~
The first few months of 2002 went very well indeed for the Rosenbauer
Group. On revenues of EUR 137.7 m (up 13 % on the comparable figure
of EUR 122.3 m for 1-6/2001), EBT shot up from EUR -0.7 m (1-6/2001)
to the record figure of EUR 7.0 m.
This atypically high half-year result is due to the impact of the
rationalisation measures that have been implemented in the Group, and
of the first shipments made under the major order from Saudi Arabia. 
In the first 6 months of this year, deliveries worth a total of EUR
14.1 m were invoiced under this contract.
Saudi Arabian contract is being fulfilled successfully
Deliveries under the EUR 44.7 m contract from Saudi Arabia are
proceeding to plan. By the end of the first half of 2002, all of the
deliveries of fire-safety equipment to the client under this contract
had been completed. Acceptance inspection of the vehicle prototypes,
all of which are being manufactured at the US subsidiary Central
States LLC, took place in mid-May 2002. The entire order will have
been filled, in part-shipments, by October 2003.
The timely delivery of all the fire-safety equipment, and the
satisfactory acceptance of the prototypes, have prompted the Saudi
Arabian Ministry of the Interior to place a further order. The
existing order volume has thus been increased by a further 10 % (EUR
4.5 m). Of this, the fire-safety equipment (worth EUR 1.4 m) is to be
delivered during the rest of this year, with the vehicles (worth EUR
3.1 m) to follow by the end of 2003 in the framework of the existing
order.
OUTLOOK
Positive forecasts for 2002 are confirmed
Despite the deconsolidation of the former Group companies in Belgium
and Norway, year-2002 revenues are projected to rise to around EUR
285 m. (2001: EUR 273.7 m). This continuation of the positive course
of the Group’s business leads Management to expect that it may even
be possible to exceed the existing EBT forecast of EUR 10.0 m.
