Mattighofen, January 24th, 2008 - KTM Power Sports AG, one of the
world-wide leading manufacturers of Off-Road and On-Road motorcycle,
ATVs and the sports car X-Bow, started full throttle into the
business year 2007/08. During the first quarter of business year
2007/08, revenue increased by 15.3% to 149.4 million EUR and EBIT
rose by 64.7% to 18.9 million EUR compared to last year. The profit
per share doubled to reach 2.18 EUR.

Growth driver The growth in revenue has been significantly influenced
by increased sales in the Enduro Racing segment, higher revenues from
Related Products (Spare Parts, Power Wear and Power Parts), as well
as increased sales of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) engines.

Expansion of Model range In the first quarter of business year
2007/08, KTM launched its first Superbike the 1190 RC8 at the
international motorcycle show EICMA in Milan. The response exceeded
the expectations. Furthermore, the Dual-Sport segment has been
broadened by a 690cc Enduro, the Supermoto segment by a 690cc and a
990 cc model.

WP on its own For strategic reasons, KTM sold the WP group to CROSS
Automotive GmbH. Being independent from KTM should allow the WP group
in the future to fully explore its potential, the third party
business with suspension elements. The KTM group shall continue to
use WP suspension components on its products.

Outlook Due to the expansion of the product range in the Off-Road and
street segments, further increase in sales is also expected in the
current business year. The growing demand for OEM engines and Related
Products shall also contribute to a successful business year. The
assembly plant for the X-Bow in Graz will be ready to be moved into
this Spring and the first vehicles shall be delivered this very
business year. Due to the continuously weak USD, the margin situation
will worsen. Price adjustments and a selective product policy in
North America shall partially compensate the negative exchange rate
influences. ++++
