Hypoport starts 2025 with strong earnings in Q1

• Group revenue increases by 19% year-on-year to €159 million in Q1/2025

• Gross profit expands by 15% year-on-year to €66 million

• EBIT rises disproportionately by 88% to €8.6 million

• Recovery of business models in private real estate financing continues

Berlin, May 12, 2025: In the first quarter of 2025, gross profit increased by 15% and EBIT rose by 88% compared to Q1/2024. This strong growth was primarily driven by the continued recovery of the business models in private mortgages within the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment.

The rise in transaction volumes on the Europace, Finmas, and Genopace platforms, along with the sales volumes from Dr. Klein, significantly boosted gross profit in the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment. This was supported not only by market share gains, particularly within the cooperative banking sector, but also by a speeding recovery of the private real estate market in Germany. The positive development in the homeownership market in Q1/2025 is based on a steadily less attractive rental market, which is driving consumer interest in property acquisition, as well as on the interest rate impetus following the debt programs passed by the Bundestag in March. Complemented, albeit to a lesser extent, by increased revenues from property valuation and stable revenues from real estate marketing platforms, the Q1 gross profits of the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment rose by 20% to €41 million, with EBIT increasing by 53% to €13 million.

The performance in the Financing Platforms segment showed a heterogeneous development. The sub-segment of housing management recorded only a slight increase in gross profit due to a weak market environment, primarily driven by strong demand for the ERP platform. However, significant double-digit percentage increases in gross profit were achieved in the sub-segments of installment loans and corporate finance, leading to a total revenue and gross profit increase of 12% compared to Q1/2024. Nevertheless, EBIT fell from €1.0 million to €0.5 million due to high investments in the ERP platform for housing management.

The Insurance Platforms segment reported a slight gross profit increase of 2% to €8 million and a further modestly positive EBIT of €0.2 million.

Ronald Slabke, CEO of Hypoport SE, assessed the results of the past quarter positively: "The turnaround we initiated in 2024 in our most important market of private real estate financing continues into the start of 2025. Additionally, the ongoing development of our platforms is deepening the utilization of our partners. Together with them, we are gradually making property acquisition in Germany easier and helping more people move into their own homes."
