The analysis and assessment of the Board of Directors with regard to financial situation and operating results, and degree of realization of the scheduled activities and operations, and situation of the Company against the established strategic goals:

With the pandemic impact in 2020, demand dramatically shrank across the industry in the second quarter. With the normalization steps, however, leasing demand picked up, coupled with the added effect of the decreased credit pressure upon banks; in this process, İş Leasing decoupled significantly from the other companies in the industry with its transaction volume and increased its market share in terms of transaction volume. In 2020, with its transaction volume of USD 545 million and its market share of 16.5%, İş Leasing maintained its strong positioning in the sector. Having increased its leasing portfolio by 40% to TL 7.2 billion over the past year, the Company further increased its shareholder’s equity by 35% to 1.7 billion TL. With a net profit of 197.6 million TL in 2020, the Company recorded a return on equity of 13.2%. As a result of developed techniques applied and care and due diligence shown in credit risk management, the Company’s non-performing debts ratio of leasing receivables continued to remain far below the sector average, and was recorded as 4.32%.

Its bond issuance limit of TL 1,250 million approved by the Capital Markets Board of Turkey (CMB) and having issued bonds and private sector bills worth TL 898 million in total during the year, İş Leasing diversified its funding sources by securing new financing in the aggregate amount of USD 133 million from prestigious credit agencies in Turkey and abroad.
