Financial Highlights

In 2009, LDK group dynamically responded to the severe effects of the global -and local- markets' crisis, principally through a considerable growth of its international sales, which account for 61% of total revenues, compared to 2008 (47%). This fact supported LDK's overall sales (which increased by 9%) and provided strong confidence to the group's stakeholders in a period of high market uncertainty. Moreover, the evolution of LDK's capital structure indicates the group's financial robustness, as the Debt to Equity ration has further ameliorated, reaching 0.65 by December 31st, 2009, while both the backlog of signed contracts and the sales per consultant ratios have risen in financial year 2009 by 4% and 5%, respectively.
