ALBIS Leasing AG starts 2025 on a high note

ALBIS Leasing AG has kicked off the 2025 financial year on strong footing, reporting solid results for the first quarter that closely trail the record performance achieved in Q1 2024. The company’s new business volume reached €23.5 million in the first three months of 2025—just shy of the prior year’s record of €24.4 million.

At the same time, profitability remained robust, with ALBIS posting a percentage margin of 18.3 percent, slightly ahead of the 18.2 percent recorded for the full year 2024. The leasing provider emphasised the stability of its risk profile, even as the macroeconomic backdrop remains difficult.

“We have seen a good, seasonally typical start to the year, with which we are satisfied in terms of our profitable growth course – especially in view of the overall economic conditions,” said Sascha Lerchl, CEO of ALBIS Leasing AG.

“Despite this persistently challenging environment, the risk situation in our portfolio remains stable and our strategic focus on the high-margin small ticket business remains promising overall.”

Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, ALBIS anticipates that new business and margins will remain at stable levels, comparable to the record-setting figures from 2024.

Meanwhile, the company also shared encouraging news about its performance in the previous financial year. Based on preliminary, unaudited figures, ALBIS expects consolidated earnings before taxes under IFRS for 2024 to come in slightly above forecast at €5.8 million (2023: €4.4 million), surpassing the previously projected range of €4.5 million to €5.5 million.

Under German Commercial Code (HGB) accounting standards, earnings from ordinary activities before taxes are expected to reach €4.6 million, compared to €3.9 million in 2023—positioning the company in the upper half of its forecast range of €4.0 million to €5.0 million.

Final, audited results under both IFRS and HGB for the 2024 financial year are scheduled to be published by early May 2025.
