Frank­furt am Main, July 12, 2024 – NEON EQUI­TY AG (NEON EQUI­TY, ISIN: DE000A3DW408), an impact inves­tor and growth enabler, signi­fi­cant­ly increased its pro­fit in the first half of 2024. EBIT increased by around 112% from EUR 1.7 mil­li­on to EUR 3.6 mil­li­on com­pared to the first half of 2023 accor­ding to HGB accoun­ting. Net pro­fit increased by 10% from 5.0 mil­li­on euros to 5.5 mil­li­on euros.

As part of its growth stra­tegy, NEON EQUI­TY rea­ched important mile­sto­nes in the report­ing peri­od. NEON EQUI­TY has expan­ded its port­fo­lio in line with its stra­tegy by inves­t­ing in the token pro­vi­der More Impact AG. NEON EQUI­TY has also crea­ted an Impact Advi­so­ry Board. It includes top-class ESG experts such as Prof. Dr. Ana­bel Ternès, Vol­ker Weber, Dr. Andre­as Rickert and Peter Liu. With this com­mit­tee, NEON EQUI­TY is expan­ding its net­work in impact inves­t­ing and crea­ting addi­tio­nal invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties. The part­ner­ship with Green Encoded, which was signed in June in the pre­sence of the First Vice-Pre­si­dent of the EU Par­lia­ment, Dr. Oth­mar Karas, also streng­thens NEON EQUI­TY­’s focus on future topics in the Impact area. The aim of the part­ner­ship with Green Encoded is the joint deve­lo­p­ment of Green Deal-com­pli­ant finan­cial pro­ducts on a token basis. In spring 2024, NEON EQUI­TY also advi­sed its e-mobi­li­ty invest­ment ELARIS AG on its suc­cessful IPO in the m:access seg­ment of the Munich Stock Exch­an­ge.

NEON EQUI­TY plans to focus its invest­ment port­fo­lio even more stron­gly on are­as such as rene­wa­ble ener­gies, sus­tainable mobi­li­ty, infra­struc­tu­re and health­ca­re in the cur­rent finan­cial year. In this con­text, NEON EQUI­TY has also sold its 33% sta­ke in OA22 GmbH. The acqui­si­ti­on of fur­ther invest­ments in the­se core sec­tors is curr­ent­ly in pre­pa­ra­ti­on.

Ole Nix­dorff, CEO of NEON EQUI­TY AG: ​“The posi­ti­ve key finan­cial figu­res in the first half of the year under­pin the suc­cess of our growth stra­tegy. In par­ti­cu­lar, our strong focus on impact invest­ments paid off in the first half of the year. We were also able to signi­fi­cant­ly expand our net­work through the new­ly estab­lished Impact Advi­so­ry Board and have fur­ther streng­the­ned our mar­ket posi­ti­on as an IPO advi­sor. We intend to con­ti­nue our suc­cessful growth tra­jec­to­ry in the cur­rent year.
