Fleet Finance Sponsored by Fleet Finance News Allane Mobility Group posts strong Q1 with 19.9% rise in operating revenue Published: 29th May 2026 Share Germany-based mobility and vehicle leasing specialist Allane Mobility Group has reported strong growth across its key performance indicators in the first quarter of 2026, supported by continued momentum in its captive leasing business and favourable used vehicle market conditions. The group increased its consolidated contract portfolio by 5.0% to 164,600 contracts as of 31 March 2026, compared with 156,800 contracts at the end of 2025. Growth in the contract portfolio helped drive a significant increase in revenue and profitability during the period. Group operating revenue, which excludes vehicle sales, rose by 19.9% year-on-year to €157.7 million, while total group revenue increased by 22.6% to €238.5 million. The company also reported an improvement in earnings, with earnings before taxes (EBT) rising to €5.6 million from €3.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Operating return on sales improved to 3.6%, compared with 2.9% a year earlier. Commenting on the results, Eckart Klumpp, CEO of Allane SE, said: “In the first quarter of 2026, we benefited above all from the continued strong business development in the Captive Leasing segment – supported by the continued positive development of the used car market. “As a result, we were able to achieve growth in all key performance indicators. On the basis of this development, we are confirming our forecast for the year as a whole.” The company said growth was driven primarily by the continued expansion of its captive leasing activities, which remain a key focus area for the business. Alongside higher leasing revenues linked to portfolio growth, Allane also benefited from increased activity in vehicle remarketing. Revenue generated from the sale of lease returns and fleet management customer vehicles increased by 28.3% year-on-year to €80.7 million. At the profitability level, EBITDA increased by 17.0% to €112.5 million, reflecting both portfolio growth and the ongoing strength of used vehicle values. The strong first-quarter performance has led the management board to reaffirm its full-year guidance for 2026. Allane expects its contract portfolio to reach between 170,000 and 185,000 contracts by the end of the year, representing further growth on the current level of 164,600 contracts. The group is forecasting operating revenue of between €670 million and €720 million for the full year, compared with €574.7 million achieved in 2025. For earnings before taxes, management expects a range of €25 million to €35 million, compared with €33.7 million reported last year.
