    On 3 August 2023, Tim Albertsen, CEO of ALD | LeasePlan, commenting on the H1 2023 Group results, stated: “Having finalized the acquisition of LeasePlan last May, our teams are thrilled to embark on this exciting journey and to leverage on our strengths and complementarities to create the leading global sustainable mobility player in an industry where size matters.  

    The integration of LeasePlan is progressing according to plan. A number of key initiatives, led by the industry’s best talent, are well underway. Two months into the integration, we’ve already reached our first objectives. We will continue executing our integration plan at the same rapid pace and I am confident that we will start reaping some benefits very soon.

    The first results of ALD | LeasePlan as a combined entity are strong and promising, supported by a still highly favourable used car market and reflecting the unwavering commitment of our employees to achieving the best standards of service quality while transforming the company. They testify to the solidity and resilience of our business model in a rapidly changing macroeconomic environment. I have no doubt that the combined entity will be able to capitalize on this transformative deal to create value for all stakeholders.”

    Outlook for 2023

    In an economic environment marked by the continued rise in interest rates to tame inflation, economies slowed down during the first half of 2023. While supply and logistics chains continued to ease, allowing new car deliveries in Europe to recover from last year’s low levels, the production of new cars remained well below pre-Covid levels. Against this backdrop, ALD | LeasePlan continues to expect that the used car market will normalize gradually, with the exceptionally favourable supply/demand situation lasting until mid-2024 instead of end 2023, i.e. longer than previously anticipated.

    Leveraging on the acquisition of LeasePlan, ALD | LeasePlan expects for the full-year 2023:

    • Funded fleet growth8 between 2% and 4% vs. end December 2022, on the back of continued dynamic commercial activity and high order book;
    • Used Car Sales result per unit between EUR 1,200 and EUR 1,600 on average on ALD’s reported sales and c. 290 thousand vehicles sold. This guidance includes the negative impact of reduction in depreciation costs in previous quarters and reflects a progressive normalization in a still favourable market. No UCS result is assumed on LeasePlan’s Used car sales9;
    • Costs to achieve the integration and synergies10 between EUR 150 million and 180 million, unchanged vs. the previous estimate;


    Undisputed leadership in an industry where size matters

    The LeasePlan acquisition represents a step-up change, which propels the combined entity to the position of unrivalled leader in the operational leasing industry, where scale is crucial. ALD | LeasePlan ranks #1 multi-brand leasing player in 29 countries, including the top European markets, and operates a 3.4 million11 fleet, twice the size of its nearest competitor. With direct presence in 44 countries, ALD | LeasePlan’s geographical coverage is the largest in the industry. It enjoys a strong foothold in Western Europe and is well positioned in promising emerging markets all over the world.

    In line with its commitment to lead the transition to sustainable mobility, ALD | LeasePlan operates the #1 multi-brand EV12 fleet worldwide, with 428 thousand EVs as at 30 June 2023. Drawing on the broadest range of partnerships in the EV ecosystem and its unique capacity to address customers’ needs, ALD | LeasePlan will continue shaping the transformation of the industry.

    The combined entity firmly ranks #1 in the multinational segments, thanks to first-rate geographical coverage and long-standing commercial relationships. The client franchise in this category has risen from 320 clients for ALD alone to 550 clients for the combined entity, with associated fleet under management increasing from 378 thousand to 610 thousand vehicles as at 30 June 2023.

    The reinforced leadership positions, strong risk management, combined with the solid capital structure and potential for synergies from the acquisition have been recognized by credit rating agencies, which have awarded ALD | LeasePlan the best debt credit ratings among multi-brand leasing companies. Ratings were upgraded to the single A category just after the closing of the acquisition, allowing for more competitive funding costs and greater access to funding providers, both of which are essential in the sector. A new rating was assigned by Moody’s, namely A1, while S&P and Fitch have both upgraded their senior unsecured debt ratings to A-, corresponding to a 2-notch and 1-notch improvements respectively.


    First objectives achieved according to plan

    The integration of LeasePlan began immediately after closing, with teams of the combined entity joining forces to execute a thorough action plan. A number of objectives are already achieved only 60 days into the integration, in line with plans. Execution of the plan will continue at the same rapid pace, so that the first synergies can be delivered by the end of the year.

    As the LeasePlan acquisition was finalized a few months later than originally planned, ALD | LeasePlan now expects that annual run-rate synergies will be achieved by 2026 instead of 2025.

    • Commerce

    ALD | LeasePlan is committed to offering a seamless service and ensuring the highest level of customer satisfaction and therefore has arranged for a single team to face those clients which were previously served by both entities. Having received very positive feedback, it expects low attrition within this client segment.

    At the same time, sales teams have been trained on the full range of products (LCVs13, Flex, multimodality…) to capitalize on strengths and complementarities and take advantage of the multiple cross-selling opportunities offered by the combination.

    • Procurement

    Procurement is one of the main sources of synergies for the combined entity, prompting ALD | LeasePlan to start renegotiating the terms and conditions with its suppliers, leveraging on its scale. This proved successful so far, with bonus improvements already agreed by several OEMs. More recently, the first joint global tender was launched on tyres. With 4 million units purchased per annum, ALD | LeasePlan is in a strong position to improve its purchasing conditions.

    ALD | LeasePlan is on track to secure at least EUR 30 million of annual procurement savings by the end of 2023. This amount would progressively materialize through the income statement in 2024.

    • Overheads

    Digital & IT are key in the integration process. ALD | LeasePlan already started the convergence of IT tools and the streamlining of processes and will launch the local integration of IT by the end of the year. These initiatives will enable materializing cost synergies as from next year.

    Robust commercial performance

    Continuing the positive trends of the previous quarters, total contracts for ALD | LeasePlan stood at 3,391 thousand as at end June 2023, up by 4.3%14 compared to end June 2022, reflecting the dynamic commercial activity. LeasePlan’s contribution amounted to 1,616 thousand contracts as at end June 2023.

    Full-service leasing contracts reached 2,667 thousand units as at end June 2023, up +3.0% vs. end June 2022 on a like-for-like basis, with the order book continuously at a high level.

    Fleet management contracts increased by +9.1% vs. June 2022, to reach 724 thousand vehicles. Year-on-year growth was primarily driven by a new banking partnership.

    ALD | LeasePlan continued to play a key role in clients’ transition towards sustainable mobility by leveraging their powerful EV offering (including charging). EV penetration of 32%15 of new passenger car registrations in H1 2023 progressed significantly compared to the same period last year (25% EV penetration). This outstanding performance compares very favourably to the European market at 21%16 in H1 2023. BEV17 and PHEV18 penetration stood at 19% and 13% respectively, well ahead of the market.

    This robust commercial performance was achieved across a more balanced geographical portfolio. ALD | LeasePlan’s diversification was enhanced by the acquisition of LeasePlan, with exposure to France, its largest market, reduced from 28% to 20% of total fleet. Similarly, the top 10 largest countries (including France) now account for 83% of total fleet, vs. 87% for ALD alone.


    Impacts of LeasePlan acquisition on financial statements

    • Perimeter effect

    LeasePlan is consolidated from its acquisition date, 22 May 2023, i.e. for slightly more than a month in the H1 2023 income statement.

    The disposal of 6 entities representing c. 3% of the total combined fleet, was agreed with antitrust authorities during the LeasePlan negotiation process. Consequently, as at 30 June 2023, ALD’s entities in Portugal, Ireland and Norway (except NF Fleet Norway) and LeasePlan’s entities in Czech Republic, Finland and Luxembourg are classified as assets held-for-sale under IFRS 5. The ALD entities do not represent a major line of business or geographical area of operations and therefore are reported in the continuing activities of the Group’s income statement. LeasePlan entities do not contribute to the Group’s H1 2023 income statement, as their assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value in the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) exercise. These 6 entities were sold to Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance and Stellantis on 1 August 2023 and hence were deconsolidated from that date.

    • New regulatory status

    Upon closing of the acquisition of LeasePlan, which holds a banking license allowing it to raise deposits, ALD SA became a Financial Holding Company supervised by the European Central Bank and subject to new regulatory requirements. Under its regulated status, ALD | LeasePlan is able to optimize its capital structure thanks to layers of hybrid capital. Additional Tier 1 is accounted for in “shareholders’ equity” while Tier 2, subscribed by the company’s parent Societe Generale, is accounted for in “borrowings from financial institutions” in the financial statements.

    • Accounting considerations

    The Group applies the IFRS 3 “Business combinations” standard, whereby a Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) exercise is conducted. ALD | LeasePlan expects that the identification and recognition at fair value of acquired assets and liabilities will be finalized by end 2023. As a result, no profit on LeasePlan’s Used car sales was recognized since the acquisition in the H1 2023 income statement, as the fleet of LeasePlan will be assessed at fair value. Provisional goodwill as at 30 June 2023 is expected to be impacted in the full-year 2023 financial statements.

    Additionally, the harmonization of accounting policies and estimates across the Group is underway.

    Strong H1 2023 financial results

    ALD | LeasePlan recorded strong H1 2023 financial results, supported by continued highly favourable used car prices and the consolidation of LeasePlan since 22 May 2023, despite the ramp-up of integration costs and the negative impact of the disposal of ALD Russia.

    Taken together, Leasing contract and Services margins (Total margins) reached EUR 1,255.4 million in H1 2023, an increase of 54.6%19 compared to H1 2022. Out of this amount, the contribution of LeasePlan since its acquisition on 22 May 2023 was EUR 170.1 million20. ALD total margins were stable vs. the same period last year, when adjusted for reduction in depreciation costs and non-operating items, and up by 4.5% on a like-for-like basis21 excluding the cost of Tier 2 debt22.

    Leasing contract margin was boosted by the reduction in depreciation costs (EUR +315.3 million vs. EUR +62.7 million in H1 2022). As a result of continued high estimated used car prices until mid-2024, depreciation has been adjusted or stopped for those vehicles whose sales proceeds are forecast to be in excess of their net book value. The depreciation curve was modified in H1 2023, taking into account the most recent fleet revaluation exercise, performed at mid-year.

    The reduction in depreciation costs equals the difference between the contractual amortization costs and the revised amortization cost. It anticipates in the Leasing contract margin part of Used car sales results which would otherwise be recorded later.

    No reduction in depreciation cost was assumed on LeasePlan’s portfolio due to the anticipation of fair value recognition in the context of the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) exercise.

    Non-operating items23 impacting Leasing contract margin amounted to EUR +70.0 million (vs. EUR +47.9 million in H1 2022), comprising:

    • Fleet revaluation exercise24 of EUR +17.1 million (vs. EUR +40.5 million in H1 2022);
    • Hyperinflation in Turkey25 EUR +19.8 million (vs. EUR +39.5 million in H1 2022);
    • Mark to market of derivatives26 of EUR +33.1 million (vs. EUR -5.3m in H1 2022);
    • There was no adjustment to the provision in Ukraine accounted for in H1 2023 (vs. a EUR -26.8 million provision in H1 2022).

    At EUR +285.4 million in H1 2023, the contribution from Used car sales (UCS) result remained at a high level, albeit down from the historically high H1 2022 level (EUR +432.7m). The amount incorporates a negative impact of change in depreciation curve of EUR -132.0 million, as the positive impact of reduction in depreciation costs on Leasing contract margin in previous quarters anticipated some UCS profits. Due to continuing delays in car deliveries, some contracts were extended, which had a beneficial impact on UCS results.

    There has been no profit recorded on LeasePlan’s Used car sales since the acquisition in the H1 2023 income statement, due to the fair value recognition under the PPA. As a result, the current provisional goodwill was reduced accordingly.

    UCS result per unit27 on ALD’s sales came in at EUR 1,974 per unit in H1 2023 vs. EUR 3,212 per unit in H1 2022. Had ALD not recorded any reduction in depreciation costs to reflect exceptionally high used car prices in previous quarters, UCS result per unit would have stood at EUR 2,887. In Q2 2023, UCS result per unit amounted to EUR 1,346 per unit (EUR 2,614 without the impact of reduction in depreciation cost) vs. EUR 3,330 in Q2 2022.

    Leveraging on its efficient remarketing platform, ALD sold 145 thousand units28 in H1 2023 (not including 39 thousand vehicles sold by LeasePlan in May and June 2023) vs. 135 thousand in H1 2022. The volume increase, compared to the same period last year, is mainly driven by improved dynamics in new car deliveries.

    As a result of the exceptionally high used car prices, ALD | LeasePlan’s Gross Operating Income (GOI) reached EUR 1,540.8 million in H1 2023, up 23.8% vs. H1 2022. Excluding the net impact of the reduction in depreciation costs29, GOI would have increased by 14.8% vs. H1 2022.

    Operating expenses amounted to EUR 632.1 million in H1 2023, vs. EUR 403.7 million in the same period last year. The H1 2023 amount includes: i) a scope effect of EUR +115.5 million due to the consolidation of LeasePlan and Fleetpool, ii) LeasePlan integration costs for EUR 85.0 million and iii) transactions costs in relation to the LeasePlan acquisition and the disposal of the remedies entities for EUR 26.0 million. The company’s operating expenses include additional costs related to the new regulated status of ALD | LeasePlan.

    As a result, the Cost/Income ratio (excl. UCS result) stood at 50.3% in H1 2023, vs. 49.7% in H1 2022.

    Impairment charges on receivables came in at EUR 24.5 million in H1 2023, compared to EUR 18.9 million in H1 2022. The cost of risk30 remained low at 13 bps compared to 16 bps in H1 2022.

    Income tax expense increased to EUR 235.4 million, up from EUR 208.9 million in H1 2022. Effective tax rate came in at 26.3%, up from 25.4% in H1 2022.

    Result from discontinued operations amounted to EUR -91.3 million and was related to the disposal of ALD Russia on 20 April 2023. This amount covers: i) EUR -72 million reclassification of accumulated translation reserves into the income statement at the closing of the sale of ALD Russia (with no impact on shareholders’ equity); ii) EUR -29.2 million impairment of the net book value after tax and iii) EUR +9.9 million Q1 2023 net income reclassified from continued operations.

    ALD | LeasePlan’s net income (Group share)31 was strong at EUR 564.5 million in H1 2023, although down by 7.9% from the historical high of EUR 612.8 million in H1 2022.

    Diluted Earnings per share32 amounted to EUR 0.91 in H1 2023, vs. EUR 1.3833 in H1 2022. The change is distorted by the fact that the rights issue which financed the cash component of the LeasePlan acquisition price was settled in December 2022, while LeasePlan was consolidated only from 22 May 2023. Total balance sheet increased from EUR 31.3 billion as at 31 December 2022 to EUR 68.3 billion as at 30 June 2023, driven by the consolidation of LeasePlan. ALD | LeasePlan expects to finalize the PPA exercise, whereby acquired assets and liabilities are identified and recognized at fair value, by the end of 2023. Consequently, the related impact on provisional goodwill34 would be accounted for in the full-year 2023 financial statements.

    Earning Assets, at EUR 48.6 billion35, more than doubled vs. the end of 2022, underpinned by the consolidation of LeasePlan as well as higher-value vehicles and the rising share of Electric Vehicles in the funded fleet.

    ALD | LeasePlan’s risk-weighted assets (RWA) totalled EUR 54.3 billion36 as at 30 June 2023 under CRR2/CRD5 rules, with credit risk-weighted assets accounting for 85% of the total.

    ALD | LeasePlan has a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 12.5% and Total Capital ratio of 16.6% as at 30 June 2023. Total debt funding37 stood at EUR 47.1 billion at the end of June 2023, up from EUR 19.9 billion at the end of 2022, of which 33% consisted of loans from Societe Generale, while 24% came from deposits.

    As part of its active liquidity management strategy, ALD | LeasePlan continued to diversify its funding by issuing total of EUR 1,850 million bonds in H1 2023. The successful bond issues confirm the market’s solid appetite for ALD | LeasePlan debt instruments. Outstanding senior unsecured bonds now rank as Senior Preferred obligations. In the future, the combined entity intends to issue only Senior Preferred bonds on the market, through ALD S.A. as sole issuer.

    The combined entity has access to ample short-term liquidity, with cash holdings at Central bank reaching EUR 4.0 billion and an undrawn committed Revolving Credit Facility of EUR 1.375 billion in place.
