DF Deutsche Forfait AG / DE000A2AA204

Cologne, 26 September 2025 - DF Deutsche Forfait AG (ISIN: DE000A2AA204) (DF AG) announces preliminary figures for the first half of 2025. Revenues rose in the reporting period, mainly due to an increase in the trade finance segment from EUR 5.0 million to EUR 6.4 million. At EUR 5.8 million, gross profit was up around 23% on the previous year's figure of EUR 4.7 million. Revenue from the trade finance segment resulted from a 12.4% increase in business volume to a total of EUR 118.1 million (previous year: EUR 105.1 million). Consolidated earnings before taxes amounted to EUR 1.1 million in the first half of 2025, significantly below the previous year's figure of EUR 2.0 million. The decline is mainly attributable to increased personnel expenses and higher other operating expenses in connection with the new subsidiaries. Due to current developments, the Management Board is now adjusting its forecast for the financial performance indicators as follows: Business volume is now expected to rise slightly (previously stagnating). Gross profit is still expected to be within the forecast range of plus 15% to 25%. At the same time, due to start-up and investment costs in the new segments for DF Vagabund and DF Blutplasma, the company now expects a significant decline in earnings before taxes (EBT) of around 50% compared to the previous year (previously plus 10% to 20%). The full half-year report will be published on 30 September 2025. The Executive Board DF Deutsche Forfait AG
