End of the ad hoc release.

"The strong fourth quarter exceeded our own expectations. Throughout the year, we had to deal with many uncertainties and restrictions in the implementation of customer projects due to the COVID 19 pandemic," says Alfred Schopf, Co-Chairman of the PVA TePla Group. "We have been very focused in working with our customers and both sides have shown maximum flexibility. This has now paid off and we were able to achieve an excellent full-year result. We are equally pleased with the good order intake we achieved under these difficult conditions. For this, we would like to express our gratitude to our customers and employees.

"Manfred Bender, who has been Co-CEO of the PVA TePla Group since January 2021, adds: "Our project pipeline looks very promising. The ever-increasing and now even faster pace of digitalisation inevitably leads to capacity expansions for manufacturers of semiconductor components. With our unique technology, we are very well positioned as a system supplier to participate in this growth.
