Rosenbauer International AG: Rosenbauer Group significantly increases revenue in first half of 2025

Leonding (pta007/08.08.2025/07:20 UTC+2)

• Improved vehicle deliveries and more business with equipment, components and services boost sales by 13.1% to € 604.7 million
• Non-recurring charges weigh on the operating result; EBITDA at € 28.2 million and EBIT at € 7.4 million
• Historically high order backlog of € 2.4 billion
• Marked improvement in trade working capital, net debt down
• Executive Board confirms revenue target of around € 1.5 billion in 2025, EBIT margin is adjusted to 5,5 % due to non-recurring charges

In the first half of 2025, the Rosenbauer Group boosted revenue substantially by 13.1% to € 604.7 million (1–6/2024: € 534.6 million) in a volatile economic environment. This increase was attributable to a higher number of vehicle deliveries, which rose by 18.2%, as well as stronger business with equipment, components and services. At the same time, the operating result was impacted by non-recurring effects from the Americas area and the Preventive Fire Protection segment. EBITDA fell to € 28.2 million compared to the same period of the previous year (1–6/2024: € 29.3 million). EBIT amounted to € 7.4 million (1–6/2024: € 14.4 million). Adjusted for these non-recurring effects, EBITDA is € 32.3 million and EBIT is €15.5 million. Order intake remained strong in the reporting period, at € 705.2 million (1–6/2024: € 744.2 million). Two of five segments succeeded in increasing their order intake. In the US, discussions about tariffs and counter-tariffs adversely affected dealers' ordering behavior. The order backlog in the Rosenbauer Group continued to grow and reached a historically high figure of € 2,351.5 million (June 30, 2024: € 2,017.2 million).

"Our Group has significantly increased sales once again in recent months while at the same time substantially reducing net debt. This development is very pleasing and demonstrates the importance of process optimization and the capital increase carried out in the first half of the year. Operationally, we are on the right track and we will largely make up for the charges from the special effects in the second half of the year, which is seasonally stronger," says Robert Ottel, CEO of Rosenbauer International AG.

Financial and net assets position

Total assets fell year-on-year to € 1,293.8 million (June 30, 2024: € 1,302.4 million). Current assets reported the largest change, falling to € 1,013.3 million as at the reporting date (June 30, 2024: € 1,033.0 million). Inventories reduced to € 684.8 million (June 30, 2024: € 704.6 million). At € 298.8 million, receivables and other assets were higher year-on-year (June 30, 2024: € 274.4 million).

Net debt fell from the previous year's figure of € 501.5 million to € 314.3 million. This reflects both the inflow of funds from the successfully completed capital increase and continued improvement in trade working capital. Trade working capital was € 477.4 million (1–6/2024: € 536.1 million).

Cash flow from operating activities was negative in the reporting period at € –23.8 million (1–6/2024: € –50.0 million), which is significantly more than half the figure of the prior-year period. Positive cash flow from operating activities is assumed for the full year 2025.

Outlook

The firefighting industry is benefiting from well-filled order books. Improved supply chains are enabling accelerated production and delivery of vehicles and equipment, which should result in increased sales for manufacturers in 2025. It is still too early to assess the impact of the new U.S. import tariffs on goods from Europe, which came into effect on August 7, 2025.

Thanks to continued strong demand, the Rosenbauer Group has a solid order backlog. Assuming that tariff negotiations have no further negative effects on US business, the Group's Executive Board expects revenue of around € 1.5 billion in 2025. In view of the non-recurring charges in the first half of the year, the EBIT margin is expected to be around 5.5%.
