Sixt Leasing SE

Group Quarterly Statement as of 31 March 2019

1. BUSINESS REPORT

1.1 GROUP BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

The Sixt Leasing Group overall performed as expected in the first quarter of the 2019 financial year.

The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) amounted to 125,600 contracts as of 31 March 2019, down 3.1% from 31 December 2018 (129,700 contracts).

Consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2019 increased by 15.2% to EUR 232.7 million (Q1 2018: EUR 202.0 million) compared to the same period in the previous year. This is mainly attributable to the significant increase in sales revenue. Operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 0.6% to EUR 119.7 million (Q1 2018: EUR 120.3 million). Sales revenue from the sale of leasing returns and marketing of customer vehicles in Fleet Management rose in particular due to the considerably higher number of sold leasing returns in the Online Retail business field by 38.5% to EUR 113.0 million (Q1 2018: EUR 81.6 million).

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased in the first three months of 2019 by 6.1% to EUR 57.2 million (Q1 2018: EUR 60.9 million) compared to the same period in the previous year. As expected, earnings before taxes (EBT) saw a decline of 12.7% to EUR 7.0 million (Q1 2018: EUR 8.0 million). The operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) consequently amounted to 5.9% (Q1 2018: 6.7%).

1.2 LEASING BUSINESS UNIT

In the Leasing business unit, which consists of the business fields Online Retail and Fleet Leasing, the contract portfolio totalled 83,800 contracts as at the end of the first quarter, down 4.4% from 31 December 2018 (87,700 contracts). At the same time, the contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field declined by 5.0% to 42,400 contracts (31 December 2018: 44,700 contracts), with additional vehicle returns from the 1&1 campaign having a pronounced impact. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field saw a decline of 3.7% to 41,400 contracts compared with the end of 2018 (31 December 2018: 43,000 contracts), in particular due to additional vehicle returns as a result of the drop-out of a volume customer last year.

1.4 FINANCIAL POSITION

Equity

The equity of the Sixt Leasing Group amounted to EUR 222.6 million as of 31 March 2019, an increase of EUR 5.8 million compared to 31 December 2018 (EUR 216.8 million). The equity ratio improved by 0.8 percentage points from 15.6% to 16.4% with total assets slightly down.

Liabilities

As of 31 March 2019, non-current liabilities and provisions totalled EUR 832.7 million (31 December 2018: EUR 853.6 million). The decline of EUR 20.9 million was mainly due to non-current financial liabilities decreasing by EUR 22.4 million to EUR 803.2 million (31 December 2018: EUR 825.5 million).

Current liabilities and provisions as of 31 March 2019 totalled EUR 303.7 million (31 December 2018: EUR 322.4 million). The decline of EUR 18.7 million was mainly due to current financial liabilities decreasing by EUR 27.8 million to EUR 172.8 million (31 December 2018: EUR 200.6 million).

1.5 INVESTMENTS

The Sixt Leasing Group added vehicles with a total value of EUR 93.4 million to its leasing fleet in the first quarter of 2019 (Q1 2018: EUR 157.2 million; -40.6%). During the same quarter in the previous year, there were still some vehicles being delivered from the 1&1 campaign held in 2017 and therefore added to the leasing fleet.

2. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE

After the end of the first quarter of the 2019 financial year, no significant events, that would affect the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group and the Company, have occurred.

3. REPORT ON OUTLOOK

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

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