Societe Generale Equipment Finance 2012 We have demonstrated that we can deliver high added value services, optimize use of scarce resources and achieve good business results in a complex environment. In 2012, according to preliminary results from Leaseurope s annual survey, overall new business in Europe remained stable to EUR 225bn. But the European leasing environment remains complex, while some segments are performing well, others are facing difficulties. In the United States, the equipment finance volume has returned to pre-recession levels and the 2012 estimate for this market is USD 725 billion* (EUR 552bn). In China, the leasing industry generated impressive results with a 66% increase and total trade volume for the year reaching RMB 1.5 trillion (EUR 186bn) despite the global economic crisis**. In this context, we have been strengthening our leading position in our key markets thanks to the sound relationships built over the years with partners; while at the same time, we ve been adapting our business mix and operating model and increasing external funding. In 2012, we generated a NBV of EUR 9.6bn, evenly spread across our main industry sectors, and the value of our end-managed assets reached more than EUR 22.3bn. We were recognised as the European Lessor of the Year and SME Champion of the Year at the Leasing Life Awards in November, in Barcelona, Spain. Our subsidiary, PEMA, which provides full-service truck and trailer rental in 9 European countries, had a very successful year. With a fleet of more than 17,000 vehicles at the end of 2012, PEMA is one of Europe s leading commercial-vehicle rental companies. High demand in this sector resulted in a rise of about 10% in PEMA s number of vehicles rented at the end of the year. This corresponds to an alltime peak of 92% in the rental rate. In 2013, SGEF will continue to adapt its business activity to the new environment which will continue to be impacted by the reinforcement of regulations and financial constraints.
