3W Power/AEG Power Solutions Announces Preliminary Results and Revised Timing on Publication of Its Annual Report

3W Power SA (Prime Standard, ISIN GG00B39QCR01, 3W9), the holding company of AEG Power Solutions B.V. (AEG PS), a leading global provider of power electronics systems and solutions for industrial power supplies and renewable energy, today announced preliminary unaudited results for the year ending December 31, 2012 and revised timing for the publication of its 2012 annual report.

Preliminary Group results for fiscal 2012

AEG Power Solutions finished fiscal 2012 with €371.3 million of orders, €368.0 million of revenue, and €27.0 million Normalized EBITDA (a 7.3% Normalized EBITDA margin). Normalized EBITDA fell short of the Company’s guidance following management’s decision to increase its allowance for doubtful receivables. Without the provision, the Normalized EBITDA margin would have been 9.1%. For 2012, AEG Power Solutions posted a net loss of €177.9 million, which includes €175.3 million of pre-tax goodwill impairment and accelerated amortization charges. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a cash position of €42.9 million and net debt of €66.7 million.

Publication of 2012 Annual Report

The Board of Directors and management of AEG Power Solutions will be finalizing and publishing the Company’s annual report within two weeks instead of tomorrow (March 21, 2012) as previously announced. Additional time is needed to prepare the Outlook and Risk Factors sections of the annual report given payment delays from a European customer which have been exacerbated by the current banking situation in Cyprus. As of December 31, 2012 this customer, who centralizes its procurement through a Cyprus subsidiary, represented 37.5% of AEG Power Solutions’ €124.5 million receivables. The customer’s past due amounts as of December 31, 2012 have been fully reserved for. Given the size of the customer’s receivables, failure to collect a material amount owed from the customer could present significant financial difficulty for the Company. However, the Company at present fully expects to collect on the outstanding amounts due and to continue its strong business relationship with this customer.
