decline in turnover
Order volume increases by 61.3% to EUR 2.58 billion
Today’s Annual General Meeting to resolve dividend payment of EUR 1.57 per share
and transformation of corporate form from an AG into an SE
Hamburg, October 25, 2010. In the first half
of fiscal year 2010/11 (1 April - 30 September 2010) REpower Systems 
AG (Prime Standard, WKN 617703) generated a total performance of EUR 
515.2 million and recorded a turnover of EUR 499.0 million according 
to provisional calculations. These figures correspond to a decline of
around 16.5 and 18.2% respectively compared to the same period of the
previous year (total performance: 617.0, turnover: 609.7). In 
contrast, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved from EUR
31.3 million to EUR 34.3 million. The order volume also developed 
positively rising by 61.3% to EUR 2.58 billion. During today´s Annual
General Meeting, the shareholders are, among other things, to vote on
a dividend payment of EUR 1.57 per share and on the transformation of
REpower to a European Company (Societas Europaea, SE).
Within the reporting period from 1 April to 30 September 2010, group 
turnover amounted to EUR 499.0 million (previous year: EUR 609.7 
million). Total performance decreased from EUR 617.0 million to EUR 
515.2 million. In contrast, earnings before interest and taxes 
developed positively and recorded an increase by 9.6% from EUR 31.3 
million in the first half of fiscal year 2009/10 to currently EUR 
34.4 million.
At the end of September 2010, the order backlog shows a contractually
assured order volume of EUR 2.58 billion compared to EUR 1.6 billion 
at the previous year´s record date. This corresponds to an increase 
by 61.3%. Accordingly, the order backlog increased from 1,307 MW (592
wind turbines) to 2,254 MW (864 wind turbines). The figures only 
contain delivery quantities that have been ordered obligatory within 
the framework of project contracts as well as release orders from 
framework agreements.
Today, the Annual General Meeting of REpower Systems AG takes place 
in Hamburg. Among other things, the payment of a dividend amounting 
to EUR 1.57 per share for the past fiscal year 2009/10 as well as the
transformation of the corporate form - from a German 
Aktiengesellschaft (AG) into a European Company (Societas Europaea, 
SE) - are due for approval.
The publication of the final half year results and the complete six 
months´ report will presumably take place on November 12, 2010.
