Vestas Wind Systems, Interim financial statement for 1 half year 2005 (1 January - 30 June 2005)

Vestas' sales and production activities are in general very high in 2005 which leads to a significant growth in turnover, but profit development is under pressure by the delivery situation at sub-suppliers and execution of large projects. Based on the positive market development and a satisfactory order backlog at the end of 1 half year 2005, Vestas upgrades the expectations for 2005 to a turnover level for the full year of mEUR 3.2-3.4 from previous mEUR 3.0-3.2.
