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

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."

With this cooperation, the Allane Mobility Group is further expanding its collaboration with the Munich-based charging infrastructure specialist Mer Solutions. The two companies had already previously implemented various projects with the aim of building charging infrastructure. The cooperation, which started in December 2022, aims to offer new and existing customers an individual, flexible and sustainable charging infrastructure.

About Mer
Today, companies are faced with the challenge of realizing the energy and transport turnaround. Mer's vision is that customers everywhere can charge their electric vehicles with 100 percent green electricity. In this way, companies reduce their ecological footprint and convert their vehicle fleet to electrified drives individually and cost-efficiently. As a leading provider of charging solutions, Mer provides not only fleet customers but also end consumers with the complete charging infrastructure for operating electric and hybrid vehicles. With a public charging network of more than 20,000 charging stations operated by Mer and access to a total of over 200,000 charging points in Europe, both corporate and private customers can rely on Mer. Services include planning, hardware, installation, and operation of the charging stations, as well as the provision of services via own apps and portals - and all this with the backing of Statkraft, the largest producer of renewable energy in Europe. This is how Mer is going down the path of true mobility and energy transition.

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

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

• 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

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 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.

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

• 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

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

• 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

• 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.

The Allane Mobility Group is expanding the product portfolio on its online platforms autohaus24.de and sixt-neuwagen.de with all available services.

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.

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.

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Allane SE publishes half-year financial report 2021

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sixt Leasing SE is now called "Allane SE"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in first quarter of 2021 further impacted by COVID-19 pandemic - Outlook for 2021 confirmed

• Business development in the first quarter of 2021 in line with expectations
• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

• 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 [email protected]". 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 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

• 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 [email protected]". 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.

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.
