The Rosenbauer Group posted revenues of 338.5 Mio EUR in the 1sthalf
of 2013, a 25% increase on the corresponding period of last year
(1-6/2012: 270.7 Mio EUR). This revenue growth is largely
attributable to the international shipments made by Rosenbauer
International AG, where capacity utilization continued to be very
strong due to the high volume of orders on hand. The Group's
companies in Spain and the USA were also able to lift their revenues.

Year-on-year quarterly comparison shows that revenues in the
2ndquarter considerably exceeded the previous year's figure, with
revenues for the period from April to June 18% up at 183.7 Mio EUR,
from 155.1 Mio EUR the year before. Fulfilling the revenue target for
the year will necessitate stepped-up shipments in both the next two
quarters as well.

EBIT rose to 16.8 Mio EUR year on year (1-6/2012: 11.8 Mio EUR). As
well as to higher shipment volumes, this increase is also due to
better gross profits on several export orders, and to greatly
improved earnings in the US segment. This also led to an improvement
in the EBIT margin, from 4.4% to 5.0%.

The "Finance cost" improved to an end-of-half-year figure of -1.1 Mio
EUR, below the figure for the same period of last year (1-6/2012:
-1.3 Mio EUR), largely due to the valuation of derivatives. At 1.4
Mio EUR, the "Result of joint ventures" remained at the previous
year's level (1-6/2012: 1.5 Mio EUR). First half-year EBT rose to
17.1 Mio EUR (1-6/2012: 11.9 Mio EUR).

Based on the course of business in the first half of the year, and in
view of the high volume of orders on hand, Management can confirm
that the growth trajectory will be maintained. Assuming that the high
volume of shipments can be fulfilled smoothly, Rosenbauer is looking
for revenues of well over 700 Mio EUR, or at the least a 10%
year-on-year increase. Especially in the fourth quarter, the company
is once again expecting rising contributions to both revenues and
earnings.

However, the high level of investment in the company's future, and
the ever fiercer price competition on the market, are weighing on the
EBIT margin. The additions to production space, and an optimization
program launched at the Leonding site in 2012, will counter this
margin trend. Management is aiming here for an improvement upon the
EBIT margin of 6.0% attained in 2012.
