Development of revenues and earnings The Rosenbauer Group generated
revenues of EUR 181.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 (1-3/2016:
EUR 172.0 million). While decreases in deliveries were observed in
some Middle Eastern countries, deliveries were on the rise in North
America and parts of Europe.

The first three months of the current year once again showed that the
first quarter is always significantly weaker in terms of revenues and
income. This is partly because the majority of deliveries are usually
made in the second half of the year. These seasonal fluctuations over
the course of the year are partially leveled out by centrally managed
procurement that is not based on government budgets.

In the first quarter, EBIT was down on the previous year at EUR -3.1
million (1-3/2016: EUR 3.4 million). The difference in comparison to
the first quarter of the previous year was mainly attributable to low
capacity utilization due to the political situation in the Gulf
States and the resulting lower coverage of fixed costs at the plants
