Closing capital employed increased compared to March 31, 2022 due to noticeably higher working capital
Net financial debt increased compared to year-end 2022, in particular due to negative free cash flow in Q1/2023 which is typical for the season

ORDERS RECEIVED IN Q1/2023 AGAIN AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL; BOOK-TO-BILL AT 1.35

Core Components Customized Modules Lifecycle Solutions
NOTES
As expected, orders received in the first quarter of 2023 below prior-year record value but again at a very high level; in particular, noticeably lower value at Vossloh Fastening Systems after two major orders in China (total volume around €90 million) had been won in Q1/2022; VTT, in contrast, with significant additional orders in Mexico and the USA; Customized Modules stable at high prior-year level; Lifecycle Solutions above prior-year level mainly thanks to higher order intake in Germany and the Netherlands
Order backlog up 12.5 percent year on year and at a historic high; all divisions contributing to the increase; Customized Modules in particular (+€71.7 million) significantly up year on year, especially in France and Serbia; Lifecycle Solutions also achieves noticeable year-on-year increase (+€15.4 million), mainly in Germany; Core Components (+€13.2 million) slightly up year on year, on the one hand VFS with lower order backlog due to major orders in the previous year, VTT on the other hand with significant increase

7 Quarterly Statement Q1/2023
SALES INCREASED, VALUE ADDED SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED
(in € mill.)

Due to major orders won in the previous year for the construction of high-speed lines in China (volume around €90 million), orders received were significantly lower year on year; book-to-bill nevertheless at 1.21
Noticeable increase in sales, particularly in Mexico, the USA and Germany; by contrast, particularly in the Czech Republic and China below the prior-year level
Value added significantly higher than in the previous year despite higher cost of capital, mainly due to strong earnings performance at the main site in Werdohl
(in € mill.)

SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN SALES MAINLY DUE TO HIGHER DEMAND IN NORTH AMERICA
(in € mill.)

Sales up 46.5 percent year on year, higher sales achieved in all regions represented, strongest increase in the USA
Value added in reporting year still below previous year, also due to higher capital costs; in addition, burdened by high maintenance expenses at an Australian site

VOSSLOH EXPECTS NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN SALES AND EBIT IN 2023
/ The expected increase in sales is mainly based on the high order backlog at the end of 2022. All divisions contribute to the forecast sales growth. The strongest growth in percentage terms is expected in the Lifecycle Solutions division.
/ The weighted average cost of capital before taxes (WACC), which is relevant for internal management, was increased to 8.5 percent for the fiscal year 2023 as a result of the general interest rate development (prior year: 7.0 percent). Despite the increase, a positive value added is expected in 2023.
/ Despite the persistently high level of procurement costs for energy and materials and significantly rising personnel costs, EBIT is also expected to increase noticeably in fiscal year 2023. Along with the sales, all divisions are expected to contribute to the increase in EBIT. Based on the midpoint of the sales forecast, the EBIT margin is expected to range between 7.2 percent and 8.0 percent.
