(*) To ensure an understanding of the performance of the activities, the key indicators of the Group's activity report are presented differently from the IFRS income statement. For this reason, no distinction is made in the management of third-party accounts, which is presented exclusively as an agent.
This presentation allows for a direct reading of syndication fees, sales fees and management fees.
This presentation does not result in any difference in EBITDA, operating profit and net profit. The accounting presentation of the revenues of the activities is reported in the annex to the press release.
The decline in new equipment sales was offset by growth in leasing income and a recovery in used equipment sales.
Owned activities decrease by €0.9 million (-2.4%) following a drop in sales of new equipment and ancillary services (-€2.5 million), offset by a very favourable trend in leasing income, up by 10.5% (+€1.6 million).
The container market has normalised over 2023 generating a decline in ancillary services and container sales, these activities having benefited from an exceptional year in 2022.
The recurring leasing business continues to grow thanks to leasing rate increases, which reflect our ability to increase the value of our contracts in relation to inflation, and to the growth of the fleet.
Management activities increased by €0.6 million due to sales commissions on second-hand equipment owned by investors.

The Freight Railcars business grew by 5.4%, driven by leasing revenues from owned equipment, up by €0.6 million. This increase is explained by the regular investments initiated since 2021 and by maintaining a high utilisation rate, at an average of 88.5% in the 1er quarter of 2023.
The River Barges activity increased its turnover by +15.1%. This increase is explained by a 100% utilisation rate in the 1er quarter of 2023, by a fleet that grew slightly over the year (purchase of four second-hand barges for the Rhine and Danube basins, and the full effect over the quarter of leasing income from two new barges rented on the Seine) and by the growth in chartering activity on the Rhine basin, which accounts for half of the increase in the value of the division's revenues.
Revenues in the Container Division remained strong at €16.7 million, but decreased by €2.8 million, in an overall market that is normalising after two exceptional years in 2021 and 2022 in terms of prices and volumes for new containers. In this context, sales of owned containers and ancillary services (pick-up charges), which had maximised trading activity in 2022, fell by €3.0 million and €1.1 million respectively in the quarter.
Recurring leasing income from owned equipment increased by €0.8 million (+23.7%). Management activity grew by €0.5 million with an increase in sales commissions on investor equipment due to the redelivery of older containers by lessees, leading to an increase in our used container sales activities.
The Modular Buildings in Africa business, presented in the "Miscellaneous" line, is off to a very good start in 2023 after the low point of 2022, showing a net increase of €1.2 million (+79%). The year as a whole looks good, with a high order backlog.
