Ad-hoc disclosure pursuant to section 15 of the German Securities Trading
Act (WpHG)

Strong start to the year with sharp year-on-year rise in earnings

Berlin, 15 April 2016: Based on the consolidated figures that were
evaluated at Hypoport AG's Management Board meeting today, revenue of
around EUR35 million (Q1 2015: EUR33.3 million) and Earnings before
interest and tax (EBIT) of at least EUR5.4 million are expected for the
first quarter of 2016. The EBIT rose year on year exceptionally strongly,
increasing by at least 40 per cent (Q1 2015: EUR3.8 million).

"Following a record-breaking year in 2015, I am delighted that we started
2016 with the strongest first quarter in the history of our company. We
achieved this despite the fact that the implementation of regulation in the
mortgage-loans market arising from the Mortgage Credit Directive has tied
up resources for banks, partners and for us, and had a negative impact on
new business.," commented Ronald Slabke, Chief Executive Officer of
Hypoport AG.

Hypoport will be publishing its financial results for the first quarter of
2016 on 2 May this year as planned.
