Financial results New Connect – Foundation of our Financial Strategy
Projections& Valuation After generating material revenues and turning profitable for the first time in 2009 Q2, Photon Energy forecasts a net profit of CZK 68 million for the full year 2009. Photon Energy’s revenues and profitability are driven by the to-be-completed photovoltaic power plants to be built by Photon Engineering in 2009 Q4 and the accelerating development of Photon Trading. Both these activities and the continued development of Photon Energy’s other operating subsidiaries promise to lay the foundation for material revenue and profit growth in 2010 and beyond. Investors in the 2008 private placement paid 1.3x EV/EBIT09 and 1.7x PER09. Photon Energy’s current profit multiples of 3.9x EV/EBIT and 4.8x PER based on 2009 forecast financials can be viewed as neither very challenging nor discounting the potential for significant profit growth in 2010.

Financial Strategy Photon Energy views its status as a public company as a major strategic advantage and intends to fully utilize it in its financial strategy going forward through the following steps: Equity A second capital increase combined with the graduation to the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange is currently planned for 2010 Q2. This step should broaden the company’s investor base and materially improve the company’s access to equity capital if required in the future and brings the company’s shares into a higher-multiple valuation environment. Debt Photon Energy is in the process of analyzing the feasibility of bond issues as an alternative to bank project financing. Photon Energy’s public status and transparency are believed to represent material advantages in this process and may allow a partial retail distribution.
