Sixt Leasing SE: Operating business development in the first nine months of 2020 in line with expectations

• Further expansion of the digital product and service portfolio
• Group contract portfolio with a slight decline in the first three quarters of 2020 - Increase of nearly four per cent compared to 30 September 2019
• Consolidated operating revenue particularly impacted by COVID-19 pandemic
• Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) mainly burdened by increased risk provisioning and transaction-related costs
• Managing Board confirms reduced forecast for 2020

Pullach, 11 November 2020 - 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, has overall developed in line with expectations in the first nine months of 2020 based on the earnings forecast published on 21 October 2020. With a slight decrease in the Group's contract portfolio in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of September 2020, consolidated operating revenue also declined year-on-year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were very significantly below the previous year's level. In the third quarter, the business development was particularly affected by the weaker-than-expected recovery of the overall economic situation. The Managing Board confirms the reduced forecast for 2020.

Business development in 9M 2020
In the first nine months of 2020, 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". Furthermore, two proven industry experts, Mr. Christian Braumiller and Mr. Michael Poglitsch, were won as new Managing Directors of Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH. In the Fleet Leasing business field, Sixt Leasing expanded its cooperation with BSH Hausgeräte GmbH in the field of e-mobility.

The contract portfolio in Online Retail fell by 9.9 per cent to 40,000 contracts in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of September 2020, particularly burdened by a reduced number of new orders due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and further vehicle returns from the 1&1 campaign conducted in the 2017 financial year. The contract portfolio in Fleet Leasing declined by 3.7 per cent to 38,900 contracts. In both business fields, business performance during the third quarter did not improve as planned, which is due in particular to the weaker-than-expected recovery in the overall economic situation as well as the ongoing COVID-19 situation. In Fleet Management, the contract portfolio increased by 3.0 per cent to 53,000 contracts in the first nine months of 2020.

Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 3.2 per cent to 131,900 contracts in the period from the end of December to the end of September. Compared to 30 September 2019, the Group contract portfolio recorded an increase of 3.7 per cent.

Consolidated revenue in the first three quarters of 2020 decreased by 10.7 per cent to EUR 565.3 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Operating revenue, which does not include the proceeds from vehicle sales, decreased in the same period by 8.6 per cent to EUR 319.9 million. The "lockdown" in the second quarter of 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the decline in operating revenue, which led, among other things, to a significant reduction in vehicle usage and thus to a drop in usage-related revenue, such as income from fuel revenues. Furthermore in the third quarter of 2020, after the lockdown in the second quarter of 2020, the increase in vehicle usage in particluar did not occur as expected. Sales revenue from the sale of leasing returns and marketing of customer vehicles in Fleet Management declined in the first three quarters by 13.3 per cent to EUR 245.4 million. This decrease was due to a very strong first quarter of the previous year, with very high sales of leasing returns in the Online Retail business field, as well as restrictions on stationary car sales resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic during the first half of 2020.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased in first three quarters of 2020 by 7.6 per cent to EUR 158.6 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) saw a decline of 76.0 per cent to EUR 5.2 million due to various special effects. The operating return on revenue (EBT/operating revenue) thus amounted to 1.6 per cent (9M 2019: 6.2 per cent). Consolidated profit decreased by 78.7 per cent to EUR 3.4 million compared to the same period in the previous year.

The lower EBT is in line with the adjusted expectations from 20 July 2020 and results, among others, from the general volume effect in sale of lease returns described above, temporary sales support measures, higher marketing expenses at the beginning of the year, transaction-related costs in connection with the closing of the voluntary public takeover offer of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) in July 2020 as well as a need for additional risk provisioning in the mid single-digit million euro range as part of the regular review of the residual values of the leasing fleet in the first half of 2020. EBT adjusted for one-time and extraordinary effects amounted to EUR 15.1 million in the first three quarters of 2020.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The challenging economic conditions do not prevent us from continuing to implement our strategy consistently and, in particular, from pushing ahead with the digitization of our product and service portfolio. Our new major shareholder, Hyundai Capital Bank Europe, will support us in this."

In November, Sixt Leasing SE participates in Germany's largest discount campaign with its "Black Leasing Friday", offering private and corporate customers popular new vehicles at especially attractive rates on its online platform sixt-neuwagen.de. Besides, the company plans the introduction of a completely digital order process on sixt-neuwagen.de starting from the 2021 financial year. Beyond that, the business model of Sixt Leasing SE will be extended by used car leasing.

Outlook
As the Managing Board of Sixt Leasing SE announced in its ad-hoc release on 21 October 2020, the expectation for the 2020 financial year - as communicated on 20 March 2020 - presuming a slight year-on-year increase in the Group's contract portfolio and of consolidated operating revenue at approximately the same level as in the previous year can probably not be realized. This is due to a weaker-than-expected business development in the third quarter of 2020 and the prospect of a continuing or even worsening COVID-19 situation in the fourth quarter of 2020. For the current financial year, the Managing Board expects that both the Group contract portfolio and its consolidated operating revenue will probably be significantly below the corresponding figures of last year.

In addition, the Managing Board confirms its earnings forecast, as adjusted on 20 July 2020, that the originally communicated earnings forecast for the 2020 financial year cannot be realized as expected. This is mainly due to the effects of additional risk provisioning and one-off transaction-related costs, which are already incurred in earnings, and other transaction-related costs to be recognized in the fourth quarter.

The Managing Board of Sixt Leasing SE is of the opinion that the strategic partnership with the new major shareholder, HCBE, puts the Sixt Leasing Group in a position to utilise new growth potential together in the future. Furthermore, the Managing Board hopes that the integration of Sixt Leasing into the two international and financially strong Groups of Santander and Hyundai also offers the opportunity to further optimise the company's financing structure.

Sixt Leasing SE: autohaus24 GmbH appoints Werner König as Co-Managing Director

Pullach, 5 October 2020 - autohaus24 GmbH, one of the leading online new car brokers in Germany and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sixt Leasing SE, has appointed Werner König as Managing Director. He replaces Mr. Michael Ruhl, who continues to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Sixt leasing SE. Mr. König shares the management of autohaus24 with Mr. Josef Finauer, who has held this position since April 2020.

Mr. König has been Head of Remarketing at Sixt Leasing for about five and a half years and will continue this operation in addition to his new tasks at autohaus24. Moreover, he was Managing Director of Sixt Car Sales GmbH from early 2015 to mid 2020. Previously, he successfully held several senior management positions in the automotive sector.

In his function as Managing Director of autohaus24 GmbH, Mr. König is responsible for the offline business with the former Sixt Car Sales locations for used cars in Berlin, Eching and Frankfurt. These had been sold to Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) as part of the 92% takeover of Sixt Leasing SE by HCBE and are to be rebranded to the autohaus24 brand in early 2021. At the same time, Mr. Finauer will concentrate on the online business of autohaus24.de.

Since April 2020, Mr. Finauer has also been Managing Director of SXT Leasing Dienstleistungen GmbH & Co. KG and represents the business areas Productmanagement, Maintenance and Damage within Sixt Leasing SE. Previously he was, among other things, Service Manager at MAHAG Group (Volkswagen Group Retail Germany).

A joint focus of Mr. König and Mr. Finauer will be the rebranding of the autohaus24 brand with a new logo, new website and new brand strategy. In addition, the product portfolio will be expanded.

Josef Finauer, Managing Director of autohaus24 GmbH: 'I would like to thank Michael Ruhl for the successful collaboration and I am pleased to have a proven expert at my side with Werner König once again. Our goal is to develop autohaus24 into a digital car dealership for new and used cars and, in future, service products. We will offer these both online and offline at our locations.'

Werner König, Managing Director of autohaus24 GmbH: 'I am looking forward to taking autohaus24 to the next level together with Josef Finauer. Our extensive experience in the industry provides a good basis for a successful strategic reorientation with a strong online and offline business.'

Sixt Leasing SE: Operating business development in the first half of 2020 in line with expectations

• Group contract portfolio in the first six months of 2020 almost stable - Significant increase compared to 30 June 2019
• Consolidated operating revenue impacted by COVID-19 pandemic, as expected
• Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) in particular burdened by increased risk provisioning and transaction-related costs
• Managing Board continues to expect business development to recover in the second half of the year

Pullach, 12 August 2020 - 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, has developed, based on the earnings forecast reduced on 20 July 2020, overall in line with expectations in the first half of 2020. The Group's contract portfolio remained almost stable in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of June 2020. Consolidated operating revenue declined year-on-year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were very significantly below the previous year's level and were burdened in particular by the increase in risk provisions in connection with the residual values of the leasing fleet and by transaction-related costs. The Managing Board continues to expect business development to recover in the second half of the year.

Business development in H1 2020
In the first half of 2020, 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 Recommended" 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". Furthermore, two proven industry experts, Mr. Christian Braumiller and Mr. Michael Poglitsch, could be gained as new Managing Directors of Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH. In the Fleet Leasing business field, Sixt Leasing expanded its cooperation with BSH Hausgeräte GmbH in the field of e-mobility.

The contract portfolio in Online Retail fell by 5.7 per cent to 41,800 contracts in the period from the end of December to the end of June, particularly burdened by lower 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 Fleet Leasing declined by 2.4 per cent to 39,500 contracts. Fleet Management recorded growth of 4.0 per cent to 53,500 contracts.

Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased slightly by 1.0 per cent to 134,800 contracts in the period from the end of December to the end of June. The decline from the end of March to the end of June (-0.4 per cent) was slightly lower than in the first three months (-0.7 per cent). Compared to the end of the first half of 2019, the Group contract portfolio recorded a significant growth of 6.8 per cent at the end of the first half of 2020. The main reason for this was the acquisition of Flottenmeister GmbH in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Consolidated revenue in the first half of 2020 fell by 13.5 per cent year-on-year to EUR 370.3 million. This is mainly due to the decline in vehicle sales revenues in the Leasing business unit, which comprises the business fields Online Retail and Fleet Leasing. On the other hand, sales revenues in the Fleet Management business unit increased significantly. Overall, sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management fell by 20.1 per cent to EUR 156.2 million. This decline is in particular due to the very strong first quarter of the previous year, with a very high number of leasing returns sold in the Online Retail business field, and to the restrictions imposed on stationary motor vehicle trading due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) decreased by 7.9 per cent to EUR 214.1 million. The "lockdown" caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the decline in this regard. Among other things, this led to a significant reduction in vehicle use, which in particular caused a decline in use-related revenues, such as fuel revenues, for example.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell in the first six months of 2020 by 7.2 per cent to EUR 106.7 million compared to the same period last year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) recorded a decline of 79.7 per cent to EUR 2.9 million. This was mainly due to the increased risk provisions in a mid single-digit million euro range and to burdens from one-off transaction-related costs in a low to medium single-digit million euro range, which were incurred in connection with the completion of the voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) in July 2020 and which had in part already to be considered in the accounting in the first half of 2020. Adjusted for these two one-off and extraordinary non-operating effects, the correspondingly adjusted earnings before taxes in the first half of 2020 amounted to EUR 11.2 million. Furthermore, the lower EBT is in particular due to the volume effect in vehicle sales described above, and increased marketing expenses at the beginning of the year. The operating return on revenue in the first six months of 2020 thus amounted to 1.3 per cent (-4.7 percentage points). Consolidated profit decreased by 83.2 per cent to EUR 1.7 million.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "Our Group contract portfolio remained almost stable in the first half of 2020 despite the corona pandemic. We are confident that the market environment will continue to ease in the second half of the year. Our new major shareholder will support us in continuing to successfully implement our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy program."

Growth prospects with new major shareholder
According to the last publication under capital market law, HCBE holds just over 92 per cent of the ordinary shares and voting rights of Sixt Leasing SE since the completion of the voluntary public takeover offer. The strategic partnership with the new major shareholder enables Sixt Leasing to jointly exploit new growth opportunities. The integration of Sixt Leasing into the group of the two international and financially strong groups Santander and Hyundai also offers the opportunity to further optimise the Company's financing structure.

Outlook
For the 2020 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect a slight increase in the Group's contract portfolio and consolidated operating revenue to be approximately on the previous year's level. However, in accordance with the reduced earnings forecast issued on 20 July 2020, the Managing Board assumes that the earnings forecast published on 20 March 2020 cannot be realised in regard to EBT and that the 2020 annual result will also be burdened by further one-off transaction-related costs in the second half of 2020 to the expected extent. The one-off transaction-related costs in the first half of 2020 are included in the reduced earnings forecast.

The assumptions and uncertainties pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic described in the Risk and Opportunities Report of the Half-Yearly Financial Report 2020 also apply to the forecast. This includes in particular the assumption that business development will recover in the second half of the year.

Christoph Braumiller and Michael Poglitsch take over the management of Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH as of June 2020

Pullach, 26 June 2020 - Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH, one of the leading independent providers of fleet management in Europe and wholly owned subsidiary of Sixt Leasing SE, has gained two proven industry experts, Mr. Christoph Braumiller and Mr. Michael Poglitsch, as new Managing Directors.

Mr. Braumiller has more than 30 years of experience in the fleet business. Since 2015, he has been Managing Director of Flottenmeister GmbH, which has been part of the Sixt Mobility Consulting Group since October 2019. Prior to this, Mr. Braumiller worked for other well-known fleet management and leasing companies, for example from 1987 to 2007 at ASL (formerly Auto Service Leasing) and in 2007 as one of the co-founders and shareholders of Hannover Leasing Automotive GmbH. In future, Mr. Braumiller will play a decisive role in the processing of operational services and will thus be responsible, together with his colleague, for the quality of the services offered.

As second Managing Director and equal partner, Mr. Michael Poglitsch will take care of the issues Sales & Internationalisation. With him, SMC has gained a successful management personality. Mr. Poglitsch has been part of the Sixt Group for 20 years and, among other things, has made a significant contribution to the national and international sales success of Sixt SE as Senior Director Global Accounts. In addition to his sales expertise, Mr. Poglitsch has an excellent network at home and abroad, which he has been able to build up over the last years and which will be very useful for SMC.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "We are convinced that with Mr. Braumiller and Mr. Poglitsch at the head of Sixt Mobility Consulting, we will be able to successfully continue and further expand the course set by the previous Managing Director Christoph von Tschirschnitz with regard to digitalisation, growth and internationalisation. The individual consultation, the custom-fit solutions and the high service quality will of course be maintained."

Mr. von Tschirschnitz had taken over the management of Sixt Mobility Consulting in October 2018 with the task of driving forward the internationalisation and expansion of the business to other European countries and the further digitalisation of the business model. Mr. von Tschirschnitz and his European teams have successfully and rapidly implemented these goals. The company has now undergone an entrepreneurial realignment and is operating for customers in five European countries. The company's business model is now largely digitalised right down to the end customer. A core element of the digitalisation offensive - the powerful app "The Companion" for fleet management and corporate mobility in the European markets developed under his leadership - has been very well received by customers within a short period of time.

Mr. von Tschirschnitz's management contract would have expired in the next few months, and the Managing Board of Sixt Leasing SE and Mr. von Tschirschnitz have agreed amicably and by mutual consent to terminate the management contract at the end of May 2020 after the achievement of significant milestones, so that the restructuring of the Group and its integration into the future Group structure of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH can be arranged with managers available on a longer-term basis after the transaction has been completed.

Michael Ruhl: "We would like to thank Mr. von Tschirschnitz for the successful corporate reorientation of Sixt Mobility Consulting, the achieved international expansion and the digitalisation of our business model."

Sixt Leasing SE: Annual General Meeting approves dividend of EUR 0.90 for 2019 financial year

• Virtual Annual General Meeting adopts all proposals of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board on the agenda by a large majority
• Managing Board explains growth opportunities, particularly in the context of the strategic partnership with the new major shareholder

Pullach, 24 June 2020 - 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, held a successful virtual Annual General Meeting yesterday in Pullach. Approximately 53 per cent of the share capital was represented altogether. The shareholders adopted all the proposals from the Supervisory Board and the Managing Board by a large majority. The items on the agenda included, among other things, the appropriation of distributable profits and the supplementary election of the Supervisory Board.

Attractive dividend resolved
The shareholders approved the proposal to distribute a significantly increased dividend of EUR 0.90 per share for the 2019 financial year (previous year: EUR 0.48). Based on the year-end price for 2019, this corresponds to a dividend yield of around 8 per cent (previous year: 4.2 per cent).

The dividend is thus in line with shareholders' expectations in connection with the sale of Sixt SE's stake in the company and the accompanying voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE).

Supplementary election to the Supervisory Board
The shareholders also approved the proposal to elect Dr. Julian zu Putlitz, member of the Management and Chief Financial Officer of IFCO MANAGEMENT GmbH based in Pullach, as a member of the Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE to succeed Dr. Bernd Metzner. The election was effective as of the end of this year's Annual General Meeting and for the remaining term of office of the retired Supervisory Board member. Dr. Metzner had resigned his office as a member of the Company's Supervisory Board with effect from 18 July 2019.

Future growth plans
Under the title "New Growth Opportunities", Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE, explained the Company's future prospects to the shareholders, especially with regard to the partnership with the new major shareholder HCBE. Accordingly, the future alliance will enable Sixt Leasing to successfully continue its current growth strategy and to exploit further growth potential. In the 2020 financial year, the focus will be on the further expansion of digitalisation and the internationalisation of the business model.

In addition, the CEO addressed the effects of the current COVID-19 situation on the business development of Sixt Leasing. The Managing Board expects that the second quarter will be the quarter most affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in terms of earnings, throughout the 2020 financial year. Furthermore, the burden on earnings from transaction-related costs will also increase. However, the easing of the COVID-19 regulations adopted in recent weeks makes the Managing Board confident that the business development will recover in the second half of 2020 as it expects.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "As part of our growth strategy, we will, among other things, expand our range of products and services with further innovative digital offerings and drive forward the internationalisation of the organisation. Together with the support of our new major shareholder HCBE, we are thus ideally placed to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe."

Sixt Leasing SE: Final acceptance rate for voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH at more than 92 per cent

Pullach, 26 May 2020 - Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE), a joint venture of Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc., has today announced the final result of its voluntary public takeover offer to the shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE: Taking into account the stake of Sixt SE, the acceptance rate amounted to 92.07 per cent at the end of the additional acceptance period provided for by law on 20 May 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST). Thus, the acceptance rate has again increased very significantly compared to the end of the regular acceptance period (72.84 per cent). The minimum acceptance threshold was 55 per cent.

Björn Waldow, CFO of Sixt Leasing SE: "We are very pleased with the extraordinarily high acceptance rate. The high level of acceptance creates clear conditions with regard to the ownership structure.

We are optimistic that the outstanding offer conditions will be met in the coming months and expect the transaction to be completed in the second half of 2020."

In accordance with § 16 of the German Securities Trading and Takeover Act (WpÜG), shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE who had not tendered their shares by the end of the regular acceptance period on 30 April 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST) were able to accept the offer from HCBE until the end of the additional period provided for by law.

Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in the first quarter of 2020 in line with expectations

• Slight decrease in Group contract portfolio in the first three months of 2020 - Significant increase compared to the same period of the previous year
• Consolidated operating revenue and earnings before taxes (EBT) below previous year's level, as expected
• Managing Board and Supervisory Board propose a dividend of EUR 0.90 per Sixt Leasing share to the shareholders for the 2019 financial year
• Managing Board intensifies measures to reduce COVID-19 risks and confirms forecast for 2020 - Still recovery expected in the second half of the year
• End of additional acceptance period for voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH on 20 May 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST)

Pullach, 12 May 2020 - 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, has developed in line with expectations in the first quarter of 2020. The Group's contract portfolio decreased slightly in the period from the end of December 2019 to the end of March 2020. Consolidated operating revenue declined year-on-year. Earnings before taxes (EBT) were very significantly below the previous year's level. The Managing Board confirms the forecast for the 2020 financial year. Accordingly, it continues to expect business development to recover in the second half of the year.

Business development in Q1 2020
In the first quarter of 2020, 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 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 expanded its cooperation with BSH Hausgeräte GmbH in the field of e-mobility.

The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field fell slightly by 1.8 per cent to 43,500 in the period from the end of December to the end of March, particularly as a result of 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 1.7 per cent to 39,700 contracts. The Fleet Management business unit recorded growth of 1.4 per cent to 52,200 contracts. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 0.7 per cent to 135,300 contracts.

Compared to the end of the first quarter of 2019, the Group contract portfolio recorded a significant growth of 7.7 per cent. The main reason for this was the 24.9 per cent increase in the contract portfolio in Fleet Management, which is mainly due to the acquisition of Flottenmeister GmbH in the fourth quarter of 2019. The contract portfolio in Online Retail increased by 2.6 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Fleet Leasing recorded a decline of 4.1 per cent.

Consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2020 fell by 14.4 per cent year-on-year to EUR 199.3 million. This is mainly due to the decline in sales revenues. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) fell by 4.5 per cent to EUR 114.3 million. Sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management fell by 24.8 per cent to EUR 85.0 million. This decline is mainly due on the one hand to the very strong first quarter of the previous year with a very high number of leasing returns sold in the Online Retail business field, and on the other hand to the restrictions on stationary automobile trade as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell in the first three months of 2020 by 1.5 per cent to EUR 56.3 million compared to the same period last year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) recorded a decline of 20.3 per to EUR 5.6 million, which was in line with expectations. The lower EBT is due, among other things, to the volume effect in vehicle sales described above, increased marketing expenses at the beginning of the year and initial transaction-related costs in connection with the voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE). The operating return on revenue in the first three months of 2020 thus amounted to 4.9 per cent (-1.0 percentage points). Consolidated profit decreased by 33.4 per cent to EUR 3.8 million.

Dividend proposal
The Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE propose to the shareholders a dividend of EUR 0.90 per Sixt Leasing share for the 2019 financial year (previous year: EUR 0.48). Thus, the Boards confirm the dividend expectations of the shareholders as deriving from the sale of Sixt SE's stake in the company and the associated voluntary public takeover offer by HCBE. The Managing Board and Supervisory Board based their dividend proposal on the up to date business, investment and liquidity planning of the company, which already has been adjusted to the expected economic and financial effects of the COVID-19 situation on the markets and the operations of Sixt Leasing SE.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "As expected, the general conditions for our business have become more challenging. We have therefore significantly intensified our early warning, monitoring and control measures for the Sixt Leasing Group. Our new major shareholder HCBE will give us the tailwind to continue to successfully implement our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy program. The minimum acceptance threshold for the voluntary public takeover offer has already been reached. The further acceptance period will end in a few days."

With its internal control and risk management system, Sixt Leasing SE is appropriately positioned for monitoring and controlling the Group, also in regard to the current COVID-19 situation. However, the Managing Board has intensified risk management due to the more demanding framework conditions.

Takeover offer
Shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE can accept the voluntary public takeover offer by HCBE until the end of the legally stipulated, additional acceptance period on 20 May 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST). The minimum acceptance threshold of 55 per cent was significantly exceeded at the end of the regular acceptance period on 30 April 2020 at 24:00 hours (CEST) with an acceptance rate of 72,84 per cent. The closing of the takeover offer is still subject to the remaining customary closing conditions set out in the offer document.

HCBE, a joint venture of Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc., had announced the offer on 21 February 2020. The offer document was published on 24 March 2020. In their joint reasoned statement on 6 April 2020, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE issued a recommendation to shareholders to accept the offer. The statement is available on the Internet at https://ir.sixt-leasing.com/takeoveroffer.

Outlook
According to the forecast published on 20 March 2020, the Managing Board continues to expect a slight increase in the Group's contract portfolio compared with the 2019 financial year and consolidated operating revenue to be roughly at the previous year's level. With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a figure very significantly below the previous year's level. This does not yet take into account the expenses that would be incurred after a successfully completed HCBE takeover offer. The Managing Board expects the transaction to be completed in the second half of 2020 and, in this case, expects additional one-off costs in a high single-digit million euro range in the year 2020, part of which is to be considered in the accounting already in the first half of 2020. The assumptions and uncertainties in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic described in the Quarterly Statement also apply to the forecast. This includes the assumption that a recovery in business development will occur in the second half of the year 2020.

The Group's Quarterly Statement as of 31 March 2020 can be downloaded from https://ir.sixt-leasing.com/interim-reports.

Sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management rose disproportionately by 9.5 per cent to EUR 356.3 million. The higher number of vehicle returns in the Online Retail business field contributed in particular to this increase.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased by 3.4 per cent to EUR 232.7 million. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) for the 2019 financial year were 4.0 per cent below the previous year's figure at EUR 29.3 million. The operating return on revenue remained almost stable at 6.3 per cent (2018: 6.4 per cent). Consolidated profit declined by 2.0 per cent to EUR 21.5 million.

Dividend proposal
For the 2019 financial year, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE are considering to propose a dividend of up to EUR 0.90 per share to the Annual General Meeting. The specific proposal for the appropriation of profits will be published along with the agenda for the 2020 Annual General Meeting at the latest. The event will take place on 23 June 2020 as a virtual Annual General Meeting.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In the 2020 financial year, our focus is on the further digitalisation of the business model and the alignment of the organisation to future national and international growth. Thus, we are taking the next step towards becoming the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe. Hyundai Capital Bank Europe will support us as a new major shareholder in the event of a successful takeover offer."

Takeover offer
The voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH, a joint venture of Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc., has been running since 24 March 2020 and will end tomorrow, on 30 April 2020, at midnight (CEST). The offer price in the amount of EUR 18.00 per share in cash is equivalent to a premium of around 25.0 per cent on the unaffected Xetra closing share price as of 18 February 2020 and a premium of around 40.8 per cent on the unaffected volume-weighted average price during the last three months up to and including 18 February 2020.

Further details can be found in the joint reasoned statement of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE regarding the takeover offer, which was published on 6 April 2020 and is available at https://ir.sixt-leasing.com/takeoveroffer. The Managing Board and Supervisory Board support the takeover offer and are of the opinion that the completion is in the interest of Sixt Leasing SE, its shareholders and other stakeholders.

Outlook
The Managing Board confirms the forecast published on 20 March 2020. Accordingly, it expects a slight increase in the Group's contract portfolio compared with the 2019 financial year and consolidated operating revenue to be roughly at the previous year's level. With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a figure very significantly below the previous year's level. This does not yet take into account the expenses that would be incurred after a successfully completed takeover offer. In this case, the Managing Board expects additional one-off costs in a high single-digit million euro range in the year 2020.

Sixt Leasing SE: Managing Board and Supervisory Board recommend acceptance of the voluntary public tender by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH

• Joint reasoned statement by the Managing Board and Supervisory Board published
• Fair financial consideration with an attractive premium for shareholders
• The Managing Board and Supervisory Board welcome the commitment of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH to support the strategy of Sixt Leasing

Pullach, 6 April 2020 - Today, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE have published their reasoned statement in accordance with section 27 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG) regarding the voluntary public takeover offer by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) to all shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE. Accordingly, they recommend Sixt Leasing shareholders to accept the takeover offer. HCBE, a joint venture of Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc., had announced the offer at a price of EUR 18.00 or, if certain conditions defined in the offer document are met, up to EUR 18.90 per Sixt Leasing share in cash on 21 February 2020 and published the corresponding offer document on 24 March 2020.

The Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing have independently examined and evaluated the conditions of the takeover offer. Taking into account the information in the statement and the overall circumstances in connection with the takeover offer as well as the objectives and intentions of HCBE as set out in the offer document, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board are of the opinion that the consideration offered by HCBE is appropriate and the takeover offer is in the interest of Sixt Leasing. In addition to the aforementioned recitals, they also used a Fairness Opinion to examine the appropriateness of the consideration offered. The Managing Board and Supervisory Board consider the offer price to be attractive, particularly also in light of the current volatile capital market environment.

The Managing Board and Supervisory Board support the takeover offer and are of the opinion that the completion of the takeover offer is in the interest of Sixt Leasing SE, its shareholders and other stakeholders. The operational measures intended by HCBE, Banco Santander and Hyundai Motors, such as the intention to strengthen and support Sixt Leasing's strategy regarding the growth trend "car-as-a-service", the intention to continue to operate Sixt Leasing in particular as a multi-brand company independent of automobile manufacturers or the further expressed intention to increase the Company's revenues in the Fleet Management business unit by increasing the number of customers, leverage effects in the operating business and international expansion, are considered positive and plausible. Likewise, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board consider the future integration of the Company into the group of two international and financially strong groups to be positive for the future refinancing possibilities of Sixt Leasing. In the interest of the other stakeholders, in particular the employees, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board welcome HCBE's, Banco Santander's and Hyundai Motors' statement that, in principle, there are no plans to carry out major restructuring processes in the organisation or in the employee representatives of Sixt Leasing.

Key data on the takeover offer and the statement
The acceptance period for the offer has started with the publication of the offer document on 24 March 2020 and will end on 30 April 2020, 24:00 hours (CEST). The success of the offer is conditional upon the achievement of a minimum acceptance threshold of at least 55 per cent of the Sixt Leasing shares issued at the end of the acceptance period as well as the occurrence of other customary closing conditions. The Sixt Leasing shares tendered for sale are identified by the ISIN DE000A2888L0.

Sixt Leasing SE: Significant increase in contract portfolio in 2019 financial year - More demanding general conditions in 2020

• Group contract portfolio climbs to record level in 2019 financial year - All three business fields return to growth in the fourth quarter
• Number of new contracts in the Online Retail business field increases by more than 30 per cent year-on-year in 2019
• Consolidated operating revenue and earnings before taxes (EBT) below previous year's level, as expected
• Outlook for 2020: Slight increase in Group contract portfolio and consolidated operating revenue at about the previous year's level expected; EBT influenced by Coronavirus and costs in connection with the announced takeover offer
• Offer document of HCBE published on 24 March 2020 after approval by Bafin
• CEO Michael Ruhl: "Our goal remains to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe. Therefore, we want to continue to implement our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy programme and, in particular, expand our product and service portfolio."

Pullach, 25 March 2020 - 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, has significantly increased its Group contract portfolio in the 2019 financial year according to preliminary calculations (IFRS). By the end of December, the Group contract portfolio had climbed to 136,200 contracts, reaching the highest level in the company's history. The main reason for this was the positive development in the fourth quarter. Consolidated operating revenue decreased slightly. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) were 4.0 per cent below the previous year's level. Thus, business development was in line with the expectations of the Managing Board in accordance with the forecast adjusted in October 2019. In the current 2020 financial year, the general conditions are becoming more demanding, according to the Managing Board.

Business development in the fourth quarter of 2019

In the fourth quarter of 2019, all business fields were able to increase their contract portfolio compared to the third quarter of 2019. The contract portfolio in Online Retail grew by 1.7 per cent. The Fleet Leasing business field recorded an increase of 2.7 per cent - thus it grew in comparison to a previous quarter for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2017. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Management business unit climbed by 16.4 per cent, in particular due to the acquisition of Flottenmeister GmbH. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) grew by 7.1 per cent compared to the previous quarter.

Business development for the full year 2019

Compared to the previous year, the number of contracts in the Online Retail business field decreased slightly by 0.8 per cent to 44,300 in the 2019 financial year. A significantly higher number of expiring contracts was offset by more than 13,000 new contracts, an increase of more than 30 per cent compared to the previous year.

The number of contracts in the Fleet Leasing business field declined by 6.1 per cent to 40,400 in the 2019 financial year. This was mainly due to further vehicle returns following the loss of a volume customer in the previous year.

The Fleet Management business unit recorded a significant increase in the contract portfolio by 22.5 per cent to 51,500 contracts, mainly due to the acquisition of Flottenmeister GmbH with around 7,000 contracts.

Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) thus rose significantly by 5.0 per cent to 136,200 contracts in the 2019 financial year. This is in line with the Managing Board's forecast, which was adjusted in October 2019.

Consolidated revenue grew by 2.3 per cent year-on-year to a record EUR 824.4 million. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) decreased by 2.6 per cent to EUR 468.2 million. The Managing Board had recently expected a figure in the region of EUR 465 million. Sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in fleet management rose disproportionately by 9.5 per cent to EUR 356.3 million. The higher number of vehicle returns in the Online Retail business field contributed in particular to this increase.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased by 3.4 per cent to EUR 232.7 million in the 2019 financial year. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) for the 2019 financial year were 4.0 per cent below the previous year's figure at EUR 29.3 million. The Managing Board had recently expected EBT in the region of EUR 29 million. The operating return on revenue remained almost stable at 6.3 per cent (2018: 6.4 per cent). Consolidated profit declined by 2.0 per cent to EUR 21.5 million.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In 2019, we were able to increase our contract portfolio significantly, but in 2020 the general conditions are becoming more demanding. The spread of the Coronavirus in particular presents us with major challenges. Nevertheless, we are convinced that we can master this situation. Not least, we expect our potential new strategic major shareholder to give us a tailwind. Our goal remains to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe. Therefore, we want to continue to implement our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy programme and, in particular, expand our product and service portfolio."

Support from new strategic major shareholder

With the purchase of Sixt SE's 41.9 per cent stake in Sixt Leasing SE by Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE) on 21 February 2020, Sixt Leasing SE has a new strategic major shareholder. The joint venture between Santander Consumer Bank and Hyundai Capital Services supports the existing strategy of the Sixt Leasing Group. As planned, the Managing Board of Sixt Leasing will therefore focus in the 2020 financial year on the further digitalisation of the business model and the alignment of the organisation to future national and international growth.

On 24 March 2020, HCBE published the offer document after approval by Bafin. The regular acceptance period runs up to and including 30 April 2020. Further details of the takeover offer can be found at hcbe-offer.com.

Outlook

The forecast published on 20 March 2020 applies to the current 2020 financial year. Accordingly, the Managing Board expects a slight increase in the Group's contract portfolio compared with the preliminary figures for the 2019 financial year and consolidated operating revenue to be roughly at the previous year's level. With regard to EBT, the Managing Board expects a figure very significantly below the previous year's level.

The cautious forecast is, in addition to the operative business development to date in the current year 2020, mainly due to the current national and international development of the COVID-19 situation. Moreover, the consolidated earnings in the 2020 financial year will be burdened by costs independent of the completion of the takeover bid from HCBE in a low single-digit million euro range, which will be incurred to a significant extent in Q1 2020. If the transaction is successfully completed, which is expected in the second half of 2020, further one-off costs of the company (e.g. IT expenses, consulting fees and bonuses) in a high single-digit million euro range are also expected in 2020. Possible growth impulses from the change of the major shareholder are not included in these forecasts, as they cannot be quantified at present.

Sixt Leasing SE gets new major strategic shareholder with Hyundai Capital Bank Europe

• Hyundai Capital Bank Europe, a joint venture between Santander Consumer Bank and Hyundai Capital Services, acquires Sixt SE's 41.9 percent stake in Sixt Leasing SE
• Announcement of voluntary takeover offer to all shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE to purchase the remaining shares
• Offer price of EUR 18.00 per share in cash is equivalent to a premium of around 40.8 percent on the unaffected volume-weighted average price of the past three months
• Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "New major shareholder supports current growth course."

Pullach, 21 February 2020 - 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 to get a new major shareholder in the form of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH (HCBE), a joint venture between Santander Consumer Bank AG and Hyundai Capital Services Inc. This is the result of a share purchase agreement signed today between HCBE and Sixt SE. The agreement envisages HCBE purchasing all of Sixt SE's shares in Sixt Leasing SE, which amount to 41.9 percent, against payment of a purchase price of EUR 18.00 per share.

Subsequently, HCBE today announced a voluntary public takeover offer aimed at all shareholders of Sixt Leasing SE, to acquire the remaining shares in Sixt Leasing SE against payment of a cash consideration in the amount of EUR 18.00 per share. The offer price is equivalent to a premium of around 25.0 percent on the unaffected Xetra closing share price as of 18 February 2020 and a premium of around 40.8 percent on the unaffected volume-weighted average price of the past three months.

If the share purchase agreement and the takeover offer are closed prior to this year's annual general meeting of Sixt Leasing SE, the price will be increased, depending on the consolidated profit for the financial year 2019 as stated in the audited consolidated financial statements of Sixt Leasing SE, by up to EUR 0.90 per share in each case. In this context, Sixt SE has informed Sixt Leasing SE of a dividend expectation of up to EUR 0.90 per share for the 2019 financial year, subject to a sufficient unappropriated profit.

The takeover offer as well as the share purchase agreement will be made subject to certain completion conditions, amongst others, merger control and other regulatory clearances, a minimum acceptance threshold of 55 percent of the shares of Sixt Leasing SE and further customary closing conditions.

Erich Sixt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE: "Following the IPO in the year 2015, Sixt SE and Sixt Leasing SE will now be fully separated. With its mature, promising business model, I expect Sixt Leasing to continue to develop positively also outside the Sixt Group. I would like to thank the Managing Board, the management team and all of the staff at Sixt Leasing for their major contribution to the success of the Sixt Group in recent years and decades."

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "We are delighted to welcome Hyundai Capital Bank Europe as major shareholder on board of Sixt Leasing SE. With the expertise and resources of the two globally active corporations Santander and Hyundai, we can complement our strengths ideally. Together we will continue Sixt Leasing's current strategy to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe."

New growth opportunities through strategic partnership
With its strong expertise in the vehicle leasing and mobility business, Sixt Leasing attracted HCBE as a strategic partner in order to be able to offer the full range of products and services and utilize all distribution channels. Therefore, Sixt Leasing will continue to operate its business model that has proven to be a success with a strong focus on innovation and growth. The new major shareholder is committed to the existing strategy capitalizing on secular growth trends in the car-as-a-service sector and will continue to invest in the business and employees. With regard to future market trends, the focus will especially be on growth in the retail sector.

Jochen Klöpper, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH: "We are delighted about the opportunity to cooperate strategically with Sixt Leasing in the future. The know-how and successful business model of the company form a strong platform for growth. By complementing our product portfolio with Sixt Leasing's innovative mobility services and fleet business at the point of sale and online, Hyundai Capital Bank Europe is able to further strengthen its position in the automotive finance sector."

Yoono Hwang, President of Hyundai Capital Services Korea and Member of the Supervisory Board of Hyundai Capital Bank Europe GmbH: "We are convinced that this is an excellent opportunity to leverage the innovation potential of Sixt Leasing with regard to future market trends in the automotive sector."

Brand usage secured for a further five years
In order to continue Sixt Leasing's business seamlessly in its new ownership structure, Sixt Leasing SE and Sixt SE have agreed on the continued use of existing brand rights for a period of five years from the date on which the transaction is completed (closing). The Sixt Leasing Group will therefore be able to continue to use brands like 'Sixt Leasing', 'Sixt Neuwagen' and 'Sixt Mobility Consulting' in the scope of the business activities so far also over the next five years.

Expansion of used vehicle sites in Germany
Also today, Sixt Leasing SE entered into an agreement with companies of the Sixt SE Group on the acquisition of the used vehicle sites belonging to SL Car Sales GmbH in Eching (near Munich) and Berlin. The purchase of these two locations depends upon the completion of HCBE's acquisition of Sixt SE's stake in Sixt Leasing SE. Sixt Leasing already runs an own used vehicle site at Egelsbach near Frankfurt. This means that the company will have a total of three of its own retail locations in Germany in future. The Garching site will remain with SL Car Sales GmbH within the Sixt SE Group.

Further information on the voluntary takeover offer
The offer document will be published at a later date by HCBE in line with the stipulations of WpÜG (German Law on Securities Acquisition and Takeovers), following approval by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, BaFin). The Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Sixt Leasing SE will assess the offer and provide and publish a reasoned statement on the offer following publication of the offer documents and in compliance with their legal obligations.

Sixt Leasing SE starts digital aftersales of service products on sixt-neuwagen.de

• Expansion of service offering for existing customers on sixt-neuwagen.de: 'Worry-free maintenance and tear package' now bookable after placing a leasing order
• Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "By expanding our product and service portfolio and making it more flexible we are able to open up an even bigger market potential for our online business."

Pullach, 11 December 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new cars in Germany, is expanding the service offering for private and commercial customers on its online platform sixt-neuwagen.de. This means customers now have the opportunity to book the 'worry-free maintenance and wear package' online even after placing their order for a new car. Previously this was only possible if they conclude a leasing contract at the same time. In addition, the company is preparing the sales launch for services to private and commercial companies independently of any leasing contract.

Josef Finauer, Senior Director Product Management at Sixt Leasing SE: "With the digital after-sale of the 'worry-free maintenance and wear package' we are expanding our product portfolio on sixt-neuwagen.de by adding a very attractive service offering for existing customers. Further services are planned for both new and existing customers. From 2020 we will also be offering the 'worry-free package' and other services independently from a leasing contract, through partnerships for example. This will also enable private and commercial car owners to benefit from our first-class services and low-cost prices for the first time."

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The launch of digital aftersales on sixt-neuwagen.de and the progress made on completely decoupling services from the leasing contract are part of our growth and digitalisation initiative. We are confident that this will give a real boost to the development of our business model in the context of our strategy programme 'DRIVE>2021'. By expanding our product and service portfolio and making it more flexible with these activities we are able to open up an even bigger market potential for our Online Retail business field."

Users of the 'worry-free maintenance and wear package' profit from the top conditions and extensive partnership network of Sixt Leasing, which includes approximately 2,800 authorized workshops in Germany. The fixed monthly payment means the costs of the 'worry-free package' are always predictable and transparent. The Sixt Leasing Service Card ensures the services are easy to use.

Sixt Leasing SE expands contract portfolio in Online Retail and Fleet Management in third quarter 2019

• Increase in new business brings Online Retail business field back onto growth track in third quarter - Fleet Management continues to grow as well
• Consolidated revenue up by nearly 6 per cent in first nine months of 2019 to EUR 633 million - operating revenue down slightly
• EBT of EUR 21.5 million below previous year - Q3 strongest quarter in year to date at EUR 7.4 million
• Managing Board confirms forecast for full year 2019

Pullach, 12 November 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has expanded the contract portfolios in its Online Retail and Fleet Management business fields in the third quarter of 2019. In the Online Retail business field, the contract portfolio increased by 2.7 per cent in the period from the end of June to the end of September. This was particularly due to the successful sales cooperation between Sixt Neuwagen, Fiat and Tchibo. The Fleet Management business unit also saw its contract portfolio increase by 2.7 per cent on the previous quarter, maintaining its growth momentum. In the Fleet Leasing business field, the contract portfolio declined by 3.3 per cent over the third quarter. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) grew by 0.8 per cent in the period from the end of June to the end of September 2019.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The positive signals from the Online Retail business field and ongoing growth in the Fleet Management business unit give us confidence for the future development of the contract portfolio. Thanks to the takeover of Flottenmeister GmbH by our subsidiary Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH, we are now even expecting the Group's contract portfolio to be significantly higher at year-end 2019 than last year."

In the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing ran an innovative sales campaign in cooperation with Fiat and Tchibo from the end of June to early September. It involved the marketing of new, well-equipped Fiat 500 Lounge vehicles on particularly attractive terms to private customers via the online platform sixt-neuwagen.de. The campaign was very popular with both private customers and participating Fiat dealers.

In the Fleet Management business unit, Sixt Mobility Consulting launched a new self-service app for company car users in the third quarter. 'The Companion' enables company car drivers to complete important car-related tasks - like making workshop appointments - quickly and easily at any time using their smartphone. Thus, Sixt Mobility Consulting is pushing ahead with the digitalisation of its business model and setting up its operations much more efficiently.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH also announced the acquisition of all shares of Flottenmeister GmbH. The independent fleet manager, also based in Pullach near Munich, had more than 7,000 company cars under management at the end of September. The contracts are going to be transferred to the contract portfolio of the Sixt Leasing Group in the course of the fourth quarter 2019.

Business performance in 9M 2019

The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 2.0 per cent to 127,200 contracts during the period from the beginning of January to the end of September 2019. This was mainly due to the decline in the first quarter. In the second and third quarters, however, the contract development was positive.

Consolidated revenue rose by 5.5 per cent to EUR 633.0 million compared to the same period last year. This is mainly attributable to the strong increase in sales revenues, especially from the considerably higher number of returned lease vehicles from the Online Retail business field. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) declined slightly by 2.3 per cent to EUR 350.0 million.

Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) came to EUR 21.5 million for the first nine months of 2019, which is 7.8 per cent down on the previous year. The third quarter saw the strongest pre-tax earnings of the year to date at EUR 7.4 million.

This brought the operating return on revenue for the first nine months of 2019 to 6.2 per cent (-0.3 percentage points). Consolidated net profit came to EUR 16.1 million (-9.5 per cent).

Outlook

In line with the adjusted full-year guidance published on 22 October 2019, the Managing Board is expecting the Group's contract portfolio at year-end to be significantly higher than last year. It is also anticipating consolidated operating revenue for the financial year 2019 in the range of EUR 465 million and EBT in the range of EUR 29 million.

By the end of the 2021 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect an increase of the Group's contract portfolio to around 200,000 contracts and an increase in consolidated operating revenue to around EUR 650 million. EBT is still expected to increase to EUR 40 to 45 million.

Sixt Leasing SE: Business performance in first half of 2019 as expected

• Consolidated revenue increases by 9 per cent to EUR 428 million in the first half of 2019
• Contract portfolio and operating revenue decrease slightly, as expected
• EBT of just over EUR 14 million in line with expectations
• Business performance in the second half of the year still expected to be stronger
• Managing Board confirms forecast for 2019 and medium-term targets for 2021

Pullach, 12 August 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has performed in line with expectations in the first half of 2019. The company is also confirming its forecast for the 2019 financial year and its medium-term targets for 2021. In the first six months of 2019, consolidated revenue increased significantly compared to the same period last year while, as expected, the contract portfolio and operating revenue decreased slightly. Consolidating earnings before taxes (EBT) came in below last year's figure, as expected.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "For the second half of 2019, we are expecting a stronger business performance than in the first half of the year. In particular, the further implementation of our 'DRIVE>2021' strategy programme will contribute to this. Our goal is to increase revenue and earnings significantly over the medium term. In doing so, we want to become the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe."

Sixt Leasing's business model is to be developed in the 2019 financial year. To this end, the Managing Board has implemented various measures in the four areas of Products, Customer Experience, Segments & Markets and Processes. The focus is on growth and digitalisation initiatives in order to expand the product and service offer and to make it more flexible. In this context, an extension of the corporate purpose has already been decided by the Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, the company is now able to offer or broker certain products and services independently of any lease or fleet management contract.

As part of the 'DRIVE>2021' strategy programme, further measures could be successfully implemented in the first half of 2019. In the Online Retail business field, Sixt Leasing launched an innovative sales cooperation with Fiat and Tchibo via its sixt-neuwagen.de online platform to market a brand-new Fiat 500 Lounge to private customers at particularly attractive rates. For the first time, such a cooperation integrated not only the car manufacturer but also the dealers.

In the Fleet Management business segment, international expansion was given a boost with new managers in Austria, France and the Netherlands. The Austrian subsidiary is now also focused on serving customers in Eastern Europe. In Germany, the sales team was strengthened and the test phase of the new self-service app 'The Companion' for company car users started.

Business performance in H1-2019

The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 2.7 per cent to 126,200 contracts during the period from the beginning of January to the end of June 2019. In the second quarter, however, the contract development was positive. The Group's contract portfolio increased again slightly compared to the end of the first quarter.

In the Leasing business segment, the contract portfolio's development was burdened by further vehicle returns from the 1&1 campaign as well as further returns resulting from last year's dropped out high-volume customer in the Fleet Leasing business field. In the Fleet Management business segment, the contract portfolio continued to grow.

Consolidated revenue rose by 8.5 per cent to EUR 428.0 million compared to the same period last year. This is mainly attributable to the significant increase in sales revenues, especially from the considerably higher number of sold lease returns in the Online Retail business field. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) remained virtually stable at EUR 232.5 million (-1.5 per cent).

Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) in the first half of 2019 were with EUR 14.1 million in line with expectations (-10.7 per cent compared to the first half 2018). The operating return on revenue therefore amounted to 6.1 per cent (-0.6 percentage points). Consolidated net profit totalled EUR 10.4 million (-9.5 per cent).

Outlook

For the second half of 2019, the Managing Board expects a stronger business performance than in the first half of 2019. For the 2019 financial year, the Managing Board therefore continues to expect a slight increase of the Group's contract portfolio as well as consolidated operating revenue and EBT both at around the previous year's level.

By the end of the 2021 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect an increase of the Group's contract portfolio by around 50 per cent to around 200,000 contracts and a significant increase in consolidated operating revenue to around EUR 650 million. EBT is still expected to increase from just over EUR 30 million to EUR 40 to 45 million compared to the 2018 financial year.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Fiat trade partners again, who are supporting us to jointly implement this campaign.

Sixt Leasing SE: Annual General Meeting votes for stable dividend and extension of the corporate purpose

• Annual General Meeting adopts all proposals on agenda items from Managing Board and Supervisory Board by large majority
• Shareholders approve stable dividend of EUR 0.48 per share for financial year 2018 and vote to extend the corporate purpose
• Managing Board plans significant further development of product and service portfolio in the current year

Pullach, 4 June 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, held a successful Annual General Meeting yesterday in Munich. Approximately 61 per cent of share capital was represented altogether. The shareholders adopted all the proposals from the Supervisory Board and Managing Board by a large majority. Items on the agenda included the appropriation of distributable profits and the extension of the corporate purpose in its Articles of Association.

Stable dividend approved
Shareholders approved the proposal to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.48 per share for the 2018 financial year, which is in line with the previous year. This represents a total dividend payment of EUR 9.9 million. The dividend pay-out ratio is therefore around 45 per cent of consolidated net profit and so in the middle of the forecast target range of 30 per cent to 60 per cent of consolidated net profit. In terms of the closing price at year-end 2018, this represents a dividend yield of 4.2 per cent. Sixt Leasing SE is thus continuing its attractive dividend policy.

Corporate purpose extended
Shareholders also approved the proposal to expand the corporate purpose. In future, the Company will therefore be able to offer or broker certain products and services independently of any lease or fleet management contract. This includes damage management, maintenance and wear-and-tear packages, insurance or tyre services.

2019 growth initiatives presented
In a presentation entitled 'The future of longer-term auto-mobility', Michael Ruhl, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) since 1 January 2019, introduced his plans to shareholders for the further implementation of the strategy programme 'DRIVE>2021' that was launched in 2018. Accordingly, the service range of Sixt Leasing is to be further developed significantly in the current year, particularly in the areas of Products, Customer Experience, Segments & Markets and Processes. The focus will be on digitalisation throughout this.

The Managing Board expects that these growth initiatives will already start to have an effect in 2019 and will achieve their full potential by 2020 at the latest. Fleet growth in Germany, extending the service business and international expansion in particular are intended to contribute to achieving the Company's medium-term growth targets by financial year 2021.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "We are pleased with the high level of approval for our proposals and would like to express our sincere thanks to our shareholders. In future, we intend to grow even faster, both in direct sales and via partnerships and cooperation agreements. This puts us in an optimal position for becoming Europe's leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility."

Sixt Leasing SE: Business development in Q1 2019 in line with expectations

• Slight decrease of Group contract portfolio and operating revenue
• EBT with around EUR 7 million in line with expectations
• Managing Board introducing measures in four areas to further improve business model
• Forecast for 2019 financial year and medium-term targets for 2021 confirmed

Pullach, 8 May 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has performed as expected in the first quarter of 2019 and is confirming its forecast for the 2019 financial year as well as its medium-term targets for 2021. In addition, the Managing Board has introduced various measures to further develop the Group's business model and to increase revenue and earnings significantly over the medium term.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "Our goal for 2019 is to significantly develop our business model in the four areas of Products, Customer Experience, Segments & Markets and Processes. Our focus will be on digitalisation throughout this. In doing so, we are laying the foundation for becoming the leading provider of longer-term auto-mobility in Europe."

• In the Products area, the existing product range will be supplemented with new more flexible and bundled offerings in order to address individual customer groups even more specifically. Moreover, in addition to new car leasing, customers should be given the opportunity to lease used vehicles, and to book individual service products independently of a leasing or fleet management contract.
• The Customer Experience will be improved further with more user-friendly online portals, applications and processes. App-based self-service functions should give users a simple and intuitive alternative to the currently still frequently used service processing via telephone, email or fax. Furthermore, Sixt Leasing is planning to open more of its own locations where customers can pick up and return their vehicle directly.
• In the Segments & Markets area, the Group is putting a stronger focus on smaller corporate customers in the B2B business. The Fleet Management business unit will further develop into an integrated corporate mobility manager, offering not only standard fleet management services but also integration of innovative, forward-looking mobility concepts such as mobility budgets and car sharing. On top of that, the company is seeking to expand its international operations more aggressively.
• Sixt Leasing will gradually automate and digitise Business Processes, which are still partly manual or analogue, in order to achieve more efficient procedures both for customers and within the organisation. At the same time, the cooperation between the business fields is to be intensified in order to make better use of synergies and optimise costs.

Business performance in Q1 2019

The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased slightly by 3.1 per cent to 125,600 contracts during the period from the beginning of January to the end of March 2019. Throughout this, the contract portfolio was adversely affected in particular by the continued high number of vehicle returns due to the successful 1&1 campaign and last year's drop-out of a volume Fleet Leasing customer.

Consolidated revenue rose by 15.2 per cent to EUR 232.7 million compared to the same period last year. This is mainly attributable to the significant increase in sales revenue, especially from the considerably higher number of sold leasing returns in the Online Retail business field. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) declined by 0.6 per cent to EUR 119.7 million, remaining virtually stable.

Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) therefore fell by 12.7 per cent to EUR 7.0 million. The operating return on revenue decreased by 0.8 percentage points to 5.9 per cent. Consolidated net profit declined by 3.8 per cent to EUR 5.7 million.

Outlook

For the 2019 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect a slight increase of the Group's contract portfolio as well as consolidated operating revenue and EBT both at around the previous year's level. At the same time, the business development in the first half of 2019 is still expected to remain significantly weaker than in the same period of the previous year as well as the expected business development in the second half of 2019.

By the end of the 2021 financial year, the Managing Board continues to expect an increase of the Group's contract portfolio by around 50 per cent to around 200,000 contracts and a significant increase in consolidated operating revenue to around EUR 650 million. EBT is still expected to increase from just over EUR 30 million to EUR 40 to 45 million compared to the 2018 financial year.

THE SIXT LEASING GROUP IN Q1 2019 AT A GLANCE¹

¹ Rounding differences possible
² Ratio of EBT to operating revenue

Sixt Leasing SE accelerates digitalisation of the business model and confirms forecasts

• Sixt Leasing publishes Annual Report 2018 and presents digitalisation initiatives for the financial year 2019
• Shareholders to receive a stable dividend for the financial year 2018, subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting
• Managing Board still expects a significant increase in Group contract portfolio, consolidated operating revenue and EBT by the financial year 2021

Pullach, 16 April 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has published its Annual Report 2018 and presented its plans for the further implementation of its strategy programme 'DRIVE>2021' today. Accordingly, the digitalisation of the business model in particular is to be continued in the financial year 2019. The Managing Board assumes that the growth initiatives planned in this context will already start to have an effect in the current financial year and will achieve their full potential by the financial year 2020 at the latest. On this basis, the Managing Board confirms the forecast for the financial year 2019 and the outlook for 2021 adjusted in March.

Growth through digitalisation

In 2018, the company has further improved its risk-return profile and laid the foundation for future growth. In the financial year 2019, the Managing Board is shifting its focus to expanding the product and service offering and making it more flexible with various digitalisation initiatives. At the same time, efficiency gains are to be achieved by means of process optimisation.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In 2019, we are shifting our focus from risk management to digitalisation in the implementation of our strategy programme 'DRIVE>2021'. Our vision is to become the leading provider of longer-term auto mobility in Europe. To this end, we will offer our customers the best-in-class individualised solutions. We are confident that this will accelerate our future revenue and earnings growth and bring us back onto the growth path in terms of contract portfolio."

Financial year 2018

The Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 2.4 per cent to 129,700 contracts in the financial year 2018, remaining roughly at the level of the previous year. This was due to the slow implementation of the new WLTP emission test procedure and the diesel discussion.

Consolidated revenue climbed by 8.3 per cent to a record EUR 805.8 million, in particular due to the strong contract growth in the Online Retail business field in the previous year. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) increased by 5.7 per cent to EUR 480.5 million.

Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) rose by 2.8 per cent to EUR 30.5 million. Operating return on revenue remained relatively stable at 6.4 per cent (2017: 6.5 per cent). Consolidated net profit improved by 5.1 per cent to EUR 22.0 million.

The Supervisory Board has approved the Managing Board's plan to propose a stable dividend of EUR 0.48 per share for the financial year 2018 to the Annual General Meeting on 3 June 2019.

Outlook

For the current financial year 2019, the Managing Board is still expecting a slight increase of the Group's contract portfolio as well as consolidated operating revenue and EBT both at around the previous year's level. In the course of this, business development in the first half-year 2019 is expected to be significantly weaker than in the same period of the previous year as well as the expected business development in the second half of 2019.

Regarding the mid-term outlook, the growth targets adjusted in last March continue to apply. Accordingly, the Managing Board plans to increase the Group's contract portfolio by around 50 per cent to around 200,000 contracts by the end of the financial year 2021. The key drivers will be the two business fields Online Retail and Fleet Management, where very strong growth is expected in the medium term. Regarding consolidated operating revenue, the Managing Board is expecting a significant increase to around EUR 650 million by the financial year 2021. EBT is projected to grow from currently just over EUR 30 million to EUR 40 to 45 million by 2021.

--

The outlook is based on the figures presented in the Annual Report 2018, which Sixt Leasing SE has published today and which can be downloaded from http://ir.sixt-leasing.com/annual-reports. Accordingly, the report shows no deviations from the preliminary annual figures already released in March.

Sixt Leasing SE achieves record revenue and increases earnings in 2018 financial year

• Group contract portfolio with around 130,000 contracts roughly at previous year's level
• Consolidated operating revenue increases by almost six per cent to more than EUR 480 million
• Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) rise by almost three per cent to more than EUR 30 million
• Managing Board makes proposal to Supervisory Board of stable dividend of EUR 0.48 per share
• Outlook for 2019: Slight increase in Group contract portfolio as well as stable consolidated operating revenue and EBT expected
• CEO Michael Ruhl: "In 2019, we are strengthening our focus on the topic of digitisation in order to further optimise our product range and to make our internal and customer related processes more efficient."

Pullach, 13 March 2019 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online direct sales of new vehicles in Germany as well as specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, generated record revenue and increased its earnings in the 2018 financial year, according to preliminary calculations (IFRS). The Group's contract portfolio remained almost stable compared to the previous year, but is expected to increase again slightly in 2019. In the mid-term, the Managing Board expects significant growth, also for revenue and earnings.

Business performance
The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field decreased by 1.6 per cent to 44,700 contracts in 2018, remaining roughly on a par at the level of the previous year. This development was influenced by two factors in particular. Firstly, new business was weaker than in the previous year primarily due to the slow implementation of the new WLTP test procedure and the related tight delivery situation for certain manufacturers. And secondly, the number of expired contracts increased sharply in the 2018 financial year due to strong contract growth over the past years.

The contract portfolio in the Fleet Management business unit increased stronger than expected by 6.6 per cent to 42,000 contracts.

The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field saw a decrease of 10.5 per cent to 43,000 contracts. This was primarily due to the unexpected loss of a volume customer and the active risk management announced at the beginning of the year. Within this initiative, the potential residual value risk posed by diesel vehicles across the total new leasing business was lowered successfully. The portfolio of diesel vehicles in Germany with the Euro 5 standard or lower without buyback agreement was thereby reduced to just approximately 2,800 vehicles as at 31 December 2018. This equates to a decline of approximately 50 per cent in comparison to the corresponding previous year's figure (31 December 2017: around 5,600 vehicles).

Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) decreased by 2.4 per cent to 129,700 contracts, remaining roughly at the level of the previous year.

Consolidated revenue climbed by 8.3 per cent year-on-year to a record EUR 805.8 million, in particular due to the expansion of the contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field in the 2017 financial year. Consolidated operating revenue (excluding sales revenue) increased slightly stronger than expected by 5.7 per cent to EUR 480.5 million. Sales revenue from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles in Fleet Management achieved above-average growth of 12.3 per cent to EUR 325.3 million. This was mainly due to a higher number of vehicle returns in the Online Retail business field.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased slightly in the 2018 financial year by 2.8 per cent to EUR 240.8 million. The financial result increased significantly year-on-year by EUR 3.0 million to EUR -13.2 million. Interest expenses were reduced significantly especially as a result of the repayment of the last two instalments of the Core Loan to Sixt SE in the amount of EUR 300 million in June 2017 and EUR 190 million in June 2018.

Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) rose by 2.8 per cent to EUR 30.5 million in the 2018 financial year, thereby roughly matching the previous year's figure as forecasted. Operating return on revenue remained relatively stable at 6.4 per cent (2017: 6.5 per cent). Consolidated net profit rose by 5.1 per cent to EUR 22.0 million.

Subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, the Managing Board plans to propose a dividend of EUR 0.48 per share for the 2018 financial year to the Annual General Meeting on 3 June 2019. This proposal represents a pay-out ratio of around 45 per cent of consolidated net profit and a dividend yield of 4.2 per cent based on the closing price at year-end 2018. The ratio is therefore in the middle of the communicated target range of 30 to 60 per cent of the consolidated net profit.

Michael Ruhl, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In 2018, we have made our portfolio fit for the future and thereby improved our risk-return profile significantly. In 2019, we intend to get back on our growth path and to expand the product portfolio and make it more flexible via various digitisation initiatives. At the same time, we plan to leverage cost potentials and realise efficiency enhancements through process optimisations."

Due to the recent noticeable change of the market environment and the customer preferences especially in Online Retail, Sixt Leasing is now increasingly focussing on supplementing its offerings through products and services which can be used to target further customer groups. On the basis of evolved strengths and long-time experience in the early development of customer-oriented solutions, the company is very well positioned to benefit disproportionally from the expected continuing strong market growth.

Outlook
For the current 2019 financial year, the Managing Board is forecasting a slight increase of the Group's contract portfolio as well as consolidated operating revenue and EBT both at around the previous year's level. For the first half of 2019, business development is expected to be significantly weaker than in the same period of the previous year as well as the expected business development in the second half of 2019.

On the basis of the present market and business development, the Managing Board has adjusted the medium-term growth targets. Thus, it is expecting an increase of the Group's contract portfolio to around 200,000 contracts until the end of the 2021 financial year (previously: more than 220,000 contracts). The company hence still expects very strong growth in the Online Retail and Fleet Management business fields in the medium term. Regarding consolidated operating revenue, the company expects a significant increase to around EUR 650 million by the financial year 2021 (previously: around EUR 700 million). EBT is also expected to increase significantly to a figure in the range of EUR 40 to 45 million by 2021 (previously: EUR 50 million).

Sixt Leasing SE increases revenue and earnings in the first nine months of 2018

• Revenue increases by more than eight per cent to over EUR 600 million
• EBT increases by 12.3 per cent to EUR 23.4 million compared to the same period last year that was burdened by special effects
• Potential residual value risk from diesel vehicles significantly reduced
• Managing Board confirms targets for 2018 that were adjusted in September

Pullach, 14 November 2018 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in the online sales of new vehicles and specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has increased its revenue and earnings before taxes (EBT) in the first nine months of the 2018 financial year. The contract portfolio was approximately at the previous year's level, while the potential residual value risk from diesel vehicles without buyback agreement were reduced significantly. The Managing Board confirms the forecast for the full-year 2018 that was adjusted in September.

The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field increased by 2.3 per cent to 46,500 contracts in the period from the end of December to the end of September. In the Fleet Management business unit, the contract portfolio increased as well by 3.3 per cent to 40,700 contracts. The contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field saw a reduction of 8.2 per cent to 44,100 contracts. This was in particular due to the active risk management as part of the strategy programme DRIVE>2021 to reduce the potential residual value risk from diesel vehicles without buyback agreement and the drop-out of a volume customer. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) was approximately at the previous year's level, decreasing by 1.2 per cent to 131,300 contracts.

Björn Waldow, CFO of Sixt Leasing SE: "In the first nine months of the 2018 financial year, we successfully pushed ahead with the implementation of our strategy programme DRIVE>2021, particularly with regard to the active risk management for older diesel vehicles, and held our ground well despite the ongoing diesel debate. We are also making good progress in digitalisation and preparing for internationalisation."

Consolidated revenue climbed year-on-year by 8.5 per cent to EUR 600.1 million, in particular due to the expansion of the contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field in the 2017 financial year. The Group's operating revenue (excluding sales revenues) increased by 6.8 per cent to EUR 358.0 million. Sales revenues from leasing returns and marketed customer vehicles rose disproportionately by 11.2 per cent to EUR 242.1 million. This was mainly due to a higher number of vehicle returns in the Online Retail business field.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased in the first nine months by 4.0 per cent to EUR 181.3 million. The financial result improved substantially by EUR 2.8 million to EUR -10.3 million. Interest expenses were reduced significantly especially as a result of the repayment of the last two instalments of the Core Loan to Sixt SE in the amount of EUR 300 million in June 2017 and EUR 190 million in June 2018.

Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) increased by 12.3 per cent to EUR 23.4 million in the first nine months of 2018 compared to the same period of the previous year that was burdened by special effects. Especially additional risk provisions for leasing vehicles have been recorded in the third quarter of 2017. The operating return on revenue improved by 0.3 percentage points to 6.5 per cent, remaining clearly above the target figure of 6.0 per cent. Consolidated net profit rose by 16.0 per cent to EUR 17.8 million.

The equity ratio amounted to 14.9 percent at the end of September 2018 and was thus 0.7 percentage points above the ratio at the end of 2017 despite the dividend payment of EUR 9.9 million in June. Gross cash flow rose by 10.5 per cent to EUR 174.5 million compared with the first nine months of 2017. At EUR 386.9 million, investments in lease assets were 10.9 per cent below the level of the same period of the previous year.

Active risk management
The potential residual value risk from diesel vehicles was reduced significantly in the first three quarters of 2018 as part of the strategy programme DRIVE>2021. In the period from January to September 2018, the share of new contracts for diesel vehicles without buyback agreement in Germany was just 15 per cent. In the fourth quarter of 2017, this figure was still at 28 per cent. Hence, Sixt Leasing SE has reached its self-defined target of around 15 per cent for the full-year 2018 already after nine months.

With the new WLTP test procedure, on 1 September 2018 stricter emission guidelines for light vehicles have entered into force. As a result, new passenger car registrations are now only permitted for the latest generations of Euro 6 diesel vehicles with significantly lower emission levels. The consequent introduction of stricter regulations and the changed framework conditions in this respect enable Sixt Leasing now to make risk management for diesel vehicles more flexible again.

Furthermore, since the start of the year, the portfolio of diesel vehicles with the Euro 5 standard and lower in Germany without buyback agreement has continued to decline strongly. Thus, the number of these vehicles on the balance sheet decreased by a good 40 per cent to only around 3,400 vehicles as of 30 September 2018 compared to the end of 2017. Since the start of 2016, in total nearly 10,000 diesel vehicles without buyback agreement with the Euro 4 and 5 standard have been sold successfully.

Outlook
For the 2018 financial year, the Managing Board expects, in line with the forecast adjusted in September, a slight increase in consolidated operating revenue and EBITDA as well as an EBT and a Group's contract portfolio approximately at the previous year's level. The target for the operating return on revenue remains unchanged at 6.0 per cent.

• Christoph v. Tschirschnitz is coming from BMW Group, where he was most recently CEO of the Region Central & Southeastern Europe.
• Sixt Mobility Consulting is on a strong growth and expansion course: Contract portfolio is set to increase by another 50 percent to more than 60,000 contracts by the end of 2021.
• Sixt Leasing CEO Thomas Spiegelhalter: "Christoph v. Tschirschnitz will drive forward our growth plans in particular with his international management experience."

Pullach, 11 October 2018 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in the online sales of new vehicles and specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has gained Christoph von Tschirschnitz as new Managing Director of Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH. Thereby, he will be in charge of the European business and the further national and international expansion of the Fleet Management business unit of the Sixt Leasing Group.

Sixt Mobility Consulting is one of the leading independent providers of fleet management and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sixt Leasing SE. The fleet specialist advises companies on the management of fleets, provides all services of fleet management through innovative IT tools and analyses, serves fleet users and supports companies in procuring fleets, for example, through IT-based multi-bidding processes.

Thomas Spiegelhalter, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "With the appointment of Christoph von Tschirschnitz, our Group is strengthened with a Managing Director who has long-time experience in all sales and financing areas of the automotive industry, excellent knowledge of Europe's automotive and mobility markets as well as a very good network. I am convinced that his international management experience will contribute to driving forward our ambitious growth plans for the Fleet Management business unit both in Germany and abroad."

From 1992 to 2018, Christoph v. Tschirschnitz worked with the BMW Group. During this time, he successfully held various positions in the upper management in the fields Corporate Control/M&A, Distribution Channels Strategy, at BMW Motorrad and as the Director of Sales & Marketing for the BMW sales region Asia, Pacific, Africa and Eastern Europe.

Christoph v. Tschirschnitz: "I am looking forward to becoming a member of the Sixt Leasing Group's management team. Individual mobility will remain an essential need of people - in their private as well as business lives. For companies the fleet is essential for operations, for employees it is a strong motivational factor - and always a major cost factor. Due to increasing requirements, either by regulatory changes, technological innovations or demands of drivers, fleet management for companies is becoming more and more complex. From my point of view, Sixt Mobility Consulting provides an enormous capability and convincing answers for companies - neutral and independent of manufactures and leasing providers. Thus, the various challenges become opportunities for an even more efficient and, for employees, attractive fleet organisation."

Sixt Leasing SE increases revenue to just under EUR 400 million in the first half of 2018

• Portfolio slightly increased to a total of 133,800 contracts due to growth in the Fleet Management and Online Retail business fields
• Group revenue rose by around 7 per cent year on year to EUR 394 million, with EBT coming in as expected at almost EUR 16 million
• Share of diesel vehicles without buyback agreement decreases again
• Managing Board confirms targets for full-year 2018

Pullach, 14 August 2018 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in the online sales of new vehicles and specialist in the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, recorded further growth in revenue and contracts in the first half of 2018. Considering the solid business development so far this year, the Managing Board confirms its forecast for the 2018 financial year.

The contract portfolio in the Online Retail business field increased by 3.6 per cent to 47,000 contracts in the period from the end of December to the end of June. The Fleet Management business unit also recorded a growth of 4.6 per cent to 41,200 contracts. As expected, the contract portfolio in the Fleet Leasing business field saw a slight reduction of 5.2 per cent to 45,600 contracts, mainly following the active risk management to reduce residual value risks from diesel-powered vehicles without buyback agreement. Overall, the Group's contract portfolio in Germany and abroad (excluding franchise and cooperation partners) rose slightly by 0.7 per cent to 133,800 contracts.

Thomas Spiegelhalter, CEO of Sixt Leasing SE: "Overall, the first half of the year was in line with our expectations. However, the sluggish transition to the new calculation logic for determining CO₂ emissions ​​does not leave us unaffected. New business in the second quarter, in particular in the Online Retail business field, suffered from the fact that around one quarter of the most popular models at sixt-neuwagen.de could not be ordered. The situation is currently concerning the entire industry, but should probably calm down by the end of the year. We are planning initiatives in the further course of the year to stimulate new business in Online Retail. Accordingly, we stick to our targets for the 2018 financial year. In addition, at the end of the year Dr Felix Frank from AutoScout24 will join Sixt Leasing SE as Chief Digital Officer and give the business additional momentum."

Consolidated revenue climbed year on year by 6.9 per cent to EUR 394.3 million. The Group's operating revenue (excluding sales revenues) increased by 5.6 per cent to EUR 236.1 million. Sales revenues from leasing returns and remarketed customer vehicles saw an increase of 9.0 per cent to EUR 158.2 million. This was in particular due to the successful remarketing of the significantly higher number of vehicle returns in the Online Retail business field.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased by 3.4 per cent to EUR 121.0 million in the first half of the year. The financial result improved significantly compared to the first half of last year by EUR 2.4 million to EUR -7.1 million. The main reason for this was the decrease in interest expenses as a result of the repayment of a EUR 300 million portion of the Core Loan to Sixt SE in June 2017. At the end of June 2018, Sixt Leasing SE repaid the last EUR 190 million instalment of the Sixt SE loan, especially from the proceeds of the bond issuance in May. As a result, the company expects further savings in interest costs over the next twelve months.

As expected, consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) declined by 5.6 per cent to EUR 15.8 million, in particular due to investments in IT and digitisation as well as costs for the ramp-up in staff necessary in the context of the growth plans. As a result, the operating return on revenue fell by 0.8 percentage points to 6.7 per cent, but at the same time remained significantly above the target figure of 6.0 per cent. Consolidated net profit declined by 7.7 per cent to EUR 11.5 million.

Active risk management
The share of new contracts for diesel vehicles without buyback agreements in Germany fell by a further 6 percentage points to only around 11 per cent in the second quarter. Including foreign countries, this share was 19 per cent. As expected, the German stock of diesel vehicles with the Euro 5 standard or lower without buyback agreement also continued to decline to around 4,000 vehicles in the second quarter. In the meantime, almost all vehicles with the Euro 4 standard have been sold successfully. Overall, Sixt Leasing was able to further reduce the potential residual value risk from diesel vehicles.

The equity ratio at the end of June 2018 was at 14.3 per cent, 0.1 percentage points above the ratio at the end of 2017 despite the dividend pay-out of EUR 9.9 million in June. Gross cash flow improved by 9.5 per cent to EUR 114.1 million compared to the first half of 2017. At EUR 280.9 million, investments in leased assets remained roughly at the level of the prior-year period (H1 2017: EUR 281.3 million).

The Managing Board continues to expect a slight increase of the Group's contract portfolio, consolidated operating revenue and EBITDA for the fiscal year 2018. The Board also maintains its expectation that EBT will remain at roughly the same level as the previous year. Operating return on revenue is also expected to be in line with the 6 per cent target.
