    Caroline Parot, CEO of Europcar Mobility Group , declared:

    "Over the quarter, the Group continued to successfully roll out its BU roadmap, with significant progress in both footprint and results for Vans & Trucks, as well as another very strong quarter in terms of revenue growth for Urban Mobility. In addition to this, the finalization of our expansion in the US, biggest mobility market in the world, will create strong growth opportunities in leisure, while enhancing our offer to our B2B customers.

    Impacted by a degraded environment in Europe, with the Brexit situation and a global economic slowdown, our third-quarter performance was characterized by weaker than expected leisure demand and declining B2B volumes, hence increased headwinds from pricing. All these factors, which weigh on our revenue and profitability, have led us to revise our guidance for the full year.

    Against this backdrop, the Group Management Board & Executive Committee have decided to accelerate the implementation of its cost efficiency programs: HQ 2020, Network Optimization and Digital Stations, with at least €60m gross savings generation by end 2020. In addition to this, a strong financial discipline will allow us to rapidly adapt to a changing environment, with cash flow generation and margin improvement focus.

    The group is profoundly engaged in its digital transformation journey, focusing on clients, growing its core business (vehicle rental and urban mobility) and developing Corporate segments. I am confident that the adaptation measures we are implementing, combined with the resilient nature of our business model, already producing positive effects as of 2019, will further improve our margin in 2020, while SHIFT 2023 will drive long-term growth and cash flow generation.”

    Europcar Mobility Group brings forward the publication of its Q3 2019 results, initially planned for November 7th, and reviews its annual guidance.

    Q3 2019 Business Highlights:

    1. The Group’s operations in the UK and Ireland particularly suffered from the increased economic uncertainties which stemmed from the Brexit situation, amounting for c.45% of the Adjusted Corporate EBITDA1decrease i.e. €10m versus Q3 2018.
    2. In the context of a global economic slowdown impacting most European countries, the market faced a lower-than-expected volumes demand, hence higher price pressure in all leisure destinations while B2B volumes were negatively impacted by travel bans in large corporate customers mostly starting end of August.
    3. While the Group took immediate operational mitigating actions (fleet optimization to stabilize utilization rates and customer acquisition investments to stimulate and capture volumes), these trends impacted its profitability, mostly in September.
    4. However, a strong resilience, thanks to the flexibility of the Group’s business model and the early effect of structural savings measures and synergies. As a result, Europcar Mobility Group showed 8% decrease only in Adjusted Corporate EBITDA1 to €226m versus last year.
    5. Over the period, the group continues to record a strong performance in Urban Mobility, a structural growth business, with revenue up c.+50%, thanks to Paris city contract progressive ramp-up since July. In addition, the BU continues its development in car-sharing with the franchise model. This demonstrates the growth potential of the car sharing business and its non-exposure to seasonality effects.
    6. Europcar Mobility Group’s Q3 results demonstrate again a strong financial discipline, achieving a €86m decrease in Corporate net debt since June 30, 2019.
    7. To continue its swift adaptation to the environment with higher agility and greater margin protection capacity as of Q4 2019, the Group is accelerating its cost savings and efficiency programs:
      • Roll-out of HQ 2020, with a broadened scope of optimization levers.
      • Network optimization in terms of processes, sizes, locations and formats.
      • Deployment of our Digital Stations program.
      1. At least €60m gross savings generation by end 2020
        In addition, strong review of the Group’s Urban Mobility path to profitability with the adequate brands portfolio.
    8. Pursue of the SHIFT 2023 execution with:
    • Significant deliveries of strategic programs (first Click&Go platform, connected vehicles ramp-up, redesign of customer relations platform…)
    • Upgrade the Group’s Tech capabilities (creation of product organization functions, appointment of a CTO coming from the Tech world)
    • Enlarged footprint:
      • Strategic acquisition of Fox-Rent-A-Car in the US, the largest mobility market in the world (completion in the course of Q4), and last transformational M&A.

    This US acquisition will enable strong development prospects for the Group corporate and leisure businesses, given their strong upside potential both in terms of inbound and outbound flows

    • Integration of the Nordic franchisees

    Europcar Mobility Group will release its FY 2019 results on February 25, 2020 and will as usual communicate on its 2020 guidance.

    Mid-term prospects

    As presented in SHIFT2023, the Group we will reinforce its Corporate Sales footprint with initiatives detailed in our SHIFT 2023 strategic plan offering a wide range of Mobility solutions to our customers.

    The group launched three strategic programs focused on efficiency improvement initiatives and self-help measures around HQs and Network that will drive long-term growth and cash flow generation.

    • HQ 2020 program targeting the Group’s globalization and standardization of organization by functions, throughout businesses and countries: UK perimeter already launched, real-estate review, German integration, centers of excellence development, cross-BUs and territories integration.This program is on track and will already deliver €10m gross savings in 2019 and € 20m more in 2020.
    • Digital Stations”, building on top of the Click & Go investment in 2019 and on our earlier experience of connected fleet in Ubeeqo, Goldcar and Europcar: expected gross savings are €10m in 2020 and €20m in 2021.
    • Network Optimization (processes, size, location and formats): expected gross savings are €20m in 2020 and €10m in 2021.

    Those three programs are in progress and the Group expects at least €60m gross savings generation by end 2020

    A) Activity & Margin after variable costs in the third quarter and first 9 months 2019

    At constant perimeter, the core business excluding Urban Mobility reported stable revenue during Q3, while total revenue increased by +2.1% to € 1 008m in Q3 2019 on a reported basis.

    This evolution results from soft leisure trends and a deterioration of corporate business volumes, from late August. This drop in volumes is mainly driven by large customers travel freeze which was not offset by growth in other Corporate segments (small and medium-sized enterprises and car replacement). In the third quarter 2019, Corporate segment traditionally represents c.30% of Group’s rental revenues.

    Volumes trends led to an increased pricing competitive environment, with a direct effect on the Group’s ability to absorb higher fleet costs (upgraded fleet mix, more CO2 emission taxation and some adverse damage effects).

    To manage this softening situation the Group activated:

    • Customer acquisition plans through its different distribution channels to offset weak volumes trends, resulting in higher customer acquisition costs than the previous year (+6% i.e. €8m vs third quarter 2018).
    • Accelerated fleet optimization in all its BUs, reflected in a well-managed utilization rate at 80.0%, stable versus 80.3% in Q3 2018.

    As a result, margin after variable costs amounted to €456m, down 3.8% in Q3 2019 versus €474m in Q3 2018, leading to a 2.7 point decrease in margin to 45.2%.

    UK & Irish perimeters alone explain c.45% of the margin after variable cost decrease vs prior year.

    BU Cars generated €716m total revenue down -0.6%, at constant exchange rates and perimeter.

    The BU continues to record revenue growth in leisure segments (+2.6% at constant perimeter, 3.1% volumes,-0.5% RPD), with volume growth every month. Adverse pricing effects were limited over the period, thanks to the BU Low Cost enabling large range of pricing management.

    On the B2B segment, the BU Cars suffered from a significant revenue decline (-4.2% at constant perimeter versus last year) on the back of:

    • The current lengthy Brexit withdrawal process which weighs negatively on the performance of the Group’s UK perimeter with detrimental impacts on the national business environment; and
    • The travel freeze from end-August in key accounts in several countries (UK, Germany and France in particular).
    • The voluntary and beneficial action of exiting few low-profitable large corporate accounts in the UK and Germany, in order to protect profitability.

    The Group reacted extremely rapidly to the lower activity in the Corporate segment by focusing more on the Leisure segment but with an inevitable greater customers’ acquisition cost.

    The BU efficiently managed the fleet utilization over the period, while suffering from higher fleet costs per unit (upgraded fleet mix to serve customer demand, but also some costs increase due to higher tax on vehicles) not being passed to customers due to the soft pricing environment. Therefore Europcar Mobility Group reported a margin after variable costs of €327m for the BU Cars in Q3 2019, leading to a -1.5 point decrease to a 45.7% margin compared to Q3 2018.

    At constant exchange rates and perimeter, the BU delivered a solid +8.9% total revenue growth to €97m in the third quarter 2019, driven by a robust +11.7% increase in rental days and a -3.3% decrease in RPD, mainly linked to longer duration and mix effect between corporate and leisure segments.

    This performance illustrates the success of the strategy of focusing on corporate / SME customers through longer rental duration, and the deployment of new supersites in our main countries.

    In the third quarter 2019, the Group reported a stable margin after variable costs to €40m compared to Q3 2018 and a 3.7 point decrease to 41.5% margin, mainly on the back of some higher damages and maintenance in the fleet operating costs.

    * 2018 after minor reclassification for the interrent business

    BU Low Cost posted a 2.4% decline in revenue in Q3 to €170m at constant exchange rates and perimeter. This reflected an exacerbated pricing competition in Spain and Italy during the summer (RPD for the BU was down 4.2%) while volumes in rental days were up +2.8%. In new countries like Turkey, Greece and Croatia, the BU reported a solid revenue growth of +46% in Q3 2019 and YTD.

    Europcar Mobility Group reported a Margin after variable costs (MAVC) of €81m for the BU Low Cost in Q3 2019, down 6%, leading to a 1.8 point decrease to a 47.6% margin compared to Q3 2018. However, the synergy programs that have been engaged are well on track, and have allowed this business unit to report an increase in its Corporate EBITDA vs last year on both Q3 and YTD, with the highest profitability of the Group.

    The Urban Mobility business unit showed strong momentum with c.+50% revenue growth over the third quarter.

    Group’s vehicle sharing business (Ubeeqo) saw its revenue grow by +46% vs Q3 2018. Key drivers of the growth remain improving utilization rates as well as growing corporate customers’ portfolios.

    The Group continued to accelerate the scale up of its Urban Mobility business through the increase of its fleet capacity and ability to attract new customers, offering an attractive alternative to car ownership in cities. Since July 2019, Ubeeqo has been massively scaling up its fleet in the French capital, as it started the implementation of the new carsharing contract signed with the Paris City hall, and has planned to provide close to 1,100 vehicles before the end of the year, with an official launch of the new service planned during November.

    In Berlin, the BU has launched and is scaling up a new van sharing offer. Simultaneously, the BU Urban Mobility is developing Corporate car-sharing in that country where it has already signed 2 important new deals.

    This business unit contributed for €(5)m at the Group’s MAVC in the third quarter 2019.

    As part of its ramp-up strategy, Ubeeqo is already profitable in 2 cities and is working to improve its path to profitability at BU level over the next year, notably with the development of a franchisee model.

    On the ride-hailing part, the UK-based Brunel activity suffered from the B2B depressed environment and is under strategic review.

    B) Adjusted Corporate EBITDA in the third quarter 2019

    Adjusted Corporate EBITDA in Q3 2019

    On a reported basis, margin after variable costs for the BUs amounted to €456m down €18m (down €13m excluding Urban Mobility) versus Q3 2018 as described above.

    The Group’s network costs increased by €12m (out of which 25% comes from Finland and Norway integration) over the period, mainly driven by volume growth over the season, minimum wages increase in some countries and to a lesser extent real-estate inflation and some supersites development for the Vans & Trucks BU.

    Those increases are nevertheless mitigated by the first effects of the cost reduction programs of the HQ2020 perimeter for c.€7m and despite perimeter effect.

    This lead to an Adjusted Corporate EBITDA (excluding the impact of Urban Mobility) amounted to €226m down 8.3% at constant exchange rates over the quarter and €218m including Urban Mobility.

    As the conclusion of the above, the Group recorded a limited decrease of its Adjusted Corporate EBITDA:

    • Down €10m on the UK and Ireland perimeter
    • Down €11m on the back of a softened momentum on volumes and pricing, partly mitigated by self-help measures and cost cutting actions.
    • Down €3m investments in Urban Mobility as part of the year-end planning to sustain continuous growth (c.+50% revenue growth)

    This clearly demonstrates a strong reaction capacity of the Group and the resilience of the business model even when facing headwinds during peak season.

    C) First 9 months 2019 results

    • Revenue was up +1.3% to €2,315m on a reported basis
    • Adjusted Corporate EBITDA declined by 10.8% to €249m
    • Net financing costs (IFRS)

    Net financing costs under IFRS amounted to a €133m net expense as of September 30, 2019, up +11% compared to a net expense of €120m incurred in 2018,the main reason for this increase being the one off costs related to the Group’s successful corporate refinancing achieved in April 2019.

    • Non-recurring results

    The group reported a €(41)m loss for non-recurring items compared to a proforma of €(28)m (excluding the €68m proceed of Car2Go last year). Non-recurring costs this year are mainly led by restructuring projects engaged in the whole perimeter – as planned - and network optimization.

    • Net income

    As of September 30, 2019 the Group posted a net profit of €68m compared to last year’s net profit of €100m in 2018 when excluding for the impact of the one off gain generated from the sale of the company’s stake in Car2Go. Including IFRS 16, the Group posted a net profit of €60m as of September 30, 2019.

    Corporate Free Cash flow & corporate net debt for the first 9 months 2019

    • Corporate Free Cash Flow

    Corporate Free Cash Flow at the end of September 2019 reached €109m compared to €167m over the same period last year. The main reasons for that change were (1) a 13.5% decrease in Adjusted Corporate EBITDA; (2) the higher level of non-recurring expenses in order to deliver the cost optimization programs on the Group’s network of stations and headquarters, (3) a higher planned level of non-fleet capex to sustain the Group’s digital transformation: Click&Go first release in early June, digital distribution (e-commerce platforms enhancement), Connected cars programs…).

    • Corporate Net debt

    Corporate net debt reached €851m as of September 30th, 2019. This includes the acquisition of the Group’s Nordic franchisees in Norway and Finland for €38m, the share buy-back program launched in December 2018 for €41m, the dividend payment for €39m and around €15m expenses for the 2020 bond redemption / new bond.

    Europcar Mobility Group’s Q3 results again demonstrate a strong financial discipline, achieving a €86m decrease in Corporate net debt since June 30, 2019 versus a €58m decrease for the same period last year.

    The Group’s corporate net leverage stood at 3.0x at the end of September 2019.

    Appendix 1 – Summary of IFRS 16 impacts

    IFRS 16 is the new standard on leases, with first application on January 1, 2019.

    All leases contracts are accounted for in the balance sheet through an asset representing the “Right of Use” of the leased asset along the contract duration, and the corresponding liability, representing the lease payments obligation.

    Europcar Mobility Group is using the simplified retrospective method, according to which there is no restatement of comparative periods.

    Main impacts on 2019 consolidated statements are the following:
