Preliminary results 2008
25.02.2009
2008 was the best year yet for the ROSENBAUER Group in its entire 
143-year history. This success is attributable largely to the strong 
international position achieved by the Group over the past few years.
With timely additions to its production capacity in the USA and 
Austria, ROSENBAUER was well prepared to deal with the ensuing high 
production volumes, enabling it to continue on the successful growth 
track of recent years.
Group revenues rose by 17% in 2008, to EUR 500.2 Mio (2007: EUR 426.1
Mio). This organic growth of EUR 74.1 Mio represents what is by far 
the biggest increase in revenues ever achieved in the history of the 
company. The main drivers of this revenue growth were the export 
business of ROSENBAUER International AG and the German companies. 
EBIT surged by 29% in 2008 to an all-time high of EUR 39.8 Mio (2007:
EUR 30.8 Mio). The main earnings drivers were the export business of 
ROSENBAUER International AG and the US companies.
Order intake in the ROSENBAUER Group climbed to EUR 556.7 Mio, EUR 
98.0 Mio (21%) above the previous year's figure (2007: EUR 458.7 
Mio). Particularly strong growth was achieved in international and US
business.
Thanks to the buoyant order intake trend in the final quarter of the 
year, the volume of orders on hand at the end of 2008 reached a new 
record level of EUR 459.2 Mio (2007: EUR 375.4 Mio). In consequence, 
2009 will also see a continuation of the high levels of capacity 
utilization at the Group's production facilities.
