BUSINESS NEWS
Solmax Germany Declare Involvement in Antitrust Investigation and Projected Revenues are Significantly Down
For the 2024 fiscal year, Solmax Germany expect revenue of EUR 71 million, significantly lower than the previous year of EUR 85.6 million, due to a decline in both direct business and the installation business. Due to a significant increase in absolute costs and general cost increases, Solmax Germany expect a net loss of EUR 1.4 million.
For the 2025 fiscal year, Solmax Germany expect revenue of approximately EUR 57 million, significantly lower than the previous year. However, due to rising margins, which also offset general cost increases, Solmax Germany expect a break-even to slightly positive annual result.
