New long term incentive programme (LTIP)

  • Replacement of existing MEP (only valid for a limited amount of people, running out in 2019)
  • Started in Q3 2018 for key personnel of the company, around 90 participants as of today
  • Strong focus on performance (65%) with target achievement of 0%-200%, 100% implies at least double-digit revenue and profitability growth
  • Total P&L impact over 4 years (valued acc. to IFRS2 as of today) ~€77m, deviations to 2018 valuation driven mainly by share-price performance over last six months
  • Share-based payments, including LTIP, are reported as part of the non-operating items as its valuation is to a significant part driven by the share price development rather than operational activity

1) In November 2018, management committed to a plan to sell the subsidiaries FlowFact GmbH and FlowFact Schweiz AG, which are part of the ImmobilienScout24 segment. In the 2018 consolidated financial statements , these entities were accordingly classified and presented as a disposal group as of 31 December 2018. In April 2019, management decided to make a change to the original plan of sale. As a result of the change to the plan of sale, the criteria for classification as non-current assets held for sale are no longer all satisfied. Thus, the subsidiaries FlowFact GmbH and FlowFact Schweiz AG were no longer classified as disposal group in the Scout24 Group's interim consolidated financial statements. Consequently, the carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position as of 31 December 2018 have likewise been adjusted retrospectively.
