The management Board of Photon Energy N.V. publishes financial results for a second quarter ended 30 June 2019. Consolidated revenues increased by 17.6% to EUR 7.941 million, delivering an EBITDA of EUR 3.515 million, up 3.8% year-on-year. Both net profit and total comprehensive income returned to the black in 2019Q2 compared to losses in the corresponding period in 2018. The Company attributed the 17.6% (YOY) increase in revenues primarily to the increase of electricity production sales and the expansion of its proprietary portfolio of PV power plants in Hungary by 11.6 MWp, the engineering business in Australia, and PV technology trading. Production reached 14.5 GWh (up 36.8% YOY) in the second quarter compared to 10.6 GWh in the corresponding quarter last year. Despite increased project development costs and increases in administrative and personnel expenses, EBITDA was still able to be improved by 3.8% YOY to EUR 3.515 million, while EBIT improved by 3.6% YOY to EUR 1.523 million. Net profit reached EUR 0.208 million compared to a loss of EUR 0.155 million and the total comprehensive income reached EUR 0.664 million after a loss of EUR 1.274 million in the prior-year period. In the reporting period, the Company continued to expand its project pipeline in Hungary by acquiring 13 new projects with a total capacity of 16.3 MWp. An additional four new projects with a combined capacity of 2.8 MWp were added after the reporting period, reaching the target of 50 MWp for the Company's proprietary portfolio.
