1 Investments relate to rights and property, plant and equipment (without usage rights according to IFRS 16)
The global economy is proving resilient at the midpoint of 2025 despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties. This is evident from the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) latest World Economic Outlook Update. It states that the global economy is expected to grow by 3.0% in the current year, a slight increase compared to the April forecast due to a more robust first quarter. This development is the result of frontloading investments and imports in anticipation of feared tariff increases, among other things.
Average growth in developed economies is expected to be 1.5% in 2025. Despite a weak first quarter, the US economy is expected to expand by 1.9%, supported by investments and the effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed in July. The eurozone will continue to experience moderate growth; the forecast has been raised slightly to 1.0%. China is expected to grow by 4.8%, and India maintains its position with an increase of 6.4%.
At the same time, the decline in global inflation is slowing; however, overall it remains in line with expectations. For 2025, the IMF expects an increase of 4.2%, with a further decline to 3.6% in 2026. In the US, inflation is likely to remain above the 2% target due to tariff-related effects and stronger demand.
The Rosenbauer Group generated revenues of €604.7 million in the first half of 2025 (1–6/2024: €534.6 million). The Group's business volume in the first half of the year was therefore 13.1% higher than the same period of the previous year. This was due to a higher number of vehicle deliveries and more business with equipment, components and services. Sales in the vehicles product segment alone increased by 18.2%. At the same time, sales in preventive fire protection have more than halved compared to the previous year.
Consolidated revenues are currently divided across the different sales regions as follows: 44.4% Europe area, 10.8% Middle East & Africa area, 11.4% Asia-Pacific area, 31.9% Americas area and 1.5% in the Preventive Fire Protection segment.
Cost of sales increased by 12.8% to €503.7 million in the reporting period (1–6/2024: €446.7 million). As a result, gross profit amounted to €101.0 million (1–6/2024: €87.8 million). The gross profit margin increased to 16.7% (1–6/2024: 16.4%).
In the first half of 2025, the operating profit was impacted by non-recurring charges (Area Americas, Preventive Fire Protection). EBITDA fell to €28.2 million compared to the same period of the previous year (1–6/2024: €29.3 million). EBIT amounted to €7.4 million (1–6/2024: €14.4 million).
Due to an adverse exchange rate development of the US dollar compared to the reporting date of December 31, 2024, the financial result increased slightly from €-17.4 million to €-17.9 million. Consolidated EBT was €–10.5 million at the end of the reporting period (1–6/2024: €–3.0 million).
From January to June 2025, the Rosenbauer Group continued to record very strong order intake of €705.2 million (1–6/2024: €744.2 million). Two of five segments succeeded in boosting their order intake. In the United States, the discussion about tariffs and counter-tariffs has negatively affected dealers' ordering behavior. The order backlog continued to grow and amounted to €2,351.5 million at the end of the first half of 2025 (June 30, 2024: €2,017.2 million). With this order book, the Rosenbauer Group has a solid basis for further profitable revenue growth.
Segment reporting is presented based on four defined sales regions: Europe area, Middle East & Africa area, Asia-Pacific area, and the Americas area. Preventive Fire Protection (PFP) is presented as a separate segment.
The Europe area comprises the European countries, with the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) as its historic domestic market.
The Europe area includes the Group companies Rosenbauer International and Rosenbauer Österreich based in Leonding (Austria), Rosenbauer Deutschland in Luckenwalde (Germany), Rosenbauer Karlsruhe (Germany), Rosenbauer Slovenia in Radgona (Slovenia), Rosenbauer Italia in Andrian (Italy), Rosenbauer Rovereto (Italy), Rosenbauer Schweiz in Oberglatt (Switzerland), Rosenbauer Polska in Lomianki (Poland), Rosenbauer Española in Madrid (Spain), Rosenbauer France in Meyzieu (France), and Rosenbauer UK in Meltham (UK).
The plants in the Europe area (Leonding, Neidling, Karlsruhe, Radgona, and Rovereto) produce for all areas, while the Luckenwalde plant primarily produces for the German market.
Revenues in the Europe area segment were €268.6 million at the end of the reporting period, slightly higher than the same period of the previous year (1–6/2024: €263.6 million). EBIT was higher at €12.5 million (1–6/2024: €10.1 million).
The Middle East & Africa area geographically comprises the countries in the Near and Middle East and Africa.
The Middle East & Africa area includes the Group companies Rosenbauer South Africa in Johannesburg (South Africa), Rosenbauer Saudi Arabia headquartered in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) with the production site in King Abdullah Economic City, and Rosenbauer MENA Trading – FZE (Dubai) with a subsidiary in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates).
1 International Monetary Fund, World Economic Outlook, Update July 29, 2025.
At €65.3 million, the Middle East & Africa area segment recorded significantly higher revenues compared with the same period of the previous year (1–6/2024: €41.0 million). EBIT amounted to €3.9 million (1–6/2024: €–0.3 million).
The Asia-Pacific area comprises the entire ASEAN-Pacific region, Japan, India, China, the CIS countries, and Turkey.
The Asia-Pacific area includes the Group companies S.K. Rosenbauer in Singapore, Rosenbauer Australia based in Brisbane, and Rosenbauer Fire Fighting Technology (Yunnan) in China. There are further sales and service locations in Brunei and the Philippines.
The Singapore plant produces vehicles for the Southeast Asian market.
In the Asia-Pacific area segment, revenues increased to €69.0 million year-on-year (1–6/2024: €41.9 million). EBIT improved to €4.4 million (1–6/2024: €3.8 million).
The Americas area comprises North and South America and the Caribbean.
In addition to the holding company Rosenbauer America, based in Lyons, the area also includes the production companies Rosenbauer Minnesota and Rosenbauer Motors in Wyoming (Minnesota), Rosenbauer South Dakota in Lyons (South Dakota), and Rosenbauer Aerials in Fremont (Nebraska).
Revenues in the Americas area segment increased to €193.1 million in the first six months of this year (1–6/2024: €166.9 million). EBIT was negative at €–4.8 million (1–6/2024: €1.5 million).
Preventive Fire Protection deals with the planning, installation, and maintenance of stationary firefighting and fire alarm systems. The segment is handled by the two Group companies Rosenbauer Brandschutz in Leonding (Austria) and Rosenbauer Brandschutz Deutschland in Mogendorf (Germany), as well as the locations in Gladbeck, Hilden, and Hattersheim. Rosenbauer is therefore a full-service supplier in this area.
At €8.7 million, the PFP segment achieved substantially lower revenues in the reporting period compared to the same period of the previous year (1–6/2024: €21.2 million). In light of the revised earnings forecast, a non-cash impairment of goodwill for Rosenbauer Brandschutz Deutschland amounting to €4.1 million was recorded and disclosed under other expenses in the consolidated profit and loss statement. The EBIT for the PFP segment stood at -8.6 million euros (1–6/2024: -0.6 million euros).
Total assets fell year-on-year to €1,293.8 million (June 30, 2024: €1,302.4 million). Current assets reported the largest change. These fell to €1,013.3 million as at the reporting date (June 30, 2024: €1,033.0 million). Inventories reduced to €684.8 million (June 30, 2024: €704.6 million). At €298.8 million, receivables and other assets were higher year-on-year (June 30, 2024: €274.4 million).
Net debt fell from the previous year's figure of €501.5 million to €314.3 million. This reflects both the inflow of funds from the successfully completed capital increase and continued improvement in trade working capital.
Trade working capital amounted to €477.4 million (1–6/2024: €536.1 million).
Cash flow from operating activities was negative in the reporting period at €–23.8 million (1–6/2024: €–50.0 million), which is significantly more than half the figure of the prior-year period. Positive cash flow from operating activities is expected for 2025 as a whole.
Investments2 amounted to €12.3 million in the reporting period (1–6/2024: €9.0 million). The completion of current investment projects and the further rollout of SAP S4/HANA are particularly important.
For the year 2025, the IMF expects moderate but broadly based global economic growth of 3.0%, followed by 3.1% in 2026. The current higher forecast compared with the spring reflects, in particular, early investments in international trade and a temporary easing of customs policies. However, this positive momentum is likely to weaken over the year as the frontloading effect diminishes and new uncertainties loom.
The firefighting industry is benefiting from well-filled order books. Improved supply chains are enabling accelerated production and delivery of vehicles and equipment, which should result in increased sales for manufacturers in 2025. The impact of the new US import tariffs on European goods, effective from August 7, 2025, is not yet to be determined.
With ongoing strong demand, the Rosenbauer Group maintains a solid order backlog. Assuming that tariff negotiations have no further negative effects on US business, the Group's Executive Board expects revenue of around €1.5 billion in 2025. In light of non-recurring charges in the first half of the year, the EBIT margin is expected to be around 5.5%.

The Rosenbauer Group is an international group of companies whose parent company, Rosenbauer International AG, is headquartered in Austria. Its main focus is on producing firefighting vehicles, developing and manufacturing firefighting systems, equipping vehicles and their crews, and providing preventive fire protection. The Group's head office is located at Paschinger Strasse 90, 4060 Leonding, Austria. The company is registered with the Linz Regional Court under commercial register number FN 78543 f and is listed on the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). They are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applicable in the European Union. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies applied as at December 31, 2024. 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 financial year, and should instead be read in conjunction with the IFRS consolidated financial statements published by the company for the 2024 financial year. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in thousands of euros (k€) (functional currency of Rosenbauer International AG); the figures in the explanatory notes are in k€ unless otherwise stated.
The accounting standards to be applied for the first time as of January 1, 2025, and relevant to the Rosenbauer Group have no material impact on the presentation of the Rosenbauer Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations as of June 30, 2025.
Applying IFRS 10, four domestic (December 31, 2024: four) and 26 foreign subsidiaries (December 31, 2024: 26) were included as at June 30, 2025, all of which are legally and actually controlled by Rosenbauer International AG and are therefore included in consolidation.
The equity method was used to account for the share in the joint venture in Spain (Rosenbauer Ciansa S.L.; Rosenbauer share 50%), which was founded jointly with the co-owner and managing director of Rosenbauer Española.
Owing to the high degree of dependency on public sector clients, the usual pattern in the firefighting industry is for a very high proportion of deliveries to be made in the second half of the year, especially in the final quarter. There can therefore be significant differences – in terms of revenues and earnings – between the respective interim reporting periods.
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires the Executive Board to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that have a significant impact on the presentation of the Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations. Detailed information on assumptions, estimates and judgments can be found in the consolidated financial statements of Rosenbauer International AG as of December 31, 2024.
In accordance with IFRS 8 (Operating Segments), the definition of segments and the segment information to be disclosed must be aligned with internal management 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 PFP (Preventive Fire Protection) segment is shown as a further segment in internal reporting.
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.
Segment reporting refers to the revenues and earnings generated by the individual areas both on their respective local markets and from export sales.

In the first six months of the 2025 financial year, development costs (mainly product development) amounting to €2,791 thousand (June 30, 2024: €3,328 thousand) were capitalized.
Goodwill declined from €5,331 thousand to €1,181 thousand due to impairment losses and foreign exchange differences.
Goodwill is assigned to the cash-generating units that are expected to profit from the business acquisition in order to perform impairment testing. A key criterion for qualifying as a cash-generating unit is its technical and economic independence for generating income. Impairment in a cash-generating unit is calculated by comparing its current amortized cost (including the goodwill assigned) with the value in use. The value in use is calculated as the present value of the associated future receipts and payments based on data from medium-term corporate planning.
Rosenbauer Brandschutz Deutschland GmbH did not perform as expected in the first half of 2025, and a triggering event was triggered due to the significant negative deviations from the budget in terms of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). The carrying amount was compared with the recoverable amount (value in use) and an impairment loss of €4,146 thousand was recognized. The goodwill of Rosenbauer Brandschutz Deutschland GmbH was fully impaired. The impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated income statement under other expenses.
No further indications of impairment were identified.
As at June 30, 2025, write-downs of inventories to net realizable value increased by €1,361thousand.
As at June 30, 2025, the factoring agreement had a maximum usable nominal volume of €35,000 thousand (December 31, 2024: €35,000 thousand). The factoring agreement is between selected Austrian and German subsidiaries of Rosenbauer International AG and a German bank. This is a monthly revolving factoring. As at the reporting date, the factor had purchased receivables in the amount of €35,767 (December 31, 2024: €52,692 thousand) and assumes the del credere risk for all of these receivables. 10% of the purchased receivables will be withheld as security by the factor. The assessment of the risks arising from the receivables sold is generally based on the credit default risk and the payment date risk (late payment risk). As all opportunities and risks associated with the receivables sold were neither transferred nor retained, the receivables were not fully derecognized in the 2025 financial year. On the basis of the late payment risk, purchased receivables continue to be recognized in the balance sheet in the amount of their continuing involvement of €393 thousand (December 31, 2024: €680 thousand) and a corresponding liability is recognized under liabilities to banks.
At the Annual General Meeting on May 14, 2024, it was decided to establish authorized capital in compliance with the statutory subscription right, also in accordance with the indirect subscription right pursuant to Section 153 (6) AktG. It has also been authorized by the Executive Board with the consent of the Supervisory Board to exclude subscription rights of the shareholders in whole or in part, including with the option of issuing the new shares in exchange for contribution in kind. The Executive Board decided on a capital increase of 50% of the existing share capital, i.e. 3,400,000 new no-par value bearer shares, excluding the subscription right, in the 2024 financial year. The capital increase was completed on February 27, 2025, with entry in the commercial register. The inclusion of the new shares in the official trading of the Vienna Stock Exchange was approved in accordance with the provisions of Section 119 of the Stock Exchange Act (BörseG) 2018 as of June 6, 2025. Due to the capital increase, the share capital has increased from €13,600 thousand to €20,400 thousand and the number of no-par value shares from 6,800,000 to 10,200,000.
In accordance with IAS 32.35, the costs directly associated with issuing equity are deducted directly from the equity received. In the financial year 2024 and 2025 costs of €2,486 thousand (€1,319 thousand have a cash impact in the financial year 2025) were incurred. These costs essentially comprise legal and tax consulting costs, costs incurred in connection with the search for an investor, and issuance fees.
At the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2025, the decision was taken not to pay a dividend for the 2024 financial year (2023: €0.0 per share).
The provision for onerous contracts amounted to €1,862 thousand as at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: €1,842 thousand).
The income tax expense for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements is estimated in accordance with IAS 34 based on the average annual tax rate expected for the full financial year. In addition, special issues are taken into account as of June 30, 2025, in particular the assessment regarding the recoverability of loss carryforwards and temporary differences. The tax expense mainly includes changes from valuation adjustments of tax assets.
A multilateral refinancing agreement was signed by all parties involved in March 2024. Under the terms of the multilateral refinancing agreement, all key financing instruments (promissory note loans, syndicated loans, financing agreement for the acquisition of non-controlling interests in the USA, and other non-committed and committed credit facilities) shall be extended until November 3, 2025. As part of the extension of the above financing, additional fees and an increase in interest margins were agreed. The multilateral refinancing agreement contained new financial covenants that stipulate the achievement of an IFRS consolidated equity ratio of at least 20% (including the capital increase) as well as a ratio of net debt to EBITDA below a factor of 5 for the 2024 financial year. Non-respect of the above financial covenants by December 31, 2024, following submission and on the basis of the audited consolidated financial statements, entitled the lenders to terminate the financing agreement.
In the multilateral refinancing agreement, Rosenbauer International AG has also committed to fulfill further obligations, to treat all creditors equally, and to pledge its shares in Rosenbauer Deutschland GmbH, Rosenbauer Karlsruhe GmbH, and Rosenbauer Holdings Inc. to the lenders. Further key provisions prescribed a capital increase in the 2024 financial year and the suspension of dividend payments. A share of the revenues from the capital increase was to be paid to the contractual partners of the financing agreement as an unscheduled repayment in the 2024 financial year. The capital increase was also intended to sustainably strengthen the equity of Rosenbauer International AG and support the further growth of the Group.
At the Annual General Meeting on May 14, 2024, it was decided to establish authorized capital in compliance with the statutory subscription right, also in accordance with the indirect subscription right pursuant to Section 153 (6) AktG. It has also been authorized by the Executive Board with the consent of the Supervisory Board to exclude subscription rights of the shareholders in whole or in part, including with the option of issuing the new shares in exchange for contribution in kind. The Executive Board decided on a capital increase of 50% of the existing share capital, i.e. 3,400,000 new no-par value bearer shares, excluding the subscription right, in the 2024 financial year.
Subsequently, the committees of Rosenbauer International AG decided to have all 3,400,000 new no-par bearer shares subscribed for by a new investor at an issue price of €35 per share for the purpose of carrying out the capital increase. A corresponding agreement between the previous majority shareholder Rosenbauer Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH (BVG) and the new investor was signed in June 2024. The new investor is Robau Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH (Robau), in which Pierer Industrie AG and Mark Mateschitz Beteiligungs GmbH (both via PiMA Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH), Raiffeisen Beteiligungsholding GmbH, and Invest Unternehmensbeteiligungs AG are also involved.
In August 2024, Robau announced that, in addition to subscribing to the capital increase, it would indirectly acquire a Rosenbauer share package of 25.15% from the previous majority shareholder BVG. This took place in March 2025. As a result of these two transactions, Robau acquired a controlling interest of 50.1% in Rosenbauer International AG. On the basis of the aforementioned transactions, Robau also submitted an anticipatory takeover bid to the other shareholders.
Due to the delay of the capital increase from the planned end of 2024 to the 2025 financial year, the contracting parties to the multilateral refinancing agreement approved a waiver of the obligations of the agreement to permit the implementation of the capital increase after December 31, 2024, and the shortfall in the equity ratio as of December 31, 2024.
The capital increase was completed on February 27, 2025, with entry in the commercial register. The inclusion of the new shares in the official trading of the Vienna Stock Exchange was requested in accordance with the provisions of Section 119 of the Stock Exchange Act (BörseG) 2018 and admitted to trading as of June. Parallel to the capital increase, a refinancing agreement (syndicated loan) was concluded with the main financing partners to replace the multilateral refinancing agreement. A financing volume of €330 million with a term until February 2028 and the option to extend for a further 2 years (1+1) was concluded on March 11, 2025. The multilateral refinancing agreement was thus replaced by the syndicated loan and the continuation of certain loans that were previously included in the agreement.
The financial covenants were newly agreed for the financial years from 2025 onward. For the 2025 financial year, the syndicated loan provides for the achievement of an IFRS consolidated equity ratio of at least 22.5% (2026: 25% and 2027: 25%) and a ratio of net debt1 to EBITDA2 below a factor of 3.5 (2026: 3 and 2027: 3). In addition, the ratio of EBITDA to interest cost minus interest income must not fall below a factor of 2. As at June 30, 2025, a consolidated equity ratio pursuant to IFRS of at least 20% (2026: 22.5% and 2027: 25%) and an EBITDA ratio of less than a factor of 5 (2026: 4.5 and 2027: 4) is to be achieved. In addition, the ratio of EBITDA to interest cost minus interest income must not be lower than a factor of 2. Failure to comply with the aforementioned financial covenants, after submission and on the basis of the audited consolidated financial statements, as well as other contractual obligations arising from the syndicated loan, entitles the lenders to terminate the financing agreement. The financial covenants are monitored continuously by Rosenbauer.

Derivative financial instruments are used to hedge against interest rate and currency risks. These are initially recognized at fair value when the agreement is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value.
The financial investments available for sale shown in the following table as level 1 include listed equities and units in funds. The fair value of currency forwards and interest rate hedging transactions shown as level 2 is determined from bank valuations based on recognized mathematical measurement models (discounted cash flow method on the basis of current interest and currency future yields based on interbank mid-rates as of the end of the reporting period). The interest rate hedge as at December 31, 2024, relates to the hedging of parts of the promissory note interest, which were returned in spring 2025. The redemption of the promissory note loan and the termination of the associated interest rate swap resulted in an overall net effect on the
financial result of € –803 thousand. An expense of € 1,104 thousand was recognized from the adjustment of the fair value of the promissory note loan, which was offset by positive income of € 456 thousand from the reclassification of the equity-recorded valuation component of own credit risk through profit or loss. Additionally, costs for the early termination of the interest rate swap amounting to € 78 thousand were recognized as expenses, while the positive fair value of the swap at the time of unwinding amounting to € 633 thousand was also derecognized through profit or loss. See Chapter 6 for further notes to the interim consolidated financial statements – financing agreements.
In 2025 – as in the previous year – there were no reclassifications between level 1 and level 2 or vice versa. There was no change in the measurement method. For all classes of financial instruments other than non-current loan liabilities, the carrying amount is equal to the fair value.

Financial liabilities from putable non-controlling interests are recognized at fair value (level 3). The putable non-controlling interests include the put options of the US minority shareholder Rosenbauer Aerials LLC., Nebraska, in the amount of €16,174 thousand (December 31, 2024: €16,287 thousand), which can be exercised at any time. The value is calculated from the present value of the payment obligation from a purchase price formula that takes into account the earnings values of two past years and one future year and the equity value.
Interest risks were hedged using derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps. Hedges are initially recognized at fair value when the agreement is entered into and subsequently remeasured at fair value. As at June 30, 2025, there were no hedges of interest rate risks.
Rosenbauer International AG has not issued any liability statements for the benefit of non-Group companies. Also, as at the end of the year, there are no contingent assets and contingent liabilities from which material receivables and liabilities will result.
