Deep dive: Seasonality of Bikeleasing

(# of bikes facilitated in percent of year's volume)

Comment

  • Supply shortages due to COVID led to limited supply at bike retailers until some 12 months ago
  • Consumers therefore ordered bikes more evenly throughout the year, expecting longer delivery times
  • This led to an extraordinarily strong Q1 2023 and a "flattening" of the usual seasonality
  • As delivery times have returned to normal due to the available supply, seasonality is expected to return to its historic average
  • This is expected to further intensify the already strong seasonality at Bikeleasing, leading to a reduced % of annual bikes brokered in Q1/Q4

Bikeleasing – Operational deep dive

Another record Q1 for Bikeleasing in terms of revenue and earnings

# of corporate customers grew to ~62k with ~3.4 million employees #

# of facilitated bikes with ~27k slightly below the previous year, due to a normalization of seasonality (unusually mild Jan/Feb 23 paired with higher order backlog due to longer, covid-fueled order times)

(# bikes facilitated)

Long-term (7 year) average Q1 weighting of ~13%

Building a one-stop-shop for employee benefits

  • Probonio is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for the management of a wide range of employee benefits
  • Through their proprietary platform and app, employers can currently offer their employees more than ten different benefits
  • Benefits include inter alia: non-monetary benefits (vouchers), meal subsidies, corporate fitness, integration of providers for bicycle leasing and occupational pension schemes

Strategic rationale

  • 1. Opportunity to offer more benefits than just bike leasing to new customers, from the same hand
  • 2. Following the integration, offering (upselling) the broadened portfolio of benefits to the existing Bikeleasing customer base (~62,000 companies; 3.4 million employees as per Q1 2024)
  • 3. Increasing the penetration within existing customers' employee base, due to Probonio's significantly higher usage rate amongst employees as compared to Bikeleasing
  • 4. Simplified internationalization, not being limited to bicycle leasing
