ALBIS Leasing AG grows new business by 5% to €54.3m in H1 2025

ALBIS Leasing AG has reported strong new business development in the first half of 2025, driven by continued growth in its core segment. The company’s new business volume rose by 5% year-on-year to €54.3 million (H1 2024: €51.5 million), underscoring the success of its strategic focus on the retail/manufacturers segment.

ALBIS’ core business once again proved to be the primary growth driver, showing a notable 8% increase compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the “E-Bike Brokers” and “EDEKA Merchants” segments also performed slightly better than the prior year, contributing to the company’s overall positive trajectory.

The company reported a slight improvement in its margin, which rose from 17.9% in H1 2024 to 18.3% in H1 2025. In absolute terms, the margin increased by €0.8 million to €9.9 million.

“The good volume and margin development of our new business is due in particular to our strong dealer and manufacturer segment,” said Sascha Lerchl, CEO of ALBIS.

“This segment remains our most important growth area – this is where we see the greatest prospects for further organic growth.”

The second quarter of 2025 proved especially dynamic, with new business volume surging 31% compared to Q1 2025 and 14% year-on-year. New business reached €30.8 million, up from €23.5 million in Q1 and €27.1 million in Q2 2024. Within the core segment, the increase was even more pronounced: €18.4 million in Q2 2025, up 23% from Q1 and 19% from the previous year’s second quarter.

Despite ongoing global economic and geopolitical challenges, ALBIS reported a stable risk profile across its portfolio in the second quarter.

The company confirmed its full-year guidance, expecting new business volume between €100.0 million and €107.5 million, as outlined in an ad hoc announcement released earlier this week.

“In the second half of 2025, we will continue to concentrate on new business that is profitable for us,” added Lerchl. “While we are closely monitoring portfolio risk, our high level of diversification gives me confidence for the rest of the year.”

With sustained momentum in its core segment and a stable operating environment, ALBIS Leasing AG appears well-positioned to meet its full-year targets and continue on a path of profitable growth.
