Munich / Berlin, June 30th, 2022

Today's Annual General Meeting of Scout24 SE approved all resolutions proposed by the Management Board with large majorities. The voting focused, among other things, on the dividend in the volume of 66.4 million euros or 0.85 euros per share and the renewal of the authorization for further share buybacks. For the third time, the digital company hosted its Annual General Meeting as a virtual event without the physical presence of shareholders or their proxies. In total, 69.02 % of the voting share capital of Scout24 SE joined digitally.

In his speech, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO Tobias Hartmann emphasized that Scout24 sees itself as the leading digital real estate company in Germany - and that the Group is also aware of its social responsibility. Especially since the German real estate market is facing major challenges: "The topic of housing concerns all of us. And alongside the terrible events in Ukraine, it dominates the daily headlines in the German media. Unfortunately, Scout24 can't build the new homes we need, but we can help getting them to seekers in a more convenient and easier way. And we can create more transparency and improve orientation in such a tense real estate market."

Subsequently, Dr. Dirk Schmelzer, CFO of Scout24 SE, presented the very successful financial and economic development of the Group. The strategy of further diversifying the revenue structure of the Scout24 Group had made the business model more resilient and sustainable. "Key sustainability aspects are anchored in our capital market communication, our new financing and in the remuneration of the Management Board. We are thus achieving an even greater integration of ESG into our operational business development. Revenue and earnings are also growing on the back of our sustainability focus."

The record growth of 10.0 percent in 2021 to EUR 389.0 million in consolidated revenues and the quarterly growth of 15.1 percent in the first quarter of 2022 confirm the digital company's growth strategy. For the current year, the company still expects further growth of up to 12 percent.

Dr. Hans-Holger Albrecht, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, confirms the success of the strategy decisions: "The clear focus on the real estate business and the strategic measures of the past years have put us in an excellent starting position. We have expanded our portfolio with additional products, services and targeted acquisitions, which provides a good basis for strong growth in the coming years."

The reports and presentations of the Supervisory Board and Management Board were broadcast live via the Scout24 SE website. Registered shareholders were able to follow the entire Annual General Meeting via a protected Internet service.
