SFC Energy, the German fuel-cell specialist, has announced an impressive increase in profit and revenue for the first half of the year. The company's shares have gained momentum, as its success can be attributed to robust sales growth in both Asia and North America.

Financial Performance

During the first half of the year, SFC Energy reported group sales of 57.05 million euros ($62.2 million), a significant jump from 38.16 million euros in the previous year.

This projection indicates that SFC Energy will reach the upper half of its previous forecast of 103 million euros to 111 million euros. Furthermore, the company expects adjusted EBITDA to range from 10.5 million euros to 14.1 million euros, up from the previous estimate of 8.9 million euros to 14.1 million euros.
