Mattighofen, Dec. 18th, 2009

Earnings Development After the toughest fiscal year in the company´s 
history (2008/09), the KTM Group is back in the black and achieved 
preliminary consolidated revenues in the amount of EUR 110.7 m (-16% 
compared to the previous year) and an EBIT of EUR 6.1 m (+36% 
compared to the previous year) in the first quarter of 2009/10. The 
net profit increased by EUR 31.5 m from EUR -27.9 m in the previous 
year to EUR 3.6 m.

KTM has developed favourably in the - still declining - motorcycle 
market compared to the current market trend and was able to gain 
market shares. In total, 17,056 motorcycles (-15% compared to the 
previous year) were sold in the first quarter of 2009/10. Both KTM as
well dealer inventory levels could be decreased by more than a third.

Due to a positive free cash flow, net indebtedness could be reduced 
from EUR 243.4 m to EUR 228.5 m in the first quarter.

Sustainable effects of restructuring measures KTM´s CEO Stefan Pierer
stated the following: "The restructuring measures, which had to be 
implemented in the previous year, have already shown sustainable 
effects. For example, total costs could be reduced by more than 30% 
in the first quarter compared to the previous year - we are, thus, 
able to make profits again, even if the sales volume is lower."
