The complete financials for the year 2024 and detailed explanations are available at  as well as in our publications section at .

Dividend proposal of EUR 1.32 per share leads to increase of 10% compared to previous year

Based on the successful financial year 2024 and the expectation of continued profitable growth, the Management Board and Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of EUR 1.32 per share entitled to dividend, translating to 10% growth compared to last dividend paid. This corresponds to approximately 45% of adjusted net income and remains at the upper end of Scout24’s defined dividend policy. In total, the distribution amount will thus increase to 95.6 million EUR. The dividend will be paid out after this year’s Annual General Meeting. If the number of dividend-entitled shares for the past financial year 2024 changes as a result of the ongoing share buy-back programme until the Annual General Meeting 2025, a correspondingly adjusted resolution proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting. This will provide for an unchanged dividend of EUR 1.32 per dividend-entitled share.

Scout24 continues to successfully execute its ambitious ESG strategy

Scout24 is committed to understanding and responsibly managing its environmental and societal impact. The latest sustainability statement is written in accordance with the requirements from the EU CSRD and showcases further progress in implementing Scout24’s ESG strategy. With a relatively low carbon footprint, Scout24’s digital business model aligns with its strategic goals. Based on a recalculation (including the subsidiary Sprengnetter), Scout24 has already reduced its CO2e emissions by 56% compared to the 2018 baseline. Progress in 2024 came through fleet electrification and heating efficiency measures. Future focus will be on further fleet emission reductions and transitioning all offices to renewable electricity. Another milestone in 2024 was the increase of the hiring rate of women to almost 60%. This also contributes to the goal of gender parity. At the end of 2024, 46% of Scout24 employees were female and around 41% of leadership positions were held by women – representing figures well above national and international averages.

In addition to the integrated report, which consists of the annual report and the sustainability statement 2024, Scout24 SE also published its compensation report for the financial year 2024 at .

Management reiterates financial guidance of accelerating revenue growth with continued margin expansion for the 2025 financial year

With its marketplace ImmoScout24, Scout24 Group is strongly positioned in the German market to further strengthen its offering. Although the markets remain challenging, Scout24 Group is convinced that it can offer its customers strong added value in various market situations with its diversified product portfolio. The Management Board is therefore confident that revenue and profitability can also be increased in 2025 based on the further implementation of the strategy with a focus on interconnectivity. Specifically, the Management Board expects revenue growth of 12-14% including ca. 2 percentage points inorganic contribution. Furthermore, the Management Board expects an ordinary operating EBITDA margin expansion of up to 50 basis points in the 2025 financial year. Overall, the main focus will be on increasing the Group’s ordinary operating EBITDA and the associated margin.
