Group results for Q1 2024

Hypoport gets 2024 underway with double-digit growth

* Consolidated revenue up 15 per cent year on year

* EBIT more than quadrupled to EUR4.3 million

* Mortgage finance business models particularly strong

  * Forecast for 2024 of revenue of at least EUR400 million and EBIT of
    between EUR10 million and EUR20 million confirmed



Berlin, 6 May 2024: In the first quarter of 2024, the Hypoport Group
increased its revenue by 15 per cent compared with Q1 2023 to EUR107 million.
The growth was driven by the business models for mortgage finance in the
Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment.

A considerable rise in transaction volumes on the Europace, Finmas and
Genopace platforms and in sales volumes generated by Dr. Klein provided a
significant boost for revenue in the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms
segment. Besides further increases in market share, this revenue growth came
on the back of an upturn in the market following a reduction in long-term
interest rates at the end of 2023, lower property prices and an increasingly
unattractive rental market, which is prompting many home seekers to more
seriously consider purchasing residential property. With higher revenue from
the property sales platform and lower revenue in the market for property
valuation - which remains challenging due to regulatory constraints and
fewer transactions - revenue for the segment as a whole came to EUR73 million
(up 24 per cent compared with Q1 2023).

Three different aspects shaped the performance of the Financing Platforms
segment. Despite a weak overall market, the housing industry subsegment
gained market share and generated double-digit revenue growth to get 2024
off to a good start. In the personal loans subsegment, the client base was
expanded, but ever more restrictive commercial banks and a weaker overall
market meant that revenue remained flat. In the corporate finance
subsegment, the volume of new projects decreased significantly in light of
the spending freeze for many government support programmes, more restrictive
lending by banks and postponements of corporate clients' investment plans.
Overall, therefore, the Financing Platform segment's revenue declined
marginally and was down by 6 per cent compared with the first quarter of
2023 to EUR17 million.

In the Insurance Platforms segment, the migration of the insurance
portfolios to the respective B2B platforms progressed in all three
subsegments (private insurance, occupational insurance and industrial
insurance), although the occupational insurance subsegment, centred around
the ePension platform, put in a particularly strong performance in the first
quarter of 2024 as a result of the clients acquired in 2023. Compared with
the first three months of 2023, the segment generated modest revenue growth
of 5 per cent to EUR18 million in a stable overall market.

Ronald Slabke, Chief Executive Officer of Hypoport SE, provided the
following assessment of the first quarter: "We have implemented a raft of
measures over the last 18 months in order to create added value, with a
particular focus on the mortgage finance market, which is currently
experiencing a phase of upheaval. The first fruits of this additional market
penetration are now coming through in strong revenue growth. The growth in
EBIT for the Group as a whole is finally demonstrating the scalability of
our platform business models once again."
