Vossloh Group: Driving Innovation. Developing Potential.

Guidance confirmed and further detailed, order backlog well above the previous year

Performance
of business after
9 months of 2018

Sales and EBIT below the previous year's figures, as expected, particularly due to project
related, temporary sales weakness in the high-margin China business

Guidance for the full year 2018 confirmed –
sales and EBIT margin expected to be at the
lower end of the communicated range
Order situation
Orders received in the Vossloh Group above the previous year, book-to-bill at 1.1

Additional significant orders received are expected in the Fastening Systems business unit
in China in the fourth quarter
InnoTrans 2018
Vossloh presents "The Smart Rail Track by Vossloh" at the world's largest trade fair for rail
technology in Berlin

Innovative system solutions, such as joint development with Frauscher Sensortechnik GmbH
for example in the area of the condition monitoring of rail infrastructure for highest track
availability and maximum customer added value
Portfolio changes
Expected merger control clearance of the acquisition of Austrak
in the course of 2018

Status of the sale of Transportation: Sales discussions with several potential buyers
continuously intensive; signing of a contract expected in 2018

Sales and EBIT down year-over-year as anticipated

Key group indicators1) 1-9/2017 1-9/2018
Sales revenues € mill. 683.2 623.2
EBIT € mill. 56.6 35.2
EBIT margin % 8.3 5.7
Net income € mill. 22.0 12.6
Earnings per share 0.92 0.57
Return on capital employed (ROCE) % 9.5 6.0
Value added € mill. 12.0 (8.9)

Capital expenditure € mill. 21.1 37.2
Depreciation/amortization € mill. 22.0 26.6

1) Prior-year figures adjusted due to the treatment of the Locomotives business unit as discontinued operations

2) Includes the effects of discontinued operations; free cash flow comprises the cash flow from operating activities, investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, and cash receipts and payments associated with companies accounted for using the equity method

Notes

Sales revenues in the Core Components division down year-on-year; decline also attributable to negative exchange rate effects

EBIT decrease primarily a result of project-related sales development at Core Components; EBIT in the previous year at CM boosted by reversal of an impairment

  • Net income in line with EBIT development, partially offset by an improved result from discontinued operations
  • Free cash flow deteriorated slightly; significantly positive free cash flow expected in Q4/2018
  • Capital expenditure significantly above the previous year; largest single investment involves the modernization of the production plant for manganese frogs at Customized Modules

Equity ratio unchanged above 40%, net financial debt higher

Net financial debt € mill. 225.9 207.7 287.4
  • Equity lower than at the end of 2017 partially due to dividend payments
  • Average working capital almost unchanged compared to the previous year; significant reduction of closing working capital expected in Q4/2018
  • Average capital employed slightly lower; as of September 30, 2018 above the previous year due to higher working capital and higher capital expenditure
  • Net financial debt higher than at the end of 2017 primarily due to negative free cash flow as well as dividend and interest payments
  • Planned repayment of a Schuldschein loan from 2013 (€50 million) shortly before execution

Orders received increase by 4.8%, order backlog 9.7% higher

Notes

  • Orders received increased particularly as a result of significantly higher orders received at Vossloh Fastening Systems (China, Turkey, Italy); orders received at Customized Modules lower than in the previous year primarily for exchange rate and consolidation-related reasons
  • Book-to-bill ratio of the Group at 1.1, book-to-bill > 1 in all business units
  • Additional significant orders received expected in the fourth quarter at VFS in China
  • Higher order backlog in the Core Components division in both the VTT and VFS business units; high order backlog at Customized Modules caused by an increase at the companies in the USA and India

Core Components division (CC)

Sales lower year-on-year for project-related reasons, profitability at 12%

Fastening Systems business unit (VFS)

Weak sales development in Q3, high sales expected in Q4

Tie Technologies business unit (VTT)

Order situation continues to improve, book-to-bill at 1.18

Positive development in orders received in the second quarter further continues

9

9/30/2017: 25.5

(€ mill.)

Customized Modules division (CM)

Sales slightly above the previous year, book-to-bill greater than 1

  • Significant adverse impact on sales through currency translation effects and changes in the scope of consolidation; nevertheless slightly higher year-on-year primarily due to good business development in Poland, Italy, Australia and Canada; however, particularly significant lower sales contributions from Morocco
  • EBIT in the previous year positively impacted by the reversal of an impairment loss in China; without this effect, profitability higher in 2018; also lower contributions to earnings at the French locations; US business slightly better in a still challenging market environment
ROCE (%) 1-9/2018: 6.3
1-9/2017: 7.5
Value added 1-9/2018: (3.8)
(€ mill.) 1-9/2017: 0.2

Lifecycle Solutions division (LS)

Sales slightly higher year-on-year, EBIT margin clearly improved

Notably higher sales in Eastern/Southern Europe, Asia below 2017 as expected

Vossloh Group, 2018 outlook

Guidance for 2018 in general confirmed and further detailed

Sales trend toward the lower end of the range (€875 – 950 million): Attributable in part to negative exchange rate effects; downward trend in the Core Components division due to an anticipated temporary weakening in the performance of Vossloh Fastening Systems in China; higher sales forecast for Customized Modules and Lifecycle Solutions

EBIT margin at the lower end of the range (6.0 – 7.0 %): Core Components division below the high level of the 2017 fiscal year, Customized Modules at the previous year's level, Lifecycle Solutions noticeably better
