finances/Half year report 2009
Cuxhaven, August 10, 2009 - The wind farm
project planning company PNE WIND AG further expanded its strong 
operating position in the international wind market in the first half
of 2009. Eight wind farms with a total nominal output of about 120 MW
were set up by the company. 56 wind power turbines were installed at 
these sites. The success of these projects is also reflected in the 
operating results of the first half of 2009.
In the first six months of the current fiscal year, PNE WIND AG 
generated a total aggregate output of approximately EUR 94.7 million,
which corresponds to a plus of 41.7 % compared to EUR 66.8 million in
the previous year. The operating profit (EBIT), the decisive figure 
for a wind farm project planning company, amounted to EUR 8.0 million
(previous year: EUR 25.9 million). The fact that the EBIT of the 
previous year were influenced positively by an amount of EUR 26 
million resulting from the sale of the shares in the Danish rotor 
blade manufacturer SSP Technology A/S is to be taken into account. 
Earnings before taxes totalled EUR 5.7 million in the first half of 
2009 following EUR 24.4 million in the previous year. The 
consolidated profit before non-controlling interests amounted to 
about EUR 4.9 million as at June 30, 2009 (previous year: EUR 21.7 
million). Accordingly, the earnings per share were EUR 0.12 
(undiluted).
Martin Billhardt, the Chairman of PNE WIND AG's Board of Management 
strikes a positive semi-annual balance: "We attained our operating 
objectives. Eight wind farms in six months - this figure emphasizes 
our strong position in the market. The revised Renewable Energies Law
(EEG) gave us a further tail wind in this respect." In addition, the 
Chairman outlines the progress made in the electricity generation 
segment and in respect of international expansion: "PNE WIND AG will 
operate the Altenbruch II wind farm as the owner and strengthen 
significantly its position as an independent power producer. At the 
same time, we have taken the first step towards opening up a further,
highly promising market of the future by establishing a joint venture
company in Canada. However, we regret having to find a new partner 
for the Gode Wind I project, since the former partner, the Dutch 
group Econcern, went bankrupt in the second quarter."
The successful development of the first half of 2009 has been 
confirmed by the permit for the "Gode Wind II" offshore wind farm 
after the end of the reporting period. Now, PNE WIND AG is the only 
project planning company that has obtained a permit for three 
offshore wind farms in German waters. CEO Martin Billhardt regards 
this as proof of the unequalled expertise of the company: "Our 
project pipeline includes a total of seven offshore wind farms off 
the coast of Germany with a total volume of 2,416 MW, of which 1,077 
MW have already been approved. We are thus is an excellent position 
to benefit in the long term from future increasing significance of 
offshore wind power."
Corporate profile
PNE WIND AG with its headquarters in Cuxhaven plans and implements 
wind-farm projects on land (onshore) and at high sea (offshore). The 
central competence is the development, projecting, implementation and
financing of wind-farms as well as their operation or sale with 
subsequent service. Up to now, the company has built 92 wind-farms 
with 535 wind-energy systems and a total nominal output of 770 MW.
Alongside the business activity on the established German home 
market, PNE WIND AG is increasingly expanding into dynamic growth 
markets and is already represented by joint ventures in Hungary, 
Bulgaria, Turkey, Great Britain, Ireland, Romania and Canada. In 
these countries, wind-farm projects with a nominal output of up to 
1,800 MW are being processed and are to be implemented in the medium 
term. In addition, a subsidiary has been founded in the USA. In 
Germany (onshore), wind-farm projects with more than 300 MW of 
nominal output are in the processing phase.
In addition, PNE WIND AG develops offshore wind-farm projects, of 
which three major ones in German waters have already been approved. 
Entry into promising foreign markets is also being examined for this 
offshore area.
