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.

Press release

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.

Allane Mobility Group receives certification 'VMF – DIE FAIRE FAHRZEUGBEWERTUNG' and strengthens its position in the leasing market 


EQS-Media / 13.07.2023 / 09:57 CET/CEST

PRESS RELEASE

Allane Mobility Group receives certification "VMF – DIE FAIRE FAHRZEUGBEWERTUNG" and strengthens its position in the leasing market 

Pullach, 13 July 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group ("Allane"), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, has received the certification "VMF – DIE FAIRE FAHRZEUGBEWERTUNG" ("VMF Certification"). It confirms that Allane applies the criteria for "Fair Vehicle Valuation" according to the association of brand-independent mobility and fleet management companies (“Verband markenunabhängiger Mobilitäts- und Fuhrparkmanagementgesellschaften e. V.”; “VMF”). Thus, Allane Mobility Group relies on a transparent and fair procedure in the vehicle return process. The certification was preceded by a comprehensive review of defined criteria. It applies to all Allane brands and is valid for one year. Allane plans to have the certification renewed regularly on the basis of follow-up audits.

The VMF certification not only confirms Allane Mobility Group's expertise and competence, but also its reputation as a trustworthy leasing company. At the same time, the certification strengthens the company's position in the competitive environment and opens up various new opportunities, such as participation in tenders in the fleet sector.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane Mobility Group: "We are very proud of the VMF certification. In line with our strategy, we can once again position ourselves in the market as a competent and customer-friendly leasing provider. In addition, the certification is a promise to our customers that they will receive fair and transparent leasing services from us."

For the certification, Allane had undergone a thorough audit by the independent DEKRA Assurance Services GmbH. As part of the audit, Allane Mobility Group's return processes were checked at various stations – including the preparation of condition reports in the presence of customers and the subsequent contract billing. The final audit report confirms the high quality and professionalism of all Allane Mobility Group's return and billing processes.

At Allane, the return of leased vehicles is carried out according to defined standards. To ensure maximum transparency and neutrality, the condition of the vehicle is assessed by a vehicle expert at the time of return. Based on the condition survey including photo documentation, this expert prepares an appraisal of the vehicle's reduced value. Damage is not calculated on the basis of the respective repair costs but only on the basis of the significantly lower reduced value, if calculated on a pro rata basis according to the assessment criteria, i.e. the amount by which the sales value of the vehicle is reduced due to the damage. At the same time, the age and mileage of the vehicle are always taken into account. Before parts are replaced, the appraiser always checks the possibility of a repair.

The VMF acts as an advisor and impulse provider for its members and premium partners in the area of OEM-independent mobility concepts for private and corporate customers. By developing and adopting uniform quality standards for the industry, the VMF ensures fair and transparent cooperation for customers of VMF members.

PRESS RELEASE

Allane Mobility Group successfully holds virtual Annual General Meeting 2023

  • 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. This brings the payout ratio measured against consolidated net income for the 2022 financial year to around 21 percent.

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.

Allane Mobility Group cooperates with ryd: Faster and cheaper refueling at over 3,500 partner gas stations in Germany


EQS-Media / 01.06.2023 / 09:25 CET/CEST

PRESS RELEASE

Allane Mobility Group cooperates with ryd: Faster and cheaper refueling at over 3,500 partner gas stations in Germany

Pullach, 01 June 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group („Allane“), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, has entered into a cooperation* with the mobile payment provider ryd GmbH ("ryd"). Sixt Neuwagen customers can now pay for fuel at more than 3,500 petrol stations in Germany via the ryd app and receive a 2 cent discount per litre of fuel filled up during the first six months after delivery of their new vehicle. The offer applies to all new customers who conclude a leasing or vario-leasing contract for a vehicle with a diesel or petrol engine. ryd makes the refuelling process considerably easier and shorter: ryd users can pay for the fuel they have filled up directly in the app from their car without having to enter the gas station. The ryd network includes petrol stations throughout Germany, including those of Aral, HEM, Sprint and Allguth. The offer period ends on 30 June 2024.

Philipp Schwenke, Managing Director Online Retail at Allane Mobility Group: “We are continuously working on improving the customer experience and are particularly pleased about the cooperation with ryd. The collaboration once again makes mobility more digital and easier for our customers. New customers who pay via ryd pay benefit twice: they save time as well as money.“

The payment process with ryd pay is not only fast and convenient, but also secure according to banking standards thanks to security and encryption mechanisms. ryd pay users can use the service free of charge at all over 3,500 partner petrol stations in Germany.

Further information on the Sixt Leasing offer is available here. Image material is available here.

* The campaign is organised by ryd GmbH (Landsberger Str. 94, 80339 Munich) and Allane SE (Dr.-Carl-von-Linde-Str. 2, 82049 Pullach).

Allane customers who receive an individual ryd registration code from Allane during the campaign period (01.06.2023 - 30.06.2024) and have registered with ryd are eligible to participate. Among other things, a payment method must also be deposited in order to complete registration. Customers can deposit Apple Pay, Google Pay and credit cards (Mastercard and VISA). The registration code will be sent by Allane by e-mail at the earliest two weeks before delivery of the leased vehicle ordered.

Eligible customers will receive a special discount on every litre of fuel (excluding hydrogen, LNG, AdBlue, hybrid vehicles) refuelled via the ryd app in the ryd pay network for a maximum of 6 months from registration with ryd. Registration must be completed by 30.06.2024 at the latest. This special discount is 0.02 EUR/litre (gross). The discount is active immediately after registration and is stored in the account invisibly for the customer. It is immediately offset against ryd during the next refuelling process and can be seen on the fuel bill. At the end of the customer's leasing contract with Allane, the entitlement to the special discount expires at the same time.

The fuel discount is to be used exclusively for refuelling the leased vehicle for which the customers have concluded a contract with Allane.

The use of the fuel discount is based on the mileage of the concluded leasing or vario leasing contract and the average consumption of the leased vehicle. If the discount is used in a way that exceeds the predicted average consumption according to the manufacturer's specifications by 20% or more, Allane and ryd reserve the right to block the discount code.

Exchanges, transfers or cash refunds are excluded. The fuel discount cannot be combined with other promotions, fuel discounts or vouchers. If there are several vouchers, the one that expires first will always be redeemed first.

Eligible customers will be shown an additional step in the payment flow of the ryd app to enter the vehicle's mileage there before the payment process. This step is optional and can also be skipped without entry.

The person responsible at ryd within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation is:

ryd GmbH
Landsbergerstrasse 94
80339 Munich
Telephone: +49 89 120 89343
E-mail: [email protected]

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.

EQS-Media / 03.05.2023 / 09:07 CET/CEST

PRESS RELEASE

Allane Mobility Group and EnBW launch cooperation: over 400,000 charging points for e-vehicles at attractive conditions

Pullach, 03 Mai 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group („Allane“), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, has entered into a cooperation with the energy company EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG ("EnBW"). Subject of the cooperation is the extension of services for Sixt Neuwagen customers who conclude a leasing or vario-leasing contract for an e-vehicle. As part of the cooperation, they receive a free EnBW mobility+ charging card and can use the EnBW mobility+ charging tariff M for six months without a basic fee. The package thus includes access to the EnBW HyperNetz with more than 400,000 charging points in 17 European countries, which also includes the charging points of hundreds of other operators. Throughout these locations, Sixt Neuwagen customers can charge at any time at uniform and transparent prices per kilowatt hour.

Philipp Schwenke, Managing Director Online Retail Allane Mobility Group: “We are very pleased to be working with EnBW, which is in line with our growth strategy. In this way, we offer our customers attractive additional services that make mobility easier, while at the same time creating an incentive to switch to environmentally friendly e-mobility. This supports our goal of further increasing the share of e-vehicles in our contract portfolio.“

In addition to its offering for car drivers, EnBW itself operates the largest fast-charging network in Germany. It is continuing to expand its fast-charging infrastructure of the highest performance class throughout the country on highways, in city centers and at various retail partners. The energy company operates all fast-charging sites with 100 percent green electricity.

Use of the voucher in the EnBW mobility+ app
At the start of a leasing or vario-leasing contract with Sixt Neuwagen, eligible e-vehicle customers will receive a voucher for six months' basic charge at €5.99 each when booking the EnBW mobility+ charging tariff M in the free EnBW mobility+ app. The total value is thus around €36. The tariff can be cancelled or changed on a monthly basis.

Further information on the multiple award-winning EnBW mobility+ app and the EnBW mobility+ charging rates can be found here.

sixt-neuwagen.de offers immediate payment of the GHG bonus


EQS-Media / 05.04.2023 / 10:04 CET/CEST

sixt-neuwagen.de offers immediate payment of the GHG bonus

Pullach, April 5, 2023
- The Allane Mobility Group (formerly Sixt Leasing), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, now offers the immediate payout of the GHG bonus to all electric car owners. The guaranteed payout amount is 225 euros and is reimbursed within 5 business days after successful submission of the required documentation. This amount is significantly higher than the offers for immediate payout of the GHG bonus currently available on the market. Alternatively, owners of e-vehicles can opt for the GHG bonus payout around 3 months later. With this payout option, the guaranteed payout amount is 275 euros.

Philipp Schwenke, Managing Director Online Retail at Allane Mobility Group: "The GHG bonus applies per vehicle and per year. This means that e-vehicle owners can reapply for the bonus every year. With our new offer with immediate payment, we are thus offering them more flexibility."

Five steps to the application
The bonus application process on sixt-neuwagen.de is simple and consists of four steps:

  1. Selection between private and commercial customer
  2. Entering the first and last name, e-mail address and a password
  3. Upload the front of the registration certificate part 1 (+ ID for immediate payment).
  4. Choose between immediate or delayed payment
  5. Entering the account details for the payment of the GHG bonus

Mode of action of the GHG quota
The GHG quota is a grant from the Federal Environment Agency for CO2 emissions saved. The aim of the quota is to promote the switch to climate-friendly drive systems. Savings can be quantified by means of the GHG quota calculation and certified by the Federal Environment Agency (German: “Umweltbundesamt”). The resulting certificates are then sold to mineral oil companies and other companies subject to quotas, which are legally obliged to save greenhouse gases and reduce their CO2 emissions.

More information on the GHG bonus and the application process is available here.

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

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

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.

Allane Mobility Group significantly increases earnings in 2022 while consolidated operating revenue remains stable

EQS-News: Allane SE / Key word(s): Preliminary Results
Allane Mobility Group significantly increases earnings in 2022 while consolidated operating revenue remains stable
23.03.2023 / 08:30 CET/CEST
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

PRESS RELEASE

Allane Mobility Group significantly increases earnings in 2022 while consolidated operating revenue remains stable

  • Consolidated operating revenue of EUR 385.4 million at the level of the prior year
  • Earnings before taxes increase by 109.0 percent to EUR 12.8 million
  • Group contract portfolio decreases 10.1 percent to 115,900 contracts
  • Successful launch of the FAST LANE 27 strategy

Pullach, March 23, 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group (formerly Sixt Leasing), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, significantly improved its earnings in the 2022 financial year in a challenging market environment. According to preliminary calculations, earnings before taxes (EBT) more than doubled in the 2022 financial year while consolidated operating revenue remained stable. Business performance was negatively impacted in particular by the continuing supply bottlenecks for new vehicles and the resulting decline in the contract portfolio. This was accompanied by the macroeconomic impact of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "The 2022 financial year was again challenging for us. Nevertheless, we succeeded in keeping our consolidated operating revenue stable and significantly improving our earnings. We presented our new growth strategy and have already successfully implemented the first measures. With our in-house developed 'Allease' dealer platform, we have laid an important foundation for future growth. In the 2022 financial year, for example, we have already secured numerous new contracts through our cooperation with Hyundai. In the new financial year, we want to grow in all business areas, in other words on 'all lanes'."

Business development
In the Retail Leasing business field, the contract portfolio as of December 31, 2022 was down 3.5 percent year-on-year to 35,300 contracts. In the Fleet Leasing business field, the number of contracts was slightly above the previous year's level at 33,600, an increase of 0.8 percent. In the Fleet Management business unit, the number of contracts fell by 20.3 percent to 47,000. Overall, the Group contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) was down 10.1 percent on the prior-year figure at 115,900 contracts.

According to preliminary calculations, consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) was in line with the previous year at EUR 385.4 million. Sales revenue from the sale of lease returns and the marketing of customer vehicles from Fleet Management fell by 6.4 percent to EUR 331.6 million. Despite continued high demand and rising unit prices for used vehicles, this development resulted mainly from a decline in sales volumes, which in turn was due to a lower contract portfolio and a higher number of contract prolongations in the Leasing business unit. Consolidated revenue, which includes consolidated operating revenue and sales revenue, therefore fell slightly by 3.2 percent to EUR 717.0 million.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased slightly by 0.6 percent to EUR 185.1 million in the 2022 financial year. Earnings before taxes (EBT) improved significantly by 109.0 percent to EUR 12.8 million. This was mainly due to lower depreciation and amortization and a significant improvement in the financial result.

Implementation of the new growth strategy FAST LANE 27
In the 2022 financial year, Allane Mobility Group presented its new growth strategy FAST LANE 27. The focus of the strategy, which is to be implemented by 2027, is on the strategic development of the business model. FAST LANE 27 includes a comprehensive package of measures aimed at getting Allane back on the growth track to become the leading multi-brand provider of comprehensive mobility solutions in Europe in the long term. The new strategy also anchors the goal of becoming more sustainable by further increasing the proportion of alternative drives in Allane's fleet and promoting green mobility solutions.

In the 2022 financial year, Allane Mobility Group introduced two new business pillars – On-Site Retail and Captive Leasing – as part of its strategy implementation. While On-Site Retail includes the business of autohaus24, the core of the Captive Leasing business pillar consists of the “Allease” dealer portal newly developed by Allane. In this context, Allane has already launched a cooperation with Hyundai Motor Germany. Under the "HYUNDAI Leasing" brand, the 490 German Hyundai dealerships can work with Allane as a leasing partner and offer their customers attractive leasing rates directly on site.

The final and audited figures for the 2022 financial year and an outlook for the 2023 financial year will be announced by Allane Mobility Group with the publication of the Annual Report 2022 on April 28, 2023.

Mer and Allane expand collaboration to promote electromobility: Smart charging solution for company car users


EQS-Media / 02.02.2023 / 09:55 CET/CEST

Mer and Allane expand collaboration to promote electromobility: Smart charging solution for company car users

A new partnership between Mer Solutions and the Allane Mobility Group combines expertise in charging solutions, fleet management and leasing

Munich, February 2, 2023 – Mer Solutions, specialist for holistic charging solutions in the operation of electrified company cars, cooperates with the Allane Mobility Group ("Allane"; formerly Sixt Leasing) and supports the group of companies as a competent partner in the field of electromobility. Thus, the two companies are making the holistic charging solution "eeFlat" available to Allane Mobility Group customers with immediate effect. In this way, Allane customers will in future benefit from Mer's expertise in the areas of charging solutions for company locations, public charging of e-vehicles, and the creation of an all-round package for e-service vehicle drivers.

With "eeFlat," Mer offers e-car drivers an integrated charging solution that enables charging both at the company site and from home. "eeFlat" includes the installation of a wallbox in the private garage of the company car drivers as well as the complete service and maintenance. Through the additional integration of a smart meter gateway, intelligent control of the charging process can also be achieved, so that the electricity only flows when the network has a low load and the electricity consumption allows it – e.g. at night. In addition, users receive a charging card that allows them to charge their electric vehicle not only at home and at the company site, but also at over 200,000 charging points across Europe. Mer obtains all the energy required for the charging process from certified green electricity.

"We are pleased to expand our cooperation with Allane in the form of another innovative mobility project and thus continue to support company car drivers in taking the step into electromobility," says Stefan Schneider, Corporate Partner Manager at Mer. "The expertise of the Allane Mobility Group in fleet management and our know-how in the field of charging solutions for the electric corporate fleet complement each other perfectly. This means that in the future, customers will receive a comprehensive overall offering in the field of electromobility services."

"In order to further improve our customers' experience, we want to offer the best possible advice at all times – especially in the area of electromobility, which is becoming increasingly important," explains Matthias Birkle, Senior Key Account Manager at Allane Mobility Group. "We are therefore delighted to be working closely with Mer and creating sustainable added value for our customers based on the combined expertise."

Allane Mobility Group: Leasing cooperation with Hyundai Motor Germany
 

Pullach, 01 February 2023 – The Allane Mobility Group (formerly Sixt Leasing), specialist for vehicle leasing and full-service solutions in Germany, has entered into a cooperation with Hyundai Motor Germany ("Hyundai"). Under the "HYUNDAI Leasing" brand, the 490 German Hyundai dealerships can now work with Allane as a leasing partner and offer their customers attractive leasing rates directly on site via a dealer portal newly developed by Allane. Following an extensive test phase with selected dealers, almost all German Hyundai dealers have now started working with Allane.

The leasing process and all other services are handled by the Allane Mobility Group in close cooperation with the dealer. In addition, Hyundai dealers have the option of acquiring the vehicles themselves at the end of the lease term and offering them as attractive and certified used cars under the “Hyundai Promise” program or leaving the marketing of the returned vehicles to Allane.

Not only the participating Hyundai dealers benefit from the cooperation, but also their customers: The close cooperation between Hyundai and Allane, a subsidiary of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH, enables customized leasing offers for Hyundai vehicles at attractive rates.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "We are pleased to now offer our full-service leasing offers directly to dealers under the “HYUNDAI Leasing” brand. This allows us to increase our customer base and at the same time further expand our contract portfolio. In the future, Hyundai customers will thus also be able to benefit from our comprehensive service at authorized local dealers, which includes attractive offers as well as smooth processing of services over the entire term of a leasing contract."

As part of the cooperation, Allane and Hyundai have developed a new dealer portal called "Allease". Based on an intensive exchange with the dealers, Allane is further expanding the IT system to continuously optimize its quality.

Allane Mobility Consulting cooperates with ADAC and expands service offering for fleet customers: Convenient application for the GHG bonus for e-vehicles


EQS-Media / 25.01.2023 / 10:44 CET/CEST

Allane Mobility Consulting cooperates with ADAC and expands service offering for fleet customers: Convenient application for the GHG bonus for e-vehicles

Pullach, 25 January 2023
– Die Allane Mobility Group (ehemals Sixt Leasing), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, is now offering its fleet customers the opportunity to apply for the greenhouse gas reduction bonus (GHG bonus) for e-vehicles with a service fee through Allane Mobility Consulting. The service package includes the application and sale of the GHG quota and is implemented in cooperation with ADAC. For the year 2022, Allane Mobility Consulting guarantees a minimum premium of 350 euros per certificate. Customers who are already ADAC members will receive a premium of 370 euros. All owners of a purely battery-powered electric vehicle are eligible to receive the GHG bonus. It is still possible to apply for the GHG quota for 2022 until 31 January 2023.

Ömer Köksal, Spokesperson for the Management of Allane Mobility Consulting: „The GHG bonus is an excellent instrument for promoting electromobility and saving CO2 emissions at the same time. To simplify the process, we offer our customers an efficient service package. This way, fleet customers benefit from the attractive bonus and fleet managers can concentrate on their core business without having to deal with time-consuming application process.“

Two steps to the application
The bonus application process on the Allane website is designed to be simple and consists of two steps for fleet customers:

  1. Submission of the registration certificate part 1
  2. Signing of the GHG sales contract incl. provision of the account data for the premium payment.

All further process steps are handled by Allane Mobility Consulting.

Mode of operation of the GHG quota
The GHG quota is a subsidy from the Federal Environment Agency for CO2 emissions saved. The aim of the quota is above all to promote the switch to climate-friendly drive trains. Savings can be quantified using the GHG quota calculation and certified by the Federal Environment Agency. The resulting certificates are then sold to petroleum companies and other companies subject to quotas, which are legally obligated to save greenhouse gases and reduce their CO2 emissions.

Already since 2022, the Allane Mobility Group offers all owners of electric vehicles to apply for the GHG quota via sixt-neuwagen.de.

More information about the GHG premium and how to apply via Allane Mobility Consulting is available here.

Allane Mobility Group: Significant improvement in earnings in the first nine months of 2022

EQS-News: Allane SE / Key word(s): Quarterly / Interim Statement/Quarter Results
Allane Mobility Group: Significant improvement in earnings in the first nine months of 2022

Allane Mobility Group: Significant improvement in earnings in the first nine months of 2022

  • Group’s contract portfolio at 118,200 as of reporting date
  • Consolidated revenue down slightly to EUR 554.6 million
  • Earnings before taxes (EBT) increase significantly to EUR 11.0 million
  • Implementation of new "FAST LANE 27" growth strategy

Pullach, 09 November 2022 – The Allane Mobility Group (“Allane”), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, recorded a slight decrease in consolidated revenue and a significant increase in earnings before taxes (EBT) in the first nine months of 2022. The Group's contract portfolio decreased compared with the prior-year figure and amounted to 118,200 contracts as of September 30, 2022.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: “Although our contract portfolio declined further in the third quarter, we are benefiting from the positive development in the used car market thanks to our diversified business model. As a result, we significantly increased our earnings in the first nine months. We expect that demand and price levels in the used car market will remain high until the end of the year and that we will remain able to sell lease returns at high margins.“

Business performance
The Allane Mobility Group's business performance in the first nine months of 2022 was impacted by the continuing supply bottlenecks for new vehicles and the associated decline in contracts. In addition, the overall economic situation continues to be negatively impacted by the current Russia-Ukraine war. The Group’s contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) amounted to 118,200 contracts as of 30 September 2022, down 8.2 per cent on the prior-year figure (31 December 2021: 128,800 contracts). The contract portfolio in the Retail Leasing business field (Online Retail and Captive Leasing) decreased by 4.9 per cent to 34,700 contracts in the period from the end of December 2021 to the end of September 2022 (31 December 2021: 36,500 contracts), while it remained at the prior-year level in the Fleet Leasing business field at 33,200 contracts (31 December 2021: 33,300 contracts). In the Fleet Management business unit, the contract portfolio fell to 50,300 contracts, a decrease of 14.7 per cent year-on-year (31 December 2021: 59,000 contracts).

Consolidated revenue in the first nine months of 2022 fell slightly by 2.0 per cent to EUR 554.6 million (9M 2021: EUR 565.8 million) compared to the same period of the previous year. This development is mainly due to the supply bottlenecks for new cars and the resulting decline in contracts. Consolidated operating revenue, which does not include revenue from vehicle sales, increased by 0.1 per cent to 291.7 million euros (9M 2021: 291.5 million euros) and thus remained at the level of the previous year. Sales revenue from the sale of lease returns and the marketing of customer vehicles from fleet management decreased by 4.2 per cent to 263.0 million euros (9M 2021: 274.4 million euros). This development mainly results from a decline in sales volume despite continuing high demand and rising unit prices for used cars.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased by 2.1 per cent to EUR 139.4 million in the first nine months of 2022 (9M 2021: EUR 142.3 million). By contrast, earnings before taxes (EBT) increased significantly by 137.3 per cent to EUR 11.0 million (9M 2021: EUR 4.6 million). The operating return on revenue (EBT/consolidated operating revenue) therefore also improved significantly to 3.8 per cent (9M 2021: 1.6 per cent). The increased EBT in the first three quarters is mainly due to the high price level on the used car market and the resulting high margin on the sale of lease returns, lower depreciation on leased assets and an improvement in the financial result.

Consistent implementation of the new "FAST LANE 27" growth strategy
The Allane Mobility Group had presented its new growth strategy "FAST LANE 27" at this year's Annual General Meeting. The focus of "FAST LANE 27" is on the strategic further development of the business model. In this context, the Allane Mobility Group is further expanding its offering in the existing business areas and placing greater emphasis on innovation and cooperation. Another important component of "FAST LANE 27" is the goal of becoming more sustainable. The first "FAST LANE 27" measures were already implemented in the third quarter. For example, the Allane Mobility Group expanded its offering in the third quarter of 2022 to include trade-ins for used vehicles. Customers as well as non-customers thus have the option of either selling their old vehicle to Allane or trading it in when ordering a new vehicle. In addition, since the third quarter of 2022, the Allane Mobility Group has enabled all owners of electric cars to apply for the greenhouse gas reduction premium (GHG premium) via the sixt-neuwagen.de platform and guarantees a minimum premium of 365 euros per certificate for the year 2022.

Outlook
The Allane Mobility Group adjusted the forecast for the financial year on 2 November 2022. Accordingly, for the current 2022 financial year, the Company continues to expect a consolidated contract portfolio in a range of 110,000 to 130,000 contracts (2021: 128,800 contracts) and consolidated operating revenue of between EUR 350.0 million and EUR 400.0 million (2021: EUR 386.0 million). Based on the business development in the first nine months of 2022, the Management Board of Allane SE now expects that the Company will achieve a Group-EBT of between EUR 11 million and EUR 15 million in the current 2022 financial year. The main reasons for the raise of the EBT forecast are the high demand and the corresponding high price level on the used vehicle market, and the resulting still high margin of Allane SE on the sale of lease returns.

The full quarterly statement as of 30 September 2022 is available for download on the Allane Mobility Group Investor Relations website.

Allane Mobility Group continues to expand its offering: Complete winter wheels now available as individual product


DGAP-Media / 12.09.2022 / 09:00 CET/CEST

Allane Mobility Group continues to expand its offering: Complete winter wheels now available as individual product

Pullach, 12 September 2022 – The Allane Mobility Group (formerly Sixt Leasing), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, is expanding its range of products and services and now also offers complete winter wheels as an individual product. Thus, both customers and non-customers can now purchase complete winter wheels via sixt-neuwagen.de and autohaus24 and receive wheel fitting and initial storage of the summer wheels free of charge. With this new offer, the Allane Mobility Group is simultaneously expanding the collaboration with its long-standing cooperation partner ATU, who orders and delivers the complete winter wheels. Already before, customers of sixt-neuwagen.de had the possibility to purchase complete winter wheels when concluding a leasing contract. However, the offer was only valid at the time of concluding the contract and thus exclusively for Sixt Neuwagen customers.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "We are pleased that with the winter complete wheels as an individual product, we can not only increase the flexibility of Sixt Neuwagen customers, but also appeal to all vehicle owners who are looking for affordable winter complete wheels. In addition, we are now also offering our inspection package to a wider customer base, further improving the customer experience."

Expansion of the offering through cooperation with ATU
Customers of the Allane Mobility Group have the option of taking advantage of an inspection package. The package includes, among other things, a 10 percent discount card, applicable to the purchase of all services and selected products from ATU.* This offer was previously already available to Sixt Neuwagen customers and now also applies to autohaus24 customers. The Allane Mobility Group and ATU have been working together since 2009.

Further information on the complete winter wheel offer is available here.

*The discount card is applicable for the purchase of goods and services, including promotions and inserts. Only items and services that continue to be non-discountable are excluded, such as the main inspection, third-party purchases, all services paid for by insurance, vouchers, value cheques, aluminium rims from third-party manufacturers (except Aluett and Europe), deposits and used parts, rental cars, special orders, etc.

Allane Mobility Group publishes Half-Year Financial Report 2022

  • Consolidated revenue rose by 1.1 per cent to EUR 371.2 million
  • Earnings before taxes (EBT) increased significantly by 161.9 per cent to EUR 6.9 million
  • Presentation of the new "FAST LANE 27" growth strategy
  • Adjusted forecast for the 2022 financial year confirmed

Pullach, 24 August 2022 – The Allane Mobility Group (formerly Sixt Leasing), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has recorded a slight increase in consolidated revenue and a significant increase in earnings before taxes (EBT) in the first half of 2022.

Profitable growth through „FAST LANE 27“
In order to meet changing customer needs and to sustain profitable growth, the Allane Mobility Group has realigned its strategy and presented it at this year's Annual General Meeting. The focus of "FAST LANE 27" is on the strategic development of the business model. Among other things, the established three business pillars are to be expanded with Captive Leasing as the fourth and On-Site-Retail as the fifth pillar.

Moreover, the Allane Mobility Group intends to further expand its offering in the existing business areas by taking into account trends such as Car-as-a-Service, used car leasing, electromobility as well as modular services in the area of Corporate Mobility. At the same time, innovation and cooperations are also to be given greater focus. Another important component of "FAST LANE 27" is the goal of becoming more sustainable. For this purpose, the Company is further increasing the share of alternative drive systems in its fleet and promoting green mobility solutions.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: “Against the backdrop of the extremely challenging market environment, I am pleased with the increase in revenue and earnings in the first half of 2022. With our new strategic alignment, we want to grow profitably in the long term and, above all, expand our contract portfolio again. To achieve this, we will offer additional products and services on the one hand and expand our business model on the other. With 'FAST LANE 27', we have laid the foundation to take advantage of growth opportunities and to become the leading cross-brand provider of comprehensive mobility solutions in Europe in the long term.“

Business performance
The Allane Mobility Group's business performance in the first half of the year continued to be impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and new car supply constraints resulting from the semiconductor shortage.

The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field decreased by 3.5 per cent to 35,300 contracts (31 December 2021: 36,500 contracts) in the period from the end of December 2021 to the end of June 2022, while in the Fleet Leasing business field it decreased by 1.7 per cent to 32,700 contracts (31 December 2021: 33,300 contracts). In the Fleet Management business unit, the contract portfolio fell to 51,000 contracts, representing a decline of 13.5 per cent compared to the previous year (31 December 2021: 59,000). Overall, the Group’s contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) amounted to 119,000 contracts as of 30 June 2022, down 7.6 per cent compared to the previous year’s figure (31 December 2021: 128,800 contracts).

In the first half of 2022, consolidated revenue increased by 1.1 per cent to EUR 371.2 million (H1 2021: EUR 367.3 million) compared to the same period of the previous year. This development is mainly due to an increase in sales revenue as a result of continued high demand for used cars. Consolidated operating revenue, which does not include revenue from vehicle sales, fell by 0.4 per cent to EUR 193.3 million (H1 2021: EUR 194.2 million). The decline resulted in particular from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as the supply bottlenecks for new cars and the associated contract declines. Sales revenue from the sale of lease returns and the marketing of customer vehicles from Fleet Management increased by 2.8 per cent to EUR 177.9 million (H1 2021: EUR 173.1 million). The main reason for this was the further increase in unit prices as a result of the continuing high demand for used cars.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell by 3.0 per cent to EUR 92.9 million in the first half of 2022 (H1 2021: EUR 95.7 million). In contrast, earnings before taxes (EBT) increased significantly by 161.9 per cent to EUR 6.9 million (H1 2021: EUR 2.6 million). The operating return on revenue (EBT/consolidated operating revenue) therefore also improved substantially to 3.6 per cent (H1 2021: 1.4 per cent). The increase in EBT in the first half of the year is due in particular to lower depreciation on lease assets and an improvement in the financial result.

Outlook
The Allane Mobility Group confirms the forecast adjusted on 28 July 2022. According to this, the Company expects a Group contract portfolio in a range of 110,000 to 130,000 contracts (2021: 128,800 contracts) and a consolidated operating revenue of between EUR 350 million and EUR 400 million (2021: EUR 386.0 million) for the current 2022 financial year. For EBT, the Company expects a higher single-digit million euro amount (2021: EUR 6.1 million).

Reasons for this forecast are, in addition to the weaker than initially expected operating business development in the current financial year, the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the supply restrictions for new cars due to the semiconductor shortage and the potential impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on the automotive market. The Allane Mobility Group expects the market and business environment for new contracts and usage-based revenues to continue to be negatively impacted by the aforementioned factors.

The full half-year financial report as at 30 June 2022 is available for download on the Allane Mobility Group Investor Relations website.

sixt-neuwagen.de expands service offering to include used vehicles purchase

Pullach, 25 July 2022 – The Allane Mobility Group (formerly Sixt Leasing), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, is now offering the trade-in of used vehicles via Sixt Neuwagen. Interested parties can either sell their old vehicle to Sixt Neuwagen or trade it in when ordering a new vehicle. The transaction is carried out via autohaus24, with the purchase price being determined within a maximum of 48 hours*.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "Everyone can benefit from our offer to purchase used vehicles. The process is simple, so that our customers can quickly receive the purchase price for their old vehicle or optionally trade it in for a new vehicle. At the same time, we are expanding the used car fleet of autohaus24 and can also offer our customers a more comprehensive range in this respect. "

Purchase price determination in a few steps
The price determination for the purchase of the used vehicle is simply designed and takes place in four steps:

  1. Request by mail
  2. Filling out the used car purchase form
  3. Sending documents (copies of vehicle registration and title) and pictures of the vehicle to [email protected]
  4. Feedback from autohaus24

After a successful enquiry by the customer, autohaus24 calculates the possible purchase price.

Further information on the trade-in of Sixt Neuwagen and autohaus24 is available here.

*The price determined within this period is only valid if all damages have been truthfully reported by the customer. If further damage or a higher damage value is determined during the vehicle appraisal carried out by autohaus24, the purchase price can subsequently be reduced. The purchase price finally determined by autohaus24 is valid for a period of four weeks and subject to reservation.

sixt-neuwagen.de guarantees GHG bonus for electric cars of at least 365 euros for 2022


DGAP-Media / 06.07.2022 / 11:32

sixt-neuwagen.de guarantees GHG bonus for electric cars of at least 365 euros for 2022
 

Pullach, 06 July 2022 – The Allane Mobility Group (formerly Sixt Leasing), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, now enables all owners of electric cars to apply for the greenhouse gas reduction bonus (GHG bonus; German: “THG-Prämie”) via the sixt-neuwagen.de platform. In this way, both customers and non-customers can have the GHG quota certified and sold for their vehicle. For the year 2022, Sixt Neuwagen guarantees a minimum bonus of 365 euros per certificate. This amount includes an exclusive additional bonus of 15 euros, which Sixt Neuwagen pays out to all new applicants. All owners of a purely battery-powered electric vehicle are eligible to receive the GHG bonus. Thus, the quota can be applied for already purchased, financed and leased electric vehicles. The certification and sale of the GHG quota is implemented by Sixt Neuwagen in cooperation with the company "Elektrovorteil".

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "The GHG bonus is an effective tool to promote electromobility and save CO2 emissions. We want to contribute to this and are offering the application process as well as an additional incentive bonus of 15 euros. In this way, not only the environment benefits from the bonus – the owners of e-vehicles also have an advantage from it."

Four steps to the application

The bonus application process on sixt-neuwagen.de is simple and consists of four steps:

  1. Selection between private and commercial customer
  2. Entering the first and last name, the E-mail address and a password
  3. Upload the registration certificate part 1
  4. Entering the account details for the payment of the GHG bonus

Mode of operation of the GHG quota
The GHG quota is a grant from the Federal Environment Agency for CO2 emissions saved. The aim of the quota is to promote the switch to climate-friendly drive systems. Savings can be quantified by means of the GHG quota calculation and certified by the Federal Environment Agency (German: “Umweltbundesamt”). The resulting certificates are then sold to mineral oil companies and other companies subject to quotas, which are legally obliged to save greenhouse gases and reduce their CO2 emissions.

More information on the GHG bonus and the application process is available here.

Allane Mobility Group presents new growth strategy 'FAST LANE 27' at the Annual General Meeting

PRESS RELEASE

Allane Mobility Group presents new growth strategy "FAST LANE 27" at the Annual General Meeting

  • Expansion of the product range: e.g. Car-as-a-Service, Used Car Leasing and Corporate Mobility
  • Expansion of the business model by two pillars: Captive Leasing and On-Site-Retail
  • Growth through innovation, cooperation and internationalization
  • Increasing the share of alternative drive systems in the fleet
  • Annual General Meeting 2022 adopts all agenda items

Pullach, 01 July 2022 – The Allane Mobility Group (formerly Sixt Leasing), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, presented its new strategy "FAST LANE 27" at this year’s Annual General Meeting. The overriding goal of the new strategic direction is to meet changing customer needs and return to profitable growth. The AGM approved all items on the agenda with a large majority.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "With 'FAST LANE 27' we want to generate additional added value for our customers, partners, employees, and investors and take advantage of further growth opportunities. Therefore, we have put together a comprehensive package of measures that includes new offers and services as well as the expansion of our business model. With this, we are convinced that we are laying the foundation for sustainable growth.”

Back on the fast track with "FAST LANE 27”
The new strategic direction of the Allane Mobility Group lays the foundation for becoming the leading mulit-brand provider of comprehensive mobility solutions in Europe in the long term. The focus of "FAST LANE 27" is on the strategic realignment of the business model. Among other things, the established three business pillars with Captive Leasing and On-Site Retail are to be expanded by a fourth and a fifth pillar. Captive Leasing is currently in the pilot phase. At its core is a leasing portal developed by Allane Mobility Group that allows manufacturers to market their vehicles to customers through their own dealer network. Since the third quarter of 2021, Allane Mobility Group has been testing the portal with Hyundai and Kia, which will also open up new expansion opportunities in foreign markets such as the Netherlands, Spain or Italy in the medium term. In the longer term, the company does not rule out further cooperations with other manufacturers. For On-Site Retail (autohaus24), the fifth business pillar, the Allane Mobility Group plans to further develop what is currently the largest independent used car dealer in Germany into a comprehensive mobility hub for car-related products and services. In addition to buying a car, customers will also be able to have used cars reconditioned, trade in vehicles or take out suitable insurance policies.

In addition, the Allane Mobility Group intends to further expand its offering in the existing business areas of Online Retail, Fleet Leasing and Fleet Management by taking into account trends such as car-as-a-service, used car leasing, electric mobility and modular services in the area of corporate mobility. At the same time, innovation and cooperations are also to be given greater focus.

Another important component of "FAST LANE 27" is the goal of becoming more sustainable, with Allane Mobility Group further increasing the share of alternative drive systems in its fleet and promoting green mobility solutions.

Resolutions of the 2022 Annual General Meeting
The shareholders approved all items on the agenda of this year's Annual General Meeting of Allane SE – including the changes to the Supervisory Board. Mr Norbert van den Eijnden was elected as a member of the Supervisory Board for the remainder of the current term of office of the Supervisory Board. As Ms Hyunjoo Kim and Mr Chi Whan Yoon had both resigned from their positions as previous members of the Supervisory Board with effect from the end of 31 May 2022, supplementary elections were held at this year's Annual General Meeting for two additional seats on the Supervisory Board. The shareholders of Allane SE elected Mr Su Ho Kim and Mr Hyung Seok Lee as additional members to the Supervisory Board of the company.

All information on the Annual General Meeting 2022 and the corresponding voting results are available on the Allane Mobility Group Website.

Allane Mobility Group: Revenue and earnings growth in Q1 2022

Allane Mobility Group: Revenue and earnings growth in Q1 2022

Allane Mobility Group: Revenue and earnings growth in Q1 2022

  • Stable Group contract portfolio
  • Consolidated revenue increased by 1.7%
  • Earnings before taxes (EBT) rose significantly to EUR 4.4 million
  • Forecast for the 2022 financial year confirmed

Pullach, 11 May 2022 – Allane Mobility Group (former Sixt Leasing), a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has recorded a slight increase in consolidated revenue and a significant increase in earnings before taxes (EBT) in the first quarter of 2022. Overall, the company developed in line with expectations.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: “I am happy to report growth in both revenue and earnings for the first quarter of 2022. We have developed fully in line with our plans. In order to take advantage of future growth opportunities, we are pushing forward the digitization of our business and developing new products and services for our customers, which we intend to launch over the course of the year.”

Business development

Business development in the first three months of 2022 continued to be affected in particular by the COVID-19 pandemic and the supply restrictions for new cars due to the semiconductor shortage. The Group’s contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) was nearly stable with 128,610 contracts as of 31 March 2021 (31 December 2021: 128,800 contracts).

In the first quarter of 2022, consolidated revenue increased slightly by 1.7 per cent compared to the same period in the previous year to EUR 189.8 million. This is mainly due to the increase in sales revenue. Operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 1.9 per cent to EUR 95.8 million. Sales revenue from the sale of leasing returns and marketing of customer vehicles in Fleet Management increased by 5.6 per cent to EUR 94.0 million. This development is mainly caused by a further increase in the unit price of vehicles sold due to the continued high demand for used cars.

In the first three months of 2022, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased slightly by 0.7 per cent to EUR 47.6 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Earnings before taxes (EBT) saw a significant increase of 350.8 per cent to EUR 4.4 million. This is in line with expectations due to the very strong sales result of lease returns as a consequence of further increasing sales prices. The operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) therefore also improved substantially to 4.6 per cent (Q1 2021: 1.0 per cent).

Outlook

Allane Mobility Group confirms the outlook published on 29 April 2022. Accordingly, the Managing Board expects to have a Group contract portfolio in a range of 130,000 to 150,000 contracts (2021: 128,845 contracts) and a consolidated operating revenue of between EUR 350 million and EUR 400 million (2021: EUR 386.0 million) in the current 2022 financial year. For EBT, the company expects a higher single-digit million euro amount (2021: EUR 6.1 million).

The reasons for this forecast are, in addition to the operating business development in the current financial year so far, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the supply restrictions for new cars due to the semiconductor shortage and the potential impact of the war in Ukraine on the automotive market. The Allane Mobility Group expects the market and business environment for new contracts and usage-based revenues to continue to be negatively impacted by the aforementioned factors. However, the company expects a recovery in business development of new contracts and usage-based revenues in the second half of the year due to a normalization of the COVID-19 pandemic, although the delay in new cars supply and the impact of the war in Ukraine on the European economies still remains.

With regard to EBT, the remarketing business is not expected to match the results achieved in the previous months during the remainder of the year. In addition, the consolidated net result in the 2022 financial year will continue to be burdened by transaction-related costs in connection with the acquisition of the company by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE).

Allane Mobility Group: autohaus24 is among the best used car dealers in Germany

Allane Mobility Group: autohaus24 is among the best used car dealers in Germany

Pullach, 3 May 2022 - Allane Mobility Group (former Sixt Leasing), 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 one of the six best used car dealers in Germany with its subsidiary autohaus24 GmbH and its Munich-Eching location according to this year's Used Car Awards. The prize was awarded by the trade journal "Gebrauchtwagen Praxis" together with Autoboerse.de, Dekra and Real Garant in Würzburg. From a large number of applicants, car dealers were awarded that best convinced the jury in terms of creative sales ideas, clear processes, excellent service and convincing concepts for marketing and presentation in the used car trade.

Werner König, Managing Director of autohaus24 GmbH: "We are delighted that our location in Munich-Eching is one of the best businesses at this year's Used Car Awards. We owe this success in part to our efficient processes, which are designed to create the best possible customer experience."

Efficient process handling at autohaus24

At its location in Munich-Eching, autohaus24 offers an average of around 300 used cars of various brands and price categories. The majority of these are returns from Sixt Leasing, a brand of the Allane Mobility Group. In addition to the location in Munich-Eching, autohaus24 has two further dispositions in Frankfurt-Egelsbach and Berlin-Ludwigsfelde.

At all three locations, the company sells Sixt Leasing returns and Sixt new cars. The processes at autohaus24 are highly standardised and automated - from acceptance to arranging the test drive. For example, all returns are distributed from Munich-Eching to the various locations. These processes enable the sales staff at autohaus24 GmbH to concentrate fully on selling the used cars. In addition to sales at its three German locations, the company also sells its vehicles via the autohaus24.de website, where it is also possible to configure a new car.

Allane Mobility Group publishes Annual Report 2021

Allane Mobility Group publishes Annual Report 2021
29.04.2022 / 08:01

Allane Mobility Group publishes Annual Report 2021

  • Group contract portfolio and consolidated revenue almost stable compared to previous year's figures
  • Business development in line with adjusted expectations
  • Announcement of the new corporate strategy 'FAST LANE 27' as a basis for future growth
  • Outlook 2022: Increase in contract portfolio expected

Pullach, 29 April 2022 - Allane Mobility Group (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 published its Annual Report 2021. Accordingly, the business development in 2021 is in line with the adjusted expectations. The business performance was particularly affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall economic situation. Within the scope of the annual report, the Managing board of Allane Mobility Group also releases its forecast for the current 2022 financial year. In addition, the company announces the publication of its new strategy programme 'FAST LANE 27' for the second quarter of 2022.

Business development
In the Online Retail business field, the contract portfolio decreased by 5.4 per cent to 36,500 contracts in the period from end of December 2020 to end of December 2021, while in the Fleet Leasing business field, it fell by 11.9 per cent to 33,300 contracts. The decline in both these business fields resulted particularly from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Fleet Management business field, by contrast, the contract portfolio rose by 10.3 per cent to 59,000 contracts, thus reaching a new all-time high. The main reason for this was the acquisition of new customers and the expansion of existing customer relationships. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) was slightly below the previous year's figure (129,900 contracts) at 128,800 contracts.

Consolidated revenue fell by 1.0 per cent in the 2021 financial year and thus slightly to EUR 740.4 million. Consolidated operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 8.8 per cent to EUR 386.0 million. This is mainly due to the significantly reduced vehicle utilisation as a result of COVID-19-related contact restrictions and the associated decline in utilisation-related revenues as well as the declining contract portfolio. In contrast, sales revenues for lease returns and marketed customer vehicles in Fleet Management rose by 9.2 percent to EUR 354.4 million, in particular due to the high demand for used cars.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 13.0 percent to EUR 184.0 million (2020: EUR 211.4 million) in the reporting year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) fell by 32.7 per cent to EUR 6.1 million (2020: EUR 9.1 million).

Dividend proposal
For the 2021 financial year, the Managing Board of Allane SE is considering to propose a dividend of EUR 0.06 per share to the Annual General Meeting on 29 June 2022. This dividend proposal takes into account the uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine and would result in a payout ratio of just over 21% of the consolidated net income for the 2021 financial year. The proposal for the appropriation of profits is subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board and will be published with the agenda for the 2022 Annual General Meeting. The previously communicated target range of 30 to 60% remains unchanged regardless of the payout ratio for the 2021 financial year.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we have maintained both contract portfolio and Group revenue at almost the same level as the previous year. In addition, we have taken a big step forward in terms of the digitalisation of our business model. In order to take advantage of future growth opportunities and meet changing customer needs, we want to develop strategically. Therefore, in the second quarter of 2022, we will start the implementation of our new strategy programme 'FAST LANE 27', which is designed to get us back on the fast track."

New strategy 'FAST LANE 27'
To generate even more added value for customers, partners, employees and shareholders in the future, Allane Mobility Group has developed a new strategy programme called 'FAST LANE 27'. The programme comprises a comprehensive package of measures to be implemented by 2027. 'FAST LANE 27' is aimed, among other things, at expanding the business model in a targeted manner, launching a larger number of offers on the market, driving forward the internationalisation of Allane Mobility Group and strengthening the aspect of sustainability by offering environmentally friendly mobility solutions, as well as further increasing the share of alternative drive systems in the fleet.

Outlook
According to its forecast published in the 2021 Annual Report, Allane Mobility Group expects to have a Group contract portfolio in a range of 130,000 to 150,000 contracts (2021: 128,845 contracts) and a consolidated operating revenue of between EUR 350 million and EUR 400 million (2021: EUR 382.6 million) in the current 2022 financial year. For EBT, the company expects a higher single-digit million euro amount (2021: EUR 6.1 million).

The reasons for this cautious forecast are, in addition to the operating business development in the current financial year so far, the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the supply restrictions for new cars due to the semiconductor shortage and the potential impact of the war in Ukraine on the automotive market. The Allane Mobility Group expects the market and business environment for new contracts and usage-based revenues to continue to be negatively impacted by the aforementioned factors. However, the company expects a recovery after summer, although the impact of the war in Ukraine on the European economies remains uncertain.

With regard to EBT for the first quarter of 2022, Allane Mobility Group expects the figure to be higher than the corresponding figure for the previous year (Q1 2021: EUR 1.0 million) due to the strong vehicle remarketing business. However, the Managing Board does not expect the remarketing business to match the results achieved in the previous months during the remainder of the year.

In addition, the consolidated net result in the 2022 financial year will continue to be burdened by transaction-related costs in connection with the acquisition of the company by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE).

The full outlook for the 2022 financial year is included in the Allane Mobility Group Annual Report 2021. The report is available on the company's website.

Allane Mobility Group: Stable contract and revenue development in 2021

Allane Mobility Group: Stable contract and revenue development in 2021

  • Group contract portfolio and consolidated revenue almost at previous year's level
  • Business development in line with adjusted expectations
  • Successful further digitalisation of the business model and renaming

Pullach, 23 March 2022 - Allane Mobility Group (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 adjusted expectations in the 2021 financial year. The business performance was particularly affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall economic situation. According to preliminary calculations, the Group contract portfolio and the consolidated revenue almost reached the previous year's level.

Successful further digitalisation and renaming
In the 2021 financial year, the Allane Mobility Group achieved several milestones in the digitalisation of its business model. This included, in particular, the introduction of a digital ordering process on sixt-neuwagen.de, the launch of the "FleetIntelligence" analysis tool for fleet managers and the digitalisation of the logistics processes at the used car locations in Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich. In addition, the change of name from Sixt Leasing SE to Allane SE was completed on 5 August 2021.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "The Corona pandemic has again slowed down our business development in 2021. Nevertheless, we have managed to keep the contract portfolio and revenue almost stable and made great leaps forward in the digitalisation of our business model. With our innovative strength, we are laying the foundation to return to the growth path."

Business development
In the Online Retail business field, the contract portfolio decreased by 5.4 per cent to 36,600 contracts in the period from the end of December 2020 to the end of December 2021. In the Fleet Leasing business field, the contract portfolio decreased by 11.9 per cent to 33,300 contracts. The decline in both business fields was mainly due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Fleet Management business unit, on the other hand, the contract portfolio increased by 10.3 per cent to 59,000 contracts and thus reached a new all-time high. The main reason for this was the acquisition of new customers and the expansion of existing customer relationships. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) was slightly below the previous year's figure at 128,800 contracts (129,900 contracts).

Consolidated revenue fell slightly by 0.8 per cent to EUR 741.8 million according to preliminary calculations. Consolidated operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 8.5 per cent to EUR 387.4 million. This is mainly due to the significantly reduced vehicle utilisation as a result of the COVID-19-related contact restrictions and the associated decline in utilisation-related revenues as well as a declining contract portfolio. On the other hand, sales revenues for lease returns and marketed customer vehicles in Fleet Management increased by 9.2 per cent to EUR 354.4 million. This development is mainly due to the high demand for used cars.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 13.0 per cent to EUR 184.0 million. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) fell by 32.7 per cent to EUR 6.1 million. As a result, the operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) was 1.6 per cent (2020: 2.2 per cent).

Allane Mobility Group will announce the final and audited figures for the 2021 financial year and an outlook for the financial year 2022 with the publication of its Annual Report 2021 on 29 April 2022.

Allane Mobility Group: Cooperation with AUTO1.com to market more than 10,000 vehicles per year

  • Allane Mobility Group increases reach by cooperating with Europe's largest platform for used cars, thereby achieving top prices
  • AUTO1.com integrates Allane Mobility Group inventory via automated auction format in real-time
  • Registered partner dealers benefit from an additional offer of more than 10,000 high-quality used cars on AUTO1.com

Pullach, 22 February 2022 - 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, is cooperating with AUTO1.com with immediate effect, thus offering more than 10,000 high-quality lease returns and fleet vehicles per year on Europe's largest trading platform for used cars. In a separate, automated real-time auction - the "Catalogue Auction" - the vehicle inventory of the B2B platform is available online to registered partner dealers. By partnering with AUTO1.com, Allane Mobility Group expands its remarketing network to include more than 60,000 active buyers in 30 markets across Europe and achieves top prices for its used cars.

"The technical connection of the systems has worked without any problems and the first runs have delivered very satisfactory results," says Andreas Birgmann, Director Remarketing at Allane SE. "With its focus on the digital business model for the commercial vehicle trade, AUTO1.com is an ideal partner for us to efficiently market our lease returns and fleet vehicles. The innovative spirit that emanates from both sides is an excellent prerequisite for joint business success."

The "Catalogue Auction" takes place weekly and includes 250 to 300 high-quality leasing and fleet vehicles of various brands and models. During the so-called "Catalogue Phase", buyers can examine the vehicles for seven days, put them on their own watch list, and place bids directly. Weekly, every Thursday at 11 a.m., the "Turbo Phase" begins. The vehicles are presented one after the other for a short time. At this moment, buyers have the last chance to place their final highest bid for the highly demanded vehicles and win the auction. After the auction, buyers benefit from the extensive logistics coverage provided by the Europe-wide AUTO1 logistics network with 300 partners. For example, each vehicle can be delivered to the buyer within Germany at a fixed price of EUR 159 (net) within a few days.

"Through our very active buyer network in Europe, our new partner Allane Mobility Group benefits from dynamic bidding behaviour, and as a result, best prices. Car dealers, on the other hand, are always searching for high-quality vehicles that they can buy at fair market prices and sell profitably, especially these days due to the shortage of cars," says Denis Belan, Director of Remarketing Germany at AUTO1.com.

"We are excited to have found another great partner for remarketing and are sure to be able to generate significant value for both parties," says Werner König, Managing Director Remarketing at Allane SE.

"Our registered partners don't switch between different platforms anymore. They can rely on a diverse inventory and our leading associated services from AUTO1.com. With the new partnership, our buyers now have four buying options at their disposal. The Catalogue Auction, the 24-hour Auction, the Customer Auction, and the Instant Purchase option," says Robert Lasek, Managing Director Germany at AUTO1.com.

The Catalogue Auction is now initially available to all registered partner dealers in Germany. It will then also be available in over 30 markets across Europe. Interested parties can register at www.AUTO1.com and will then receive access to the Catalogue Auction.

Allane Mobility Group receives record funding to market hydrogen car Hyundai NEXO
 

- Allane Mobility Group receives up to EUR 11.4 million from the German government to promote sustainable mobility

- Marketing of up to 800 new Hyundai NEXO with environmentally friendly hydrogen drive to leasing customers as part of a cooperation with Hyundai

- Favourable leasing rate thanks to subsidy of EUR 14,299 per vehicle - offer valid only while stocks last
 

Pullach, 25 January 2022 - 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, receives a record sum of up to EUR 11.4 million to promote sustainable mobility. The funds come from the National Innovation Programme Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP) of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV). It is the highest funding amount ever awarded by the BMDV within the framework of the NIP to a single project related to market activation for fuel cell passenger cars. The NIP is coordinated by the National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NOW GmbH) and implemented by the Project Management Organisation Jülich (PtJ).

The Allane Mobility Group is using the subsidies to market up to 800 models of the Hyundai NEXO hydrogen car to leasing customers at particularly attractive conditions as part of a sales cooperation with Hyundai. Thanks to a subsidy of EUR 14,299 per new vehicle, the Hyundai NEXO is available from a monthly leasing rate of around EUR 719 plus VAT*. The vehicles are fully equipped and available at short notice with the popular Prime package. The colour, term and mileage are configurable. Delivery time is around three to four weeks. The Hyundai NEXO can be requested via the dealer network of Hyundai Motor Deutschland GmbH or the website https://www.hyundai.de/gewerbekunden/aktionen-und-angebote/. Advice and sales are provided exclusively and directly via the dealer network. Allane SE acts as lessor. The offer is only valid while stocks last.

Donglim Shin, CEO of Allane SE: "We are pleased that the Federal Government is supporting our sustainable mobility ambitions with such a large sum. This makes us proud and is at the same time proof of the confidence in our capabilities as a provider of comprehensive mobility solutions. Together with Hyundai and the German Hyundai dealer network, we want to contribute to establishing alternative drive technologies and making individual mobility significantly more environmentally friendly."

Kurt-Christoph von Knobelsdorff, Managing Director of the National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NOW GmbH): "Several paths lead to climate neutrality in the transport sector. When a company like the Allane Mobility Group markets up to 800 units of the Hyundai NEXO, this sends a strong signal to the market and shows that the fuel cell has prospects in mobility, also in passenger cars."

The Hyundai NEXO

Enormous range, futuristic design, modern technical equipment: the Hyundai NEXO is the temporary culmination of Hyundai's 20 years of hydrogen pioneering work: the perfect zero-emission drive for every day - but anything but everyday!

The Hyundai NEXO can be refuelled in just five minutes** and has a range of up to 756 km***. It also features advanced multimedia connectivity and Smart Sense safety systems.

Sustainable mobility at the Allane Mobility Group
As a provider of mobility solutions, the Allane Mobility Group is aware of its responsibility for climate protection and has set itself the goal of continuously reducing the average CO2 emissions of its customer fleet. This is achieved, for example, through the constant addition of vehicles with new drive technologies to the fleet as well as promotional offers for private customers. Thanks to its expertise in the selection and use of hybrid and electric vehicles, the Allane Mobility Group is able to provide competent advice to interested customers and optimise company fleets with regard to sustainability aspects.

National Innovation Programme Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP)

The NIP is implemented by NOW GmbH in association with the Project Management Organisation Jülich (PtJ) as an interdepartmental programme of the Federal Government under the leadership of the BMDV together with industry and science. The objectives of the NIP are research and development as well as market preparation of hydrogen and fuel cell technology in the transport sector.

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

DGAP-News: Allane SE / Key word(s): 9 Month figures/Quarter Results
17.11.2021 / 08:04

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

DGAP-News: Allane SE / Key word(s): Half Year Results/Interim Report
25.08.2021 / 08:01
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

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'

DGAP-News: Allane SE / Key word(s): Miscellaneous
05.08.2021 / 17:33
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

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'

DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Product Launch
14.07.2021 / 10:30

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'

DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): AGM/EGM
29.06.2021 / 14:39

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."

All the information about the 2021 Annual General Meeting and the voting results are available on the website http://ir.sixt-leasing.com/agm.

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

DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Product Launch

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.

  • Further successful digitalisation of the business model
  • Outlook 2021: Slight increase in Group contract portfolio, consolidated operating revenue in the range of previous year's figure and EBT in a higher single-digit million euro amount to be expected

Pullach, 19 May 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, has developed in line with expectations in the first quarter of 2021. Business development continued to be affected in particular by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group contract portfolio decreased slightly in the period from the end of December 2020 to the end of March 2021. Consolidated operating revenue showed a significant year-on-year decline. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were very sharply below the prior-year level. The forecast issued in March continues to apply for the 2021 financial year.

Business development
In the first quarter of 2021, Sixt Leasing achieved several milestones in the digitalisation of its business model. Firstly, a new smartphone app for fleet customers was launched, which makes it easier for company car drivers to manage their leasing contract and thus increases efficiency in fleets. 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. Moreover, a completely digital ordering process was introduced on sixt-neuwagen.de, enabling private customers to conclude contracts conveniently and securely from home or on the road. Via sixt-neuwagen.de, Sixt Leasing also launched an initial campaign as the starting point for a longer-term cooperation with Vehiculum to market attractive new cars on the Internet.

The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field decreased by 2.3 per cent to 37,800 contracts in the period from the end of December 2020 to the end of March 2021, mainly due to a continued weak new business volume. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field fell by 3.5 per cent to 36,500 contracts. In the Fleet Management business unit, the contract portfolio increased by 0.7 per cent to 53,900 contracts. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) fell slightly by 1.4 per cent to 128,100 contracts.

Consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2021 decreased by 6.3 per cent to EUR 186.7 million compared to the same period in the previous year. This is mainly due to the decline in operating revenue. Operating revenue, which does not include proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 14.5 per cent to EUR 97.7 million. A major impact on the decline in operating revenue was attributable to the third "lockdown" due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which lasted throughout the full first quarter of 2021, in contrast to the prior-year quarter, which was not burdened to the same extent by the COVID-19 pandemic. This third "lockdown" resulted, among other things, in a 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 quarter of 2020 due to the decline in the contract portfolio of the Leasing business unit. Sales revenue from the sale of leasing returns and marketing of customer vehicles in Fleet Management increased by 4.7 per cent to EUR 89.0 million. Among other things, this increase was due to the fact that fewer vehicles were sold in the prior-year quarter 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) decreased in the first three months of 2021 by 16.1 per cent to EUR 47.2 million compared to the same period in the previous year. As expected, earnings before taxes (EBT) saw a decline of 82.5 per cent to EUR 1.0 million. The operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) consequently amounted to 1.0 per cent (Q1 2020: 4.9 per cent). Consolidated profit decreased by 84.0 per cent to EUR 0.6 million. The lower EBT is in line with expectations and is mainly due to the market and business environment, which was strongly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as it was still burdened by transaction-related costs incurred in connection with the company being taken over by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE).

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The economic environment remains challenging due to the Corona pandemic. Nevertheless, we successfully advanced the digitalisation of our business model in the first quarter. We will continue to consistently implement our strategy and are thus well positioned to meet the continuing high demand for mobility - especially after the lifting of contact restrictions."

Besides the further digitalisation of products, services, and internal processes, Sixt Leasing 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.

Outlook
The Managing Board confirms the outlook published on 24 March 2021. Accordingly, it 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 and expects a recovery in business development in the second half of 2021 at the earliest. 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 publishes Annual Report 2020

  • Business development 2020 in line with expectations
  • Forecast for the 2021 financial year confirmed - focus on digitalisation

Pullach, 28 April 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, has published its Annual Report 2020. Accordingly, there were no deviations from the preliminary annual figures which had already been published in March 2021. The business development in 2020 is in line with the expectations adjusted in July and October 2020. The forecast issued in March continues to apply for the 2021 financial year.

Business development
In 2020, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 4.6 per cent to 129,900 contracts compared to the previous year. Consolidated revenue fell by 9.3 per cent to EUR 747.7 million. Consolidated operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 9.6 per cent to EUR 423.3 million. Sales revenues for lease returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management decreased by 8.9 per cent to EUR 324.4 million.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 9.1 per cent to EUR 211.4 million. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) fell by 68.9 per cent to EUR 9.1 million due to various special effects. As a result, the operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) was 2.2 per cent (2019: 6.3 per cent). Consolidated profit decreased by 89.9 per cent to EUR 2.2 million. Adjusted for one-off and extraordinary effects from the takeover of the company by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH as well as the increased risk provisioning in connection with vehicle residual values, EBT ("adjusted EBT") amounted to EUR 20.8 million.

Dividend proposal
The Managing Board of Sixt Leasing SE is considering proposing a dividend of EUR 0.02 per share for the 2020 financial year to the Annual General Meeting on June 29, 2021, taking into account the restrictions and challenges of the ongoing COVID-19 situation. The exact dividend proposal is subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board and will be published with the agenda for the 2021 Annual General Meeting, taking into account any expectations of the supervisory authorities in this respect. The dividend proposal of the Managing Board corresponds to a pay-out ratio of just under 20 per cent of consolidated net profit in the 2020 financial year. The previously communicated target range of 30 to 60 per cent remains unchanged regardless of the pay-out ratio for the last financial year.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In 2021, we want to continue to successfully drive forward the digitalisation of our products, services and internal processes. In addition, we plan to introduce a mobility budget for fleet customers and expand our business model to include used car leasing. Another focus will be on the acquisition of smaller fleet customers and especially on service quality."

In the first quarter of 2021, Sixt Leasing achieved three further milestones in the implementation of its strategy with the launch of a new fleet customer app, the rebranding and reorientation of its autohaus24 subsidiary and the introduction of a completely digital ordering process for private customers on sixt-neuwagen.de. In addition, Sixt Leasing has launched a long-term cooperation with Vehiculum via sixt-neuwagen.de to market attractive new cars on the Internet.

Outlook
The Managing Board confirms the forecast published on March 24, 2021. Accordingly, it expects a slight increase in the Group contract portfolio for the current 2021 financial year 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 and expects a recovery in business development in the second half of 2021 at the earliest.

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 Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH.

In this context, EBT for the first quarter of 2021 is expected to decline very sharply compared to the corresponding period of the previous year (Q1 2020: EUR 5.6 million) according to the Managing Board's estimates.

The complete forecast for the 2021 financial year is included in the Annual Report 2020 of Sixt Leasing SE. This can be accessed at http://ir.sixt-leasing.com/annual-reports.

Sixt Leasing introduces digital ordering process on sixt-neuwagen.de

Pullach, 19 April 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, has launched a completely digital ordering process on sixt-neuwagen.de. This allows private customers to order their dream car easily and conveniently online and from home. Further information on the ordering process is available at https://www.sixt-neuwagen.de/fragen-antworten/bestellprozess.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: 'Our digital ordering process on sixt-neuwagen.de is fast, convenient and secure. Identification is done with the help of our partner IDnow. This means that our customers no longer have to go to the nearest post office to do this. And our online procedure also eliminates the need to print out application documents. Thereby, we are taking the customer experience to the next level and reaching another milestone in the digitalisation of the business model.'

The digital ordering process has already proven itself in a similar form as part of last year's special promotion with PAYBACK, in which the Kia Stonic 'VISION' was marketed. Now private customers can use the process on sixt-neuwagen.de on a permanent basis.

On sixt-neuwagen.de, customers have the option of configuring their new car individually or ordering an already available stock car. They can choose vehicles from around 35 brands and benefit from particularly favourable prices and optional service products.

Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in 2020 in line with expectations - Forecast for 2021 published

DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Preliminary Results/Forecast
24.03.2021 / 08:54

Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in 2020 in line with expectations - Forecast for 2021 published

  • Further milestones achieved in the digitalisation of products, services and internal processes
  • Group contract portfolio and consolidated operating revenue impacted in particular by COVID-19 pandemic
  • Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) burdened in particular by increased risk provisioning and transaction-related costs
  • Outlook: Slight increase in Group contract portfolio, consolidated operating revenue in the range of previous year's figure and EBT in a higher single-digit million euro amount to be expected in 2021

Pullach, 24 March 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, developed overall in line with expectations in the 2020 financial year. Business performance was particularly affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall economic situation. According to preliminary calculations, the Group's contract portfolio and consolidated operating revenue declined compared to the previous year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were very significantly below the previous year's level.

Business development
In the 2020 financial year, the expansion of the digital product and service portfolio in particular was further advanced. In the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing launched a sales cooperation with PAYBACK via its online platform sixt-neuwagen.de to market a Kia Stonic "VISION" to private customers. In addition, autohaus24.de was honored with the consumer award "Germany's Best Online Portals 2020" in the category "New Car Portals" from the news channel n-tv and the German Institute for Service Quality, and received the rating "High Recommendation" in the category "Car Leasing: Online Providers" in the FOCUS-MONEY study "Recommended by Customers".

In the Fleet Management business unit, the smartphone app "The Companion" for fleet customers was further developed and, among other things, upgraded with the digital payment function "Shell Payment@Pump". In the Fleet Leasing business field, Sixt Leasing digitised vehicle handover and return at its locations. In addition, the company was again voted best leasing provider by the readers of AUTO BILD after 2018 and received the "Company Car Award".

The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field fell by 12.8 per cent to 38,600 contracts in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of December 2020, particularly burdened by a reduced number of new orders due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as further vehicle returns from the 1&1 campaign conducted in the 2017 financial year. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field declined by 6.6 per cent to 37,800 contracts, which was also due in particular to the pandemic. In the Fleet Management business unit, the contract portfolio increased by 3.9 per cent to 53,500 contracts. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) thus decreased by 4.6 per cent to 129,900 contracts.

Consolidated revenue fell by 9.3 per cent year-on-year to EUR 747.7 million in the 2020 financial year. Consolidated operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 9.6 per cent to EUR 423.3 million. This is mainly due to the significantly reduced vehicle utilisation as a result of the COVID-19-related contact restrictions and the associated decline in utilisation-related revenues. Sales revenues for lease returns and marketed customer vehicles in Fleet Management decreased by 8.9 per cent to EUR 324.4 million. This decline resulted on the one hand from the very strong first quarter of the previous year with a very high number of lease returns sold in the Online Retail business field and on the other hand from the restrictions on stationary motor vehicle sales, particularly during the first half of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 9.1 per cent to EUR 211.4 million in 2020. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) fell by 68.9 per cent to EUR 9.1 million due to various special effects. As a result, the operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) was 2.2 per cent (2019: 6.3 per cent). Consolidated profit decreased by 89.9 per cent to EUR 2.2 million compared to the same period in the previous year.

The lower EBT is in line with the adjusted expectations of 20 July 2020 and is due, among other things, to the volume effect in the marketing area described above, temporary sales support measures as well as increased marketing expenses at the beginning of the year. Furthermore, EBT was burdened by transaction-related costs in connection with the takeover of Sixt Leasing SE by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) as well as additional risk provisioning requirements for residual values amounting to a mid single-digit million euro figure. EBT adjusted for one-off and extraordinary effects from the takeover as well as risk provisioning amounted to EUR 20.8 million in the 2020 financial year.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The digitalisation of our products, services and internal processes continues to progress. With the launch of our fleet customer app, the rebranding and realignment of our subsidiary autohaus24 and the introduction of a completely digital ordering process for private customers on sixt-neuwagen.de, we reached three further milestones in the implementation of our strategy in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, we have launched a long-term cooperation with Lidl and Vehiculum to market attractive new cars on the Internet."

Besides the further digitalisation of new car sales in the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing is also planning to introduce a mobility budget in the Fleet Management business unit in the 2021 financial year. 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. In addition, the business model is to be expanded to include used car leasing.

Outlook
For the current financial year 2021, 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 and expects a recovery in business development in the second half of 2021 at the earliest.

This assessment assumes that the current measures to combat the Corona pandemic will take effect in the further course of the year. These include in particular the vaccination campaign launched at the end of 2020, which of course depends significantly on the availability of suitable vaccines, and the increasing availability of rapid tests. In addition, the assessment assumes that the exit strategies from crisis mode currently being worked out by the governments at federal and state level will be successful and that the economy will pick up again from the second half of the year. Furthermore, the company assumes that the extensive financial support measures currently adopted or still to be adopted by the federal and state governments will cushion the economically negative effects on the national economies.

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.

In this context, EBT for the first quarter of 2021 is expected to decline very sharply compared to the corresponding period of the previous year (Q1 2020: EUR 5.6 million) according to the Managing Board's estimates. This assessment takes into account the internal accounting status including February 2021 and the expected development in the current March.

Sixt Leasing appoints Mr. Donglim Shin to succeed Michael Ruhl as CEO

Pullach, 22 March 2021 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has announced today that the current CEO Michael Ruhl will leave the company at his own request as of 30 June 2021. Effective 1 July 2021, Donglim Shin, current President and CEO of Hyundai Capital Canada, has been appointed as his successor. The appointment and the conclusion of the associated Managing Board employment contract are subject to the approval of the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). Donglim Shin will join the company already on 1 April 2021 in order to ensure a seamless transition period together with Michael Ruhl.

Jochen Klöpper, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE: "On behalf of the Supervisory Board, we thank Michael Ruhl for his services to the company and his significant contributions to the successful development of the past years. With the appointment of Donglim Shin, we have named a strong successor to the CEO position at an early time. Donglim Shin is an excellent choice as he has long-standing, international experience in the fields of automotive finance and leasing.

Sixt Leasing SE digitalises vehicle handover and return process

Sixt Leasing SE digitalises vehicle handover and return process

  • More efficiency and transparency
  • Recording and logging of all steps via smartphone app
  • Roll-out initially at the locations in Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich

Pullach, 23 February 2021 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, is optimizing vehicle handover and return at its locations in Frankfurt-Egelsbach, Berlin-Adlershof and Munich-Eching. From now on, all logistics processes will be recorded digitally in the already launched SML software solution (Service Module Logistics): from the delivery of the new leased vehicle by truck and the handover to the corporate or private customer to the return and collection by the freight forwarder.

In the future, on-site employees will use a new smartphone app for this purpose, which they can use to determine the passages of risk as well as the exact equipment and condition of the vehicle. In the process, they create standardized, comprehensive photo logs. Thus, any transport damage can be recorded as soon as the new vehicle is delivered. The handover or return protocol is also signed using the app: customers simply sign on the smartphone of the employee responsible and receive the signed document by e-mail just a few minutes later.

All recorded data is transmitted automatically and in real time from the app (front-end) to Sixt Leasing's back-end system - and therefore does not need to be entered manually. This saves employees and customers even more time.

Josef Finauer, Managing Director Maintenance & Damage of Sixt Leasing SE: "Thanks to the digital recording of logistics processes, vehicle handover and return at our locations in Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich is now even more efficient and transparent. This benefits not only us as lessor, but also our customers in particular. The photo logs created with the smartphone build additional trust."

The new app was developed for Android devices in cooperation with the Hüsges Group. It can be used flexibly and is suitable for vehicle handover and return at any location. Sixt Leasing's goal is to roll out the app at the more than 30 Sixt SE stations where Sixt Leasing customers can pick up or return vehicles.

Tobias Gawor, Director Logistics of Sixt Leasing SE: "The app-based vehicle handover is an important, further step in the consistent digitalisation and automation of our processes. In addition to the positive customer experience, I am particularly pleased for our employees at the stations that we can now provide them with an intuitive and very advanced tool. And our back office and logistics partners will also benefit from the faster and automated availability of all relevant information. As a result, we now no longer use paper at all in our standard processes. We will also be scaling up and expanding the use of the app for vehicle handovers at our dealerships and doorstep deliveries over the course of the year."

Peter Damme, Senior Manager Product Management of Sixt Leasing SE: "With the SML, we were able to build a cloud software platform with which we can quickly develop new logistics processes and have the option of digitally connecting our internal contract software as well as external service providers. We have already achieved this with great success in the deregistration process. The next feature is already in preparation and will follow shortly as an SML update. This will enable us to optimize further processes."

Sixt Leasing SE: Operating business development in the first nine months of 2020 in line with expectations

DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): 9 Month figures
11.11.2020 / 08:30

Sixt Leasing SE: Operating business development in the first nine months of 2020 in line with expectations

  • Further expansion of the digital product and service portfolio
  • Group contract portfolio with a slight decline in the first three quarters of 2020 - Increase of nearly four per cent compared to 30 September 2019
  • Consolidated operating revenue particularly impacted by COVID-19 pandemic
  • Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) mainly burdened by increased risk provisioning and transaction-related costs
  • Managing Board confirms reduced forecast for 2020

Pullach, 11 November 2020 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has overall developed in line with expectations in the first nine months of 2020 based on the earnings forecast published on 21 October 2020. With a slight decrease in the Group's contract portfolio in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of September 2020, consolidated operating revenue also declined year-on-year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were very significantly below the previous year's level. In the third quarter, the business development was particularly affected by the weaker-than-expected recovery of the overall economic situation. The Managing Board confirms the reduced forecast for 2020.

Business development in 9M 2020
In the first nine months of 2020, the expansion of the digital product and service portfolio in particular was further advanced. In the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing launched a sales cooperation with PAYBACK via its online platform sixt-neuwagen.de to market a Kia Stonic "VISION" to private customers. In addition, autohaus24.de was honored with the consumer award "Germany's Best Online Portals 2020" in the category "New Car Portals" from the news channel n-tv and the German Institute for Service Quality, and received the rating "High Recommendation" in the category "Car Leasing: Online Providers" in the FOCUS-MONEY study "Recommended by Customers".

In the Fleet Management business unit, the smartphone app "The Companion" for fleet customers was further developed and, among other things, upgraded with the digital payment function "Shell Payment@Pump". Furthermore, two proven industry experts, Mr. Christian Braumiller and Mr. Michael Poglitsch, were won as new Managing Directors of Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH. In the Fleet Leasing business field, Sixt Leasing expanded its cooperation with BSH Hausgeräte GmbH in the field of e-mobility.

The contract portfolio in Online Retail fell by 9.9 per cent to 40,000 contracts in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of September 2020, particularly burdened by a reduced number of new orders due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and further vehicle returns from the 1&1 campaign conducted in the 2017 financial year. The contract portfolio in Fleet Leasing declined by 3.7 per cent to 38,900 contracts. In both business fields, business performance during the third quarter did not improve as planned, which is due in particular to the weaker-than-expected recovery in the overall economic situation as well as the ongoing COVID-19 situation. In Fleet Management, the contract portfolio increased by 3.0 per cent to 53,000 contracts in the first nine months of 2020.

Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 3.2 per cent to 131,900 contracts in the period from the end of December to the end of September. Compared to 30 September 2019, the Group contract portfolio recorded an increase of 3.7 per cent.

Consolidated revenue in the first three quarters of 2020 decreased by 10.7 per cent to EUR 565.3 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 8.6 per cent to EUR 319.9 million. The "lockdown" in the second quarter of 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the decline in operating revenue, which led, among other things, to a significant reduction in vehicle usage and thus to a drop in usage-related revenue, such as income from fuel revenues. Furthermore in the third quarter of 2020, after the lockdown in the second quarter of 2020, the increase in vehicle usage in particluar did not occur as expected. Sales revenue from the sale of leasing returns and marketing of customer vehicles in Fleet Management declined in the first three quarters by 13.3 per cent to EUR 245.4 million. This decrease was due to a very strong first quarter of the previous year, with very high sales of leasing returns in the Online Retail business field, as well as restrictions on stationary car sales resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic during the first half of 2020.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased in first three quarters of 2020 by 7.6 per cent to EUR 158.6 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) saw a decline of 76.0 per cent to EUR 5.2 million due to various special effects. The operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) thus amounted to 1.6 per cent (9M 2019: 6.2 per cent). Consolidated profit decreased by 78.7 per cent to EUR 3.4 million compared to the same period in the previous year.

The lower EBT is in line with the adjusted expectations from 20 July 2020 and results, among others, from the general volume effect in sale of lease returns described above, temporary sales support measures, higher marketing expenses at the beginning of the year, transaction-related costs in connection with the closing of the voluntary public takeover offer of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) in July 2020 as well as a need for additional risk provisioning in the mid single-digit million euro range as part of the regular review of the residual values of the leasing fleet in the first half of 2020. EBT adjusted for one-time and extraordinary effects amounted to EUR 15.1 million in the first three quarters of 2020.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The challenging economic conditions do not prevent us from continuing to implement our strategy consistently and, in particular, from pushing ahead with the digitization of our product and service portfolio. Our new major shareholder, Hyundai Capital Bank Europe, will support us in this."

In November, Sixt Leasing SE participates in Germany's largest discount campaign with its "Black Leasing Friday", offering private and corporate customers popular new vehicles at especially attractive rates on its online platform sixt-neuwagen.de. Besides, the company plans the introduction of a completely digital order process on sixt-neuwagen.de starting from the 2021 financial year. Beyond that, the business model of Sixt Leasing SE will be extended by used car leasing.

Outlook
As the Managing Board of Sixt Leasing SE announced in its ad-hoc release on 21 October 2020, the expectation for the 2020 financial year - as communicated on 20 March 2020 - presuming a slight year-on-year increase in the Group's contract portfolio and of consolidated operating revenue at approximately the same level as in the previous year can probably not be realized. This is due to a weaker-than-expected business development in the third quarter of 2020 and the prospect of a continuing or even worsening COVID-19 situation in the fourth quarter of 2020. For the current financial year, the Managing Board expects that both the Group contract portfolio and its consolidated operating revenue will probably be significantly below the corresponding figures of last year.

In addition, the Managing Board confirms its earnings forecast, as adjusted on 20 July 2020, that the originally communicated earnings forecast for the 2020 financial year cannot be realized as expected. This is mainly due to the effects of additional risk provisioning and one-off transaction-related costs, which are already incurred in earnings, and other transaction-related costs to be recognized in the fourth quarter.

The Managing Board of Sixt Leasing SE is of the opinion that the strategic partnership with the new major shareholder, HCBE, puts the Sixt Leasing Group in a position to utilise new growth potential together in the future. Furthermore, the Managing Board hopes that the integration of Sixt Leasing into the two international and financially strong Groups of Santander and Hyundai also offers the opportunity to further optimise the company's financing structure.

Sixt Leasing SE: autohaus24 GmbH appoints Werner König as Co-Managing Director

Pullach, 5 October 2020 - autohaus24 GmbH, one of the leading online new car brokers in Germany and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sixt Leasing SE, has appointed Werner König as Managing Director. He replaces Mr. Michael Ruhl, who continues to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Sixt leasing SE. Mr. König shares the management of autohaus24 with Mr. Josef Finauer, who has held this position since April 2020.

Mr. König has been Head of Remarketing at Sixt Leasing for about five and a half years and will continue this operation in addition to his new tasks at autohaus24. Moreover, he was Managing Director of Sixt Car Sales GmbH from early 2015 to mid 2020. Previously, he successfully held several senior management positions in the automotive sector.

In his function as Managing Director of autohaus24 GmbH, Mr. König is responsible for the offline business with the former Sixt Car Sales locations for used cars in Berlin, Eching and Frankfurt. These had been sold to Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) as part of the 92% takeover of Sixt Leasing SE by HCBE and are to be rebranded to the autohaus24 brand in early 2021. At the same time, Mr. Finauer will concentrate on the online business of autohaus24.de.

Since April 2020, Mr. Finauer has also been Managing Director of SXT Leasing Dienstleistungen GmbH & Co. KG and represents the business areas Productmanagement, Maintenance and Damage within Sixt Leasing SE. Previously he was, among other things, Service Manager at MAHAG Group (Volkswagen Group Retail Germany).

A joint focus of Mr. König and Mr. Finauer will be the rebranding of the autohaus24 brand with a new logo, new website and new brand strategy. In addition, the product portfolio will be expanded.

Josef Finauer, Managing Director of autohaus24 GmbH: 'I would like to thank Michael Ruhl for the successful collaboration and I am pleased to have a proven expert at my side with Werner König once again. Our goal is to develop autohaus24 into a digital car dealership for new and used cars and, in future, service products. We will offer these both online and offline at our locations.'

Werner König, Managing Director of autohaus24 GmbH: 'I am looking forward to taking autohaus24 to the next level together with Josef Finauer. Our extensive experience in the industry provides a good basis for a successful strategic reorientation with a strong online and offline business.'

Since 2009, autohaus24 has stood for excellent customer service, cross-brand advice and the best possible discount for new cars from German dealerships. The autohaus24 service guarantee ensures the full manufacturer's warranty, full liability for material defects and full service at the authorised dealer near the buyer.

Sixt Leasing SE: Operating business development in the first half of 2020 in line with expectations

DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Half Year Results/Interim Report
12.08.2020 / 08:30

Sixt Leasing SE: Operating business development in the first half of 2020 in line with expectations

  • Group contract portfolio in the first six months of 2020 almost stable - Significant increase compared to 30 June 2019
  • Consolidated operating revenue impacted by COVID-19 pandemic, as expected
  • Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) in particular burdened by increased risk provisioning and transaction-related costs
  • Managing Board continues to expect business development to recover in the second half of the year

Pullach, 12 August 2020 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has developed, based on the earnings forecast reduced on 20 July 2020, overall in line with expectations in the first half of 2020. The Group's contract portfolio remained almost stable in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of June 2020. Consolidated operating revenue declined year-on-year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were very significantly below the previous year's level and were burdened in particular by the increase in risk provisions in connection with the residual values of the leasing fleet and by transaction-related costs. The Managing Board continues to expect business development to recover in the second half of the year.

Business development in H1 2020
In the first half of 2020, the expansion of the digital product and service portfolio in particular was further advanced. In the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing launched a sales cooperation with PAYBACK via its online platform sixt-neuwagen.de to market a Kia Stonic "VISION" to private customers. In addition, autohaus24.de was honored with the consumer award "Germany's Best Online Portals 2020" in the category "New Car Portals" from the news channel n-tv and the German Institute for Service Quality, and received the rating "High Recommended" in the category "Car Leasing: Online Providers" in the FOCUS-MONEY study "Recommended by Customers". In the Fleet Management business unit, the smartphone app "The Companion" for fleet customers was further developed and, among other things, upgraded with the digital payment function "Shell Payment@Pump". Furthermore, two proven industry experts, Mr. Christian Braumiller and Mr. Michael Poglitsch, could be gained as new Managing Directors of Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH. In the Fleet Leasing business field, Sixt Leasing expanded its cooperation with BSH Hausgeräte GmbH in the field of e-mobility.

The contract portfolio in Online Retail fell by 5.7 per cent to 41,800 contracts in the period from the end of December to the end of June, particularly burdened by lower new orders due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as further vehicle returns from the 1&1 campaign conducted in the 2017 financial year. The contract portfolio in Fleet Leasing declined by 2.4 per cent to 39,500 contracts. Fleet Management recorded growth of 4.0 per cent to 53,500 contracts.

Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased slightly by 1.0 per cent to 134,800 contracts in the period from the end of December to the end of June. The decline from the end of March to the end of June (-0.4 per cent) was slightly lower than in the first three months (-0.7 per cent). Compared to the end of the first half of 2019, the Group contract portfolio recorded a significant growth of 6.8 per cent at the end of the first half of 2020. The main reason for this was the acquisition of Flottenmeister GmbH in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Consolidated revenue in the first half of 2020 fell by 13.5 per cent year-on-year to EUR 370.3 million. This is mainly due to the decline in vehicle sales revenues in the Leasing business unit, which comprises the business fields Online Retail and Fleet Leasing. On the other hand, sales revenues in the Fleet Management business unit increased significantly. Overall, sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management fell by 20.1 per cent to EUR 156.2 million. This decline is in particular due to the very strong first quarter of the previous year, with a very high number of leasing returns sold in the Online Retail business field, and to the restrictions imposed on stationary motor vehicle trading due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) decreased by 7.9 per cent to EUR 214.1 million. The "lockdown" caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the decline in this regard. Among other things, this led to a significant reduction in vehicle use, which in particular caused a decline in use-related revenues, such as fuel revenues, for example.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell in the first six months of 2020 by 7.2 per cent to EUR 106.7 million compared to the same period last year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) recorded a decline of 79.7 per cent to EUR 2.9 million. This was mainly due to the increased risk provisions in a mid single-digit million euro range and to burdens from one-off transaction-related costs in a low to medium single-digit million euro range, which were incurred in connection with the completion of the voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) in July 2020 and which had in part already to be considered in the accounting in the first half of 2020. Adjusted for these two one-off and extraordinary non-operating effects, the correspondingly adjusted earnings before taxes in the first half of 2020 amounted to EUR 11.2 million. Furthermore, the lower EBT is in particular due to the volume effect in vehicle sales described above, and increased marketing expenses at the beginning of the year. The operating return on revenue in the first six months of 2020 thus amounted to 1.3 per cent (-4.7 percentage points). Consolidated profit decreased by 83.2 per cent to EUR 1.7 million.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "Our Group contract portfolio remained almost stable in the first half of 2020 despite the corona pandemic. We are confident that the market environment will continue to ease in the second half of the year. Our new major shareholder will support us in continuing to successfully implement our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy program."

Growth prospects with new major shareholder
According to the last publication under capital market law, HCBE holds just over 92 per cent of the ordinary shares and voting rights of Sixt Leasing SE since the completion of the voluntary public takeover offer. The strategic partnership with the new major shareholder enables Sixt Leasing to jointly exploit new growth opportunities. The integration of Sixt Leasing into the group of the two international and financially strong groups Santander and Hyundai also offers the opportunity to further optimise the Company's financing structure.

Outlook
For the 2020 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect a slight increase in the Group's contract portfolio and consolidated operating revenue to be approximately on the previous year's level. However, in accordance with the reduced earnings forecast issued on 20 July 2020, the Managing Board assumes that the earnings forecast published on 20 March 2020 cannot be realised in regard to EBT and that the 2020 annual result will also be burdened by further one-off transaction-related costs in the second half of 2020 to the expected extent. The one-off transaction-related costs in the first half of 2020 are included in the reduced earnings forecast.

The assumptions and uncertainties pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic described in the Risk and Opportunities Report of the Half-Yearly Financial Report 2020 also apply to the forecast. This includes in particular the assumption that business development will recover in the second half of the year.

Christoph Braumiller and Michael Poglitsch take over the management of Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH as of June 2020

DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Personnel
26.06.2020 / 12:42

Christoph Braumiller and Michael Poglitsch take over the management of Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH as of June 2020

Pullach, 26 June 2020 - Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH, one of the leading independent providers of fleet management in Europe and wholly owned subsidiary of Sixt Leasing SE, has gained two proven industry experts, Mr. Christoph Braumiller and Mr. Michael Poglitsch, as new Managing Directors.

Mr. Braumiller has more than 30 years of experience in the fleet business. Since 2015, he has been Managing Director of Flottenmeister GmbH, which has been part of the Sixt Mobility Consulting Group since October 2019. Prior to this, Mr. Braumiller worked for other well-known fleet management and leasing companies, for example from 1987 to 2007 at ASL (formerly Auto Service Leasing) and in 2007 as one of the co-founders and shareholders of Hannover Leasing Automotive GmbH. In future, Mr. Braumiller will play a decisive role in the processing of operational services and will thus be responsible, together with his colleague, for the quality of the services offered.

As second Managing Director and equal partner, Mr. Michael Poglitsch will take care of the issues Sales & Internationalisation. With him, SMC has gained a successful management personality. Mr. Poglitsch has been part of the Sixt Group for 20 years and, among other things, has made a significant contribution to the national and international sales success of Sixt SE as Senior Director Global Accounts. In addition to his sales expertise, Mr. Poglitsch has an excellent network at home and abroad, which he has been able to build up over the last years and which will be very useful for SMC.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "We are convinced that with Mr. Braumiller and Mr. Poglitsch at the head of Sixt Mobility Consulting, we will be able to successfully continue and further expand the course set by the previous Managing Director Christoph von Tschirschnitz with regard to digitalisation, growth and internationalisation. The individual consultation, the custom-fit solutions and the high service quality will of course be maintained."

Mr. von Tschirschnitz had taken over the management of Sixt Mobility Consulting in October 2018 with the task of driving forward the internationalisation and expansion of the business to other European countries and the further digitalisation of the business model. Mr. von Tschirschnitz and his European teams have successfully and rapidly implemented these goals. The company has now undergone an entrepreneurial realignment and is operating for customers in five European countries. The company's business model is now largely digitalised right down to the end customer. A core element of the digitalisation offensive - the powerful app "The Companion" for fleet management and corporate mobility in the European markets developed under his leadership - has been very well received by customers within a short period of time.

Mr. von Tschirschnitz's management contract would have expired in the next few months, and the Managing Board of Sixt Leasing SE and Mr. von Tschirschnitz have agreed amicably and by mutual consent to terminate the management contract at the end of May 2020 after the achievement of significant milestones, so that the restructuring of the Group and its integration into the future Group structure of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH can be arranged with managers available on a longer-term basis after the transaction has been completed.

Michael Ruhl: "We would like to thank Mr. von Tschirschnitz for the successful corporate reorientation of Sixt Mobility Consulting, the achieved international expansion and the digitalisation of our business model."

Sixt Leasing SE: Annual General Meeting approves dividend of EUR 0.90 for 2019 financial year

  • Virtual Annual General Meeting adopts all proposals of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board on the agenda by a large majority
  • Managing Board explains growth opportunities, particularly in the context of the strategic partnership with the new major shareholder

Pullach, 24 June 2020 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, held a successful virtual Annual General Meeting yesterday in Pullach. Approximately 53 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, among other things, the appropriation of distributable profits and the supplementary election of the Supervisory Board.

Attractive dividend resolved
The shareholders approved the proposal to distribute a significantly increased dividend of EUR 0.90 per share for the 2019 financial year (previous year: EUR 0.48). Based on the year-end price for 2019, this corresponds to a dividend yield of around 8 per cent (previous year: 4.2 per cent).

The dividend is thus in line with shareholders' expectations in connection with the sale of Sixt SE's stake in the company and the accompanying voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE).

Supplementary election to the Supervisory Board
The shareholders also approved the proposal to elect Dr. Julian zu Putlitz, member of the Management and Chief Financial Officer of IFCO MANAGEMENT GmbH based in Pullach, as a member of the Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE to succeed Dr. Bernd Metzner. The election was effective as of the end of this year's Annual General Meeting and for the remaining term of office of the retired Supervisory Board member. Dr. Metzner had resigned his office as a member of the Company's Supervisory Board with effect from 18 July 2019.

Future growth plans
Under the title "New Growth Opportunities", Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE, explained the Company's future prospects to the shareholders, especially with regard to the partnership with the new major shareholder HCBE. Accordingly, the future alliance will enable Sixt Leasing to successfully continue its current growth strategy and to exploit further growth potential. In the 2020 financial year, the focus will be on the further expansion of digitalisation and the internationalisation of the business model.

In addition, the CEO addressed the effects of the current COVID-19 situation on the business development of Sixt Leasing. The Managing Board expects that the second quarter will be the quarter most affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in terms of earnings, throughout the 2020 financial year. Furthermore, the burden on earnings from transaction-related costs will also increase. However, the easing of the COVID-19 regulations adopted in recent weeks makes the Managing Board confident that the business development will recover in the second half of 2020 as it expects.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "As part of our growth strategy, we will, among other things, expand our range of products and services with further innovative digital offerings and drive forward the internationalisation of the organisation. Together with the support of our new major shareholder HCBE, we are thus ideally placed to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe."

Sixt Leasing SE: Final acceptance rate for voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH at more than 92 per cent

Pullach, 26 May 2020 - Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE), a joint venture of Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc., has today announced the final result of its voluntary public takeover offer to the shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE: Taking into account the stake of Sixt SE, the acceptance rate amounted to 92.07 per cent at the end of the additional acceptance period provided for by law on 20 May 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST). Thus, the acceptance rate has again increased very significantly compared to the end of the regular acceptance period (72.84 per cent). The minimum acceptance threshold was 55 per cent.

Björn Waldow, CFO of Sixt Leasing SE: "We are very pleased with the extraordinarily high acceptance rate. The high level of acceptance creates clear conditions with regard to the ownership structure. With our new anchor shareholder, we can thus continue our corporate strategy and jointly exploit new growth opportunities. We are optimistic that the outstanding offer conditions will be met in the coming months and expect the transaction to be completed in the second half of 2020."

In accordance with § 16 of the German Securities Trading and Takeover Act (WpÜG), shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE who had not tendered their shares by the end of the regular acceptance period on 30 April 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST) were able to accept the offer from HCBE until the end of the additional period provided for by law. The completion of the takeover offer is still subject to the remaining customary closing conditions set out in the offer document. HCBE and Sixt Leasing expect these conditions to be met in the coming months and expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2020.

Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in the first quarter of 2020 in line with expectations

DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Quarter Results
12.05.2020 / 07:30

Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in the first quarter of 2020 in line with expectations

  • Slight decrease in Group contract portfolio in the first three months of 2020 - Significant increase compared to the same period of the previous year
  • Consolidated operating revenue and earnings before taxes (EBT) below previous year's level, as expected
  • Managing Board and Supervisory Board propose a dividend of EUR 0.90 per Sixt Leasing share to the shareholders for the 2019 financial year
  • Managing Board intensifies measures to reduce COVID-19 risks and confirms forecast for 2020 - Still recovery expected in the second half of the year
  • End of additional acceptance period for voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH on 20 May 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST)

Pullach, 12 May 2020 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has developed in line with expectations in the first quarter of 2020. The Group's contract portfolio decreased slightly in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of March 2020. Consolidated operating revenue declined year-on-year. Earnings before taxes (EBT) were very significantly below the previous year's level. The Managing Board confirms the forecast for the 2020 financial year. Accordingly, it continues to expect business development to recover in the second half of the year.

Business development in Q1 2020
In the first quarter of 2020, the expansion of the digital product and service portfolio in particular was further advanced. In the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing launched a sales cooperation with PAYBACK via its online platform sixt-neuwagen.de to market a Kia Stonic "VISION" to private customers. In the Fleet Management business unit, the smartphone app "The Companion" for fleet customers was further developed and, among other things, upgraded with the digital payment function "Shell Payment@Pump". In the Fleet Leasing business field, Sixt Leasing expanded its cooperation with BSH Hausgeräte GmbH in the field of e-mobility.

The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field fell slightly by 1.8 per cent to 43,500 in the period from the end of December to the end of March, particularly as a result of further vehicle returns from the 1&1 campaign conducted in the 2017 financial year. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field declined by 1.7 per cent to 39,700 contracts. The Fleet Management business unit recorded growth of 1.4 per cent to 52,200 contracts. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 0.7 per cent to 135,300 contracts.

Compared to the end of the first quarter of 2019, the Group contract portfolio recorded a significant growth of 7.7 per cent. The main reason for this was the 24.9 per cent increase in the contract portfolio in Fleet Management, which is mainly due to the acquisition of Flottenmeister GmbH in the fourth quarter of 2019. The contract portfolio in Online Retail increased by 2.6 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Fleet Leasing recorded a decline of 4.1 per cent.

Consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2020 fell by 14.4 per cent year-on-year to EUR 199.3 million. This is mainly due to the decline in sales revenues. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) fell by 4.5 per cent to EUR 114.3 million. Sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management fell by 24.8 per cent to EUR 85.0 million. This decline is mainly due on the one hand to the very strong first quarter of the previous year with a very high number of leasing returns sold in the Online Retail business field, and on the other hand to the restrictions on stationary automobile trade as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell in the first three months of 2020 by 1.5 per cent to EUR 56.3 million compared to the same period last year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) recorded a decline of 20.3 per to EUR 5.6 million, which was in line with expectations. The lower EBT is due, among other things, to the volume effect in vehicle sales described above, increased marketing expenses at the beginning of the year and initial transaction-related costs in connection with the voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE). The operating return on revenue in the first three months of 2020 thus amounted to 4.9 per cent (-1.0 percentage points). Consolidated profit decreased by 33.4 per cent to EUR 3.8 million.

Dividend proposal
The Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE propose to the shareholders a dividend of EUR 0.90 per Sixt Leasing share for the 2019 financial year (previous year: EUR 0.48). Thus, the Boards confirm the dividend expectations of the shareholders as deriving from the sale of Sixt SE's stake in the company and the associated voluntary public takeover offer by HCBE. The Managing Board and Supervisory Board based their dividend proposal on the up to date business, investment and liquidity planning of the company, which already has been adjusted to the expected economic and financial effects of the COVID-19 situation on the markets and the operations of Sixt Leasing SE.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "As expected, the general conditions for our business have become more challenging. We have therefore significantly intensified our early warning, monitoring and control measures for the Sixt Leasing Group. Our new major shareholder HCBE will give us the tailwind to continue to successfully implement our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy program. The minimum acceptance threshold for the voluntary public takeover offer has already been reached. The further acceptance period will end in a few days."

With its internal control and risk management system, Sixt Leasing SE is appropriately positioned for monitoring and controlling the Group, also in regard to the current COVID-19 situation. However, the Managing Board has intensified risk management due to the more demanding framework conditions.

Takeover offer
Shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE can accept the voluntary public takeover offer by HCBE until the end of the legally stipulated, additional acceptance period on 20 May 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST). The minimum acceptance threshold of 55 per cent was significantly exceeded at the end of the regular acceptance period on 30 April 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST) with an acceptance rate of 72,84 per cent. The closing of the takeover offer is still subject to the remaining customary closing conditions set out in the offer document.

HCBE, a joint venture of Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc., had announced the offer on 21 February 2020. The offer document was published on 24 March 2020. In their joint reasoned statement on 6 April 2020, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE issued a recommendation to shareholders to accept the offer. The statement is available on the Internet at https://ir.sixt-leasing.com/takeoveroffer.

Outlook
According to the forecast published on 20 March 2020, the Managing Board continues to expect a slight increase in the Group's contract portfolio compared with the 2019 financial year and consolidated operating revenue to be roughly at the previous year's level. With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a figure very significantly below the previous year's level. This does not yet take into account the expenses that would be incurred after a successfully completed HCBE takeover offer. The Managing Board expects the transaction to be completed in the second half of 2020 and, in this case, expects additional one-off costs in a high single-digit million euro range in the year 2020, part of which is to be considered in the accounting already in the first half of 2020. The assumptions and uncertainties in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic described in the Quarterly Statement also apply to the forecast. This includes the assumption that a recovery in business development will occur in the second half of the year 2020.

        • Outlook for 2020 confirmed: Slight increase in Group contract portfolio; consolidated operating revenue approximately at the previous year's level and EBT very significantly below previous year expected
        • CEO Michael Ruhl: "In the 2020 financial year, our focus is on the further digitalisation of the business model and the alignment of the organisation to future national and international growth. Hyundai Capital Bank Europe will support us as a new major shareholder in the event of a successful takeover offer."

        Pullach, 29 April 2020 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has published its Annual Report 2019. Accordingly, there were no deviations from the preliminary annual figures, which had already been published in March 2020. Business development in 2019 is in line with the forecast adjusted in October 2019. For the 2020 financial year, the forecast issued in March of this year remains valid.

        Business development in 2019
        The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) climbed significantly in the 2019 financial year by 5.0 per cent to 136,200 contracts, reaching the highest figure in the company's history. This is primarily due to the positive development in the fourth quarter and the acquisition of Flottenmeister GmbH.

        Consolidated revenue increased by 2.3 per cent to a record EUR 824.4 million. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) decreased by 2.6 per cent to EUR 468.2 million. Sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management rose disproportionately by 9.5 per cent to EUR 356.3 million. The higher number of vehicle returns in the Online Retail business field contributed in particular to this increase.

        Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased by 3.4 per cent to EUR 232.7 million. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) for the 2019 financial year were 4.0 per cent below the previous year's figure at EUR 29.3 million. The operating return on revenue remained almost stable at 6.3 per cent (2018: 6.4 per cent). Consolidated profit declined by 2.0 per cent to EUR 21.5 million.

        Dividend proposal
        For the 2019 financial year, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE are considering to propose a dividend of up to EUR 0.90 per share to the Annual General Meeting. The specific proposal for the appropriation of profits will be published along with the agenda for the 2020 Annual General Meeting at the latest. The event will take place on 23 June 2020 as a virtual Annual General Meeting.

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In the 2020 financial year, our focus is on the further digitalisation of the business model and the alignment of the organisation to future national and international growth. Thus, we are taking the next step towards becoming the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe. Hyundai Capital Bank Europe will support us as a new major shareholder in the event of a successful takeover offer."

        Takeover offer
        The voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH, a joint venture of Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc., has been running since 24 March 2020 and will end tomorrow, on 30 April 2020, at midnight (CEST). The offer price in the amount of EUR 18.00 per share in cash is equivalent to a premium of around 25.0 per cent on the unaffected Xetra closing share price as of 18 February 2020 and a premium of around 40.8 per cent on the unaffected volume-weighted average price during the last three months up to and including 18 February 2020.

        Further details can be found in the joint reasoned statement of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE regarding the takeover offer, which was published on 6 April 2020 and is available at https://ir.sixt-leasing.com/takeoveroffer. The Managing Board and Supervisory Board support the takeover offer and are of the opinion that the completion is in the interest of Sixt Leasing SE, its shareholders and other stakeholders.

        Outlook
        The Managing Board confirms the forecast published on 20 March 2020. Accordingly, it expects a slight increase in the Group's contract portfolio compared with the 2019 financial year and consolidated operating revenue to be roughly at the previous year's level. With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a figure very significantly below the previous year's level. This does not yet take into account the expenses that would be incurred after a successfully completed takeover offer. In this case, the Managing Board expects additional one-off costs in a high single-digit million euro range in the year 2020.

        Sixt Leasing SE: Managing Board and Supervisory Board recommend acceptance of the voluntary public tender by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH

        DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Statement/Offer
        06.04.2020 / 14:36
        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

        Sixt Leasing SE: Managing Board and Supervisory Board recommend acceptance of the voluntary public tender by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH

        • Joint reasoned statement by the Managing Board and Supervisory Board published
        • Fair financial consideration with an attractive premium for shareholders
        • The Managing Board and Supervisory Board welcome the commitment of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH to support the strategy of Sixt Leasing

        Pullach, 6 April 2020 - Today, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE have published their reasoned statement in accordance with section 27 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG) regarding the voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) to all shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE. Accordingly, they recommend Sixt Leasing shareholders to accept the takeover offer. HCBE, a joint venture of Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc., had announced the offer at a price of EUR 18.00 or, if certain conditions defined in the offer document are met, up to EUR 18.90 per Sixt Leasing share in cash on 21 February 2020 and published the corresponding offer document on 24 March 2020.

        The Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing have independently examined and evaluated the conditions of the takeover offer. Taking into account the information in the statement and the overall circumstances in connection with the takeover offer as well as the objectives and intentions of HCBE as set out in the offer document, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board are of the opinion that the consideration offered by HCBE is appropriate and the takeover offer is in the interest of Sixt Leasing. In addition to the aforementioned recitals, they also used a Fairness Opinion to examine the appropriateness of the consideration offered. The Managing Board and Supervisory Board consider the offer price to be attractive, particularly also in light of the current volatile capital market environment.

        The Managing Board and Supervisory Board support the takeover offer and are of the opinion that the completion of the takeover offer is in the interest of Sixt Leasing SE, its shareholders and other stakeholders. The operational measures intended by HCBE, Banco Santander and Hyundai Motors, such as the intention to strengthen and support Sixt Leasing's strategy regarding the growth trend "car-as-a-service", the intention to continue to operate Sixt Leasing in particular as a multi-brand company independent of automobile manufacturers or the further expressed intention to increase the Company's revenues in the Fleet Management business unit by increasing the number of customers, leverage effects in the operating business and international expansion, are considered positive and plausible. Likewise, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board consider the future integration of the Company into the group of two international and financially strong groups to be positive for the future refinancing possibilities of Sixt Leasing. In the interest of the other stakeholders, in particular the employees, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board welcome HCBE's, Banco Santander's and Hyundai Motors' statement that, in principle, there are no plans to carry out major restructuring processes in the organisation or in the employee representatives of Sixt Leasing.

        Key data on the takeover offer and the statement
        The acceptance period for the offer has started with the publication of the offer document on 24 March 2020 and will end on 30 April 2020, 24:00 hours (CEST). The success of the offer is conditional upon the achievement of a minimum acceptance threshold of at least 55 per cent of the Sixt Leasing shares issued at the end of the acceptance period as well as the occurrence of other customary closing conditions. The Sixt Leasing shares tendered for sale are identified by the ISIN DE000A2888L0.

        The joint reasoned statement of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE, Pullach, on the voluntary public takeover offer (cash offer) by HCBE to the shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE published on 24 March 2020 is available free of charge from Sixt Leasing SE, Investor Relations, Zugspitzstraße 1, 82049 Pullach, Tel: +49 (0) 89 74444-4518 Fax: +49 (0) 89 74444-85169; E-Mail: [email protected].

        Sixt Leasing SE: Significant increase in contract portfolio in 2019 financial year - More demanding general conditions in 2020

        DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Preliminary Results
        25.03.2020 / 07:30
        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

        Sixt Leasing SE: Significant increase in contract portfolio in 2019 financial year - More demanding general conditions in 2020

        • Group contract portfolio climbs to record level in 2019 financial year - All three business fields return to growth in the fourth quarter
        • Number of new contracts in the Online Retail business field increases by more than 30 per cent year-on-year in 2019
        • Consolidated operating revenue and earnings before taxes (EBT) below previous year's level, as expected
        • Outlook for 2020: Slight increase in Group contract portfolio and consolidated operating revenue at about the previous year's level expected; EBT influenced by Coronavirus and costs in connection with the announced takeover offer
        • Offer document of HCBE published on 24 March 2020 after approval by Bafin
        • CEO Michael Ruhl: "Our goal remains to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe. Therefore, we want to continue to implement our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy programme and, in particular, expand our product and service portfolio."

        Pullach, 25 March 2020 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has significantly increased its Group contract portfolio in the 2019 financial year according to preliminary calculations (IFRS). By the end of December, the Group contract portfolio had climbed to 136,200 contracts, reaching the highest level in the company's history. The main reason for this was the positive development in the fourth quarter. Consolidated operating revenue decreased slightly. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were 4.0 per cent below the previous year's level. Thus, business development was in line with the expectations of the Managing Board in accordance with the forecast adjusted in October 2019. In the current 2020 financial year, the general conditions are becoming more demanding, according to the Managing Board.

        Business development in the fourth quarter of 2019

        In the fourth quarter of 2019, all business fields were able to increase their contract portfolio compared to the third quarter of 2019. The contract portfolio in Online Retail grew by 1.7 per cent. The Fleet Leasing business field recorded an increase of 2.7 per cent - thus it grew in comparison to a previous quarter for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2017. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Management business unit climbed by 16.4 per cent, in particular due to the acquisition of Flottenmeister GmbH. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) grew by 7.1 per cent compared to the previous quarter.

        Business development for the full year 2019

        Compared to the previous year, the number of contracts in the Online Retail business field decreased slightly by 0.8 per cent to 44,300 in the 2019 financial year. A significantly higher number of expiring contracts was offset by more than 13,000 new contracts, an increase of more than 30 per cent compared to the previous year.

        The number of contracts in the Fleet Leasing business field declined by 6.1 per cent to 40,400 in the 2019 financial year. This was mainly due to further vehicle returns following the loss of a volume customer in the previous year.

        The Fleet Management business unit recorded a significant increase in the contract portfolio by 22.5 per cent to 51,500 contracts, mainly due to the acquisition of Flottenmeister GmbH with around 7,000 contracts.

        Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) thus rose significantly by 5.0 per cent to 136,200 contracts in the 2019 financial year. This is in line with the Managing Board's forecast, which was adjusted in October 2019.

        Consolidated revenue grew by 2.3 per cent year-on-year to a record EUR 824.4 million. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) decreased by 2.6 per cent to EUR 468.2 million. The Managing Board had recently expected a figure in the region of EUR 465 million. Sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management rose disproportionately by 9.5 per cent to EUR 356.3 million. The higher number of vehicle returns in the Online Retail business field contributed in particular to this increase.

        Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased by 3.4 per cent to EUR 232.7 million in the 2019 financial year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) for the 2019 financial year were 4.0 per cent below the previous year's figure at EUR 29.3 million. The Managing Board had recently expected EBT in the region of EUR 29 million. The operating return on revenue remained almost stable at 6.3 per cent (2018: 6.4 per cent). Consolidated profit declined by 2.0 per cent to EUR 21.5 million.

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In 2019, we were able to increase our contract portfolio significantly, but in 2020 the general conditions are becoming more demanding. The spread of the Coronavirus in particular presents us with major challenges. Nevertheless, we are convinced that we can master this situation. Not least, we expect our potential new strategic major shareholder to give us a tailwind. Our goal remains to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe. Therefore, we want to continue to implement our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy programme and, in particular, expand our product and service portfolio."

        Support from new strategic major shareholder

        With the purchase of Sixt SE's 41.9 per cent stake in Sixt Leasing SE by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) on 21 February 2020, Sixt Leasing SE has a new strategic major shareholder. The joint venture between Santander Consumer Bank and Hyundai Capital Services supports the existing strategy of the Sixt Leasing Group. As planned, the Managing Board of Sixt Leasing will therefore focus in the 2020 financial year on the further digitalisation of the business model and the alignment of the organisation to future national and international growth.

        On 24 March 2020, HCBE published the offer document after approval by Bafin. The regular acceptance period runs up to and including 30 April 2020. Further details of the takeover offer can be found at hcbe-offer.com.

        Outlook

        The forecast published on 20 March 2020 applies to the current 2020 financial year. Accordingly, the Managing Board expects a slight increase in the Group's contract portfolio compared with the preliminary figures for the 2019 financial year and consolidated operating revenue to be roughly at the previous year's level. With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a figure very significantly below the previous year's level.

        The cautious forecast is, in addition to the operative business development to date in the current year 2020, mainly due to the current national and international development of the COVID-19 situation. Moreover, the consolidated earnings in the 2020 financial year will be burdened by costs independent of the completion of the takeover bid from HCBE in a low single-digit million euro range, which will be incurred to a significant extent in Q1 2020. If the transaction is successfully completed, which is expected in the second half of 2020, further one-off costs of the company (e.g. IT expenses, consulting fees and bonuses) in a high single-digit million euro range are also expected in 2020. Possible growth impulses from the change of the major shareholder are not included in these forecasts, as they cannot be quantified at present.

        DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Offer
        21.02.2020 / 17:52
        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

        Sixt Leasing SE gets new major strategic shareholder with Hyundai Capital Bank Europe

        • Hyundai Capital Bank Europe, a joint venture between Santander Consumer Bank and Hyundai Capital Services, acquires Sixt SE's 41.9 percent stake in Sixt Leasing SE
        • Announcement of voluntary takeover offer to all shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE to purchase the remaining shares
        • Offer price of EUR 18.00 per share in cash is equivalent to a premium of around 40.8 percent on the unaffected volume-weighted average price of the past three months
        • Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "New major shareholder supports current growth course."

        Pullach, 21 February 2020 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, is to get a new major shareholder in the form of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE), a joint venture between Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc. This is the result of a share purchase agreement signed today between HCBE and Sixt SE. The agreement envisages HCBE purchasing all of Sixt SE's shares in Sixt Leasing SE, which amount to 41.9 percent, against payment of a purchase price of EUR 18.00 per share.

        Subsequently, HCBE today announced a voluntary public takeover offer aimed at all shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE, to acquire the remaining shares in Sixt Leasing SE against payment of a cash consideration in the amount of EUR 18.00 per share. The offer price is equivalent to a premium of around 25.0 percent on the unaffected Xetra closing share price as of 18 February 2020 and a premium of around 40.8 percent on the unaffected volume-weighted average price of the past three months.

        If the share purchase agreement and the takeover offer are closed prior to this year's annual general meeting of Sixt Leasing SE, the price will be increased, depending on the consolidated profit for the financial year 2019 as stated in the audited consolidated financial statements of Sixt Leasing SE, by up to EUR 0.90 per share in each case. In this context, Sixt SE has informed Sixt Leasing SE of a dividend expectation of up to EUR 0.90 per share for the 2019 financial year, subject to a sufficient unappropriated profit.

        The takeover offer as well as the share purchase agreement will be made subject to certain completion conditions, amongst others, merger control and other regulatory clearances, a minimum acceptance threshold of 55 percent of the shares of Sixt Leasing SE and further customary closing conditions.

        Erich Sixt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE: "Following the IPO in the year 2015, Sixt SE and Sixt Leasing SE will now be fully separated. With its mature, promising business model, I expect Sixt Leasing to continue to develop positively also outside the Sixt Group. I would like to thank the Managing Board, the management team and all of the staff at Sixt Leasing for their major contribution to the success of the Sixt Group in recent years and decades."

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "We are delighted to welcome Hyundai Capital Bank Europe as major shareholder on board of Sixt Leasing SE. With the expertise and resources of the two globally active corporations Santander and Hyundai, we can complement our strengths ideally. Together we will continue Sixt Leasing's current strategy to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe."

        New growth opportunities through strategic partnership
        With its strong expertise in the vehicle leasing and mobility business, Sixt Leasing attracted HCBE as a strategic partner in order to be able to offer the full range of products and services and utilize all distribution channels. Therefore, Sixt Leasing will continue to operate its business model that has proven to be a success with a strong focus on innovation and growth. The new major shareholder is committed to the existing strategy capitalizing on secular growth trends in the car-as-a-service sector and will continue to invest in the business and employees. With regard to future market trends, the focus will especially be on growth in the retail sector.

        Jochen Klöpper, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH: "We are delighted about the opportunity to cooperate strategically with Sixt Leasing in the future. The know-how and successful business model of the company form a strong platform for growth. By complementing our product portfolio with Sixt Leasing's innovative mobility services and fleet business at the point of sale and online, Hyundai Capital Bank Europe is able to further strengthen its position in the automotive finance sector."

        Yoono Hwang, President of Hyundai Capital Services Korea and Member of the Supervisory Board of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH: "We are convinced that this is an excellent opportunity to leverage the innovation potential of Sixt Leasing with regard to future market trends in the automotive sector."

        Brand usage secured for a further five years
        In order to continue Sixt Leasing's business seamlessly in its new ownership structure, Sixt Leasing SE and Sixt SE have agreed on the continued use of existing brand rights for a period of five years from the date on which the transaction is completed (closing). The Sixt Leasing Group will therefore be able to continue to use brands like 'Sixt Leasing', 'Sixt Neuwagen' and 'Sixt Mobility Consulting' in the scope of the business activities so far also over the next five years.

        Expansion of used vehicle sites in Germany
        Also today, Sixt Leasing SE entered into an agreement with companies of the Sixt SE Group on the acquisition of the used vehicle sites belonging to SL Car Sales GmbH in Eching (near Munich) and Berlin. The purchase of these two locations depends upon the completion of HCBE's acquisition of Sixt SE's stake in Sixt Leasing SE. Sixt Leasing already runs an own used vehicle site at Egelsbach near Frankfurt. This means that the company will have a total of three of its own retail locations in Germany in future. The Garching site will remain with SL Car Sales GmbH within the Sixt SE Group.

        Further information on the voluntary takeover offer
        The offer document will be published at a later date by HCBE in line with the stipulations of WpÜG (German Law on Securities Acquisition and Takeovers), following approval by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, BaFin). The Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE will assess the offer and provide and publish a reasoned statement on the offer following publication of the offer documents and in compliance with their legal obligations.

        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

        Sixt Leasing SE starts digital aftersales of service products on sixt-neuwagen.de

        • Expansion of service offering for existing customers on sixt-neuwagen.de: 'Worry-free maintenance and tear package' now bookable after placing a leasing order
        • Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "By expanding our product and service portfolio and making it more flexible we are able to open up an even bigger market potential for our online business."

        Pullach, 11 December 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new cars in Germany, is expanding the service offering for private and commercial customers on its online platform sixt-neuwagen.de. This means customers now have the opportunity to book the 'worry-free maintenance and wear package' online even after placing their order for a new car. Previously this was only possible if they conclude a leasing contract at the same time. In addition, the company is preparing the sales launch for services to private and commercial companies independently of any leasing contract.

        Josef Finauer, Senior Director Product Management at Sixt Leasing SE: "With the digital after-sale of the 'worry-free maintenance and wear package' we are expanding our product portfolio on sixt-neuwagen.de by adding a very attractive service offering for existing customers. Further services are planned for both new and existing customers. From 2020 we will also be offering the 'worry-free package' and other services independently from a leasing contract, through partnerships for example. This will also enable private and commercial car owners to benefit from our first-class services and low-cost prices for the first time."

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The launch of digital aftersales on sixt-neuwagen.de and the progress made on completely decoupling services from the leasing contract are part of our growth and digitalisation initiative. We are confident that this will give a real boost to the development of our business model in the context of our strategy programme 'DRIVE>2021'. By expanding our product and service portfolio and making it more flexible with these activities we are able to open up an even bigger market potential for our Online Retail business field."

        Users of the 'worry-free maintenance and wear package' profit from the top conditions and extensive partnership network of Sixt Leasing, which includes approximately 2,800 authorized workshops in Germany. The fixed monthly payment means the costs of the 'worry-free package' are always predictable and transparent. The Sixt Leasing Service Card ensures the services are easy to use.

        Sixt Leasing SE expands contract portfolio in Online Retail and Fleet Management in third quarter 2019

        DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): 9 Month figures/Quarter Results

        12.11.2019 / 07:30
        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.


        Sixt Leasing SE expands contract portfolio in Online Retail and Fleet Management in third quarter 2019

        • Increase in new business brings Online Retail business field back onto growth track in third quarter - Fleet Management continues to grow as well
        • Consolidated revenue up by nearly 6 per cent in first nine months of 2019 to EUR 633 million - operating revenue down slightly
        • EBT of EUR 21.5 million below previous year - Q3 strongest quarter in year to date at EUR 7.4 million
        • Managing Board confirms forecast for full year 2019

        Pullach, 12 November 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has expanded the contract portfolios in its Online Retail and Fleet Management business fields in the third quarter of 2019. In the Online Retail business field, the contract portfolio increased by 2.7 per cent in the period from the end of June to the end of September. This was particularly due to the successful sales cooperation between Sixt Neuwagen, Fiat and Tchibo. The Fleet Management business unit also saw its contract portfolio increase by 2.7 per cent on the previous quarter, maintaining its growth momentum. In the Fleet Leasing business field, the contract portfolio declined by 3.3 per cent over the third quarter. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) grew by 0.8 per cent in the period from the end of June to the end of September 2019.

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The positive signals from the Online Retail business field and ongoing growth in the Fleet Management business unit give us confidence for the future development of the contract portfolio. Thanks to the takeover of Flottenmeister GmbH by our subsidiary Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH, we are now even expecting the Group's contract portfolio to be significantly higher at year-end 2019 than last year."

        In the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing ran an innovative sales campaign in cooperation with Fiat and Tchibo from the end of June to early September. It involved the marketing of new, well-equipped Fiat 500 Lounge vehicles on particularly attractive terms to private customers via the online platform sixt-neuwagen.de. The campaign was very popular with both private customers and participating Fiat dealers.

        In the Fleet Management business unit, Sixt Mobility Consulting launched a new self-service app for company car users in the third quarter. 'The Companion' enables company car drivers to complete important car-related tasks - like making workshop appointments - quickly and easily at any time using their smartphone. Thus, Sixt Mobility Consulting is pushing ahead with the digitalisation of its business model and setting up its operations much more efficiently.

        At the start of the fourth quarter, Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH also announced the acquisition of all shares of Flottenmeister GmbH. The independent fleet manager, also based in Pullach near Munich, had more than 7,000 company cars under management at the end of September. The contracts are going to be transferred to the contract portfolio of the Sixt Leasing Group in the course of the fourth quarter 2019.

        Business performance in 9M 2019

        The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 2.0 per cent to 127,200 contracts during the period from the beginning of January to the end of September 2019. This was mainly due to the decline in the first quarter. In the second and third quarters, however, the contract development was positive.

        Consolidated revenue rose by 5.5 per cent to EUR 633.0 million compared to the same period last year. This is mainly attributable to the strong increase in sales revenues, especially from the considerably higher number of returned lease vehicles from the Online Retail business field. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) declined slightly by 2.3 per cent to EUR 350.0 million.

        Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) came to EUR 21.5 million for the first nine months of 2019, which is 7.8 per cent down on the previous year. The third quarter saw the strongest pre-tax earnings of the year to date at EUR 7.4 million.

        This brought the operating return on revenue for the first nine months of 2019 to 6.2 per cent (-0.3 percentage points). Consolidated net profit came to EUR 16.1 million (-9.5 per cent).

        Outlook

        In line with the adjusted full-year guidance published on 22 October 2019, the Managing Board is expecting the Group's contract portfolio at year-end to be significantly higher than last year. It is also anticipating consolidated operating revenue for the financial year 2019 in the range of EUR 465 million and EBT in the range of EUR 29 million.

        By the end of the 2021 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect an increase of the Group's contract portfolio to around 200,000 contracts and an increase in consolidated operating revenue to around EUR 650 million. EBT is still expected to increase to EUR 40 to 45 million.

        Sixt Leasing SE: Business performance in first half of 2019 as expected

        DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Half Year Results/Quarter Results

        12.08.2019 / 07:30
        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.


        Sixt Leasing SE: Business performance in first half of 2019 as expected

        • Consolidated revenue increases by 9 per cent to EUR 428 million in the first half of 2019
        • Contract portfolio and operating revenue decrease slightly, as expected
        • EBT of just over EUR 14 million in line with expectations
        • Business performance in the second half of the year still expected to be stronger
        • Managing Board confirms forecast for 2019 and medium-term targets for 2021

        Pullach, 12 August 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has performed in line with expectations in the first half of 2019. The company is also confirming its forecast for the 2019 financial year and its medium-term targets for 2021. In the first six months of 2019, consolidated revenue increased significantly compared to the same period last year while, as expected, the contract portfolio and operating revenue decreased slightly. Consolidating earnings before taxes (EBT) came in below last year's figure, as expected.

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "For the second half of 2019, we are expecting a stronger business performance than in the first half of the year. In particular, the further implementation of our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy programme will contribute to this. Our goal is to increase revenue and earnings significantly over the medium term. In doing so, we want to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe."

        Sixt Leasing's business model is to be developed in the 2019 financial year. To this end, the Managing Board has implemented various measures in the four areas of Products, Customer Experience, Segments & Markets and Processes. The focus is on growth and digitalisation initiatives in order to expand the product and service offer and to make it more flexible. In this context, an extension of the corporate purpose has already been decided by the Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, the company is now able to offer or broker certain products and services independently of any lease or fleet management contract.

        As part of the 'DRIVE>2021' strategy programme, further measures could be successfully implemented in the first half of 2019. In the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing launched an innovative sales cooperation with Fiat and Tchibo via its sixt-neuwagen.de online platform to market a brand-new Fiat 500 Lounge to private customers at particularly attractive rates. For the first time, such a cooperation integrated not only the car manufacturer but also the dealers.

        In the Fleet Management business segment, international expansion was given a boost with new managers in Austria, France and the Netherlands. The Austrian subsidiary is now also focused on serving customers in Eastern Europe. In Germany, the sales team was strengthened and the test phase of the new self-service app 'The Companion' for company car users started.

        Business performance in H1-2019

        The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 2.7 per cent to 126,200 contracts during the period from the beginning of January to the end of June 2019. In the second quarter, however, the contract development was positive. The Group's contract portfolio increased again slightly compared to the end of the first quarter.

        In the Leasing business segment, the contract portfolio's development was burdened by further vehicle returns from the 1&1 campaign as well as further returns resulting from last year's dropped out high-volume customer in the Fleet Leasing business field. In the Fleet Management business segment, the contract portfolio continued to grow.

        Consolidated revenue rose by 8.5 per cent to EUR 428.0 million compared to the same period last year. This is mainly attributable to the significant increase in sales revenues, especially from the considerably higher number of sold lease returns in the Online Retail business field. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) remained virtually stable at EUR 232.5 million (-1.5 per cent).

        Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) in the first half of 2019 were with EUR 14.1 million in line with expectations (-10.7 per cent compared to the first half 2018). The operating return on revenue therefore amounted to 6.1 per cent (-0.6 percentage points). Consolidated net profit totalled EUR 10.4 million (-9.5 per cent).

        Outlook

        For the second half of 2019, the Managing Board expects a stronger business performance than in the first half of 2019. For the 2019 financial year, the Managing Board therefore continues to expect a slight increase of the Group's contract portfolio as well as consolidated operating revenue and EBT both at around the previous year's level.

        By the end of the 2021 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect an increase of the Group's contract portfolio by around 50 per cent to around 200,000 contracts and a significant increase in consolidated operating revenue to around EUR 650 million. EBT is still expected to increase from just over EUR 30 million to EUR 40 to 45 million compared to the 2018 financial year.

        Roberto Debortoli, Brand Country Manager Fiat/Abarth: "Innovative vehicle and mobility concepts have been part of Fiat's brand DNA for 120 years now. In its current 2020 model year, the Fiat 500 is again the epitome of Italian automotive culture, which makes it the perfect vehicle for this partnership for FCA. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Fiat trade partners again, who are supporting us to jointly implement this campaign. We see this promotion as a chance to reach new customers who have not yet had Fiat in their relevant set. We expect this to generate significant additional business."

        With optional service products to an all-round carefree package
        In addition, customers can use attractive service products on request. Thus, an insurance as well as a maintenance and wear package can be booked on attractive terms already during the ordering process for the vehicle, and be included in the monthly leasing instalment. The insurance package with full cover, partial cover, motor vehicle liability and GAP cover is available for only EUR 58 per month.

        Sixt Leasing SE: Annual General Meeting votes for stable dividend and extension of the corporate purpose

        DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): AGM/EGM/Dividend

        04.06.2019 / 14:30
        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.


        Sixt Leasing SE: Annual General Meeting votes for stable dividend and extension of the corporate purpose

        • Annual General Meeting adopts all proposals on agenda items from Managing Board and Supervisory Board by large majority
        • Shareholders approve stable dividend of EUR 0.48 per share for financial year 2018 and vote to extend the corporate purpose
        • Managing Board plans significant further development of product and service portfolio in the current year

        Pullach, 4 June 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, held a successful Annual General Meeting yesterday in Munich. Approximately 61 per cent of share capital was represented altogether. The shareholders adopted all the proposals from the Supervisory Board and Managing Board by a large majority. Items on the agenda included the appropriation of distributable profits and the extension of the corporate purpose in its Articles of Association.

        Stable dividend approved
        Shareholders approved the proposal to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.48 per share for the 2018 financial year, which is in line with the previous year. This represents a total dividend payment of EUR 9.9 million. The dividend pay-out ratio is therefore around 45 per cent of consolidated net profit and so in the middle of the forecast target range of 30 per cent to 60 per cent of consolidated net profit. In terms of the closing price at year-end 2018, this represents a dividend yield of 4.2 per cent. Sixt Leasing SE is thus continuing its attractive dividend policy.

        Corporate purpose extended
        Shareholders also approved the proposal to expand the corporate purpose. In future, the Company will therefore be able to offer or broker certain products and services independently of any lease or fleet management contract. This includes damage management, maintenance and wear-and-tear packages, insurance or tyre services.

        2019 growth initiatives presented
        In a presentation entitled 'The future of longer-term auto-mobility', Michael Ruhl, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) since 1 January 2019, introduced his plans to shareholders for the further implementation of the strategy programme 'DRIVE>2021' that was launched in 2018. Accordingly, the service range of Sixt Leasing is to be further developed significantly in the current year, particularly in the areas of Products, Customer Experience, Segments & Markets and Processes. The focus will be on digitalisation throughout this.

        The Managing Board expects that these growth initiatives will already start to have an effect in 2019 and will achieve their full potential by 2020 at the latest. Fleet growth in Germany, extending the service business and international expansion in particular are intended to contribute to achieving the Company's medium-term growth targets by financial year 2021.

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "We are pleased with the high level of approval for our proposals and would like to express our sincere thanks to our shareholders. In future, we intend to grow even faster, both in direct sales and via partnerships and cooperation agreements. This puts us in an optimal position for becoming Europe's leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility."

        Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in Q1 2019 in line with expectations

        DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Quarter Results/Quarterly / Interim Statement

        08.05.2019 / 07:30
        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.


        Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in Q1 2019 in line with expectations

        • Slight decrease of Group contract portfolio and operating revenue
        • EBT with around EUR 7 million in line with expectations
        • Managing Board introducing measures in four areas to further improve business model
        • Forecast for 2019 financial year and medium-term targets for 2021 confirmed

        Pullach, 8 May 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has performed as expected in the first quarter of 2019 and is confirming its forecast for the 2019 financial year as well as its medium-term targets for 2021. In addition, the Managing Board has introduced various measures to further develop the Group's business model and to increase revenue and earnings significantly over the medium term.

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "Our goal for 2019 is to significantly develop our business model in the four areas of Products, Customer Experience, Segments & Markets and Processes. Our focus will be on digitalisation throughout this. In doing so, we are laying the foundation for becoming the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe."

        • In the Products area, the existing product range will be supplemented with new more flexible and bundled offerings in order to address individual customer groups even more specifically. Moreover, in addition to new car leasing, customers should be given the opportunity to lease used vehicles, and to book individual service products independently of a leasing or fleet management contract.
        • The Customer Experience will be improved further with more user-friendly online portals, applications and processes. App-based self-service functions should give users a simple and intuitive alternative to the currently still frequently used service processing via telephone, email or fax. Furthermore, Sixt Leasing is planning to open more of its own locations where customers can pick up and return their vehicle directly.
        • In the Segments & Markets area, the Group is putting a stronger focus on smaller corporate customers in the B2B business. The Fleet Management business unit will further develop into an integrated corporate mobility manager, offering not only standard fleet management services but also integration of innovative, forward-looking mobility concepts such as mobility budgets and car sharing. On top of that, the company is seeking to expand its international operations more aggressively.
        • Sixt Leasing will gradually automate and digitise Business Processes, which are still partly manual or analogue, in order to achieve more efficient procedures both for customers and within the organisation. At the same time, the cooperation between the business fields is to be intensified in order to make better use of synergies and optimise costs.

        Business performance in Q1 2019

        The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased slightly by 3.1 per cent to 125,600 contracts during the period from the beginning of January to the end of March 2019. Throughout this, the contract portfolio was adversely affected in particular by the continued high number of vehicle returns due to the successful 1&1 campaign and last year's drop-out of a volume Fleet Leasing customer.

        Consolidated revenue rose by 15.2 per cent to EUR 232.7 million compared to the same period last year. This is mainly attributable to the significant increase in sales revenue, especially from the considerably higher number of sold leasing returns in the Online Retail business field. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) declined by 0.6 per cent to EUR 119.7 million, remaining virtually stable.

        Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) therefore fell by 12.7 per cent to EUR 7.0 million. The operating return on revenue decreased by 0.8 percentage points to 5.9 per cent. Consolidated net profit declined by 3.8 per cent to EUR 5.7 million.


        Outlook

        For the 2019 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect a slight increase of the Group's contract portfolio as well as consolidated operating revenue and EBT both at around the previous year's level. At the same time, the business development in the first half of 2019 is still expected to remain significantly weaker than in the same period of the previous year as well as the expected business development in the second half of 2019.

        By the end of the 2021 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect an increase of the Group's contract portfolio by around 50 per cent to around 200,000 contracts and a significant increase in consolidated operating revenue to around EUR 650 million. EBT is still expected to increase from just over EUR 30 million to EUR 40 to 45 million compared to the 2018 financial year.

        Sixt Leasing SE accelerates digitalisation of the business model and confirms forecasts

        DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Annual Results

        16.04.2019 / 08:31
        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.


        Sixt Leasing SE accelerates digitalisation of the business model and confirms forecasts

        • Sixt Leasing publishes Annual Report 2018 and presents digitalisation initiatives for the financial year 2019
        • Shareholders to receive a stable dividend for the financial year 2018, subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting
        • Managing Board still expects a significant increase in Group contract portfolio, consolidated operating revenue and EBT by the financial year 2021

        Pullach, 16 April 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has published its Annual Report 2018 and presented its plans for the further implementation of its strategy programme 'DRIVE>2021' today. Accordingly, the digitalisation of the business model in particular is to be continued in the financial year 2019. The Managing Board assumes that the growth initiatives planned in this context will already start to have an effect in the current financial year and will achieve their full potential by the financial year 2020 at the latest. On this basis, the Managing Board confirms the forecast for the financial year 2019 and the outlook for 2021 adjusted in March.

        Growth through digitalisation

        In 2018, the company has further improved its risk-return profile and laid the foundation for future growth. In the financial year 2019, the Managing Board is shifting its focus to expanding the product and service offering and making it more flexible with various digitalisation initiatives. At the same time, efficiency gains are to be achieved by means of process optimisation.

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In 2019, we are shifting our focus from risk management to digitalisation in the implementation of our strategy programme 'DRIVE>2021'. Our vision is to become the leading provider of longer-term auto mobility in Europe. To this end, we will offer our customers the best-in-class individualised solutions. We are confident that this will accelerate our future revenue and earnings growth and bring us back onto the growth path in terms of contract portfolio."

        Financial year 2018

        The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 2.4 per cent to 129,700 contracts in the financial year 2018, remaining roughly at the level of the previous year. This was due to the slow implementation of the new WLTP emission test procedure and the diesel discussion.

        Consolidated revenue climbed by 8.3 per cent to a record EUR 805.8 million, in particular due to the strong contract growth in the Online Retail business field in the previous year. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) increased by 5.7 per cent to EUR 480.5 million.

        Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) rose by 2.8 per cent to EUR 30.5 million. Operating return on revenue remained relatively stable at 6.4 per cent (2017: 6.5 per cent). Consolidated net profit improved by 5.1 per cent to EUR 22.0 million.

        The Supervisory Board has approved the Managing Board's plan to propose a stable dividend of EUR 0.48 per share for the financial year 2018 to the Annual General Meeting on 3 June 2019.

        Outlook

        For the current financial year 2019, the Managing Board is still expecting a slight increase of the Group's contract portfolio as well as consolidated operating revenue and EBT both at around the previous year's level. In the course of this, business development in the first half-year 2019 is expected to be significantly weaker than in the same period of the previous year as well as the expected business development in the second half of 2019.

        Regarding the mid-term outlook, the growth targets adjusted in last March continue to apply. Accordingly, the Managing Board plans to increase the Group's contract portfolio by around 50 per cent to around 200,000 contracts by the end of the financial year 2021. The key drivers will be the two business fields Online Retail and Fleet Management, where very strong growth is expected in the medium term. Regarding consolidated operating revenue, the Managing Board is expecting a significant increase to around EUR 650 million by the financial year 2021. EBT is projected to grow from currently just over EUR 30 million to EUR 40 to 45 million by 2021.

        --

        The outlook is based on the figures presented in the Annual Report 2018, which Sixt Leasing SE has published today and which can be downloaded from http://ir.sixt-leasing.com/annual-reports. Accordingly, the report shows no deviations from the preliminary annual figures already released in March.

        Sixt Leasing SE achieves record revenue and increases earnings in 2018 financial year

        DGAP-News: Sixt Leasing SE / Key word(s): Preliminary Results/Forecast

        13.03.2019 / 20:30
        The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.


        Sixt Leasing SE achieves record revenue and increases earnings in 2018 financial year

        • Group contract portfolio with around 130,000 contracts roughly at previous year's level
        • Consolidated operating revenue increases by almost six per cent to more than EUR 480 million
        • Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) rise by almost three per cent to more than EUR 30 million
        • Managing Board makes proposal to Supervisory Board of stable dividend of EUR 0.48 per share
        • Outlook for 2019: Slight increase in Group contract portfolio as well as stable consolidated operating revenue and EBT expected
        • CEO Michael Ruhl: "In 2019, we are strengthening our focus on the topic of digitisation in order to further optimise our product range and to make our internal and customer related processes more efficient."

        Pullach, 13 March 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, generated record revenue and increased its earnings in the 2018 financial year, according to preliminary calculations (IFRS). The Group's contract portfolio remained almost stable compared to the previous year, but is expected to increase again slightly in 2019. In the mid-term, the Managing Board expects significant growth, also for revenue and earnings.

        Business performance
        The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field decreased by 1.6 per cent to 44,700 contracts in 2018, remaining roughly on a par at the level of the previous year. This development was influenced by two factors in particular. Firstly, new business was weaker than in the previous year primarily due to the slow implementation of the new WLTP test procedure and the related tight delivery situation for certain manufacturers. And secondly, the number of expired contracts increased sharply in the 2018 financial year due to strong contract growth over the past years.

        The contract portfolio in the Fleet Management business unit increased stronger than expected by 6.6 per cent to 42,000 contracts.

        The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field saw a decrease of 10.5 per cent to 43,000 contracts. This was primarily due to the unexpected loss of a volume customer and the active risk management announced at the beginning of the year. Within this initiative, the potential residual value risk posed by diesel vehicles across the total new leasing business was lowered successfully. The portfolio of diesel vehicles in Germany with the Euro 5 standard or lower without buyback agreement was thereby reduced to just approximately 2,800 vehicles as at 31 December 2018. This equates to a decline of approximately 50 per cent in comparison to the corresponding previous year's figure (31 December 2017: around 5,600 vehicles).

        Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 2.4 per cent to 129,700 contracts, remaining roughly at the level of the previous year.

        Consolidated revenue climbed by 8.3 per cent year-on-year to a record EUR 805.8 million, in particular due to the expansion of the contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field in the 2017 financial year. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) increased slightly stronger than expected by 5.7 per cent to EUR 480.5 million. Sales revenue from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in Fleet Management achieved above-average growth of 12.3 per cent to EUR 325.3 million. This was mainly due to a higher number of vehicle returns in the Online Retail business field.

        Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased slightly in the 2018 financial year by 2.8 per cent to EUR 240.8 million. The financial result increased significantly year-on-year by EUR 3.0 million to EUR -13.2 million. Interest expenses were reduced significantly especially as a result of the repayment of the last two instalments of the Core Loan to Sixt SE in the amount of EUR 300 million in June 2017 and EUR 190 million in June 2018.

        Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) rose by 2.8 per cent to EUR 30.5 million in the 2018 financial year, thereby roughly matching the previous year's figure as forecasted. Operating return on revenue remained relatively stable at 6.4 per cent (2017: 6.5 per cent). Consolidated net profit rose by 5.1 per cent to EUR 22.0 million.

        Subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, the Managing Board plans to propose a dividend of EUR 0.48 per share for the 2018 financial year to the Annual General Meeting on 3 June 2019. This proposal represents a pay-out ratio of around 45 per cent of consolidated net profit and a dividend yield of 4.2 per cent based on the closing price at year-end 2018. The ratio is therefore in the middle of the communicated target range of 30 to 60 per cent of the consolidated net profit.

        Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In 2018, we have made our portfolio fit for the future and thereby improved our risk-return profile significantly. In 2019, we intend to get back on our growth path and to expand the product portfolio and make it more flexible via various digitisation initiatives. At the same time, we plan to leverage cost potentials and realise efficiency enhancements through process optimisations."

        Due to the recent noticeable change of the market environment and the customer preferences especially in Online Retail, Sixt Leasing is now increasingly focussing on supplementing its offerings through products and services which can be used to target further customer groups. On the basis of evolved strengths and long-time experience in the early development of customer-oriented solutions, the company is very well positioned to benefit disproportionally from the expected continuing strong market growth.

        Outlook
        For the current 2019 financial year, the Managing Board is forecasting a slight increase of the Group's contract portfolio as well as consolidated operating revenue and EBT both at around the previous year's level. For the first half of 2019, business development is expected to be significantly weaker than in the same period of the previous year as well as the expected business development in the second half of 2019.

        On the basis of the present market and business development, the Managing Board has adjusted the medium-term growth targets. Thus, it is expecting an increase of the Group's contract portfolio to around 200,000 contracts until the end of the 2021 financial year (previously: more than 220,000 contracts). The company hence still expects very strong growth in the Online Retail and Fleet Management business fields in the medium term. Regarding consolidated operating revenue, the company expects a significant increase to around EUR 650 million by the financial year 2021 (previously: around EUR 700 million). EBT is also expected to increase significantly to a figure in the range of EUR 40 to 45 million by 2021 (previously: EUR 50 million).
