JDC with quarterly revenues of over EUR 50 million for the first time -
clearly positive development in the investment and insurance business

  * JDC Group's revenues increased in the first three months of 2024 by
    around 22 percent year-on-year to EUR 53.3 million


  * At EUR 4.1 million, EBITDA is around 28 percent higher than in the same
    quarter of the previous year; EBIT rises by around 40 percent to EUR 2.5
    million


  * New business orders grow by more than 13 percent; number of portfolio
    transfers even increases by around 58 percent


JDC Group AG (ISIN DE000A0B9N37) shows significant revenue and earnings
growth with the figures published today for the first quarter of 2024. Group
revenues grew by 21.6 percent to EUR 53.3 million in the first three months
of 2024 compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Quarterly
revenues also significantly exceeded the revenues of the fourth quarter of
2023 and exceeded the EUR 50 million mark for a quarter for the first time.

In addition to the continued strong insurance business, the reinvigorated
investment and financing business in particular is contributing to revenue
growth and the real estate and investment business is also picking up again.
The key figures for the Group's business development are therefore all
positive: the number of new orders rose by around 13 percent and the number
of portfolio transfers initiated even increased by around 58 percent. New
business in the life and motor vehicle insurance products developed
particularly positively: The motor vehicle insurance product group impressed
with application growth of over 60 percent and life insurance with
application growth of around 25 percent compared to the same quarter of the
previous year. The insurance premiums managed in the portfolio thus amounted
to over EUR 1.2 billion for the first time.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose
by around 28 percent to EUR 4.1 million in the first three months of 2024
(Q1 2023: EUR 3.2 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for
the first three months of 2024 rose by around 40 percent to EUR 2.5 million
(Q1 2023: EUR 1.8 million). Consolidated net income improved significantly
to EUR 2.1 million in the first quarter after EUR 1.4 million in the same
period of the previous year.

Both business segments - Advisortech and Advisory - were able to benefit
from this development.

The Advisortech segment increased its revenue by 22.6 percent to EUR 48.3
million in the first three months of 2024 (Q1 2023: EUR 39.4 million).
Compared to the strong previous quarter of Q4 2023, this represents further
growth of 13.9 percent (Q4 2023: EUR 42.4 million).

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose
by around 27.9 percent to EUR 4.2 million in the first three months of 2024,
significantly exceeding the previous year's figure of EUR 3.3 million.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) also rose by around 32 percent to
EUR 3.0 million in the first three months of 2024 (Q1 2023: EUR 2.3
million).

In the Advisory segment, revenues also increased in the first three months
of 2024 compared to the same period of the previous year. They rose by
around 7 percent to EUR 8.7 million (Q1 2023: EUR 8.2 million).

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in
the Advisory segment rose slightly by more than 10 percent to EUR 0.7
million in the first three months (Q1 2023: EUR 0.6 million). Earnings
before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose by around 26 percent to EUR 0.4
million in the first three months of 2024 (Q1 2023: EUR 0.3 million).

"The first quarter was very convincing. Never before have we started a year
so strongly. All KPIs are pointing in the right direction and despite
significant investments in Summitas and our share buyback program, we are
seeing a very positive development in our liquidity. We look forward to
continuing like this!" says Ralph Konrad, CFO of JDC Group AG.

"We are pleased that our insurance business continues to grow strongly and
that the investment and financing business has now also picked up again. We
have further expectations for the real estate and investment business, where
we see a positive trend again. We therefore see great opportunities for the
rest of the financial year!" explains Dr. Sebastian Grabmaier, CEO of JDC
Group AG.
