As of 30 September 2022 the Group's contract portfolio inside and outside Germany (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) totalled 118,200 contracts, 8.2% below the figure as of 31 December 2021 (128,800 contracts).
Consolidated revenue decreased by 2.0% during the first nine months of 2022 to EUR 554.6 million (9M 2021: EUR 565.8 million) compared to the same period of the previous year. Operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, increased by 0.1% to EUR 291.7 million (9M 2021: EUR 291.5 million). The only slight increase in operating revenue is mainly due to the supply bottlenecks for new cars and the resulting decline in contracts. In addition, the overall economic situation continues to be negatively influenced by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in Fleet Management decreased by 4.2% to EUR 263.0 million (9M 2021: EUR 274.4 million). This development mainly results from a decline in sales volume despite continuing high demand and rising unit prices for used cars. The decline in sales volume results from a lower contract portfolio as well as a higher number of contract prolongations.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased in the first three quarters 2022 by 2.1% to EUR 139.4 million (9M 2021: EUR 142.3 million) compared to the same period in the previous year. Earnings before taxes (EBT), however, increased by 137.3% to EUR 11.0 million (9M 2021: EUR 4.6 million). The operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) consequently came to 3.8% (9M 2021: 1.6%).
The increased EBT in the first three quarters is mainly due to the high price level on the used car market and the resulting still high margin of Allane SE on the sale of lease returns, lower depreciation on leased assets and an improvement in the financial result.

In the Leasing business unit, which consists of the business fields Retail Leasing (Online Retail and Captive Leasing) and Fleet Leasing, the contract portfolio totalled 67,900 contracts as of the end of the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 2.7% compared to the figure recorded at the end of 2021 (31 December 2021: 69,800 contracts). The Retail Leasing (Online Retail and Captive Leasing) contract portfolio decreased by 4.9% to 34,700 contracts (31 December 2021: 36,500 contracts). The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field saw a decline of
0.3% to 33,200 contracts compared to the previous year's figure (31 December 2021: 33,300 contracts). The decline is due to a higher number of contract expiries compared to the number of new contracts won.

| Operating return on revenue (%) | 4.2 | 1.6 | 2.6 points |
The increase in earnings before taxes (EBT) in the leasing business unit is mainly due to the high price level on the used car market and the resulting still high margin of Allane SE on the sale of lease returns, lower depreciation on leasing assets and an improvement in the financial result.
In the Fleet Management business unit, the contract portfolio decreased by 14.7% to 50,300 contracts in the first nine months of the current financial year (31 December 2021: 59,000 contracts).

As of 30 September 2022 Allane Mobility Group's equity totalled EUR 234.8 million, representing an increase of EUR 14.6 million or 6.6% compared to the precious year (31 December 2021: EUR 220.2 million). The equity ratio increased by 1.5 percentage points to 19.9% (31 December 2021: 18.4%), which resulted from the decrease in total assets and the profit of the period. The decrease of the balance sheet total primarily results from the lower level of lease assets.
As of 30 September 2022, the Allane Mobility Group reported non-current liabilities and provisions of EUR 538.6 million (31 December 2021: EUR 360.0 million, +49.6%). The increase of EUR 178.6 million was mainly due to non-current financial liabilities rising by EUR 174.5 million to EUR 489.2 million (31 December 2021: EUR 314.7 million, +55.5%). This results primarily from long-term loans taken out by Santander Consumer Bank AG to replace the early repayment of the bond issued in the 2018 financial year.
Current liabilites and provisions as of 30 September 2022 totalled EUR 408.8 million (31 December 2021: EUR 614.6 million). The decrease of EUR 205.9 million, or 33.5% is essentially the result of lower current financial liabilities declining by EUR 187.4 million to EUR 302.7 million (31 December 2021: EUR 490.1 million). The decrease
in current liabilities is mainly due to the early repayment of the bond issued in the 2018 financial year described above, which was carried out on 2 February 2022. In addition, accounts payable decreased by EUR 14.6 million or 22.2% to EUR 51.1 million (31 December 2021: EUR 65.7 million). Other liabilities decreased by EUR 4.5 million or 13.0% to EUR 29.8 million (31 December 2021: EUR 34.3 million).
In the first nine months of 2022, the Allane Mobility Group added vehicles with a total value of EUR 254.5 million (9M 2021: EUR 245.1 million) to the leasing fleet. Due to the continuing supply bottlenecks for new cars and the resulting decline in contracts, an increase of only 3.9% was achieved. In addition, the overall economic situation continues to be negatively influenced by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
On 2 November 2022, the Managing Board of Allane SE came to the conclusion that the expectation for the financial year 2022, last communicated 24 August 2022, of a Group-EBT in the higher single-digit million euro range will probably be exceeded (refer to 4. Report on outlook).
Beyond that, no significant events, that would affect the financial position and results of operations of the Group and the Company, have occurred after the end of the third quarter of the 2022 financial year.
With regard to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, Allane SE refers to the risk and fore-cast report in the management report of the Annual Report 2021, published on 29 April 2022. It should be noted, however, that at present it is hard to give reliable estimates for the future regarding the actual long-term economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the Russia-Ukraine war, and that consequently the estimates and discretionary decisions are still subject to greater uncertainty.
The Managing Board confirms the forecast adjusted on 2 November 2022. Accordingly, the Managing Board still expects to have 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 350.0 million and EUR 400.0 million (2021: EUR 386.0 million) in the current 2022 financial year. Based on the business development in the first nine months of 2022, the Managing Board of Allane SE now expects that the company will achieve a Group-EBT of between EUR 11.0 million and EUR 15.0 million in the current financial year 2022 (2021: EUR 6.1 million). 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.
