Rosenbauer International AG Hits Record Order Backlog Amid Delays

Rosenbauer International AG has reported a new record in its order backlog, despite falling short of revenue expectations in the second quarter of 2026. The backlog rose to €2.43 billion, supported by an 8% year-over-year increase in new orders, demonstrating robust commercial momentum. The company's revenue declined by 5.6% to €322 million, influenced by the implementation of the new SAP S/4HANA system, regular sales volatility in Asia-Pacific, and transport delays in the Middle East.

Profitability improvements were marked, with gross profit margins rising to 19.7% and EBITDA increasing by 37.8% to €15.8 million. Inventory and delayed deliveries led to temporarily higher working capital, weighing on operating cash flow. Rosenbauer continues to innovate, releasing a large-capacity fire engine and the first all-electric aerial ladder, enhancing its competitive edge.
