Explanation:
Tough without more context. What kind of company is it? What comes before and after this sentence? More or less guessing based on the other terms (new business revenues, leasing market data), but my first guess is "portfolio", i.e., the "inventory" of transactions on hand based on the different interest margins.

I\'d still stand by portfolio. The first stage of the system will emphasize processing/obtaining/reporting of data/info pertaining to revenues, new business (sales stats) (if these are two separate items and not one item), and the porftolio of lease agreements held (based on interest margins). Leasing companies hold \"portfolios\" of lease agreements, just like other financial investments are held in portfolios.

Explanation:
The reference is to Erträge rather than Neugeschäft, I believe, i.e. the money to be earned and the money already in the till.
