Leaseurope releases its 12th Ranking of Top European Leasing Companies

Leaseurope is pleased to announce the release of its twelfth consecutive Ranking of Top
European Leasing Companies. The purpose of the Ranking is to provide a yearly update
on new leasing volumes and portfolios of the largest leasing firms in Europe.
These companies are located in 25 different countries including both EU and non-EU
member states. The firms are members of the 44 member associations represented by
Leaseurope which in turn represent over 1 300 leasing companies accounting for
approximately 92% of the entire European leasing market in 2012.
This year, 87 companies participated in this exercise. Of these firms, 69 are parent or
stand-alone companies (bank related, captive or independent leasing companies) and
18 are classified as subsidiaries. These firms are ranked according to the value of their
new contracts in 2012. The figures are shown in the attached tables, on a consolidated
basis covering the parent and stand-alone companies only.
Parent and stand-alone companies in the Ranking Survey reported new leasing volumes
of almost 132 billion, with an average contract size (all asset types considered
together) of 39 447. The total volumes reported in the survey represent 52% of all
leasing business written in Europe in 2012.1 The top 20 parent and stand-alone
companies accounted for almost 43% of the total value of new contracts granted in
Europe for 2012 and 27 companies reported new volumes of over 1 billion.
Leaseurope attempts to present an accurate representation of the Ranking figures.
However, this exercise is not exhaustive as, while all European leasing firms are invited
to take part in the survey, participation is on a voluntary basis. The full version of the
Ranking is available to Leaseurope members and participating leasing firms only.

According to Leaseuropes 2012 Annual Statistical Enquiry, total new business volumes granted
in Europe during the year reached 253 billion.
