Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 7 March 2008. The REpower Systems
Group (WKN 617703) achieved its all-time highest operating result in
the 2007 fiscal year: according to preliminary figures, EBIT was more
than double that of the previous year (EUR 12.2 million) at EUR 28.2
million. Sales and total operating revenue rose by 48.2% and 46.9%
respectively to EUR 680.2 million and to EUR 678.2 million
respectively (previous year: EUR 458.8 million and EUR 461.5 million
respectively). Net earnings (earnings after tax) tripled from EUR 7.1
million to EUR 21.1 million. With a volume of EUR 1.3 billion, the
order backlog at 31 December 2007 was almost 50% above the value on
the previous year?s balance sheet date. Due to the high order backlog
and the excellent outlook, REpower has raised its forecast for the
2008/2009 fiscal year.

In 2007, REpower installed or delivered 332 wind turbines with a
total generating capacity of 652.0 megawatt. During the previous
year, it was 263 turbines with a total output of 492.0 megawatt.

Consolidated sales rose significantly in 2007 by 48.2% from EUR 458.8
million to EUR 680.2 million, while total operating revenue increased
by 46.9% from EUR 461.5 million to EUR 678.2 million. At EUR 28.2
million, EBIT improved at a disproportionate rate and was 131.5%
above the previous year?s value of EUR 12.2 million. Following
deductions for interest and tax, the profit for the year was EUR 21.1
million as against EUR 7.1 million in 2006.

The order backlog was again at a record high at the balance sheet
date: as at 31 December 2007, it included 636 wind turbines (previous
year: 478 turbines) with a total output of 1,297.5 megawatt (previous
year: 933.0 megawatt) and a potential sales volume of almost EUR 1.3
billion (previous year: EUR 842.8 million).

By resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 17 October
2007, REpower Systems AG?s fiscal year will in future end on 31
March. REpower has raised its forecasts for the new 2008/2009 fiscal
year: "The sustainable improvement of our cost structures and
processes will lead to a further rise in our earnings power," said
REpower CFO Pieter Wasmuth. "We have significantly improved our
economic situation in recent months and therefore expect an increase
in sales during the 2008/2009 fiscal year to EUR 1.1 billion and an
EBIT margin of between 5.5% and 6.5%," Per Hornung Pedersen, CEO of
REpower Systems AG, added.
