In a strong third quarter, the Group increased both sales revenues and earnings significantly compared to the two previous quarters. At EUR 96.9 million after nine months, consolidated sales revenues are now slightly higher than in the same period of the previous year. The operating result EBIT has improved overproportionately. At 10.3%, the EBIT margin is in the double-digit range. For the current 2020 fiscal year, PVA TePla AG expects sales revenues in the scale of EUR 130 million and an operating result (EBITDA) in the scale of EUR 17 million. "Our good result in the first three quarters is all the more pleasing given that the Corona pandemic has caused many uncertainties and obstacles in recent months," says Alfred Schopf, CEO of PVA TePla AG. "The fact that we have been able to stand our ground so successfully even under these challenging conditions shows how well positioned we are both in terms of products and structures. Our set of measures to increase profitability is also paying off.
