Higher sales and improved profitability compared to previous year

Regional Developments

• China: Sustained good market position of Core Components with rail fastening systems in the high-speed sector, currently low bidding activities for new construction projects, the five-year plan outlines the expansion of the highspeed network, increasing sales shares in other segments are expected (export, maintenance, urban transport); increasingly positive performance and improved outlook in the Customized Modules division are leading to the reversal of an impairment of the investment in the joint venture in Wuhu; Lifecycle Solutions are experiencing high demand for HSG technology, good performance in the sale of vehicles and of components (HSG and HSG-city)
• North America: Continued weak demand from Class I operators impacts the Core Components and Customized Modules divisions, partially offset by positive business performance in the Transit area, good sales performance in Mexico in the Tie Technologies business unit; excess capacities in Customized Modules continue to lead to high pricing pressure, efficiency improvement program is being implemented, slight recovery is expected over the course of 2018
• Russia: Opening of a production site for rail fastening systems in Engels in October 2017

Sales up by 12.1%, primarily due to the consolidation of Vossloh Tie Technologies and good sales development at Vossloh Fastening Systems

Improved EBIT and EBIT margin, attributable to good business development in the Core Components division

Net income surpasses previous year primarily due to good operational business development; the previous year was burdened by a negative result from discontinued operations

ROCE at the previous year's level, value added still negative, but noticeably improved; WACC since 2017: 7.5% (previous year: 9.0%)

Free cash flow positive in the third quarter at €21.7 million (Q3/2016: €8.0 million); strong increase in FCF expected in the fourth quarter

Orders received down on previous year, the previous year includes a major order for Vossloh Locomotives worth €140 million

Vossloh Group

Equity increased due to positive net income

Closing capital employed	€ million	718.3	867.5
Net financial debt	€ million	133.1	224.1

Equity ratio above the previous year primarily due to the sale of the former Electrical Systems business unit and the increase in net income against the previous year

Ø working capital intensity lower; increase in Ø working capital on a percentage basis lower than sales growth

Ø capital employed above the previous year particularly due to the consolidation of the Tie Technologies business unit

Net financial debt increased primarily through net outflows from M&A activities (€117.6 million outflow of funds for VTT; €42.4 million inflow of funds for Electrical Systems)

Core Components Division (CC)

Sales significantly above the previous year, EBIT 65.7% higher

	1–9/2016	29.4
Value added	1–9/2017	27.2
(€ million)	1–9/2016	16.7

• Sales up against the previous year primarily due to the initial consolidation of Vossloh Tie Technologies; clear increase in sales at Vossloh Fastening Systems
• A strong third quarter in the Fastening Systems business unit leads to significantly higher EBIT; profitability clearly in the double-digit range, even including the Tie Technologies business unit
• Ø working capital only slightly higher (€65.9 million following €59.0 million); Ø working capital intensity much lower from 24.2% to 18.4%

Fastening Systems Business Unit

Very positive business performance after nine months

• Unexpectedly high demand in China; current high-speed projects in China have been largely completed; sales growth also achieved in Italy and Poland
• Value added almost doubled due to improved earnings and lower capital costs compared to the previous year (Ø capital employed and WACC lower)
• Orders received in China do not reach the previous year's level despite an €18 million order in the third quarter of 2017; however improved order situation in Poland and Italy

Tie Technologies Business Unit

New business unit is performing in line with expectations

• Good sales development in Mexico as well as in the Transit area; continued weak demand from Class I operators; typically lower seasonal sales in the third quarter, also influenced by the weaker US dollar
• Value added burdened by high goodwill and additional impacts of the purchase price allocation
• More than 90% of the orders received in the USA; developments in orders received generally in line with expectations despite a weak third quarter

Customized Modules Division (CM)

Continued weak demand in the USA, the order situation continues to improve

• Lower sales especially from France and Sweden compared to the previous year; noticeable sales growth particularly in the Netherlands, Poland and Morocco
• Weak demand in the USA continues to burden sales and EBIT; a slight recovery is expected over the course of 2018; profitability benefits by the reversal of an impairment as a result of an improved outlook in China
• Volume of orders received up in the third quarter (Q3/2017: €143.2 million, Q3/2016: €91.8 million), increase in orders received primarily in Poland

	1–9/2016	8.8

		Value added	1–9/2017	(3.6)
9/30/2016	9/30/2017	(€ million)	1–9/2016	(5.2)

• Very positive sales development in HSG segment (including sales of vehicles and components in China); the share of sales outside Germany above 40%
• EBIT after nine months above the previous year primarily due to higher contributions to earnings from the High Speed Grinding segment (HSG)
• Book-to-bill ratio of approximately 1.0; orders received include seven HSG-city for the Chinese market; the previous year included a multi-year framework agreement for highspeed grinding in Germany

Orders received in € million

Transportation Division

Division again records losses in the 2017 fiscal year

• Sales increase primarily through higher sales of type DE 18 locomotives; some deliveries originally expected in Q4 are being postponed until 2018
• EBIT significantly below previous year, among other things, due to the temporarily lower service business; significant increases in sales and EBIT expected in the fourth quarter
• Order backlog remains high; type DE 18 locomotives set the European standard with already 92 sold units
