Allane Mobility Group: autohaus24 opens strategic location in Wuppertal

Pullach, 21 November 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group ("Allane"), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, has once again expanded its offline business and opened a new autohaus24 location in Wuppertal. The geographical location of the new point of sale in an economically strong metropolitan center enables autohaus24 to significantly expand its market presence in North Rhine-Westphalia and to exploit further market potential in the Rhine-Ruhr region as well as in the neighboring BENELUX states. The location in Wuppertal adds another strategic anchor point to the three existing branch offices in Berlin/Brandenburg, Bavaria and Hesse. The official opening of the new location took place on 18 November 2023 in the presence of the Mayor of the City of Wuppertal, Dagmar Liste-Frinker.

Werner König, Managing Director of autohaus24 GmbH: "We are very pleased about the opening of our new autohaus24 location in Wuppertal. Thanks to its strategic location in one of the most densely populated areas in Germany, we can, on the one hand, tap into new market potential – even beyond Germany. On the other hand, the large size of the new location creates the conditions for a wider range of products and consequently a significant improvement in the customer experience. This will enable us to further increase our sales figures and reduce the number of days the vehicles remain on the site."

The expansion of the autohaus24 business is part of the Allane Mobility Group's growth strategy. Among other things, the strategy envisages developing autohaus24 into a Mobility Solution Center that offers optimized products and services beyond the existing range.

The geographical location of the new autohaus24 site was chosen so that previously untapped market potential in the densely populated and economically strong Rhine-Ruhr region and neighboring countries can be exploited. For example, around 25 percent of the Allane Mobility Group's existing Online Retail Leasing customers come from within a radius of 100 kilometers. With a site area of around 13,000 square meters, which offers a parking space for around 500 vehicles, the spacious location in Wuppertal is also an ideal handover location for vehicles and should make a significant contribution to reducing process times and costs and lowering CO₂ emissions by avoiding additional transport routes, e. g. for the delivery of vehicles. In this way, the Allane Mobility Group aims to optimize the customer experience and further increase customer satisfaction.

PRESS RELEASE

Allane Mobility Group: Positive business development in the first nine months with strong new business in Retail Leasing

• Consolidated revenue increased by 1.2% to EUR 561.2 million
• Group contract portfolio increased by 4.7%
• Forecast for the 2023 financial year confirmed

Pullach, 9 November 2023 – Allane Mobility Group ("Allane"), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, has performed successfully in the period from January to September 2023. While consolidated operating revenue and group contract portfolio increased compared to the same period of the previous year, consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) slightly decreased due to higher financing costs. Based on these developments, Allane confirms its forecast for the full year.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "In the first nine months of 2023, we succeeded in further expanding our contract portfolio and increasing our revenue. This is due in particular to the positive development of the Captive Leasing business, which supplements our Retail Leasing business field. It shows that we are on the right path to sustainable profitable growth with our newly developed dealer portal 'Allease' and the associated cooperations."

Business development in the first nine months of 2023
The Group contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) stood at 121,300 contracts, which is 4.7% higher than the figure as of 31 December 2022 (115,900 contracts). This positive development is primarily due to the successful cooperation with Hyundai Motor Deutschland and the roll-out of the new dealer portal "Allease."

Consolidated revenue, which includes operating revenue and sales revenue, increased by 1.2% to EUR 561.2 million in the first nine months of 2023 (9M 2022: EUR 554.6 million). Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) increased slightly by 0.6% to EUR 293.4 million (9M 2022: EUR 291.7 million). This development is mainly due to the significant increase in the contract portfolio in the Leasing business unit and the resulting rise in lease installment income, although the decline in usage-related income, particularly for fuel, had a dampening effect. Sales revenue from the sale of lease returns and the marketing of customer vehicles from Fleet Management increased by 1.8% to EUR 267.7 million (9M 2022: EUR 263.0 million). This was mainly due to a slight increase in the volume of vehicles sold resulting from the continued high demand for used vehicles, with unit prices remaining at the previous year's level.

Consolidated earnings before before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased by 9.7% to EUR 152.9 million (9M 2022: EUR 139.4 million) in the first nine months of 2023. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) recorded a decline of 3.9 percent to EUR 10.6 million (9M 2022: EUR 11.0 million) in the same period. This is mainly due to the increase in refinancing costs as a result of higher interest expenses.

Forecast for the 2023 financial year confirmed
Allane Mobility Group confirms its forecast published in the 2022 Annual Report. According to this, the Company expects a group contract portfolio in a range of 120,000 to 150,000 contracts (2022: 115,900 contracts) for the current 2023 financial year and a consolidated operating revenue between EUR 350 million and EUR 400 million (2022: EUR 385.4 million). Allane anticipates an EBT in the low double-digit million-euro range (2022: EUR 12.8 million).

The full quarterly statement as of 30 September 2023 is available for download on the Investor Relations website of Allane Mobility Group.

Allane Mobility Group extends range of services with return protection insurance for lessees in cooperation with ELEMENT

Pullach, 7 September 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group (“Allane”), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, has once again expanded its range of services and now offers private and commercial customers the "Allane Return Protection" (“Allane Rückgabeschutz”) insurance. The new offering is made in cooperation with ELEMENT Insurance AG ("ELEMENT"), Europe's only full-service B2B2X insurance platform. The Return Protection Insurance provides Allane lessees with comprehensive coverage against unexpected costs that may arise upon the return of a leased vehicle due to identified diminished value. The insurance covers a wide range of damages, including paint damage, scratches, dents, dings, interior and trunk damage, and rim damage.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane Mobility Group: ”With our new insurance, we enable our customers to minimize financial risks from the lease and offer them additional security and convenience. The 'Allane Return Protection' also supports our strategic goals of further expanding the modular service offering and placing greater focus on innovations and cooperations."

Tim Kaltofen, Vice President Sales at ELEMENT: "We are very pleased about the cooperation with Allane Mobility Group. ELEMENT's vision is to make the provision of insurances as easy and available as possible for our partners throughout the European Union. We are convinced that the end customers of Allane Mobility Group will benefit from the new insurance offer.“

The "Allane return protection" is effective when the lessor makes justified compensation claims resulting from reduced values due to excessive use of the vehicle. It applies to personal and commercial leases for up to ten vehicles on a mileage lease. The insurance is available for passenger cars and commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tons registered in Germany. The maximum insured value is EUR 210,000. The return protection insurance can be taken out for a maximum of one year before and eight weeks after the vehicle is handed over, with the term of the insurance contract corresponding to the term of the respective leasing contract. The compensation amounts to a maximum of EUR 3,000 net per leasing contract.

In the case of "Allane Return Protection", Allane acts as an intermediary, with the insurance contract being concluded between the lessee and ELEMENT. Through strategic partnerships and cooperations, Allane SE aims to continue expanding its product and service offering in the future in order to further strengthen its position in the leasing market.

Further informationen on the ”Allane Return Protection“ are available here.

DIGITAL MOBILITY BUDGET: CIRCULA AND ALLANE LAUNCH COOPERATION

Allane Mobility Group is entering into a partnership with software-as-a-service fintech Circula. The aim is to offer joint customers maximum flexibility in terms of mobility.

Pullach/Berlin, 29 August 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group (“Allane“; formerly Sixt Leasing), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, launches a partnership with Berlin-based fintech company Circula. With Circula's "Mobility as a Service" offering, Allane is now offering its fleet customers solutions for digital mobility budgets that their employees can adapt to their individual needs: From private cars to bicycles and trains, all means of transportation can be used. Billing is done very simply via the Circula app.

Ömer Köksal, Managing director of Allane Mobility Consulting GmbH: “A broad and sustainable mobility offering is becoming increasingly important for both employees and employers. As a strategic partner for mobility, we are pleased to expand our product and service offering with one of the best digital mobility budget solutions available on the market. In doing so, we are once again improving the customer experience.“

Juliette Kronauer, Head of Partnerships at Circula: “We have high standards for user-friendly digital solutions – just like the Allane Mobility Group. That makes us perfect partners. We are very much looking forward to working together and offering our joint customers new opportunities in the field of mobility.“

Billing via app: convenient and tax-compliant
The Circula app is intuitively designed and therefore very user-friendly: receipts for mobility costs - regardless of the form of mobility used - can be submitted in seconds via OCR scan or PDF parsing; the costs are then reimbursed. Each company can decide for itself whether the offer is tax-free for employees or partially taxed at a flat rate. Circula checks the submitted receipts, calculates the reimbursement and creates the files required for the monthly payroll in compliance with German tax law. For employees and their employers, this process is convenient and time-saving.

PRESS RELEASE

Allane Mobility Group: Positive business development in the first half of 2023 driven by the roll-out of the new dealer portal "Allease"

• Consolidated revenue increased by 1.8 percent to EUR 377.8 million
• Group contract portfolio slightly above the previous year's level
• Forecast for the 2023 financial year confirmed

Pullach, 24 August 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group ("Allane"), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, has performed in line with expectations in the first half of 2023. Both the consolidated operating revenue and the group contract portfolio have increased slightly compared to the previous year, while earnings before taxes (EBT) remained stable. Based on these developments, Allane confirms its full-year guidance.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "The positive development of consolidated revenue and contract portfolio in the first half of 2023 is mainly attributed to our new business field Captive Leasing and the successful roll-out of the newly developed dealer portal 'Allease'. We are confident that we will increase the number of contracts in the current financial year,  especially through the planned strategic expansion of this business pillar, and achieve sustainable profitable growth."

Business development in the first half of 2023
The Group contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) stood at 116,400 contracts, which is 0.5 percent higher than the figure as of December 31, 2022 (115,900 contracts). This was primarily due to the successful cooperation with Hyundai Motor Germany and the roll-out of the new dealer portal "Allease".

Consolidated revenue, which includes operating revenue and sales revenue, increased by 1.8 percent in the first half of 2023, reaching EUR 377.8 million (H1 2022: EUR 371.2 million). However, the consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) decreased slightly by 0.7 percent to EUR 192.0 million (H1 2022: EUR 193.3 million). This development was influenced by expiring customer contracts in the Fleet Management business unit. Sales revenue from the sale of lease returns and the marketing of customer vehicles from Fleet Management increased by 4.5 percent to EUR 185.8 million (H1 2022: EUR 177.9 million). With a constant sales volume, the unit prices of the vehicles sold increased due to continued high demand for used cars.

The earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased by 6.1 percent to EUR 98.5 million in the first half of 2023 (H1 2022: EUR 92.9 million). However, the earnings before taxes (EBT) remained stable at EUR 6.9 million (H1 2022: EUR 6.9 million). EBT was particularly affected by higher refinancing costs due to rising interest rates.

Forecast for the 2023 financial year confirmed
Allane Mobility Group confirms its forecast published in the 2022 annual report. According to this, the Company expects a group contract portfolio in a range of 120,000 to 150,000 contracts for the current 2023 financial year (2022: 115,900 contracts) and a consolidated operating revenue between EUR 350 million and EUR 400 million (2022: EUR 385.4 million). Allane anticipates an EBT in the low double-digit million-euro range (2022: EUR 12.8 million).

The full half-year financial report as of 30 June 2023, is available for download on the Investor Relations website of Allane Mobility Group.

• Dividend increase to 0.09 euros per share approved
• Ross Williams and Keunbae Hong newly elected to the Supervisory Board by the Annual General Meeting
• Managing Board and Supervisory Board discharged for the 2022 financial year

Pullach, 03 July 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group (“Allane“), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, successfully held its 2023 virtual Annual General Meeting on 30 June 2023. Shareholders approved the resolutions proposed by the Managing Board and Supervisory Board with a large majority. A total of around 95,67 percent of the voting share capital was represented at the Annual General Meeting.

In his speech, Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE, looked back on a successful 2022 financial year in which earnings before taxes (EBT) more than doubled on stable consolidated operating sales. "With our new strategy 'FAST LANE 27' we are on the right track and can resume our profitable growth path. A year ago, I presented the individual thrusts of our strategy – innovations, collaborations and internationalization – to our shareholders for the first time. Behind this is a comprehensive action plan, the implementation of which we have already proceeded as planned over the past few months. In particular, we have made significant progress in establishing our new Captive Leasing business pillar. The first positive effects are already reflected in the figures for the first quarter of 2023," emphasized Donglim Shin.

Resolutions of the Annual General Meeting 2023

The shareholders approved the resolution on the appropriation of profits by the Managing Board and Supervisory Board. Accordingly, Allane SE will distribute a dividend of 0.09 euros per share for the 2022 financial year, which is three eurocents higher than in the previous year.

After the previous members of the Supervisory Board Su Ho Kim (with effect from 13 April 2023) and Hyung Seok Lee (with effect from the end of this year's Annual General Meeting) had resigned their mandates, a corresponding by-election was held for the vacant positions on the Supervisory Board. The Annual General Meeting elected Ross Williams and Keunbae Hong as new members of the Supervisory Board – in each case for the period until the end of the Annual General Meeting which resolves on the ratification of the actions of the Supervisory Board member for the 2023 financial year.

Other resolutions adopted at the Annual General Meeting included the approval of the actions of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board for the 2023 financial year, the approval of the remuneration report, the approval of a control and profit and loss transfer agreement between Allane SE and One Mobility Management GmbH, and various amendments to the Articles of Association. With the resolved amendments to the Articles of Association, it will be possible to hold virtual Annual General Meetings in accordance with the new stock corporation law regime after the expiry of the transitional provision set out in the law.

The represented shareholders elected PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich, as auditor for the 2023 financial year and as auditor for a review or audit of financial reports or financial information during the year.

The detailed voting results are available on the website of Allane SE at https://ir.allane-mobility-group.com/websites/allane/English/3600/annual-general-meeting-2023.html.

PRESS RELEASE

Allane Mobility Group: Positive development in consolidated operating revenue and earnings in the first quarter of 2023

• Group operating revenue increased to EUR 96.6 million
• Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) increased slightly to EUR 4.44 million
• Group contract portfolio slightly down
• Forecast for the 2023 financial year confirmed

Pullach, 11 May 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group (“Allane“), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, today published its quarterly statement for the first three months of the 2023 financial year. Accordingly, both consolidated operating revenue and earnings before taxes (EBT) increased compared to the same period last year, while the Group's contract portfolio showed a slight decrease. Overall, the Company developed in line with expectations. For the full year 2023, Allane expects an increase in the Group contract portfolio.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: “The first quarter has shown that our growth strategy 'FAST LANE 27' is already making an impact and is having a positive effect on the development of our consolidated operating revenue. We are confident that we will also be able to expand our contract portfolio in the current financial year – in particular through our Captive Leasing business pillar, which we have only just begun to build up in 2022."

Business development in the first quarter of 2023
The Group contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) amounted to 114,400 contracts, 1.3 percent below the figure as of 31 December 2022 (115,900 contracts).

Consolidated revenue, which includes operating sales and sales revenue, decreased by 0.6 percent in the first quarter of 2023, falling slightly to EUR 188.6 million (Q1 2022: EUR 189.8 million). By contrast, consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) increased slightly by 0.8 percent to EUR 96.6 million (Q1 2022: EUR 95.8 million). This was due to the increase in usage-related revenues, such as fuel revenues and revenues from individual service products, which had still been impacted by COVID-19 measures in the prior-year quarter. Sales revenue from the sale of lease returns and the marketing of customer vehicles from Fleet Management decreased by 2.1 percent and thus slightly to EUR 92.0 million (Q1 2022: EUR 94.0 million). This development results in particular from the decline in sales volume due to a reduced remarketing portfolio following a low contract portfolio and a higher number of contract prolongations.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) improved by 5.5 percent to EUR 50.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 (Q1 2022: EUR 47.6 million). Earnings before taxes (EBT) increased by 0.5 percent to EUR 4.44 million (Q1 2022: EUR 4.42 million), resulting from a decrease in expenses for fleet and leased assets. This positive effect was countered by the increase in depreciation on leased assets and the increase in refinancing costs due to higher interest expenses. As a result, the operating return on revenue (EBT/Consolidated revenue) remained stable at 4.6 percent (Q1 2022: at 4.6 percent).

Outlook for the 2023 financial year confirmed
The Allane Mobility Group confirms its forecast published in the 2022 Annual Report. According to this, Allane Mobility Group expects its Group contract portfolio for the current 2023 financial year to be in a range of 120,000 to 150,000 contracts (2022: 115,860 contracts) and consolidated operating revenue to be between EUR 350 million and EUR 400 million (2022: EUR 385.4 million). For EBT, the company expects a low double-digit million-euro amount (2022: EUR 12.8 million).

The full quarterly statement as of 31 March 2023 is available for download on the Allane Mobility Group Investor Relations website.

Allane Mobility Group introduces new brand names as part of rebranding process

Pullach, March 29, 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group (formerly Sixt Leasing), a specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, introduces a new brand identity in its fleet business. As of April 2023, fleet leasing will be managed under the brand "Allane Fleet" (previously "Sixt Leasing") and fleet management under the brand "Allane Mobility Consulting" (previously "Sixt Mobility Consulting"), including a new corporate identity. This measure is part of the comprehensive rebranding process started in 2022 at the level of the Allane Mobility Group.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "As announced, we are now establishing the Allane brand in our business fields and thus standardizing our market presence. The renaming will take place gradually. For the fleet business, we plan to complete the rebranding process by the end of the current financial year."

Until all relevant platforms and systems have been converted, the previous brand names "Sixt Leasing" and "Sixt Mobility Consulting" will still be visible in certain places.

In addition, the B2C brands "Sixt Neuwagen" and "autohaus24" will be expanded to include the addition "powered by Allane" from April 2023.

The rebranding transfers the name change of the Allane Mobility Group, which took place in the 2021 financial year, into the Company's brand identity. The name "Allane" is inspired by the traffic sign "All Lanes". It stands for the Company's comprehensive one-stop-shop approach and is also intended to strengthen its perception as an international provider. At the same time, the word "Allane" resembles a first name, which makes the Company human and approachable.

The logos of the brands "Allane Fleet" and "Allane Mobility Consulting" are available for download here.
