We'll now turn the floor to Mr. Franklin. Mr. Franklin, you may go on.
Thanks, Camilla. Good afternoon, everyone, and most welcome to the conference call to disclose our earnings for the first quarter 2022. I'd like to highlight that the results we're showing are indeed a consequence of effective execution of our strategic plans. Everything we've talked about since the IPO, and we reinforced three years ago when we started the cycle, is being delivered. The numbers show these deliveries and our true transformation of the company.
We are going to show you at the end of the cycle that we started three years ago, gives us the foundations to start a new cycle of development with growth, generating value, and a company at a completely different level. Highlights. First, net revenue of BRL 2 billion. For the first time, we hit the record of BRL 2 billion. What I would like to show that really makes us very encouraged is that for the first time in the history of Movida, even when we were growing a lot, we are seeing March larger than January. January was a very strong month, February a bit weaker with Omicron, but March went past January, both in occupancy and total revenue and revenue by car. Better yet, we are seeing April even stronger than March.
April is generally the worst month of the year, and this year it's been the best month, this year so far. Again, we are reaping the fruit of our strategy, our stores, with customer loyalty, getting new clients, which are the strengths for us to continue following our plans with confidence, investing in new cars, and generating value at a fair price. New cars, which are the cars that customers want to rent. EBITDA, BRL 863 million, 180% growth. Margin of 44%. This is an expansion of six percentage points. Here I want to reinforce, we don't have any non-recurring effect in the results of this quarter. This is all recurring. When we take a look at operating results, Movida is a reference in efficiency and operating results by car at any business unit.
You take a look at our operating cash flow, Edmar is going to talk about that. We are generating value in the operation. Finally, we are investing. When we talk about fleet renewal, we had very strong purchases in the fourth quarter 2021 that we paid in the first quarter 2022. In 2022, we invested a little less, but we are still the largest buyer in Brazil. This is part of our investment, and we are generating value with a fair price for our contracts and daily rates. EBITDA is very important highlight. Net income BRL 258 million. We kept to annualize about BRL 1 billion, even with increasing interest rates and financial expenses. This is our commitment. We are generating more and better operating results.
We are selling more cars, and we add results to offset the increase of interest and ensure the generation of value in the short, medium, and long term. This is our priority. The fourth highlight were, you know, the subsequent records that we are having in return on invested capital and return on equity. ROIC of 16.8 and ROE 34.6% LTM. Again, we are evolving a lot quarter-on-quarter, quite confident for future results with very good cost of capital and generation value to our shareholders. Total fleet, again, the growth of Movida is to highlight. We see 191,942, 57% year-on-year. If you take a look at our CapEx, we even have a higher growth because when I get a car of fifty.
Mm.
I replace it with a car of 80%, I am expanding. That's 80% growth in asset base that will generate revenue with the same yield on CapEx. As interest rates go up, yield goes up, so we are generating scale gains that are quite material for the company. Again, we are very comfortable with our strategy with the consistent execution and delivering company transformation. On the right of the slide, I draw your attention to four points. First, given the investments that we made and the renewal CapEx, we renewed 80% of our Rent-a-Car fleet, and so we are growing in all our businesses. Today, we have the newest fleets in the market, and that attracts new customers with loyalty. Customers from the competition that rent cars with Movida have a completely different car age of below nine months.
Our NPS is record, and that starts to be seen in the corporate segment. We are gaining share. When ABLA releases their numbers by rental company, you're going to see the difference in share. The number is still not public, but you're going to see that Movida is gaining share in the corporate segment with fair prices and delivering a completely different experience. Second point, demand continues resilient. We evolved the average daily rate, BRL 128 by car, 56% higher year-on-year. Remember, if you have a new fleet like us, you can charge a fair price. If you don't have a lot of new cars, you cannot charge the right price because you have lots of old cars.
The ROI of a new car is much better at Movida, which gives us the foundation to continue to grow fleet as we have demand. Our commitment is to generate value. Growth is a consequence. It depends on the market. Generation of value depends on us to grow with discipline. Third, the transformation we had in the company reinforce the strategic alliances that we have with OEMs. We bought 21,000 cars. That's 94% over the same quarter last year. That shows the relevance of Movida among automakers. In the last 12 months, it's also more than a thousand cars bought, 102,000 in a new ticket and generating value. Edmar is going to talk about that. The cars we bought appreciated, so we had the right strategy. Movida closes a scale gap with OEMs as well.
Finally, sales of 15,000 cars in 1Q 2022. Remember, we can choose to sell more or less, depends on the supply, depends on the market. If you have a new fleet, you can do that. If you don't have a new fleet, you don't have as much flexibility. We are opening new stores. 81 used car stores with a structure for higher volume and a new mix with an average ticket that is higher and higher, providing services to our customers online and in person. We have the foundations built, and we are leader in growth in the sector with the generation of value and profitability. Let's go to the next page now, and we are going to talk about our growth strategy with value generation in fleet. 69,000 cars, the largest growth in the market, 57% year-on-year.
Most of the growth organic. Some inorganic with CS Frotas and Vox already consolidated. Edmar Neto will refer to one in the second half of the year. Most of growth in rent a car and in fleet outsourcing and management. In fleet management, the strategy is to extend contracts. We have five-year contracts. We are extending contracts with private companies, having longer and longer contracts with a very good average ticket. We are going to talk about that with more than 2,400, with growth of 82% of our fleet. Average rates here is not a problem. If clients are comfortable with the time, it's okay. With that, we decrease depreciation risks, and the contract is very profitable long term, stable for the company's cash flow. In the rent car from 70,000 to 93,000 cars.
Again, if we get the average ticket growth even higher than 82% and average age nine months, the newest fleet in the market. Nine months even lower now. Lots of brand new cars, really bringing our customers to come with us with a record new customers month after month. Let's go to slide number five now. Here, just a reminder of the slides that we showed, the top important topics for us and to give you an update. First pillar, price transformation. We continue leading efficiency in pricing and pass-through of prices. Obviously, the newest fleet has enabled us to get to corporate clients and ticket average ticket of BRL 188. We want to continue grow, respecting the year seasonality, but thinking of high season always at higher prices that are suitable to the cars we have.
Much more modern, newer, and well-equipped, and a very good car mix. Revenue by car, which is even more important because occupancy and prices can vary. In January, for instance, we have more ticket and less occupancy. In low season, you have more monthly rentals. We are evolving in the mix, and we are for 14 consecutive quarters with the highest revenue per car. In fleet management, we continue to expand fleet, an expansion of 26%. Here what is most important, new contracts coming in with higher tickets, with an average of BRL 2,400 per contract. The average ticket continues to transform, growing quarter-over-quarter. At the end of the year, it's going to be even higher. The volume of implementation is accelerated, and also accelerates more or less average tickets.
Second pillar, strategic alliance with OEMs. We have the best relationship with all OEMs. I already talked about the 21,000 cars. There are 102,000 purchased and 6.5% share. What's most important, we are renewer of fleet with a better position. In the beginning, at our IPO, we said the following: Let's have a new benchmark in operational efficiency, and we are setting new benchmarks. Second, close the gap of margin for used cars. Third, scale and purchase of cars. We already have a scale, so the scale gap is closed, and the next step now is cost of capital. Because we have the lowest cost per car and the highest revenue, we are the most competitive company in the market. Third pillar, demand trends. Our new mix, SUV, electric cars, new products like Movida Cargo that is doing well.
The digital journey has been very good for clients, and the new fleet obviously helps us to have a company for the long run with new clients in the market. We have, you know, new taxpayer numbers all the time because we have a new fleet, and we are really growing our customer base, which gives us the certainty that the market will continue to grow in the mid and long term. We are going to have three very positive years for the industry. You have to see who is growing with more generation of value, discipline, and at fair prices for the assets that are being purchased. We are opening stores that enable us to go to new markets. 21 new points of sale and more will come in this year in markets where Movida is still not present.
That gives us demand and enable us to even have better prices at some stores. Used cars, our fourth pillar. Our younger fleet also helps us. You always ask the questions. The used car market is going down. Well, but we don't have used cars. We have almost brand-new cars, completely different. We have 15, 20,000 kilometers car, so the liquidity is very different. We are much more similar to brand-new cars. We offer a one-year guarantee. They are going to buy a car that is slightly used but cheaper than brand-new cars, so customers come to us. 15,000 cars sold with an average ticket of BRL 64,000, EBITDA margin of 21%. EBITDA margin is going to go down. The average ticket will go up with the mix.
If you get, you know, the first quarter 2022 vis-a-vis the fourth quarter, we sold retail, and we can choose that. Now we sold a bit more wholesale compared to the third quarter 2021, we have BRL 100,000 higher. An expansion of ticket quarter-over-quarter based on our strategy, and sometimes I go to one channel or to the other. This quarter, we're able to have a ticket that was very good. 11 new used car stores. We continue to open stores. You're going to see more in the second quarter, preparing the company for the future. Low-mileage cars that really set us apart. All pillars bring us comfort that the company is very well structured.
Page six, we are going to talk about consolidated results before I turn to Edmar to give you a color on numbers. Here it shows the gain of profitability and how that enables us to grow with sustainability and generating value. Remember, consolidated results are looking in the rearview mirror, LTM or in the quarter. If you get the first quarter 2022, BRL 1.9 billion, more than BRL 2 billion gross revenue, the average operating fleet is smaller than the end of the period, which was 20% higher. You saw the Rent-a-Car expansion. You saw the expansion of the GTF fleet. We are growing. If you analyze our numbers, our net revenue is almost BRL 8 billion. In March even higher than that, and so in April. The company is showing growth for revenues for the future.
The same applies for EBITDA, the best margin. We still don't have the comparison of the first quarter with very strong growth, BRL 863 million, annualized 3.5, which is completely different from the 2.8 LTM. Our current leverage, if you analyze the EBITDA, is 2.4x . That's not a small drop. EBITDA is growing, the company is growing. What I invested in the past ensures growth. If I stopped invest, I would have even better EBITDA. Our commitment is not to generate growth, but rather to generate value. EBIT the same, record BRL 650 million, BRL 2.6 billion annualized, and net income BRL 1.032 billion annualized, BRL 258 million in the quarter.
Transformational results that give us the comfort to carry on and continue executing our strategy, because what we have to do is a lot more than what we did so far. Edmar Neto, up to you now for the numbers.
Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks, Renato Franklin. I'd like to invite you all to take a look on slide number seven, where we bring to you the company's results under the lens of net revenue and EBITDA. Rent-a-Car, very strong quarter, 73% growth in revenue compared to the previous quarter. EBITDA, we went to BRL 169 to BRL 373. 121% growth in EBITDA, so more than double. We've reached a margin of 63%. Very strong and again, larger than the margin we delivered in the previous quarter and much larger than the margin of last year consolidated.
Fleet Management in yellow in the middle of the page, we see a growth of revenue even higher than in the Rent-a-Car business. As Renato mentioned, we get to BRL 397 million, almost BRL 400 million in a single quarter. Annualized number, we see already BRL 1.6 billion in Fleet Management. EBITDA in the bottom part of the slide, 72% margin. EBITDA of BRL 285 million, 187% higher than the same period last year. Finally, you take a look at the used car sales. We reached almost BRL 1 billion in revenue for the quarter, growth of 255%, which is a consequence of the increase in price and the amount of cars sold. Annualized numbers, we are talking about BRL 3.9 billion in the sale of used cars.
EBITDA in the bottom, the margin reached 21%, an important evolution compared to the same period last year and year-on-year growth of 463%. That is a five-fold increase. Huge advance. Looking into 2021, again, a consistent higher margin given the volume. In the footnote, we have an important point. We already, we were asked questions this morning about PIS/Cofins credits. So we recognize throughout the quarter, PIS/Cofins credits, coming from the accelerated depreciation that we adopted as of December last year. Roughly speaking, 75% goes to the Rent-a-Car business and 25% to Fleet Management. So, to us, that is recurrent and no longer considered an extraordinary effect. Let's go to page eight now, where we talk, and we have brought the slide in previous quarters about, the Rent-a-Car margin.
We recognize that there is a benefit on the margin of used cars. We are capturing that to grow the company. At the end of the day, what happens and what is important is what's going on with the Rent-a-Car margin. I have good news. In the first quarter, the margin was 51% in 2021. Now it is 66%. Here we are putting together Rent-a-Car and Fleet Management. EBITDA by car is also a record with 1,369 reals for the monthly rental in the quarter. Another thing that really has reinforced our position is the dynamics of cost plus car expenses. One year ago, the total of cost and expenses by car was close to 800 reals, and now we are close to 700. An important improvement, almost 15% year-over-year.
With that, the Rent-a-Car EBITDA alone, without considering used cars, reached almost BRL 2 billion. Looking back in the rearview mirror, that is last 12 months, and annualized more than 2.5, to be precise, BRL 2.6 billion in rental. We are preserving the company core and further advancing in profitability. To your right, we show the backlog in fleet management with all product lines, which is a new level, almost more than BRL 2 billion. Here talking about fleet management and private rentals, which is Movida, how Movida started. On the next page, we talk about our asset base. Year-on-year, our asset base increased more than BRL 6 billion if you think of book value. That again is a result of fleet expansion and renewal.
We enhanced our best efforts to have a renewed fleet in the first quarter 2022. As Renato mentioned, we are 80% of the Rent-a-Car fleet, but after 21, that is, the average age is very low. The dotted line is a year-on-year comparison for asset appreciation, so it shows that our assets have a cushion of 21%. In the footnote, we say something that is very important. The efforts we made to keep a young fleet because it helps the company twofold in customer experience and also in efficiency, because it helps the company to be very competitive in terms of costs and expenses. On the next page 10, we bring to you a section that is always part of our presentations.
It's always in our press release, and we are bringing it to you to show what we did in the last 18 months and more specifically in the last year. In terms of return, the company this quarter is delivering an all-time high and return on equity, BRL 34.6, and return on invested capital, BRL 16.4, keeping the ROIC cost of debt of about 10 percentage points. On the right, we show our earnings per share. What happened in the period in our earnings per share, it almost doubled on an annual basis. We went from BRL 0.37 per share to BRL 0.71. Annualized numbers, it is BRL 2.85 with an appreciation that is even lower than the 95% growth.
Let's talk a bit about our cash position, and here I'll try to address some questions we got during the day. We closed the quarter with BRL 3.6 billion, and we settled a debenture on the second. Pro forma our position is BRL 4.6 billion, and we have a coverage of approximately four years. It's important to remind you all the efforts that we had for issuing the bonds, and that has a benefit of substantially extending our average tenor. Today, we have been always talking about 7+ years of average term, which gives us the comfort for execution. We had approval of BRL 800 million in IDB credit lines, which shows access to different sources of capital, and also the company maturity in governance and ESG, because this credit line also has a green component.
On the right, we bring two important pieces of information. One, EBITDA for covenant, we are at BRL 2.8, and we reconcile that on page 19 of our press release because our accounting number is BRL 2.6, but our debt's bring the possibility of including the EBITDA of acquired or merged companies as in the case of CS. The difference of BRL 200 million is shown on the press release, and it has to do with the 6 months of addition. In addition, net debt, BRL 8.5 billion, a growth of BRL 5.2 billion, has to do again with the increase of assets, because all our important assets are cars. The car base, the asset base increased by almost BRL 6 billion, and therefore it continues to be positive.
Finally, in terms of leverage, we posted 3x , following our covenants, and Renato already mentioned 2.4 if we were to stop to grow with the level that we have been delivering in a very consistent manner overall. In terms of cash dynamics, two more observations. The first, the suppliers line that is part of our working capital reduced by BRL 600 million, and this is fruit of the purchase dynamics, that is we grew CapEx more and the fleet more in the fourth quarter and now a bit less, and that shows a difference of BRL 600 million. At the same time, because we increased the fleet, new cars were implemented. The asset increased by BRL 700 million. So here alone we have a BRL 1.3 billion variation.
Additionally, because the exchange rate is very relevant to us, we have BRL 900 million of exchange rate variation. Cash-wise, we continue with a very conservative policy. Considering that we are always going to be observing this covenant of three times, as we have been doing in recent times. Generally in the first quarter it goes up a bit because we grow in the fourth quarter. With that, I'm going to turn back to Renato to close the presentation. Renato.
Thanks, Edmar. Let's go to slide number 12 to talk about something that has been very dear to us, sustainability and ESG. Once again, the first company to report an integrated report. Lots of information on our IR website. About this infographic that represents our ESG agenda.
From inside out, you see our pillars: better company, better mobility, better planet, and the actions that we have. You see these numbers. These are the number of actions that we are addressing here. We have our targets. That is our objective to each of those areas. Finally, the projects that are ongoing and how they are and what we are doing. This is a summary mapping of our ESG strategy. Of course, there is a lot more than you see here, but our main initiatives are very clear with this nice infographic. Go and take a look at our integrated report. Now I'm going to ask you to go to page 13 for us to close and open for your questions. On slide 13, we try to bring to you a summary of a consistency in our execution.
The first topic is growth. Movida has really stood out as the best in class in terms of expansion and fleet renewal, with very strong investments that are generating value. In the second quarter 2020, when we decided to keep a new fleet, people challenged our strategy. The numbers show it was a right strategy. The cars we bought were appreciated, and clients today prefer Movida. We are the fastest growing rental car company. Sequential increases in our average ticket, better alliances with OEMs, and the focus on individuals, those that choose to work with us. We already see the difference in the level of service and people are coming to Movida. We see more and more customer loyalty. We are gaining share, and we have a lot of room to grow. Second pillar, profitability.
Higher EBITDA margin, efficient management of costs, and here we already have more opportunities, but we are the lowest in the market. We still have investments in automation, efficiency, and technology. The newest fleet in the sector, as Edmar mentioned, which is a benefit to us. We continue to focus on profitable segments at low cost. We are not going to have yield just for the sake of it. We have low mileage by car to ensure good resale amounts. Capital structure, Edmar said it well, leverage stable. Extension of the amortization schedule. Today, the average time really stands out when we talk about balance sheet and more and more new funding sources that give access to capital to us. EBITDA gains enable us to expand with a stable leverage. Returns, our main commitment for the long term.
Record ROIC and ROI, growing profit per share, and today we have the best marginal return with selective growth. Our returns are better because we have a less cost by car than other competition. In summary, we transformed the company. We are the company that most grows in the industry that evolved in profitability. BRL 8 billion in revenues, BRL 1 billion net income, and we still have a lot more to do. We are starting the new cycle with the same energy that we had eight years ago, and we have been here since the beginning. We are at 2% ROIC. We are going to open for your questions, but we thank you very much for joining us today.
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll now start the Q&A session. To ask a question, please press star one.
To remove your question from the list, press star two. Our first question comes from Gabriel Rezende from Itaú.
Hello, Renato, Edmar. Good morning. Congratulations on your results. Thanks for taking my question. I have two questions. First, about the rental car prices. Renato mentioned that sometimes the service mix enables us to have higher tickets with lower occupancy. Given the positive surprise we had this quarter, was it due to the service mix? Further on, should we expect a daily ticket and a marginal increase in occupancy? Second question about fleet management prices. If you can talk about the dynamic, it's clear that new contracts have a different price, and I think that has to do with Movida brand new cars.
On the other hand, we would like to know what is going on quarter-on-quarter, and why we don't see an increase even with the good numbers of the first quarter 2022. Thank you very much.
Hi, Gabriel. Thanks for your question. First, the Rent-a-Car business. As you mentioned, the ticket is going up and it continues so. The main impact of occupancy is this. In January, it is more daily rate. There was a bit of the Omicron variant that impaired a bit of rentals. The demand was slightly lower, and it was back in March. Even without the Carnival in March, in March, we went back to more normal levels of occupancy with a good ticket. In April, we are improving tickets and occupancy.
What we expect is what you said, high occupancy close to 80%, so marginal gains of occupancy and higher gradual tickets. Remember, we have seasonality. June is a high season. April was good. May, it was a long month. Corporate is supporting us. June and July should be very strong. We have high hopes for July. Rent-a-Car controlled with a growing fleet. We held it for the Carnival in April, and we are preparing for the high season. April generally is a bad month, and you decrease the fleet. Because this year it was a good fleet, we, a good month, we held the fleet. Fleet Management, our strategy was, you know, to focus on Rent-a-Car and there were clients that were discussing their budget.
We were renegotiating contracts with clients, and there is still some to be captured. You're going to see the ticket per car in Fleet Management growing gradually due to the implementation of new contracts and also by adjusting prices at existing contracts. Things that we have already agreed with clients, but we were a bit careful to keep a good experience, renegotiated renewals for the future. We gained flexibility in implementation and in prices, which was a win-win. With this, I could keep cars in the Rent-a-Car business that was doing well and ensuring the growth of Fleet Management for the future. Thank you very much for your questions.
Our next question comes from Fernanda Recchia from BTG Pactual.
Hello, everyone. Good afternoon, Renato, Edmar. Thanks for taking my question. I have two questions.
First, car prices, used car prices. For the first time, we see a small deceleration quarter-on-quarter on prices and margins. I would like if there is a mix effect or if you see prices going down and what do you think is going to happen for the coming quarters. Profitability, I'd like to explore the Rent-a-Car margin. There was this effect of PIS/Cofins, but just for a month. So in my math, we should have an effect of BRL 6 million-BRL 7 million. Other than this effect, the margin would go down quarter-on-quarter. I would like to understand if my analysis is correct and why. Of course, you opened more stores, but is there anything else that motivated the drop?
Hi, Fernanda. Thanks for your questions. Okay. Prices in used cars do not go down.
Here you have an issue of mix and sales channel. We only sold 12,000 and a bit more wholesale compared to the third quarter, 6,000. You are going to see prices continue to go up. The trend is for the prices to go up based on the mix that we have to sell. We can have variations, but according to what we have to sell, that's it. Margins do go down. The trend of margins is for them to go back to normal. They are going to go down gradually. It's lower than what we had thought before because we are still having problems with the supply of new cars. The margins are capped, but they are going down.
As you start to sell more volume, we continue to generate value contributing to the results, but with lower margins and prices going up. Rental car profitability is seasonal. The fourth quarter is higher than the first quarter. In the fourth quarter, you have December, a very strong month. In the first quarter you have holidays and vacations, and that affects the first quarter. If you remove the stability, you have gains of margins in addition to PIS/Cofins credits. I don't know if Edmar would like to add.
Yes. Seasonality explains that. Number two, we grew a lot in the fourth quarter, especially in the end of the quarter, and the cars were implemented in the first quarter. That also has an impact on margins. You see the rental car fleet increased substantially from the fourth to the first quarter.
For the next quarter, as Renato mentioned, we are seeing it even stronger than the first quarter. Thanks, Fernanda.
Thank you.
Our next question comes from Bradesco BBI, Victor Mizusaki.
Hello, I have two questions. The first on slide nine, in a bit of a follow-up in the sale of assets. When you take a look at this table and the potential market value, does it make sense for us to consider that this could be a gross margin at the end of the asset, and in this way you would have a gross margin likely above 20%. My first question is if the rationale makes sense.
Second, the integrated report, you said that your target for 2030 is about 20%, and I would like to know electric car, and that would be more in the rental car business, more in fleet management. Where do you think that this would make more sense?
Thanks, Victor. Okay. The first point, it is close to that, to the gross margin. If we sold all assets today, as a reminder, remember that when you talk about inventory, if we decreased gross, we would have a completely different generation of value. We can deleverage the company very fast. We depreciate assets considering when we are going to sell the car, how much they are going to be appreciated at the time of sale for us to deliver a good gross margin.
The idea, you know, is not to keep the margin that we have now because it's not normal of the business. The point is, everything that we bought in 2021 and people thought we were paying a lot is worth more than the price we paid for. It was the right decision, other than investing our money elsewhere. We believe that we still can buy and rent at fair prices and continue having a new fleet. That's the first point. The second point is not really a target. We have a target to reduce emissions 30%. This is what we have in the issued bond. Then with this, we have to have clean energy in the stores, the use of ethanol, and consider up to 20% between hybrid and electric cars. Hybrid and electric cars for 2030.
We should have even more than that in the regular fleet. It's like SUV that went up and the turbo 1.0 engines. The new wave are hybrid engines. You see that we are going to grow. You see Corolla, several cars that are launching hybrid cars. These are cars that will have more demand than gas only driven cars. Then there is a question that people always ask me back in the time we bought Hyundai. People said, "Oh, you're buying at a higher price." We can buy because there are clients that are interested and we generate value. We see a natural growth with some investment in structure to help clients to have a solution, and that will happen naturally. I think it's going to be an even higher number than this one.
This was a target we set way back in the past.
Okay, thank you very much.
Thank you, Victor.
Our next question comes from Lucas Barbosa from Santander.
Good afternoon, Renato, Edmar. Congratulations on your results. Thanks for taking my questions. My question about financial profit and losses. You talk about a negative result of BRL 368 million in subsidiaries. Could you give us a bit more color? It has to do with the hedge accounting, and it's not in the financial profit and loss, and it's only going to be entered in book value when you have the end of the swap. Is that correct?
Yes, that's absolutely correct. The company adopted the practice of having a hedge for our cash flow, and that survives while the debt is in place.
In the case of the bond, it goes up to 2031. Because you have the mark to market, remember that exchange rate went down in the first quarter, and then you have to have the whole portfolio according to the market value. Because you're going to recognize the results a long time for this line of encompassing results, it is included, and it is connected to the existence of the debt. That is a correct understanding. Remember, this goes until the end of the debt. Yes. Yeah, you have to think of the concept, Lucas. The company does not have exposure to exchange variation, full stop. You have the bond, and then you hedge it so that you have protection. Right now, the Brazilian real was appreciated, and we recognize that in the line that you mentioned.
Thank you. Very clear, Renato.
If you allow me a second question about your plans for the receiving of cars from OEMs. Is there a time that you're going to have more deliveries this year? Or is it more or less equally distributed over time? Just for me to understand your negotiations with the OEMs.
Thanks, Lucas. Well, what we agreed to with OEMs is a growing volume, so the second half stronger than the first half of the year. Today when we talk to OEMs, there is a bit of unpredictability. Some OEMs are having problems in April, others in May, others in June. That's it, you know. Problems are, you know, present all the time. Sometimes you have problems with the import of parts, sometimes you have problems with inventory. But we are well-positioned.
We are attracting more customers, and if we don't have cars to buy, our cars are the newest, so we are going to be okay. We are quite well prepared. Now, are we going to meet the objective with each OEM? We do not know. Some may deliver a bit less, others more. Sometimes we can have better discounts. I think the advantage is that we are working with more OEMs. That gives us diversity and reduces the risk. The volume grows month after month.
Thank you, Renato. Very clear. Thank you, Edmar, for your answers.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Felipe Minton from Citibank.
Hello, everyone. Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. I have two questions on my side. I'd like to understand the Uber share in your Rent-a-Car results.
I know Uber's lost share in recent time, so I would like to know what you see from here on and how important it is for your bottom line in the future. Second question, I'd like to understand the following. You said that results showed lots of organic growth and the merger of some acquisitions, although most of the growth was organic. For the future, what are your plans? Continue with organic growth, or do you intend to merge more companies or having other acquisitions? That is, how much do you intend to grow inorganically for the future?
Hi, Felipe. Thanks for your questions. Well, Uber continues with a small share. It has never been our focus, less than 5%. This is a small business generating profitability but controlled. Movida Cargo, then that's delivery for e-commerce.
In terms of labor, those drivers that worked for Uber are working for the Movida Cargo. We have exclusivity with vans. They are diesel-driven, so that has helped us a lot as a competitive advantage. As for growth, most of it organic. Generally, we look into our acquisitions every day, comes new offers. Things like Marbor, they are niche operations that help us in sales channels, in footprint in the different niches, and that enables me to focus on my margins and not focus on clients that have a low ticket. For small acquisitions that really focus on a niche market with good cars, we always look into them, and if it makes sense, we will buy. Our growth is organically among individual used cars and rental car.
Remember, we have a digital footprint, new assets, and motivation of our people. Customers are happy, the cars are new, so we are very much prepared to continue to grow among individuals. Thanks for your questions, Felipe.
Thank you.
Our next question comes from Isabella Lemos from UBS.
Good afternoon, everyone. Edmar, Renato, thanks for taking my questions. I have two questions. One is more specific for the price of new cars in fleet management. We saw a substantial increase. Is it because of electric cars? Is it because of SUVs? Also, I would like to know if we should expect the same level for the future. The second, also in fleet management, but in organic growth. You talked about the Movida brand new cars, so that's your focus. It's highlighting growth. How can you...
What can you share with us in terms of percentage of your fleet and how you are evolving for the future? What kind of demands you are having? Just a bit more color for us to understand the segment. Thank you very much. Hi, Isabella. Thanks for your question. Well, the two things are very much connected. The price of fleet management car, remember the volume was lower. We bought more cars in the fourth quarter, and this quarter we implemented them. What we bought now, higher ticket, smaller amounts. Why is that? You have a bit of CS, and then you have brand new cars, which are presently reflecting the retail mix.
If you go to retail mix, you see SUV in the first line. These are the cars that we are selling.
These are the cars that our customers want, and these are the ones that we are going to sell in the retail. It is good to sell in the retail those cars that are sold in retail, that are wanted in retail. When you ask the size of our fleet we have to sell, we do not disclose numbers, but we have ready-to-deliver cars. Go online, you're going to see there are lots of people that are closing deals online, and there are things for us to deliver today, tomorrow. The level of service that we deliver is completely different from the whole of the market, and we can price that, and it helps us with our ticket. Yeah.
We don't give colors on size, but we say that this product has delivered better margins than the traditional fleet management number. So it is one of the levers that explain the growth of margin from 59% in the first quarter last year to 67%-70% if you consider the credit in fleet management. So under all perspectives, we have an evolution of 10% in margins. Fleet management and brand new cars are very important for this increase.
Okay. Thank you very much. Very clear answers. Thank you.
Thank you.
As a reminder, if you have a question, just press star one. Our next question comes from Regis Cardoso from Credit Suisse.
Hello, everyone. Renato, Edmar, good afternoon. Thanks for the question. I have three topics. One is your fleet distribution amongst the different segments.
You had substantial growth of number of cars in the quarter, so I would like to know the breakdown between the segments, fleet management with the drop and a higher exposure in the rental car. I would like to understand this dynamics because we thought that between the backlog of corporate clients and the brand new cars, you would have a very strong demand in fleet management, particularly if you think that brand new cars should be at a pace of more than 1,000 cars in the month, but you had just an addition of 300 cars. One thing related to that is the evolution of the average age of your fleet for the rent car below nine months, so it seems that you are back to normal.
I would like you to tell us if there is still any advance to be made. In Fleet Management, what called my attention was an increase in the average fleet age of more than three months. I would like to understand what is behind that. Is it because new cars are not coming? Is it the contract? I don't know exactly why this is happening. Finally, a final question. Sales prices going down, consolidated numbers at 1,000 BRL per car. I would like to know why, if this has to do with higher discounts, demand, depreciation rates going back to normal.
Okay, Regis, let's go. First question, the breakdown between Rent-a-Car and Fleet Management is something that we have flexibility.
In beginning of November, I put everything in the Rent-a-Car for December. In the end of December, you go to Fleet Management. For this quarter, because we had a holiday in March and Carnival, and there was a demand in the Rent-a-Car, we decided to have the new cars in the Rent-a-Car. The cars that were bought in December, we increased Fleet Management. We grew 6,000 cars. As I mentioned before, we postponed some corporate clients, and we negotiated things, and we decided to have implementation in the second quarter because of Carnival. That was April. April was very strong to us. Now I'm going back to this possibility. In Fleet Management, we want to have longer contracts, and we are trying to have, even with individuals, contracts of four years.
The idea is to increase the average age. But remember that I can always replace cars. If I have something that makes sense for me to renew the cars and I can do that and generate value for the company, I will. That will have an impact on used car prices. Because, see, remember, you have to see, you have a car. If I can sell it on wholesale for BRL 60,000. If I can't buy the same car for BRL 60,000, it's a no-brainer. I change, I replace the car, and I make money. The supply of OEMs together with my capacity to sell cars in retail or wholesale makes me choose to renew one make or another. This has been something that we have been doing since the beginning of Movida, and therefore, you have this variation in average prices.
It went down BRL 1,000. That is a variation for the quarter. You know, every month you have ups and downs, but overall, you are increasing prices. We don't see car prices going down. Just a natural fluctuation of the business. Okay, and if you allow me, depreciation. Do you think it's back to normal, or do you think it will continue to grow?
Regis, this is Edmar speaking. Let's split the things. In the Rent-a-Car, annualized numbers, we are going to more than BRL 4,000, and we believe that this is going to be the minimum level from now on, because prices are close to BRL 90,000 for new cars. As Renato mentioned, there is still part of the fleet to be renewed, so there are some increases to come, but at a lower speed.
Now, when you take a look at fleet management, then you have three business units, as we treat it internally. Individuals, fleet management, and brand-new cars. For brand-new cars, the depreciation is different from in fleet management. It is going to continue to go up, but now at a slower pace than the Rent-a-Car, which is very close to the levels it should be. If you take a look at, analyze the figures, it is already past the 4,000, but it should go up still. Particularly because of what Renato mentioned, which is the mix. If you take a look at the mix of fleet management and the fleet of brand-new cars, you see that it is slightly more premium. We should have also a consistent decrease, but at a lower speed.
In the Rent-a-Car, and you take a look on page 10 of the press release, it went down fast, and now it's coming up because of renewal. In Fleet Management, because the renewal takes more time, it went down less, and it will be kept up for a longer time.
Okay. Thank you very much, Edmar and Renato.
Thank you. Since there are no further questions, we are going to turn the call to the company management for their final considerations. Gentlemen?
Well, once again, we would like to thank you very much, especially Movida team that really has made a difference. Our suppliers, creditors, investors, those that are supporting us. Lots of people doubted our strategy in the past. It's proved to be the brightest.
We are delivering a transformation for the company, and we are always certain that the best is yet to come. Transformation is huge, and very few people are really seeing it. We believe that there is still a lot to be collected from the transformation that we had. Thanks again. Have a wonderful afternoon, and we keep on going.
Movida's conference call is now closed. We thank you very much for attending and wish you a good afternoon.
