Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, June 7, 2011. The REpower Systems
Group (WKN 617703) achieved total performance of EUR 1.28 billion
(previous year: EUR 1.33 billion) in the 2010/11 fiscal year (April
1, 2010 to March 31, 2011). Revenues dropped from EUR 1.30 billion to
EUR 1.22 billion. At EUR 86.0 million, EBIT was down 12.5% on the
previous year (EUR 98.3 million). The EBIT margin shrank accordingly
from 7.4% to 6.7%. After financing expenses and income, earnings
before tax for the 2010/11 fiscal year amounted to EUR 80.9 million
(previous year: EUR 83.9 million). Net income for the year, at EUR
55.6 million, was only slightly down on the previous year´s level of
EUR 57.9 million.

Overall, the 2010/11 fiscal year went satisfactory for REpower
Systems AG. Installed or supplied output amounted to 851 megawatts
(previous year: 863 megawatts), of which more than 77% was destined
for export. Incoming orders in the period under review came to 1,252
megawatts, which equates to a volume of EUR 1.36 billion.

Derrick Noe, CFO of REpower Systems AG, on the results: "Against the
background of increasing competition and persistent project delays,
we are satisfied with the results we have achieved. We have achieved
the targets, which were revised in December, and are continuing to
generate respectable revenues and income."

Shareholders are also to participate in the earnings development:
accordingly, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will propose
to the Annual General Meeting, which is likely to take place on
August 30, 2011, that a dividend of EUR 1.50 (previous year: EUR
1.57) is resolved for the 2010/11 fiscal year.

The company is planning to boost its activities overseas and, in the
process, is focusing on a strong sales organization.

An initial measure to improve efficiency is the production of REpower
2 megawatts series wind turbines at a site in Padubidri, India. The
60 hertz versions of the MM wind turbines produced there are to be
exported to Australia and North America. "We are consequently
reacting to the cost pressures in an extremely competitive
environment," said Andreas Nauen.

Today, the Executive Board of REpower Systems AG will present the
results of the 2010/11 fiscal year at a press and analyst conference
in Frankfurt am Main (Germany). For journalists and analysts, who
cannot participate in the event in person, a conference call will
take place today at 1.30 p.m. (CEST). The dial-in number is +49 (0)69
24750 1899.
