Q3 review: firm order intake and robust growth.

Yesterday, OHB released a strong set of Q3 results and a further rising
order book amid a upcomingphase of strong newsflow. In detail:

Q3'25 order intake reached EUR 350m, implying a solid 1.2x book-to-bill ratio.
In light of large orderwins in H1'25 (EUR 1,249m) as well as in Q4'24 (EUR
584m), the LTM
book-to-bill ratio remains high at1.9x.Consequently, the order backlog
reached a new all time high at EUR 3,117m (+47% yoy), indicating improving
visibility and OHB gaining traction even before any big-ticket defence
orders.

Total output grew by 22% yoy in Q3 to EUR 300m (9M: +21% yoy to EUR 864m) driven
by growth acrossall segments. The largest segment SPACE SYSTEMS grew by 30%
yoy to EUR 233m (9M: +18% yoyto EUR 672m) driven by good progress on navigation
satellites (+55% yoy) as well as environmental &weather satellites (+34%
yoy). The renamed segment ACCESS TO SPACE (prev. AEROSPACE) also showed
excellent growth of 40% yoy to EUR 43m (9M: +22% to EUR 114m), followed by the
segment DIGITAL growing by +34% yoy to EUR 36m (9M: +31% yoy to EUR 103m).
Holding andconsolidation effects explain the remainder.

Q3 adj. EBITDA arrived 10% yoy higher at EUR 35m (10.1% margin, -1.3pp yoy),
due to two maindrivers:

* OHB maintained a strong momentum in personnel efficiency, as total
output (ex other op. inc.)per FTE continued to improve (Q3: 15% yoy; 9M:
14% yoy), as the 22% yoy output growth wasdelivered with an only 6% yoy
higher headcount and likely a direct result of the ongoing efficiency
program. Consequently, personnel expense rose by only 9% yoy to EUR 83m in
Q3 (28% ofoutput; -3.2pp yoy).

* On the other hand, a disproportionate 32% yoy increase in material
expenses to EUR 163m (54%of output, +4.1pp yoy) weighed on margins. We
attribute this to a temporarily higher share of third-party services
(eNuW: mostly pass-through revenues from sub-contractors), which
naturally come with lower margins and fluctuate throughout the year.
This effect was more pronounced in the SPACE SYSTEMS segment, explaining
the 8% decline in segment EBITDA.

With a 9M EBITDA of EUR 75.5m (+21% yoy, 8.7% margin), the FY'25 EBITDA margin
guidance of ~9% (eNuW: 11%, including a EUR 37.5m provision reversal due to a
resolved project interference;adjusted for this: 9.3%) should be well in
reach, as it implies a Q4 margin of 9.2%. Meanwhile, next to budget
increases likely at ESA and announced by Germany's Ministry of Defence,the
EU's 2028-34 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) could also see a doubling
in spacespending to EUR 40-60bn for 2028-34 vs. EUR 19bn in the current 2021-27
MFF.

Against this backdrop, we reiterate our BUY recommendation with unchanged PT
of EUR 141, based on DCF.
