Success story: Siemens Financial Services Division (SFS)

Providing business-to-business financial solutions

European Locomotive Leasing (ELL) is a provider of full-service locomotive leasing solutions to freight and passenger operators throughout continental Europe. With rail traffic liberalization across the continent and the growing prominence of private rail operators more likely to favor leasing over owning locomotives, the locomotive leasing sector benefits from highly attractive market dynamics. The business outlook is set on expansion – which is why ELL signed a framework agreement for up to 50 Vectron locomotives from Siemens, with financing secured inter alia by Siemens Financial Services Division (SFS). But, locomotive leasing is a capital-intensive business. This is where Siemens’ in-house financial expertise came into play. This major order was secured thanks to an 8-year asset-based Senior Term Loan Financing of €140.5 million set up by SFS – based on SFS’ expertise of managing and evaluating rolling stock assets. The loan is mutually provided by SFS and DVB Bank SE. Furthermore, the equity sponsor is the global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR).
