Palfinger AG Deep Dive: Key TakeawaysIn this session, PALFINGER CEO and CFO leadership unveil the company’s bold next chapter — “Reach Higher – Strategy 2030+.”CFO Felix Strohbichler leads the discussion, explaining how PALFINGER is adapting to global change and positioning itself for long-term, sustainable growth.Why a New Strategy Now?Strohbichler makes clear that the world has changed significantly in recent years — from geopolitical instability to accelerating digitalisation, climate change, and supply chain disruptions. With these shifts in mind, PALFINGER’s new Strategy 2030+ is designed to reinforce its technology leadership, boost resilience, and drive profitable growth in an evolving environment.Financial Ambition & TargetsUnder Strategy 2030+, key financial targets have been raised for 2030:Revenue: Over €3 billionEBIT Margin: 12%ROCE (Return on Capital Employed): 15%These targets reflect PALFINGER’s confidence that its refined business model — combining hardware, software, services and global reach — will deliver a step-change in performance.Three Strategic DirectionsStrohbichler emphasises three core pillars guiding execution, each with a clear rationale:Lifting Customer ValuePALFINGER’s relentless focus on delivering integrated solutions, innovation, and productivity gains for customers is a testament to the company’s commitment to their success. This approach not only enhances customer satisfaction but also deepens relationships and recurring revenue streams, making stakeholders feel valued and integral to the company’s success.Balanced Profitable GrowthLeveraging PALFINGER’s broad product range and global service footprint to grow measurably and profitably.Execution ExcellenceThis pillar focuses on driving cultural, process, and digital transformation. PALFINGER is focusing on leaner global supply chains, end-to-end planning, and adoption of AI & data analytics to ensure it remains at the forefront of innovation and efficiency.These strategic directions are underpinned by five must-win action fields and 13 strategic programs, each designed to ensure systematic execution and measurable progress. Let’s delve into these in more detail.Key Themes & Market ImplicationsCustomer ClosenessPALFINGER is emphasising service networks, spare parts and high-end lifting solutions (e.g., aerial work platforms) to deepen customer relationships and recurring revenue streams.Digitalisation & SolutionsTransitioning from a hardware-only mindset to offering smart, connected lifting solutions, combining sensors, IoT, autonomous operation and data services.Global Supply Chain & EfficiencyWith end-to-end logistics optimisation, inventory control, and a global manufacturing footprint, PALFINGER aims to boost resilience and delivery reliability in volatile markets.What This Means for InvestorsPALFINGER has set clear, ambitious, measurable targets that go well beyond incremental improvement — signalling a strong commitment to uplift performance.The strategy shifts the company into higher-value realms — service, digital platforms, customer experience, and integrated solutions — rather than pure machine manufacturing.▶️ Other videos: Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/ Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/ Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/ Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/ T&C This publication is intended solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.

BRAIN Biotech AG Deep Dive: Key TakeawaysIn this exclusive deep dive, Michael Schneiders, CFO of Brain Biotech AG, takes on the seven most frequently asked questions from institutional investors — offering clarity, conviction, and a forward-looking view on everything from AI-driven enzyme discovery to U.S. expansion, M&A, and the commercial pipeline within the BioIncubator portfolio.Let’s unpack the key investor topics that matter most to understanding Brain Biotech’s current strategy and its long-term value-creation potential.1. What are Enzymes, and Why Are They So Attractive?Enzymes are natural proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions, and Brain Biotech focuses on microbial enzymes with industrial and human applications. Why does this matter to investors? Because enzymes offer low-energy, biodegradable, and sustainable alternatives to chemical synthesis — making them key tools in the green industrial transformation.The global enzyme market stands at €6 billion, growing at mid-single-digit rates with strong margins. Consumers prefer natural enzyme-based solutions, especially in food, nutrition, and life sciences. Brain, with its unique position and strategic focus, is well-positioned to lead this trend.2. What Sets Brain Biotech Apart from Other Industrial Biotech Firms?Michael Schneiders emphasizes Brain’s end-to-end platform—from discovery and AI-assisted enzyme design, to development, fermentation, and production. Few players can offer the full value chain. This integrated model serves three verticals:ProductsProprietary enzymes for food & life science.CDMOContract manufacturing for biopharma clients.CROCustom research in enzyme innovation.This makes Brain not just a supplier, but a strategic co-developer with its clients — increasing stickiness, value creation, and margin expansion.3. How Is AI Revolutionizing Enzyme Discovery at Brain?Brain’s AI and machine learning platforms are now central to its enzyme innovation engine. Their proprietary platform, “MetXtra,” enables the discovery and synthetic design of novel enzymes, with 99% of the sequences unique to public databases.With bioinformatics, machine learning, and CRISPR gene editing, Brain is accelerating timelines from idea to prototype, cutting costs, and driving customer success. Their goal: design enzymes that don’t yet exist in nature—customized for client needs.This digital-first approach is transforming Brain into a tech-enabled biotech innovator—and investors are taking notice.4. What Are Brain’s Medium-Term Growth Targets, and What Role Does M&A Play?Brain’s mid-term goal is to double enzyme segment sales through high-single-digit to low-double-digit organic growth. The addressable market for their core activities is approximately €2 billion — and with only €50 million in sales today, there’s massive upside.Brain also aims to lift its adjusted EBITDA margin from 10% to 15%, unlocking operational leverage as scale increases.While organic growth is the priority, Brain remains opportunistic on M&A—with a successful track record including Biocatalysts, RareTech, and AnalytiCon Discovery. One more medium-sized acquisition (à la Biocatalysts) is planned within the next 5 years. ..▶️ Other videos: Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/ Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/nvestor-relations-financial-results/ ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/ T&C This publication is intended solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.

🎙️ Amadeus Fire AG – Elevator Pitch by CEO Robert von Wuelfing In this special elevator pitch, Robert von Wuelfing, CEO of Amadeus Fire AG, offers a dynamic, high-level walkthrough of one of Germany’s most respected players in white-collar staffing and vocational education.Based in Frankfurt and operating nationwide, Amadeus Fire stands out in the German HR market with its distinctive blend of personnel services and advanced professional training. This unique approach is perfectly aligned with the long-term labour market trends, making us a force to be reckoned with.A Company That Connects People and SkillsAt its core, Amadeus Fire is a platform for qualifications. The group not only matches highly qualified candidates with companies across Germany but also offers training and upskilling services under leading educational brands. This dual structure is our competitive edge, as it addresses both the supply and demand sides of skills.As Robert explains, “We are a career-long partner—for professionals and companies alike.” Whether a CFO needs a top finance interim, a job seeker requires retraining, or an IT team requires niche support, Amadeus Fire delivers.Business Structure: Dual Engines Driving Sustainable Growth1. Staffing (ca. 60% of revenue)Focus: White-collar roles in finance, accounting, HR, IT, and procurementServices:Permanent Placement – now the largest profit contributorInterim Management – freelance specialists on demandTemporary Staffing – employees on Amadeus payroll deployed to client projectsNetwork: 22 offices across Germany2. Training (ca. 40% of revenue)Brands: Comcave, GFN, Steuer-Fachschule Dr Endriss, and othersMarkets Served:Publicly funded (B2G): Retraining and reskilling unemployed workersCorporate (B2B): Customised upskilling programs for enterprisesPrivate (B2C): Individual learners looking to upskill or switch careersThe complementary nature of both segments creates a robust, counter-cyclical business model. This design ensures that Amadeus Fire is highly resilient to economic swings, providing our clients and partners with a sense of stability and confidence in our services.Market Drivers: Scarcity, Skills, and DemographicsRobert von Wuelfing lays out a compelling case: Germany is facing a long-term talent shortage. The baby boomer generation is retiring—reducing the workforce by 1% per year over the next decade—and there aren’t enough skilled replacements.Amadeus Fire is positioned perfectly to help solve this challenge.Whether it’s a corporation seeking urgently needed IT professionals or a displaced worker requiring retraining, Amadeus Fire offers scalable, targeted solutions through its talent ecosystem.Growth and Strategy HighlightsOrganic growth in both staffing and trainingInorganic expansion via acquisitions (e.g., Masterplan.com in 2025)Digital transformation, especially in AI-first training environmentsEcosystem building that integrates staffing + training + digital platformsIn the finance and accounting segment, where Amadeus Fire is a market leader, the company continues to win market share through speed, quality, and deep customer relationships.▶️ Other Videos:Elevator Pitch: seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitchCompany Presentation: seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentationDeep Dive Presentation: seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-diveFinancial Results Presentation: seat11a.com/nvestor-relations-financial-resultsESG Presentation: seat11a.com/investor-relations-esgT&CThis publication is intended solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.By using this website, you agree to our terms and conditions as outlined on:👉 www.seat11a.com/legal👉 www.seat11a.com/imprint
BRAIN Biotech AG Q1 2024/25: Key TakeawaysBRAIN Biotech 9M 2024/25 Financial Results Deep DivePresented by Michael Schneiders, CFO | seat11a.comBRAIN Biotech Accelerates Growth in Core Business While Strengthening BioIncubator PipelineIn the first nine months of fiscal year 2024/25, BRAIN Biotech AG delivered a robust operational performance marked by steady revenue growth in its core segment and significant progress in its innovation pipeline. CFO Michael Schneiders outlined the company’s dual focus: scaling its BRAIN Biocatalysts division and commercialising projects within the BRAIN BioIncubator—its innovation engine for biotech breakthroughs.Solid Revenue Growth in Core Segment: BRAIN BiocatalystsBRAIN Biocatalysts—the heart of BRAIN Biotech’s operations—continues to perform like a “Swiss army knife” of industrial biotech, demonstrating its versatility and adaptability. Revenue in this segment increased by 8.1% year-over-year in Q3, driven by strong product sales and increased utilization of large-scale fermenters, particularly at the Cardiff and US operations. While the baking ingredients sector faced some softness, other verticals remained resilient. The adjusted EBITDA margin continued to improve due to scale effects, a more favourable product mix, and disciplined cost management.The division also stands out for its fully integrated biotech platform: from discovery and strain development to industrial-scale production and sales. BRAIN serves the full enzyme value chain, offering tailor-made solutions as a Contract Research Organisation (CRO) and Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO/CDMO).Innovation Engine: BRAIN BioIncubatorThe BioIncubator division, which focuses on strategic participations and breakthrough biotech innovation, saw mixed performance in 9M 2024/25. While sales were softer due to the absence of milestone revenues from previous years and subdued order intake at AnalytiCon Discovery, significant strategic wins boosted the segment’s outlook. These wins include a strategic partnership with Corbion (Amsterdam-based sustainable ingredient leader) to commercialize “Perillic Active,” a natural antimicrobial for food preservation, and the successful consolidation of Breatec minorities, realizing a book gain of € 1.4 million.One of the key factors contributing to our positive outlook is our strategic partnership with Corbion, a leading sustainable ingredient company based in Amsterdam. This partnership aims to commercialize “Perillic Active,” a natural antimicrobial for food preservation, which we believe will significantly enhance our product portfolio and market reach.Successful consolidation of Breatec minorities, realizing a book gain of €1.4 million.Strong cost control despite ongoing R&D investments and two months of Akribion Genomics integration.The company has €10.5 million in cash available, providing solid liquidity to drive further innovation.Mid-Term Targets: Scaling with PrecisionReaffirming its long-term strategy, BRAIN Biotech aims to double revenues in BRAIN Biocatalysts to €100 million over the next five years, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15% and R&D investments of 4–6% of group sales. This growth will be driven by a combination of factors, including the commercialisation of milestones achieved by Pharvaris and genome-editing technologies (e.g., Akribion Therapeutics), which are expected to generate upside potential through milestone payments and royalty income. In the BioIncubator, the company’s focus will be on achieving commercialisation milestones and leveraging its strategic partnerships to fuel commercial upside.T&C This publication is intended solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.

Hypoport SE Deep Dive: Key Takeaways📊 Hypoport Deep Dive Q&A with CEO Ronald SlabkeAnswering the Three Most Pressing Institutional Investor QuestionsPresented on seat11a.com🎯 Focused Q&A Format for Institutional InvestorsIn an exclusive and uniquely focused session, Ronald Slabke, CEO of Hypoport SE, engages in a transparent and deeply analytical conversation centred on the three most pressing questions raised by institutional investors. Instead of providing broad operational updates, Slabke concentrates on long-term strategy, structural market trends, and Hypoport’s positioning in Germany’s financial services landscape.🏡 1. Why Will the German Mortgage Market Outperform Inflation Over the Long Term?Slabke outlines how Germany’s housing demand has evolved since the European free labour movement began in 2011. Net migration from Southern and Eastern Europe has created long-term demand in urban centres, outpacing supply. The rental market is constrained by regulation, pushing more households toward homeownership.Key structural drivers:Low homeownership rate (42%) is rising due to changing demographics and investor exit trendsExpected recovery in new construction as pricing stabilizesUpcoming refinancing wave from expiring fixed-rate loansMassive potential for green home investments tied to Germany’s 2050 decarbonization targetsDespite interest rate-driven slowdowns in 2022, prices have rebounded—especially in metro areas like Berlin. Slabke sees a path toward €100 billion in quarterly mortgage volumes and home prices continuing to rise above inflation.💻 2. What Makes the Europace B2B Mortgage Platform So Critical?Europace has evolved from a product marketplace into a comprehensive SaaS-powered infrastructure, integrating over 1,000 banks and thousands of advisors. It’s a Salesforce-meets-eBay style digital ecosystem tailored for mortgages.Key platform enhancements:Agent and real estate integration to support mortgage closingsConsumer apps for document uploads, price discovery, and 1-click approvalsAI-driven fraud detection, underwriting, and instant credit decisioningWith Europace dominating regional banks and broker networks, and no credible competitor in sight, it is the undisputed backbone of Germany’s mortgage industry—central to Hypoport’s long-term value.🔄 3. Why Did Hypoport Diversify Beyond Mortgages—and Was It the Right Move?Hypoport expanded into insurance and other B2B finance sectors to replicate Europace’s success. While these sectors offer long-term promise, results have varied due to differing market readiness and regulation.Key takeaways from Slabke’s assessment:Diversification adds resilience and optionalityNot all verticals are equally scalable or receptive to platformsHypoport is now focusing on B2B markets where category leadership is achievableThis marks a shift back to core strengths, ensuring that Hypoport doubles down where its platform model can dominate, rather than spreading resources across less strategic segments.🧠 Conclusion: A Clearer, Stronger Hypoport for the FutureSlabke’s answers deliver a compelling message to long-term investors: Hypoport is structurally aligned with Germany’s most resilient market—housing—and owns the infrastructure to lead it.With renewed focus on automation, consumer-centric workflows, and platform dominance, Hypoport is positioned to scale even in a high-rate environment. Its strategic clarity and executional discipline support sustainable long-term growth.seat11a.com continues to be the destination for investor-centric insights, and this session underscores Hypoport’s role as one of Germany’s most innovative, infrastructure-critical fintech firms.T&C This publication is intended solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.

eDreams ODIGEO's Q1 2025 Key TakeawayseDreams ODIGEO Q1 FY 2026 – Executive SummaryPresented by CFO David Elizaga on seat11a.comStrong Start to FY 2026 with Subscription Model at CoreeDreams ODIGEO kicked off its financial year 2026 with a powerful performance that once again reinforces the strength of its subscription-based travel model. CFO David Elizaga presented a highly confident outlook, supported by solid subscriber growth, improved profitability, and continued strategic execution.Prime: The Growth EngineAt the heart of this success is Prime, eDreams’ unique travel subscription service. With 7.5 million subscribers now onboard, Prime has become the company’s core growth engine. In the first quarter alone, the firm added over 200,000 new subscribers, reaching the upper end of their guidance.This strong growth is not just about volume—it’s also about quality: renewals continue to increase as the member base matures, making the overall model more cost-efficient and highly profitable over time.Financial MomentumThis growth in Prime has translated directly into substantial earnings momentum. The company delivered strong increases in both adjusted net income and EBITDA, building on the gains seen in the previous year. As Prime now accounts for around three-quarters of total revenue, eDreams is less exposed to volatile travel pricing and more focused on predictable, high-margin recurring income.Operational Leverage and Strategic TransformationElizaga emphasized that the transformation of eDreams ODIGEO from a transactional to a subscription-based travel business is well ahead of schedule. Operating leverage is improving as acquisition costs drop per subscriber, and profitability continues to scale in line with revenue growth. This demonstrates the power of Prime to reshape not only the company’s income structure but the entire economics of travel booking in Europe and beyond.Capital Markets UpdateFrom a capital markets perspective, the company also launched a new €20 million share buyback programme, underlining its commitment to shareholders. This follows the near completion of the previous buyback effort, and it comes at a time when liquidity in the stock has markedly improved.FY 2026 OutlookLooking forward, the full-year EBITDA guidance of €215 to €220 million has been reaffirmed, representing a near doubling compared to the previous year. Management also remains confident in hitting its Prime subscriber target of 8.25 million by the end of FY 2026, with the long-term ambition to grow the subscriber base by approximately 10% annually.Conclusion by CFO David ElizagaElizaga concluded his presentation by highlighting the company’s position as a pioneer in the travel tech space. The model is not only working—it is accelerating. With Prime’s scale, efficiency, and customer loyalty on the rise, eDreams ODIGEO is entering a new phase of growth, profitability, and shareholder value creation.▶️ Other videos: Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/ Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/ Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/ Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/ T&C This publication is intended solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.
