28.11.2006

The Rosenbauer Group continued along its successful growth in the
third quarter of 2006, buoyed by the strategic additions to capacity
at its Austrian and American locations, further enhancements to the
efficiency of production flows, and the dynamic market environment in
Asia, the USA and the Arab world.

REVENUE AND RESULTS TRENDS The Rosenbauer Group posted revenues of in
EUR 228.5 m in the first nine months of 2006        (1-9/2005: EUR
211.8 m). This very pleasing revenue trend is primarily attributable
to the Spanish, German, Singapore and US segments.

The Austrian segment’s revenues of EUR 118.3 m (1-9/2005: EUR 119.6
m) were largely derived from international export sales. The US
segment was successful in adding new sales partners to its
distribution network, taking its revenues for the first nine months
up another 5% (after the 40 % rise it scored last year over the same
period of 2004) to a total of EUR 74.9 m (1-9/2005: EUR 71.6 m).
Developments have also been highly satisfactory at the Spanish Group
company, which managed to more than double its revenues for the
period in question to EUR 16.9 m (1-9/2005: EUR 8.4 m), mainly with
sales on its home market.

The operating result (EBIT) rose from EUR 9.7 m (1-9/2005) to EUR
11.9 m on the back of the wider margins achieved in international
export business and the improvement in the result of Metz Aerials
GmbH & Co.KG. EBT increased correspondingly, from EUR 7.8 m
(1-9/2005) to EUR 9.1 m.

Inauguration of the logistics centre An investment volume in excess
of EUR 9.0 m is envisaged for the current financial year. Of this
amount, EUR 7.8 m had already been invested by the end of the third
quarter. The lion’s share of the investment outlays went on expanding
manufacturing capacity at the Leonding site. The 140th anniversary
celebrations on September 29, 2006 marked the completion of the site
reorganisation project and the formal opening of the new logistics
centre. In carrying out this strategic investment, Rosenbauer has
taken a crucial step towards further expansion and geared up the
Leonding facility to meet the challenges of the years ahead.

ORDERS The positive order trend continued unbroken through the third
quarter as well, with incoming orders throughout the Group up 39% in
the first nine months of 2006 to a total of EUR 337.7 m (1-9/2005:
EUR 243.1 m). Order backlog per September 30 soared from EUR 218.4 m
(September 30, 2005) to EUR 337.6 m, the highest figure in the
Group’s history.

OUTLOOK Rosenbauer Group Management expects that the pattern of
business for the rest of this year will be as already forecast. As
announced in previous statements, a substantial proportion (around
35%) of revenues will be realised in the final quarter of 2006. For
the year as a whole, Group revenues are expected to be some 10%
higher (2005: EUR 321.3 m) with the result (EBIT) up by over 15%
(2005: EUR 19.6 m).
