Grenkeleasing has reported year-on-year new business growth of 12.4% in the first nine months of 2013 to €720.3m.

Over two thirds of the company’s leasing business was generated outside of Germany, with €485.2m in international business and a further €18.2m generated through international franchisees. The remaining €216.9m was generated in the company’s domestic German market.

Grenkeleasing’s contribution margin – a measure of profitability – was €137.9m, compared to €125.3m for the same period in 2012. The company also reported a conversion rate for applications of 41%, with 39% conversion in international markets and 48% conversion in Germany.

Over the same period, new business for Grenke Group, which includes factoring and start-up finance business, rose 16.7% to €851.8m, split between just under two thirds in international business and just over one third in the domestic market.

Wolfgang Grenke, chairman of the board at Grenkeleasing, said the new business growth meant the company was "fully on track" for full year growth of between 13% and 16%. He said the combination of the "positive trend" in Germany with already high penetration had given a "very favourable result", and said 16.6% growth in Western Europe was "primarily driven by France and Switzerland."
