Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 06 March 2007. In the 2006 financial
year, REpower Systems AG (WKN 617703) has achieved a significantly
positive operating result: With EUR 12.2 million, the operating
result (EBIT) is significantly above the figure of the previous year
of minus EUR 4.3 million. This contributes considerably to the
successful implementation of the restructuring programme "RE-Act"
initiated in 2005 as well as to the increased revenues.

The company achieved total operating performance of EUR 461.5 million
(previous year: EUR 335.1 million). The earnings after tax improved
from minus EUR 6.8 million to EUR 7.1 million.

In 2006, REpower delivered or installed 263 wind energy turbines with
a total capacity of 492.0 MW, compared to 201 turbines with a total
installed capacity of 366.0 MW in 2005. Related to the installed
capacity, this corresponds to an increase by 34.4 per cent.

The order backlog augmented significantly during the course of the
year: per 31 December 2006, it contained 478 turbines (PY: 350
turbines) with a total operating performance of 933.0 MW (PY: 666.0
MW) and a potential sales volume of around EUR 842.8 million (PY: EUR
541.2 million). The entire consolidated accounts are expected to be
presented on 21st March during REpower’s annual press conference.

Moreover, REpower maintained its position as second best manufacturer
in the annual service survey conducted by the Federal Wind Energy
Association (BWE), in spite of a declining overall satisfaction of
the operators. REpower got an average mark of 2.69 (where 1 is the
best mark) behind the competitor Enercon who continues to be first.
Fuhrländer is ranked no. 3 (mark: 3.26). The survey was conducted
among the 2,034 operators registered in the Federal Wind Energy
Association.
