Anexo has been actively investing in marketing to attract claimants to pursue a claim against VW, noting that VW has being settling legal actions involving emissions in multiple jurisdictions. In Germany, settlements to car owners have ranged from £1,190 to £5,540 depending on the age, model and cost of the vehicle. Last year Anexo incurred £2.9m in marketing and staff costs to drive VW claimant counts and analysts pencilled in a further £2.7m investment this year.
It’s well worth doing. That’s because based on an average claim size of £3,000 with Anexo taking a 50 per cent commission, then the 14,356 claimants Anexo has so far recruited could generate the company an operating profit of £16m after accounting for all costs. The respective potential operating profits are £23m for 20,000 claims, and £34m for 30,000 claims. These are sizeable one-off profits for a £155m market capitalisation company and are not embedded in Panmure’s forecasts.
