Group sales KTM Power Sports AG: EUR 235.4 million, +65% (KTM Group
GmbH: +11%)
Group sales of KTM Power Sports AG increased by 65 % to EUR 235.4
million in comparison with 1st half year of the previous year
(thereof due to full consolidation +54 %; KTM Group GmbH: +11%). The
increase in sales of the KTM Group was mainly caused by a more
appealing product mix, by the development of the USD and by
successful new product introductions. The backlog of the delayed
deliveries to North America (as a result of hurricane Katrina) could
be made up in full amount in the second quarter of the business year
2005/06.
Gross margin KTM Power Sports AG: EUR 81.4 million, +78% (KTM Group
GmbH: +17%)
Gross margin rose by 78% to 81.4 million EUR (thereof due to full
consolidation +61%; KTM Group GmbH +17% versus previous year). In
addition to the increase in sales in comparison with the previous
year, lower production costs and a better product mix mainly
contributed to this effect.
EBIT KTM Power Sports AG: EUR 18.1 million, +93 % (KTM Group GmbH:
+12 %)
In spite of the increase of the future oriented expenses for motor
sports, sales and development, the operating income increased in the
first half of the business year 2005/06 by 93% to 18.1 million EUR
(thereof due to full consolidation +82%; KTM Group GmbH +12%).
Positive outlook
After the successful introduction of the onroad model 990 Adventure
(Travel Enduro) and further new product introductions (950 Super
Enduro R, Offroad Competition), a double-digit (in %) increase of the
sales revenues is expected to be achieved in the second half of the
business year 2005/06.

Sports AG’s results are only affected by its participation in the KTM
Group GmbH.
