In addition, the Company announces that cash generation during the quarter has been strong and its net debt position has improved considerably. While the Company plans to continue investing during Q4 and early 2017 in capital expenditure to increase consumables capacity in Germany and to replace equipment in the USA, it now expects to be cash positive within the next 12 months.
