1) Before profits/losses on minority interest

The ROSENBAUER Group notched up both top and bottom-line growth during the
reporting period, with revenues up 16% on the first three quarters of 2008 at
EUR 374.4 Mio (1-9/2008: EUR 322.0 Mio). The principal drivers of top-line
growth were international export sales and the Group´s US business. Helped by an
excellent third quarter, the operating result (EBIT) for the first nine months
was lifted by 27% to EUR 27.2 Mio (1-9/2008: EUR 21.5 Mio). This took the EBIT
margin to 7.3%, up from 6.7% year-on-year, largely due to positive effects from
the high level of capacity utilization.

Despite the need for greater financing to fulfill the high shipment volumes,
there was a marked improvement in the finance cost incurred in the reporting
period, from EUR -4.1 Mio to EUR -2.6 Mio, thanks to considerably lower
interest rates. EBT in the first three quarters of this year thus came to EUR
24.5 Mio (1-9/2008: EUR 16.9 Mio), a year-on-year rise of around 45%.

Despite the weak state of the world economy, the ROSENBAUER Group once again
managed to increase its order intake in the first three quarters of 2009. At
EUR 454.0 Mio, it was 24% above the figure for this period of last year (1-
9/2008: EUR 365.8 Mio). This gratifying development is attributable in part to
the major order from Saudi Arabia, worth around EUR 100 Mio, that was taken in
the 1st half of the year.

At EUR 553.2 Mio, the Group´s order backlog at September 30, 2009 were 31%
above the comparable figure for last year (September 30, 2008: EUR 423.3
Mio)."ROSENBAUER has been successful in consolidating its leading market
position still further, and in making the best possible use of the still
positive market trend in our sector. We have ramped up production capacity at
all our facilities and will be working to capacity until at least the third
quarter of 2010", reports a gratified Julian Wagner, President and CEO
ROSENBAUER International AG.

ROSENBAUER Group Management can confirm a continuation of growth throughout
2009, with revenues expected to come in at around 10% above last year´s level
(2008: EUR 500.3 Mio). As far as EBIT is concerned, Management is confident
that last year´s record figure (2008: EUR 39.9 Mio) can be matched or even
bettered. In view of the even stiffer competition, however, a somewhat narrower
EBIT margin is expected than last year, of between 7% and 7.5% (2008: 8.0%).
