quarterly report/9-month report

Berlin, 8 November 2010 (euro adhoc) - Hypoport Group performance in
the first nine months of 2010 is reflected in significant
double-digit revenue and earnings growth. All business units
contributed to the excellent results. Worthy of note is the growth
generated by the Private Clients business unit, which also has a
positive impact on the performance of the EUROPACE platform. Results
for the full twelve months are expected to be similarly encouraging.

In the third quarter of 2010, the Hypoport Group's revenue and
earnings were up year on year for the second time in succession.
Revenue for the first nine months of 2010 climbed by 20 per cent to
EUR44.9 million (Q1-Q3 2009: EUR37.5 million). This double-digit
revenue growth was attributable to all parts of the Company's
business model. EBITDA rose to EUR6.9 million from EUR4.2 million in
Q1-Q3 2009, an increase of 66 per cent. According to Ronald Slabke,
CEO of Hypoport AG, "This is the best quarterly result of the last
three years and clearly demonstrates that, in the wake of the
financial crisis, Hypoport is successfully continuing on its
long-term growth trajectory." Each of the three large business units
- Private Clients, Corporate Real Estate Clients and Financial
Service Providers - contributed EBITDA of more than EUR2 million to
this excellent result. This underlines the fact that each pillar of
the business model is firmly rooted in its respective market and that
all segments interact in exemplary fashion.

Revenue in the largest business unit - Private Clients - was up by 22
per cent to EUR27.6 million (Q1-Q3 2009: EUR22.7 million). The idea
of recruiting customers via the internet is proving to be highly
lucrative in this business, as is the growing importance of
Hypoport's non-captive status. Slabke explains the business model in
more detail: "Instead of adopting a scatter-gun approach to
marketing, we only contact customers who have already shown an
interest in our products on the internet. Today's consumers prefer
not to be contacted directly until they have expressed an interest,
and - at a time when there is a real crisis of confidence and trust -
they expect to receive transparent and impartial advice." This has
driven the sharp growth in the number of advisers and has continually
strengthened the Dr. Klein brand. As a consequence, the Private
Clients business unit generated EBITDA of EUR2.7 million in the first
nine months of 2010, which was a year-on-year increase of 29 per cent
(Q1-Q3 2009: 2.1 million). Because the Private Clients unit uses the
EUROPACE platform to distribute its products, the success of its
business model has a positive impact on the level of transactions on
the platform.

The Financial Service Providers business unit achieved a new record
transaction volume of some EUR4.5 billion in the third quarter of
2010. This encouraging trend was driven by a steady increase in the
number of partners using EUROPACE and by an improvement in market
conditions. One of the main contributory factors here was the
widespread popularity of GENOPACE among German cooperative banks and
of FINMAS among the country's public-sector banks. This was also
reflected in the unit's revenue for the first nine months of 2010,
which rose to EUR10 million, an increase of 29 per cent on the Q1-Q3
2009 figure of EUR7.8 million. EBITDA rose significantly year on year
to EUR2.3 million (Q1-Q3 2009: EUR0.2 million).

The Corporate Real Estate Clients business unit increased its revenue
by 17 per cent to EUR5.7 million (Q1-Q3 2009: EUR4.9 million). Its
strategy of increasingly diversifying its operations by broadening
its product range and expanding its customer base is proving highly
successful. EBITDA stability was maintained, the figure edging up by
7 per cent to EUR2.5 million. Institutional Clients, the smallest of
the business units, generated consistent levels of revenue and
earnings on the back of its outstanding position in the Dutch market.
Revenue remained stable at EUR2.5 million, while EBITDA rose by a
modest 3.9 per cent to EUR0.8 million.

The current positive indicators for the German economy enable the
Hypoport Group to look to the future with optimism. However, the
financial services market remains highly volatile. Consequently, any
forecasts about this sector are subject to heightened uncertainty,
and the possibility of setbacks affecting the rate of economic growth
cannot be totally dismissed. As far as the forecasts for the Hypoport
Group are concerned in this context, Slabke comments, "We expect
Hypoport to achieve significant increases in its revenue and earnings
for 2010 as a whole and, despite the prevailing uncertainty, we will
continue successfully on our growth trajectory next year."
