  • 1.1 Significant events and transactions

On February 16, 2022, GRENKE announced that the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) had completed its institution-related measures resulting from the special audit of GRENKE AG and GRENKE BANK AG conducted between autumn 2020 and spring 2021. As part of the regular Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), the amount of additional own resources that GRENKE must hold as a minimum was adjusted. As a result, GRENKE AG's capital requirement is now 10.5 percent compared to the previous 9 percent, due to an additional SREP capital surcharge of 1.5 percentage points. For the subsidiary GRENKE BANK AG, the capital requirement at single-entity level is now 11.5 percent compared to 8.5 percent previously (additional SREP capital surcharge: 3 percentage points). In addition, BaFin has ordered a proper business organisation to be ensured. GRENKE has launched an extensive organisational development project and has already addressed a large number of the findings. The additional SREP capital surcharge will be lifted again as soon as BaFin is satisfied of GRENKE's further development when it conducts its regular follow-up audits.

The macroeconomic environment continued to be difficult in the first quarter of 2022. In addition to the pandemic, the Russian war against Ukraine represented a particularly considerable burden on the global economy. In some industry sectors, the conflict and its consequences have further exacerbated existing supply bottlenecks. Russia's threats to cut-off delivery of oil and natural gas, as well as discussions by the West to renounce imports of Russian oil and natural gas have also led to a sharp rise in prices for these raw materials. This, in turn, sent the inflation rate in the eurozone to a new high of 7.5 percent in March 2022 (based on preliminary calculations).

1.2 New business

GRENKE Group's new business grew by 28.8 percent to EUR 690.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2021: EUR 536.0 million). Despite the challenging environment described at the beginning of this report, GRENKE Group increased its new business volume in all three segments – Leasing, Factoring and Banking. The year-on-year change in the average exchange rates of foreign currencies against the euro resulted in positive currency effects of EUR 2.1 million. These positive effects came primarily from the appreciation of the British pound and the Swiss franc against the euro, which was offset by the depreciation of the Turkish lira and the Polish zloty.

* Definition of regions in text.

New leasing business – defined as the total acquisition costs of newly acquired leased assets – increased by 36.5 percent in the first quarter of 2022, reaching a volume of EUR 499.2 million (Q1 2021: EUR 365.8 million). This demonstrates that the upward trend that began in the fourth quarter of 2021 continued in the first quarter of 2022. When viewing this year-on-year increase, it is important to note that new leasing business in the same prior-year quarter was affected by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and had fallen by 46.3 percent.

In the reporting quarter, all regions of the Leasing segment recorded an increase in new business. In the DACH region, which comprises Germany, Austria and Switzerland, new leasing business rose by 13.1 percent year-on-year to EUR 118.0 million (Q1 2021: EUR 104.3 million). In Germany, the largest single market in the region, new business increased by 9.5 percent. In Western Europe without DACH, new business grew by 33.9 percent to EUR 131.8 million in the reporting quarter (Q1 2021: EUR 98.4 million). In France, the most important single market in this region, new business volume rose by 34.6 percent. In Southern Europe, there was a significant percentage increase of 58.2 percent to EUR 131.9 million (Q1 2021: EUR 83.4 million). This growth was generated mainly in Italy as the most important market in the region, where the volume of new business increased by 59.9 percent in the first quarter of 2022. In viewing this performance, it is important to take into account that this strong increase in new leasing business in Italy is compared to the very low level in the same prior-year quarter caused by the pandemic. In Spain, the second most important market in Southern Europe, new business rose by 65.1 percent in the first quarter. In the Northern/Eastern Europe region, new business also increased at an above-average rate of 58.7 percent to EUR 90.7 million (Q1 2021: EUR 57.2 million). In the most important single market in this region, the United Kingdom, there was an increase of 88.3 percent. Starting from a relatively low base, the volume of new business in the other regions rose by 19.2 percent to EUR 26.8 million (Q1 2021: EUR 22.4 million).

In the first quarter of 2022, GRENKE Group registered a total of 134,653 lease applications (Q1 2021: 116,814), for an increase of 15.3 percent. The number of new lease contracts concluded in the reporting period was 61,906 (Q1 2021: 49,213), which corresponded to a rise in the conversaion rate (applications into contracts) of 46.9 percent (Q1 2021: 42.1 percent). International markets (without DACH) accounted for 111,174 applications (Q1 2021: 94,529), resulting in 48,891 new contracts (Q1 2021: 37,516). This amounted to a conversaion rate for the international markets of 44.0 percet (Q1 2021: 39.7 percent). In the DACH region, the conversion rate rose to 55.4 percent (Q1 2021: 52.5 percent). Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, the momentum of lease applications at Group level (Q4 2021: 119,825) continued to increase; the conversion rate in contrast was slightly lower (Q4 2021: 50.1 percent).

The mean acquisition value per lease contracts increased by 8.5 percent to EUR 8,064 in the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2021: EUR 7,434). This was within the expected range of EUR 8,000–10,000 for the full year. The relatively low mean acquisition value in the same prior-year quarter reflects the strong new business focus during the Covid-19 pandemic on small-ticket financing solutions for companies with good to very good credit and sector ratings. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the mean acquisition value per lease concluded was EUR 8,677.

The structure of the leasing portfolio shifted in favour of non-IT products in the first quarter of 2022, with the share of new business in this category increasing to 37.0 percent (Q1 2021: 33.0 percent). Strong growth was recorded especially in small machinery and equipment as well as security devices. The share of these categories in the leasing portfolio increased by 2.4 and 1.1 percentage points, respectively. IT products accounted for a total share of 63.0 percent (Q1 2021: 67.0 percent). The largest declines in share were in IT equipment (–2.1 percentage points) and copying technology (–1.3 percentage points). The slight shift in the leasing portfolio in favour of small machinery and equipment is primarily due to the overall increase in ticket size.

The acceptance of the eSignature product, which allows leasing contracts to be processed entirely digitally, continued to rise in the reporting quarter. The share of contracts concluded via eSignature increased to 42.7 percent (Q1 2021: 38.8 percent).

Contribution margin 2 (CM2) of new leasing business increased by 16.4 percent in the first quarter of 2022 and was EUR 83.2 million in absolute terms (Q1 2021: EUR 71.5 million). The CM2 margin was 16.7 percent (Q1 2021: 19.5 percent). The year-onyear decline in the margin resulted amongst others from the higher mean value per lease contract and higher refinancing costs, which are usually incorporated into the conditions with a time lag. In this comparison, it is important to note that the CM2 margin in the first quarter of the previous year was exceptionally high due to employing more restrictive acceptance policy for lease applications. Compared to the previous quarter (Q4 2021: 16.3 percent), however, the CM2 margin improved by 40 basis points.

Geographically, the year-on-year decline in the CM2 margin resulted primarily from the Southern Europe region (16.7 percent compared to 21.5 percent in Q1 2021), the Western Europe region (18.0 percent compared to 21.7 percent in Q1 2021) and Other regions (20.2 percent compared to 24.6 percent in Q1 2021). In the DACH region (13.1 percent compared to 14.2 percent in Q1 2021) and the Northern/Eastern Europe region (18.3 percent compared to 20.6 percent in Q1 2021), the decline was comparatively moderate. Nevertheless, all regions were still able to increase their CM2 margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, except for the Southern Europe regions, where the margin fell slightly.

business continues to be an important pillar of the Consolidated Group's refinancing. As of December 31, 2021, GRENKE Bank's deposit volume amounted to EUR 1,412.0 million.

1 2GRENKE GROUP / / QUARTERLY STATEMENT FOR THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2022

The CM1 margin of the leasing business (contribution margin 1 at acquisition values) was 11.1 percent in the first quarter of 2022 and reached a level of EUR 55.6 million (Q1 2021: 12.7 percent, or EUR 46.6 million). Higher refinancing costs, which are usually incorporated into the conditions with a time lag, and the higher mean acquisition value per lease contract were also responsible for the decline in the CM1 margin.

In factoring, new business corresponds to the sum of purchased receivables. Due to the nature of the factoring business, only comparatively low income results from the new business, which is derived from the gross margin in relation to the net acquisition values. The factoring business accounted for 1.3 percent of the total assets as of the March 31, 2022 reporting date.

New factoring business increased by 12.6 percent across all regions in the first quarter of 2022 to EUR 175.1 million (Q1 2021: EUR 155.4 million). The growth driver in the reporting quarter was the international business. With a largely steady share of receivables management (without financing function) of 23.4 percent (Q1 2021: 22.3 percent), where no default risks are assumed, new factoring business in the international markets increased by 26.3 percent

to EUR 132.1 million (Q1 2021: EUR 104.6 million). In Germany, however, new factoring business fell by 15.5 percent in the first quarter to EUR 43.0 million (Q1 2021: EUR 50.8 million). This resulted from the decline in receivables management (without financing function), whose share of new business fell to 16.2 percent (Q1 2021: 32.1 percent). The gross margin in the international markets increased slightly to 1.4 percent (Q1 2021: 1.3 percent) and improved in Germany to 1.4 percent (Q1 2021: 1.2 percent). The gross margin refers to the average period of a factoring transaction of approximately 24 days in Germany (Q1 2021: approximately 25 days) and approximately 46 days internationally (Q1 2021: approximately 43 days).

After largely discontinuing the lending business with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) at the beginning of 2021, GRENKE Bank's new business in the reporting quarter consisted solely of the microcredit business under the "Mikrokreditfonds Deutschland" (Microcredit Fund Germany) programme. This business reached a volume of EUR 15.8 million (Q1 2021: EUR 14.7 million). GRENKE Bank's deposit volume amounted to EUR 1,331.0 million as of the March 31, 2022 reporting date (March 31, 2021: EUR 1,637.4 million). Consequently, with a share of just under 30 percent, GRENKE Bank's deposit

Interest and similar income from financing business decreased by 9.1 percent to EUR 101.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2021: EUR 111.8 million). The decrease was the result of the decline in new business in the 2020 and 2021 financial years, which led to a reduction in the number of current contracts. Interest expenses fell by 17.0 percent to EUR 13.8 million (Q1 2021: EUR 16.7 million) due to the lower refinancing requirements associated with a lower volume of new business. The total net interest income in the first quarter of the 2022 financial year equalled EUR 87.8 million, for a year-on-year decline of 7.7 percent (Q1 2021: EUR 95.1 million).

The trend of lower expenses for the settlement of claims and risk provision in 2021 continued in the reporting quarter, with a decline of 29.2 percent to EUR 31.6 million (Q1 2021: EUR 44.6 million). The corresponding expenses for risk provision in the same prior-year quarter were adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Expenses for the settlement of claims and risk provision also benefitted from the increased but comparatively low volume of new business in the first quarter. This is due to the IFRS 9 requirement to recognise expected credit losses for lease receivables for the subsequent 12 months at the time the lease receivable is acquired.

Accordingly, the loss rate (expenses for the settlement of claims and risk provision in the reporting period, extrapolated to a full year, in relation to the volume of leased assets on the respective reporting date) improved to 1.4 percent in the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2021: 2.0 percent). The loss rate was thus within the range of 1.4 to 1.7 percent expected for the year as a whole.

Due to the year-on-year decline in risk provisioning, net interest income after settlement of claims and risk provision rose by 11.3 percent in the reporting quarter to EUR 56.2 million (Q1 2021: EUR 50.5 million).

The profit from service business was almost unchanged in the first quarter at EUR 28.0 million (Q1 2021: EUR 27.9 million). Due to lower capitalisable costs, the profit from new business in the reporting quarter fell by 10.4 percent to EUR 7.1 million (Q1 2021: EUR 7.9 million). Gains and losses from disposals improved to EUR 0.0 million in the reporting quarter compared to EUR –2.1 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The 8.4 percent increase in the income from operating business to EUR 91.3 million (Q1 2021: EUR 84.2 million) was mainly due to the lower expenses for settlement of claims and risk provision in the first quarter of 2022.

The Consolidated Group's largest expense item in absolute terms, staff costs, increased by 4.1 percent in the first quarter to EUR 33.0 million (Q1 2021: EUR 31.7 million). This increase resulted from a slight rise in the number of employees and an adjustment to the remuneration models. The increase in fixed remuneration components was disproportionately high compared to the reduction in variable components. The average number of employees in the reporting quarter was 1,816 (based on full-time employees; Q1 2021: 1,802), which was 0.8 percent higher year-on-year. As of 2021, employees on parental leave are no longer included in the staff numbers.

Depreciation, amortisation and impairment fell by 5.3 percent in the first quarter to EUR 6.6 million (Q1 2021: EUR 7.0 million). There was also a decline in selling and administrative expenses of 1.4 percent to EUR 24.8 million (Q1 2021: EUR 25.2 million). This decrease was due to a lower level of consulting and auditing costs of EUR 8.3 million (Q1 2021: EUR 11.2 million). In contrast, operating and distribution costs rose due to increased sales activities.

The balance of other operating income and expenses was EUR –1.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2021: EUR –0.6 million).

The cost-income ratio in the first quarter of 2022 rose to 55.1 percent (Q1 2021: 51.2 percent) and was slightly above the full-year target of below 52 percent, as expected. The increase was the result of a temporary reduction in net interest income due to more stringent portfolio management during the crisis and slightly higher staff costs.

The operating result for the first quarter of 2022 rose by 30.2 percent to EUR 25.6 million (Q1 2021: EUR 19.7 million), and earnings before taxes increased 47.8 percent to EUR 27.0 million (Q1 2021: EUR 18.3 million). The tax rate increased slightly to 24.0 percent, compared to 23.5 percent in the same prior-year quarter. Net profit in the first quarter of 2022 therefore increased by 46.8 percent to EUR 20.5 million (Q1 2021: EUR 14.0 million). Profit attributable to non-controlling interests resulting from the consolidation of the franchise companies amounted to EUR –0.4 million (Q1 2021: EUR –0.9 million). Accordingly, earnings per share in the first quarter of 2022 equalled EUR 0.26 (Q1 2021: EUR 0.12).

3.2.1 Net assets

Total assets compared to the end of the 2021 financial year decreased by 2.1 percent to EUR 6.5 billion as of the March 31, 2022 reporting date (December 31, 2021: EUR 6.7 billion). The decline was primarily a result of the decrease in cash and cash equivalents,

N O T E S T O T H E C O N D E N S E D I N T E R I M CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS C A L E N D A R OF EVENTS IMPRINT

which fell by 13.3 percent to EUR 739.3 million (December 31, 2021: EUR 853.1 million). This decrease essentially reflects the reduction in balances held at the Deutsche Bundesbank.

In the continuing difficult macroeconomic situation, the GRENKE Group continues to focus on maintaining sufficient liquidity in order to have the flexibility to respond to market conditions. The Consolidated Group is additionally obliged to maintain a liquidity buffer due to regulatory requirements. Thus, as of March 31, 2022, a total of EUR 549.6 million (December 31, 2021: EUR 639.3 million) was held in Deutsche Bundesbank accounts, which resulted in corresponding interest expenses due to the negative deposit interest rates.

The largest balance sheet item, non-current and current lease receivables, remained almost unchanged at EUR 5.1 billion compared to the end of the 2021 financial year (December 31, 2021: EUR 5.1 billion).

On the liabilities side, the decline in total assets is particularly reflected in the decrease in current and non-current financial liabilities of in total 4.3 percent to EUR 4.9 billion (December 31, 2021: EUR 5.1 billion). The largest share of financial liabilities continued to be accounted for by current and non-current liabilities from refinancing, which fell by 3.8 percent to EUR 3.5 billion compared to the end of 2021 (December 31, 2021: EUR 3.7 billion). GRENKE Bank's current and non-current liabilities from the deposit business totalled EUR 1.3 billion, which was close to the level as of December 31, 2021 (EUR 1.4 billion).

As of March 31, 2022, deferred lease payments increased to EUR 132.7 million (December 31, 2021: EUR 58.9 million). This balance sheet item is subject to fluctuation during the year, depending on the timing of direct debit collection.

At EUR 1,284.6 million, equity as at March 31, 2022 was 1.2 percent higher than the previous year's figure (December 31, 2021: EUR 1,269.0 million). The Consolidated Group net profit of EUR 20.5 million generated in the reporting period was partially offset by the interest payment for the hybrid capital (EUR 9.1 million). In contrast, effects from the market valuation of hedging instruments (EUR 2.9 million) and from currency translation (EUR 1.2 million) had a positive impact. Due to the increase in equity and the simultaneous decrease in total assets, the equity ratio rose to 19.7 percent as at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: 19.1 percent). The equity ratio thereby exceeded the Consolidated Group's internal target ratio of a minimum of 16.0 percent.

3.2.2 Liquidity

The GRENKE Group was able to meet its payment obligations at all times in the reporting period based on its high level of cash and cash equivalents along with its broadly diversified refinancing structure.

No bonds, promissory notes or commercial paper were issued by the Grenke Finance PLC subsidiary in the first three months of 2022. More information on the bonds issued is provided in the notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, as well as on the Company's website at https:// www.grenke.com/investor-relations/debt-capital/ issued-bonds/. Bonds in the amount of EUR 310 million and promissory notes in the amount of EUR 20 million, CHF 10 million and BRL 0.7 million were redeemed as scheduled in the reporting period.

The utilisation of the ABCP programmes as of March 31, 2022 amounted to EUR 715.1 million and GBP 117.7 million (December 31, 2021: EUR 554.4 million and GBP 115.8 million). The total volume of these programmes equalled EUR 947.8 million and GBP 150.0 million (December 31, 2021: EUR 947.8 million and GBP 150.0 million).

The Consolidated Group's unutilised credit lines (i.e. bank credit lines plus the available volume of bonds and commercial paper) amounted to EUR 2,947.9 million, PLN 2.5 million and HRK 75.0 million as of the reporting date (December 31, 2021: EUR 2,702.4 million, PLN 2.5 million and HRK 75.0 million).

GRENKE BANK AG's refinancing via customer deposits amounted to EUR 1,331.0 million as of the March 31, 2022 reporting date, compared to EUR 1,065.1 million as of December 31, 2021. This corresponds to an increase of 25.0 percent.

Cash flow from operating activities was

EUR –96.7 million in the first three months of 2022, which was significantly below the previous year's level (Q1 2021: EUR 128.1 million). The decline resulted from a decrease in liabilities from the deposit business of EUR 81.1 million, compared to an increase in the same prior-year quarter (Q1 2021: EUR 99.2 million). The decline also resulted from a lower year-on-year decrease in lease receivables of EUR 31.8 million (Q1 2021: EUR 171.9 million) due to the higher volume of new business in the first quarter of 2022. At the same time, the decrease in liabilities from refinancing of EUR 138.2 million was also lower than in the same prior-year period (EUR 245.2 million).

In the above presentation, cash flow from investments in new business includes investments in new lease receivables. This includes the net acquisition values for the leasing objects and the costs incurred directly with the conclusion of the contract. Due to the higher volume of new business, investments in new lease receivables increased to EUR 510.4 million in the first three months of 2022 (Q1 2021: EUR 374.9 million). These were offset by cash inflows and outflows from the increase in refinancing (EUR 412.6 million, compared to EUR 20.1 million in Q1 2021) and GRENKE Bank's deposit business (EUR –81.1 million, compared to EUR 99.2 million in Q1 2021). In total, net cash flow from investments in new business

increased to EUR –178.9 million (Q1 2021: EUR –255.6 million). Cash flow from existing business, however, fell to EUR 4.2 million (Q1 2021: EUR 308.3 million). This was mainly due to the increase in pay ments to refinancers of EUR 568.9 million (Q1 2021: EUR 288.5 million).

Cash flow from investing activities was EUR –1.2 million in the first three months of 2022 (Q1 2021: EUR –1.7 million). This amount consists largely of payments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of EUR 1.2 million (Q1 2021: EUR 1.9 million).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR –16.3 million in the reporting quarter (Q1 2021: EUR –16.8 million). As in the previous year, the largest item was the interest payment on the hybrid capital, which amounted to EUR 12.9 million (Q1 2021: EUR 13.4 million). The repayment of lease liabilities also resulted in a cash outflow of EUR 3.4 million (Q1 2021: EUR 3.4 million). financial year. 1 7GRENKE GROUP / / QUARTERLY STATEMENT FOR THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2022

As a result, total cash flow in the first three months of 2022 was EUR –114.2 million (Q1 2021: EUR 109.6 million). Cash and cash equivalents fell accordingly to EUR 738.1 million as of March 31, 2022, com pared to EUR 853.0 million at the end of the 2021

5. Report on risks, opportunities and forecasts

5.1 Opportunities and risks

The emergence of the Russian war against Ukraine has changed the opportunity and risk situation presented in the Annual Report 2021 (published on March 17, 2022). In particular, the risk of an economic downturn has increased (for details, please refer to the explanations in Chapters 1.1 and 3.2). A lasting military conflict could also lead to a further aggravation of the existing supply bottlenecks. An impairment in the supply of natural gas and crude oil would burden production in the manufacturing industry in particular. In addition, inflation could continue to rise, which would have a related negative impact on private consumption. The volatility on the capital markets could also increase and result in limited availability of liquid funds in the short term. Nevertheless, GRENKE AG's Board of Directors believes that the Company's comfortable level of liquidity means that it will not need to rely on raising funds on the capital markets in the short term. Moreover, GRENKE does not have its own branches in Russia or in Ukraine and is not financially involved in those regions.

Beyond the risks described above, no other significant changes occurred in the reporting period with respect to opportunities and risks. With regard to the future development of the Consolidated Group, the Company, and its subsidiaries, there are no particular risks associated with the business above and beyond the customary level.

5.2 Macroeconomic and sector environment

In April 2022, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered its 2022 growth forecast for the global economy1 to 3.6 percent (January forecast: 4.4 percent) and to 2.8 percent for the eurozone (January forecast: 3.9 percent). The IMF justified its lower expectations specifically referring to the war in Ukraine and its consequences for energy and commodity prices and, in turn, overall inflation. For Germany, the IMF expects growth of only 2.1 percent in 2022 (January forecast: 3.8 percent). The IMF is also more pessimistic in terms of the other major eurozone economies, reducing its expectations for France to 2.9 percent (January forecast: 3.5 percent) and for Italy to 2.3 percent (January forecast: 3.8 percent).

5.3 Company forecast

Due to the political situation and economic conditions described above, there is currently considerable uncertainty associated with the forecasts for the 2022 financial year.

Based on the new leasing business of EUR 499.2 million and net profit of EUR 20.5 million generated in the first quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors believes that the GRENKE Group is well on its way to achieving its full-year targets. The Board of Directors therefore reaffirms the forecast for business development in 2022 contained in the 2021 Annual Report.

For the 2022 financial year, the Board of Directors continues to expect new leasing business between EUR 2.0 and 2.2 billion. Compared to the previous financial year, this corresponds to an expected growth rate in the range of 20 percent to 33 percent. Starting from the level of new business in the 2021 financial year, the volume of new business is expected to double by the end of the 2024 financial year.

The CM2 margin of new business in the 2022 financial year is expected to be slightly below the previous year (2021: 17.6 percent). This decline is mainly due to refinancing conditions and the usual time lag when adjusting conditions, but also to a renewed increase in the average ticket size. As in previous financial years, the mean acquisition value per lease contract in the 2022 financial year is expected to be above EUR 8,000 but below EUR 10,000.

years 2020 and 2021, which were largely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, is expected to lead to lower interest income from the leasing portfolio in the current 2022 financial year. At the same time, staff costs are expected to be higher year-on-year in the 2022 financial year as a result of the institution-related regulatory measures and the new salary model. The Board of Directors anticipates a mitigating effect from the expected decrease in expenses for risk provision, resulting from the expected continued good payment behaviour of customers in 2022. In conclusion, the Board of Directors expects a net profit in the range of EUR 75 million and EUR 85 million for the 2022 financial year. Compared to the previous year, this corresponds to a stable to slightly higher net profit, due to the fact that the net profit for the 2021 financial year of EUR 95.2 million included extraordinary income of EUR 23.0 million from the sale of the viafintech shares. Accordingly, after deducting the extraordinary profit, the 2021 financial year basis of comparison for the current 2022 financial year would be EUR 72.2 million. Using this 2021 basis of comparison, net profit is also expected to double by the end of the 2024 financial year as a result of scaling the business.

The expectation for the net profit target range in the 2022 financial year is based on the assumption that the loss rate will range from 1.4 percent to 1.7 percent, which is almost within the normal range. This is due to the solid portfolio of lease contracts, the stable level of incoming payments in recent quarters, and the appropriately conservative risk provisioning already recognised in light of the pandemic. Despite the expectation that income from operating business, and particularly interest income, will be below the previous year – especially in the first half of the year due to the lower new business in previous years – and further investments will be necessary, the Board of Directors is aiming for a cost-income ratio of below 52 percent in 2022.

Based on the expected development of the Consolidated Group's net profit, GRENKE expects an equity ratio above 16.0 percent (2021: 19.1 percent).
