Leaseurope Index
The Leaseurope Index is a unique quarterly survey of European leasing companies tracking financial KPIs in addition to volumes and portfolios.
Quarterly survey
The Leaseurope Index Quarterly survey tracks aggregate European level financial performance indicators four times per year, providing an up-to-date look at the financial health of the leasing sector in Europe.
Segment survey
In addition to the regular quarterly report, Leaseurope publishes a more detailed supplement, namely the Segment Survey. This annual report shows aggregate financial KPI ratios for each of four asset types, namely equipment, real estate, passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
View from the industry
Stefan Davidsson, Executive Vice President of DNB Finans, commented
"On the back of strong growth in previous years, the first half of 2024 showed some increasing headwinds for European lessors. Macroeconomic uncertainties and prolonged weakness in business investment are impacting indicators like profitability and cost/income ratios in Q2 2024. However, the ECB’s third interest rate cut this year, along with a continued drop in inflation, may support a gradual recovery in business investment as projected in the latest European Economic Forecast. With this forecast, together with a steady increase in the use of leasing, lessors should be prepared to leverage on opportunities within a challenging business environment.”
About the Leaseurope Index
The Leaseurope Index is the only survey that tracks trends in key performance indicators for the leasing sector at European level. A representative sample of large pan-European leasing companies report their figures for each indicator to Leaseurope, which aggregates the results on a confidential basis. Due to the aggregate nature, no inferences can be made about any individual company’s performance based on published data. The sample represents a significant share of the total European leasing market and is broadly representitive in terms of geographic and asset coverage, including general leasing companies, automotive lessors, captive equipment vendors etc.
