About this update from Ayvens
NET INCOME GROUP SHARE OF EUR 266 MILLION, UP 21.2% VS. Q1 2025 RETURN ON TANGIBLE EQUITY (ROTE) AT 13.9% VS. 11.0% IN Q1 2025 EPS 1 AT EUR 0.31 UP 29% VS. Q1 2025 Q1 2026 RESULTS 2 Leasing and Services margins at EUR 757 million, up 6.9% vs. Q1 2025 Underlying margins 3 at 587 bps of average earning assets vs. 562 bps in Q1 2025 Net Used Car Sales result 4 at EUR 59 million down 46.9% vs. Q1 2025 Gross UCS result per unit 5 at EUR 470, in line with 2026 guidance Synergies 6 at EUR 110 million, up from EUR 61 million in Q1 2025, on track to achieve PowerUP 2026 target of EUR 440 million for full year 2026 Cost to income ratio 7 at 54.0%, down 4 percentage points vs. 58.0% in Q1 2025 Earning assets 8 at EUR 52.5 billion, -1.8% vs. March 2025 CET1 ratio at 13.9% as at end March 2026 “Ayvens delivered once again a strong set of financial results with a better mix of revenues, as higher margins offset the anticipated normalization of used car result. The Group has continued to deliver on its integration roadmap, translating into the continued ramp-up in revenue and cost synergies across the organization . All these actions pave the way towards a more efficient company, focused on customer satisfaction and operational excellence, geared towards sustainable profitability and value creation for all its stakeholders. With a cost to income ratio at 54.0% and a ROTE at 13.9% in Q1 2026, Ayvens is well positioned to reach its PowerUP 2026 targets.” Q1 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS Fleet and earning assets Earning assets stood at EUR 52.5 billion vs. EUR 53.5 billion as at end March 2025. Ayvens’ total fleet amounted to 3.077 million vehicles, down 5.0% 9 year-on-year reflecting the continued impact of the portfolio review focusing on value rather than volume and the proactive actions taken to restore profitability on both full-service leasing and fleet management activities. Full-service leasing contracts reached 2,494 thousand vehicles, down 3.3% 8 year-on-year. Deliveries per powertrain 10 showed stability of BEV 11 penetration at 29% vs. 28% in Q1 2025 whereas PHEV 11 and hybrids 11 penetration increased to 12% and 29% respectively vs. 9% and 26% in Q1 2025. ICE penetration was down to 27% vs. 35% in Q1 2025. The progressive transition to a greener fleet resulted in a reduction of CO 2 emissions of the funded fleet, reaching 99 g/km as at end March 2026, already within the range of the Group’s commitment for 2026. Fleet management contracts reached 583 thousand vehicles, a decrease of 11.9% vs. Q1 2025. This decrease is very largely due to the non-renewal of one large contract which was not in line with the Group’s expected profitability. Income statement Ayvens’ net income group share stood at EUR 266 million, marking an increase of 21.2% vs. Q1 2025. Overall, this good performance resulted from a stable gross operating income, at EUR 816 million vs. EUR 819 million in Q1 2025, and lower operating expenses, at EUR 422 million vs. EUR 473 million in Q1 2025. This highlights again a thorough monitoring of the development of the company balancing growth with profitability and the management of asset risk. The performance in Q1 2026 also demonstrates the growing benefits of the LeasePlan acquisition. Gross operating income Gross operating income reached EUR 816 million, broadly stable compared to Q1 2025, with higher margins offsetting lower net used car sales result. The ramp-up in synergies continued according to plan, with EUR 65 million in gross revenues synergies on procurement, in insurance and remarketing, vs. EUR 42 million in Q1 2025, reflecting the continued disciplined execution of LeasePlan’s integration. Leasing contract and Services margins Leasing and Services margins reached EUR 757 million, an increase of 6.9% compared to Q1 2025. Underlying margins are trending higher at EUR 775 million, showing an increase of 3.0% vs. Q1 2025 and stood at 587 bps vs. 562 bps in Q1 2025. Non-recurring items totaled EUR -18 million vs. EUR -44 million in Q1 2025, consisting mostly of the hyperinflation impact in Turkey for EUR -19 million vs. EUR -34 million in Q1 2025. Used car sales result and Depreciation adjustments Net UCS result reached EUR 59 million, down 46.9% vs. Q1 2025 which stood at EUR 111 million. This results from a lower gross UCS result which continued to normalize, at EUR 69 million vs. EUR 193 million in Q1 2025, that was partially offset by EUR 73 million reduction in depreciation adjustments. Gross UCS per unit stood at EUR 470 vs. EUR 702 in Q4 2025 and EUR 1,229 in Q1 2025. This decrease, which results from the anticipated higher proportion of BEVs sold, was further impacted by unfavorable beginning-of-the-year seasonality on used car markets across powertrains. Depreciation adjustments decreased to EUR -10 million compared to EUR -83 million in Q1 2025. These EUR -10 million depreciation adjustments include notably EUR -21 million prospective depreciation, driven mainly by the evolution of the UK BEV market, vs. nil in Q1 2025. Total volume of cars sold, at 146k units, was down vs. Q1 2025 at 157k units, reflecting the lower number of new vehicles which were delivered in 2021 and 2022 in the context of supply chain disruptions at the time. As at end of Q1 2026, the Group’s stock of prospective depreciation costs to be reversed is EUR 53 million compared to EUR 83 million at end 2025. Operating expenses Operating expenses amounted to EUR 422 million, a decrease of 10.7% vs. Q1 2025. Costs to achieve 12 (CTA) amounted to EUR 4 million compared to EUR 36 million in Q1 2025. Excluding CTA, underlying operating expenses amounted to EUR 418 million, a decrease of -4.2% vs. Q1 2025, reflecting increasing cost synergies, at EUR 45 million vs. EUR 19 million in Q1 2025, and continued strict cost monitoring across the organization. The combined effect of increased underlying margins and lower underlying operating expenses resulted in an underlying Cost/Income ratio at 54.0%, a 4.0 percentage point decrease compared to Q1 2025. Cost of risk Impairment charges on receivables came in at EUR 26 million compared to EUR 31 million in Q1 2025. The cost of risk 13 stood at 19 bps vs. 23 bps in Q1 2025. Net income Income tax expense came in at EUR 99 million up from EUR 95 million in Q1 2025, as a result of a higher profit before tax at EUR 365 million vs. EUR 316 million in Q1 2025 and a lower effective tax rate of 27.0% vs. 30.0% in Q1 2025. Ayvens’ net income group share reached EUR 266 million, compared to EUR 220 million in Q1 2025, supported by higher margins and lower expenses more than offsetting the decrease in net UCS result. Diluted Earnings per share 14 was EUR 0.31, up 29% vs. EUR 0.24 Q1 2025. The Return on Tangible Equity (ROTE) came in at 13.9% in Q1 2026 vs. 11.0% in Q1 2025. BALANCE SHEET AND REGULATORY CAPITAL Financial structure Group shareholders’ equity 15 totaled EUR 10.6 billion up EUR 0.4 billion compared to EUR 10.3 billion as at 31 December 2025. Net asset value per share 16 (NAV) was EUR 13.51 compared to EUR 13.07 as at 31 December 2025. Net tangible asset value (NTAV) after dividend provision stood at EUR 7.3 billion vs. EUR 7.0 billion as at 31 December 2025. NTAV per share after distribution provision was EUR 9.28 as at 31 March 2026, and EUR 8.98 as at 31 December 2025. Total balance sheet stood at EUR 70.6 billion, down EUR 0.3 billion vs. 31 December 2025. As at April 2026, Ayvens has successfully executed two new issues of green bonds, totalling EUR 1.5 billion, confirming the market’s strong appetite for Ayvens debt instruments. The Group continues to have access to ample short-term liquidity, with cash holdings of EUR 2.0 billion and an undrawn committed Revolving Credit Facility of EUR 3.2 billion in place. Ayvens has strong long-term debt credit ratings from Moody’s (A1), S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings (A-). Regulatory capital Ayvens’ risk-weighted assets (RWA) totaled EUR 52.6 billion as at 31 March 2026, with credit risk-weighted assets accounting for 93% of the total. The EUR 1.2 billion decrease in total RWA compared to 31 December 2025 is mainly explained by: EUR 1.7 billion optimization of credit RWAs consisting of: EUR 1.0 billion as a result of the netting agreement with Societe Generale that allows to net loan liabilities and cash deposits and thus exclude the latter from RWA computation EUR 700 million decrease linked to earning assets due to a methodology alignment between accounting and risk exposure values offset by an increase of EUR 400 million in the off-balance sheet forward deposits and order book, and residual EUR 200 million of miscellaneous items. Thanks to this reduction in RWAs and the continued organic capital build-up, Ayvens’ Common Equity Tier 1 ratio reached 13.9% vs. 13.2% in Q4 2025, i.e. 454 basis points above the regulatory requirement of 9.33%. Total Capital ratio stood at 18.1% compared vs. 17.4% as at 31 December 2025.
