Vossloh Annual General Meeting approves all proposed resolutions by a large
majority

* Review of an extremely successful financial year 2023

* Further improvement in earnings and profitability expected for 2024

* Dividend of EUR1.05 per share (previous year: EUR1.00) resolved

Werdohl, May 15, 2024. Vossloh AG today held its Annual General Meeting as a
physical event in Düsseldorf. CEO Oliver Schuster looked back on selected
aspects of the company's successful development in the past financial year
2023. In addition to product and technology innovations, digital-based
solutions played a central role, such as the market launch of the
cloud-based digital platform Vossloh connect. Vossloh is not only part of
the transformation of the rail industry, but is actively shaping it.

Despite adverse conditions due to numerous crises around the world, Vossloh
achieved excellent results in the 2023 financial year. The Group was able to
increase its Sales revenues compared to the previous year , at EUR1.21
billion, and exceeded the sales record from 2022 by 16.1 percent. EBIT even
increased by 26.2 percent to a remarkable EUR98.5 million and Free cash flow
more than doubled from EUR27.9 million to EUR70.9 million. Schuster sees the
decisive reason for the company's successful development in its
forward-looking, sustainable and crisis-resistant business model as well as
in Vossloh's unique positioning: "Through the increased use of digital
analysis processes and our unique understanding of track, we have evolved
from a pure supplier of high-quality products and services to a system house
for the rail track and holistic problem solver for our customers," Oliver
Schuster made clear in his speech, adding: "This will enable us to benefit
from new business models and further differentiate ourselves from our
competitors."

The start to the current financial year 2024 has also been very positive.
"Compared to the same period last year, we were able to further improve all
key financial figures. Orders received were again at a record level at
EUR350.1 million, while Sales revenues exceeded the record figure from the
same quarter of the previous year by 4.9 percent and amounted to EUR268.8
million. At EUR17.9 million, EBIT in the first quarter of 2024 exceeded the
previous year's figure by 27.4 percent. Overall, we have every reason to
look ahead with great confidence," emphasized Dr. Thomas Triska, CFO of
Vossloh AG, in his subsequent speech.

70.81 percent of the share capital was represented at today's Annual General
Meeting. The shareholders approved all agenda items proposed by the
Executive Board and Supervisory Board with a clear majority. This included
the proposal to distribute a dividend of EUR1.05 per share, which corresponds
to a total dividend payout of EUR18.4 million or a payout ratio - based on
earnings per share - of around 48 percent. The Executive Board was also
authorized to use instruments such as convertible bonds or bonds with
warrants in the future to finance the company's further growth. Finally, the
shareholders also approved the authorization to buy back the company's own
shares by a large majority.

All speeches given at the Annual General Meeting, the presentations shown
and the detailed voting results are available on Vossloh AG's website in the
Investor Relations section under Annual General Meeting.
