DESPITE DIFFICULT MARKET CONDITIONS VERY STRONG SALES AND EARNINGS PERFORMANCE IN Q3/2022

Orders received again high in Q3 at €269.0 million; 29.4 percent increase compared with Q3/2021; book-to-bill after nine months at 1.27 (previous year: 0.96)

Highest orders received in Q3/2022:

  • Germany: In particular at Lifecycle Solutions; strategically important major order from Deutsche Bahn for smart high-speed grinding
  • France: Particularly in Customized Modules; high orders again from SNCF and in the tram sector
  • Italy: Mainly for Customized Modules; high orders from RFI (national railway infrastructure manager)
  • Australia: Especially at Vossloh Tie Technologies; good order situation at numerous customers

Order backlog at the end of Q3/2022 at €814.6 million; 46.8 percent increase compared with end of Q3/2021

SALES AND EARNINGS PERFORMANCE ORDER SITUATION

Sales with €279.8 million in Q3/2022 significantly higher than in Q3/2021; increase of 18.7 percent

EBIT and EBIT margin in Q3/2022 up year on year despite higher material and energy prices; EBIT of €26.1 million up 31.8 percent year on year; EBIT margin at 9.3 percent (prior year: 8.4 percent)

Net income with €21.5 million in Q3/2022 significantly higher than in prior year (€13.2 million)

Sales and earnings guidance for 2022 specified (see ad hoc announcement on October 17, 2022); for the first time more than €1 billion in sales to be achieved in the rail infrastructure sector; lower overall burden than previously assumed, mainly from rising material and energy costs; EBIT expectation specified above the mean values of the previous forecast corridors; EBIT based on the mean values of the corridors slightly higher than in the previous year

INNOTRANS 2022

Under the slogan "enabling green mobility," Vossloh presented pioneering innovations for greater availability of the rail track at the world's biggest rail fair

Portfolio of innovative solutions to increase network availability for rail operators and reduce life cycle costs; these include the EPS composite sleeper, the M-generation tension clamp, the concept for dronebased inspection of track sections, the smart highspeed grinding technology, etc.

Positive market outlook for rail infrastructure; UNIFE (European Rail Supply Industry Association) increases annual market growth expectation for rail infrastructure from 2.6 percent to 3.8 percent

SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN SALES; PROFITABILITY IMPACTED BY HIGHER PROCUREMENT COSTS

Free cash flow € mill. 9.8 (46.5)
Capital expenditure € mill. 28.5 29.7
Value added € mill. 15.2 5.2

NOTES

Sales up by 8.3 percent, growth attributable to all divisions, in particular Lifecycle Solutions and Customized Modules with significant sales increase

EBIT and EBIT margin significantly improved after strong Q3/2022, but lower year on year due to substantially higher procurement costs for materials and energy and business-typical fluctuations in project business; Core Components still well below prior year, while Customized Modules and Lifecycle Solutions noticeably improved absolute EBIT

Net income up €5.0 million year on year despite higher interest expense due to lower tax expense; earnings per share up by 32 cents

Free cash flow again slightly negative in Q3/2022 due to further increase in working capital (+€30 million in single quarter), therefore significantly lower year on year after nine months; high free cash flow expected in Q4/2022

Capital expenditures slightly above prior-year level; lower at Core Components, but slightly higher at Customized Modules and Lifecycle Solutions

Value added positive for the first time in 2022 thanks to strong earnings performance in Q3

NET FINANCIAL DEBT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER DUE TO INCREASE IN WORKING CAPITAL, SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE EXPECTED AT YEAR-END

Net financial debt € mill. 231.7 215.6 292.6

NOTES

Equity increased noticeably despite dividend payment in 2022 (around €18 million), in particular as a result of positive earnings performance; equity ratio remains at high level

Closing working capital increased significantly compared with 9/30/2021, mainly due to higher procurement prices and increased stockpiling; average working capital intensity virtually unchanged compared with prior-year period

Closing capital employed increased compared with 9/30/2021, mainly as a result of working capital build-up, significantly higher in particular at Core Components

Net financial debt (thereof €39.1 million in lease liabilities) increased by €60.9 million compared with end of Q3/2021, mainly due to negative free cash flow in the past 12 months (approx. €26 million) and dividend, lease and interest payments; significant reduction in debt expected at end of year

ORDERS RECEIVED REACH NEW RECORD LEVEL; BOOK-TO-BILL AT 1.27

NOTES

Orders received after nine months at a new record level of almost €1 billion and 44.2 percent up year on year; especially significantly higher order intake at Vossloh Fastening Systems in China and Egypt; higher at VTT especially in the USA; Customized Modules also significantly up year on year, especially in France and Poland; Lifecycle Solutions up year on year mainly thanks to higher order intake in the Netherlands

Order backlog up 46.8 percent year on year; all divisions contributing to the increase; Core Components (+€134.3 million), in particular China and Egypt, and Customized Modules (+€100.8 million), in particular Sweden and Portugal, significantly up year on year; Lifecycle Solutions also records tangible year-onyear increase (+€29.2 million), mainly in Germany

Noticeable increase in sales mainly due to higher sales in Mexico and Eastern Europe (especially the Czech Republic and Romania), while in particular sales in China were still significantly lower than in the previous year
