Financial News

Pullach, 08.12.2021 - The Management Board of Allane SE today came to the conclusion that the expectation for the financial year 2021 communicated on March 24, 2021 and last confirmed on November 17, 2021 of a slight year-on-year increase in the group contract portfolio (2020: 129,900 contracts) and consolidated operating revenues at approximately the previous year's level (2020: EUR 423.3 million) is probably not realizable.

For the current financial year, the Management Board expects the group's contract portfolio to be slightly below and consolidated operating sales to be significantly below the corresponding prior-year figure. However, the Management Board continues to expect an EBT for 2021 to be in the higher single-digit million euro range within a range of 5.5 to 6.5 million euros.

The main reasons for the deviation from the forecast are the weaker than expected current business performance, due in particular to the fact that the recovery of the overall economic situation fell short of expectations, and the renewed intensification of the COVID 19 situation, which continues to have a significant impact on mobility behavior as a result of the government measures introduced. In this respect, the Management Board assumes that it will not be possible to make up for the negative development in the fourth quarter of 2021 either.

Note: "Consolidated operating revenue" is not a key performance indicator under IFRS. Information on the composition of consolidated operating revenue is available in the 2020 Annual Report of Allane SE on p. 38 (available at https://ir.allane-mobility-group.com).

Allane SE: Contract portfolio grows in the third quarter of 2021

• Slight increase in Group contract portfolio from end of June to end of September after decline in the first half of the year
• Business development in the first nine months of 2021 in line with expectations
• Successful further digitalisation of the business model and renaming
• Forecast for the 2021 financial year confirmed

Pullach, 17 November 2021 - Allane SE (former Sixt Leasing SE), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as a specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has recorded an increase in the Group's contract portfolio again in the third quarter of 2021 after a decline in the first half of the year. Overall, the Company developed in line with expectations in the first nine months of 2021.

Successful further digitalisation and renaming
In the first nine months of 2021, Allane achieved several milestones in the digitalisation of its business model. Firstly, a new app for fleet leasing customers, an innovative analysis and reporting tool for fleet managers as well as the electronic driver's licence check for company car drivers were launched. In addition, the realignment of the subsidiary autohaus24 as one of the leading online car dealerships for new and used cars in Germany was driven forward and a rebranding of the brand presence was carried out. Furthermore, the change of name of Sixt Leasing SE to Allane SE was completed on 5 August 2021.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "In the third quarter, we were able to increase the number of contracts. We are thus back on the growth path. The business development makes us confident that we will achieve our forecast for the full year. Our goal is to continue to drive forward the digitalisation of our business model in particular - and to make the Allane Mobility Group the leading multi-brand provider of comprehensive mobility solutions in Europe."

Business development
Business development in the first nine months of 2021 continued to be affected in particular by the COVID-19 pandemic. As expected, there were signs of a slight recovery in business development in the third quarter. The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) increased slightly by 0.8 per cent to 128,200 contracts in the period from the end of June to the end of September. In the period from the end of December 2020 to the end of September 2021, on the other hand, it decreased slightly by 1.3 per cent. At the same time, the contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field decreased by 5.0 per cent to 36,700 contracts. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field decreased by 11.9 per cent to 33,300 contracts. In the Fleet Management business unit, on the other hand, the contract portfolio increased by 8.8 per cent to 58,200 contracts.

Consolidated revenue in the first three quarters of 2021 increased by 0.1 per cent to EUR 565.8 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased in the same period by 8.9 per cent to EUR 291.5 million. A major impact on the decline in operating revenue was attributable to the third "lockdown" due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which, in contrast to the first "lockdown" in the prior-year period, lasted longer throughout the first half-year. This third "lockdown" resulted, among other things, in significantly reduced vehicle usage, causing in particular a decline in usage-related revenues, such as fuel revenues and revenue from individual service products. Moreover, leasing revenue (finance rate) decreased compared to the first three quarters of 2020 due to the decline in the contract portfolio of the Leasing business unit. In addition to the aforementioned reduction in vehicle usage, the decrease in contracts also contributes to the decline in usage-related other revenue from leasing business. Sales revenue from the sale of leasing returns and marketing of customer vehicles in Fleet Management increased in the first three quarters of 2021 by 11.8 per cent to EUR 274.4 million. This development was mainly caused by an increase in unit price of vehicles sold due to the high demand on used cars.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased in the first three quarters of 2021 by 10.3 per cent to EUR 142.3 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Earnings before taxes (EBT) saw a decline of 10.3 per cent to EUR 4.6 million. The operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) consequently amounted to 1.6 per cent (9M 2020: 1.6 per cent).

Outlook
Allane confirms the outlook published on 24 March 2021. Accordingly, the Company expects a slight increase in the Group contract portfolio compared to the previous year (2020: 129,900 contracts) and consolidated operating revenue in the range of previous year's figure (2020: EUR 423.3 million). With regard to EBT, Allane expects a higher single-digit million euro amount (2020: EUR 9.1 million).

The reason for the cautious forecast for the full year 2021 is, in addition to the operating business development in the first nine months of 2021, primarily the ongoing COVID-19 situation. In this respect, the Company assumes that the market and business environment will continue to be strongly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, consolidated earnings are still burdened in the 2021 financial year by transaction-related costs in connection with the takeover of the Company by HCBE.

Allane SE publishes half-year financial report 2021

• Business development in the first half of 2021 in line with expectations
• Successful further digitalisation of the business model and renaming
• Forecast for the 2021 financial year confirmed

Pullach, 25 August 2021 - Allane SE (former Sixt Leasing SE), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as a specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has developed in line with expectations in the first half of 2021.

Successful further digitalisation and renaming
In the first half of 2021, Allane achieved several milestones in the digitalisation of its business model. Firstly, a new app for fleet leasing customers, an innovative analysis and reporting tool for fleet managers as well as the electronic driver's licence check for company car drivers were launched. In addition, the realignment of the subsidiary autohaus24 as one of the leading online car dealerships for new and used cars in Germany was driven forward and a rebranding of the brand presence was carried out.

The change of name of Sixt Leasing SE to Allane SE resolved by the Annual General Meeting on 29 June 2021 was completed on 5 August 2021. For the time being, however, the Company and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries will initially continue to operate under the familiar brand names "Sixt Leasing", "Sixt Neuwagen", "Sixt Mobility Consulting", "Autohaus24" and "Flottenmeister" vis-à-vis the market and customers. The existing business fields - Online Retail, Fleet Leasing and Fleet Management - will be continued as well. Only the Allane SE Group will operate under the newly created group name Allane Mobility Group in the future. The strategic focus remains on the digitalisation of the business model and the orientation of the organisation towards future national and international growth.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "With the milestones in the digitalisation of our business model in the first half of 2021 and the successful rebranding, we have laid the foundation to continue actively shaping the transformation of mobility, to take advantage of the attractive growth opportunities in this market and to make the Allane Mobility Group the leading multi-brand provider of comprehensive mobility solutions in Europe."

Business development
Business development continued to be affected in particular by the COVID-19 pandemic. The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field decreased by 4.3 per cent to 37,000 contracts in the period from the end of December 2020 to the end of June 2021. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field decreased by 7.1 per cent to 35,100 contracts. In the Fleet Management business unit, the contract portfolio increased by 3.1 per cent to 55,100 contracts. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased slightly by 2.1 per cent to 127,200 contracts.

Consolidated revenue decreased by 0.8 per cent during the first half of 2021 to EUR 367.3 million compared to the same period of the previous year. This is mainly attributable to the decrease in operating revenue in the Leasing business unit. Operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 9.3 per cent to EUR 194.2 million. A major impact on the decline in operating revenue was attributable to the third "lockdown" due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which, in contrast to the first "lockdown" in the prior-year period, lasted longer throughout the first half of 2021. This third "lockdown" resulted, among other things, in significantly reduced vehicle usage, causing in particular a decline in usage-related revenues, such as fuel revenues and revenue from individual service products. Moreover, leasing revenue (finance rate) decreased compared to the first half-year of 2020 due to the decline in the contract portfolio of the Leasing business unit. In contrast, sales revenue from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in Fleet Management increased by 10.8 per cent to EUR 173.1 million. This increase was partly due to the fact that fewer vehicles were sold in the comparable prior-year period as a result of the extensive restrictions on stationary motor vehicle sales during the first "lockdown" caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 10.3 per cent during the first half of 2021 to EUR 95.7 million. Earnings before taxes (EBT) decreased by 8.3 per cent to EUR 2.6 million. The operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) consequently came to 1.4 per cent (H1 2020: 1.3 per cent).

Outlook
Besides the further digitalisation of products, services, and internal processes, Allane is planning to introduce a mobility budget in the Fleet Management business unit in the 2021 financial year among other things. This is intended to give fleet customers' employees the option - as an alternative or supplement to the company car - of using means of transport such as bus, rail, bicycle, car sharing or taxi. Another focus will be on diversifying the customer portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field with smaller fleets and especially on service quality. Furthermore, in the Online Retail business field the Company intends to explore business opportunities via car dealership channel in addition to its online channel by launching a dedicated leasing portal. The goal is to significantly increase the order volume in new car leasing for private customers.

The Managing Board confirms the outlook published on 24 March 2021. Accordingly, the Managing Board expects a slight increase in the Group contract portfolio compared to the previous year (2020: 129,900 contracts) and consolidated operating revenue in the range of previous year's figure (2020: EUR 423.3 million). With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a higher single-digit million euro amount (2020: EUR 9.1 million).

The reason for the cautious forecast for the full year 2021 is, in addition to the operating business development in the 2021 financial year to date, primarily the ongoing COVID-19 situation. In this respect, the Company assumes that the market and business environment will continue to be strongly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but expects a recovery in business development in the second half of 2021. In addition, consolidated earnings will also be burdened in the 2021 financial year by transaction-related costs in connection with the takeover of the Company by HCBE.

Sixt Leasing SE is now called "Allane SE"

Pullach, 5 August 2021 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as a specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, is now called "Allane SE". With today's entry of the new name in the commercial register, the change of name resolved by the Annual General Meeting on 29 June 2021 was successfully completed.

The new name "Allane" is inspired by the traffic sign "All Lanes" and is pronounced like the English word combination "a lane" [ə'leɪn]. It thus stands for the company's comprehensive one-stop-shop approach and is intended to strengthen the perception as an international supplier. At the same time, the word creation "Allane" resembles a first name, which makes the company human and approachable.

The reason for the change of name is an agreement reached in the context of the sale of Sixt SE's approximately 42 per cent majority stake in Sixt Leasing SE, which provides for a gradual separation of Sixt Leasing SE from Sixt SE. The majority shareholding of Sixt SE was acquired - together with shares of other shareholders - on 15 July 2020 by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE), a joint venture of Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc. HCBE has since held around 92 per cent of all Sixt Leasing shares and is thus the company's new majority shareholder. With the acquisition of Sixt Leasing SE, HCBE intends to expand its position in the automotive finance sector by adding innovative mobility services to its product portfolio and expanding its fleet business both at the point of sale and online.

As part of the agreement with Sixt SE, Sixt Leasing SE has now changed its company name as a first step. All domestic and foreign subsidiaries containing the name component "Sixt" or "SXT" will also be renamed in August 2021. The business field brands Sixt Leasing, Sixt New Cars, Sixt Mobility Consulting, Autohaus24 and Flottenmeister will initially continue to operate under their familiar names and will in future appear under the newly created group name Allane Mobility Group. The gradual introduction of a new brand identity will take place in due course.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "Allane stands for what has already been the core of Sixt Leasing, namely unlimited mobility options. With the new name, we are giving our company a fresh look and at the same time continuing the proven business model of Sixt Leasing. Our goal is to become the leading multi-brand provider of comprehensive mobility solutions in Europe."

The existing business fields - Online Retail, Fleet Leasing and Fleet Management - will be continued. This also applies to the strategy: the focus remains on the digitalisation of the business model and the orientation of the organisation towards future national and international growth.

The change of name will also have no effect on existing contracts and agreements. And cooperation with customers and partners will also continue as before. Private and commercial customers can lease new vehicles at favourable rates on the online platforms sixt-neuwagen.de and autohaus24.de as usual, taking advantage of flexible term mobility for every need and budget, self-configured or in stock with completely digital processing for maximum convenience - easy, fast and fair. Corporate customers continue to receive customised solutions with proven expertise as well as B2B-oriented mobility that meets all fleet leasing requirements. They can also optimise costs and driver satisfaction with digital solutions for fleet and mobility management.

Sixt Mobility Consulting extends "Companion" app with electronic driver's licence check "DriversCheck"

• Fast, safe and efficient driving licence check via smartphone
• "Companion" app already with more than 16,000 users

Pullach, 14 July 2021 - Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH (SMC), one of the leading independent fleet management providers in Europe and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sixt Leasing SE, has equipped its smartphone app "The Companion" with the leading electronic driving licence check "DriversCheck". Thus, company car drivers of fleet customers can now check their driving licence entirely on their own and in real time - anytime and anywhere. Drivers and fleet managers are automatically notified by "DriversCheck" when a check is due. And all other control processes are also recorded automatically and reliably in the background. This eliminates the need for tedious scheduling and time-consuming documentation. Fleet managers can view the data via the "DriversCheck" portal and thus always keep an eye on all checks. They also have the option of creating reports. The "DriversCheck" convinces with simple set-up and operation and meets - also in terms of security and data protection - all legal requirements for driving licence checks.

Michael Poglitsch, Managing Director of Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH: "With the integration of the leading electronic driving licence check 'DriversCheck', we are adding another innovative feature to our powerful 'Companion' app and further advancing the digitalisation of fleet management. At the same time, we are giving company car drivers and fleet managers a fast, secure and efficient solution with which they can cost-effectively and reliably fulfil one of the most important owner obligations in fleet management. Especially in times of Corona and home office, mobile applications such as 'Companion' and 'DriversCheck' offer a great advantage."

Companies are legally obliged to regularly check the driving licences of their employees. Failure to do so can result in fines and imprisonment, among other things. With the "DriversCheck" in the "Companion" app, SMC fleet customers are supported in all matters of owner obligation. The function will initially be rolled out to customers in Germany.

Intuitive operation
In order to carry out the electronic driver's licence check with the "Companion" app, users must install the "DriversCheck" app on their smartphone. Then they open the electronic driving licence check in the "Companion" app and select the tag-checkup for German paper driving licences or the tagless checkup for German EU card driving licences. The camera function is then started so that users can capture the security features of their driving licence. During the initial check, they receive an e-mail with a request for an identity check via Videoident procedure. Users with a card driving licence scan the front and the hologram on the back of their driving licence using the camera. Those with a paper driving licence capture the verification tag, which is placed on the licence by the fleet manager during the initial check and assigned to the corresponding driver. Once the tag has been successfully recognised, users can complete the check by entering a PIN.

Useful additional functions
Drivers can also use "DriversCheck" to call up checks that have already been carried out and display the details of the type of check carried out (own check or third-party check), the name of the checker and the time stamp. In addition, they can view the driver information stored for them (user name, driving licence number and tag number) and individually adjust basic settings such as password and PIN.

"Companion" success story
The "Companion" app was launched in autumn 2019 and is now used by more than 16,000 company car drivers. The solution is used in particular by large fleet customers, such as Siemens, and is continuously being further developed. "We are proud of what we have achieved so far with the 'Companion' app", says SMC Managing Director Michael Poglitsch. "The Companion is a blueprint for digital fleet management."

Sixt Leasing SE: Annual General Meeting resolves to rename the Group "Allane SE"

Pullach, 29 June 2021 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as a specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, successfully held its virtual Annual General Meeting 2021 in Pullach today. Approximately 96 per cent of the share capital was represented altogether. The shareholders adopted all the proposals from the Supervisory Board and the Managing Board by a large majority. The items on the agenda included, in particular, the change of name of Sixt Leasing SE to "Allane SE" and the appropriation of distributable profits.

Change of name to "Allane SE"
The Annual General Meeting approved the proposal to change the name of Sixt Leasing SE to "Allane SE". The change of name is a first step on the way to an independent brand identity. In the coming years, the company will initially continue to operate under the previous brand names "Sixt Leasing", "Sixt Neuwagen" and "Sixt Mobility Consulting".

Dividend for the 2020 financial year
The Annual General Meeting also approved the proposal to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.02 per share for the 2020 financial year (previous year: EUR 0.90). The resolved dividend thus takes into account the constraints and challenges of the ongoing COVID-19 situation and corresponds to a pay-out ratio of just under 20 per cent of the consolidated profit in the 2020 financial year. The previously communicated target range of 30 to 60 per cent remains valid regardless of the pay-out ratio for the last financial year.

Future growth prospects
In his last speech as the Chairman of the Managing Board of Sixt Leasing SE, Michael Ruhl explained to the Annual General Meeting the future prospects of the company under the new company name "Allane SE" and the future umbrella brand "Allane Mobility Group". Accordingly, the proven business model of Sixt Leasing SE is to be continued. The strategic focus will continue to be on the digitalisation and internationalisation of the business model. In addition, the CEO addressed the impact of the current COVID-19 situation on Sixt Leasing's business development and confirmed the forecast for the 2021 financial year. He wished his successor Donglim Shin, who will take over as CEO on 1 July 2021, good luck.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "Our new company name 'Allane' is inspired by the street sign 'All Lanes' and thus stands for unlimited mobility possibilities. With our multi-brand one-stop-shop approach, our pan-European service, our pacing digital solutions and our financially strong major shareholder HCBE, we are ideally positioned to take off into a successful future as Allane SE and become the leading multi-brand provider of comprehensive mobility solutions."

Sixt Leasing launches innovative "FleetIntelligence" analysis tool for fleet managers

• Maximum data transparency, improved processes and significant added value for customers thanks to state-of-the-art technology
• High degree of customisability enables optimal adaptation to customer needs

Pullach, 21 June 2021 - Sixt Leasing, a specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has completely redeveloped its digital analysis tool "FleetIntelligence" and introduced it for fleet customers and managers as well as for internal analyses. The new application is based on state-of-the-art (cloud) technology and thus enables fleet managers to quickly, easily and securely analyse their fleet with regard to important parameters such as inventory, costs, sustainability and damage. In this way, "FleetIntelligence" enables fleet managers to identify optimisation potential at an early stage and to initiate appropriate measures. The analysis results of "FleetIntelligence" can be visualised individually and attractively using configurable dashboards and detailed views. This provides fleet managers with maximum transparency: from an overview of the entire fleet to the individual contract or voucher.

Patrick Kischkel, Managing Director Fleet Leasing at Sixt Leasing: "With 'FleetIntelligence' we are taking fleet management to the next level and offering our customers significant added value. In addition, with the roll-out of the application in our specialist departments, we are further advancing the digitalisation of our business model - and creating the prerequisite for further cost savings and efficiency increases."

Eric Nagel, Executive Manager Data Management at Sixt Leasing: "Our new 'FleetIntelligence' makes data analysis easier than ever before and enables fleet managers to look into the darkest corners of their fleet without much effort. This saves resources in their company and, on top of that, they also gain valuable insights into their fleet."

Extensive functions
The new "FleetIntelligence" enables analyses down to the detailed level (contract, customer, vehicle) and is divided into four main modules:

• Inventory (current inventory and orders of vehicles according to various criteria such as type, user group, infleets, current, future and overdue defleets, contracts, etc.).
• Costs (overview of vehicle costs such as maintenance, invoices, fuel costs as well as mileage and resulting credits etc.)
• Sustainability (fuel consumption, CO2 emissions of the fleet, vehicles by type of drive, etc.)
• Damage (type, costs, time of occurrence, third-party or own fault, cause, open/closed damage, etc.)

Users can add further parameters to the already preset standard filters. The analysis results can be bookmarked and thus recalled at a later time. In addition, it is possible to download the results in Excel format from the application at any time for sharing the data or for further processing in the individual modules. Moreover, training videos are available to users to help them get started with the tool.

State-of-the-art technology
"FleetIntelligence" was developed based on the Sixt Leasing Group's many years of experience in fleet leasing and fleet management. The new version uses the QlikSense platform, which accesses information along the entire life cycle of a vehicle: from ordering to vehicle return and evaluation (defleeting). Data is delivered to QlikSense via the high-speed Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) cloud storage service.
