REVENUE AND RESULTS TRENDS
The first half of 2007 was marked by further growth for the Rosenbauer Group,
with striking improvements in both revenues and the result. Group revenues
surged by 20.9% over the first half of 2006, reaching EUR 178.4 Mio (1-6/2006:
EUR 147.5 Mio). International export business and US sales were once again
the main drivers of corporate growth. In tandem with the surge in
revenues, the operating result (EBIT) also climbed by 20.5%, to EUR 8.8 Mio
(1-6/2006: EUR 7.3 Mio), while at 4.9%, profitability (the EBIT margin) remained
at last year's level.

Due to the increased borrowing required for fulfilling the large volume of
order backlog, and to the upward trend in interest rates, the finance cost item
deteriorated to EUR -2.6 Mio (1-6/2006: EUR -1.7 Mio). This brought EBT for
the first half of this year to EUR 6.1 Mio (1-6/2006: EUR 5.7 Mio).

Most shipments in the fire-equipment sector tend to take place in the
second half of the year; indeed, the lion's share of both revenues and the
result is not earned until the last few months of the financial year.

Quarter-on-quarter comparison of the revenues and results shows that - for
industry-specific reasons - these both increase during the course of the year.
Both the 2nd quarter revenues of EUR 102.4 Mio (1-3/2007: EUR 76.0 Mio) and the
operating result (EBIT) of EUR 7.1 Mio (1-3/2007: EUR 1.7 Mio) were considerable
increases on the 1st quarter figures.

ORDERS
At EUR 224.5 Mio (1-6/2006: EUR 220.0 Mio), order intake in the Group once
again reached a record level in the first half of the year. This increase is
mainly due to international project business. Owing to the very substantial
volume of new orders taken in the past twelve months, order backlog as at June
30, 2007 rose to EUR 391.4 Mio (December 31, 2006: EUR 354.1 Mio; June 30,
2006: EUR 310.5 Mio). The result is a continuation of the high levels of
capacity utilization in all the Group's production companies.

OUTLOOK
On the strength of the past few months' extremely positive order trend -
and provided that the high shipment volumes can be fulfilled according to
plan - the 2007 financial year is set to be a record year, despite the
likelihood of the growth rates for 2007 as a whole displaying somewhat
flatter tendencies. Given the high degree of capacity utilization at the
production companies, the composition of the order backlog, and timely
availability of chassis and production materials, the Management of the
Rosenbauer Group expects 2007 to bring a rise of at least 10% in revenues
and EBIT.
