Hypoport reports solid earnings for nine-month period despite market conditions remaining difficult
Revenue in the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment received a significant boost from the considerable rise in transaction volumes on the Europace, Finmas and Genopace platforms and in sales volumes generated by Dr. Klein. This volume growth was attributable to gains in market share and the steady recovery of the private property market. The uptrend in the overall market is being driven by a rental accommodation market that is becoming steadily less attractive and is increasingly ceasing to be an alternative to home ownership for middle-income earners. In addition to this trend, which has been ongoing for years, mortgage finance interest rates fell significantly compared with 2023 and consumers realised that, following the price decreases observed up to the end of 2023, prices for existing properties will not fall any further. With higher revenue from the property sales platform and lower revenue in the market for property valuation, which remains challenging from a regulatory perspective, the revenue of the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment as a whole rose by 36 per cent to €231 million in the first nine months of 2024. Three different aspects shaped the performance of the Financing Platforms segment. In contrast with the weak prior-year period, the housing industry subsegment can look back on a successful first three quarters of 2024 despite lacklustre market conditions. Revenue rose by a double-digit percentage in total thanks to gains in market share across all products, with the property management platform for the housing industry recording exceptionally strong revenue growth. In the personal loans subsegment, the partner base expanded and market share increased. Nevertheless, the commercial banks’ ever more restrictive lending policies and a sluggish overall market meant that revenue was unable to achieve more than a high single-digit percentage increase. Although there was a rise in new business in the corporate finance business model (REM Capital), the volume of this business that was actually realised remained flat compared with the prior-year period. This was because project preparation and processing times for support programmes increased markedly. Changes in the composition of the type of advisory services sought led to a substantial reduction in revenue in the corporate finance subsegment. As a result, the segment as a whole increased its revenue by just 6 per cent (€54 million). In the Insurance Platforms segment, the migration of the insurance portfolios to the respective B2B platforms continued to progress in all three subsegments (private insurance, occupational insurance and industrial insurance), enabling revenue to edge up by 3 per cent to €48 million amid stable conditions in the overall market. “The initial positive effects of the mortgage finance market’s recovery are starting to be seen in the form of increased revenue and earnings in the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment in 2024,” says Ronald Slabke, Chief Executive Officer of Hypoport SE. “This improvement, combined with the contributions to earnings from the Financing Platforms and Insurance Platforms segments, shows that we are laying solid foundations for further profitable growth in the future despite market conditions remaining difficult this year. EBIT for the Group as a whole in the first three quarters of 2024 came to almost €12 million and is thus already within the target range set out in our full-year EBIT forecast of between €10 million and €20 million. The disproportionately robust rise in earnings reflects not only the strength of our scalable platform business models but also our cost structures, which we streamlined in 2023.”
