Phoenix Solar AG: Board of Directors revises EBIT guidance for 2009

Sulzemoos 25 June 2009 / The Board of Directors of Phoenix Solar AG
(ISINDE000A0BVU93) no longer assumes that the EBIT guidance of
approximately EUR 31 million published in January 2009 for the financial
year 2009 can be achieved.

The reason for this assessment is the continuing decline in prices
particularly for solar modules, resulting in downward pressure on margins,
buying resistance on the part of customers, and an increased devaluation
requirement for current inventories.

Until now, based on various signals, the Board of Directors had expected
that price declines had reached their lowest point and that earning
situation would recover. These expectations were not confirmed.

The Board of Directors expects a positive EBIT for the financial year 2009,
but will only release a detailed EBIT guidance when the current development
in prices has stabilised, enabling a more precise estimate of the trend in
earnings.

Based on revenues to date, the Board of Directors maintains its revenue
guidance of around EUR 520 million.


This is an English translation of the German original. In the event of any
doubt, the German version shall prevail.
