Revenues, orders and earnings situation
Revenues and EBIT once again at all-time high. In 2007, the Rosenbauer Group
once again outdid the record revenue and result figures it had achieved the
year before. Group revenues rose last year to EUR 426.1 Mio (2006: EUR 372.0
Mio), breaking all previous records.
The operating result (EBIT) rose by 23% to EUR 30.8 Mio (2006: EUR 25.1 Mio),

while improving the EBIT margin from 6.8% to 7.2%. The main
contributors to the 2007 result were the export successes scored by
Rosenbauer International AG, the strong growth in the Group's US
business over the past few years, and the overseas shipments made by
its Spanish subsidiary. Orders. At EUR 458.7 Mio (2006: EUR 485.9
Mio), Group order intake in 2007 was slightly below the level reached
the year before, but was a very satisfactory figure nonetheless. The
result is a continuation of the high levels of capacity utilization
at the Group's production facilities. Thanks to the buoyant order
intake trend in the final quarter of the year, the volume of order
backlog at year-end 2007 reached a new record level of EUR 375.4
Mio (2006: EUR 354.1 Mio). Outlook Capacity utilization at the
Rosenbauer Group's production plants has been constantly on the rise
in recent years. Owing to the high volume of orders - especially in
international export business - there are plans to enlarge the
production facilities at the Leonding site yet again. Scheduled for
completion by 2009, this expansion programme will entail an
investment volume of EUR 4.5 Mio. Capacity is also set to be enlarged
again at the Neidling production location, the Group's centre of
expertise for compact vehicles weighing up to 11 tonnes. These
extensions to capacity will be carried out in several phases, with
the aim of bringing about a 50% increase in production volumes.
Continued growth in the company. For 2008, Rosenbauer Group
Management expects that market volume will remain at a high level. In
view of the high volume of orders on hand, and the resulting high
degree of capacity utilization at the production companies, it is
reasonable to suppose that the current year will bring a continuation
of both top and bottom-line growth.
