Solid start into the year // record order backlog; chg. est.

Topic: Rosenbauer released solid Q1 figures with sales above but EBIT below

our estimates. The demand for firefighting vehicles is unbroken supported

by several structural trends, leading to a strong order intake and a new

record high in order backlog.

Q1 sales grew by 17.7% yoy to EUR 226m (eNuW: EUR 215m) thanks to the company's

strong order backlog of EUR 1.79bn at the end of FY23 and an average price

increase of 8% yoy per fire truck delivered in Q1. On a regional level,

growth in the Europe (% yoy to EUR 106m) and the Americas area (.0% yoy

to EUR 80m) compensated for a weaker Asia-Pacific (-51% yoy to EUR 12.4m) and

Middle East & Africa area (-9.0% yoy to EUR 17.1m).

EBIT improved by EUR 5.2m yoy to EUR 0.3m (eNuW: EUR 4.4m) backed by further

stabilization of supply chains but also substantial price increases. The

reported EBIT includes a negative one-off effect of EUR 2.3m due to the

departure of a member of the Executive Board and the realization of a new

banking agreement. The fact that EBIT in the first quarter was positive for

the first time in two years, despite negative one-offs, underpins the

successful operational turnaround of the company.

Unbroken strong demand. Q1 order intake stood at EUR 362m (% yoy),

implying a book-to-bill ratio of 1.6x. Coupled with the strong demand

during the past quarters and supply chain issues, the group's order backlog

grew again to a new record high of EUR 1.94bn (% yoy). Rosenbauer intends

to reduce the book-to-bill ratio to a level of 1x to decrease lead times

and with that the implied risk in the order book of increases on the cost

side like in FY21 & FY22.

FY guidance reiterated. For FY24e, management expects sales of EUR 1.2bn (

12.7% yoy) and an EBIT margin of 5%. While we are slightly more cautious

(eNuW: Sales EUR 1.18bn, EBIT margin 4.7%), we expect further sequential

improvements throughout FY24e after the transition year FY23. FY24e should

benefit from (1) price increases which are successively reflected in sales

(2) a further improving supply chain and (3) internal efficiency measures.

As the supply chain situation further improves and with a record high in

order backlog, shares look poised for a re-rating. Reiterate BUY with an

unchanged EUR 50.00 PT based on DCF.
