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)

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
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

| Capital expenditure | € mill. | 28.5 | 29.7 | ||
| Value added | € mill. | 15.2 | 5.2 |
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

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

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

slightly lower sales in Africa, mainly in Egypt due to CM
to project-related lower sales at VFS in China and the United Arab Emirates

SALES AND EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR 2022 SPECIFIED ON OCTOBER 17, 2022
/ All divisions will contribute significantly to the forecast sales growth. The strongest growth in percentage terms is expected in the Lifecycle Solutions division.
/ Forecast corridor for value added also specified and expected in positive range, weighted average cost of capital before taxes (WACC) unchanged in fiscal 2022 at 7.0 percent.
/ Profitability only slightly below previous year's level, despite above all significantly higher material and energy costs, which can only be passed on to customers in part or with a time delay. A large part of the additional burdens will be offset by continuous efficiency improvements and positive developments in other areas.
