DGAP-News: Hypoport AG: Hypoport starts the year on an impressive note |
| Meldung : | DGAP-News: Hypoport AG / Key word(s): Quarter Results Hypoport AG: Hypoport starts the year on an impressive note 05.05.2014 / 08:29 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Press release Financial results for the first quarter of 2014 Hypoport starts the year on an impressive note Berlin, 5 May 2014: Online financial service provider Hypoport has begun this year with a strong set of financial results. The Company generated revenue of EUR28 million in the first quarter of 2014. Its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) rose sharply year on year to EUR3.1 million. Revenue grew by 29 per cent to EUR27.9 million (Q1 2013: EUR21.7 million) on the back of weather-related demand for real estate which was exceptionally high for the first three months of a year; this result underscores the Hypoport Group's strong starting position in 2014. First-quarter EBIT jumped by EUR3 million to EUR3.1 million (Q1 2013: EUR0.1 million). "We are delighted to see that the work we have done in recent years has paid huge dividends across all Hypoport business models in the first quarter. Never before has Dr. Klein provided more consumers and companies with impartial advice on the purchase of residential property or on insurance and investment products, and never before have more mortgages, personal loans and building finance agreements been brokered on EUROPACE under our best-advice approach. This is a resounding success on the part of all our employees and partners," commented Ronald Slabke, Chief Executive Officer of Hypoport AG, on the Group's performance. "Although we are currently seeing a lull in regulatory activity, there unfortunately remains a great deal of uncertainty about future market intervention by lawmakers. It is highly regrettable that politicians repeatedly act in ways that actually harm consumers' interests and stifle free competition in this sector in favour of conventional business models." This encouraging start to the year confirms that Hypoport is on the right track with its forecast for 2014 as a whole, for which Slabke continues to expect double-digit revenue growth and earnings above the record levels seen in 2010 and 2011.
