GRENKELEASING AG: More than EUR 1 billion in new business volume
03.01.2013 / 07:27
---------------------------------------------------------------------
More than EUR 1 billion in new business volume
- New business in the GRENKE Group totalled EUR 1,027.6 million in 2012 -
Year-on-year increase of around 20%
- GRENKE Group's contribution margin 2 totals EUR 159.0 million in 2012
and rises to 17.4% (leasing business)
Baden-Baden, Germany, January 3, 2013: The new business volume of the
GRENKE Group (including franchise partners) - the total cost of newly
acquired leased assets, factoring volumes and business start-up financing
- amounted to EUR 1,027.6 million in 2012 (2011: EUR 859.0 million),
corresponding to growth of 19.6%. The new business growth target of around
15% was thus comfortably exceeded.
The GRENKE Group's contribution margin 2 on new business amounted to EUR
159.0 million in 2012 (previous year: EUR 124.7 million). The contribution
margin 2 on leasing business was 17.4% in 2012 compared with 16.0% in 2011.
This attractive contribution margin is attributable to an efficient market
entry and favourable interest rates.
International business contributed a share of 65.7% to the GRENKE Group's
new business (previous year: 61.4%). Our 25th German location was
established in Kassel. We opened our twelfth French location in
Montpellier. Tamworth became our sixth location in the UK.
The GRENKE Group recorded 256,772 lease applications in 2012 (197,787 of
which internationally), from which 107,528 new lease contracts were
generated (78,508 of which internationally). The average value per lease
contract was around EUR 8,357 and has risen as against the previous year
(2011: EUR 8,178).
In 2012, our conversion rate (applications to contracts) in the GRENKE
Group (leasing business) was 42%. The conversion rate on our international
markets was 40%, which is lower than the German market (49%). These
conversion rates show that we have retained our strategy of not making any
concessions in our appropriate risk approach on individual international
markets.

business). The corresponding contribution margin 2 was EUR 156.6 million

The profit margin on the factoring volume of EUR 122.9 million amounted to
2.25% (2011: 2.28%). This margin relates to the average period of a
factoring transaction of around 36 days (2011: around 37 days).
'With a 19.6% increase in new business, we comfortably exceeded our
expectations of an improvement of around 15% in 2012, and concluded new
contracts with a total value of more than EUR 1 billion for the first time.
We generated this new business with profitable margins that adequately
cover the risks of our business. The objective of our business model is not
to avoid risks, but to assess them correctly. In doing so, we aim to
measure risks precisely in all our markets in order to attain an attractive
risk-return profile. With our extensive national and international
presence, we can also focus on those markets with an attractive risk-reward
profile', said Wolfgang Grenke, Chairman of the Board of Directors of
GRENKELEASING AG, commenting on the results.
'In addition to our regional growth, we are continuing to diversify our
range of products and financial solutions. GRENKE Bank offers attractive
products such as business start-up financing and enables us to cooperate
with public development banks. The volume of business start-up financing
was increased to EUR 6.1 million in 2012 (previous year: EUR 1.5 million).
In the context of GRENKE factoring, we provide our small and medium-sized
customers with additional financing alternatives. Growth of the factoring
volume has accelerated, reaching 41% in 2012. This product range is
performing very positively. GRENKE Bank remains a key component in the
diversification of our refinancing sources', explained Jörg Eicker, CFO of
GRENKELEASING AG.
On February 06, 2013 the company is to publish the Annual Financial Report
as per December 31, 2012.
