Hypoport AG: Strong start to the year for Hypoport - Seite 2

product range and invested in establishing new business areas. The lower
number of big-ticket deals compared with the very strong first quarter of
2014 was within the volatility range in the business model, but resulted in
a dip in revenue and earnings. The business unit contributed EUR1.3 million
to consolidated EBIT (Q1 2014: EUR2.0 million).

"The first three months of the year have been very successful for Hypoport
AG and have actually exceeded our expectations," added Ronald Slabke.
"Based on the strong start to the year in all three business units, the
Management Board has revised its earnings forecast for 2015 as a whole."

Hypoport anticipates that its revenue for 2015 will grow at a low
double-digit rate. The Group also expects to widen its EBIT margin and,
consequently, to achieve disproportionately strong earnings growth.
