Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, August 12, 2011. The REpower Systems
Group (WKN 617703) increased its sales by approx. 23% to EUR 262.5
million (previous year: EUR 213.1 million) in the first quarter of
the 2011/12 fiscal year (April 1 to June 30, 2011). Total
performance grew by nearly 22% from EUR 204.0 million to EUR
248.3 million. EBIT was EUR 10.0 million (Q1 2010/11: EUR 1.5
million) in the period under review. After offsetting interest
and other financing income and expenses, earnings before tax
amounted to EUR 7.6 million (Q1 2010/11: EUR 3.2 million). In the
period under review, REpower generated net earnings of EUR 4.2
million, following EUR 1.8 million in Q1 2010/11.

In the first three months of the 2011/12 fiscal year, REpower
Systems SE installed or supplied wind turbines with a total
capacity of 195 megawatts (MW). This represents an increase of
about 15% compared with the first quarter of 2010/11 (169 MW). A
large part of the capacity is attributed to the Ormonde project,
off the British coast. Construction of the 30 turbines was
completed in early August, three weeks ahead of schedule. Andreas
Nauen, CEO of REpower Systems SE, is pleased with the progress:
"Ormonde has helped us show the market that we are able to
accomplish large offshore projects."

from EUR 323 million in the first quarter of 2010/11. Contractually
secured order volume as at June 30, 2011 was approx. EUR 2.61
billion. This represents an increase of about 8% compared with
the previous year´s reporting date (EUR 2.42 billion).

REpower confirms its forecast for significant sales and earnings
growth in the 2011/12 fiscal year.
