Ayvens

Eight months ago, I became CEO of Ayvens. A role that, looking back at 28 years in the #automotive industry, feels like a natural next step. Today, I want to share with you where we stand. H1 2026 results confirm our strategic direction. The used car market is going through an expected #normalisation following an exceptionally strong period last year. However, our margin improvements and cost discipline helped offset the impact of the used car market’s decline. Our Group net income is up by 4.7% vs H1 2025, our return on tangible equity (ROTE) has reached 14.1%, and our cost-to-income ratio has attained 52.1%. These results confirm we are on track to achieve our 2026 financial targets. Commercially, our focus remains on growing profitable channels/segments. Our order book grew 17% year-on-year, reaching its highest level in two years. That gives me confidence in our return to fleet growth in H2 2026. Behind these results are the #people of Ayvens across 40 countries, whose dedication and commitment made this possible. The market environment remains demanding. The #EV transition is accelerating but uneven. Geopolitical and regulatory pressure is intensifying and changing how businesses think about mobility and cost. My conviction is that staying close to our clients, executing with discipline, and growing with purpose is how we continue to set the standard. We are almost at the end of the #PowerUp2026 cycle. On 21st September in London, I will present what comes next, a new strategic plan, thus a new chapter for Ayvens and the future of mobility. #HalfYearResults2026 #StrategicPlan #BetterWithEveryMove

📣 H1 2026 Results: Higher margins, lower costs, and solid returns on track with our 2026 financial targets. Ayvens delivered solid H1 2026 results, supported by continued margin improvement and lower operating costs in a market environment impacted by the ongoing normalisation of used-car values. Our underlying leasing and services margin reached 596 bps, up from 557 bps in H1 2025. At the same time, operating expenses decreased by 9.5% compared to H1 2025, contributing to a further improvement in our underlying cost-to-income ratio, which reached 52.1%, compared with 57.8% in H1 2025. As a result, Group net income increased by 4.7% compared with H1 2025, on track with our 2026 financial targets. Thank you to our teams across the world whose dedication continues to drive our performance forward. #HalfYearResults2026 #BetterWithEveryMove

🤔To lease or not to lease? The question comes up much earlier than it used to. As car prices rise and consumers look for more #flexibility, predictable costs and fewer surprises, more people are comparing all their options from the start. In fact, 49% of consumers already have a positive view of leasing, and one in four are considering it for their next vehicle. 🎥 In the first episode of our "LeasingVsBuying" series, Olivier Theron shares what we're hearing from consumers across Europe, and why leasing is becoming part of the conversation earlier than ever. #LeasingVSBuying #MobilityTrends #ConsumerInsights

🌈 Nobody should have to leave part of themselves at the door to come to work. Throughout June, our colleagues across Ayvens marked #PrideMonth with workshops, open conversations, and moments of connection with our Pride & Allies community. 🏳️🌈🤝 We heard personal stories. We learned things we didn’t know. Conversations that, honestly, deserve to happen more than once a year. #PrideMonth is over. What it’s about isn’t. Feeling respected, and free to be yourself, shouldn’t come with an expiry date. 👏Thank you to everyone who showed up, spoke up, and made space for someone else’s story this month. #Belonging #Diversity #Inclusion
