Based on preliminary business figures for the second quarter of 2026, the MLP Group reports a preliminary earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of around EUR 19 million. This amount significantly exceeds the result of the comparable prior-year quarter, which stood at EUR 4.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. This development underscores a positive trend in the Group's business activities.
The key factors contributing to the increase in earnings during the reporting period are multifaceted. A significant influence stemmed from an increase in assets under management, which typically reflects both growing client confidence and an expanding client base. Furthermore, higher performance-related remuneration contributed to this result, closely correlating with the performance of investment concepts in wealth management. These remuneration components are, by their nature, highly impactful on earnings.
Core Interest Income and Half-Year Balance
Similarly, interest income improved, an indicator of the efficiency of capital deployment and responsiveness to market conditions. These three components – asset growth, performance-related remuneration, and interest income – formed the cornerstones of the positive EBIT development in the second quarter of 2026.
The preliminary EBIT for the first half of 2026 totals approximately EUR 60 million. This figure also surpasses the result for the first half of 2025, which amounted to EUR 42.7 million. The continuous increase across both quarters underlines the stability of the MLP Group's operational performance in the current market period.
Full-Year Forecast Confirmed
Looking ahead to the remainder of the financial year, MLP reaffirms its previously communicated forecast. The Group expects an EBIT range of EUR 100 to 110 million for the full year 2026. This confirmation of the forecast indicates consistent strategic direction and a solid foundation for achieving the annual targets.
