grenke on track with EUR 1.6 billion in new business in the first half of 2025

  • Leasing new business grew in the second quarter by 9.8% year-on-year to
    EUR 867.4 million (Q2 2024: EUR 790.3 million)
  • Contribution margin 2 (CM2) rose by 13.5% to EUR 148.6 million (Q2 2024: EUR 130.9 million)
  • At 17.1%, CM2 margin above prior year level (Q2 2024: 16.6%)

Baden-Baden, July 3, 2025: grenke AG, a global financing partner for small and medium-sized enterprises, increased its leasing new business in the second quarter of 2025 by 9.8% year-on-year to EUR 867.4 million (Q2 2024: EUR 790.3 million). Contribution margin 2 (CM2), an indicator of profitability, rose significantly year-on-year by 13.5% to EUR 148.6 million (Q2 2024: EUR 130.9 million). As a result, the CM2 margin of 17.1% (Q2 2024: 16.6%) exceeded the target of over 16.5% set for the 2025 financial year.

Dr Sebastian Hirsch, CEO of grenke AG: “The first half of the year reconfirms the strategic strength of our high degree of diversification – not only in terms of our object portfolio but also our geographic footprint. While smaller countries were the main growth drivers last year, it is now especially our two largest markets, Germany and France, that are the main pillars of our strong new business.”

Dr Martin Paal, CFO of grenke AG: “With leasing new business of EUR 1.6 billion in the first half year, we are fully on track. The high profitability of our new business, reflected in a CM2 margin of over 17%, sets the foundation for our future earnings. We are thereby driving a steady increase in our net asset value.”

Growth across the entire portfolio
In the second quarter, the largest category of lease objects, measured by the number of concluded contracts, was the IT equipment category at 26.3%, which primarily includes laptops, IT equipment, and software. The share of the total leasing new business stemming from the direct sales channel in the second quarter increased year-on-year to 17.4% (Q2 2024: 17.1%). This was due to the strong volume of new business in the DACH region, which typically records a higher share of direct business. The number of lease applications continued to grow to around 176,000 (Q2 2024: around 167,000), resulting in approximately 88,000 new leasing contracts (Q2 2024: around 87,000). The conversion ratio thereby remained largely stable at 50.2% (Q2 2024: 51.9%). The average ticket size was EUR 9,845, which is in line with the customary business level of around EUR 10,000 (Q2 2024: EUR 9,125).

Germany and France are strongest growth drivers by volume
With growth of 10.8% to EUR 218.6 million (Q2 2024: EUR 197.3 million) and a 25.2% share of leasing new business in the second quarter of 2025, the Southern Europe region was the strongest region. Within this region, Italy accounted for the largest share of total leasing new business at 14.4%. With an increase of 9.3% to EUR 215.6 million, Western Europe (without DACH) ranked second in terms of volume (Q2 2024: EUR 197.2 million). France was the strongest country in this region, accounting for 19.0% of total leasing new business. The DACH region ranked third with an increase of 14.6% and leasing new business volume of EUR 209.4 million (Q2 2024: EUR 182.7 million). Germany was the largest market in the second quarter, with a 19.5% share of the total new business volume.

The Northern/Eastern Europe region reached a volume of EUR 162.8 million, with a year-on-year change of -1.1% (Q2 2024: EUR 164.6 million). Other Regions recorded growth of 25.6% to
EUR 61.0 million (Q2 2024: EUR 48.5 million). Other Regions includes the growth markets USA,
Canada, and Australia.

The deposit business as of June 30, 2025 totaled EUR 2,364.1 million, representing a 6.0% increase since the turn of the year (as of December 31, 2024: EUR 2,230.6 million).
grenke Bank’s lending new business, which largely consists of microcredit business, amounted to EUR 10.4 million in the reporting period (Q2 2024: EUR 9.0 million).

The sold factoring business recorded new business volume of EUR 208.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2024: EUR 228.7 million).
