The Hypoport Group looks back on stable business performance in the first nine months of the 2026 financial year. In an overall declining market, the network-based technology company increased its gross profit by 5 per cent year-on-year to 207 million euros. At the same time, the group succeeded in noticeably strengthening its operational earning power: the EBIT margin improved from 12.0 per cent to 14.5 per cent.
This positive development was supported by the business models of all three operational divisions. In particular, the core segment Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms proved to be a key driver. With stable financing volumes, newly introduced products and services led to slightly increased gross profit in private real estate financing. In addition, the property valuation platform VALUE recorded significant gross profit growth and contributed a positive EBIT to group earnings for the first time in the third quarter of 2026.
Overview of operational segment performance
Overall, the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment expanded its gross profit by 6 per cent to 129 million euros, whilst segment EBIT rose by 10 per cent to 36 million euros. The other business divisions showed varied trends, but also held their ground in a demanding market environment:
- —Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms: gross profit increases to 129 million euros, with EBIT rising to 36 million euros.
- —Financing Platforms: gross profit rises by 2 per cent to 51 million euros; EBIT remains stable at just under 4 million euros.
- —Insurance Platforms: the segment recorded continuous improvement in gross profit over the entire reporting period.
Business in the Financing Platforms segment was mixed. Brokerage activities for housing companies, medium-sized enterprises and consumers were characterised by subdued demand and more restrictive lending by banks as a result of higher interest rates and macroeconomic uncertainties. On the other hand, platforms serving the housing industry recorded significant new customer acquisitions, enabling segment gross profit to rise slightly.
Management Board draws positive interim conclusion
Ronald Slabke, Chief Executive Officer of Hypoport SE, expressed satisfaction with business performance over the first nine months. Against the backdrop of declining financing markets and a subdued willingness to invest among German companies, he noted that the group had succeeded in expanding market share through targeted acquisitions whilst simultaneously intensifying value creation with existing clients. The growth in gross profit, combined with an EBIT margin that was 2.5 percentage points higher, provides a solid foundation in a challenging industry environment.
