Interim figures for 2011

22.02.2012

The interim figures indicate that Group revenues fell back to 541.0
Mio Euro in 2011 (2010: 595.7 Mio Euro), meaning that despite the
grave aftermath of the financial and economic crisis - especially in
the USA and Western Europe - they were only 9% below the previous
year´s figure. Largely due to delays in the supply of bought-in
chassis, and for reasons connected to the start-up phase for the new
municipal vehicle AT, it was not possible to make good by the
year-end all the revenues that had been deferred beyond the end of
the first half-year. This effect was compounded by deferred shipments
under international export orders, which will now be delivered - and
reflected in revenues - during the current financial year.

(interim)2011 Change % 2010 2009
Revenues Mio Euro 541.0 -9 % 595.7 541.8
EBIT Mio Euro 41.4 -17 % 49.7 29.4
EBT Mio Euro 40.3 -18 % 49.1 26.4
Workforce numbers at 31.12. 2,123 +4 % 2,046 1,946
Order intake Mio Euro 826.8 +66 % 496.9 575.9
Order books Mio Euro 682.3 +73 % 394.5 487.2

Although the EBIT of 41.4 Mio Euro fell short of the previous year´s
record result (2010: 49.7 Mio Euro), at 7.7 % the EBIT margin was
still at a high level. It should also be remembered that the 2010
result was improved to the tune of 3.5 Mio Euro by the partial
reversal of a provision that had been made in view of the German
anti-trust case.

Moreover, due to the production start-up phase for the new AT,
expenditure on adapting factory equipment and other initial costs
were incurred which had a one-off adverse effect on EBIT. As in
previous years, the export business of Rosenbauer International AG
and the US companies were the main drivers of earnings. The pre-tax
result (EBT) in the reporting period came to 40.3 Mio Euro (2010:
49.1 Mio Euro).

Last year the Rosenbauer Group took new orders worth 826.8 Mio Euro
(2010: 496.9 Mio Euro). This is a 66% increase on the year before,
the bulk of it due to the company winning the biggest single order in
its entire history, from Saudi Arabia. At 682.3 Mio Euro (31.12.2010:
394.5 Mio Euro), the volume of orders on hand at 31.12.2011 was the
highest such figure ever reached, and will assure basic capacity
utilization at our production facilities until well into 2014.

Investments and production capacity The Rosenbauer Group´s
medium-range corporate strategy envisages further organic growth in
the vehicle, fire & safety equipment and service fields through until
2015. In addition thereto, there are also major orders which call for
extra production capacity. To ensure timely fulfilment of the high
volume of orders on hand at the year-end, a number of
capacity-enlargement measures have either already been taken or are
planned for 2012. Among them are investments in project management
and in expanding shift working, the enlargement of the international
service center at Leonding, increasing the logistics space available
at Neidling, and leasing an additional production facility in
Wyoming, Minnesota.

The high numbers of fire fighting vehicles ordered for delivery over
the next two years will require extra assembly space, which will be
created by renting a production building not far from the Leonding
facility. The extra manpower needed in this connection will be
provided both by our own and by leased staff.This means that the
Group´s investment outlays will be well above the level of recent
years, focusing mainly on further capacity build-out at its Austrian
locations.

The figures given here are based on an IFRS-compliant accounting
forecast. The final figures for the 2011 financial year are to be
announced on April 20, 2012.
