With a capacity of 111 MW produced by 37 N117/3000 turbines, the turnkey project “Gibson Bay” in South Africa is also one of the largest projects in the Company’s history. May 2015 Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, hitherto CCO of Nordex SE, replaced Dr. Jürgen Zeschky as Chief Executive Officer following the latter’s resignation at the end of the month. After his appointment in March 2012, Dr. Zeschky had successfully guided the Nordex Group through the turnaround and realigned it. September 2015 At “Husum Wind”, Nordex unveiled the N131/3300 turbine, a model specially designed for German inland locations. With a hub height of up to 164 metres, it achieves a reduction in the cost of energy. October 2015 The Nordex Group and Spanish infrastructure group Acciona announced an agreement on the acquisition of Corporación Acciona Windpower S.L. (AWP). With this merger, the Nordex Group will be increasing its activi- ties in growth and emerging markets and is seeking a position within the global top five onshore wind turbine sellers by 2018. December 2015 With the arrangement of a syndicated guarantee facility of EUR 950 mil- lion with 14 national and international banks, Nordex has secured its funding for the coming years. Following the completion of the AWP transaction, this facility can be increased to EUR 1.2 billion to finance continued growth. 2015 Nordex is one of the world’s leading producers of onshore wind power systems. Our guiding principle is to harness the wind intelligently. This we achieve by never ceasing in our search for new and better technical solutions. Look ing forward, we are seeking to produce electricity at market prices with our wind power systems. At the same time, we utilise the cost advan- tages which the inter national market offers us. Our skills include the development and production of wind turbines, project devel opment and the construction of turn-key wind farms as well as maintenance and service.

It was also a successful and eventful year for our company throughout. We installed more wind turbines than ever before, setting a new sales record at EUR 2.4 billion, and we paved the way for continued growth with the highest ever order intake at EUR 2.5 billion. Our profitability improved and the EBIT margin landed at 5.2%. This is satisfactory considering where Nordex has come from, although it has to be said that we are still some way from the mid-term profitability target that we have set for ourselves. Nordex typically generates two thirds of its sales in Europe. Against this backdrop, it was positive that we grew the European market share to 13%. Also, despite a drop in overall market volume in Germany, Nordex continued to increase its market share in the important home market to 12%. In early October 2015, we announced the acquisition of our Spanish competitor, Acciona Windpower (AWP), and were immediately pleased to see both the financial market and our customers react positively to the news. The AWP transaction marks a strategic milestone for Nordex. The deal transforms our company from a mid-sized player, with a primarily European footprint, into a truly global manufacturer, with scale to drive out costs and stem technology investments in an increasingly competitive industry, without defendable niches. Moreover, the two companies fit together excellently in terms of markets, technology and customers, and the new company will sport an exciting and broad product range spanning mature as well as high-growth emerging markets like Mexico, Brazil and India. The planning of the integration of Nordex and AWP has been going on since the deal was announced, and many employees from both companies have been involved. We are humble about the challenges that come with merging companies and cultures, but nevertheless feel comfortable that the new company will get off to a good start when the deal closes in April 2016. Not everything went well for Nordex in 2015. With high growth come challenges, and inefficiencies during product ramp-ups, as well as project delays, hurt our profitability. Furthermore, a manufac- turing fault in a batch of blades procured externally affected a number of projects across the globe. The elimination of the problem and partial exchange of affected blades triggered significant costs. In the future, we will focus even more on managing and assuring quality, and efforts towards coping better with the increased business volume, through process and system improvements, are being made. If we do our job well and reduce the number of “stumbling blocks”, this will be an important lever by which to increase profitability. 6 For our shareholders Letter to the shareholders Nordex constantly strives to reduce the cost of energy, i.e.

  • Corporate Non-Financial Reporting in Germany
    Copyright © Development International e.V., 2019 ISBN: 978-3-9820398-1-7 Authors: Chris N. Bayer, PhD Gisella Vogel Sarah Kaltenhäuser Katherine Storrs Jiahua (Java) Xu, PhD Juan Ignacio Ibañez, LL.M. Title: A New Responsibility for Sustainability: Corporate Non-Financial Reporting in Germany Date published: May 6, 2019 Funded by: iPoint-systems gmbh www.ipoint-systems.com Executive Summary Germany's economy is the fourth-largest in the world (by nominal GDP), and with 28% of the euro area market, it represents the largest economy in Europe.1 Considering the supply chains leading to its economy, Germany's cumulative environmental, social and governance performance reverberates globally. The EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) is the impetus behind this study – a new regulation that seeks to “increase the relevance, consistency and comparability of information disclosed by certain large undertakings and groups across the Union.”2 Large undertakings in EU member states are not only required to report on their financial basics, now they are also required by Article 1 of the Directive to account for their non- financial footprint, including adverse impacts they have on the environment and supply chains. In accordance with the Directive, the German transposition stipulates that the non-financial declaration must state which reporting framework was used to create it (or explain why no framework was applied), as well as apply non-financial key performance indicators relevant to the particular business. These requirements are our point of departure: We systematically assess the degree of non-financial transparency and performance reporting for 2017 applying an ex-post assessment framework premised on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the German Sustainability Code (Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex, DNK) and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).

  • Nordex Group Announces New N149/5.X Turbine
    PRESS RELEASE Entering the 5 MW class: Nordex Group announces new N149/5.X turbine Powerful addition to the Delta4000 series presented in 2017 Hamburg, 26 March 2019. The Nordex Group is extending its product portfolio with a multi-megawatt machine in the 5 MW class. After the N149/4.0-4.5 and the N133/4.8, the new N149/5.X is the third turbine type in the Delta4000 series. The N149/5.X is designed for moderate and light-wind areas and can also perform optimally at sites with complex requirements. Apart from the classic core markets in Europe, the target markets for the N149/5.X also cover global growth regions such as South Africa, Australia and South America. The N149/5.X is designed for maximum flexibility and can be operated in different modes in the 5 MW range depending on site requirements and customer needs. This enables customers to individually configure the wind farm in terms of the output, capacity and lifetime of the turbine, as well as with regard to sound requirements, and thus adapt it ideally to the company's respective business model. The N149/5.X is a logical progression based on the successful approach of a flexible power range in the N149/4.0-4.5. "Thanks to the proven technological basis of the Delta4000 product series we are in a position to continuously develop highly efficient solutions for different wind regimes and different geographical regions and to ensure short lead times for product launches. We have designed the N149/5.X with its maximum flexibility and efficiency to exactly meet the needs of our customers," says José Luis Blanco, CEO Nordex Group.

This implies that organized equity markets are, in some sense, underdeveloped. The purpose of this paper is, first, to describe the German equity markets and, second, to analyze whether it is underdevel- oped in any meaningful sense. In the descriptive part we provide a detailed account of the microstructure of the German equity markets, putting special emphasis on recent develop- ments. When comparing the German market with its peers, we find that it is indeed underdeveloped with respect to market capitalization. In terms of liquidity, on the other hand, the German equity market is not generally underdeveloped. It does, however, lack a liquid market for block trading.

The continuously increasing specific engine performances over the last few years are leading to an increased thermal load on the lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil is also becoming more heavily con- taminated due to reduced lubricating oil consumption and longer lubricating oil change in- tervals. For this reason, it is necessary to observe the requirements and recommendations in this Technical Bulletin in order not to reduce the life of the engine.
