At EUR 323.0 m (2002: EUR 286.5 m), Group revenues last year reached
their highest level ever. The main reasons for this increase of over
10% in revenues were the record deliveries made from Austria under
major export orders and the fact that - despite the 20% drop in the
US currency against the euro - revenues continued to grow in the USA.
In 2003, Rosenbauer achieved a continuation of the previous year's
positive earnings momentum. At EUR 19.2 m, profit from operations
(EBIT) was down on the previous year (2002: EUR 20.5 m); despite
this, the record EBT posted in 2002 was slightly exceeded, with
year-2003 EBT improving from EUR 15.7 m to EUR 15.9 m. This success
is primarily attributable to the restructuring and rationalisation
measures undertaken at the Austrian production facilities, the export
orders processed by Rosenbauer International AG, and the excellent
results posted by the subsidiaries in the USA and Spain.
Outlook
Whether the Group manages to reach the high levels of earnings of
both the previous years in 2004 will depend upon important framework
conditions such as developments on the German market, how long it
takes until the export projects currently being processed lead to
firm orders, and upon the direction taken by interest and exchange
rates. However, on present form it seems reasonably safe to expect
2004 revenues to be of the order of EUR 310.0 m, with EBT of between
EUR 10.5 m and EUR 12.5 m.
