Meyer Burger – Strong results in 2009

Press Release

Baar, 22 March 2010

Meyer Burger – Strong results in 2009

Meyer Burger was able to compete well during the most severe recession seen for decades. In fiscal year 2009, the company generated net sales in the amount of CHF 420.9 million (2008: CHF 448.4 million). The gross margin came to 40.4%, only slightly below the previous year’s margin, and the operating margins remained at attractive levels. EBITDA for fiscal year 2009 reached CHF 63.3 million, corresponding to a margin of 15.0%. EBIT amounted to CHF 41.3 million, reflecting a margin of 9.8%. Meyer Burger closed fiscal year 2009 with group earnings of CHF 29.2 million (2008: CHF 35.0 million). The company is financially sound with total assets as of 31 December 2009 amounting to CHF 460.2 million, and equity ratio of 42.7% (previous year 31.5%). Through the acquisition of Diamond Wire Technology, Inc. in September 2009 and the merger with 3S Industries Ltd in January 2010, Meyer Burger Group is now a full system provider offering integrated product solutions along the entire value chain of the solar industry.

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange: MTBN) generated strong results in 2009. Despite the global economic crisis and very limited credit availability that affected the financing of large projects in the solar industry, the company recorded only a moderate drop in sales of 6% to CHF 420.9 million and its operating margins remained at attractive levels. These results underline Meyer Burger Group’s robust state and strong market position. Through the acquisition of Diamond Wire Technology, Inc. in September 2009, and the merger with 3S Industries Ltd in January 2010, the company has been able to expand its range of products and services considerably while also significantly strengthening its position. Today, Meyer Burger Group serves its customers as a full system provider offering them integrated product solutions along the entire value chain of the solar industry.

“Our market position is unique in the industry”, says Peter Pauli, CEO of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd. He adds: “Our technologies and our comprehensively aligned systems enable processes along the value chain to be optimised, efficiencies to be increased and, as a result, the costs of producing solar modules and, ultimately, solar electricity to be reduced. Our company makes a key contribution to the goal of reaching grid parity for solar power.”

Incoming orders and sales
During the first half of 2009 the tight credit situation, which had already intensified towards the end of 2008, made it very difficult for many solar cell manufacturers to obtain financing for their planned infrastructure projects. As far as Meyer Burger was concerned, this meant delays with regard to the delivery of machinery for which orders had already been placed and, more generally, fewer new orders were received. The situation has stabilised during the second half of the year and a remarkable increase in demand was seen toward the end of 2009. Meyer Burger recorded a total volume of CHF 193.7 million in new orders during 2009. As of 31 December 2009, the order backlog amounted to CHF 516.4 million, which continues to provide a sound basis for the company’s performance for the current fiscal year. Meanwhile, there are signs of an improvement in the financing situation with regard to some large projects that involve a substantial expansion of capacity among solar cell producers over the next two to three years.

Overall, net sales declined by CHF 27.4 million to CHF 420.9 million in 2009. 34% of these sales were generated with customers in Europe and 60% with Asian customers.

Results of operations

Due to the lower sales number, gross profit was reduced by CHF 13.7 million to CHF 170.1 million. The gross margin for 2009 was 40.4%, compared with 41.0% for the previous year. The minimal change in the margin is due to a slightly different product mix.

Personnel expenses increased by CHF 4.3 million year-on-year to CHF 66.8 million. The higher expenses are primarily due to the acquisition of Diamond Wire Technology, which has been consolidated since September 2009. As a result of the acquisition, the workforce increased by 104 full-time employees (FTEs), to reach a total of 738 full-time positions by year-end of 2009, compared with 630 FTEs as of 31 December 2008. Operating expenses increased by CHF 1.3 million to CHF 40.0 million. Meyer Burger continued to invest into its future during 2009, mainly through Research and Development activities in conjunction with product optimisation, further applications in the area of wire saws, and the development of a process management system for the wafer fabrication process in the solar industry. Other factors that lead to an increase in operating expenses were the expansion of the Group structure, and one-time costs associated with the transition to IFRS financial reporting, as well as for the M&A transaction with 3S Industries.

EBITDA for fiscal year 2009 reached CHF 63.3 million, corresponding to a margin of 15.0%. At EBIT level, Meyer Burger recorded a profit of CHF 41.3 million and a margin of 9.8%. Group earnings came to CHF 29.2 million.

Strong balance sheet

Meyer Burger Group has a very solid financial position. Total assets as of 31 December 2009 amounted to CHF 460.2 million. Equity stood at CHF 196.3 million, which corresponds to an equity ratio of 42.7%.

Strategic growth along the value chain

The takeover of the business activities of Diamond Wire Technology (nowadays Diamond Material Tech, Inc. - DMT) in September 2009 enabled Meyer Burger to complete a key strategic acquisition in the area of diamond wire technology. DMT is the world leader in the development of diamond wire for use in shaping, slicing and wire saws.

Through the marketing and sales cooperation with Solaris (product of Oerlikon Systems), a coating system for crystalline solar cells, Meyer Burger has broadened its offerings by another core technology within the cell manufacturing during December 2009.

In January 2010, the merger with 3S Industries Ltd has further strengthened the company’s position in the area of cell and module production. 3S is a world leader in the supply of production lines and equipment used to manufacture solar modules and, through its companies Somont, 3S Swiss Solar Systems and Pasan, covers the entire value chain of solar module production.

Outlook

It is still relatively difficult to assess how the economic situation will develop. There are signs of recovery and from discussions with customers and with the new orders received during the last previous weeks, Meyer Burger is confident that further expansion phases to increase capacity among solar cell and solar module producers are planned and that the industry is preparing itself for the next phase of growth. Based on its high order backlog of currently (March 2010) over CHF 900 million, Meyer Burger expects to achieve solid results in 2010.

On a long-term perspective, Meyer Burger firmly believes that solar technology will be used to meet a high proportion of the world's energy needs in future, as an efficient and environmentally sound source of energy. Both the solar industry and Meyer Burger Group are expected to enjoy strong and sustainable growth over the coming years.

Press Release

Baar / Lyss, 9 December 2009

Unique technology group in the solar industry

Meyer Burger and 3S Industries plan to merge

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) and 3S Industries Ltd (BX Berne Exchange: SSS) are to merge and to become the first global technology group in the solar industry that will cover the most important technologies of the photovoltaic value chain, from solar silicon to entire solar systems. The combined Group will offer fully integrated manufacturing solutions for the solar industry, comprising machines and automation systems, critical consumer goods, process expertise and local services from a single source. The combination of these core competences is unique in the industry and will enable to significantly reduce costs along the entire production chain, with the aim of achieving faster grid parity for solar power. The two companies are the perfect fit in terms of their technology portfolios and geographical presence, and have a global distribution and service network that is unique in the industry. The merger will create a fully integrated systems provider with 2008 pro forma revenue of approximately CHF 557 million and a workforce comprising more than 900 employees. Under the terms of the merger, for every 11.2 registered shares in 3S Industries, 3S shareholders will receive one registered share in Meyer Burger Technology Ltd. The merger proposal will be presented to shareholders in both companies for approval at their Extraordinary General Meetings. These meetings are due to take place on 14 January 2010. The transaction is expected to be completed around 21 January 2010.

Complementary technologies along the entire value chain

The merger of the two Swiss companies Meyer Burger Technology Ltd and 3S Industries Ltd will create a new global industrial group with a unique technology and product portfolio. The new combined Group will cover all the important technologies of the value chain in the solar industry. Meyer Burger is at the forefront of the development of complex, state-of-the-art machines and systems for processing crystalline and other high-grade materials such as silicon, which is used in photovoltaics for producing solar power. The group has built process expertise over many years and combines renowned, leading global technology companies and strategic collaborations that have the necessary key skills and technologies to produce high-quality solar wafers and cells. This year Meyer Burger Technology Ltd acquired the US company Diamond Wire Technology Inc., the leading provider of diamond wire, which represents a recurring and rapidly growing revenue generator.

3S is a leading global provider of production systems for the manufacturing of solar modules. With its three companies, Somont, 3S Swiss Solar Systems and Pasan, the group covers the entire value chain of solar module production and combines the key competences of soldering, laminating and testing and offers full lines in various automation levels. 3S stands for technical progress as well as experience and skill in the development of high-quality production equipment for crystalline and thin-film technologies. The group offers solar module producers turnkey manufacturing solutions. 3S Swiss Solar Systems Ltd also develops,, produces and distributes building-integrated solar energy systems for façades, roofs and shading.

Safeguarding and expanding the existing expertise and market know-how in the individual technology and production centres will remain a key priority in the joint development of the new combined Group.

“The combined technology portfolio of Meyer Burger and 3S covers the main core competences along the value chain in the production of solar energy systems and will position us as a provider of fully integrated systems solutions. We will play a crucial role in further reducing the costs of solar power and thus help achieving the industry goal of grid parity faster", says Peter Pauli, CEO of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd.

“The strategic fit of the two companies is impressive. The merger of Meyer Burger and 3S will enable us to implement our vision of creating the leading group in the dynamic solar supplying industry and generate excellent opportunities to take advantage of the promising and expected further growth of the solar market”, adds Dr. Patrick Hofer-Noser, CEO of 3S Industries Ltd.

On a pro forma basis, the two companies together achieved revenue of CHF 557 million and EBITDA of CHF 99 million in fiscal year 2008. In the first half of 2009, despite the difficult global economic environment, pro forma revenue was CHF 277 million and EBITDA was CHF 34 million.

Strong global distribution network

The way the two companies complement each other is also apparent in the regional distribution centres. The merging of the distribution networks and anticipated cross-selling benefits will increase sales volumes, accelerate global expansion and further strengthen the new Group's presence in its key markets in Europe, Asia and the US. With its technology portfolio and strong geographical presence, the new Group will command a powerful global distribution and service network that is unique in the industry.

The company expects cost-related synergies especially in the area of material costs by bundling purchasing volumes and optimising use of combined production capacities. Taking into account the synergy potential of up to CHF 20 million p.a., higher cash earnings per share are expected for shareholders already in 2011.

Rapid implementation of the merger

After inspection of each other’s business records, the Boards of Meyer Burger and 3S Industries agreed on an exchange ratio of 11.2 registered shares in 3S Industries for one registered share in Meyer Burger Technology. According to the Boards of both companies, the exchange ratio reflects the fair value. It is also deemed to be fair and appropriate from a financial perspective in an independent fairness opinion from Ernst & Young Ltd. Credit Suisse AG is financial advisor to Meyer Burger Technology Ltd, while Capital Concepts International Ltd advises 3S Industries. KPMG acted as appointed special auditor for the merger.

The shareholders of both companies have to accept the merger proposal with a two-thirds majority of votes cast in each case. The Extraordinary General Meetings of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd and 3S Industries Ltd are scheduled to take place on 14 January 2010. No objections from the antitrust authorities are expected.

Under the condition that the merger is approved, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd will also be asked to approve a share split at a ratio of 1:10 and an increase in the share capital of maximum CHF 653,138 to a maximum of CHF 2,247,733. The newly registered shares in Meyer Burger Technology Ltd created as a result of the increase in the share capital will only be used for exchange of the existing shares in 3S Industries Ltd. The exchange of shares will take place after the Extraordinary General Meetings of the two companies and the completion of the merger. The first day of trading of the newly issued shares in Meyer Burger Technology Ltd is expected to be 18 January 2010 (Closing Date of Transaction 21 January 2010).

If the agenda items proposed by the Board of Directors are all approved, a proposal for a change in the Board of Directors of the company will also be put forward to the shareholders of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd. In case of acceptance, the Board of Directors of Meyer Burger would comprise six non-executive members (three representatives from Meyer Burger and three from 3S Industries). From the previous members of the Board of Meyer Burger, these are the existing members Peter M. Wagner, Dr. Alexander Vogel and Heinz Roth. From the current Board of 3S Industries’ side, Rudolf Samuel Güdel, Prof. Dr. Konrad Wegener and Rolf Wägli will be proposed for election to the Board of Directors of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd. Peter Pauli and Prof. Dr. Eicke Weber have agreed to step down as members of the Board of Directors of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd, on the condition that the merger and corresponding change in capital proposed by the Board of Directors are accepted.

The new Group Executive Board will comprise Peter Pauli: Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Patrick Hofer-Noser: Chief Technology Officer and Deputy CEO, Michel Hirschi: Chief Financial Officer, Sylvère Leu: Chief Operating Officer.

Meyer Burger and Oerlikon Systems enter strategic cooperation

Press Release

Baar, 2 December 2009

Meyer Burger and Oerlikon Systems enter strategic cooperation

Meyer Burger (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) and Oerlikon Systems signed a strategic distribution, cooperation & license agreement for the SOLARIS thin-film coating equipment. As part of the agreement, Meyer Burger’s sales & service organization will represent the SOLARIS equipment for crystalline Silicon PV application in most regions, such as China, Taiwan, Europe, Middle East, India & the Americas. Furthermore, the two technology firms will work together to further increase the capabilities of the SOLARIS system for anti-reflective coatings and to develop other innovative process steps within the solar cell manufacturing process.

The SOLARIS system is a high speed single wafer sputter system based on advanced nanotechnology. The system is similar in design to other high performance manufacturing systems from Oerlikon for optical discs and semiconductors. In solar cell or photovoltaic production very thin layers of silicon nitride are applied on the front of the cells. Each wafer is handled and coated separately. With six coating chambers, a special carrier transport mechanism and a wide range of potential layer material,.the system is very flexible in its possible configurations, such as for anti-reflective coatings and back-side passivation & metallization for crystalline solar cells. The machine is able to treat standard wafer formats from 125 mm² to 156 mm², with an average amounting up to 1,200 wafers per hour. Changing substrate formats, layer materials or processes takes less than an hour. A new system can be ramped up in less than one week.

With a footprint of only 2 by 3.3 meters, SOLARIS requires 80 % less floor space than comparable systems in the industry. Another remarkable characteristic is the leading low energy consumption of less then 50 percent compared to the industry standard. SOLARIS also shows an impressive high uptime thanks to very low maintenance requirements. The recent live demo of the system at the EU PVSEC tradeshow in Hamburg generated a lot of interest & excitement in the industry.

“Meyer Burger’s focus, strength and experience in the crystalline silicon PV market will enable us to reach out to cell manufacturers faster & more efficiently. Furthermore, we see significant synergies by leveraging our own organisation with Meyer Burger’s capabilities in automation, wafer & cell measurement tools and – last but not least – with Meyer Burger’s expertise in wafer surface design.” says Andreas Dill, Head of Oerlikon Systems.

“We are very happy to start a new partnership with Oerlikon Systems – a true leader in thin film technology. This agreement is in line with our growth strategy to expand our successful model of providing core technologies in photovoltaics – to the benefit of our customers by further reducing cost of ownership while increasing conversion efficiencies and plant output” adds Peter Pauli, CEO of Meyer Burger.

Meyer Burger – Increased net sales and group earnings

2009-09-03T04:00:00Z

Press Release

Baar, 3 September 2009

Meyer Burger – Increased net sales and group earnings

Meyer Burger increased its net sales and maintained the operating result at an attractive level during the first half of 2009, in an extremely challenging economic environment. Net sales rose by 11% to CHF 213.4 million (1^st half of 2008: CHF 192.7 million). Gross profit, at CHF 76.4 million, was practically unchanged compared to the previous year period. EBITDA amounted to CHF 24.2 million in the first six months of 2009, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 11.4%. Meyer Burger concluded the first half of 2009 with a profit at EBIT level of CHF 13.2 million and increased group earnings by 4% to CHF 12.1 million. In light of the continuing uncertainties with regards to the development of the global economy, it is difficult to provide clear sales and earnings forecasts for the current year. Meyer Burger expects solid results for fiscal year 2009.

Profitable growth

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) achieved solid results in the first half of 2009.

The worldwide recession had led to very limited credit availability for the financing of large infrastructure projects within the solar industry. Meyer Burger was affected by this situation, as already agreed shipments of machines were postponed, and in general fewer orders were received. Meyer Burger recorded a total volume of CHF 99.0 million of new orders in the first half of 2009. As of 30 June 2009, the order backlog amounted to CHF 661.4 million, which provides a very comfortable basis for the company’s future performance. Net sales grew by 11% to CH 213.4 million in the first half of 2009 compared to CHF 192.7 million for the same period last year. 41% of sales were generated with customers in Europe and just over 58% with customers in Asia.

Gross profit, at CHF 76.4 million, was practically unchanged compared with CHF 76.1 million in the previous year period. The gross margin in the first half of 2009 was 35.8% compared to 39.5% during the first half of 2008. The lower margin can be attributed to a change in the product mix and to lower levels of other income during the reporting period.

Personnel expenses increased by approximately 6% to CHF 31.3 million. The number of employees reached 635 (FTE) as of 30 June 2009, an increase of 35% compared to the workforce employed by the Group as of 30 June 2008. Operating expenses rose to CHF 20.9 million in the first half of 2009 compared with CHF 16.5 million in the same period last year. The increase is mainly due to larger investments in research and development in conjunction with product optimisation, further applications in the area of wire saws, and the development of a process management system for wafer factories in the solar industry. In addition, Meyer Burger incurred higher costs as a result of the expansion of the Group, the change of the financial reporting to IFRS, and the M&A expenses in conjunction with the acquisition of Diamond Wire Technology.

EBITDA for the first half of 2009 amounted to CHF 24.2 million with a margin of 11.4% compared to EBITDA of CHF 30.1 million and a margin of 15.6% in the first half of 2008. In terms of EBIT, Meyer Burger generated a profit of CHF 13.2 million compared to CHF 19.7 million in the first half of 2008. Thanks to a higher net financial result, Group earnings improved by 4% to CHF 12.1 million.

Solid balance sheet

Meyer Burger Group has a very solid financial position. At the balance sheet date on 30 June 2009, total assets amounted to CHF 373.6 million. Equity was at CHF 138.9 million, which corresponds to an equity ratio of 37.2%.

Strategic acquisition

At the beginning of August 2009, Meyer Burger announced the 100% acquisition of Diamond Wire Technology (DWT), which it considers a strategically important takeover. DWT is a world leader in the development of diamond wire technology. With this acquisition, Meyer Burger is expanding its product portfolio and consolidating its position as the technological leader in slicing technologies for the solar industry.

Outlook

The worldwide economic crisis isn’t over yet. In view of the ongoing uncertainties regarding the future economic development, it remains difficult to provide clear sales and earnings forecasts. Meyer Burger expects to achieve solid results for the entire fiscal year 2009. From discussions with customers and the fact that there are various plans for further expansion phases in the production capacity of solar cell manufacturers, Meyer Burger believes that the industry is preparing itself for the next phase of growth.

Looking ahead, the solar industry will play a major role in ensuring that the world’s future energy requirements can be met efficiently and in an environmentally sound manner. Meyer Burger therefore believes in strong, sustainable growth both for the solar industry as well as for its own Group.

Media Release

Baar, 6 August 2009

Meyer Burger Group expands technology competence by acquiring Diamond Wire Technology

Meyer Burger is strengthening its technological leadership in the field of slicing technologies in the solar industry by acquiring 100% of Diamond Wire Technology (DWT), with which it has been operating a marketing and development co-operation since 2003. DWT is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and has been concentrating on the development and production of diamond wire and diamond wire saws for over 40 years. The company currently has about 100 employees. With this acquisition, Meyer Burger is expanding its technology portfolio by a strategically important key technology in its core business of processing crystalline silicon for the solar industry. The involved parties have agreed to observe secrecy about the purchase price. Meyer Burger expects the transaction to be completed in September 2009.

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) acquires 100 % of the business activities of Diamond Wire Technology LLC (DWT), Colorado Springs, Colorado. DWT is the market leader in diamond wire technology and was founded over forty years ago (http://www.diamondwiretech.com). Since 2003, a close and successful co-operation has evolved between DWT and Meyer Burger in the development and the application of diamond wire. For the Meyer Burger Group, this acquisition represents an important strategic step and an ideal expansion of its technology portfolio along the value chain in the solar industry and the photovoltaic technology sector.

During the last few years, diamond wire has been used successfully for slicing sapphire as substrate for the production of LEDs and for other very hard and expensive crystals. Based on the same technology, both companies have together developed processes for slicing silicon for wafers used in the solar industry. From an economic as well as technological point of view, the application of diamond wire for slicing valuable silicon into super-thin solar wafers is highly interesting and complements today’s widely spread slicing technology which uses slurry – a slicing paste consisting of glycol and silicon carbide SiC. The solar industry as a emerging and important renewable energy technology for the provision of almost CO₂ neutral electricity is confronted with the challenge to quickly and sustainably reduce the costs for the production of the solar cells required. Meyer Burger Technology Group is convinced that the use of the diamond wire technology of DWT in combination with the slicing and wire saws of Meyer Burger will provide their customers with a significant and decisive technological impulse, for them to achieve a reduction of the total costs of ownership in wafering.

“By expanding our technology portfolio with diamond wire, we once again contribute to a substantial reduction of the manufacturing costs of solar cells for the industry,” says Peter Pauli, CEO of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd. “Together with DWT we have a lot of experience, innovative power and market strength to introduce this technology in photovoltaics quickly and sustainably.”

The parties have agreed to observe secrecy about the purchase price. The transaction involves a cash amount, which is provided through a syndicated credit by Credit Suisse, Zürcher Kantonalbank and UBS, as well as 163,000 registered shares of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd out of the existing authorised share capital. The transaction is expected to be completed by September 2009.

Meyer Burger to change its financial reporting to IFRS

2009-07-01T04:30:00Z

Media Release

Baar, 1 July 2009

Meyer Burger to change its financial reporting to IFRS

Meyer Burger Technology AG (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) has decided to change its financial reporting from Swiss GAAP FER to IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standard) retrospectively as of 1 January 2009. With this move, the consolidated financial statements of the globally active Meyer Burger Technology Group will become even more transparent and internationally comparable for the capital market.

The half-year statements as of 30 June 2009 will be prepared in full compliance with IFRS. In view of different accounting principles, the change from Swiss GAAP FER to IFRS will lead to changes affecting, inter alia, the treatment of goodwill, customer prepayments, pension fund obligations, derivative financial instruments for cash flow hedging, employee participation plans and the treatment of minority interests within the Group.

Under IFRS, goodwill is recognised as an intangible asset. It is subject to an annual impairment test and recognised at purchase price less any accumulated impairment losses. Under Swiss GAAP FER, Meyer Burger has so far amortised goodwill over five years using the straight-line method. In the case of customer prepayments, under IFRS there is no re-evaluation at closing foreign exchange rates at the end of the reporting period as there is under Swiss GAAP FER. Furthermore, pension fund obligations are calculated differently, which will lead to a change in personnel costs as compared with Swiss GAAP FER. Under IFRS, financial instruments to hedge cash flows will be recorded at their fair value. Under Swiss GAAP FER, such hedging transactions were not entered in the balance sheet but were disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Under IFRS, the treatment of employee participation plans will, in some cases, be recognised as expenses. In view of existing contractual agreements, the minority interests of subsidiaries AMB and Hennecke will be carried as 100% participations with immediate effect in accordance with IFRS, and will be reported in the balance sheet accordingly.

The effects of the change to IFRS in relation to the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and changes in equity for fiscal year 2008 will be published on 3 September 2009 together with the Half-Year Report 2009 of Meyer Burger Group, following a detailed review by the Company auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd. The respective figures of the previous year and effects of the changes will be disclosed in detail in the financial statements prepared in line with IFRS as of 30 June 2009.

Meyer Burger launches the BrickMaster BM 850 – maximum productivity at best cost of ownership

Press Release

Baar, 2^nd June 2009

Meyer Burger launches the BrickMaster BM 850 – maximum productivity at best cost of ownership

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN), a globally active technology group for innovative systems and processes in the photovoltaic industry, launches the market introduction of a new product, the BrickMaster BM850, for bricking mullti-crystalline silicon ingots in the solar market. The new high-tech wire saw is based on the wire saw technology developed specifically by Meyer Burger for the photovoltaic industry and allows for the precise and quick bricking of multi-crystalline silicon ingots into high-grade square bricks. The BrickMaster increases machine utilisation by up to 65% due to the modular design of the machine, an independent, parallel wire tension system and a sophisticated maintenance process.

Customers benefit from cost reductions for maximum production yield

The need on the part of the customer to slice valuable multi-crystalline silicon ingots as quickly and accurately as possible and at the lowest cost of ownership for further processing in the manufacturing process for thin and high-grade silicon wafers were the key issues when developing the BrickMaster. After a development period of only six months Meyer Burger can now present to its customers a wire saw that fully meets these requirements.

Modular design – maximum machine utilisation

The entire machine is based on a modular design of established and effective wire saw technologies used in the DS264 and DS271 models. The wire web for slicing the multi-crystalline silicon ingot is guided over four pulleys and controlled accordingly by independent drive motors. This ensures uniform tension of the wire web and the risk of a wire break is minimised.

The markedly improved machine utilisation means an increase in production yield of 10%, a fact that can lead to distinctly lower cost of ownership throughout the entire value-added chain of wafer manufacturing. The BrickMaster also sets new standards in terms of consumables. Compared to other systems of this type available in the market, the cost for consumables and spare parts such as wire guide rollers and pulleys could be reduced by more than 30 percent. As a result, the BrickMaster offers a cost advantage of 5 – 7% in terms of consumables for each silicon brick cut and about 8% in terms of manufacturing costs for each silicon brick.

Another outstanding feature of the product is the cutting unit that can be operated entirely separate from and parallel to the production process. While one bricking process is running, at the same time a second cutting unit can be fitted with a wire web or maintenance work carried out on the cutting unit. The cutting unit can be entirely removed, thus increasing the machine utilisation by more than 65 percent. This operating process is unique in the industry and underlines Meyer Burger Technology Group’s leading position in the photovoltaic industry.

Current market situation doesn’t permit return to normality

On 24th February 2009 the Meyer Burger Ltd group company, with its production facility in Thun, announced a temporary introduction of short-time working from 2^nd March until 31^st May 2009. Employees from the production department have been affected by the short-time working procedure. The first signs of an economic stabilisation and the strong solar development plan for China announced recently by the Chinese government did not have any positive influence on the delivery situation among Asian customers in the short and medium term. Therefore, Meyer Burger Ltd shall extend short-time working throughout the summer months. The research & development, machine and software development, services, marketing, sales and finance divisions shall continue to be exempt from short-time working.

Meyer Burger – Strong growth in sales and earnings in 2008

2009-03-23T05:25:00Z

Press Release

Baar, 23rd March 2009

Meyer Burger – Strong growth in sales and earnings in 2008

Meyer Burger generated excellent growth in sales and earnings during fiscal year 2008. Net sales rose 119% to CHF 455.4 million (2007: CHF 208.0 million) and EBITDA increased 204% to CHF 84.4 million (2007: CHF 27.8 million). At EBIT level the increase amounted to 208% for a total of CHF 77.1 million (2007: CHF 25.0 million). Group earnings amounted to CHF 38.1 million, 98% higher than in the previous year (2007: CHF 19.2 million). These results show that Meyer Burger exceeded its sales and profitability targets despite the emerging economic crisis, and reached the increased guidance hat was given by mid-year 2008.

Dynamic, profitable growth
Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) succeeded in further consolidating its dominant position in the solar industry. At 31 December 2008, Meyer Burger had an order backlog of CHF 829.8 million (31.12.2007: CHF 657.9 million) which represents an excellent basis for dynamic performance in the years to come. The Group also recorded incoming orders in 2008 in a total amount of CHF 575.5 million (2007: CHF 710.5 million). These new orders again included several major orders for machinery deliveries of which will extend into the next two or three years. Thanks to comprehensive capacity adjustments and process optimization efforts in serial production of wire saws during 2007/08, customers now benefit from considerably shorter lead times and manufacturing cycles. Accordingly, some customers are now placing orders with shorter delivery times. It comes as no surprise to the Group therefore that incoming orders for fiscal year 2008 did not quite match the level recorded during the previous year.

Net sales rose 119% to CHF 455.4 million (2007: CHF 208.0 million). Organic growth was 101%. Some 78% of net sales were generated with customers in Asia, while for Europe the figure was around 20%.

Gross profit was up 113% to CHF 183.7 million (2007: CHF 86.2 million). The gross margin amounted to 40.3% (2007: 41.5%). The slightly lower gross margin comes as a result of the high degree of modularity and the corresponding increase in third-party costs as well as from semi-finished/finished goods and machines prior to customer acceptance, which amounted to CHF 88.1 million. As a result of applying the completed contract method, these are reported in the income statement at manufacturing cost and therefore do not yet reflect profitability.

The Group also performed very well in terms of EBITDA, EBIT and Group earnings. EBITDA was up 204% to CHF 84.4 million (2007: CHF 27.8 million). EBIT reported in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER came to CHF 57.5 million for fiscal year 2008. This figure includes amortization costs on intangible assets and goodwill of the acquired companies Hennecke and AMB totaling CHF 19.6 million. Adjusted for these amortization effects, Meyer Burger recorded EBIT of CHF 77.1 million for the year under review, which represents an EBIT margin of 16.9% (2007: CHF 25.0 million and a margin of 12.0%). The company therefore clearly exceeded its own target EBIT margin range of 13-15%1 for 2008. Group earnings increased to CHF 38.1 million, 98% up on the previous year (2007: CHF 19.2 million).

Solid balance sheet
Meyer Burger continues to have a very strong balance sheet structure. Total assets amounted to CHF 390.3 million as at December 31, 2008 (31.12.2007: CHF 207.8 million). With CHF 147.1 million in equity and an equity ratio of 37.7%, Meyer Burger has a sound financial position.

Strategic expansion of the Group and top industrial performance
Meyer Burger Group successfully expanded the Group with the acquisition of majority stakes in Hennecke Systems GmbH (precision measuring technology for wafer and cell lines) and AMB Apparate + Maschinenbau GmbH (automated solutions for wafer handling and transport) as well as through the foundation of two service companies in Germany and Norway (Meyer Burger Services, acting as service providers).

In terms of production, manufacturing processes were further refined in Thun with the commissioning of a new logistics centre. Ongoing optimization of production and assembly processes and the integration of the new logistics system have enabled another substantial increase in the number of specialized sawing machines produced. In 2008, Meyer Burger Ltd produced a total of 637 machines (2007: 283 machines). At the same time, order lead time - from placement of order to the machine being ready for transportation - was reduced to three weeks.

Start of the 2009 reporting year
During the first two months of 2009, Meyer Burger received various positive signals from the market indicating that the financing of planned expansion phases is progressing again among customers in Asia who had started to withhold deliveries as a result of the credit crisis. Some machines for which customers had delayed deliveries can now be delivered again.

Despite this situation, Meyer Burger temporarily introduced short-time working from 2 March to 31 May 2009, for the production at Meyer Burger Ltd in Thun. This was done in order to adjust production capacities to the current workload. The short order lead time of three weeks for wire saws enables Meyer Burger Ltd to adjust its production output to increased volumes within a very short period of time. Meyer Burger expects improved production capacity utilization during the second half of 2009. Various orders that the company has received from prominent European solar wafer manufacturers over the past six months underline the Group's positive opinion that the solar industry will continue its strong development in the long term.

Press Release

Baar, 12th February 2009

Meyer Burger announces strong growth in Net Sales and Earnings in 2008

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) today announced key figures (un-audited) for the annual results 2008. The company increased its Net Sales to CHF 455 million (+119% compared to the previous year) and confirms an order backlog of more than CHF 800 million as at 31st December 2008. Meyer Burger’s targeted EBIT margin of 13 – 15% (excluding effects for amortisation of goodwill and intangible assets from the acquired companies) was also markedly exceeded with an achieved margin of more than 16%. Meyer Burger will publish further details on its annual results at the press and analyst conference on 23rd March 2009.

The difficult economic situation and the credit crisis in particular, led to financing difficulties for some solar cell manufacturers with regards to orders they had already placed with Meyer Burger. Agreed shipments were postponed and Meyer Burger had to adjust its production capacities correspondingly at the beginning of 2009. Meyer Burger has now received positive signals from the market that the financing for planned expansion phases for different customers has become available again.

Recently, the company received a confirmation from the Chinese solar wafer manufacturer ReneSola that the customer’s financial situation had been clarified and Meyer Burger can ship in March 2009 the first wire saws in a value of about CHF 20 million out of an existing order. This delivery is part of a larger order concluded in July 2008 for an overall value of more than CHF 60 million.

Meyer Burger rates this delivery as a very positive signal within the industry. “The quantities are indeed still moderate, but clearly show that the industry is preparing itself for the time after the credit crisis” says Peter Pauli, CEO of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd. In January 2009, another partial delivery of a different postponed order was already executed. Wire saws supplied and installed in 2009 will guarantee the capacities for the solar market in 2010. “We continue to expect significant growth in the medium term” says Peter Pauli. Various economic stimulus packages throughout the world to promote renewable energies give support and confidence.

In the short term Meyer Burger will continue to act cautiously. Capacities remain at a reduced level for the time being and the introduction of partial short-time work for a certain period of time will also be considered if necessary. As soon as the economic situation improves, the appropriate capacities can be quickly increased, even on a short term basis. Meyer Burger will use the time to further optimise its manufacturing processes.

Meyer Burger reacts appropriately and effectively to the difficult economic environment

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) announced today that its subsidiary Meyer Burger Ltd has adjusted the intensive growth strategy to the difficult economic and financial environment. It has prepared possible scenarios and capacity adjustment measures to secure a sustainable and cost-efficient growth.

Over recent years, Meyer Burger has continuously modernised and adapted its production to the immense growth rates. Today, the company is able to manufacture the machines for delivery in a “just-in-time” production process and according to defined delivery plans. Due to delays on the customer side, Meyer Burger has to adjust various deliveries and therefore its production capacities in early 2009. The difficult economic environment forces Meyer Burger Ltd to prepare different scenarios and measures in a responsible, provident, and sustained way. As a first measure, the reduction of temporary work force at the production site in Thun was implemented. Further possibilities such as taking up the balance of unused holidays, a reduction of overtime hours or the use of unpaid leave will be taken into consideration or applied when implementing capacity adjustments. Other measures to secure and sustain Know-How and the flexibility of delivery are being planned and, if necessary, will be put into place.

Meyer Burger confirms its targets for net sales in an amount of approx. CHF 450 million for fiscal year 2008, as already communicated at an earlier point in time.

Meyer Burger – Dynamic Growth – Excellent Outlook

2008-09-12T04:30:00Z

Press Release

Baar, 12 September 2008

Meyer Burger – Dynamic Growth – Excellent Outlook

Meyer Burger achieved very strong growth in the first half of 2008. Net sales tripled compared to the same period last year and reached CHF 201.0 million (HY1 2007 CHF 67.3 million). This amount in HY1 2008 is almost on a par with total sales generated in the entire fiscal year 2007. EBITDA increased by 416% to CHF 29.0 million (HY1 2007 CHF 5.6 million). EBIT¹ reached CHF 26.7 million (HY1 2007 CHF 4.5 million) and Group earnings rose by 280% to CHF 12.5 million (HY1 2007 CHF 3.3 million). Meyer Burger expects further strong growth and excellent earnings for the second half of 2008.

Dynamic growth and very good performance

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SWX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) developed very successfully for the first six months of 2008. The Group reported incoming orders in a total amount of CHF 235.4 million (HY1 2007 CHF 386.9 million). After the balance sheet date, further large orders with a total value of around CHF 150 million were received from different customers. As of 30 June 2008 the order backlog was at CHF 731.8 million (31 December 2007: CHF 657.9 million). This provides an excellent starting position for continuously strong, dynamic sales growth in the second half of 2008 and over the next few years.

Net sales increased by 199% to CHF 201.1 million (HY1 CHF 67.3 million). As expected, this increase was primarily accomplished through organic growth. Approximately 81% of net sales in the first half of 2008 were generated with customers in Asia and just over 17% with customers in Europe.

Gross profit increased by 160% to CHF 74.6 million (HY1 2007 CHF 28.7 million). In line with the strong growth, the in-house production depth in manufacturing was further reduced, as planned. This led to an increase in cost of products and services, which resulted in a gross margin of 37.1% for the reporting period. The growth in personnel expenses was lower compared to the growth rate for net sales, as personnel expenses increased to CHF 29.1 million (HY1 2007 CHF 15.3 million). The number of employees increased by 91 full-time positions to a total workforce of 510 people (470 FTE) employed worldwide as of 30 June 2008. In direct coherence with the overall growth, operating expenses also increased to CHF 16.4 million (HY1 2007 CHF 7.7 million). This was mainly due to increased transport expenses and higher rental costs for the expanded assembly and production areas.

Meyer Burger also performed very well in terms of EBITDA, EBIT and Group earnings. EBITDA improved by a substantial 416% to CHF 29.0 million, which represents EBITDA margin of 14.4% (HY1 2007 CHF 5.6 million and margin of 8.4%). EBIT, as defined by Swiss GAAP FER, reached CHF 17.3 million in the first half of 2008. This includes amortisation expenses on goodwill and intangible assets for the acquired companies Hennecke and AMB in a total of CHF 9.3 million. Adjusted for these amortisation effects, EBIT for the first half of 2008 amounted to CHF 26.7 million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 13.3%. Meyer Burger has thus already moved into the range of its full-year 2008 target for an EBIT margin of 13-15%¹ during the first six months of 2008. Group earnings increased by 280% and came to CHF 12.5 million (HY1 2007 CHF 3.3 million).

Solid financial situation

The financial situation of Meyer Burger continues to be very solid. Total assets were CHF 378.3 million as of
30 June 2008 (31 December 2007 CHF 207.8 million). Equity stood at CHF 124.8 million (31 December 2007 CHF 69.9 million), which corresponds to an equity ratio of 33%.

Further development and outlook for 2008

The Board of Directors and the Executive Board anticipate very dynamic sales growth during the second half of 2008, partly because of the very high order backlog by end of June 2008. The proviso with regard to the fact that customers have to realize their infrastructure projects in time, as mentioned in the guidance at the beginning of the year, has proven to be a realistic assessment of the current situation. Nevertheless, the Company is increasing its estimate for FY 2008 net sales by CHF 50 million to CHF 450 million. The target to achieve EBIT margin of 13-15%, excluding effects of amortisation for goodwill and intangible assets from the acquired companies, remains unchanged.

On a mid-term horizon, Meyer Burger expects targeted acquisitions and the expansion of its service network to provide additional momentum, thereby supporting the continuously dynamic development of the Group.

Meyer Burger plans to acquire a majority stake in the French group EMIX SA in order to strengthen its offerings along the value chain and to close the crystallisation gap

2008-07-21T04:30:00Z

Press Release

Baar, 21 July 2008

Meyer Burger plans to acquire a majority stake in the French group EMIX SA in order to strengthen its offerings along the value chain and to close the crystallisation gap

Meyer Burger has signed a conditinal share purchase agreement to acquire a majority stake of around 76% of the share capital of EMIX SA, a French company headquartered in St-Maurice La Souterraine (F). EMIX is a specialist in the production of multi-crystalline silicon blocks and has developed a process for producing continuous silicon blocks of totally new dimensions, thereby making it possible to achieve considerable savings in energy and raw materials. The company uses crystallisation systems it has developed in-house to produce silicon blocks for customers in Europe and Asia and achieved sales of approx. EURO 4 million in the 2007 fiscal year. EMIX currently has 25 employees. The planned acquisition will broaden and strengthen the portfolio of Meyer Burger Group along the entire value chain and close the crystallisation gap. EMIX shall continue to be managed by its former owners and run with the existing staff. The involved parties have agreed to observe secrecy about the intended purchase price. The transaction is expected to be completed during autumn 2008.

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SWX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) announced today, that it has signed a conditional share purchase agreement for the acquisition of a majority stake of approx. 76% of the share capital of EMIX SA. EMIX, headquartered in St-Maurice La Souterraine (Limousin region/F), was founded in November 2002. The company operates in Europe, mainly in Germany and France, as well as in Asia and achieved sales of approx. EURO 4 million in the 2007 fiscal year. The current management team shalll continue to manage the company together with the existing staff of 25 employees.

EMIX is an experienced operator of crystal growing systems and is a specialist in the vertical production of continuous silicon blocks. The company has developed a technology which makes it possible to cast long multi-crystalline silicon blocks and thus produce silicon blocks of completely new dimensions while also optimising energy consumption. These new silicon block sizes are ideally suited for use with Meyer Burger saw systems and help optimise utilisation. The method used previously could only produce wide, flat multi-crystalline silicon blocks. When processing long silicon blocks, only a few cuts are needed to achieve an output-optimised production process for wafer manufacturing. In addition, the continuous crystal casting method produces pure silicon blocks which allows to optimise kerf loss. The innovative technology from EMIX thus will make it possible to shorten the wafer line.

For the Meyer Burger Group, the planned acquisition of EMIX and thus the purchase of a new silicon crystallisation process means the upstream integration of another technology into the existing wafer line.

Information on the transaction

Meyer Burger intends to acquire approx. 76% of the share capital of EMIX in a first step, and has already agreed with the current owners on further options with regard to purchasing the remaining share capital at a later stage. The signed purchase agreement is subject to usual conditions. Meyer Burger will finance the acquisition with cash from existing funds and by shares of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd. The transaction is expected to be completed during autumn 2008.

Hennecke receives order of approx. CHF 1.6 million for the integration of the newly developed “Micro Crack Measurement” system for solar wafers

Hennecke Systems GmbH, a member of the Meyer Burger Technology Group, wins a significant order of approx. CHF 1.6 million from a leading European manufacturer of solar wafers for the integration of Micro Crack measuring modules in the existing wafer production lines. The order represents a new part of an already existing order for measurement machines with a total value of approx. CHF 12 million. The delivery and installation is scheduled for the second to fourth quarter 2008.

Meyer Burger Technology AG (SWX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) announced today that Hennecke Systems GmbH, a member of the Meyer Burger Group, located in Zülpich, Germany has successfully concluded an order for the introduction of the new Micro Crack measurement module system into the wafer production lines of a leading European manufacturer of multi crystalline silicon wafers. For Hennecke Systems, this order is an important milestone in the introduction of this new measurement technology to the market.

The Micro Crack measurement technology allows a precise detection of invisible cracks inside solar wafers and to exclude defective wafers from further processing. As a result, the breakage rate of wafers is minimised in the subsequent machining stages and manufacturing costs are being optimized throughout the entire production process. Optimizing process costs will become increasingly important for manufacturers of top quality wafers and will become a competitive advantage.

The customer is extending its current order for measuring machines from Hennecke with the new Micro Crack measurement module and shall integrate it into its production lines. The delivery and installation is scheduled to take place between the second and fourth quarter 2008. Hennecke Systems negotiates the delivery of new measuring systems and upgrades of existing systems with the new module with worldwide leading manufacturers of solar wafers and solar cells.

Hennecke is strengthening its own market position in the field of the final inspection of solar wafers with the new Micro Crack Detection technology and underlines the vision of Meyer Burger to become a leading technology group for innovative systems and processes in the handling of crystalline and other high-grade materials.

Meyer Burger adheres to its corporate strategy – The Company dissociates itself from a conclusion concerning a possible entrance into thin film technology mentioned in an article published in Handelszeitung today, Wednesday 21 May 2008

In today’s edition of Handelszeitung, 21 May 2008, an interview was published, which suggested that Meyer Burger Technology Ltd might consider an entrance into thin film technology as a possible scenario. This interpretation is not correct and completely contradictory to the corporate strategy of Meyer Burger.

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SWX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) comments on today’s published interview in the Handelszeitung, dated 21 May 2008, and clearly dissociates itself from the interpretation of an answer that was given with respect to thin film technology.

Peter Pauli, CEO of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd, was asked in the interview, whether an entrance into the manufacturing processes of thin film technology was a possible solution for the company. Peter Pauli had answered that Meyer Burger does not exclude developments into other technologies used for the manufacturing of crystalline silicon. However, the Company would clearly not pursue a “Me-Too” strategy with regards to thin film technology. Meyer Burger continuously examines other technologies and, if a clear differentiation to existing technologies, such as crystalline silicon or thin film were to become available the Company would qualify such new technologies for its potential strategic fit.

The headline of Handelszeitung states: “Even an entrance into the emerging thin film technology is possible”. This interpretation is wrong and contradictory to the corporate strategy of Meyer Burger.

Meyer Burger – Dynamic Growth in Fiscal Year 2007 – Positive Outlook

2008-03-27T05:30:00Z

Media Release

Baar, 27 March 2008

Meyer Burger – Dynamic Growth in Fiscal Year 2007 – Positive Outlook

Meyer Burger achieved strong organic growth in fiscal year 2007. Incoming orders rose by more than CHF 540 million to CHF 710.5 million (2006: CHF 169.7 million). Net sales increased by 152% to CHF 208.0 million (2006: CHF 82.6 million) and EBIT rose by 212% to CHF 25.0 million (2006: CHF 8.0 million). Group earnings amounted to CHF 19.2 million, representing an increase of 242% compared to the previous year (2006: CHF 5.6 million). Meyer Burger expects further strong growth in net sales and an increase in profitability for the current fiscal year 2008.

Strong profitable growth

Meyer Burger Technology Ltd (SWX Swiss Exchange: MBTN) was able to conclude fiscal year 2007 in an exceptionally successful manner and continued to expand its dominant market position in the dynamic solar industry. In 2007, the Group had incoming orders amounting to CHF 710.5 million (2006: CHF 169.7 million). This strong increase of 319% is mainly attributable to several large orders received and higher investment willingness from customers in the solar industry. The order backlog as of 31 December 2007 increased by 365% to CHF 657.9 million (2006: CHF 141.4 million). This provides an excellent position for sustainable, organic growth in the upcoming years.

Net sales rose by 152% to CHF 208.0 million (2006: CHF 82.6 million) and was achieved exclusively by organic growth. The continuing dynamic demand from customers in the Asian region contributed strongly to this growth, but in Europe too the positive investment climate resulted in strong demand. About 74% of net sales in 2007 were generated with customers in Asia, whereas about 24% were accounted for by European customers.

Gross profit rose by 116% to CHF 86.2 million (2006: CHF 39.9 million). Gross margin as a percentage of net sales amounted to 41.5% in 2007 (2006: 48.3%). Reasons for the slightly lower gross margin are for one the fact that as a result of the excellent order backlog, changes in the inventory of finished products and work in process have amounted to CHF 47.7 million and are recognised in the income statement at manufacturing costs, thereby not yet reflecting their true profitability (this occurs as a consequence of the “completed contract method” applied in the financial statements of the Company). In addition, the reduction of in-house production depth as well as price increases in raw materials and metals had an effect on the costs of raw materials and purchased parts.

EBIT was also very positive. In fiscal 2007 Meyer Burger increased EBIT by 212% to CHF 25.0 million (2006: CHF 8.0 million). The EBIT margin improved to 12.0% (2006: 9.7%). Group earnings came to CHF 19.2 million, reflecting an improvement of 242% compared to the previous year (2006: CHF 5.6 million). Earnings per share amounted to CHF 6.48 in 2007 compared to CHF 1.89 in 2006.

Solid balance sheet structure

Meyer Burger has a solid balance sheet structure. Total assets as of 31 December 2007 amounted to CHF 244.9 million (2006: CHF 124.7 million). Equity was CHF 69.9 million as of balance sheet date (2006: CHF 50.8 million), which corresponds to an equity ratio of 28.5%. This ratio includes the effect of CHF 106.5 million in customer prepayments accounted in current liabilities.

Growing along the value chain in the solar industry

Meyer Burger Group was able to make important steps along the value chain in the solar industry by acquiring majority stakes in Hennecke Systems GmbH (precision measuring systems for wafer and cell lines) and in AMB Apparate + Maschinenbau GmbH (wafer handling and automation systems) at the end of 2007. The purchase contracts were concluded in February and January 2008, respectively. Meyer Burger also founded a new subsidiary, Meyer Burger Automation GmbH in Germany, which concentrates particularly on robotics and brick handling. The successful expansion of the Group enables Meyer Burger to further strengthen its market position and to continue to expand its leading position in the industry.

Outlook

Based on the excellent order backlog, the Board of Directors and Management of Meyer Burger expect the Company to grow stronger than its addressed markets also during 2008. Provided that the customers realize their infrastructure projects on time, the Company considers net sales in an amount of approximately CHF 400 million as accomplishable for the current fiscal year 2008. A target of 13 – 15%¹ has also been set for the EBIT margin. The acquisitions that were already carried out and potentially new ones, aimed at further expanding Meyer Burger’s market position, will provide additional momentum for the continued successful development of the Company on a mid term horizon.

Strengthening of the market position and earnings power

With the two acquisitions Meyer Burger is extending its core competencies with fundamental technology elements such as “high-precision measurement technology” and “automation/handling” of wafers and solar cells. Parallel to the takeovers, Meyer Burger has also formed an own company within the Group in Germany (MB Automation). MB Automation specialises on process elements such as “robotics” and “brick handling”. Within its Group, Meyer Burger is now merging the individual core competences and will transfer from its subsidiary Meyer Burger AG already existing process elements like measurement technology, handling and automation into the new companies.

With these acquisitions Meyer Burger is strengthening and expanding its market presence and its globally leading position as a technology group for systems and processes used in the treatment of crystalline and other high-grade materials. The entire Group will continue to show further substantial growth and increase its earnings power.

Peter Pauli, CEO of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd, points out: “With Hennecke, amb and Meyer Burger there is a force of three profitable and strongly growing companies that, with their different technologies, fit excellent together into one Group. Adding these technologies and thereby expanding along the value chain of solar wafer manufacturing will enable us to extend our leading position in the solar industry even further”.
