INFRASTRUCTURE BUSINESS WITH HIGHEST LEVEL OF ORDERS RECEIVED IN A QUARTER IN THE COMPANY'S HISTORY

Orders received at a record high of €378.2 million in Q1 2022 (previous year: €260.0 million), order backlog peaked at €772.4 million (previous year: €644.8 million)
Significant sales successes in Q1 2022:
Tendering activities remain at a high level worldwide
Sales revenues up 7.3 percent to €222.2 million (previous year: €207.1 million)
Sales growth driven by the Customized Modules division; Lifecycle Solutions stable, Core Components slightly below previous year as expected
EBIT came to a pleasingly high €8.1 million in Q1 2022 despite ongoing pressure from rising material and energy prices; previous year's figure of €12.1 million benefited from much lower prices of materials and energy and a higher margin project mix at VFS; EBIT margin reached 3.6 percent (previous year: 5.8 percent)
Outlook for the 2022 fiscal year confirmed; in contrast to the previous year, significantly stronger profitability expected in H2 2022
OTHER MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS
Update on material and energy prices: Further increases in material and energy prices in recent weeks; prices of key materials and energy sources assumed to stabilize over the course of the year; in parallel increasingly intense discussions with customers about passing on the additional costs incurred due to the rise in material and energy prices; key materials still available
Composite tie goes into mass production:
Decision made to set up mass production of the innovative and sustainable composite tie at the existing VFS site in Poland; company plans to invest almost €10 million in manufacturing technology; production capacity of around 100,000 ties per year

NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN SALES REVENUES, EBIT AT A HIGH LEVEL DESPITE ONGOING PRESSURE FROM MATERIAL AND ENERGY PRICES

| Capital expenditure | € mill. | 8.1 | 8.7 | ||
| Value added | € mill. | (3.3) | (7.9) |
Sales revenues up by 7.3 percent, significant sales growth in Customized Modules, Lifecycle Solutions roughly on a par with previous year, Core Components slightly below year on year
EBIT lower than in previous year as expected; improved EBIT for Customized Modules is offset by anticipated lower EBIT contributions from Core Components, EBIT of Lifecycle Solutions on a par with previous year; EBIT margin thus also below year on year
Net income lower than in previous year in line with EBIT trend; earnings per share positive once again in Q1 2022
Free cashflow significantly improved compared to previous year, largely due to the lower increase in working capital in Q1 2022
Capital expenditure up slightly compared to previous year; increased capital expenditure in the Lifecycle Solutions and Customized Modules divisions
Value added still negative in line with expectations, below the level of previous year mainly due to lower contributions from the Core Components division

EQUITY RATIO UP AND NET FINANCIAL DEBT DOWN COMPARED TO END OF Q1 2021

| Closing capital employed | € mill. | 913.1 | 901.6 | 929.8 |
| Net financial debt | € mill. | 244.4 | 215.6 | 228.2 |
Continuous increase in equity, rise in Q1 2022 due to positive currency effects and a slightly positive net income; equity ratio remains at a good level
Closing working capital up compared to the end of 2021 due to seasonal effects, significantly lower than Q1 2021 due to Core Components; average working capital intensity improved again compared to Q1 2021, driven mainly by Customized Modules and Core Components
Average capital employed higher than Q1 2021, largely due to changes in the portfolio, closing capital employed up compared to the end of 2021, primarily as a result of the increase in working capital
Net financial debt including lease liabilities significantly lower than end of Q1 2021 despite cash outflows related to the acquisition of ETS Spoor in Q3 2021 – largely due to positive free cashflow of €59 million over the last twelve months; figure increased compared to year-end mainly due to seasonally negative free cash flow in Q1 2022

ORDERS RECEIVED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN PREVIOUS YEAR, ORDER BACKLOG REACHES RECORD HIGH

Core Components Customized Modules Lifecycle Solutions
Orders received significantly higher than in the previous year, reaching a record high in the first quarter; increase in orders received particularly significant for Vossloh Fastening Systems in China; Customized Modules also recorded a noticeable year-on-year improvement, especially in Poland and Egypt; Lifecycle Solutions up compared to previous year due to increase in orders received in the Netherlands; book to bill ratio of 1.70; deliveries made under framework agreements continue to be reflected in orders received only when call-offs are made
Order backlog up to a record high for the Vossloh Group in its current group structure as result of the significant improvement in orders received; rise largely driven by Core Components and Customized Modules divisions, with Lifecycle Solutions also recording a noticeable increase
6
SALES ONLY SLIGHTLY BELOW PREVIOUS YEAR'S HIGH LEVEL, PROFITABILITY IMPACTED BY PROJECT MIX AND INCREASED MATERIAL PRICES

HIGHEST ORDERS RECEIVED IN A QUARTER FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS, SALES REVENUES ABOVE PREVIOUS YEAR'S HIGH LEVEL

Orders received nearly tripled, largely due to two major orders in China for new high speed rail lines in Shandong (total volume around €90 million), orders received also significantly higher in Mexico ORDERS
Sales growth (+12.8 percent) driven largely by improved sales revenues in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe and Southern Europe, with Czechia and Italy improving the most in each region respectively
Value added down year on year due to considerable pressure from significant rise in the prices of material and energy and due to an exceptionally high-margin project mix in the previous year


SALES REVENUES WELL BELOW PREVIOUS YEAR IN Q1 2022, HOWEVER VALUE ADDED ONLY SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE

SALES REVENUES MUCH HIGHER THAN PREVIOUS YEAR, EBIT MARGIN ALSO IMPROVED

SALES REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY REMAIN ON A PAR WITH PREVIOUS YEAR IN FIRST QUARTER OF 2022

INCREASED SALES REVENUES IN THE GROUP DRIVEN BY BUSINESS IN EUROPE

Sales revenues down year on year in the USA, particularly for VTT and VFS; slightly higher sales revenues in Mexico and Canada
Western Europe: Improved sales revenues in France and the Netherlands; Northern Europe: significant sales growth in Sweden; Southern Europe: higher sales revenues in Portugal; Eastern Europe: higher sales revenues in Czechia
Decline in sales revenues in Australia, particularly for VTT, sales increase in Africa, particularly Egypt, driven by CM Lower sales revenues in Asia, particularly in Mongolia (VFS) and the United Arab Emirates (VFS and CM)

VOSSLOH EXPECTS EBIT INCREASE IN 2022
/ Sales revenues for the Core Components division are expected to be on a par with 2021 (improvement for Vossloh Fastening Systems, downturn for Vossloh Tie Technologies); slight sales growth forecast for Customized Modules, considerable increase in sales revenues forecast for Lifecycle Solutions
/ While Core Components is expected to see stable profitability or a slight decline, the Customized Modules and Lifecycle Solutions divisions are forecasting a higher profitability; the Group also expects a significant lower level of profitability in Q2 2022 compared to the same period of the previous year. By contrast, profitability in H2 2022 is forecast to be significantly higher from today's perspective. Overall, EBIT is expected to increase further at Group level in 2022
/ Average capital employed for the 2022 fiscal year expected to be slightly higher than the figure for 2021; weighted average cost of capital before taxes (WACC) remains at 7.0 percent in 2022 fiscal year
1Profitability will be significantly impacted by changes in material and energy prices as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine and how these price changes can be passed on to customers. Supply bottlenecks for certain materials cannot be ruled out in the future. Developments are being monitored and analyzed on a continuous basis.
