We aim to support you through more than just your current investment project: We know your markets, your industries, your investment assets and your financing requirements. You benefit from this know-how – also through our goal of serving you long-term, whether in Germany or elsewhere: We want to be your asset finance partner. For over 50 years, we have provided our SME customers with reliable advice for their investment projects – this increasingly involves combined financing and service concepts. We can offer this because our product portfolio allows flexibility and because we think in terms of solutions. With our own network of branch offices and through our relationship with the savings banks and the federal state banks, we have a nationwide presence in Germany. In addition, we recognised early on that medium-sized companies are aiming to operate in international markets. We have been active outside Germany for more than 20 years. Our foreign network covers subsidiaries in 22 countries – from America via Europe to Asia. In the past year, we have strengthened our strategic orientation and “Deutsche Leasing’s strategic positioning as an asset finance partner offers tangible benefits for German medium-sized companies. All of the business units of Deutsche Leasing support this clear focus.” Kai Ostermann Chief Executive Officer prepared for future challenges. We have done so to ensure that we remain a reliable partner for you even in a volatile economic environment. The confidence which our SME customers and partners placed in us in the past year is also reflected in our results: Despite the German Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Our company economy’s restrained investment activities, the Deutsche Leasing EUR Group increased its volume of new business to EUR 7.8 billion (previous year: EUR 7.2 billion) and developed positively. 7.8 5 billion New business in 2013 This growth is broad-based and is supported by our various segments, above all information and communication technology which realised growth of 22 per cent. This was helped through several major business transactions for hardware and a large number of software projects. The machinery and equipment segment also achieved growth (6 per cent) and is our largest business segment, with a share of 51 per cent of overall new business. With a total volume of new business growth of 8 per cent for the “The Deutsche Leasing Group offers a broad-based product range in national and international markets. This poses tough requirements for our risk management strategy. Our customers benefit from our opportunity-oriented risk-policy.” Deutsche Leasing Group, we have consolidated our leading market position in Germany and have further established ourselves as a leading leasing provider in Europe. At EUR 139 million, the economic result – a recognised general per- Friedrich Jüngling Management Board member formance indicator for leasing firms – matched the high level of the previous year. Deutsche Leasing has thus exceeded its target income level. Accordingly, besides making appropriate distributions we have realised a large volume of future investments as well as substantially reinforcing our equity. Our investments have also performed strongly in the financial year 2012-13. As of the end of September 2013, S-Kreditpartner GmbH – which is now a partner for considerably more than 300 savings banks and around 2,000 dealers in the car and leisure vehicle sector – had increased its volume of loans to around EUR 3.4 billion. With a volume of receivables of approx. EUR 14 billion, Bad Homburger Inkasso GmbH is one of the market leaders Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 EUR 139 Economic result million Our company 6 EUR 14 in Germany in processing bad loans and handling the market-oriented re- billion sale of mobile and real estate collateral. volume of receivables Our most recently acquired investment, Universal Factoring GmbH, which we purchased in June 2012, is also set for growth. Adjusted in line with the financial year of Deutsche Leasing, as of the end of September 2013 factoring turnover exceeded EUR 1.5 billion. Universal Factoring realised a particularly high level of growth through “S-Compact Factoring”, a small-ticket product specially developed for the savings banks’ trade and smaller corporate customers which realised growth of 38 per cent on the previous year. As a partner in the SparkassenFinanzgruppe, Universal Factoring focuses in particular on cooperation with the savings banks. Through Universal Factoring, Deutsche Leasing supplements its range of SME-oriented products and services and offers comprehensive financing solutions as an all-round provider. We would like to thank our customers, our business partners in “German medium-sized companies operate internationally. For more than 20 years Deutsche Leasing has reliably assisted its vendor partners and customers with their export financing and foreign investments – in 22 countries.” Matthias Laukin Management Board member the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe and elsewhere – and naturally also the employees of Deutsche Leasing worldwide. We intend to maintain this successful strategy for Deutsche Leasing in the financial year 2013/14. We have done much to lay the foundations for this: We have optimised our range of smaller investments of up to EUR 500,000 as well as ma- jor individual projects for our customers, and we have developed specialised support concepts for both of these segments. We also intend to further internationalise our business with the savings banks, thus accompanying their customers on their journeys into foreign markets. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Our company We have also further improved our asset competence, since we aim to continuously build on our understanding of the business “The savings banks and their customers benefit in equal measure from our knowhow and our broad range of products – now including debt management.“ sectors and business models of our customers and partners as well as those of the savings banks – in other words, your future.

Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 9 A modern merchandise management system for the traditional Saarland firm “Globus”: Its new fully-integrated software package enables optimisation of processes and thus greater customer satisfaction. The payment terminals in Globus’ Drive pick-up stores are also integrated in the system. Our company 10 “We were looking for an experienced partner” More experience: 1.1 As a family firm “Globus” has existed since 1828; SB-Warenhaus Holding has served as its lessee for the past four years. Thus, for its first financing asset – a new merchandise management system – this company was looking for a partner with particular expertise. In early 2008, Globus decided to introduce a new merchandise management system. Previ- “Software projects are often a bit tricky. You have to know what really counts, and that takes a lot of experience. Clear communication is important for the working relationship – that worked very well with Globus.” ously, this type of investment was financed through the company’s cash flow. However, since foreign investments and renovation activities were also scheduled, the firm sought out a worthwhile financing alternative. “We saw the value of leasing,” says Globus’ Head of Finance, Christian Heins. “Flexibility and experience were key for our choice of partner.” The fact that Deutsche Leasing had already successfully cooperated with the IT service provider Matthias Herzig Key Account Manager IT & Communication Deutsche Leasing which created this merchandise management system was a clinching factor for the decision-makers at Globus. “Software projects are complex, and the right choice of financing partner is critical” 1.2 More of a focus on solutions: Intangible assets are a particular challenge for lessors: What level of equity investment is necessary? Which benefits to offer in case of a contract? Large SAP software packages in particular require considerable expertise on the part of advisors. EUR +30 million fine-tuning to data migration: The development of a new merchandise A total investment volume of more than EUR 30 million in two tranches. Deutsche Leasing From preparatory and development activities via a huge volume of ANNUAL REPORT management system involves a large number of individual activities which make leasing planning a complicated venture. “Our customers can rely on a high level of expertise drawn from an extensive range of software 2012 13 Our company projects,” says Key Account Manager Matthias Herzig. “In case of complex software project requirements, we can also act as advisors.” This involves more than just technical expertise and project management – large investments are also at stake. As the centre of leasing excellence of Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, Deutsche Leasing provided more than EUR 30 million in two “Large SAP projects always involve a few surprises. We needed a partner who keeps a clear head.” tranches. Deutsche Leasing can handle even major projects. In the case of Globus, together with its financing partners in the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe. The first software module was leased in January 2012, and in the spring of 2013 development activities had been completed and the rollout could begin. Christian Heins Head of Finance Globus SB-Warenhaus Holding “We have discovered the value of leasing” More flexibility: 1.3 Developing a software package is one thing. Its rollout in more than 60 markets is something else entirely. Teamwork is essential in this critical phase. The larger the investment volume, the higher the level of risk – and the more complex the project, the more sensitive the schedule. It was crucial to find a partner “who keeps a clear head even if the odd requirement changes in the course of the project,” says Heins. Globus was able to rely not only on the high level of flexibility but also the expert advice provided by Deutsche Leasing’s manager Matthias Herzig. This in turn hinged on transparent and reliable communication from the customer, to enable consultation with the financing partners in case of delays. “That only works on the basis of a trusting relationship,” Herzig notes. “And we have that.” Now that the changeover has been successfully completed for all 46 German department stores, the markets in Russia +60 and the Czech Republic will follow next by the end of June. markets The new system is fully integrated and all information can be directly viewed online. “That is hugely helpful for deci- Besides a total of 46 SB-Warenhaus department stores, 77 DIY superstores, two Drive stations and nine consumer electronics stores in Germany, the Globus Group also includes 21 all-round stores in the Czech Republic and Russia and two DIY superstores in Luxembourg. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT sion-making in terms of operative business,” says Heins. His overall verdict is clearly positive: “We have discovered the benefits of leasing.” The relationship is set to continue: The firm’s in-house bakeries will now be fitted out with state-ofthe-art baking technology. 2012 13 11 12 Our company Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 More than just financing 13 2.0 Due to our broad range of industry and asset expertise we are able to offer each of our customers an optimal solution – which not infrequently surprises even professionals. Stunning culinary creations in a space of just 27 square metres: The “Foodtruck” is self-sufficient and thus available for any event – from wine-tasting to an eight-course meal. 14 Our company “We believed in this idea” 2.1 More cooperation: Their close relationship enables the savings banks and Deutsche Leasing to identify the appropriate investment solution for every project. When Erten Tekçe approached Stadtsparkasse Bad Honnef in 2011, he was actually only looking for a loan to support his unusual catering idea: He was planning to convert an Airstream motorhome – often used as a snack van in the USA – into a mobile professional kitchen. Together with a team of gourmet chefs, confectioners and sommeliers, this hotel and “Many other financial service providers have a sceptical view of catering ideas, but Deutsche Leasing had courage – and my business partners demonstrated a huge amount of personal commitment.” PR graduate intended to serve luxury meals instead of hotdogs. “I hadn’t thought of leasing,” says Tekçe. But Axel Scheidhauer, Deputy Head of Corporate Customers at Stadtsparkasse Bad Honnef, saw the potential of “Geschmacksführer GmbH” and brought Jürgen Hilkhausen on board. As the Regional Head of Savings Banks and SMEs, Hilkhausen had already managed a large number of projects for Deutsche Leasing – and he was immediately convinced by Tekçe’s original proposal: “This is a one-off in Germany. We believed in this Erten Tekçe Managing Director Geschmacksführer GmbH & Co. KG idea.” “I was immediately convinced by the project’s flexibility” 2.2 More passion: Transportation, finishing and completion, conversion and licensing: As a project close to our heart, “Foodtruck” required solid planning, real craftsmanship and a feel for quality. This meant that flexibility was also a prerequisite for the financing partners. State-of-the-art technology which can be installed on a modular basis in a space of just 27 square metres: Customisation of the Airstream imported from the USA required not only catering expertise but also technical know-how and, not least, business savvy. “We wouldn’t have trusted just anyone with this. But Mr Tekçe is a professional. He knows his industry and knows what he is doing,” says Scheidhauer. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Our company 01 It was important for Tekçe to be able to freely dispose of the investment volume of EUR 250,000. “I was immediately convinced by the flexibility of INQUIRY hire-purchase,” Tekçe remembers. “Every step of the way, I was able to select the best service provider – that is only possible if you are able to 02 make spontaneous decisions.” The model selected offered more than just this advantage: Because these investments were included in the pre-fi- QUOTATION nancing phase, Tekçe didn’t have to worry about repayments before he had launched his business. 03 “A different form of financing would have involved commitment interest,” CREDIT RATING CHECK Hilkhausen says. Following one-and-a-half years of planning, transportation from overseas and 800 hours invested in polishing the external skin 04 alone, in September 2013, the “Foodtruck” was handed over in a ceremony in front of Castle Drachenburg. “This was an extraordinary project,” CONTRACT Hilkhausen comments. “It deserved a special handover ceremony.” 05 DELIVERY 06 START OF LEASING “The ‘Foodtruck’ project continues” 2.3 More mobility: The “Foodtruck” passed its dress rehearsal at the Königswinter Christmas market and its MOT approval in the spring of 2014. Geschmacksführer’s project has now started its second round. With a griddle, a combination steamer and professional “We are delighted that this innovative concept and Mr Tekçe’s passion convinced not only us but also our group partner Deutsche Leasing.” Axel Scheidhauer Deputy Head of Corporate Customers Stadtsparkasse Bad Honnef kitchen appliances, flying buffets, finger food and even eight-course meals can be prepared for up to 60 guests in the motorhome – the trailer can operate fully independently for up to eight hours at a time using integrated gas and water tanks. Now that the first few events have been successfully completed, Tekçe, Scheidhauer and Hilkhausen are planning their next joint project: A major aluminium manufacturer which produces the external skin for the Airstream series would like to operate a “Foodtruck” as its canteen. Tekçe is looking for a second model to be installed on the company’s site, while the original continues its culinary travels around Germany. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 15 16 Our company More than just Germany 3.0 Since our customers’ business models are increasingly globalised, Deutsche Leasing has offices in 23 countries – enabling us to provide expert support for all of our customers also outside Germany. The car parts supplier Eberspächer and Deutsche Leasing have long acted as a strong team in Germany. They have now expanded their successful relationship internationally, with a new production plant in Sweden. (Picture shows the Neunkirchen site.) Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 17 18 Our company “We know and trust each other” 3.1 More of a customer focus: Realisation of major investment projects depends on a trusting relationship between advisors and their customers. However, to succeed together, a partner must be able to rely on one thing above all else: a comprehensive service without limits. Michael Schwab has supervised South Germany’s Eberspächer Group for three years now as a Key Account Manager. With 67 sites in 27 countries, “Our expectations in terms of our customarily solid relationship in Germany were entirely fulfilled in Sweden. We were impressed with Deutsche Leasing’s flexible and rapid realisation of this financing project – also at the international level.” Harald Rosenberger Vice President Corporate Finance Eberspächer Group Eberspächer produces and supplies car parts worldwide. “We know and trust each other,” says Schwab. When Eberspächer planned financing for a new production plant in Sweden, it decided to work with Deutsche Leasing not only because of their “customarily solid relationship”. The deciding factor was that its partner was already present in the country through its subsidiary Deutsche Leasing Sverige. “We recognised early on that German medium-sized companies are increasingly active at the international level,” says Schwab. “For over 20 years now, Deutsche Leasing has therefore also been present in other countries. Our internationally-oriented customers benefit from this.” “Different rules apply in Sweden” More competence: 3.2 Technical expertise, transparency and communication are key for every successful financing package – especially for foreign investments. A press working line and modern robotics and welding technology: The Swedish production plant involved investments running into the tens of millions. This was not the only challenge which already emerged at the start of the project: Not much time was left up to the planned launch, since Eberspächer required these capacities for timely completion of existing orders. There was also a peculiarity of Swedish tax law; sale-and-leaseback contracts have to be put out to tender 45 days before the leasing firm acquires ownership of the asset. “We factored this in from the very Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Our company beginning,” Michael Schwab emphasises. To realise the tight schedule, he got all of the experts at Eberspächer and Deutsche Leasing together around a table early on. This enabled prompt clarification of detailed issues and efficient allocation of internal tasks. “For major projects, seamless organisation is essential.” “Particularly for foreign financing arrangements, a large number of details have to be considered. The roundtable which brought all of the experts together at the start of the project made many things easier.” Michael Schwab Key Account Manager Deutsche Leasing “We are strategic partners” More cooperation: 3.3 The production plant went online in the summer of 2013, with a two-day party which representatives of Deutsche Leasing attended. This international project has now entered into its second phase. Thanks to their intensive cooperation and the Swedish colleagues’ local expertise, the team was able to fulfil the extremely tight schedule. Production has been underway in Nyköping for several months now. “We have been able to build on the trust developed through our working relationship in Germany at an international level,” says Harald Rosenberger, Vice President Corporate Finance at Eberspächer. “This significantly simplified the project and accelerated its execution.” Michael Schwab’s verdict is also positive: “Kreissparkasse State-of-the-art technology “made in Germany” – now also available in Sweden: The new production plant produces parts for wellknown car manufacturers. Esslingen-Nürtingen, one of Eberspächer’s core banks, implemented this project in a consortium together with us and other savings banks. We have become strategic partners.” Deutsche Leasing will be able to put this to the test once again this year: Investments in Eberspächer’s US subsidiary and further projects in Germany are already planned for the current financial year. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 19 20 Our company More than just the current project Because we think long-term and seek to work with companies through reliable and stable partnerships. For this, we make many things possible. 4.0 Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 21 As a customer-oriented service provider, DATEV needs a reliable fleet. Deutsche Leasing’s extensive range of services wins over even demanding customers. 22 Our company “For fleet management, service is key” 4.1 More commitment: Roswitha Goff, Regional Head of Fleet Management, has worked with the software service provider DATEV for several years now. A large fleet of 780 vehicles represents special fleet management challenges – a clear case for experts. “For fleet management, service is key,” says Roswitha Goff. “DATEV knew Deutsche Leasing through its leasing of commercial printers for its printing and distribution centre. So it made sense to work together in the area of vehicle leasing.” “From vehicle purchasing to resale – Deutsche Leasing offers a full portfolio. This also convinced DATEV.” DATEV had already successfully cooperated with Deutsche Leasing for its IT equipment investments, which laid the foundations for the expansion of their relationship to include fleet management. Thomas Kähler DATEV eG “The foundation for a long partnership” 4.2 More of a dialogue: Especially when it comes to operating a large fleet whose permanent operational readiness is required, every detail of the contract has to be right. Key details were agreed early on through extensive meetings and the optimal solution was identified for DATEV’s fleet park. “Our companies are very similar in terms of their values and also their down-to-earth personalities,” says Roswitha Goff. “This is very helpful when it comes to developing a trusting business relationship.” For Deutsche Leasing, detailed analysis and individual advice always come first at the start of a project. All of DATEV’s requirements were documented right at the start, through joint discussions, and were reflected accordingly in the contracts. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Our company For DATEV, it was critical for Deutsche Leasing to provide it with its own master agreement, so as to remain flexible in terms of its choice of vehicle brands. “DATEV and Deutsche Leasing achieved really excellent teamwork,” says Roswitha Goff. “We have laid the foundation for a long partnership.” Full-service leasing We offer our customers with a comprehensive range of services to ensure that your fleet maintains permanent operational readiness. Payment of taxes and radio licence fees Simple maintenance and repair Around-the-clock service Comfortable fuel management Optimum insurance cover Low-cost tyre supplies “The people are what counts” 4.3 More service: The principle is as simple as it is efficient: We handle purchasing, maintenance and repairs. This leaves our customers more time for their core business – and for a fleet park where everything goes smoothly. “DATEV is a highly solution-oriented company – just like Deutsche Leasing. And DATEV really does see its business partners as partners – just like we do. So this really is a partnership on the same wavelength.” With several hundred vehicles, there is always something to take care of: “We arrange ex-gratia and warranty claims for our customers, handle road tax and radio licence fee registration for them, remind them of upcoming vehicle servicing appointments and provide them with a service card for simple, convenient and cash-free payment of maintenance and repairs,” Roswitha Goff explains. Almost one year in, DATEV’s view of the partnership is also positive: “Our high expectations have been completely fulfilled.” Trends come and go: To ensure ongoing fulfilment of its customers’ requirements, Deutsche Leasing always keeps a close eye on the automobile market. The market is always on the move, whether through new technologies or changed Roswitha Goff Regional Head of Fleet Management Deutsche Leasing Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT mobility concepts. “This is the special thing about fleet management,” says Roswitha Goff. “That’s why we always keep our eyes open.” 2012 13 23 24 Our company More investment expertise 5.0 To ensure optimal service for every customer, all of our employees – not just our advisors – have intimate knowledge of their specific leasing asset types. Relationships with well-known manufacturers enable us to offer assets and financing from a single source. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 25 New life breathed into traditional brewing expertise: Since 2012 “Ratsherrn” pils has once again been brewed in Hamburg – with engineering supplied by Krones AG and a financing solution from Deutsche Leasing. 26 Our company “We are partners of many years’ standing” 5.1 More expertise: Just five major brewing groups produce half of the beer in Germany. The Nordmann Group sought to compete with these market leaders by reviving a traditional Hamburg premium pils. It needed high-quality engineering for this – and a reliable financing partner. Older residents of Hamburg will remember the name: In the 1970s “Ratsherrn” was the city’s biggest-selling premium pils, with 150,000 hectolitres. After several changes of ownership in the 1990s, production ceased and the brand disappeared from “Where our customers require a financing solution for their investments, we can recommend Deutsche Leasing to them as a reliable partner.” the market. “There was no longer a Hamburg premium beer,” says Thomas Arndt, Head of Finance at Nordmann Group, one of Germany’s largest beverage wholesalers. In 1999, the group acquired the brewery Stralsunder Brauerei and since this time it had been a reference customer of the equipment manufacturer Krones AG. When the opportunity arose ten years later to lease part of the traditional Schanzenhöfe halls, this gave rise to the idea of breathing new life into Dirk Schlaipfer Head of Sales, Central Europe Region Krones AG Ratsherrn. Within the scope of the vendor leasing partnership, Krones brought Deutsche Leasing on board for the very first meetings. “Asset-related advice and individual financing” 5.2 More innovation: The equipment manufacturer Krones AG and Deutsche Leasing have been partners for many years. Industry expertise and financing service are thus combined at the highest level – enabling vendors to offer their customers asset finance concepts. For its relaunch of Ratsherrn-Brauerei, a rapid and solid financing solution was particularly important for the Nordmann Group. Around EUR 10 million were to be invested in the conversion of the Schanzenhöfe halls and the brewery’s equipment. “We didn’t have any experience of leasing,” Arndt remembers. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Our company Nordmann had approached a few banks but no The conversion of the historic building complex one there had been really capable of assessing lasted two years, including the integration of this investment project. “As industry experts, as the 2,000 square-metre brewery. Traditional well as asset-related advice we can identify an recipes are now produced here using the latest individual financing solution,” says Jana Türpe, technology: A flexible, modular mashing who works with Ratsherrn-Brauerei as a vendor machine – a “Combi Cube C”, the first in a manager at Deutsche Leasing. German brewery – is at the heart of the process. This enables production at a consistently high level of quality within a limited space. A brewery with history: Ratsherrn-Brauerei has found a new home in Hamburg’s Schanzenhöfe halls. “ We were also able to talk about technology” 5.3 More quality: The “Ratsherrn” premium pils has once again been brewed in Hamburg for almost two years now. Enough time for the team to take stock of its achievements so far and to make plans for the future. “The vendor leasing model was the right route for us,” says Thomas Arndt. “Not only could we rely on solid advice on financial issues, we were also able to talk about technology. Throughout the project, the focus “ Vendor leasing was the right route for us. Rapid decision-making and realisation, clear and transparent implementation structures – none of this would have been possible with a bank.” ANNUAL REPORT “Ratsherrn” beer has been available on the market since the summer of 2012. “Business is going well,” says Arndt. “We have been able to strongly position ourselves and also have a positive emotional resonance.” The team is now considering offering food at the brewery and opening further micro-breweries. While there are not yet any specific plans for a follow-up project, Ratsherrn is confident: “That Thomas Arndt Head of Finance Nordmann Group Deutsche Leasing was on a clear process – and on us as customers.” certainly wasn’t the last time we work with Deutsche Leasing.” 2012 13 27 28 Our company Supervisory Board’s report Alexander Wüerst Chairman Structure of the Supervisory Board As of 30 September 2013, the Supervisory Board consists of 20 persons, almost all of whom are Management Board members of savings banks. To improve the efficiency of its operations the Supervisory Board has established two committees: a loans and investments committee and an audit committee. The Supervisory Board is comprehensively notified of the agenda and outcome of meetings of these committees through the committee chairman at regular meetings and by sending the minutes. Supervisory Board’s activities In accordance with its function and its understanding of its role, the Supervisory Board is continuously, promptly and comprehensively notified of the company’s development and of important business transactions. All key questions concerning the company’s position and development, strategic and operational planning and risk management and regulatory requirements were intensively discussed. In a regular dialog, the chairman of the Supervisory Board and the chairman of the Management Board of the managing shareholder were kept informed of current operational matters and strategic issues were subject to initial discussions. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 The Supervisory Board’s four regular meetings entailed detailed reporting from the Management Board on commercial and risk policy, outline economic conditions, the financial and profit situation and planning as well as related discussions. Investment issues, realisation of the Group’s foreign strategy and regulatory requirements were discussed in detail with the Management Board. Issues of particular relevance were followed up in greater depth in committee meetings. The loans and investments committee held detailed discussions concerning risk decisions on commitments beyond the scope of the Management Board’s responsibility as well as risk policy issues for the company and prepared Supervisory Board resolutions in the field of investments. Our company At two meetings, the audit committee discussed in detail with the auditor the financial statements and the management reports of Deutsche Sparkassen Leasing AG & Co. KG and the Group as well as the auditor’s audit findings in preparation for the Supervisory Board’s financial statements meeting. One meeting entailed a comprehensive discussion with the auditor concerning its audit findings on the supervisory requirements relating to the audit of the financial statements and the management report of Deutsche Sparkassen Leasing AG & Co. KG as of 30 September 2013. The Supervisory Board verified the orderliness of the company’s management and made all decisions which were required of it and which fell within the scope of its competence. It was involved in decisions of material significance for the company and where necessary provided its consent, following an extensive discussion and review process. The Supervisory Board discussed with the Management Board the company’s strategy and resulting measures for realisation of its medium- and long-term goals and provided its approval. Financial statements and consolidated financial statements KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft has been appointed as the auditor and has issued unqualified auditor’s reports for the financial statements of Deutsche Sparkassen Leasing AG & Co. KG and the Group for the financial year 2012/13 as well as the management report and the consolidated management report. The auditor has notified the Supervisory Board’s audit committee of its audit findings and has discussed them in detail with its members. The audit committee has notified the Supervisory Board of the outcome of its review of the auditor’s reports and its discussions and has recommended the endorsement of the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements and presentation of the financial statements to the shareholders’ meeting for approval. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 The auditor has provided a comprehensive report on its audit findings at the Supervisory Board’s financial statements meeting and has replied to questions.

KG, Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe General environment and business Overall economic context • Outline economic conditions poised between stagnation and initial signs of a recovery – mixed international economic environment • Robust outline situation for Germany, but companies’ propensity to invest remains subdued • Stable development of the leasing sector Outline economic conditions poised between stagnation and initial signs of a recovery – mixed international economic environment In the course of the past financial year, the global economic trend was influenced by the sovereign debt crisis and the associated stagnation in Europe; the international environment was mixed, and the slowdown of growth in China was particularly apparent. However, buoyed by the European Central Bank’s expansionary monetary policy, its main refinancing interest rate (which in May 2013 was once again cut, by 0.25 percentage points to 0.5 per cent) and relatively moderate inflation forecasts, there were increasing signs of an economic recovery in Europe. In the second quarter of 2013, the Eurozone’s real economic output increased for the first time in one and a half years. Significant growth in Germany and France played a key role in this increase in the Eurozone’s real gross domestic product. The outline conditions have improved significantly in several of the key EU countries for the Deutsche Leasing Group (joint economic forecast, autumn 2013). However, the economic situation remains fragile in Germany and Europe, since the debt crisis has still not been finally resolved. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Robust outline situation for Germany, but companies’ propensity to invest remains subdued The German economy enjoyed increased domestic and international demand for industrial goods. In overall terms, the Ifo business climate index pointed to a clear rise of around 6 per cent during Deutsche Leasing’s financial year. In September 2013 Germany even realised a record trade surplus of EUR 20.4 billion. German companies’ propensity to invest was nonetheless subdued, and there is still a trend of firms funding necessary replacement investments with their own liquidity; moreover, major expansion investments were generally postponed. The consequences of tough competition with commercial banks – whose financing products are now more strongly focused on German medium-sized companies – and development banks have also had an impact on the business of the Deutsche Leasing Group. The German council of economic experts expects Germany to realise gross domestic product growth of 0.4 per cent in 2013 (previous year: 0.7 per cent), reflecting the burdens associated with the weak start to the calendar year. It is not clear to what extent the marginal increase in gross domestic product and the improvement in other outline economic figures will lead to a sustained increase in investments. Companies will only be prepared to invest in new and necessary investment goods and to permanently increase their debt financing levels given a sufficient degree of certainty regarding the trend for outline economic conditions. Consolidated management report Stable development of the leasing sector For gross fixed asset investments in 2013, the exports predict a decrease of 0.9 per cent (previous year: 2.1 per cent). Plant and equipment expenditures will once again experience a significant decline, of 2.6 per cent (previous year: 4.0 per cent). Despite these outline conditions, for the calendar year 2013 the leasing sector in Germany expects the same volume of new business as in the previous year (federal association of German leasing companies, Bundesverband Deutscher Leasing-Unternehmen e. V., BDL/ifo investment test). Leasing investments in Germany This includes a slight decrease in the movables leasing segment of around 0.2 per cent, while real estate leasing will grow by 5.2 per cent in 2013.

This reflects the continuing attractiveness of leasing and the strength of the leasing sector. 33 Consolidated management report 34 Leasing ratios in Germany in per cent 25 20 15 10 5 0 2001 2002 Movables leasing 2003 2004 Total leasing 2005 2006 2007 The long-term assessment shows that demand for leasing remains stable in every phase of the economic cycle. As the market leader for asset finance solutions, in the financial year 2012/13 Deutsche Leasing once again benefited disproportionately strongly from the market trend. ANNUAL REPORT 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Real estate leasing Market positioning The movables leasing ratio will thus increase moderately to 23.0 per cent (previous year: 22.8 per cent), and the ratio for real estate leasing from 1.7 per cent to 1.8 per cent.

It further extended its market leadership in Germany and consolidated its position among the leading providers in Europe. Bucking the declining investment trend in the overall economy, Deutsche Leasing realised growth and significantly outperformed the competition, also in relation to the trend in Germany and Europe for new leasing business. In 2012 and 2013 the European leasing market realised a decline of - 1.6 per cent and - 5.1 per cent respectively. In Germany, according to predictions from the federal association of German leasing companies (Bundesverband Deutscher Leasing-Unternehmen) the leasing market stagnated at EUR 48.5 billion.

EUR 1.2 billion, as in the previous year – was at EUR 4.9 billion 9 per cent higher than in the previous year. The foreign companies realised new business with a volume of EUR 1.7 billion. They thus accounted for around 22 per cent of the Group’s total volume of new business, with an increase on the previous year of 10 per cent. Consolidated management report 41 An analysis of new business in the business segments, with a breakdown by asset class, shows the following development: Business segment 2012/13 Acquisition values EUR million 2011/12 Acquisition values Share in per cent EUR million Change in per cent in relation to previous year Share in per cent Machinery and equipment 3,917 51 3,682 51 +6 Road vehicles 1,911 25 1,734 24 + 10 752 10 615 9 + 22 6,580 86 6,031 84 +9 592 7 610 8 -3 Information and communication technology Deutsche Leasing Real estate 583 7 560 8 +4 DAL Energy and transport 1,175 14 1,170 16 0 Deutsche Leasing Group 7,755 100 7,201 100 +8 Direct business and partnerships with dealers and vendors in Germany and other countries developed positively and led to a 6 per cent increase in the volume of new business in the machinery and equipment segment. once again provided a significant contribution to new business. In the partnership business segment, several cooperation agreements were concluded which should contribute to a stable new business trend over the next few years. The trend on the fleet market remained characterised by stagnation, with declining licensing volumes and persistently tough competitive pressure, particularly in view of the aggressive price policies of the manufacturer-related leasing companies. The road vehicles segment increased by 10 per cent. In the real estate leasing segment the volume of new business declined slightly, by 3 per cent. This is attributable to a change in this segment’s business mix (higher proportion of SME business, entailing smaller volumes). The positive trend in the information and communication technology segment remained stable in the past financial year, and the level of new business in the previous year was significantly exceeded (+ 22 per cent). Direct business in the hardware segment, which involved a large number of major business transactions, Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 In the energy and transport segments, business in the transport sector was successfully expanded. Positive growth was realised in the rail business segment in particular. This made it possible to compensate for the decline in energy business – due to the loss of subsidies – and also the volatility resulting from dependence on several large-scale transactions. Consolidated management report 42 Moderate increase in net profit for the year Leasing income higher than in previous year Equity significantly strengthened through increase in provisions and special item for general bank risks in accordance with §§ 340f and 340g of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) Distribution at continuously high level Further increase in net asset value – economic result matches previous year’s high level Income goals exceeded • • • • • • Earnings position Moderate increase in net profit for the year The Group’s net profit for the year has increased moderately to EUR 60.4 million (previous year: EUR 58.4 million), following a further increase in provisions in accordance with §§ 340f and 340g HGB. Leasing income higher than in previous year In the financial year 2012/13, leasing income resulting from leasing and hire-purchase business and from sales of used leasing assets was approx. 6 per cent higher than in the previous year. This increase in income was due to an expansion of the leasing and hire-purchase portfolio. Growth of hire-purchase expenses and the merchandise used in the resale of second-hand leasing assets – which have been recorded under leasing expenses and which correspond to the above-mentioned income – has largely matched the income trend. Depreciation and valuation adjustments on leasing assets which should be considered in this regard increased by around 2 per cent. In principle, scheduled depreciation on newly acquired leasing assets in the period is in line with the term of the underlying leasing contracts. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Interest income improved significantly, from EUR - 205 million to EUR - 157 million, due to the continuing low-interest phase and the associated favourable conditions for borrowed funds. The (gross) profit from leasing, hire-purchase and services business increased by approx. 11 per cent, mainly on the basis of the above-mentioned components. Reselling of motor vehicles resulting from expired leasing contracts once again provided positive earnings contributions, due to the conservative calculation of residual values at the end of the respective contract terms, despite increasing pressure on second-hand car prices. The conservative residual value policy of the past few years in the vehicle contract segment – with open residual values and a high-performance international reselling network – have established the foundations for this positive long-term trend. General administrative expenses increased from EUR 283 million to EUR 304 million. This reflected additional expenses for strategic projects and initiatives which adversely affected the result for the period but will enable cost savings in future years. A further factor is necessary investments in connection with regulatory requirements. The development of additional employee capacities also made itself apparent. UFG and the extension of the trainee programme contributed to this trend. Equity significantly strengthened through increase in provisions and special item for general bank risks in accordance with §§ 340f and 340g of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) Depreciation and valuation adjustments for receivables increased significantly due to the allocations to the provisions and to the special item for general bank risks pursuant to § 340f and § 340g HGB; adjusted for these factors, depreciation and valuation adjustments Consolidated management report realised a positive, declining trend. Through its significant allocations to the provisions and to the special item for general bank risks, Deutsche Leasing is pursuing its strategic strategy of strengthening its (available) equity capital. Distribution at continuously high level The parent company reported a net income for the year of approx. EUR 45.4 million. This income provides the basis for the proposal to leave the distribution to the shareholders unchanged at EUR 35.0 million (previous year: EUR 35.0 million). Deutsche Leasing thus continues to adhere to its sustainable dividend policy of the past few years.

The net asset value reflects the value of the equity of the Deutsche Leasing Group after disclosure of the hidden reserves. It is calculated in accordance with the standard recommended by the federal association of German leasing companies in terms of its structure as well as contents and is verified by the auditor in accordance with the audit standard which has currently been published as a draft version.

Deutsche Leasing thus exceeded its target income level. This level is intended to permanently guarantee appropriate distributions, necessary future investments and the economically necessary equity foundations for growth on the company’s own initiative. 43 Consolidated management report 44 Development of economic result 2013 they amounted to EUR 15.2 billion (previous year: EUR 14.6 billion).

Thanks to its long-term business and risk model it has exceeded its income goals. Stabilisation on the financial markets Key interest rates in the Eurozone at record low Intensification of sales of receivables and expansion of cooperation with business development banks • • • Financial position The goal of the Deutsche Leasing Group’s financial management strategy is to safeguard permanent solvency and to cover financing requirements on the best possible terms, subject to the basic goal of hedging financing risks. Borrowed funds of the domestic and foreign companies (excluding DAL, including sales of receivables) increased slightly on the previous year. On 30 September Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Stabilisation on the financial markets The situation on the financial markets stabilised over the past financial year. This mainly reflected the fact that the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis abated and had less of an impact on market events. In addition, the economic outlook for the Eurozone gradually improved, particularly in the last few months of the financial year. Key interest rates in the Eurozone at record low In the context of these overall economic trends, interest rates on the capital market largely moved sideways but rose slightly toward the end of the financial year. The fluctuations over the course of the year mainly reflected current assessments regarding the state of the economy. The monetary policies of the central banks in the Eurozone and the USA were another key factor driving the interest-rate trend. Both of these central banks left their extremely expansionary monetary policies intact. The European Central Bank cut its key interest rate to a historic low of 0.5 per cent per annum and in its “forward guidance” it prescribed a very low key interest-rate level for some time to come. Intensification of sales of receivables and expansion of cooperation with business development banks In the past financial year Deutsche Leasing further extended its financial leeway and its financial reserves. It raised new financing lines with a volume of more than EUR 1 billion. These lines were mainly realised through savings banks, via global credit lines from business development banks and from selected foreign banks. On the basis of its anchoring in Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe and its stable long-term relationships with credit institutions, Deutsche Leasing has a solid financing base for its planned future growth. Consolidated management report Besides direct financing through borrowing, forfaiting of leasing receivables is the second key element of Deutsche Leasing’s financing structure and has played a clear role in the intensification of its relationship with the savings banks as well as reducing risk. New business in the savings bank leasing segment is generally financed through this channel. In addition, in the financial year 2012/13 the volume of forfaiting within the scope of individual transactions was once again increased, and structural preconditions were improved for continuing disproportionately strong growth in this financing segment. The financing portfolio was supplemented through further intensification of borrowing from business development banks within the scope of programme loans; investment projects complying with the specific criteria for the respective development programmes were financed on an individual basis. In addition, Deutsche Leasing maintained its structured financing/ ABCP financing.

V., Amsterdam, which was established for the purpose of improved efficiency of financing processes. On the balance-sheet date, the volume of financing extended to the subsidiaries amounted to approx. EUR 1.2 billion (previous year: EUR 0.6 billion). As before, transactions involving derivative financing instruments (mainly interest-rate swaps) are exclusively entered into for hedging purposes. A documented, appropriate and functional risk management system is used for these transactions. The volume of financing (Germany and other countries, excluding DAL) was distributed as follows between the financing partners as of 30 September 2013: Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 45 46 Consolidated management report Contingent liabilities under suretyships and guarantee agreements amounted to EUR 570.5 million at the end of the financial year (previous year: EUR 863.7 million).

Moderate increase in consolidated balance sheet volume of approx. 2.5 per cent At EUR 15.9 billion at the end of the year under review, Deutsche Leasing’s consolidated balance sheet total increased by approx.

Receivables from customers (mainly hire-purchase receivables and receivables from banking transactions) amounted to 33.5 per cent (previous year: 32.4 per cent) of the balance sheet total; due to the characteristics of the foreign subsidiaries’ leasing contracts, these are generally hire-purchase contracts in accordance with HGB and are therefore reported in receivables from customers.

Consolidated management report 48 Risk-bearing capacity intact even in stress scenarios Improved default situation Continuous improvement in risk control • • • Risk report Risk management Risk management supplements and supports the business strategy of the Deutsche Leasing Group and encompasses all key risks and all of the Group’s companies in Germany and abroad. Centralised Risk Management is responsible for entire, company-wide risk management for all types of risk, through a comprehensive system of risk management. Centralised Risk Management has technical competence and responsibility for methods and models of risk measurement, control and aggregation, for the calculation of risk-relevant parameters for both internal risk control and for internal and external reporting. Risk controlling provides quarterly reporting within the framework of a risk report on the development of risk-bearing capacity and all key risks and provides action recommendations for risk control. In addition, an ad hoc reporting procedure has been established for information which is significant in terms of risk aspects. The management receives support and advice in its decision-making on risk-related issues through the central risk board of Deutsche Leasing. Information from the various risk types is jointly presented in this monthly committee. By 30 September 2013, Deutsche Leasing had largely fulfilled the current requirements under the German Banking Act (Gesetz über das Kreditwesen, KWG) as Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 well as the minimum requirements for risk management (MaRisk), including the new requirements for which the deadline for compliance was 31 December 2013. The goal of risk management is to establish a balanced relationship between risk and opportunity/income at the level of the overall Group; adequate risk-bearing capacity is established between available capital for risk coverage and overall risks. The risk-bearing capacity calculation provides the basis for the Deutsche Leasing Group’s risk control strategy. Deutsche Leasing has continued to develop its risk-bearing capacity concept and its risk measurement methods as planned, to comply with the requirements for modern risk management as well as current regulatory trends. Besides new default probability models for valuation of applications and inventories in relation to various credit risk portfolios, in the past financial year a new loss given default model was introduced in Germany. Other key areas of activity included the introduction of regular individual stress tests and a Group-wide individual default definition in compliance with the German Solvency Regulation (Solvabilitätsverordnung, SolvV). Risk-bearing capacity intact even in stress scenarios The risk-bearing capacity concept is based on the net asset value as an indicator of risk coverage potential and a going-concern approach, with a confidence level of 99 per cent. In addition, a deduction item is maintained for coverage of rare loss categories. This is based on a risk calculated with a high level of confidence (99.95 per cent). The Group’s risk-bearing capacity was clearly intact as of 30 September 2013. Consolidated management report Risk-bearing capacity d Available RCC (RCCa) Buffer RBCa Free limit Used risk coverage capital (RCCGC) = econ. risk99 per cent RCCa < 1 Limit utilisation Economic risk 99 per cent d Risk coverage potential (= net asset value) Strict secondary condition: The deduction item measured with a confidence level of 99.95 per cent may not exceed the remaining buffer (buffer > 0). d Deduction item for rare loss events (99.95 per cent) LU = econ. risk99 per cent RCCGC < 1 Operational control procedures GC LU = limit utilisation; RCC = risk coverage capital; RCCa = available risk coverage capital; RCCGC = used risk coverage capital; RBC = risk-bearing capacity; RBCa = risk-bearing capacity as of cut-off date; GC = going concern. The buffer varies in accordance with the development of the net asset value and the level of risk exposure. Overall, limits have been allocated for all risk types/ categories within the framework of the risk-bearing concept. The level of limit utilisation shows that there is still sufficient leeway for further risk-taking within the scope of the used risk coverage capital. Each individual risk complied with the prescribed limit. The risks determined through a historical stress test and a serious hypothetical stress test (as the aggregate of risk type-specific stress results) were not only covered by the risk coverage potential but also by the available risk coverage capital. Risk-bearing capacity was thus intact in all stress scenarios. The historical stress test is a macroeconomic stress test covering multiple risk types. This is based on the historical scenario of the situation in the financial year 2008/09 and reflects a serious economic downturn, as required by the minimum requirements for risk management. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 In the financial year 2012/13 risk-bearing capacity and capital requirements planning were incorporated in Deutsche Leasing’s medium-term planning for the first time, in compliance with the new MaRisk requirement. A process has been established and documented for planning of future capital requirements and risk-bearing capacity. The value-at-risk limits have been verified within the scope of the planning process. No adjustments were made for the financial year 2013/14. In principle, Deutsche Leasing distinguishes between the following types of risk: Credit risk Credit risk covers the risk of non-fulfilment of contractually agreed payments or services, resulting in a loss for Deutsche Leasing. Credit risk encompasses the following risk categories: customer’s credit risk, counterparty risk, country risk and lessor risk. 49 50 Consolidated management report Asset risk Asset risk (also referred to as residual value risk) applies for contracts with open residual values. In such contracts, the historical costs for the asset are not fully amortised through the lessee’s agreed instalments. Residual value risk refers to the risk of a loss in the event of the selling price realised on the asset at the end of the period negatively deviating from the previously calculated and anticipated selling price, the residual value. Operational risk Operational risk is the risk of losses due to the inadequacy or failure of internal procedures and systems, people as well as external events. This definition includes legal risk and validity risk. Market price risk Market price risk refers to the general risk of unexpected losses due to a change in market parameters (interest rates, share prices, exchange rates, commodity prices and resulting variables). At Deutsche Leasing, market price risk is limited to interest rate risk and currency risk. Business risk Business risk describes the risk of business development yielding lower income or higher costs than envisaged. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk at Deutsche Leasing covers the following risk categories: purchasing risk and funding-spread risk. Purchasing risk is the risk of Deutsche Leasing being unable in future to borrow sufficient funds to fulfil its payment obligations. Funding-spread risk is the risk of an unanticipated loss resulting from changes in Deutsche Leasing’s refinancing curve because new borrowing is only possible at refinancing levels which are significantly higher than expected. Increased credit spreads result from a deterioration in Deutsche Leasing’s credit rating or a general worsening of borrowing terms, on grounds relating to the market itself. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Equity investment risk Equity investment risk is the risk of unanticipated losses in the event of the market value of an investment falling below its book value. Other risks Other risks cover the risk of an unanticipated loss which cannot be allocated to credit risk, asset risk, market price risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, business risk or equity investment risk. Other risks include the following risk types: • Liability risk: Deutsche Leasing is exposed to a liability risk in terms of the risk of losses resulting from its position as an owner or importer of assets. • Reputation risk: Reputation risk refers to the risk of losses in the event that the reputation of the Deutsche Leasing Group suffers harm or deteriorates. Such losses may also result, directly or indirectly, from other risk types which have materialised and may amplify these other risk types. Consolidated management report • Strategic risk: Strategic risk refers to the risk of unanticipated losses resulting from poor management decisions in relation to the business-policy positioning of Deutsche Leasing Group. • Translation risk: Translation risk refers to the risk of the net asset value in the foreign companies’ foreign currencies leading to unanticipated losses due to exchange-rate fluctuations. Within the scope of the regular risk inventory, materiality analyses have been performed for all of the risks identified, enabling clear categorisation of risks as material and non-material. All quantifiable material and non-material risks will be included in the risk-bearing capacity calculation, in accordance with a conservative approach. Risks at Deutsche Leasing Risk types Credit risk Asset risk Market price risk Liquidity risk Operational risks Equity investment risk Business risk Other risks Risk categories Customers’ credit risk Residual value risk – cars Interest rate risk Funding-spread risk Counterparty risk Residual value risk – EQUIP Currency risk Purchasing risk Country risk Residual value risk – ICT Lessor risk Risks resulting from internal procedures, people or systems as well as external factors (including legal and validity risk) The Deutsche Leasing Group has specified a uniform materiality limit of EUR 10 million for the loss potential for all types of risk category. Credit risks The credit worthiness structure of Deutsche Leasing’s own-risk exposure remained stable in the financial year 2012/13. The proportion of top credit ratings (ratings 1 to 6) remained high, at 40.1 per cent (previous year: 40.6 per cent). Within the medium credit rating segment there was a shift toward the better rating classes. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Equity investment risk Business risk Translation risk Reputation risk Strategic risk Liability risk material risk material risk which cannot be usefully limited through RCC non-material risk All of the (risk) limitations specified in the risk strategy were complied with. This applies for limits in regard to the portfolio structure as well as those relating to new business. 51 52 Consolidated management report The Group’s portfolio by sector remains characterised by a high level of granularity. No sector in Germany exceeds the limit laid down in the risk strategy. The sector shares also comply with the limits specified in the risk strategy for the Group’s foreign portfolio; due to the strategy of supporting vendor partners outside Germany, core sectors are generally more firmly defined here than in Germany. The positive risk trend in the financial year 2012/13 – particularly in Germany – led to a decrease in defaults in the Group not covered by standard risk costs. Subject to an unchanged conservative valuation, the volume of additional defaults not covered by calculated risk costs totalled EUR 3.3 million and was thus EUR 4.1 million lower than the previous year’s figure (EUR 7.4 million). Prices for the relevant second-hand assets were largely stable or positive in the financial year 2012/13. This had a positive impact on recovery rates (total resale revenues for contracts defaulted on and other revenues less resale-related costs as a proportion of present-value residual receivables including the margin). Asset risks The road vehicles business segment consistently utilises conservative residual value assessments in line with market norms and transfers residual value risks to solvent third-party guarantors. It ensures a high proportion of premium brands (Volkswagen/Audi, BMW and Mercedes currently account for approx. 52 per cent) in its contract portfolio. Diversification of products, models and resale channels and continuous support for contract management have a significant impact on the level of success in reselling vehicles. Permanent monitoring of the leasing and second-hand car market, stringent use of our asset management instruments, professional development of sales and organisational structures and processes at AutoExpo and resale analyses which differ in terms of vehicle types and sales channels provide a solid basis for sound resid- Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 ual value management. The residual value assessment is regularly verified by means of external asset-based testing (Eurotax GmbH). The second-hand car markets came under clear pressure in the past financial year. Nonetheless, very positive reselling results were achieved thanks to the markdown of residual values in the new business segment in previous years. No portfolio risks are currently discernible. We do not envisage any further deterioration in market conditions for road vehicles in the coming financial year. With adequate valuation methods in its machinery and equipment business segment, Deutsche Leasing has solid foundations for control and management of the risk resulting from open residual values. Residual value quotations are exclusively handled by specialised employees in its asset management department. The results of expiring contracts featuring open residual values were once again positive in the financial year 2012/13. The assets held in the portfolio are distributed relatively smoothly across asset classes and countries. The sovereign debt crisis and uncertainty over the economic trend led to general investment restraint on the part of customers in the Group’s traditional target markets. However, no further downturn is apparent and no significant change in the volume of returns is foreseeable. Demand and prices of second-hand assets from operating leasing contracts were at high levels in all market segments. Prices of second-hand machinery only remain low in the printing industry, due to consistently difficult market conditions and excess capacities. Asset value remains a key component of Deutsche Leasing’s risk management strategy, as a result of a consistent policy of basing residual-value assessments on current market conditions while giving consideration to future expectations. In its information and communication technology business segment Deutsche Leasing mainly handles operating leasing contracts with larger medium-sized customers and major customers. A calculation of residual values on the basis of conservative benchmarks Consolidated management report enabled additional revenues through contract extensions or sales. These exceeded the calculated values. In view of the continuing stable situation on the ICT market in Germany and the high-quality structure of its medium-sized and major customers with high credit ratings, Deutsche Leasing once again envisages sustained positive business development in 2014. The income realised shows that the Group has succeeded in exploiting the income opportunities available from entering into risks associated with residual values and follow-up business expectations. This is largely attributable to focused asset management. Market price risks In line with the basic concept that financing activities provide for congruent interest rate-optimised financing of customer business, unlike banks the Deutsche Leasing Group does not pursue any own-account trading of money and capital market products. Interest rate risks may be entered into to a certain extent, to achieve additional income resulting from market trends within the scope of original financing requirements. In terms of currency risks, customer transactions always have same-currency financing. Currency risks therefore apply only temporarily (if at all) during operational execution of transactions or through margin components of customer receivables which are not secured through same-currency financing. The applicable rules for control of market price risks are based on these principles and limit the scope of the risk position which is permissible for optimisation of financing costs through a market-price risk limit in line with the economic risk. This limit is linked with nominal position limits for operational control of interest rate risk. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 1. Interest rate risk Interest rate risks are subject to operational monitoring and control by means of the nominal volume of mismatched (open) interest rate positions for financing of new business, with corresponding limitations in line with the control guidelines. For calculation of the economic risk, value-at-risk calculations are performed for open interest rate positions in accordance with the variance-covariance method. In the context of the sovereign debt crisis, a subdued economic trend and an expansionary monetary policy, interest rates generally declined over the course of the financial year. Particularly in view of the latent risks of political developments having strong and scarcely predictable effects on the interest-rate framework, despite the falling interest-rate trend and a normal interest yield curve forward interest-rate assets were managed at a relatively low level. The value-at-risk trend for this position – calculated for its operational valuation – is presented below. Valueat-risk considers the value of the open interest rate position as well as the level of market volatility. 53 Consolidated management report 54 Interest rate risk for Deutsche Leasing Group (excl. DAL) Value-at-risk (confidence level of 99 per cent, 10-day holding period) EUR million 1.80 1.60 1.40 1.20 1.11 1.03 1.00 1.12 0.98 0.95 0.84 0.96 0.89 0.80 0.80 0.87 0.84 30/6/13 31/7/13 0.80 0.90 0.60 0.40 0.20 0.00 30/9/12 31/10/12 30/11/12 31/12/12 31/1/13 28/2/13 2. Currency risk In Germany, foreign currency risks are limited to a few transactions executed in Swiss francs and US dollars, all of which have same-currency financing. The foreign subsidiaries’ operating business is likewise financed in the same currency in principle. Risks resulting from exchange rate fluctuations only apply here in relation to the margin. Liquidity risk The business activities and the continuing growth of Deutsche Leasing Group are also based on permanent availability of liquidity and financing through optimised interest rates. Deutsche Leasing thus adheres to the principle of financing its business at matching maturities. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 31/3/13 30/4/13 31/5/13 31/8/13 30/9/13 The guidelines applicable for liquidity control reflect this basic conservative orientation and limit the scope of the risk position which is permissible for optimisation of financing costs. In relation to purchasing risk, the limits defined for the liquidity risk refer to nominal minimum requirements for free liquidity. In regard to the funding-spread risk, the limits are based on the economic risk resulting from liquidity mismatches and are broken down into nominal position limits at the operational level. In concrete terms, as a reflection of purchasing risk liquidity risk is controlled and monitored through liquidity planning which distinguishes between various planning periods. Economic risk resulting from funding-spread risk is quantified on the basis of scenario analyses. Consolidated management report In overall terms, in the financial year 2012/13 the banks’ liquidity situation eased significantly, not least due to broad-based intervention by the central banks. Accordingly, Deutsche Leasing significantly expanded its relationships with savings banks and with selected commercial banks. It also clearly extended its financing lines with business development banks. At the end of the financial year these free lines amounted to almost EUR 3 billion and thus considerably exceeded their target levels. Equity investment risk, business risk, other risks Limits apply for equity investment risk, business risk and translation risk. These had all been complied with as of 30 September 2013. Operational risks Operational risks result in principle from all commercial activities and are thus inherent in the business activities of the Deutsche Leasing Group. Due to the complexity of products and processes, operational risks require particularly close attention. Systematic risk management enables early identification of these risks and implementation of suitable control measures to avoid or limit them. The risk management process encompasses regular risk identification and quantification in all departments of the company and an analysis of loss events actually arising. Moreover, an annual “risk analysis” is conducted to prevent other criminal acts which might jeopardise Deutsche Leasing’s net asset position. This identifies, analyses and evaluates potential gateways for internal and external criminal activities. Where necessary, employee-specific measures (“know your Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 employee”) and also business- and customer-specific measures (“know your customer”) are identified. Deutsche Leasing focuses in particular on the various forms of fraud and on how to prevent it. A regular risk analysis is performed in case of outsourced activities. This assesses the nature, scope, complexity and risk content of outsourced processes. Control and reporting processes have been implemented to safeguard preparation of the consolidated financial statements. In the financial year 2012/13 there were no operational risks jeopardising the company’s existence. Litigation and legal risks The potential risks for the Deutsche Leasing Group arising from current litigation are fully covered through provisions. In summary, subject to unchanged conservative valuation benchmarks Deutsche Leasing has made appropriate provision for all discernible risks in its consolidated financial statements. Non-scheduled depreciation, provisions and valuation adjustments remain adequate and are calculated according to conservative benchmarks. In addition, Deutsche Leasing has established reserves in line with §§ 340f and 340g HGB; it has also established significant hidden risk provisions due to advance expenses typical of the leasing business. Otherwise, no special business modelrelated risks exceeding the normal level of risk are discernible for the Deutsche Leasing Group. 55 Consolidated management report 56 Deutsche Leasing Academy: strategic orientation of initial and advanced training HR International: growth safeguarded through targeted management of HR activities in an international context Long-term commitment to a range of charitable ventures • • • Employees and social commitment On the balance-sheet date the Deutsche Leasing Group had a total of 2,136 employees (previous year: 2,013). This includes 453 employees outside Germany. The increase in the financial year 2012/13 partly reflects oneoff factors such as the significant expansion of the Group’s trainee programme and the first-time inclusion of UFG’s employees following the acquisition of this company. The average period of employees’ membership of the company in Germany amounted to approx. 11.5 years, with an average age of 44.4 years. The fluctuation rate was 1.3 per cent and the sickness level 3.5 per cent. A performance-oriented remuneration system links individual employees’ goals with the company’s strategic goals, thus providing the basis for enduring relationships between employees and the company. Deutsche Leasing Academy: increased commitment to initial and advanced training The goal of the DL Academy is predictive planning of the company’s short, medium and long-term personnel requirements and alignment in terms of changing competence requirements, on the basis of the company’s “Strategy 2020”. The company’s employees are thus offered further long-term development opportunities and perspectives. Core issues are securing know-how through a targeted transfer of knowledge, Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 structured succession planning for management and technical functions and safeguarding technical fitness for every position in the company. Ongoing qualification and training measures support employees’ future plans and their creativity. These measures are provided in technical and methodological areas as well as in the fields of social skills and personal development. Managers are supported in the performance of their tasks by means of targeted advanced training measures based on current management know-how. For this purpose, a general and systematic manager training programme was planned during the financial year 2012/13 and launched in the course of the 2013 calendar year. The new management model which was developed in the financial year 2012/13 and has been communicated throughout the company also underpins this manager training programme. Deutsche Leasing has a long-term commitment to initial and advanced training and this represents an important investment in the future, as a response to the demographic trend which is already apparent. In the financial year 2012/13 Deutsche Leasing had a total of 18 trainees. This includes students on Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in International Business Administration dual courses. Besides its standard office administrator training course, together with Frankfurt’s vocational training centre and the Taunus savings bank Deutsche Leasing has successfully launched a bachelor degree programme (which includes training leading to the qualification of bank officer) with two places. In the period under review, all trainees and bachelor students who completed their courses were offered employment positions. In addition, nine further junior employees were hired within the scope of a new trainee programme. Consolidated management report training circuit at a Bad Homburg comprehensive school. Colleagues from every organisational unit of Deutsche Leasing – from trainees to the Management Board – helped out with this project. This programme will continue in the financial year 2013/14, with the hiring of an additional 10 trainees. HR International: growth safeguarded through targeted management of HR activities in an international context Deutsche Leasing aims to anchor its international focus throughout its corporate culture, in accordance with its self-defined role, and to foster an international outlook among its employees. This focus extends to employees in Germany and elsewhere in equal measure. This goal is pursued through professional support and management of HR-related activities; HR International ensures transparency in relation to HR activities at local, international and Group level as well as necessary coordination. “Bärenherz” foundation, Wiesbaden DKMS Deutsche Knochenmarkspenderdatei gGmbH, Tübingen “Kinder in Not e.

These include: Long-term commitment to a range of charitable ventures In 2012 Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe provided around EUR 500 million in support for charitable projects throughout Germany. “Through its varied and long-term commitment, Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe lives up to its responsibility in its various regions and makes a significant contribution to social cohesion. We are delighted that we are able to maintain this support at a very high level.” (Georg Fahrenschon, president, German savings banks association, 2013). As an important member of Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, Deutsche Leasing is aware of this social responsibility which it fulfils in various ways, through commitments to art and culture, science, social issues and sport. Through the company’s “Socially Active Employees (SAM)” project, since 2011 Deutsche Leasing employees have demonstrated social commitment on their own initiative through projects of their own choosing. Deutsche Leasing supports its employees’ commitment to these projects, also in the form of financial assistance. In the financial year 2012/13 a total of 14 projects were realised, including the construction of a Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 In the field of sport, together with the German savings banks association Deutsche Leasing is an “Olympics Partner for Germany”. Deutsche Leasing is also dedicated to causes such as the German sport aid foundation (Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe) and Ironman 70.3 in Wiesbaden. Deutsche Leasing supports a large number of cultural initiatives, e.g. in the form of its commitment to the “Fugato” organ concert which takes place in Bad Homburg and the Christmas oratorio at Bad Homburg’s Church of the Redeemer. Particularly notable is its premium partnership with the Rheingau Music Festival, which has enriched the cultural scene for many years now with almost 150 concerts at over 40 venues every summer. In its science funding, Deutsche Leasing provides assistance for a wide range of research projects conducted by various institutions. Deutsche Leasing’s cooperation with the centre for accounting and auditing at the University of the Saarland and its membership of the funding association for the University of Cologne’s 57 Consolidated management report 58 leasing research institute document the company’s intensive relationships with universities. In addition, the lectures and forums supported by Deutsche Leasing and its membership of Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe’s science funding association ensure an active exchange between the realms of theory and practice. Subsequent events There were no reportable events in the period from 30 September 2013 to the Management Board’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Stable economic trend in Germany, recovery expected in Europe despite continued risks of a setback Strengthening of the company’s position as a leading asset finance provider • • Forecast report Stable economic trend in Germany, recovery expected in Europe despite continued risks of a setback In the calendar year 2014 the world economic growth trend is expected to continue and will give rise to an increase in global output of 2.8 per cent. The Eurozone’s gross domestic product is likewise expected to recover in 2014, by 0.9 per cent. The German economy’s gross domestic product will increase by 1.8 per cent in the calendar year 2014 (joint economic forecast, autumn 2013). At the same time, there are a number of significant uncertainties attached to this forecast: The USA’s debt ceiling remains under discussion, the Eurozone’s sovereign debt crises are not yet over, and the growth trend in various emerging markets is uncertain. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Despite stricter regulatory conditions for leasing companies, in the medium term the industry envisages a moderate increase in leasing investments. In particular, additional financing-related services are expected to contribute to increased growth for leasing as a product. On the basis of the forecasts for the outline economic conditions, overall for the next few years Deutsche Leasing expects that the economic trend will remain flat. The picture at the European level will continue to be mixed, with significant risks of a setback. Two distinct trends are apparent in the company’s competitive environment: On the one hand, commercial banks are increasingly focusing on the German SME sector. On the other, the reorganisation of the financial sector offers further commercial opportunities for the Deutsche Leasing Group as an international business. It also sees considerable potential in the development and expansion of standardised retail business. Strengthening of the company’s position as a leading asset finance provider As the solution-oriented asset finance partner of the German SME sector and as a centre of leasing excellence of Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, Deutsche Leasing envisages an ambitious volume of new business growth, in excess of the market level. This will be achieved while consistently adhering to a risk policy which remains conservative. A key precondition for this target growth volume is the development of market shares – especially through cooperation with the savings banks – in a market environment which is uncertain and, at very least, slow. Deutsche Leasing will thus follow through on the goal formulated in its vision of becoming the “leading asset finance provider for corporate customers in Germany”. Consolidated management report Deutsche Leasing is actively shaping its future and thus reinforcing its stable foundations. The Management Board expects that Deutsche Leasing will be able to further extend its market leadership through this sharper strategic positioning. 2012/13. Thanks are also due to all of the employees of Deutsche Leasing worldwide who have made this success possible.

Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Consolidated financial statements Consolidation methods Currency translation For subsidiaries newly incorporated in the group of consolidated companies, capital consolidation is performed according to the revaluation method. The historical costs of the shares in subsidiaries are offset against their share of equity as of the date on which this company became a subsidiary. Currency translation for foreign financial statements is based on the modified closing rate method. Assets and liabilities are translated at average spot exchange rates on the balance-sheet date, expenses and income at average annual rates and equity at historical rates. The profits brought forward of consolidated subsidiaries are allocated to the reserves. Loans, receivables and liabilities between consolidated companies are offset. Trade receivables and other income realised between consolidated companies are offset against corresponding expenses. Future receivables resulting from intra-Group purchases of receivables – which are reported in the consolidated financial statements at their present value – are consolidated with the deferred income item from sales of receivables under leasing contracts. Any remaining amount is reported in the profit and loss account. The value of the investments reported at equity has been calculated by means of the book value method as of the date on which the company became an associated company. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Differences resulting from currency translation are not recognised in income and are separately reported in equity. 69 70 Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Currency translation is in accordance with the rules laid down in § 340h HGB and §§ 298, 300 (2) in connection with 256a HGB. Cash reserves and receivables due to credit institutions are reported at nominal value. In principle, receivables are reported at their historical costs. Claims under hire-purchase contracts and sales of receivables are reported at their present value. Discernible risks are taken into account by means of depreciation to the lower fair value. According to §§ 253 (5) in connection with 298, 300 (2) HGB write-ups are implemented where the grounds for depreciation are no longer applicable. In general, the historical costs of leasing goods under contracts newly concluded in the financial year are subject to depreciation over the term of the contract. The straight-line depreciation method is used instead of the declining-balance depreciation method if this results in an increase in depreciation. Intangible assets are reported at their historical costs less scheduled amortisation. Property, plant and equipment is valued at historical costs less scheduled depreciation. Leasing goods, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are subject to non-scheduled depreciation in case of permanent impairment. Leasing goods are subject to non-scheduled depreciation in case of possible risks associated with violations of leasing contracts. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Goodwill is subject to straight-line depreciation over the average residual terms of the respective company’s portfolio of contracts, over a period of 7.5 years or 5 years. In principle, other assets are reported at their historical costs. Where this includes assets resulting from terminated leasing contracts, these are valued at amortised historical costs. Liabilities are valued at their settlement amounts. Deferred income mainly consists of the selling prices resulting from the sale of leasing receivables. Where these result from the sale of non-straight-line leasing instalments they are reversed in proportion to the capital, and otherwise on a straight-line basis. In case of non-monthly leasing instalments, deferred income includes income to guarantee realisation of revenues in accordance with the performance period. Provisions for pensions have been valued using the projected unit credit method and their reported amounts are based on an actuarial calculation. The provision amount has been calculated in accordance with §§ 253 (2) in connection with 298, 300 (2) HGB in connection with the German Provisions Discounting Ordinance (Rückstellungsabzinsungsverordnung) with the interest rate for accounting purposes indicated by the German Bundesbank of 4.92 per cent. This calculation is based on the current Heubeck 2005 G guideline tables and an index-linked salary and pension increase of 2.00 per cent. Provisions for anniversary bonuses have been calculated according to the projected unit credit method, with a discounting rate of 4.92 per cent and an index-linked salary increase of 2.00 per cent. For calculation of the rate of fluctuation, age- and gender-specific fluctuation probabilities averaging 2.00 to 5.00 per cent Consolidated financial statements have been applied. Old-age part-time working obligations are calculated by means of discounting rates of between 3.56 and 5.05 per cent and an index-linked salary increase of 2.00 per cent. Provisions for taxation and other provisions are reported in the value of the settlement amount which is deemed necessary according to a prudent commercial assessment. Financial statements of foreign companies have been included on the basis of the uniform valuation methods for the consolidated financial statements, while complying with specific features in individual countries and the principle of materiality. Within the scope of the loss-free valuation of interest-related business in the banking book, a progress review has been prepared for financial assets as well as interest-bearing deposit operations, including carefully calculated risk and administrative expenses. The surpluses expected to result from this have been identified. This has not given rise to a need to establish provisions for contingent losses. In cases where liabilities (underlying transactions) are pooled (valuation units) to equalise opposite cash flows resulting from similar risks entered into through financial instruments (hedging instruments), the general valuation principles laid down in § 254 HGB will not apply insofar and for as long as opposite cash flows equalise one another. Changes in the values of underlying transactions and hedging instruments will be calculated for the effective portion within the framework of the net hedge presentation method. Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Deferred taxes are calculated for time differences between the commercial and tax balance sheet valuations of assets, liabilities and accruals and deferrals, in principle encompassing includable tax loss carryforwards. Timing differences resulting from the company’s own balance-sheet items are included as well as those applicable for subsidiary companies. Domestic and foreign subsidiaries which are not included in the tax group are also considered. Tax loss carryforwards are included in the valuation of deferred tax assets if they are expected to be offsettable against taxable income within a period of five years. Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of the income tax rate for the respective member company of the consolidated group of between 10.00 per cent and 35.00 per cent. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset. Due to the overall assessment – including the deferred taxes from the annual financial statements of the incorporated companies – in case of tax relief, balance-sheet reporting is waived in line with the capitalisation option. In the reporting year no deferred taxes are reportable in the consolidated financial statements of Deutsche Sparkassen Leasing AG & Co. KG, since this option has not been used.

In addition, liabilities owed to shareholders amount to EUR 467.7 million (previous year: EUR 666.8 million). Liabilities within the scope of securitised receivables which were reported under liabilities owed to credit institutions in the previous year have been reported under liabilities owed to customers in the past financial year. The figures for the previous year have been adjusted for improved comparability. Of the other liabilities, liabilities owed to suppliers comprise EUR 227.2 million (previous year: EUR 226.7 million). Of the total liabilities, EUR 190.1 million (previous year: EUR 171.6 million) is secured by means of the transfer of title of leasing goods for security purposes. This is associated with the sale of claims associated with residual values and exclusively relates to the parent company’s liabilities owed to credit institutions. Provisions for pensions and similar obligations have been established for employees and former Management Board members. Of the reinsurance asset item in the amount of TEUR 1,047 – reported at its fair value in accordance with §§ 255 (4) Clause 4 in connection with 298, 300 (2) HGB – TEUR 917 has been offset against the pension provisions. 75 76 Consolidated financial statements The other provisions relate to outstanding payments for the personnel segment and provisions for old-age part-time working and anniversary bonuses and also, in the amount of EUR 34.2 million (previous year EUR 38.8 million), for leasing business.

These amount to EUR 358.5 million. Derivatives (interest-rate swaps, currency swaps, interest-rate/currency swaps, forward exchange transactions) are exclusively entered into for hedging of interest-rate fluctuation/currency risks. The risk resulting from various payment flows (interest rate, fixed interest-rate period, currency) for the underlying transactions (leasing contracts and corresponding financing) is managed by means of these derivatives. For this purpose, Deutsche Sparkassen Leasing AG & Co. KG pools groups of underlying transactions involving one or more hedging instruments as valuation units (portfolio hedge) and hedges any shortfall of cover (net risk position). Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 The nominal volume of the derivatives corresponds to the value of the liabilities shown in the balance sheet or current leasing claims in the respective valuation units. The term of the derivatives matches the term of the underlying transactions. In principle, these transactions will not be prematurely unwound. As of 30 September 2013, the nominal value of the derivatives amounted to EUR 2,033.9 million. The total derivatives with negative fair values as of the balance-sheet date amount to EUR 29.9 million (determined by means of the mark-to-market method). Due to the effectiveness of the valuation units, no provisions are established. The derivatives have a maximum remaining term of 10.4 years. Effectiveness is prospectively measured by means of a comparison of the relevant parameters for the underlying transactions and hedging instruments in both qualitative and quantitative terms, nominally and arithmetically. A documented, appropriate and functional risk management system is also used for these transactions.

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Section 317 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the German Institute of Public Auditors (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with German principles of proper accounting and in the group management report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Group and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the group management report are examined primarily on a test basis Deutsche Leasing ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 within the framework of the audit. The audit includes assessing the annual financial statements of those entities included in consolidation, the determination of entities to be included in consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and significant estimates made by Management Board of the Company’s General Partner, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and group management report. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit has not led to any reservations. In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with the legal requirements and give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group in accordance with these requirements. The group management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as a whole provides a suitable view of the Group’s position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future development.
