Strategic acquisition to improve profitability; chg

Yesterday, Netfonds announced to have acquired a majority stake in "Meine
Finanzkanzlei GmbH" ("MFK") through its fully owned subsidiary NVS Netfonds
Versicherungsservice AG. In detail:

We assume that Netfonds has acquired a stake of 65-85% (eNuW) at a low to
mid, single digit EV/EBITDA multiple (eNuW). As the network of advisors
from MFK has already been cooperating with NVS for many years, we do not
expect a significant increase of gross sales. Stand alone, MFK should
generate gross sales of c. EUR 1.5-2.0m (eNuW). Due to synergy effects, we
expect a positive EBITDA effect of some EUR 0.3-0.5m (eNuW).

Importantly, MFK is actively supporting NVS in customer advice for banks
that are affiliated with NVS. These services are increasingly important for
banks, hence providing a significant growth potential for Netfonds going
forward.

Overall, we consider the acquisition as highly value accretive. While the
price should have been absolutely reasonable, MFK is seen to strengthen the
insurance division of Netfonds and contributing to its profitability.

More positive newsflow comes from IGBCE Bonusagentur, which extended its
cooperation agreement with NVS in connection with the acquisition of MFK.
With that, NVS keeps its access to more than 3m potential CareFlex
customers. As a strategic partner of IGBCE, MFK should support NVS in the
distribution of CareFlex by advising selected private and corporate
customers.

Apart from the value accretive acquisition, Netfonds proprietary, 360°
finfire platform, which enables onboarded advisors to offer a wide range of
investment, insurance, financing and banking solutions to its customers via
one holistic platform, remains the companyŽs key mid- to long-term growth
and scalability driver and should start to lift off in FY24.

That, paired with 1) Netfonds market leading position in an oligopolistic
market with high entry barriers and long-term structural growth drivers
(growing AuMŽs and number of advisors, ongoing digitization of the
financial sector, stricter regulation), 2) the likely guidance beat in FY23
and 3) the promising mid-term guidance makes the stock a clear BUY with a
new PT of EUR 71.00, based on DCF.
