Mattighofen, November 12th 2007 - KTM Power Sports AG, one of the world-wide
leading manufacturers of Off-Road and On-road motorcycles, ATVs and the sports
car X-Bow, improved its revenue, profit and sales in the fiscal year 2006/07.

Highest revenue in the corporate history
The KTM group revenue increased by 14.0% from 496.8 Mio. EUR to 566.1 Mio. EUR
compared to last year. The EBIT increased by 16.9% to 39.8 Mio. EUR compared to
last year. The change in the representation of sponsor revenues and fees
occurred in the fiscal year 2006/07. For reasons of comparison, the figures of
fiscal year 2005/06 have been adjusted.

Besides the sustained high demand for Off-Road Competition models, this victory
attributes to the successful launch of new street models (690 Supermoto, 990
Super Duke R, 950 Supermoto R), the increase in sales of Related Products and
the growing OEM engines business.

The EBIT improved by 16.9% from 34.0 Mio. EUR to 39.8 Mio. EUR and a 3.57 EUR
profit per share was achieved, an increase of 23,1% compared to last year.

9.3% more employees compared to last year
On average, KTM employed during the last fiscal year 1,778 people (1,931 as of
closing date), 449 of which are employed abroad.

Outlook
KTM is on the gas driving into the current fiscal year. The main focus lies on
the development of new innovative products and the start of the X-Bow´s serial
production. Furthermore, the expansion of capacities within the two-wheel and
four-wheel segments has been initiated in order to be able to also warrant
lasting growth in the future. For fiscal year 2007/08, another two-digit
increase in revenue is expected. Also in the last fiscal year, the main single
risk factor for the KTM group remains the foreign exchange rate, since the
US-Dollar business has not been hedged yet.
