HISTORICALLY HIGH ORDER BACKLOG SECURES GROWTH COURSE AND UNDERLINES MARKET DYNAMICS
Closing of the Sateba transaction continues to be expected within the next few months
FIRST QUARTER IN LINE WITH EXPECTATIONS

| ROCE | % | 7.5 | 3.0 |
Sales revenues still 6.6 percent below previous year; noticeable decline as anticipated in Core Components and Customized Modules, while Lifecycle Solutions continues to grow strongly
EBIT, as expected, significantly below the previous year due to the decline in sales and a lower-margin project mix at Core Components as well as transaction costs incurred for the Sateba acquisition; EBIT margin consequently 3.8 percentage points below the previous year's figure at a normalized level
Net income benefited from tax income due to the capitalization of deferred taxes on loss carryforwards in the German tax group
Free cash flow negative in the first quarter, as is typical for the season; still significantly below the previous year, mainly due to the lower operating result and higher payments for capital expenditure
Capital expenditure slightly above previous year's level; Customized Modules with significant increase due to capacity expansion
Value added significantly below previous year due to EBIT development and slightly higher average capital employed
WORKING CAPITAL AND NET FINANCIAL DEBT NOTICEABLY IMPROVED YEAR-ON-YEAR

Equity significantly improved compared to the end of the same quarter of the previous year, mainly due to the proceeds from the capital increase in November 2024
Closing working capital with typical seasonal increase in Q1, reduced by 8.3 % compared to the end of Q1 2024 ; Average working capital intensity again below the 20 percent mark in the first quarter and slightly improved compared to the same quarter of the previous year
Closing capital employed slightly higher compared to year-end 2024 due to the typical seasonal build-up of working capital in the first quarter
Net financial debt increased significantly compared to year-end 2024 due to the seasonally negative free cash flow; noticeably improved compared to the previous year, in particular thanks to the proceeds from the 2024 capital increase

Orders received slightly below previous year, book-to-bill ratio at 1.35 (previous year: 1.30); Orders received in the first quarter were below the previous year, especially in the North America region (VTT) and in China (LS, VFS); in contrast, Vossloh achieved higher orders received in particular in the UK (VFS), Australia (VTT) and Germany (LS, CM)
Order backlog exceeds the €900 million mark and is 15.2 percent higher than the previous year; development reflects the continued momentum in the rail infrastructure market; Customized Modules significantly higher than the previous year, in particular thanks to a higher order backlog at the leading company in France; Core Components also significantly higher than the previous year due to a higher order backlog in China; Lifecycle Solutions below previous year, especially in Germany, as the DB framework agreements signed in September 2024 worth well over €100 million are only included in the order backlog upon call-off
NOTE ON THE EFFECTS OF THE BRAND LICENSE FEE
Since the 2025 financial year, Vossloh AG has levied a brand license fee from the operating units. These fees reflect the value of brand usage within the Vossloh Group.
The key performance indicators EBIT, EBITDA, EBIT margin, EBITDA margin, Value added and ROCE of the divisions have been subject to an accounting impact since the beginning of 2025. At the level of the Vossloh Group as a whole, the introduction of the brand license fee has no impact on these financial indicators. The introduction of the brand license fee is expected to have a positive effect on the Group's tax rate.
At division level, the comparability of the key figures EBIT, EBITDA and its corresponding margins, Value added and ROCE with the previous year is limited due to the brand license fee. In order to enable a transparent presentation of business development, the effects of the brand license fee - assuming that they would have been incurred in the previous year - are reported on EBIT and EBITDA. The effect on the value-oriented key figures (Value added, ROCE) is not shown explicitly, but the respective effect on earnings can also be used as a comparative figure when evaluating these key figures.

START OF DELIVERIES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ALREADY WON IN CHINA IN Q2/2025

Orders received up by 32.1 percent; increase mainly due to major order from the UK; order backlog up by 46.4 percent, significantly higher order backlog than at the same time last year, especially in China
Sales revenues down 3.4 percent on the previous year; still well below the previous year's level in China in particular, largely offset by higher sales in Algeria, Egypt, USA, India and Poland, among others
Value added down compared to the previous year, in particular due to lower-margin project mix, as well as lower due to brand license fees


CAUTIOUS START TO THE YEAR, CONTINUED POSITIVE OUTLOOK FOR THE US MARKET

Orders received in the first quarter significantly below the previous year; decline is due to lower orders received in the USA, Mexico and Canada
Sales revenues significantly below previous year's figure; significant decline in sales revenues in Mexico mainly due to project-related reasons, Australia and USA also below previous year's level
Value added noticeably below the previous year's level in line with sales development, also burdened by brand license fees in the reporting year

VOSSLOH CONFIRMS OUTLOOK IN THE EXISTING GROUP STRUCTURE
Expected increase in sales is based in particular on higher sales revenues in China, the USA and Germany. Lifecycle Solutions division again with strongest growth momentum.
Further noticeable increase in EBIT expected. EBIT margin forecast for 2025 between 8.5 percent and 9.5 percent.
Improvement in earnings will also have a positive effect on Value added. Weighted average cost of capital before taxes (WACC) remains at 9.5 percent.
Subject to the closing of the transaction, which is expected in the coming months, Vossloh continues to expect an additional sales contribution of around €30 million per month and an additional EBIT contribution before purchase price allocation effects of around €4 million per month. The expected earnings contribution for the financial year 2025 depends on the exact timing of the closing.
