Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in first quarter of 2021 further impacted by COVID-19 pandemic - Outlook for 2021 confirmed

• Business development in the first quarter of 2021 in line with expectations
• Further successful digitalisation of the business model
• Outlook 2021: Slight increase in Group contract portfolio, consolidated operating revenue in the range of previous year's figure and EBT in a higher single-digit million euro amount to be expected

Pullach, 19 May 2021 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as a specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has developed in line with expectations in the first quarter of 2021. Business development continued to be affected in particular by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group contract portfolio decreased slightly in the period from the end of December 2020 to the end of March 2021. Consolidated operating revenue showed a significant year-on-year decline. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were very sharply below the prior-year level. The forecast issued in March continues to apply for the 2021 financial year.

Business development
In the first quarter of 2021, Sixt Leasing achieved several milestones in the digitalisation of its business model. Firstly, a new smartphone app for fleet customers was launched, which makes it easier for company car drivers to manage their leasing contract and thus increases efficiency in fleets. In addition, the realignment of the subsidiary autohaus24 as one of the leading online car dealerships for new and used cars in Germany was driven forward and a rebranding of the brand presence was carried out. Moreover, a completely digital ordering process was introduced on sixt-neuwagen.de, enabling private customers to conclude contracts conveniently and securely from home or on the road. Via sixt-neuwagen.de, Sixt Leasing also launched an initial campaign as the starting point for a longer-term cooperation with Vehiculum to market attractive new cars on the Internet.

The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field decreased by 2.3 per cent to 37,800 contracts in the period from the end of December 2020 to the end of March 2021, mainly due to a continued weak new business volume. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field fell by 3.5 per cent to 36,500 contracts. In the Fleet Management business unit, the contract portfolio increased by 0.7 per cent to 53,900 contracts. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) fell slightly by 1.4 per cent to 128,100 contracts.

Consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2021 decreased by 6.3 per cent to EUR 186.7 million compared to the same period in the previous year. This is mainly due to the decline in operating revenue. Operating revenue, which does not include proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 14.5 per cent to EUR 97.7 million. A major impact on the decline in operating revenue was attributable to the third "lockdown" due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which lasted throughout the full first quarter of 2021, in contrast to the prior-year quarter, which was not burdened to the same extent by the COVID-19 pandemic. This third "lockdown" resulted, among other things, in a significantly reduced vehicle usage, causing in particular a decline in usage-related revenues, such as fuel revenues and revenue from individual service products. Moreover, leasing revenue (finance rate) decreased compared to the first quarter of 2020 due to the decline in the contract portfolio of the Leasing business unit. Sales revenue from the sale of leasing returns and marketing of customer vehicles in Fleet Management increased by 4.7 per cent to EUR 89.0 million. Among other things, this increase was due to the fact that fewer vehicles were sold in the prior-year quarter as a result of the extensive restrictions on stationary motor vehicle sales during the first "lockdown" caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased in the first three months of 2021 by 16.1 per cent to EUR 47.2 million compared to the same period in the previous year. As expected, earnings before taxes (EBT) saw a decline of 82.5 per cent to EUR 1.0 million. The operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) consequently amounted to 1.0 per cent (Q1 2020: 4.9 per cent). Consolidated profit decreased by 84.0 per cent to EUR 0.6 million. The lower EBT is in line with expectations and is mainly due to the market and business environment, which was strongly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as it was still burdened by transaction-related costs incurred in connection with the company being taken over by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE).

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The economic environment remains challenging due to the Corona pandemic. Nevertheless, we successfully advanced the digitalisation of our business model in the first quarter. We will continue to consistently implement our strategy and are thus well positioned to meet the continuing high demand for mobility - especially after the lifting of contact restrictions."

Besides the further digitalisation of products, services, and internal processes, Sixt Leasing is planning to introduce a mobility budget in the Fleet Management business unit in the 2021 financial year among other things. This is intended to give fleet customers' employees the option - as an alternative or supplement to the company car - of using means of transport such as bus, rail, bicycle, car sharing or taxi. Another focus will be on diversifying the customer portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field with smaller fleets and especially on service quality.

Outlook
The Managing Board confirms the outlook published on 24 March 2021. Accordingly, it expects a slight increase in the Group contract portfolio compared to the previous year (2020: 129,900 contracts) and consolidated operating revenue in the range of previous year's figure (2020: EUR 423.3 million). With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a higher single-digit million euro amount (2020: EUR 9.1 million).

The reason for the cautious forecast for the full year 2021 is, in addition to the operating business development in the 2021 financial year to date, primarily the ongoing COVID-19 situation. In this respect, the company assumes that the market and business environment will continue to be strongly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and expects a recovery in business development in the second half of 2021 at the earliest. In addition, consolidated earnings will also be burdened in the 2021 financial year by transaction-related costs in connection with the takeover of the company by HCBE.

Pullach, 28 April 2021 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as a specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has published its Annual Report 2020. Accordingly, there were no deviations from the preliminary annual figures which had already been published in March 2021. The business development in 2020 is in line with the expectations adjusted in July and October 2020. The forecast issued in March continues to apply for the 2021 financial year.

Business development
In 2020, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 4.6 per cent to 129,900 contracts compared to the previous year. Consolidated revenue fell by 9.3 per cent to EUR 747.7 million. Consolidated operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 9.6 per cent to EUR 423.3 million. Sales revenues for lease returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management decreased by 8.9 per cent to EUR 324.4 million.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 9.1 per cent to EUR 211.4 million. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) fell by 68.9 per cent to EUR 9.1 million due to various special effects. As a result, the operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) was 2.2 per cent (2019: 6.3 per cent). Consolidated profit decreased by 89.9 per cent to EUR 2.2 million. Adjusted for one-off and extraordinary effects from the takeover of the company by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH as well as the increased risk provisioning in connection with vehicle residual values, EBT ("adjusted EBT") amounted to EUR 20.8 million.

Dividend proposal
The Managing Board of Sixt Leasing SE is considering proposing a dividend of EUR 0.02 per share for the 2020 financial year to the Annual General Meeting on June 29, 2021, taking into account the restrictions and challenges of the ongoing COVID-19 situation. The exact dividend proposal is subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board and will be published with the agenda for the 2021 Annual General Meeting, taking into account any expectations of the supervisory authorities in this respect. The dividend proposal of the Managing Board corresponds to a pay-out ratio of just under 20 per cent of consolidated net profit in the 2020 financial year. The previously communicated target range of 30 to 60 per cent remains unchanged regardless of the pay-out ratio for the last financial year.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In 2021, we want to continue to successfully drive forward the digitalisation of our products, services and internal processes. In addition, we plan to introduce a mobility budget for fleet customers and expand our business model to include used car leasing. Another focus will be on the acquisition of smaller fleet customers and especially on service quality."

In the first quarter of 2021, Sixt Leasing achieved three further milestones in the implementation of its strategy with the launch of a new fleet customer app, the rebranding and reorientation of its autohaus24 subsidiary and the introduction of a completely digital ordering process for private customers on sixt-neuwagen.de. In addition, Sixt Leasing has launched a long-term cooperation with Vehiculum via sixt-neuwagen.de to market attractive new cars on the Internet.

Outlook
The Managing Board confirms the forecast published on March 24, 2021. Accordingly, it expects a slight increase in the Group contract portfolio for the current 2021 financial year compared to the previous year (2020: 129,900 contracts) and consolidated operating revenue in the range of previous year's figure (2020: EUR 423.3 million). With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a higher single-digit million euro amount (2020: EUR 9.1 million).

The reason for the cautious forecast for the full year 2021 is, in addition to the operating business development in the 2021 financial year to date, primarily the ongoing COVID-19 situation. In this respect, the company assumes that the market and business environment will continue to be strongly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and expects a recovery in business development in the second half of 2021 at the earliest.

In addition, consolidated earnings will also be burdened in the 2021 financial year by transaction-related costs in connection with the takeover of the company by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH.

In this context, EBT for the first quarter of 2021 is expected to decline very sharply compared to the corresponding period of the previous year (Q1 2020: EUR 5.6 million) according to the Managing Board's estimates.

The complete forecast for the 2021 financial year is included in the Annual Report 2020 of Sixt Leasing SE. This can be accessed at http://ir.sixt-leasing.com/annual-reports.

Sixt Leasing introduces digital ordering process on sixt-neuwagen.de

Pullach, 19 April 2021 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as a specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has launched a completely digital ordering process on sixt-neuwagen.de. This allows private customers to order their dream car easily and conveniently online and from home. Further information on the ordering process is available at https://www.sixt-neuwagen.de/fragen-antworten/bestellprozess.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: 'Our digital ordering process on sixt-neuwagen.de is fast, convenient and secure. Identification is done with the help of our partner IDnow. This means that our customers no longer have to go to the nearest post office to do this. And our online procedure also eliminates the need to print out application documents.

The digital ordering process has already proven itself in a similar form as part of last year's special promotion with PAYBACK, in which the Kia Stonic 'VISION' was marketed. Now private customers can use the process on sixt-neuwagen.de on a permanent basis.

On sixt-neuwagen.de, customers have the option of configuring their new car individually or ordering an already available stock car. They can choose vehicles from around 35 brands and benefit from particularly favourable prices and optional service products.

Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in 2020 in line with expectations - Forecast for 2021 published

• Further milestones achieved in the digitalisation of products, services and internal processes
• Group contract portfolio and consolidated operating revenue impacted in particular by COVID-19 pandemic
• Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) burdened in particular by increased risk provisioning and transaction-related costs
• Outlook: Slight increase in Group contract portfolio, consolidated operating revenue in the range of previous year's figure and EBT in a higher single-digit million euro amount to be expected in 2021

Pullach, 24 March 2021 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as a specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, developed overall in line with expectations in the 2020 financial year. Business performance was particularly affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall economic situation. According to preliminary calculations, the Group's contract portfolio and consolidated operating revenue declined compared to the previous year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were very significantly below the previous year's level.

Business development
In the 2020 financial year, the expansion of the digital product and service portfolio in particular was further advanced. In the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing launched a sales cooperation with PAYBACK via its online platform sixt-neuwagen.de to market a Kia Stonic "VISION" to private customers. In addition, autohaus24.de was honored with the consumer award "Germany's Best Online Portals 2020" in the category "New Car Portals" from the news channel n-tv and the German Institute for Service Quality, and received the rating "High Recommendation" in the category "Car Leasing: Online Providers" in the FOCUS-MONEY study "Recommended by Customers".

In the Fleet Management business unit, the smartphone app "The Companion" for fleet customers was further developed and, among other things, upgraded with the digital payment function "Shell Payment@Pump". In the Fleet Leasing business field, Sixt Leasing digitised vehicle handover and return at its locations. In addition, the company was again voted best leasing provider by the readers of AUTO BILD after 2018 and received the "Company Car Award".

The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field fell by 12.8 per cent to 38,600 contracts in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of December 2020, particularly burdened by a reduced number of new orders due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as further vehicle returns from the 1&1 campaign conducted in the 2017 financial year. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field declined by 6.6 per cent to 37,800 contracts, which was also due in particular to the pandemic. In the Fleet Management business unit, the contract portfolio increased by 3.9 per cent to 53,500 contracts. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) thus decreased by 4.6 per cent to 129,900 contracts.

Consolidated revenue fell by 9.3 per cent year-on-year to EUR 747.7 million in the 2020 financial year. Consolidated operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased by 9.6 per cent to EUR 423.3 million. This is mainly due to the significantly reduced vehicle utilisation as a result of the COVID-19-related contact restrictions and the associated decline in utilisation-related revenues. Sales revenues for lease returns and marketed customer vehicles in Fleet Management decreased by 8.9 per cent to EUR 324.4 million. This decline resulted on the one hand from the very strong first quarter of the previous year with a very high number of lease returns sold in the Online Retail business field and on the other hand from the restrictions on stationary motor vehicle sales, particularly during the first half of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 9.1 per cent to EUR 211.4 million in 2020. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) fell by 68.9 per cent to EUR 9.1 million due to various special effects. As a result, the operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) was 2.2 per cent (2019: 6.3 per cent). Consolidated profit decreased by 89.9 per cent to EUR 2.2 million compared to the same period in the previous year.

The lower EBT is in line with the adjusted expectations of 20 July 2020 and is due, among other things, to the volume effect in the marketing area described above, temporary sales support measures as well as increased marketing expenses at the beginning of the year. Furthermore, EBT was burdened by transaction-related costs in connection with the takeover of Sixt Leasing SE by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) as well as additional risk provisioning requirements for residual values amounting to a mid single-digit million euro figure. EBT adjusted for one-off and extraordinary effects from the takeover as well as risk provisioning amounted to EUR 20.8 million in the 2020 financial year.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The digitalisation of our products, services and internal processes continues to progress. With the launch of our fleet customer app, the rebranding and realignment of our subsidiary autohaus24 and the introduction of a completely digital ordering process for private customers on sixt-neuwagen.de, we reached three further milestones in the implementation of our strategy in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, we have launched a long-term cooperation with Lidl and Vehiculum to market attractive new cars on the Internet."

Besides the further digitalisation of new car sales in the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing is also planning to introduce a mobility budget in the Fleet Management business unit in the 2021 financial year. This is intended to give fleet customers' employees the option - as an alternative or supplement to the company car - of using means of transport such as bus, rail, bicycle, car sharing or taxi. Another focus will be on diversifying the customer portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field with smaller fleets and especially on service quality. In addition, the business model is to be expanded to include used car leasing.

Outlook
For the current financial year 2021, the Managing Board expects a slight increase in the Group contract portfolio compared to the previous year (2020: 129,900 contracts) and consolidated operating revenue in the range of previous year's figure (2020: EUR 423.3 million). With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a higher single-digit million euro amount (2020: EUR 9.1 million).

The reason for the cautious forecast for the full year 2021 is, in addition to the operating business development in the 2021 financial year to date, primarily the ongoing COVID-19 situation. In this respect, the company assumes that the market and business environment will continue to be strongly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and expects a recovery in business development in the second half of 2021 at the earliest.

This assessment assumes that the current measures to combat the Corona pandemic will take effect in the further course of the year. These include in particular the vaccination campaign launched at the end of 2020, which of course depends significantly on the availability of suitable vaccines, and the increasing availability of rapid tests. In addition, the assessment assumes that the exit strategies from crisis mode currently being worked out by the governments at federal and state level will be successful and that the economy will pick up again from the second half of the year. Furthermore, the company assumes that the extensive financial support measures currently adopted or still to be adopted by the federal and state governments will cushion the economically negative effects on the national economies.

In addition, consolidated earnings will also be burdened in the 2021 financial year by transaction-related costs in connection with the takeover of the company by HCBE.

In this context, EBT for the first quarter of 2021 is expected to decline very sharply compared to the corresponding period of the previous year (Q1 2020: EUR 5.6 million) according to the Managing Board's estimates. This assessment takes into account the internal accounting status including February 2021 and the expected development in the current March.

Sixt Leasing SE digitalises vehicle handover and return process

• More efficiency and transparency
• Recording and logging of all steps via smartphone app
• Roll-out initially at the locations in Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich

Pullach, 23 February 2021 - Sixt Leasing SE, a leading provider in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, is optimizing vehicle handover and return at its locations in Frankfurt-Egelsbach, Berlin-Adlershof and Munich-Eching. From now on, all logistics processes will be recorded digitally in the already launched SML software solution (Service Module Logistics): from the delivery of the new leased vehicle by truck and the handover to the corporate or private customer to the return and collection by the freight forwarder.

In the future, on-site employees will use a new smartphone app for this purpose, which they can use to determine the passages of risk as well as the exact equipment and condition of the vehicle. In the process, they create standardized, comprehensive photo logs. Thus, any transport damage can be recorded as soon as the new vehicle is delivered. The handover or return protocol is also signed using the app: customers simply sign on the smartphone of the employee responsible and receive the signed document by e-mail just a few minutes later.

All recorded data is transmitted automatically and in real time from the app (front-end) to Sixt Leasing's back-end system - and therefore does not need to be entered manually. This saves employees and customers even more time.

Josef Finauer, Managing Director Maintenance & Damage of Sixt Leasing SE: "Thanks to the digital recording of logistics processes, vehicle handover and return at our locations in Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich is now even more efficient and transparent. This benefits not only us as lessor, but also our customers in particular. The photo logs created with the smartphone build additional trust."

The new app was developed for Android devices in cooperation with the Hüsges Group. It can be used flexibly and is suitable for vehicle handover and return at any location. Sixt Leasing's goal is to roll out the app at the more than 30 Sixt SE stations where Sixt Leasing customers can pick up or return vehicles.

Tobias Gawor, Director Logistics of Sixt Leasing SE: "The app-based vehicle handover is an important, further step in the consistent digitalisation and automation of our processes. In addition to the positive customer experience, I am particularly pleased for our employees at the stations that we can now provide them with an intuitive and very advanced tool. And our back office and logistics partners will also benefit from the faster and automated availability of all relevant information. As a result, we now no longer use paper at all in our standard processes. We will also be scaling up and expanding the use of the app for vehicle handovers at our dealerships and doorstep deliveries over the course of the year."

Peter Damme, Senior Manager Product Management of Sixt Leasing SE: "With the SML, we were able to build a cloud software platform with which we can quickly develop new logistics processes and have the option of digitally connecting our internal contract software as well as external service providers. We have already achieved this with great success in the deregistration process. The next feature is already in preparation and will follow shortly as an SML update. This will enable us to optimize further processes."
