Group Quarterly
Statement
Q1 2024
1. Business report
1.1 Change in revenue recognition with regard to full services and vehicle brokerage
Since 31 December 2023, the components "Fuel", "Vehicle tax and radio licence fees" and "Replacement vehicles" in the Leasing business unit and the components "Fuel", "Claims management", "Maintenance and wear and tear", "Tyres", "Vehicle tax and radio licence fees", "Replacement vehicles" and "Logistics" in the Fleet Management business unit, which were previously recognized as principal (gross basis) in the income statement, have been recognized as agent (net basis). In addition, brokerage income in the Fleet Management segment, which was recognized as principal (gross basis) in the previous year, has been recognized as agent (net basis) since 31 December 2023.
The previous year's figures for operating revenue, brokerage income and expenses for vehicle fleets and leased assets have been adjusted in this quarterly statement from revenue recognition as principal (gross basis) to revenue recognition as agent (net basis).
The adjusted prior-year figures were marked separately in the quarterly statement as at 31 March 2024 (*).
For further information, please refer to item 3.1 Income statement in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the 2023 annual report published on 30 April 2024.
1.2 Group business performance
The Group contract portfolio in Germany and abroad amounted to 125,100 contracts as at 31 March 2024, down 0.6% on the figure as at 31 December 2023 (125,800 contracts).
In the first three months of 2024, Group sales increased by 16.0% to EUR 175.5 million compared to the same period of the previous year (Q1 2023: EUR 151.3 million*). Consolidated operating revenue, which die does not include revenue from vehicle sales, increased by 32.4% to EUR 103.8 million (Q1 2023: EUR 78.4 million*). This development is due to the increase in leasing income (finance rate) - particularly in the Retail Leasing segment. Sales revenue from the sale of lease returns and the brokerage and marketing of customerfrom Fleet Management fell by 1.6% to EUR 71.7 million (Q1 2023: EUR 72.9 million*). This was mainly due to a decline in sales prices.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased by 40.9% to EUR 70.7 million in the first three months compared to the same period of the previous year (Q1 2023: EUR 50.2 million). Earnings before taxes (EBT) decreased to EUR -4.8 million in the same period (Q1 2023: EUR 4.4 million). As a result, the operating return on sales (EBT/operating sales) amounted to -4.6% (Q1 2023: 5.7%*).
The decline in EBT in the first three months of 2024 is due to an increase in expenses for depreciation of leased assets. This negative effect is mainly the result of a high security provision for residual value risks of leased assets, which was recognized in the first quarter. Higher refinancing interest rates also had a negative impact on EBT.

Earnings before taxes (EBT) in the Leasing business unit were impacted both by increased depreciation on leased assets due to the risk provision for residual value risks of leased assets recognized in the first quarter and by an increase in refinancing costs as a result of higher interest expenses.
1.4 Fleet Management business unit
At 47,600 contracts, the number of contracts in the Fleet Management business unit at the end of the first quarter of 2024 was 1.9% below the previous year's figure (31 December 2023: 48,500). This decline is mainly due to expired and non-renewed fleet management contracts.

1.5 Financial position
Equity development
The equity of the Allane Mobility Group amounted to EUR 234.5 million as at 31 March 2024. This corresponds to a decrease of EUR
3.7 million or 1.5% compared to the previous year (31 December 2023: EUR 238.2 million). The equity ratio fell by 1.3 percentage points to 13.0% (31 December 2023: 14.2%) The increase in total assets is primarily the result of an increase in leased assets compared to 31 December 2023, which is mainly financed by borrowed capital.
Group Quarterly Statement as of 31 March 2024 | page 2 |
Development of debt capital
As at 31 March 2024, the Allane Mobility Group reported non-current liabilities and provisions of EUR 1,151.5 million (31 December 2023: EUR 993.5 million; +15.9%). The increase of EUR 158.0 million resulted in particular from an increase in non-current financial liabilities of EUR 157.4 million to EUR 1,078.1 million (31 December 2023: EUR 920.7 million; +17.1%).This was mainly due to the raising of EUR 128.1 million as part of the asset-backed securities program ("ABS program") and the raising of a long-term loan from Santander Consumer Bank AG in the amount of EUR 30.0 million.
Current liabilities and provisions amounted to EUR 419.2 million as at 31 March 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 441.6 million). The decrease of EUR 22.3 million or 5.1% was due in particular to the decline in current from the decrease in current financial liabilities, which fell by 26,8 million euros to 229,4 million euros (31 December 2023: 256,2 million euros). This is mainly due to the repayment of loans to third parties. In addition, trade payables decreased by 2.1 million euros or 1.8% to 114.2 million euros (31 December 2023:
116.3 million euros). In contrast, other liabilities increased by 1.5 million euros to 41.9 million euros (31 December 2023: 40.4 million euros).
1.6 Investments
In the first three months of 2024, the Allane Mobility Group contributed vehicles with a total value of 263.9 million EUR (Q1 2023: 116,5 million euros; +126,4 %). This is mainly due to a sharp increase in the order volume compared to the same quarter of the previous year as a result of new partnerships in the Captive Leasing business unit.
2. Events subsequent to the reporting date
No events of particular significance for the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group and the company occurred after the end of the first quarter of the 2024 financial year.
3. Special events
With regard to macroeconomic developments and the negative impact of high interest rates and residual value risk, please refer to the risk report in the management report of the 2023 annual report, which was published on 30 April 2024. However, it should be noted that it is still virtually impossible to reliably estimate the full and lasting economic impact on future development and that estimates and discretionary decisions are therefore still subject to increased uncertainty.
4. Report on outlook
The Managing Board confirms the forecast for the 2024 financial year published on 30 April 2024 and accordingly expects a contract portfolio in the range of 130,000 to 150,000 contracts (2023: 125,800 contracts) and consolidated operating sales of EUR 350 to 400 million (2023: EUR 342.7 million*). The Managing Board expects EBT to be in the high single-digit million euro range (2023: EUR 12.6 million).
This forecast is based on the expectation that the number of new registrations will increase slightly in 2024 and that the inflation rate will decrease. In addition, the above-mentioned financial targets also take into account current interest rate trends. In the event of significant fluctuations in interest rates, the Allane Mobility Group plans to adjust the offer prices in order to ensure the attractiveness and competitiveness of the offers and thus also the profitability of the company in the long term. Overall, the 2024 financial year will also be subject to major uncertainties. The potential residual value risks could continue to have a negative impact on the 2024 financial year. In addition, the weak overall economy is causing uncertainty on the demand side for passenger cars.
The Allane Mobility Group assumes that the market will continue to be negatively impacted by the factors mentioned above. However, the company expects new contracts to develop positively as a result of additional collaborations in the Leasing business unit, particularly in the Captive Leasing business pillar.
