Q&A

But first, a brief refresher on finance leases…

  • When leasing out a bike, we buy it from the retailer and give it to a lessor to use – in return, we get a monthly lease rate
  • IFRS however, sees the economic essence of such a deal as us giving the bike user a loan and he goes out and buys himself a bike
  • As a consequence, there are no bikes on our balance sheet, but lease receivables (financial asset)
  • The future cash flows that we receive in the form of lease rates (and the residual value at the end of the lease term) therefore must be seen as part payment of principal and part interest income on the bike user's loan
  • To determine the figures, we apply the effective interest method
  • Starting point is the bike's purchase price (initial book value of the lease receivable)
  • Internal rate of return is calculated based on future cash flows vs. the initial cost
  • Incoming rates are accounted for like loan annuities
  • Over the lease term, we receive principal repayments in the amount of the bike's purchase price – the rest is interest income

When IFRS 3 (business combinations) comes into play…

  • When acquiring a company in an M&A transaction, IFRS 3 requires the buyer to revalue all assets and liabilities of the target at the point of time when control is obtained
  • This so-called purchase price allocation (PPA) mostly results in a value stepup (market value is greater than book value in the target's balance sheet)
  • Usually, this relates to intangible assets (customer base, trademarks etc.) and therefore, PPA mostly leads to increased amortization expenses in the consolidated accounts
  • When we acquired Bikeleasing, substantial leasing receivables had to be revalued. The IRRs of Bikeleasing's contracts in general is clearly higher than any market rates that come into play when revaluing future cash flows
  • Therefore, discounting future cash flows at a lower rate, leads to a higher revalued leasing receivables in our consolidated accounts, compared to their acquisition cost
  • The amount of future cashflows however, remains untouched by this
  • When applying the effective interest method now, those future cashflows must be allocated more to principal repayments and less to interest income
  • As a result, earnings are reduced (P&L effect)
  • This accounting effect in our consolidated is not cash-effective. Just like PPA amortization, the value step-up decreases earnings only due to M&A accounting
  • Since this has nothing to do with Bikeleasing's value creation, we adjust for that effect Cost of

When leasing receivables are forfaited (sold-off)…

  • In order to optimize financing and to keep the balance sheet as lean as possible, Bikeleasing seeks to sell-off most leasing receivables
  • Buyers can be banks, insurance companies, institutional investors etc.
  • When a leasing receivable is sold in a way that essentially all risks and rewards are transferred to an external party, the receivable is derecognized from the balance sheet
  • The delta between the sales price and the cost of acquisition is profit, which we show in our P&L as revenue
  • The sale occurs at an amount lower than the total of future cash flows from the receivable. This discount is the profit margin of the investor who buys the leasing receivable

When leasing receivables are forfaited (sold-off)…

  • In this situation too, the remeasurement of the lease receivable has an earnings-decreasing impact in the consolidated accounts
  • Since this effect is not cash-effective either, we adjust for it in order to present Bikeleasing's value creation without distorting effects from M&A accounting
