Leonding (pta009/10.04.2026/07:15 UTC+2)

• EBT more than doubled to €54.7 million
• Debt halved, Net debt-to-EBITDA ratio reduced to below 2
• Revenue grows to €1,429 million and reaches all-time high
• Trade working capital stable despite higher revenue
• Record order backlog of €2,354.6 million and 110 new jobs created in Austria

Overall development for 2025 was very positive for Rosenbauer. Firstly, the order backlog rose to €2,354.6 million (2024: €2,279.8 million), well above the Group's annual revenues. Secondly, sales rose by 9.4% to €1,429.0 million and earnings rose to €84.5 million. With the successful capital increase and the completed refinancing deal, Rosenbauer has also strengthened its financial base and created important conditions for the company's future development.

Revenues

At €1,429.0 million, revenues in 2025 were 9.4% higher than the previous year's level (2024: €1,305.9 million). Vehicle deliveries to customers worldwide increased by approximately 4%. The Group's strongest product segment in terms of revenues was Vehicles, with a share of revenue of around 78% (2024: 75%) and revenue of €1,115.8 million.

Result of operations

The efficiency improvement measures contributed substantially to the increase in the EBIT to €84.5 million in the 2025 financial year (2024: €64.9 million).The financing costs dropped in the 2025 financial year due to the capital increase and the subsequent refinancing, resulting in a financial result of €–29.9 million (2024: €–38.6 million).

Earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to €54.7 million (2024: €26.3 million). This resulted in a substantially positive result for the period of €54.3 million (2024: €29.8 million).

Rosenbauer generates about one third of its revenue in the United States, where it produces for the local market at four of its own locations. As a result, Rosenbauer in the region is affected only indirectly by trade policy restrictions. Temporary market uncertainties had a dampening effect on demand in the Americas region nonetheless. At €466.9 million, the order intake was lower than the previous year's level of €529.6 million.

Financing

Equity as of December 31, 2025, was €371.0 million (2024: €208.1 million). The equity ratio rose to 27.8% (2024: 16.6%) due to the capital increase and profit after tax. At the same time, net debt in the reporting year dropped significantly to €244.5 million (2024: €392.5 million), which also improved the net debt to EBITDA ratio to a factor of less than 2.

"2025 was a milestone for Rosenbauer. We achieved the strongest year in our company's history, both operationally and financially, and at the same time laid the foundation for sustainable, profitable growth. Record sales, the doubling of our pre-tax earnings and the halving of our debt demonstrate our renewed strength.

Strategically, we are focused on continuity: The Rosenbauer family remains committed to the company, and the new, future-minded anchor investors are strengthening Rosenbauer's financial base. On this basis, we are further developing our business model in line with the three pillars of innovation and technology leadership, operational excellence, and consistent proximity to customers.

I'm particularly proud of the 110 new jobs we've created in Austria. They symbolize the trust of our customers, the performance of our team, and our ambition to continue playing a decisive role in shaping the global firefighting industry as a global market leader," said Robert Ottel, CEO of Rosenbauer International AG.

"I am impressed by Rosenbauer's performance over the past year. It shows how consistently the company is pursuing its course towards stability and profitability. My task is to further expand this financial strength, safeguard the quality of the balance sheet in the long term, and actively drive forward the transformation of our financial division. Rosenbauer has huge potential and I look forward to taking the next step in the financial and strategic development of the company together with the team," said Jörg Schuschnig, CFO of Rosenbauer International AG since April 1, 2026.

Stable development and growth in 2026

Rosenbauer started 2026 in an excellent position. In Austria alone, 110 new jobs were created in 2025, bringing the global workforce to 4,922 employees. The historically high order backlog of €2,354.6 million – around 165% of annual revenue – provides a solid foundation for business development well beyond the current year.

Internationalization is being consistently pursued: 92.6% of revenue is generated outside Austria and 53.5% outside Europe. Rosenbauer sees strong potential for long-term growth particularly in the US, India, and South America.

In parallel, the company is continuing to invest in expanding its customer service business and its global service network. Expansion at the Luckenwalde and Bad Abbach locations strengthens the company's proximity to customers and its focus on the entire vehicle life cycle.

Numerous product and technology innovations will also dominate 2026. The world's leading trade fair for INTERSCHUTZ firefighting technology in Hanover will provide Rosenbauer with a central platform for presenting new solutions in the fields of e-mobility, forest fire deployment, and equipment as well as state-of-the-art vehicle concepts and fire extinguishing technology.

Outlook

Based on current planning, the Executive Board expects sales of approximately  €1.6 billion for the 2026 financial year. Taking into account the existing uncertainties, the EBIT margin is expected to continue to improve to over 6%.
