Dutch lessor DLL saw its net profits rise by 13.9% year-on-year to 257m (£186.3m) in the first half of 2015.
The firm’s portfolio grew by 4.7% in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, reaching 34.9bn.
According to the lessor, the portfolio growth was mainly driven by increased business in the food, agriculture, construction and transportation segments of the market.
"From a geographical point of view Europe and North America were the primary contributors to this portfolio growth," the company wrote.
Frans Overdijk, chief financial and risk officer and member of the executive board said: "This step forward is the result of our successful delivery of the value proposition in the markets we service. Our diversified financed portfolio is growing also resulting from our continued focus on new business development. Next to that we apply strong risk management showing stable and modest risk costs. The profit increase was also supported by currency effects."
