Hypoport SE: Business volume increases significantly in 2024

• Europace transaction volume for mortgages increased by 27% for the entire year of 2024
• Cooperative banks and savings banks saw a significant increase of around 50% each
• REM corporate financing faced a weak market environment in 2024
• The dynamics of customer acquisition on the residential property management platform continued at a high level (+37%)
• The premium volume of insurance portfolios migrated to or managed on SMART INSUR and ePension also continued to increase in 2024

Berlin, January 20, 2024: The operational key figures for the business models of the Hypoport Group developed almost exclusively positively in the past financial year 2024 compared to the previous year.

In particular, the mortgage finance business models within the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment contributed to the growth of the Hypoport Group due to an improved market environment and market share gains of the platforms Europace, Finmas, and Genopace. The loan volume for the purchase of existing properties performed particularly well. The combination of a continuously worsening rental supply and interest rates that have declined compared to 2023 prompted more consumers to purchase owner-occupied properties. This already led to a slight increase in residential property prices in 2024. To reduce their loan burden, consumers shortened the fixed interest period compared to 2023. The loan volume for residential construction remained low in 2024 due to excessive, inconsistent, and unstable regulations, resulting in high construction costs. The same applies to loans for energy-efficient renovations and the refinancing of expiring loan agreements.

In the corporate financing business model (REM Capital), the new business volume did increase; however, processing times for federal funding programs have significantly lengthened, and the implementation of related projects has been considerably delayed, leading to a significant decline in the realized business volume of corporate financing compared to 2023. The demand for loans from the residential sector for new rental housing and energy-efficient renovations remained at a low level in 2024, while the gain in market share on the residential property management platform remained high.

You can find the detailed development of the key figures for all three segments in the table below.
