● Continued dynamic growth in the third quarter of 2024
● Positive development in all business divisions
● Strong growth in Asset ManagementHamburg, 18 November 2024 -
Netfonds AG (ISIN: DE000A1MME74), a leading platform for administration, advisory and regulation for the financial industry, reports a strong business performance for the Group in the first three quarters of 2024.
With gross revenue of
EUR 56.2 million (Q3 2023:
EUR 48.4 million, +16.1%), the
Netfonds Group maintained its high level of growth in the third quarter of 2024. The record net revenue of
EUR 10.3 million in the third quarter (Q3 2023:
EUR 8.5 million, +21.1%) underlines this positive momentum. EBITDA reached
EUR 1.9 million in the third quarter (Q3 2023:
EUR 1.3 million, +46.6%). It also includes a one-off charge of
EUR 0.4 million from the reorganisation of the insurance division.
Gross revenue in the first nine months of 2024 totalled
EUR 168.6 million (9M 2023:
EUR 141.7 million, +19.0%), while net revenue amounted to
EUR 31.1 million (9M 2023:
EUR 26.1 million, +19.3%). EBITDA totalled
EUR 4.8 million after nine months (9M 2023:
EUR 3.2 million, +52.7%) despite the continued high level of investment in the finfire platform and the associated costs.
Dynamic growth across all business divisions
Growth in the third quarter resulted from almost all relevant business areas. The Investment and Asset Management segment reached a new record level at the end of the quarter with combined assets totalling
EUR 27.2 billion. This represents an increase of 19.8% compared to the previous year (9M 2023:
EUR 22.7 billion). The strong business performance is also based on the continued inflow of funds in the custody business via the finfire platform and in wealth management.
In asset management and wealth management, assets increased by around
EUR 700 million over the course of the year. The number of new customers, new investors and new sales partners remained at a very high level and forms the basis for future growth.
The combined assets under management of wealth management and the
Netfonds Group own fund-based asset management also reached a new all-time high of around
EUR 3.7 billion and generated record income.
The insurance division also developed positively in the third quarter and in the first nine months with growth of around 10%. By implementing additional functions in the finfire platform, the business volume will be even more dynamically scalable in future.
Scaling of the finfire platform supports positive company development
"The further development and implementation of new functions in the finfire platform continues to pay off," says
Martin Steinmeyer, CEO of
Netfonds AG. "In addition, we increased net revenue by over 20% in the past quarter as an indicator of the positive business development. In the coming quarters, our focus will not only be on further growth but also on increasing efficiency and optimising costs."
Outlook for the rest of the financial year
In light of the business performance in the first nine months of this year, the Executive Board confirms the business forecast for the full year 2024, as already published with the presentation of the half-year results.
