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.
