Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg/Frankfurt, 31 March 2008. For the
short fiscal year 2008 (from 1 January to 31 March 2008), the REpower
Systems Group (WKN 617703) expects a more or less balanced operating
result. At the presentation of the annual results in Frankfurt a. M.
today, the company is presenting its final figures for fiscal year
2007.

REpower posted a strong improvement across all important figures.
EBIT at EUR 28.2 million was more than twice the level of the
previous year (EUR 12.2 million), sales and total operating
performance moved up by 48.2% and 46.9% to EUR 680.2 million and EUR
678.2 million respectively (previous year: EUR 458.8 million and EUR
461.5 million), while net profit after taxes tripled from EUR 7.1
million to EUR 21.1 million.

For the new fiscal year 2008/09, which starts on 1 April 2008,
REpower plans investments totalling some EUR 86 million. Nearly EUR
60 million of this is for the expansion and construction of
production and administration buildings, including tooling like
moulds for rotor blades. As a result of the investment program,
REpower will more than double its annual production capacity from its
current level of 1,300 MW within the next two years.

For 2008/09, REpower recently increases its sales guidance to EUR 1.1
billion and forecasts an EBIT margin between 5.5% and 6.5%. Planning
for the fiscal year 2009/10 is for sales growth between 40% and 50%,
which is generated together with an increase in the EBIT margin.
