Subtitle: Total performance increases to EUR 617.0 million
EBIT rise by over 38% to EUR 31.3 million
Order of nine MM92 for project in Austria

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 12 November 2009. In the first half
of fiscal year 2009/10 REpower Systems AG (WKN 617 703) realized
total performance of EUR 617.0 million compared to EUR 531.1 million
in the same period of the previous year. Sales increased year-on-year
from EUR 529.8 million to now EUR 609.7 million. Earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) for the period from April to September 2009
stood at EUR 31.3 million compared to EUR 22.7 million in the
previous year. Net profit increased from EUR 14.4 million as per end
of September 2008 to now EUR 17.5 million.

In the first half of fiscal year 2009/10 REpower Systems AG installed
and recognized in income 185 wind energy turbines with a total rated
power of 386.15 megawatts (MW) (corresponding period of the previous
year: 256 wind turbines with 530 MW). The order backlog amounted to
592 wind turbines (30 September 2008: 683 turbines) with a total
rated power of 1,306.8 MW (30 September 2008: 1,434.6 megawatts).
This corresponds to a contractually confirmed order volume of around
EUR 1.6 billion (30 September 2008: EUR 1.5 billion).

Furthermore, REpower Systems AG closed contract about the supply and
installation of nine REpower MM92 wind turbines with an option on
further 18 turbines, for a project in Austria. In addition, the
company agreed upon a comprehensive service contract for a period of
15 years with the customer. Per Hornung Pedersen, CEO of REpower
Systems AG: "We are happy about the project in Austria and hope to
expand our market position there, in the future."

Most recently, REpower had held out the prospect of a sales volume of
EUR 1.4 billion as well as an EBIT margin of 7.5% for the entire
fiscal year 2009/10. The executive board is keeping to these targets
but emphasizes that uncertainty with regard to the achievement of
these objectives has risen strongly due to an increasing amount of
project postponements on the customer side in the second quarter.
Furthermore, the expected recovery of the US wind market, which was
anticipated by the market participants in the course of 2009, up to
now failed to materialize.

A conference call for analysts and journalists will take place on
12 November 2009 at 11 a.m. (CET).

The dial-in number is +49 (0)69 247 501 899.

The conference call will be held in English. The conference call
recording can be downloaded afterwards from our website
