PVA TePla falls after 'mixed' set of Q3 results
** Shares in PVA TePla AG TPEG.DE fall nearly 7% after the German semiconductor equipment maker reported its nine-month results
** Revenue rose 12% year-on-year to €62.7 million in the quarter, and was up 4% at €181.8 million for the January-September period
** EBITDA improved quarter-on-quarter but declined on a nine-month basis to €10.4 million from €18.7 million in the prior year
** January-September EBITDA margin deteriorated to 5.7% from 10.7% a year ago
** A local trader says the results reflected project delays, weak semiconductor investment and low capacity utilisation

** The company expects full-year revenue of €255-275 million, broadly in line with analysts' estimates of €267.4 million
** Full-year EBITDA guidance confirmed at €26-31 million implies a significantly stronger fourth quarter, the trader also says
