Germany's Vossloh H1 revenue rises 21.9%, net income falls
Overview
Germany rail infrastructure firm's H1 revenue grew 21.9% yr/yr, driven by Sateba acquisition
Net income and EPS fell sharply due to PPA effects and lower Customized Modules contribution
Order backlog hit record €1.14 bln; company raised sales outlook but trimmed earnings guidance
Outlook
Vossloh expects 2026 sales revenue of €1.51 bln to €1.61 bln, down from prior guidance
Company sees 2026 EBITDA of €195 mln to €210 mln and EBIT of €100 mln to €110 mln

Result Drivers
SATEBA ACQUISITION - Revenue and order growth were mainly driven by the first-time consolidation of VTT Europe (Sateba)
CUSTOMIZED MODULES WEAKNESS - Profitability was weighed down by a lower earnings contribution from the Customized Modules division, due to a changed project mix and higher logistics costs
PPA EFFECTS - Group EBIT was reduced by €9.1 mln of PPA effects related to the Sateba acquisition
