Revenue development

The Rosenbauer Group successfully continued on its growth trajectory in the first three quarters of 2026. Revenues rose to €978.6 million (1–9/2025: €950.7 million), 2.9% higher than the previous year. The main drivers were a higher number of vehicle deliveries and more business in Preventive Fire Protection.

Rosenbauer was able to further improve profitability despite ongoing delivery delays in the Middle East, the SAP transformation, and slower progress in restructuring its stationary fire protection business. The increase in revenue led to a considerably stronger operating result. EBITDA increased to €71.2 million (1–9/2025: €63.5 million), while EBIT rose to €42.4 million (1–9/2025: €33.4 million). The positive earnings trend was particularly evident in earnings before taxes (EBT), which almost tripled to €27.7 million (1–9/2025: €10.4 million).

Orders

In the first three quarters of 2026, the Rosenbauer Group reported a strong order intake of €1,102.3 million (1–9/2025: €1,163.4 million), reflecting continuing high demand for its products and solutions. Incoming orders were significantly higher than revenues for the period. The order backlog totaled €2,454.7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2026 (September 30, 2025: 2,430.0 Mio €). The Rosenbauer Group therefore has a solid basis for further profitable revenue growth.

"The first nine months of 2026 showed that we are successfully continuing on our profitable growth trajectory. We increased further both revenues and earnings, and our order backlog of approximately €2.45 billion provides a strong foundation for further business development. At the same time, following the introduction of SAP, we are continuing to prioritize the stabilization of our processes and spare parts supply, as well as the on-time delivery of customer orders," said Robert Ottel, CEO of Rosenbauer International AG. "We're looking at a strong fourth quarter in terms of deliveries and feel we are in a good position for the rest of the year," he added.

Financial and net assets position

Net debt increased year-on-year from €305.1 million to €390.9 million. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to €-110.6 million in the first nine months of 2026 (1–9/2025: 2.0 Mio €). This was due to trade working capital increasing to €654.2 million (1–9/2025: €471.9 million). Due to the large number of scheduled deliveries, we expect a significant improvement in operating cash flow and a further reduction in inventory levels in the fourth quarter.

Outlook

Rosenbauer benefits from a strong order backlog and sustained high demand in the market. Well-filled order books and stable supply chains continue to support both production and delivery and provide a solid basis for further business development. At the same time, there are uncertainties with regard to public investment budgets, trade policy, and geopolitical events. The Group is therefore focusing on dealing with its order backlog efficiently and delivering customer orders on time.

The Group's Executive Board thus expects sales and earnings to increase further in 2026 and anticipates revenues of around €1.55 billion. Taking existing uncertainties into account, the EBIT is expected to amount to approximately € 90 million, and thus exceed the previous year's figure.
