Rosenbauer International AG: Rosenbauer Group achieves significant revenue growth in first three quarters of 2025

Leonding (pta006/14.11.2025/07:45 UTC+1)

• Increases in nearly all product areas boost consolidated revenues by 13.0% to €950.7 million
• Operating result improved due to higher contribution margins, EBITDA at €63.5 million and EBIT at €33.4 million
• Head count rises by around 8% to 4,805 employees, increase in Austria of approx. 7%
• Net debt down, operating cash flow is positive for the first time after just nine months
• Order intake of € 1,163.4 million clearly above the revenues of the period
• Executive Board confirms 5.5% EBIT margin for the full year and aims to achieve a 40% increase in revenues to €500 million in 4th quarter

In a weak economic environment, the Rosenbauer Group boosted its revenues significantly by 13.0% to €950.7 million in the first three quarters of 2025 (1–9/2024: €841.3 million). All major product segments succeeded in increasing business volumes. At 17.3%, vehicle production saw the largest increase, with output rising from 1,362 to 1,402 units. The operating result was also improved due to higher turnover and better contribution margins in the vehicle business. EBITDA increased to €63.5 million compared to the same period of the previous year (1–9/2024: €52.6 million). EBIT improved to €33.4 million (1–9/2024: €29.4 million). Adjusted for non-recurring charges in the second quarter, EBITDA and EBIT would have been €67.5 million and €41.5 million respectively. Healthy order levels resulted in a head count increase of around 8% to 4,805 employees (September 30, 2024: 4,440). In Austria, the increase was approx. 7% to 1,796 employees (September 30, 2024: 1,682). At €1,163.4 million, order intake during the reporting period was lower than the previous year (1–9/2024: €1,233.4 million), but clearly above the revenues of the period. Only the Asia-Pacific area achieved growth.

"A long-term comparison shows that the third quarter was a very strong individual quarter. In addition to good revenue growth, our measures to manage working capital are having a positive impact. Together with lower interest expenses, the operating cash flow is positive after just nine months for the first time in the company's history. We are on the right track in our efforts to stabilize the Group," said Robert Ottel, CEO of Rosenbauer International AG.

Financial and net assets position

Net debt fell from the previous year's figure of €467.8 million to €305.1 million. This reflects both the inflow of funds from the successfully completed capital increase and the continued improvement of trade working capital. The gearing ratio fell from 261.2% to 95.8%.

Trade working capital declined to €471.9 million (1–9/2024: €512.1 million) due to ongoing measures to increase efficiency. This corresponds to a decrease from 39.2% to 32.5% in relation to target annual revenue.

At €2.0 million, cash flow from operating activities was positive for the first time in the company's history after just nine months (1–9/2024: €-9.9 million). Significantly positive cash flow from operating activities is also expected for 2025 as a whole.

Outlook

Rosenbauer International AG in a growing market, is benefiting from well-filled order books. Improved supply chains are enabling accelerated production and delivery of vehicles and equipment. However, US import tariffs introduced in August are having an adverse impact on local ordering behavior.

The Executive Board's current focus is on efficient delivery of the large existing order backlog. Assuming no further one-off effects, Rosenbauer is aiming for a seasonal increase in revenues of 40% to approx. €500 million for the fourth quarter (7–9/2025: €346 million) with an EBIT margin of 5.5% for the full year.
