Interim Group MANAGEMENT REPORT

Economic environment

The firefighting industry is facing a range of different challenges in 2016 as well. Trends in demand should remain stable on the North American market. In Europe, the industry is recording a slight upturn. Demand from Asia and the Middle East can be expected to decline in 2016 due to the deteriorating general economic situation there and the low oil price.

How the fire equipment markets develop will depend on the availability of public-sector funding. On some developed markets, continuing budget consolidation efforts mean that demand for fire service equipment will remain muted. In several emerging markets, the low price of oil and political unrest is leading to investments in firefighting technology being postponed. In Russia, for example, there is still considerable need, but demand is heavily in decline due to the political situation, the low price of oil, and the currency situation.

Generally speaking, the countries currently investing in firefighting technology and equipment are mainly those where there is continuous procurement or elevated security requirements following natural or terrorist disasters.

Development of revenues and earnings

Revenues

The Rosenbauer Group generated revenues of € 602.9 million in the first three quarters of 2016 (1-9/2015: € 627.5 million). Although revenues climbed by 4% to € 219.5 million in the third quarter of the current year, this did not yet compensate for the decline in revenue in the first half of the year. While decreases in deliveries were observed in some Middle Eastern countries, deliveries were on the rise in North America and parts of Europe.

The revenues of G&S Brandschutztechnik of € 12.2 million were included in the consolidated financial statements for the first time in the reporting period. At the start of 2016, Rosenbauer acquired 100% of shares in G&S Brandschutztechnik AG, Mogendorf, Germany, from its previous owner company. The G&S Group operates in the field of preventive firefighting with stationary extinguishing systems and fire alarm systems.

In July 2016, Rosenbauer International AG founded a joint venture for business with hydraulic firefighting and rescue platforms together with the Italian manufacturer CTE SpA, based in Rovereto. The new company Rosenbauer Rovereto Srl, in which Rosenbauer holds a 70% interest, specializes in the development, production, and servicing of hydraulic firefighting and rescue platforms. Last year, the company generated revenues of around € 10 million with 30 employees in firefighting platform business. The revenues of Rosenbauer Rovereto of € 0.4 million were included in the consolidated financial statements for the first time in the reporting period.

Result of operations

In the first three quarters, EBIT was on a similar scale to the previous year at € 27.3 million (1-9/2015: € 27.6 million). Owing to delays in deliveries due to the political situation in the Gulf States and the resulting lower coverage of fixed costs, combined with lower gross margins on orders delivered, the EBIT margin was still at the previous year's level after the third quarter at 4.5% (1-9/2015: 4.4%).

Owing to the remeasurement of forward transactions, net finance costs deteriorated year-on-year to € -2.3 million (1-9/2015: € -1.7 million); the results of the companies in Russia and Spain that are accounted for using the equity method amounted to € 0.2 million in the first nine months of the current year (1-9/2015: € 0.5 million).

Consolidated EBT for the reporting period amounted to € 25.3 million (1-9/2015: € 26.4 million).

Orders

The Rosenbauer Group recorded a modest order development in the first three quarters of the year, with incoming orders amounting to € 588.8 million (1-9/2015: € 698.6 million). While incoming orders in the MENA segment declined significantly yearon-year due to the political situation and the low oil price, those in the CEEU segment saw a substantial increase. The order backlog as of September 30, 2016 was down on the previous year's figure at € 803.5 million (September 30, 2015: € 846.1 million). This order backlog gives the Rosenbauer Group a satisfactory level of capacity utilization at its production facilities and good visibility for the next ten months.

Segment development

In line with the organizational structure, segment reporting is presented based on the five defined areas or sales regions: the CEEU area (Central and Eastern Europe), the NISA area (Northern Europe, Iberia, South America, Africa), the MENA area (Middle East, North Africa), the APAC area (Asia-Pacific) and the NOMA area (North & Middle America). In addition to the segments managed by sales markets, the SFP (Stationary Fire Protection) segment is shown as a further segment in internal reporting.

CEEU area segment

The CEEU area comprises 24 European countries from the Baltic to the Bosporus, including all Eastern European and German-speaking countries, Italy, and Turkey. The CEEU area includes the production locations in Leonding (plants I and II), Traun and Neidling in Austria, Karlsruhe and Luckenwalde in Germany, Radgona in Slovenia and, since July 2016, Rosenbauer Rovereto in Italy. The plants produce products for sale in CEEU, but also deliver products to all other areas. The CEEU area also includes the Oberglatt sales and service location in Switzerland.

Business performance in the first three quarters of 2016 Revenues in the CEEU area segment climbed to € 200.1 million in the period under review after € 150.3 million in the same period of the previous year. This growth was attributable mainly to increased exports from Austria and Germany to Turkey in particular and to a positive development in revenues on the German market. The CEEU area segment thus contributed around 33% (1-9/2015: 24%) of consolidated revenues. As a result of low gross margins on orders delivered and the revenue-related decrease in the earnings contribution from business in Austria, EBIT was still down year-onyear at € 1.4 million (1-9/2015: € 3.3 million).

NISA area segment

The NISA sales area comprises 78 countries, including almost all African and South American and the European countries from the North Cape to Gibraltar. The NISA area includes the Linares production location in Spain and the sales and service locations in Madrid (Spain), Holmfirth (UK), Chambéry (France) and Johannesburg (South Africa). The plant in Linares supplies its products mainly to the markets of the NISA area but is also the center of competence for forest fires and towing vehicles.

Business performance in the first three quarters of 2016 The revenues of the NISA area segment were in decline at € 52.2 million in the period under review (1-9/2015: € 62.7 million). EBIT was still at a low level of € 0.4 million (1-9/2015: € 0.4 million) as a result of weaker deliveries.

MENA area segment

The MENA area comprises 13 countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The area includes the KAEC (King Abdullah Economic City) production site in Saudi Arabia that opened in April 2016 and a number of service locations in the region. The vehicles for the MENA area are mostly produced in the plants of the CEEU, NISA and NOMA areas. Direct contact with the customers through an extensive service network is a key success factor in the region.

Business performance in the first three quarters of 2016

Revenues in the MENA area segment amounted to € 66.2 million in the period under review after € 153.2 million in the same period of the previous year. The decline is due firstly to the relatively high delivery volume to Saudi Arabia in the same period of the previous year and secondly to delays in deliveries in the first half of the year. Despite the decline in deliveries, segment EBIT increased to € 7.6 million in the reporting period (1-9/2015: € 6.3 million) as a result of currency effects and due to the composition of the products delivered.

APAC area segment

The APAC area comprises 71 countries, including the entire ASEAN-Pacific region, several countries of the Middle East, China, India, and Russia. APAC's production facilities are located in Singapore and Moscow. It has its own sales and service locations in China, Brunei, and the Philippines and the area has a wide partner sales network.

Business performance in the first three quarters of 2016 Revenues in the APAC area segment remained at the previous year's level at € 113.9 million in the period under review (1-9/2015: € 112.9 million). Segment EBIT for the first nine months of 2016 increased to € 7.1 million after € 6.4 million in the same period of the previous year due to deliveries of highly profitable orders.

NOMA area segment

The NOMA area comprises primarily the US, Canada, and countries in Central America and the Caribbean. The area's production facilities are located in Lyons (SD), Wyoming (MN), and Fremont (NE). The fire service vehicles are manufactured to US standards and most of them are delivered to the NOMA sales area, but also to customers in the MENA, NISA, and APAC areas.

Business performance in the first three quarters of 2016 Revenues in the NOMA area segment were increased by 8% in the first three quarters of 2016. Revenues in the period under review amounted to € 156.5 million after € 145.3 million in the same period of the previous year. This growth was attributable to a higher delivery volume on the North America domestic market. Segment EBIT remained at the high level of the previous year at € 11.4 million (1-9/2015: € 12.0 million).

SFP segment

The SFP (Stationary Fire Protection) segment comprises all products and solutions for measures to prevent or reduce the emergence and spread of fires. Preventive firefighting is mainly ensured by structural measures in addition to stationary fire detection and extinguishing systems.

A key step was taken at the beginning of 2016 with the acquisition of G&S Brandschutztechnik AG, based in Mogendorf, Germany. This significantly expanded the portfolio in industrial fire protection to include sprinklers, deluge, and gas extinguishing systems and fire alarm systems. Rosenbauer is therefore now a full-liner in preventive firefighting.

Business performance in the first three quarters of 2016 Revenues in the SFP segment climbed to € 14.0 million in the first three quarters of 2016 after € 3.1 million in the same period of the previous year thanks to the first-time inclusion of G&S Brandschutztechnik in consolidation. Segment EBIT was still negative in the period under review at € -0.5 million (1-9/2015: € -0.8 million).

Financial and net assets position

For reasons specific to the industry, the structure of the statements of financial position during the year is characterized by high working capital. This is due to the turnaround times, lasting several months, for vehicles in production. In addition, the high intra-year level of total assets of € 708.9 million (September 30, 2015: € 647.0 million) is attributable to the increase in property, plant and equipment financed by equity.

As a result of the upcoming delivery volume in the current year, inventories rose to € 197.9 million in the reporting period (September 30, 2015: € 189.6 million), while construction contracts remained at a high level of € 109.0 million (September 30, 2015: € 102.9 million). As a result of increased deliveries before the reporting date, receivables from customers were up year-on-year at € 194.2 million (September 30, 2015: € 176.1 million). The Group's net debt (the net amount of interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and securities) is therefore still at a high level of € 266.5 million (September 30, 2015: € 253.9 million).

Owing to the high level of working capital – particularly due to high customer receivables – the cash flow from operating activities was still negative at € -24.7 million (1-9/2015: € -67.0 million). An improvement in the cash flow from operating activities is expected by the end of the year.

INVESTMENTS

Capital expenditure amounted to € 17.3 million in the reporting period (1-9/2015: € 17.0 million). Plant I in Leonding is undergoing reorganization in the current year with a view to increasing efficiency and profitability, with a redesign of firefighting system assembling, sheet metal processing, and tube manufacturing.

Also, in April 2016, the new plant in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), about 125 kilometers north of Jeddah, was completed and began production of vehicles for the local market. A total of about € 5 million was invested in the construction of the production location.

To accommodate growth, Rosenbauer Schweiz expanded its location in Oberglatt. The new building with an investment volume of around CHF 5 million was adapted to current customer requirements. With a total area of 2,302 m² and cubic content of 11,557 m³, the existing operating space has been expanded

significantly. The most important part of the new building is the workshop with its four lines, each with a length of 24 meters and a height of 6 meters, and the newly purchased sheet metal processing machinery. In addition, 900 m² is available for office workstations and 700 m² for storage.

The Group's investment volume will be lower in the current year than in the previous year, but will still be considerably higher than depreciation due to the reorganization of Plant I in Leonding and expansion in Germany.

Outlook

There was a decline in demand for fire service equipment in some Asian countries in the first few months of 2016. As a result of the political unrest and the low oil price, there is no discernible trend indicating that it will be possible to compensate for this weak demand by the end of the year. Furthermore, the political situation in the Gulf States is also leading to delays in deliveries in the current year.

The resulting weaker development of revenues means that – despite positive effects from the measures to enhance efficiency and reduce costs – the originally forecast improvement in earnings for the 2016 financial year cannot be achieved and earnings are instead expected to be on a similar scale to the previous year.

Other events

To mark its 150th anniversary, Rosenbauer presented a concept study with which the Austrian fire equipment supplier once again underpinned its claim to technology leadership. The Concept Fire Truck (CFT) provides a foretaste of the fire service vehicle of the future. The development engineers specifically focused on the vehicle architecture that arises when the future requirements for fire departments are taken into account systematically and without comprise in the vehicle development. The Concept Fire Truck is not a further development, but rather represents a completely new approach. It is a concept study that focuses on the aim of serving the necessary functions in the firefighting environment while also being more ergonomic, universal, and environmentally friendly than anything previously seen in this sector.

Between the end of the reporting period and the time of this report being prepared, there have been no other events of particular significance for the Group that would have altered its net assets, financial position, or result of operations.

Material risks and uncertainties in the remaining months of the fiscal and risk management

Rosenbauer is exposed to various opportunities and risks in the course of its global business activities. The ongoing identification, appraisal, and controlling of these risks are an integral part of the management, planning, and controlling process. The risk management system builds on the organizational, reporting, and leadership structures in place within the Group and supplements these with specific elements needed for proper risk assessment. A detailed presentation of the opportunities and risks faced by the Group can be found in the 2015 annual report.

Sector and company-specific risks

Risks to the fire safety business arising from changes in overall political or legal conditions are very difficult to protect against. However, given that most customers operate in the public sector, it is rare that they cancel orders or default on payment. Political crises and embargoes can temporarily limit access to certain markets.

Operating risks

Manufacturing activities necessitate a thorough examination of risks along the entire value chain. In view of today's ever shorter innovation cycles, research and development work is becoming increasingly significant. The production risks that occur are monitored on an ongoing basis using a series of key performance indicators (productivity, assembly and throughput times, production numbers, etc.). The central controlling element in the vehicle manufacturing operations is "concurrent costing", whereby variance analysis is used to monitor the production costs of every single order. To even out changes in capacity utilization at individual locations, Rosenbauer's manufacturing processes operate on a Group-wide basis and the company also outsources construction contracts to external partners. In the event of a severe downtrend on the market, this keeps the risk of insufficient capacity utilization within manageable bounds.

Legal risks

Rosenbauer International AG and its subsidiaries face legal proceedings in the course of their business operations.

An antitrust lawsuit has been filed against a company of the Rosenbauer Group. If this legal action is upheld it could result in damages and fines. Legal proceedings are pending against Rosenbauer International AG in Austria for an alleged infringement of provisions of the Foreign Trade Act with commercial products. In Canada, legal proceedings are pending against Rosenbauer International AG and a number of Rosenbauer Group companies due to an alleged product defect. As a realistic assessment of the financial risks of the matters described above is not yet possible at the present time, the Group has not taken any accounting measures to date.

Financial risks

The international nature of the Group's activities gives rise to interest and currency-related risks that are hedged by the use of suitable instruments. A financial policy that applies throughout the Group stipulates which instruments are permitted. Operating risks are hedged with derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, FX forwards, and FX options. These transactions are conducted solely to hedge risks and not for the purposes of trading or speculation. Please refer to the details in the notes to the 2015 annual report in this context. In the case of deliveries to countries with increased political or economic risk, public, and private export insurance is generally taken out for the purpose of protection.

Assessment of overall risk

Rosenbauer considers that it is still well positioned to meet the demands made of it by the market, the economic environment, and the international competition. Based on the analysis of currently discernible risks, there are no indications of any risks that – either singly or in conjunction with other risks – might jeopardize the Rosenbauer Group's continued existence. This applies both to the results of past business activity and to activities that are planned or have already been initiated.

Explanatory Notes as of September 30, 2016

1. Information on the company and the basis of preparation

The Rosenbauer Group is an international group of companies whose parent company is Rosenbauer International AG, Austria. Its main focus is on the production of firefighting vehicles, the development and manufacture of firefighting systems, equipping vehicles and their crews and preventive firefighting. The Group's head office is located at Paschinger Strasse 90, 4060 Leonding, Austria.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 were prepared in accordance with the principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed in the EU, notably IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The condensed interim consolidated financial statements therefore do not contain all the information or explanatory notes stipulated by IFRS for consolidated financial statements as of the end of the fiscal year, and should instead be read in conjunction with the IFRS consolidated financial statements published by the company for fiscal year 2015. With the exception of standards that have come into effect in the interim, the interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the same accounting policies as those applied as of December 31, 2015.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in thousands of euro (T€) and, unless expressly stated, this also applies to the figures shown in the notes.

2. New accounting standards

No new standards have been applied early. The following new standards that are required to be applied in the interim reporting period do not have any effect on the interim consolidated financial statements of Rosenbauer International AG.

3. Companies included in consolidation

At the start of 2016, 100% of shares in G&S Brandschutztechnik AG, Mogendorf, Germany, were acquired via a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosenbauer International AG. The G&S Group comprises four companies. All companies are included in consolidation for the first time as of January 1, 2016.

The G&S Group operates in the field of preventive firefighting. It designs, manufactures, installs and services both stationary standard and special extinguishing systems and fire alarm systems. The Group has VdS approval as an installer for all major trades and builds plants worldwide in line with all known international standards. Last year the company generated revenues of € 14.3 million with 130 employees.

With its acquisition of the G&S Group, Rosenbauer is expanding its portfolio in preventive firefighting and paving the way for its planned growth in this segment.

In the months January to September 2016, the newly acquired companies of the G&S Group generated revenues of € 12,247.6 thousand and earnings after taxes of € 956.3 thousand.

By way of an asset deal, the Slovenian production company Rosenbauer d.o.o. acquired 100% of the shares in the Slovenian company Mi Star d.o.o. in January 2016. The company is included in consolidation for the first time as of January 1, 2016.

Mi Star has worked for Rosenbauer as a sales partner for two decades and exclusively sells firefighting vehicles, extinguishing technology, and equipment. Last year the company generated revenues of € 5.5 million with eleven employees.

The assessment of the purchase price allocation for the companies included in consolidation for 2016 is provisional. The final purchase price allocation will be completed within twelve months of the acquisition date when all the bases for determining the fair values have been analyzed in detail. Further details on the provisional purchase price allocation can be found in the IFRS consolidated financial statements published for the 2015 financial year.

Effective June 1, 2016, Rosenbauer Karlsruhe GmbH & Co. KG acquired the remaining shares (16%) in Service18 S.A.R.L (FR) from the former co-partner. Rosenbauer Karlsruhe GmbH & Co. KG thus holds a 100% interest in Service18 S.A.R.L (FR).

In July 2016, Rosenbauer International AG acquired shares in a company founded by the Italian manufacturer CTE SpA in 2016. The company operates under the name Rosenbauer Rovereto S.r.l and is based in Rovereto. Rosenbauer's share in this company amounts to 70%. The foundation became legally effective when the company was entered in the commercial register in July 2016. From that point on, the company will be included in the consolidated financial statements as a fully consolidated subsidiary.

Preliminary purchase price allocation on the basis of the calculated fair values was as follows as of the acquisition date:

in € thousand 2016
Purchase price paid in cash 3,150.0
Total purchase price 3,150.0
Acquired net assets (100%) 1,184.5
Pro rata net assets (70%) 829.2
Non-controlling interests measured at amount of pro rata net assets (30%) 355.4
Goodwill 2,320.8

The goodwill arising from the foundation of the company essentially reflects the anticipated benefits from expanding the market and from synergies. The goodwill cannot be used for tax purposes.

The purchase price allocation is provisional. The final purchase price allocation will be completed within twelve months of the acquisition date when all the bases for determining the fair values have been analyzed in detail.

The acquired net assets of € 1,184.5 thousand break down as follows:

in € thousand July 7, 2016
Non-current assets
Property, plant and equipment 247.9
Intangible assets 322.6
570.5
Current assets
Inventories 789.2
Cash and cash equivalents 138.2
927.4
Current liabilities
Other current liabilities 313.4
313.4
Acquired net assets 1,184.5

The fair value of the receivables is € 0.0 thousand. The gross amount of the receivables is also € 0.0 thousand.

The net cash flow from the acquisition is as follows:

Net cash flow from investing activities 2016
Purchase price paid in cash (3,150.0)
less cash and cash equivalents 138.2
Net cash flow from the acquisition (3,011.8 )

At the start of September, Rosenbauer International AG's stationary fire protection operations were integrated in the company Rosenbauer Brandschutz GmbH with retroactive effect from January 1, 2016.

In accordance with IFRS 10, the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 include two Austrian and 24 foreign subsidiaries, all of which are legally and actually controlled by Rosenbauer International AG and therefore included in consolidation. The shares in the associate in Russia (PA "Fire-fighting special technics", Rosenbauer share: 49%) and the shares in the joint venture in Spain (Rosenbauer Ciansa S.L., Rosenbauer share: 50%) – established with the co-owner and Managing Director of Rosenbauer Española – are accounted for using the equity method.

4. Seasonal fluctuations

Owing to the high degree of dependency on public sector clients, the usual pattern in the fire equipment sector is for a very high proportion of its deliveries to be made in the second half of the year, especially in the final quarter. There can therefore be considerable differences – in terms of revenues and earnings – between the respective interim reporting periods. In the period under review there were no unusual developments over and above the seasonal fluctuations characteristic of the industry. Further information on developments in the period under review can be found in the interim Group management report.

5. Significant effect of estimates

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires the Executive Board to make assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts and reporting of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the period under review. The actual amounts incurred can deviate from these estimates. Deviations from estimates had no significant effect on the financial statements in the reporting period.

6. Related party disclosures

There has been no change in the composition of related parties since December 31, 2015. The following transactions were conducted with related parties in the period under review:

Joint venture Management
in € thousand 1-9/2015 1-9/2016 1-9/2015 1-9/2016
Sales of goods 8.8 1.8
Purchase of goods 3,323.9 1,337.4
Receivables 0.4 0.0 373.7 1,048.4
Liabilities 920.4 641.2
Rental agreement for land 189.8 258.2

7. Income tax

Income tax for the period under review have been recognized on the basis of the best possible estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the fiscal year as a whole. Tax on income for 1-9/2016 break down into € 3,220.5 thousand (1-9/2015: € 3,455.6 thousand) in current income tax expenses and € 2,466.5 thousand (1-9/2015: € 1,909.9 thousand) in changes in deferred income tax.

8. Segment reporting

In accordance with IFRS 8 (Operating Segments), segments must be defined and segment information disclosed on the basis of internal controlling and reporting. This results in segment reporting presented in line with the management approach of internal reporting.

The Group is managed by the chief operating decision makers on the basis of sales markets. The development of the market segments is particularly significant in internal reporting. Segmentation is based on the division of the sales regions (areas) defined by the chief operating decision makers. In addition to the segments managed by sales markets (areas), the SFP (Stationary Fire Production) segment is shown as a further segment in internal reporting. This segment was shown as "Other segment" in the 2015 financial year.

The following reportable segments have been defined in line with the internal management information system: The CEEU area (Central and Eastern Europe), the NISA area (Northern Europe, Iberia, South America, Africa), the MENA area (Middle East, North Africa), the APAC area (Asia-Pacific), the NOMA area (North & Middle America) and SFP (Stationary Fire Production).

The chief operating decision makers monitor the EBIT of the areas separately in order to make decisions on the allocation of resources and to determine the units' earnings power. Segment performance is assessed on the basis of EBIT using the same definition as in the consolidated financial statements. However, income taxes are managed on a uniform Group basis and are not allocated to the individual segments. Transfer prices between the segments are at arm's length. A condensed presentation of the segments in accordance with IAS 34 and further information on their composition and development can be found in the interim Group management report.

9. Events after the end of the reporting period

No further significant events occurred by the time of the preparation of the Quarterly Report.

10. Contingent claims and contingent liabilities

Rosenbauer International AG has not issued any liability statements for the benefit of non-Group companies. Also, as was the case at the end of the year, there are no contingent assets or liabilities from which material receivables or liabilities will result.

11. Disclosures on financial instruments

Interest rate and FX risks are hedged using derivative financial instruments such as FX forwards and interest rate caps. While some of these transactions are hedges from a business perspective, they do not meet the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39. The changes in the fair value of these financial instruments are recognized immediately in profit or loss in the consolidated income statement. Derivatives that meet the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 are used solely to hedge future cash flows (i.e. cash flow hedges) and are presented separately in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2016 the fair value of hedges recognized in the income statement was € -334.1 thousand (September 30, 2015: € -4,371.2 thousand), and that of the hedges recognized in other comprehensive income was € -4,589.3 thousand (September 30, 2015: € -6,201.3 thousand).

The following hierarchy is used in the consolidated financial statements to determine and report the fair values of financial instruments by measurement method:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices on active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: methods in which all input parameters with a significant effect on the recognized fair value are either directly or indirectly observable.
  • Level 3: methods that use input parameters with a significant effect on the recognized fair value that are not based on observable market data.

For all classes of financial instruments other than non-current interest-bearing loan liabilities, the carrying amount is equal to the fair value. The inputs for calculating the fair value of non-current loan liabilities bearing interest at fixed rates are assigned to level 2 of the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy. The fair value is calculated using a DCF method, applying a discount rate that reflects the Group's interest rate on borrowed capital as of the end of the reporting period. The fair value of non-current loan liabilities bearing interest at fixed rates is € 69,580.8 thousand (September 30, 2015: € 60,208.2 thousand).

The financial investments available for sale shown as level 1 include listed equities and units in funds. The fair value of currency forwards and interest rate swaps, which are shown as level 2, is determined by reference to bank valuations based on recognized mathematical measurement models (discounted cash flow method on the basis of current interest and FX future yields based on interbank mid-rates as of the end of the reporting period).
