Rosenbauer Group - Preliminary Results 2010

23.02.2011

2010 was another record year for the Rosenbauer Group, in which it
maintained the growth curve of recent years. The international
orientation and worldwide presence so energetically pursued by the
Group, its technological leadership, and growth on the US market were
the major drivers of this success.

KEY CORPORATE FIGURES 2010 (preliminary) Change in % 2009 2008
Revenues EUR Mio 595.0 + 10% 541.8 500.3
EBIT before one-off effects EUR Mio 46.3 + 6% 43.5 39.9
EBIT after one-off effects EUR Mio 49.8 + 69% 29.4 39.9
EBT EUR Mio 48.8 + 85% 26.4 32.3
Employees as at 31.12. 2,046 + 5% 1,946 1,795
Order intake EUR Mio 496.9 (14%) 575.9 556.7
Order backlog as at 31.12. EUR Mio 394.5 (19%) 487.2 459.2

Group revenues climbed by 10% in 2010 to a record high of 595.0 EUR
Mio (2009: 541.8 EUR Mio). This means that revenues have doubled in
the course of the past six years. EBIT in the reporting period rose
to 49.8 EUR Mio (2009: 29.4 EUR Mio), equating to an EBIT margin of
8.4% (2009: 5.4%). As in previous years, the biggest top and
bottom-line contributors were the export business of Rosenbauer
International AG and the US companies.

While 2009 EBIT was adversely affected by a 15.0 EUR Mio provision
set aside as a risk precaution in the light of pending anti-trust
proceedings in Germany, the 2010 result benefited from a positive
effect worth 3.5 EUR Mio resulting from the partial reversal of this
provision. The proceedings, which had been underway at the Federal
Cartel Office since 2009, were concluded when official notice of the
fines was served in February 2011. Fines totaling 10.5 EUR Mio were
imposed upon the two companies involved, Rosenbauer International AG
and Rosenbauer Feuerwehrtechnik GmbH. After legal and incidental
costs are added, the total sum required is likely to amount to 11.5
EUR Mio, permitting the above-mentioned partial reversal of the
provision for anti-trust risks. The operating result (EBIT) before
the one-off effect from the reversal of the provision is 46.3 EUR
Mio. The operating EBIT margin of 7.8 % is well above the industry
average.

Orders Last year the Rosenbauer Group took new orders worth a total
of 496.9 EUR Mio (2009: 575.9 EUR Mio), 14% below the figure for the
previous year. Year-on-year comparison must allow for the fact that
in the second quarter of 2009 a very sizeable major order, of several
years´ duration, was received from the General Authority of Civil
Aviation (GACA) in Saudi Arabia, to supply 220 fire fighting vehicles
worth a total of 100 EUR Mio. This order will take until 2012 to
fulfill and so will have a positive impact on revenues and earnings
in each of four successive years.

At 394.5 EUR Mio, the volume of order backlog at the end of 2010
(compared to 487.2 EUR Mio in 2009) reflects the developments in
incoming orders. This means that despite the fall in the order intake
figure in the wake of the 2009 major order, a continuation of the
good capacity utilization situation at the Group´s production
facilities is assured for 2011.

The figures given here are based on an IFRS-compliant accounting
forecast. The final figures for the 2010 financial year are to be
announced on April 20, 2011.
