Presented by Ronald Slabke, CEO

In this latest financial results presentation on seat11a, Ronald Slabke of Hypoport SE presents the company’s Q1 2026 financial results and provides an update on current developments across its digital finance and real estate platform ecosystem.

Gradual Stabilisation in the German Mortgage Market

Hypoport remains one of the key listed technology-driven infrastructure providers for the German mortgage and financial services market. Through platforms such as Europace, the company connects banks, brokers, insurers, and real estate participants within a highly scalable digital ecosystem.

Following the difficult market environment of recent years, investors are closely watching for further signs of recovery in mortgage financing volumes, transaction activity, and platform utilisation. In Q1 2026, market conditions continued to gradually stabilise in parts of the German real estate financing market.

Improving financing conditions and increasing transaction activity supported developments across the platform ecosystem, although the broader environment remained influenced by economic uncertainty, interest rate sensitivity, and cautious market sentiment.

Europace and Platform Scalability Remain Central

Against this backdrop, Hypoport continued to focus on expanding platform usage, increasing digitalisation, and strengthening its long-term market position within the German housing finance market.

A major focus remains the scalability of Hypoport’s platform model. As digital processes continue to gain relevance across mortgage finance, insurance, and real estate transactions, Hypoport aims to benefit from increasing platform penetration and network effects across its ecosystem.

For investors, Europace remains at the center of the Hypoport investment case. The platform continues to function as one of the most important digital infrastructures for German mortgage finance, connecting lenders, brokers, savings banks, cooperative banks, and financial intermediaries through integrated workflows and transaction processes.

Diversified Platform Ecosystem Across Financial Services

Long-Term Focus on Digitalisation and Market Share Gains

Even though short-term market conditions remain influenced by macroeconomic uncertainty and interest rate sensitivity, Hypoport continues to position itself around long-term structural themes including digitalisation, workflow automation, platform integration, and increasing efficiency across the housing finance ecosystem.

Management continues to view the ongoing digital transformation of Germany’s mortgage and insurance markets as a significant long-term growth opportunity for the company’s platform architecture....

Amadeus Fire AG Q1 2026: Key Takeaways

Presented by Jörg Peters, Head of Investor Relations

In this latest financial results presentation on seat11a, Jörg Peters, Head of Investor Relations of Amadeus Fire Group, presents the company’s Q1 2026 financial results and provides an update on current business trends across the Personnel Services and Training segments.

Challenging Macro Environment Continues to Impact Personnel Services

Amadeus Fire started the year in a still difficult macroeconomic environment in Germany, with weak economic growth, high unemployment, and cautious hiring activity continuing to weigh on the Personnel Services business. Companies remained reluctant to make long-term staffing decisions, recruitment cycles became longer, and candidate willingness to change jobs stayed subdued during the quarter. Against this backdrop, group revenue declined by 9.0% to €89.4 million, while operating EBITA fell to €3.0 million and the operating EBITA margin declined to 3.4%. Nevertheless, management highlighted that business performance stabilised compared with Q4 2025 and developed broadly in line with expectations.

Personnel Services Segment Remains Under Pressure

The Personnel Services segment remained under pressure, with revenue declining by 17.6% and operating gross profit falling by 18.9% year-on-year. At the same time, the cost and efficiency measures introduced in 2025 continued to show positive effects, helping to stabilise operational performance over the course of the quarter. Management emphasized that strict cost control, productivity management, and cautious internal hiring are expected to support profitability improvements as the year progresses. While the short-term environment remains challenging, the company continues to position itself for improved operating leverage once demand conditions normalise.

Training Segment Shows Greater Resilience

In contrast, the Training segment delivered a more resilient performance. Revenue increased by 3.4% to €41.8 million, supported by the first-time consolidation of acquisitions such as Masterplan and eduBITES. The B2C business developed stable to slightly positive, while the publicly funded B2G market showed improving momentum compared with the previous quarter. This underlines the increasing strategic importance of the Training segment within the broader Amadeus Fire business model.

AI-First Strategy Continues to Advance

Strategically, Amadeus Fire continued to advance its AI-first orientation, with a focus on expanding AI-related training offerings and corporate AI learning solutions to address growing demand for digital skills development. The integration of Masterplan and eduBITES supports the company’s ambition to strengthen its position in digital learning, AI-enabled education, and scalable SaaS-driven training solutions. Management continues to view these activities as important long-term growth and margin drivers.

FY 2026 Outlook Confirmed Overall, management sees Q1 2026 as the basis for a gradual return to higher profitability over the course of the year and confirmed the outlook for FY 2026. The combination of operational stabilisation, ongoing cost discipline, and improving trends in Training is expected to support a significant increase in earnings as market conditions gradually normalise.

ZEAL Network SE Q1 2026: Key Takeaways

Presented by Andrea Behrendt, CFO

In this latest financial results presentation on seat11a, Andrea Behrendt of ZEAL Network SE presents the company’s Q1 2026 financial results and provides an update on customer growth, lottery billings, games performance, and ZEAL’s strategic expansion initiatives.

Continued Growth Despite Weak Jackpot Environment

ZEAL delivered continued growth in the first quarter despite what management described as a particularly weak jackpot environment. Neither Lotto 6aus49 nor Eurojackpot reached peak jackpot levels during Q1 2026, creating difficult conditions for customer acquisition and reactivation. Nevertheless, the company managed to increase revenue, expand its customer base, and further improve its gross margin, highlighting the resilience of ZEAL’s platform and marketing execution.

Revenue Growth and Targeted Investments

Revenue increased by 6.2% to €54.3 million, supported by higher lottery billings, stronger gross margins, and growth in monthly active users. At the same time, EBITDA declined to €15.5 million, reflecting deliberate investments into marketing, personnel expansion, games, and broader diversification initiatives. Management emphasized that these higher expenses are targeted growth investments intended to strengthen ZEAL’s long-term positioning and support future scalability.

Customer Growth and Lottery Platform Expansion

Customer acquisition remained strong despite the weak jackpot backdrop. Monthly active users in the lottery business increased by 5% to nearly 1.6 million, while ZEAL added 274 thousand new registered customers during the quarter. These developments underline the continued relevance of ZEAL’s digital lottery platform and the company’s ability to attract and retain users even in less supportive external conditions.

Games Segment Continues to Scale

The company also continued to expand its Games segment, where revenue grew by 14% and the games portfolio increased to more than 740 games. This reflects ZEAL’s broader strategy of diversifying beyond its traditional lottery business and building a broader digital entertainment ecosystem with stronger recurring customer engagement and monetisation opportunities.

Strategic Expansion Through Social Lottery Products

A strategic highlight of the quarter was the launch of the new charity lottery “Traumautoverlosung,” which expands ZEAL’s social lottery offering beyond “Traumhausverlosung.” Management sees this as another important step in broadening the company’s product portfolio and strengthening the foundations for long-term growth.

FY 2026 Outlook Confirmed

Looking ahead, ZEAL confirmed its FY 2026 guidance, expecting revenue of €250–260 million and EBITDA of €70–75 million, while continuing to target double-digit annual revenue growth and EBITDA margins above 30% over the medium term.

Conclusion

Overall, ZEAL Network SE’s Q1 2026 financial results highlight a business that continues to execute well despite an unusually weak jackpot environment. The combination of customer growth, improving monetisation, expanding games activities, and ongoing diversification initiatives reinforces ZEAL’s positioning as one of Germany’s leading digital lottery and online gaming platforms with a scalable and increasingly diversified business model.

Presented by Joerg Hoffmann, Head of Investor Relations

In this latest financial results presentation on seat11a, Joerg Hoffmann of Wacker Chemie AG provides an update on the company’s Q1 financial performance, recent business developments, and the current trading environment across its key segments.

Q1 Performance in a Mixed Market Environment

WACKER Chemie started the year in a still mixed market environment, with demand trends varying across regions and end markets. The first quarter reflects continued normalization in some areas, while other segments remain impacted by cautious customer behavior, lower order visibility, and ongoing pricing pressure. As a result, performance in Q1 is shaped by a combination of volume developments, pricing dynamics, and cost factors across the portfolio.

Segment Developments: Differentiated Trends Across the Portfolio

Across the business divisions, developments remain differentiated. The chemical segments, including silicones and polymers, continue to reflect broader industrial demand trends, with volumes stabilizing in parts but still influenced by weaker activity in construction and other cyclical end markets. Pricing remains an important factor, as competitive dynamics and market conditions continue to impact margins.

Chemical Segments: Silicones and Polymers Under Cyclical Pressure

The polysilicon segment remains a key contributor to overall performance, with developments closely linked to the global solar market. In Q1, pricing trends, customer demand, and supply dynamics in the photovoltaic value chain continue to influence the segment’s performance. At the same time, WACKER’s diversified business model provides exposure to a wide range of industrial and technology-driven applications.

Polysilicon: Exposure to Solar Market Dynamics

Overall, the first quarter illustrates a market environment that remains in transition, with early signs of stabilization in some areas, while other parts of the portfolio continue to operate below previous levels. The presentation provides a detailed view on how WACKER is performing at the start of the year and how current market conditions are reflected in its Q1 results.

Conclusion: Early Signs of Stabilization in a Transitional Market
