Migration well progressed // New arrangement with DAB

Smartbroker announced to have made significant progress regarding the

migration of customers, transactions and AuCŽs from SB1 (old Smartbroker)

to Smartbroker+:

65% of active SB1 customers successfully migrated. This translates into 90k

of the former 228k customers (excl. 44k FondDiscount customers that were

not part of the migration), while 79k inactive customers (c. 1/3 = industry

average) were deleted and 44k were not yet migrated. Importantly, the

migrated customers executed 2.4m of the 3.6m annual transactions (66%; not

including 0.6m from FD).

76% of AuCŽs already transferred. EUR 5.4bn of the EUR 7.1bn AuCŽs are now at

accounts of the new partner Baader Bank, while the remaining EUR 1.7bn are

custodied by DAB. The additional EUR 2.3bn from FondDiscount are not

considered in these figures.

With that, the migration targets are largely met. Importantly, Smartbroker

announced to have renewed the agreement with DAB. Hence, active customers

that have not yet migrated can stay with DAB (serviced by Smartbroker) as

long as they wish to. Consequently, Smartbroker should not loose any

active customer because of the migration. This is good news as it was

unclear what happened with

these customers and the market partially expected the loss of these

customers.

Given the current market situation, paired with additional development

costs for Smartbroker+, we consider 2023 as transition year, expecting EUR

50.4m in sales and EUR 0.3m in EBITDA, in line with management's guidance.

Looking into 2024, Smartbroker is seen to be the growth driver of the

Group, as Smartbroker+ is offering a unique combination of the service

range of an established full-service

broker at a neobroker pricing that should drive customer inflows and

transactions.

Once marketing spending kicks in (eNuW: EUR 11.1m in 2024) the synergy

effects between the Media segment and the Smartbroker should fuel both

segments: While CAC of Smartbroker should decline, thanks to the reach of

the media portals, new customer of Smartbroker are expected to mainly use

the embedded media portals within the app, increasing page views and

interactions and making the portals

more attractive for advertisers.

The investment case remains fully intact. BUY with unchanged PT of EUR 15,

based on DCF.
