Outlook into FY25e: another strong year ahead for Rosenbauer

Topic: With a record high order backlog and restored supply chains, Rosenbauer should deliver another
strong year after an already solid FY24e.

Already in 9M'24, Rosenbauer increased its sales by 20% yoy to € 841m continuing its turnaround after
the challenging FY22. We expect the growth story to continue for Q4'24e and FY25e due to multifactorial
reasons. (1) The demand for firefighting trucks and equipment is unbrokenly high with € 1.23bn
order intake in 9M'24 (+20% yoy; book-to-bill 1.47x) and a record high in order backlog of € 2.20bn. (2)
The chassis supply chain crisis in FY21&22 has successively eased throughout FY23 and FY24. At the
time, chassis availability is not a major concern. (3) Significant price increases are still in the order book
as the average price per fire truck in order intake during 9M'24 increased by 14.6% yoy to € 571t.

Hence, we not only expect Rosenbauer to reach the FY24e top-line guidance, which was raised in
November to over € 1.20bn (eNuW: € 1.25bn) but also to achieve high single-digit sales growth for
FY25e (eNuW: € 1.36bn). Additionally, we expect to see a further improvement in EBIT margin next year
to 5.6% (vs. eNuW 5.0% in FY24e; 3.5% in FY23; -1.1% in FY22), mainly thanks to price increases but
also due to the margin attractive Equipment segment. Thus, EBIT should increase disproportionately by
21% yoy to € 76.5m.

Capital increase and debt refinancing: Announced in the company news from 9th December, Rosenbauer
has obtained essential regulatory approvals such as in the EU and the US, but not all approvals in
all further relevant jurisdictions. The missing approvals are expected to be obtained by the end
of Q1'25e. With Robau as a new strong investor, Rosenbauer will raise its equity ratio to a healthy level
and satisfy its covenants. In addition, Rosenbauer has agreed on a refinancing of € 330m with its major
lenders (company news 19th Dec.) with a term until December 2027 and extension options for additional
two more years.

We reiterate our BUY rating with an unchanged PT of € 50, based on DCF.
