Analyst: Christian Sandherr

On Friday, Rosenbauer presented strong Q3 results. Here are the key

takeaways:

Q3 revenue of EUR 346m, up 12.8% yoy, exceeded expectations of EUR 338m (eNuW),

carried by all major product segments. Vehicle revenues rose by 15.7% yoy to

EUR 270.8m, Fire & Safety by 16.6% yoy to EUR 28.4m and Customer service by 7.7%

yoy to EUR 33m. Regionally, Americas improved by 30.5% yoy to EUR 105m, while

Europe slightly declined by 2.7% yoy, denoting EUR 157m in revenue. Strong

contributions from typically more volatile developing regions Middle East

(+16.4% yoy, EUR 39.8m) and Asia-Pacific (+78.9% yoy, EUR 43.3m) aided in

turning this Q3 from a typically seasonally weaker quarter into a strong

one.

Q3 EBITDA came in at EUR 35.3m, soaring by 51.6% yoy. At the same time Q3 EBIT

of EUR 26m was up 73.5% yoy despite a continued headwind from the Preventive

Fire Protection segment, which remains in restructuring with a EUR 6.2m EBIT

loss. Key drivers for the strong growth were efficiency gains thanks to

improved supply chains, no further headwinds from tariffs in the US (Q3

margin of 8.9% vs -2.5% in H1) and an improving mix effect (i.e. stronger

growth of higher margin regions APAC and MEA).

The order backlog at the end of Q3 reached a new all-time high of EUR 2.4bn,

up 10.5 % yoy, providing strong visibility well into 2026, even as order

intake came in 6.3% below last year's figure at EUR 458m. The temporary

softness was visible across all segments, except for Asia-Pacific.

Adjustments on the FY 25 guidance became necessary, as visibility increased

towards the end of the year. Rosenbauer delivered early on turning the

operating cash flow positive (positive territories were already reached in

Q3). Yet, roughly EUR 50m of sales were pushed into Q1 2026 to help smooth out

seasonality and ease extra costs from running above capacity in the final

quarter. FY25 revenue is now expected at EUR1.45bn, with the deferred EUR 50m

coming in at slightly better margins. Assuming no further one-offs, the EBIT

margin of 5.5% for FY 2025 was confirmed.

The working capital improved from EUR 512m in Q3 2024 to EUR 472m, due to

efficiency measures taken. Net debt denoted at EUR 305m (Q3 2024: EUR 467.8m)

and the equity ratio improved from 14% a year ago to 24.4% in Q3 2025

(thanks to the resolved capital increase), as the company continues to

solidify its financial position.

Our take: With a record order backlog, management focusing on efficient

deliveries and supply chains stabilizing, we expect further positive

top-line developments. Margin improvements are to follow with further

efficiency measures introduced (EUR 10m additional savings from FY26e). A

debt covenants are more easily met, managements freedom in decision making

continues to improve. With PFP restructuring efforts under way, we expect

its negative impact on EBIT margins to decrease in 2026. In sum, the company

is well on track to further cement the ongoing operational turnaround. BUY

with a EUR 54 PT, based on DCF.
