Methodology
The PPP universe comprises the public companies in the Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) database
classified as deriving 50% to 100% of their total value from clean energy as of April 2013. Public investment funds
and acquisition vehicles are excluded. Companies participating in carbon markets activities are also excluded.
Company revenue and market cap data is drawn from their fiscal year 2012 annual reports and S&P Capital IQ.
Market cap figures were recorded as on 29 April 2013.
The financial results of companies that report in non-US currencies were converted to US dollars using the
exchange rate that was obtained (via oanda.com) at the end of their respective fiscal years.

The number of German companies in the
PPP universe continues to fall, with the
solar sector accounting for 27% (6/22)
of eliminations.
Overall market cap growth of 5% belies
the fact that one new entrant this year
accounted for 24.4% of total market
cap. Excluding this company, Germany
registered a 20.4% market cap decline.
The slump in solar is further evidenced
by the 25% decline since 2011 (10.5% yo-y) in the overall revenues. The solar
segment, which makes up for more than
50% of the overall revenues, fell 23%
this year.
