Daimler’s Financial Services division has seen a lot of fluctuations in Revenue over the years:

 

  • Financial Services Division had a huge increase in 2017 primarily due to a high increase in business in Europe (Russia, Italy, and Spain saw the highest growth) and a strong growth in the Asia-Pacific region. Amid the global auto market slowdown, the production level of companies has decreased (y-o-y) across the first few quarters of 2019 and is expected to continue. This is having a trickle down effect on Lear’s business, and thus Trefis estimates in 2019 the revenue to be around $26.9 billion, down by 10% y-o-y.
  • Financing Segment Assets have seen a good growth over the years as the assets under Daimler increased from $137.5 billion to $188.4 billion from 2015 to 2018. Trefis estimates Financing segment assets under Daimler to reach around $192.2 billion in 2019.
  • Interest rate earned has been a bit fluctuating for the first 3 years of the analysis. Overall it moved from 15.3% in 2015 to 15.9% in 2018. Trefis estimates interest rate earned on vehicle loans to fall to around 14% in 2019 amid the global auto slowdown.
