Interim figures 2006

28.02.2007

The Rosenbauer Group continued to expand last year, achieving a
substantial increase in business volume. Group revenues rose to EUR
370.0 Mio (2005: EUR 321.3 Mio), the highest figure ever. Export
sales from Austria, stepped-up shipments of aerial appliances from
Karlsruhe, increased sales volumes on the Spanish market and
continued growth in the Group’s US business were all key drivers
here.

A 28 % improvement was achieved over the previous year’s operating
result, taking 2006 EBIT to EUR 25.1 Mio (2005: EUR 19.6 Mio). The
international export successes from Austria, the turnaround at Metz
Aerials and the huge increases in output all made major contributions
to this improvement.

This positive development was driven by new products, by significant
gains in market share in international and US business, and by
ongoing increases in productivity.

At EUR 485.9 Mio (2005: EUR 377.0 Mio), the volume of order intake in
2006 was well above the level of the past two years. This has led to
a great increase in capacity utilisation during the current financial
year. Another new record notched up in 2006 was for order backlog at
the year-end, totalling EUR 354.1 Mio as against EUR 243.1 Mio in
2005.
