3-month report

Subtitle: • EBIT in first quarter improved to 10.2 million Euros (previous year: 7.2 million Euros) • Profit per share increased to 0.21 Euros (previous year: 0.12 Euro)

Cuxhaven (euro adhoc) - 3rd May 2010 - The wind farm developer PNE WIND AG has successfully completed the first quarter of the 2010 business year, in particular as a result of the acquisition of all shares in the offshore "Gode Wind I" wind farm project. The company achieved an operating profit (EBIT), the crucial key figure for a wind farm developer, of 10.2 million Euros in comparison with 7.2 million Euros in the same period of the previous year. As a result, PNE WIND AG generated a pre-tax income (EBT) of 9.3 million Euros and was able to considerably exceed the previous year´s profit of 5.3 million Euros. The corporation´s profit as of 31st March 2010 was about 9.3 million Euros (previous year: 5.2 million Euros). This corresponds to an undiluted profit per share of 0.21 Euros (previous year: 0.12 Euros). The total operating performance in the first quarter of 2010 was 28.6 million Euros. The downturn in comparison with the previous year of 88.9 million Euros is the result of the record number of onshore wind farms, which were put into operation in the previous year supported by the EEC amendment at that time.

The positive profit development in the first quarter of 2010 was essentially made possible by advances in the offshore segment. In February 2010, PNE WIND AG acquired all shares of the offshore "Gode Wind I" wind farm project. In the course of consolidating the project corporation, special operational profit of 11.2 million Euros was recorded, which is reflected in the consolidated profit and in an increase of intangible assets. This results from the difference between the low-cost acquisition of the shares and the actual value of the project right.

Martin Billhardt, chairman of PNE WIND AG, is upbeat about the interim balance sheet of the first quarter. "We have made a successful start to 2010. We have achieved important advances in the offshore sector. In addition we have worked intensively on the realisation of the projects we sold to EnBW in December 2009 and increased our project-pipeline in Germany and abroad." In view of the business development, the chairman substantiates the published prognosis, "that the cumulative EBIT of PNE WIND AG between 2010 and 2012 will be at least 42 to 54 million Euros," explains Martin Billhardt.

The report published today about the first quarter of 2010 provides an extensive overview of the business results of PNE WIND AG. It can be found at www.pnewind.com in the Investor Relations section.
