Strong Annual Results for DLL

Eindhoven, The Netherlands (ots/PRNewswire) - DLL, global provider of
asset-based financial solutions, sustained its growth through the
second half of 2015. The company's focus on partnerships, dedicated
industry knowledge, balanced spread of activities across regions and
robust risk management led to strong and healthy results.

DLL recorded a net profit of EUR 525 (USD 582) million for FY2015,
representing an increase of 15.6% in performance compared to FY2014.
"This step forward is the result of our relentless focus on the
customer and dedicated efforts in new business development across our
industries," notes Bill Stephenson, CEO and Chairman of the Executive
Board. Frans Overdijk, CFRO and member of the Executive Board adds,
"Operational cost control and strong, thoughtful risk management also
contributed to our excellent 2015 results. Our efforts in these two
areas helped significantly lower our risk costs."

Portfolio growth

In 2015, DLL experienced strong growth across all business lines and
geographies and benefitted from currency effects. The result was an
8.5% year-over-year increase of the company's managed portfolio,
which now totals EUR 37.5 (USD 40.8) billion. DLL's commitment to a
global structure and segmented specialization was again validated in
a challenging economic environment.

Looking ahead

"2015 was a remarkable year in many ways," states Stephenson. "Not in
the least because we were the first financial institution to be
recognized by the Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum
for providing financial backing to enable the circular economy to
become mainstream. This recognition shows that the financial industry
can play an integral role in creating a more sustainable world and
economy. I am extremely proud of these achievements and every single
DLL employee who has contributed to our success. Looking forward, we
will remain committed to building new, sustainable, financial
solutions - leveraging digital technology to continually improve the
customer experience."
