In March DLL closed an equipment lease securitisation transaction in the United Kingdom for £306m, the first UK (ABS) transaction with equipment lease exposure in five years.

This is the first public ABS transaction issued by DLL in Europe. The transaction will be listed at the ISE (Irish Stock Exchange), and the notes are backed by a pool of UK equipment lease receivables originated by DLL’s UK branch, De Lage Landen Leasing.

This pool consists of hire purchase agreements, operational leases and financial leases, mainly in the agriculture and materials handling sectors. The final book finished at £750m, an oversubscription of 2.5 times.

Last November DLL has closed a 2018-2 ABS securitisation transaction in the United States in excess of $1bn (€880m). This is the largest equipment finance securitisation in recent history in US markets.

The transaction follows two successful DLL securitisations in November 2017 for $501.5m and in May 2018 for $824.4m. Matthew Goldenberg, DLL vice president of US capital markets, said: “We are pleased with the strong execution and expanded investor participation in our largest transaction to date. This successful transaction is an endorsement by investors and rating agencies of the strong and consistent results of our portfolios.”
