Hypoport raises its earnings forecast for the 2014 financial year

Berlin, 20 February 2015: The Hypoport Group raised its earnings forecast
for the 2014 financial year at today's Management Board meeting after
evaluating its consolidated management accounting figures.

The Management Board of Hypoport AG expects its previous earnings forecast
for last year - earnings above the record levels seen in 2010 and 2011 - to
be exceeded. The Company now believes it will generate earnings before
interest and tax (EBIT) in excess of EUR7.5 million (2013: EUR4.0 million)
for the 2014 financial year. Revenue will, as expected, have achieved
double-digit growth in 2014.

The main reason for revising this forecast is the strong fourth quarter of
last year. The fallout from the financial and sovereign debt crises
continues to radically transform the financial services market. Despite
this persistently challenging environment, all Hypoport business units
delivered impressive results for 2014 as a whole. The Private Clients and
Institutional Clients business units made especially valuable contributions
to last year's earnings growth.

Hypoport will be publishing its preliminary financial results for 2014 on 9
March this year as planned.
