quarterly report

Berlin, 7 November 2011 (euro adhoc) - The strategy of expansion
rigorously pursued in the first nine months of 2011 enabled the
Hypoport Group to raise its revenue by an impressive 31 per cent to
EUR58.8 million. The Company also increased its EBITDA by 13 per
cent.

A comparison between the first nine months of this year and the
corresponding period of 2010 clearly illustrates that the Hypoport
Group generated double-digit percentage growth in all its revenue and
earnings figures. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ronald Slabke
commented: "What people are now looking for from financial services
more than ever before is safety, security, transparency and, above
all, impartial advice that takes a holistic view of their needs. Our
business models, our cutting-edge technology and the expert advice
provided by our inhouse sales professionals satisfy these client
preferences and explain the success of our organisation".

Revenue rose by 31 per cent to EUR58.8 million (Q1-Q3 2010: EUR44.9
million). All business units contributed to this growth. Gross profit
advanced by 19 per cent to EUR32.2 million on the back of the
significant expansion of market share (Q1-Q3 2010: EUR27.1 million).
Consequently, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 13 per cent to EUR7.8 million (Q1-Q3
2010: EUR6.9 million).

The Financial Service Providers business unit benefited from benign
economic conditions and the considerable market reach of the
Europace, Genopace and Finmas marketplaces. Revenue growth was
boosted by our Europace technology's market penetration - which
continued to make progress as a result of the capital expenditure
committed in recent years - and strong demand for real estate. The
Private Clients business unit continued to strengthen its regional
footprint in both branch-based and agent sales. This segment is
expanding beyond its traditional core competence of mortgage finance
by generating substantial growth from its business in insurance
products. In the third quarter of this year the Corporate Real Estate
Clients business unit successfully closed the big-ticket deals that
it had announced in the previous quarter. By obtaining new funding
partners from the insurance industry it managed to further
consolidate its market leadership and improve the terms and
conditions offered to its customers. Institutional Clients - the
smallest of the business units - also successfully defended its
position as market leader and, consequently, made a valuable
contribution to revenue growth. Slabke still expects to see a
significant double-digit increase in revenue and very little
year-on-year change in net profit for the year as a whole.
