Mattighofen, February 15, 2012

Inrease in turnover to 526.8 million EUR (+13.4% compared to previous
year); sales 81,200 motorcycles (+22.4% compared to previous year)

Despite a declining market for motorcycles in Europe and the USA by
approximately 5%, KTM managed to increase turnover to 526.8 million
EUR (+13.4% compared to previous year) and sales to 81,200
motorcycles (+22.4% compared to previous year) in fiscal year 2011.

"The successful launch of the Duke 125 and the new Enduro Competition
generation were crucial for these increases. KTM´s market share in
Europe increased by 30% from 4.9% to 6.3% compared to previous year.
Hence, KTM is the most successful brand and outpaced its competitors
clearly", explains Stefan Pierer, Chairman of the Executive Board of
KTM Power Sports AG.

Considerable increase in results and strengthening of financial
capacity

In fiscal year 2011 KTM achieved an EBIT of 31.0 million EUR. The net
profit increased considerably by 30.2% to 20.7 million EUR compared
to the same period in 2010.

As of December 31, 2011 the equity amounted to 219.8 million EUR, the
equity ratio increased from 39.7% to 45.2%.

With a gearing ratio of 56.9% as of December 31, 2011 the financial
stability of KTM could be further strengthened.

Outlook

Forecasts show a slightly declining respectively stagnating
development of the European and American markets in 2012. Therefore
KTM set another important step by implementing a global product
strategy and expanding into emerging markets.

On January 24, 2012 the Duke 200 was presented to the public in New
Delhi for the first time. With his model KTM - in cooperation with
Bajaj - enters the Indian market for the first time and expects sales
of more than 20,000 motorcycles. The Duke 200 is the first KTM-model
that is available worldwide.

For 2012 KTM expects further increases both in turnover and sales.
