Value added € mill. 8.1 4.6
ROCE % 10.6 10.1

NOTES

Sales revenues after 9M 2025 up by 5.7 percent on the previous year; all divisions contributing to growth

EBIT after 9M 2025 only slightly below previous year's level thanks to strong Q3 2025; high-margin project mix expected in Q4 2025

Net income and thus Earnings per share below previous year, mainly due to higher interest expenses in addition to EBIT development; Earnings per share reduced due to a higher number of outstanding shares in 2025

Free cash flow performed well in Q3 2025 at €44.4 million (Q3 2024: €38.9 million); significantly positive free cash flow also expected in Q4 2025

Capital expenditure expected to exceed previous year's level, mainly due to the construction of a new turnout factory in Sweden, the establishment of production facilities for under sleeper pads in Germany, and the implementation of the group-wide ERP project

Value added positive again after nine months of 2025 and significantly improved in Q3 2025 with €7.1 million (Q3 2024: €4.5 million), below previous year overall

WORKING CAPITAL INTENSITY IMPROVED YEAR-ON-YEAR, SATEBA NOT YET INCLUDED AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER

NOTES

Equity increased compared with the previous year's figures despite noticeable negative currency translation effects, primarily as a result of the positive net income

Closing working capital increased year-on-year, mainly due to higher receivables; Average working capital intensity, on the other hand, decreased compared to the previous year and well below the 20 percent mark

Closing capital employed increased, mainly due to higher closing working capital, increased investment activity, and the full consolidation of the Chinese joint venture

Net financial debt down year-on-year, mainly due to proceeds from capital increase in November 2024; up compared with year-end due to interest, lease, and dividend payments; significant increase from October due to financing of Sateba acquisition

ORDERS RECEIVED BELOW PREVIOUS YEAR'S RECORD LEVEL, ORDER BACKLOG REMAINS AT A HIGH LEVEL

ORDERS RECEIVED (in € mill.) ORDER BACKLOG (in € mill.) NOTES

Orders received: Gap compared to high prior-year figure in Q3 2025 significantly reduced, Book-to-bill ratio remains at a good level of 1.04; orders received below high prior-year level, particularly in China and North America (CC), also noticeably lower in Africa and the Middle East (CM); by contrast, higher orders received across all divisions in Europe

Order backlog at high prior-year level, reflecting continued strong market demand; Customized Modules significantly above prior year, while Core Components and Lifecycle Solutions were below

(Due to the high number of framework agreements, the 'order backlog' figure is of limited significance; the order volume of framework agreements won is generally only recorded in orders received at the time of the respective call-offs)

PRELIMINARY REMARK: VOSSLOH DIVISIONS

NOTES ON THE IMPACT OF BRAND LICENSE FEES

Since the financial year 2025, Vossloh AG has been charging brand license fees to its 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 a corresponding charge since the beginning of 2025. At the level of the Vossloh Group as a whole, the introduction of the brand license fee has had no impact on these financial indicators.

At division level, the key figures EBIT, EBITDA and the corresponding margins, Value added and ROCE show limited comparability with the previous year's figures due to the brand license fee. In order to enable a transparent presentation of business development, the effects of the brand license fee are reported on EBIT and EBITDA, assuming that they would have been incurred in the previous year as well. The effect on value-oriented key figures (Value added, ROCE) is not explicitly reported, but the respective earnings effect can also be used as a comparative figure when evaluating these key figures.

PROFITABILITY REMAINS WELL ABOVE 10 PERCENT, POSITIVE SALES DEVELOPMENT AT VOSSLOH FASTENING SYSTEMS

Sales revenues up by 6.7 percent year-on-year; Vossloh Fastening Systems with strong increase, while Vossloh Tie Technologies remained noticeably below prior-year

EBIT and EBIT margin below the high prior-year level, largely due to a lower-margin project mix in the Tie Technologies business unit; prior-year figure also benefited from the reversal of provisions; in Q4 2025, in addition to a higher-margin project mix, positive EBIT contributions from Sateba are also expected

ROCE and Value added significantly below prior year due to EBIT development, but with improved development in Q3 2025

SALES REVENUES (in € mill.) VALUE ADDED (in € mill.)

Orders received after 9M 2025 slightly below previous year; primarily in China, but above previous year's level in the UK thanks to major order for HS2; total order backlog only slightly below previous year

Sales revenues up by 22.6 percent year-on-year, mainly thanks to higher sales in Africa and Eastern Europe

Value added only marginally below high prior-year level, solely due to the introduction of the brand license and the absence of reversal of provisions; operating performance improved

TIE TECHNOLOGIES BUSINESS UNIT

SALES DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO BE BELOW PREVIOUS YEAR, CAUTIOUS ORDER PLACEMENT IN NORTH AMERICA

SALES REVENUES (in € mill.) VALUE ADDED (in € mill.)

Orders received fell significantly due to delays in projects and changes in customer ordering behavior in the US

Sales revenues significantly below previous year, mainly due to lower sales in Mexico and Australia; significant increase expected for the full year due to the acquisition of Sateba

Value added below previous year due to lower sales revenues and lower-margin project mix; brand license fees and reversal of risk provisions in the previous year also had a negative impact compared to the previous year

CUSTOMIZED MODULES DIVISION

SALES REVENUES REACH RECORD LEVEL AFTER 9M 2025, EBIT EXCEEDS PREVIOUS YEAR'S FIGURE

Following strong performance in Q3 2025, Sales revenues are up by 6.9 percent yearon-year; increases primarily in Northern Europe (Sweden, Denmark) and Southeast Asia (especially Malaysia, Singapore)

EBIT significantly higher year-on-year despite the impact of brand license fees, mainly due to substantial higher earnings contributions from the Swedish site, but also benefiting from a positive accounting effect from the transitional consolidation of a Chinese joint venture

ROCE and Value added in line with last year, driven by EBIT development despite the introduction of the brand license

VOSSLOH GROUP: OUTLOOK

CURRENT OUTLOOK FOR 2025 FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE SATEBA ACQUISITION

SALES REVENUES

2024: €1.21 billion

Guidance for 2025: €1.33 billion to €1.4 billion

Expected sales increase driven by the Sateba acquisition, also growth of over 5 percent expected within the existing group structure in 2025, particularly in China and Africa.

EBIT

2024: €105.2 million

Guidance for 2025: €116 million to €126 million (before PPA effects for Sateba)

  • EBIT margin (before PPA effects for Sateba) continues to be expected at 9 percent (+/- 0.5 percentage points).
  • The effects of the purchase price allocation (PPA) are expected to have a significant negative impact on EBIT in the first 24 months after closing.
  • The forecast takes into account the impact of transaction and integration costs in connection with the acquisition of Sateba, negative translation effects due to current exchange rate developments, and a slight negative impact from the introduction of tariffs.

VALUE ADDED

2024: €13.1 million

Guidance for 2025: Reliable forecast currently not possible – largely determined by PPA effects

  • Due to the acquisition of Sateba, a sharp increase in capital employed in the final quarter and significant charges from the purchase price allocation are expected. As the final figures for the purchase price allocation will not be available until a later date, it is not currently possible to make a reliable forecast for the value added.
  • However, before taking PPA effects into account, it is still assumed that the Value added will be roughly in line with the previous forecast (€15 to €25 million).
