Wacker Polysilicon increased sales by 5% to €262m ($296m) in the final three months of last year, from the corresponding quarter of 2013, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) jumped 25%, pushed higher by an improvement in the prices for solar silicon, which is the base material for PV panels.
To meet strong and sustained customer demand, the business division continued to run production facilities at full capacity in the final quarter.
