Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, August 12, 2011. The REpower Systems Group (WKN
617703) increased its
sales by approx. 23% to EUR 262.5 million (previous year: EUR 213.1 million) in
the first quarter of the 2011/12 fiscal year (April 1 to June 30, 2011). Total
performance grew by nearly 22% from EUR 204.0 million to EUR 248.3 million.
EBIT was EUR 10.0 million (Q1 2010/11: EUR 1.5 million) in the period under
review. After offsetting interest and other financing income and expenses,
earnings before tax amounted to EUR 7.6 million (Q1 2010/11: EUR 3.2 million).
In the period under review, REpower generated net earnings of EUR 4.2 million,
following EUR 1.8 million in Q1 2010/11.
In the first three months of the 2011/12 fiscal year, REpower Systems SE
installed or supplied wind turbines with a total capacity of 195 megawatts
(MW). This represents an increase of about 15% compared with the first quarter
of 2010/11 (169 MW). A large part of the capacity is attributed to the Ormonde
project, off the British coast. Construction of the 30 turbines was completed
in early August, three weeks ahead of schedule. Andreas Nauen, CEO of REpower
Systems SE, is pleased with the progress: "Ormonde has helped us show the
market that we are able to accomplish large offshore projects."
Incoming orders in the period under review were EUR 218 million, down from EUR
323 million in the first quarter of 2010/11. Contractually secured order volume
as at June 30, 2011 was approx. EUR 2.61 billion. This represents an increase
of about 8% compared with the previous year´s reporting date (EUR 2.42
billion).
REpower confirms its forecast for significant sales and earnings growth in the
2011/12 fiscal year.
