Outlook for 2023
In a fast-changing environment where monetary policies were focused on fighting inflation, economies proved resilient in 2022. In the current geopolitical context and taking into account China's reopening, ALD anticipates that supply chains will only gradually return back to normal, leading new car supply to normalize later than previously anticipated, towards the end of 2023. Against this backdrop, the favourable supply/demand situation in the used car markets is expected to remain in place in 2023.
ALD is currently finalizing its integration plan for LeasePlan to be ready to start executing it as soon as the acquisition closes. ALD expects to provide operational guidance for the combined entity for 2023 after the closing of the acquisition.
On 8 February 2023, Tim Albertsen, ALD CEO, commenting on the full year 2022 Group Results, stated: "In spite of a deteriorating geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, with continued disruptions of supply chains, ALD recorded a landmark year. We generated a net result well above one billion euros for the first time in our history, confirming the solidity of our business model through the cycle and our agility in challenging situations. This record financial performance reflects the commitment of our employees to achieve the highest standards of service quality and to fuel business growth in new market segments with innovative products, while maintaining a strong focus on operational excellence.
Alongside this record performance, ALD has reached key milestones towards the acquisition of LeasePlan. With our successful rights issue end of 2022, we have secured the financing of the acquisition, which we target to close on 31 March 2023, subject to all conditions precedent being met. We have also finalized our plans for an efficient integration and are now ready to welcome the LeasePlan teams and start a new chapter of our development, where the combined entity will be ideally positioned to lead the transformation of the mobility industry. Both ALD and LeasePlan teams are excited about the future ahead and fully committed to generating value for our customers and shareholders".
Update on the LeasePlan acquisition
Since the announcement of its intention to acquire LeasePlan in January 2022, ALD reached a few number of key milestones towards closing.
Main approvals from competition and regulatory authorities were received: i) ECB, DNB and ACPR regulatory approvals, ii) a waiver to the obligation to file a tender offer on ALD's stock granted by the AMF to the Consortium shareholders of LeasePlan, iii) European Commission approval under the EU Merger Regulation (subject to limited remedies), iv) Non-EU Antitrust approvals (UK, Brazil, Mexico and Turkey).
In December 2022, ALD successfully completed its EUR 1.2 billion rights issue, thus securing the financing of the cash component of the transaction price. The high subscription rate of approximately 175%[10] attests to the strong support from both existing and new shareholders to the creation of the leading global sustainable mobility player.
ALD continues to work towards closing the acquisition of LeasePlan by the end of March. An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) will be convened to approve the acquisition and the issuance of new ALD ordinary shares and warrants as consideration for the contribution in kind.
At closing, ALD will become a regulated entity with the status of Financial Holding Company.
Immediately after closing, ALD will launch the execution of the integration plan, with the objective of materializing the previously announced annual cost synergies of EUR 440 million by 2025.
By ensuring that the best terms are applied to the combined entity, ALD expects to secure at least 30 million euros of annual procurement synergies by the end of 2023. This amount would progressively materialize through the income statement in the following months.
Costs to achieve will ramp up further this year, as ALD will enter the integration execution phase. After EUR 128 million booked in 2022, the amount is expected to be in the range of EUR 150 million to EUR 180 million in 2023.
Strong commercial dynamics
In 2022, ALD continued its strategic development, further reinforcing its leadership and positioning itself to take advantage of the industry's long-term growth prospects. ALD's capacity to address new market segments through products specifically designed to meet changing customer needs fueled business growth.
In this context, the Flex fleet continued to ramp up successfully, reaching 78 thousand vehicles[11] end 2022. This strong development reflects the adequacy of ALD's offer to customers' desire for flexible mobility. Leveraging on Fleetpool, the recently-acquired leading car subscription company in Germany, ALD concluded a new partnership with Kia to provide a flexible subscription service called "Kia Flex". This digital product offers full flexibility to the customer, with a wide range of new vehicles to choose from, including EVs, which will be expanded further in the future.
The current new vehicle supply constraints also bring opportunities, which ALD was able to grasp. Used car lease is one of them. With a fleet of 52 thousand vehicles at end 2022, the multi-lease offer encountered a large success and put ALD on track to reach its Move 2025 objective of 125 thousand cars. This product is key in ALD's strategy as it reinforces the relationship with clients while reducing the residual value risk.
In line with its strategy of promoting sustainable mobility, ALD further increased its advance by extending the functionalities of ALD Move in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. With this mobile application allowing users to plan, book and pay multimodal transports, ALD contributes to the transformation of every employee's mobility journey, while enhancing the management by corporates and other users of their carbon footprint and mobility budget and broadening its customer base.
In 2022, ALD confirmed its commitment to lead the transition towards sustainable mobility and continued driving the shift towards electrification. With EV penetration of 27% of new passenger car registrations in 2022, held back by the continued disruptions in supply chains, ALD retained a leading position in Europe, well ahead of the market (23%[12]). The demand for electrification remains very strong, with EVs accounting for 35% of ALD's order book. The ALD Electric offer (including charging) is now available in 34 countries, from 22 countries a year ago.
My Net Zero programme is a unique and state-of-the-art modelling tool helping clients design their CO2 emission trajectory. This powerful product is particularly suited to clients' needs as it simulates multiple options, factoring in several parameters such as vehicles cycle renewal and the EV readiness of countries in scope. Thanks to this product, clients were able to beat their initial CO2 emissions objectives quite substantially.
Full-service lease contracts[13] reached 1,413 thousand units at the end of December 2022, while the order book remained at a high level, reflecting strong commercial dynamics in a context of continuing supply constraints. Funded fleet[14] grew by a strong +3.1% vs. end 2021 on a like-for-like basis, in line with the guidance range (+2% to +4%).
The total number of fleet management contracts increased by 43 thousand in 2022 or +14.6%[15] vs. 2021, to reach 336 thousand vehicles. Growth was primarily driven by a new banking partnership.
Total contracts stood at 1,806 thousand end 2022, up by 5.2%[16] compared to end 2021, reflecting ALD's good commercial performance.
Record financial results
ALD registered record financial results in 2022, driven by the strong increase in margins and exceptionally high UCS results, which more than offset the LeasePlan acquisition-related costs incurred in 2022.
Taken together, Leasing contract and Services margins (Total Margins) reached EUR 1,884.2 million in 2022, up 36.3% over the previous year, and up 31.7% when adjusted for non-operating items[17].
Reduction in depreciation costs impacted Leasing contract margin by EUR +350.3 million, driven by a change in the depreciation curve, reflecting expected exceptionally high used car prices in the near term. As a result, depreciation has been adjusted or stopped for those vehicles whose sales proceeds are forecast to be in excess of their net book value.
-- The reduction in depreciation costs equals the difference between the contractual amortization costs andthe revised amortization cost. It anticipates in the Leasing contract margin part of Used car sales results whichwould otherwise be recorded later.
-- The amount accounted for in Q4 2022 alone reached EUR +220.3 million, due to the change in thedepreciation curve occurring in H2 2022, which took into account the most recent fleet revaluation exercise,performed at the end of the year. The change in the depreciation curve in H2 2022 follows that in H1 2022 andreflects ALD's higher estimated 2023 used car prices, as it now expects that normalization of the car markets willbe slower than previously anticipated.
Non-operating items represented an impact of EUR +128.4 million on Leasing contract margin (vs. EUR +49.8 million in 2021):
-- Usual fleet revaluation exercise: EUR +72.2 million (vs. EUR +49.8 million in 2021), based on theexpected roll-off of the fleet portfolio. The amount recorded in Q4 2022 was EUR +12.5 million, vs. EUR +32.0million in Q4 2021;
-- Application of hyperinflation accounting rules[18] in Turkey: EUR +59.9 million;
-- Provision in Ukraine: EUR -3.6 million in 2022. This amount is based on ALD's most recent assessment,whereby most of the fleet continues operating and the portion at risk is limited, leading ALD to reverse EUR +21.4million provision in Q4 2022, i.e. most of the provision it had booked in Q1 2022.
Leasing contract margin reached EUR 1,181.1 million in 2022, up 61.2% compared to the prior year and up 54.1% when adjusted for non-operating items. Services Margin was EUR 703.2 million, up 8.2% vs. 2021, underpinned by the increasing number of fleet management contracts. Besides, Q4 2022 was boosted by the integration in the consolidation perimeter of Fleetpool's margins over the full year.
The contribution from Used Car Sales result reached an exceptionally high level of EUR 747.6 million in 2022, up from EUR 437.7 million in 2021, reflecting the very favourable supply/demand situation. The amount was EUR 123.9 million in Q4 2022, down from Q4 2021 and from the previous quarters in 2022, as the positive impact of reduction in depreciation costs on Leasing contract margin in previous quarters anticipated some UCS results, for an estimated EUR 111 million in total for 2022, of which EUR 73.3 million in Q4 2022.
UCS result per unit reached EUR 2,846 over the full year 2022, in line with ALD's guidance of "above EUR 2,800", up from EUR 1,422 per unit in average in 2021. UCS result per unit in Q4 2022 was EUR 1,919, down from EUR 3,014 per unit in Q3 2022. The reason for the decrease is the reduction in depreciation costs accounted for in previous quarters, which anticipated in Leasing contract margin some future UCS results. Had ALD not recorded any reduction in depreciation costs to reflect exceptionally high used car prices, UCS result per unit would have reached EUR 3,054 in Q4 2022.
Leveraging on its efficient used car remarketing tools, ALD managed to sell 263 thousand[19] units in 2022 vs. 308 thousand units during the previous year. The decrease is explained by an increased number of contract extensions and the development of used car lease.
As a result of the exceptionally high used car markets, ALD's Gross Operating Income reached EUR 2,631.8 million in 2022, up 44.6% vs. 2021. The impact of the reduction in depreciation costs, net of its impact on UCS results was EUR +239.4 million over the full year.
Operating Expenses amounted to EUR 884.3 million in 2022. The 31%-increase compared to the previous year is mainly driven by: i) LeasePlan acquisition-related costs of EUR 128 million (of which EUR 44.3 million in Q4 2022), as preparation for closing and integration have accelerated throughout the year, ii) a scope effect of EUR 31.5 million, with the entry of Sabadell, Fleetpool and Ford Fleet Management into the consolidation perimeter, and iii) higher variable compensation accrual linked to strong results.
Cost/Income Ratio (excl. UCS result) was a low 46.9% in 2022, vs 48.8% in 2021, due mainly to the positive impact of reduction in depreciation costs on Leasing contract margin, which more than absorbed the LeasePlan acquisition-related costs.
Impairment charges on receivables increased to EUR 46.1 million from EUR 24.8 million in 2021. The cost of risk expressed as a percentage of Average earning assets[20], remained moderate at 20 bps in 2022 (23 bps in Q4 2022), though it was up from the exceptionally low level of 11 bps in 2021.
The subsidiaries in Russia and Belarus were classified as Assets held-for-sale[21] in the financial statements ending 31 December 2022. This resulted in the booking of an impairment of EUR -50.6 million in Q4 2022 as Non-recurring expenses in ALD's income statement[22].
Income tax expense increased sharply to EUR 444.6 million in 2022, from EUR 238.6 million in 2021. The effective tax rate stood at 26.9% in 2022 vs. 21.3% in 2021, mainly due to the aforementioned non tax deductible non-recurring expense.
ALD's Net Income (Group Share) reached EUR 1,203.2 million in 2022, up 37.8% vs. 2021. The contribution from Q4 2022 was EUR 285.0 million, up 8.4% compared to Q4 2021.
Earning Assets increased to EUR 23.9 billion at 31 December 2022, up strongly by 10.3%[23] vs. the end of 2021. The increase reflects the strong commercial dynamic as well as higher-value vehicles and the rising share of Electric Vehicles in the funded fleet. Average Earning Assets[24] grew by 9.2% in 2022 vs. the previous year.
As part of its proactive liquidity management strategy, ALD further diversified its funding by issuing a total of c. EUR 2 billion senior unsecured bonds over the full year 2022. These successful bond issues under challenging market conditions confirm the market's solid appetite for ALD debt.
Total funding at the end of 2022 stood at EUR 19.9 billion[25] (up from EUR 18.5 billion at the end of 2021) of which 69% consisted of loans from Societe Generale.
The Group has strong long-term ratings from Fitch Ratings (BBB+) and S&P Global Ratings (BBB), which were both under Credit watch positive following the announcement on 6 January 2022 of the project to acquire 100% of LeasePlan. Since then, both agencies have confirmed a potential upgrade of the debt rating to A- on the closing of the acquisition.
The Group's Total Equity to Total Assets ratio stood at 22.0% at the end of 2022, up from 18.0% at the end of 2021, boosted by the EUR 1.2bn rights issue which will finance part of the LeasePlan acquisition price. Total Equity / Asset ratio restated for net of the proposed dividend would be 20.1% as at end 2022.
The Return on Average Earning Assets[26] rose to 5.1% in 2022 (vs. 4.0% in 2021), while ALD's ROE[27] jumped to 20.6% (vs. 19.5% in the previous year).
Earnings per share[28] for 2022 amounted to EUR 2.66, up 34.7% vs. the previous year (EUR 1.97[29]).
The Board of Directors has decided to propose to the General Meeting of Shareholders to distribute a dividend of EUR 1.06 per share in respect of the 2022 financial year, up 7.1% from the previous year[30]. This amount corresponds to ALD's medium-term objective of paying 50% of net income (Group share) to its shareholders[31]. While the closing of the LeasePlan acquisition is expected before the payment of the 2022 dividend, the current shareholders of LeasePlan will not receive this dividend.
