About Scout24 SE

Scout24 SE is a German digital-platform group listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX), with a clear focus on real estate and the digitization of property transactions in Germany. Its core asset is ImmoScout24, the leading online platform for residential and commercial real estate search, listings, and marketing in the German market. The business model is built around an integrated ecosystem that connects private users, agents, developers, appraisers, and other property-market professionals through listings, software tools, lead generation, valuation services, and premium consumer products. Scout24’s roots go back to 1998, when ImmoScout24 was founded under the name EIB (Elektronische Immobilienbörse) to help organize a highly fragmented property market. Over time, the group expanded into adjacent verticals, then progressively sharpened its strategy around real estate. A key strategic milestone came in 2019, when Scout24 sold AutoScout24, FinanceScout24, and Finanzcheck, strengthening its profile as a pure-play digital real estate company. The company is headquartered in Berlin, and its governance, reporting, and investor communications are set within the German corporate framework. From a competitive standpoint, Scout24 benefits from a powerful brand, strong traffic, and meaningful network effects across agents, sellers, landlords, and buyers. ImmoScout24 reports around 19 million users per month across its website and app, which underscores its leading position in Germany’s digital real estate search market. The platform has also operated in Austria since 2012. In 2025, Scout24 announced the acquisition of the Spanish real-estate portals Fotocasa and Habitaclia, a strategically important move that broadens the group’s European footprint and creates exposure to another large online property market. The company’s main business lines include property listings, professional marketing subscriptions, CRM solutions, valuation tools, and consumer-facing premium services. In March 2025, Scout24 published its 2024 annual report and reiterated its growth trajectory while proposing a 10% dividend increase. More recently, 2025 releases highlighted continued commercial momentum, investment in technology, AI and product innovation, and the integration of acquisitions. For investors, Scout24 stands out as a high-quality digital platform business with structural growth characteristics, anchored in the German property market and listed on the German exchange market Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX).
