Berlin/Frankfurt (euro adhoc) - • Total annual revenue 2006
already exceeded: Revenue soars by 74% in the first 9 months •
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) have grown even more
strongly • Diversified scalable business model offers further
potential for growth

30 November 2007: Hypoport AG, the internet-based provider of
financial services (ISIN DE0005493365, ticker symbol: HYQ), today
presented its results for the first nine months and the third quarter
of the financial year 2007 at a press conference in Frankfurt. These
figures demonstrate that Hypoport has been able to continue its
strong growth of the first six months into the third quarter.

Year-on-year, revenue in the first nine months increased by 74% to
EUR 29.2 million, thus exceeding the revenue of EUR 26.3 million
generated throughout the entire year 2006. The third quarter
accounted for EUR 10.2 million of total revenue, equivalent to an
increase of 49% over the previous year's figure of EUR 6.9 million.
The key earnings figures of Hypoport AG showed an even better
improvement. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased
nearly five-fold, amounting to EUR 4.4 million at the end of the
nine-month period, following EUR 0.9 million in 2006.

Group net profit increased by 181% from EUR 1.3 million to EUR 3.7
million. According to Prof. Dr. Thomas Kretschmar, Co-CEO of Hypoport
AG: "We are very satisfied with business development to date. Our
dynamic growth results primarily from the economies of scale
generated by our internet-based business model".

Successful development in all business divisions All four business
divisions of Hypoport AG contributed jointly to the successful
business development. The private clients business unit, which is
part of the all-round financial services division and accounts for
about 57% of Group revenue, was able to successfully defend its
position in a stagnating market environment coupled with unfavourable
developments in interest rates. The number of advisors was increased
significantly, which resulted among other things in a marked rise in
the number of transactions concluded.

In the first nine months, the unit generated revenue of EUR 16.6
million, 60% more than in the same period the previous year (EUR 10.4
million) and contributed EUR 2.8 million (previous year: EUR 1.6
million) to Group EBIT.

The corporate real estate clients business unit pushed ahead with
expanding its regional presence, which resulted in an increase in the
volume of new business arranged. The unit generated revenue of EUR
4.3 million in the nine-month period, following EUR 2.8 million the
previous year, and contributed EUR 1.2 million (previous year: EUR
0.5 million) to EBIT.

The B2B financial marketplaces business division comprises the
business units of financial service providers and institutional
clients. The financial service providers unit, which is the second
largest business unit and accounts for about 21% of Group revenue,
even managed to demonstrate stronger growth than the private clients
unit. In the first nine months, revenue increased by 75% from EUR 3.4
million to EUR 5.9 million. The development of the mortgage financing
segment was particularly successful, with transaction volumes
witnessing a further considerable increase in the third quarter. The
number of sales organisations that actively use the EUROPACE online
marketplace also increased tangibly. At EUR 3.1 million, the
financial service providers unit contributed the largest share to
Group EBIT (previous year: EUR 1.5 million).

The fourth and smallest business unit - institutional clients (IC) -
witnessed the strongest growth in revenue: from EUR 0.1 million in
the first nine months 2006 to EUR 1.7 million in the period under
review. This growth was mainly due to the acquisition of Hypoport
Netherlands B.V. at the end of 2006 and to an increase in the number
of clients. EBIT generated by this business unit improved to EUR -0.6
million compared with the previous year (EUR -0.9 million). IC is
still a young business unit that is currently in the investment
phase.

Huge potential Backed up by its successful business development over
the current year, Hypoport AG is looking optimistically to the
future. Over the coming months, the company will continue to focus on
pursuing its strategic aim of making the Hypoport Group one of the
leading vendors of financial services. Hypoport aims to further
strengthen its market position in spite of a stagnating market
environment, which is not expected to witness any appreciable
recovery in the fourth quarter either. According to Kretschmar: "Our
diversification within the Group puts us in an excellent position
from which to benefit from the changes to the financial services
market. We believe that the trend towards using the internet as a
source of information relating to financial service products coupled
with the subsequent advice provided by independent financial advisers
will continue to show dynamic progress. And these are precisely the
market needs served by Hypoport's business model".

More detailed information on Group development over the first nine
months and in the third quarter 2007 can be found in the current
third-quarter report, which can be downloaded from the Investor
Relations / Publications section at www.hypoport.de.

About Hypoport AG The Hypoport Group is an internet-based all-round
financial services provider. Its business model consists of two
reciprocally beneficial pillars - the sale of financial products and
the provision of a platform for transacting financial products via
the internet.

Dr. Klein & Co. AG, Hypoport's wholly owned subsidiary, provides
banking and finance products - ranging from current accounts to
insurance policies to mortgage financing - to private clients via the
internet and, if requested, offers advice both over the telephone or
face-to-face. Dr. Klein & Co. AG is an independent company that
selects the best products for the client from a wide range offered by
more than 100 well-known banks and insurance companies. The web-based
processes generate cost benefits that are passed on to the private
clients. This enables Dr. Klein to usually offer much better terms
than local banks, savings banks or insurance agents. In addition, the
corporate property clients division at Dr. Klein, which has been
operating since 1954, leads the market for financing municipal and
cooperative residential property companies.

Hypoport operates the EUROPACE B2B financial marketplace, which is
the largest German online platform for transacting financing
products. A fully integrated system links more than 30 banks with
several thousand financial advisors, thus enabling the quick and
direct agreement of contracts. The platform's highly automated
processes generate considerable cost benefits. Nowadays, EUROPACE
processes some 400 financing transactions every day. EUROPACE is also
used as an information platform for ABS transactions throughout
Europe.
