Orders received remain at a very high level (book-to-bill at 1.42); previous year's figure cannot be reached due to lower orders received in Mexico; order backlog has increased significantly, mainly due to orders from China

Significant decline in sales is mainly attributable to China, but also lower sales revenues particularly in Mexico following the expiry of a new construction project are also contributing to the expected decline

VOSSLOH GROUP: OUTLOOK

VOSSLOH EXPECTS NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN EARNINGS IN 2024

Sales revenues

2023: €1.21 billion
Outlook 2024: €1.16 billion to €1.26 billion
/ Despite the completion of some major new construction projects, mainly in Mexico and Serbia, which contributed to exceptionally strong sales growth in 2023, Vossloh expects sales in 2024 - based on the mid-point of the sales guidance - to be roughly on a par with the previous year based on overall positive market demand.

Value added
2023: $€ 18.9$ million Outlook 2024: $€ 7.5$ million to $€ 22.5$ million
/ The weighted average cost of capital before taxes (WACC) relevant for internal management raised to 9.5 percent in the 2024 financial year (2023: 8.5 percent) as a result of the general interest rate trend.

EBIT

2023: $€ 98.5$ million
Outlook 2024: $€ 100$ million to $€ 115$ million
/ A further year-on-year increase in EBIT to over $€ 100$ million is forecast for the 2024 financial year (despite transaction costs of around $€ 10$ million in connection with the planned acquisition of Sateba). Based on the mid-point of the sales guidance, the forecast corridor for the EBIT margin is between 8.3 percent and 9.5 percent (2023: 8.1 percent).
