Ingo Middelmenne has extensive experience in the areas of Investment Banking and Investor Relations. With his interim management consultancy firm Middelmenne & Cie. he accompanied capital market transactions with a volume of several billion Euros for numerous companies. 'Since the successful repositioning, our company is well back on the growth track. The recently completed acquisition of the online platform Geld.de will further strengthen our position as the leading advisortech company in Europe', Dr. Sebastian Grabmaier, CEO of JDC Group, explains. 'This transaction will already positively affect our earnings in 2016, but in particular in 2017. A high level of transparency and sustainability in the communication with our investors therefore is especially important to us.' Due to the acquisition of Geld.de and the related transfer of up to 200,000 existing clients, the management expects a multiplication of the EBITDA in the current year. After 1.3 million Euros in the past year, EBITDA is expected to increase to 3.5 to 5.0 million Euro and at least further 3 million Euro in 2017. Further growth opportunities arise from cross selling potentials and the smartphone-app 'allesmeins', a digital insurance folder, with which JDC offers an intuitive, state-of-the-art contract management tool to its 16,000 brokers and approximately 1,000,000 clients. 'More than 50 percent of JDC's revenues are recurring, from which the company can finance the further development of the app 'allesmeins' to become the leading Digital Wallet App as well as other advisortech innovations from its own resources.', Ingo Middelmenne is sure. 'Different from other insurtech start-ups, investing millions into customer acquisition, technology at JDC builds up on a customer base of 1,000,000 clients and approximately 16.000 financial advisors. A huge competitive advantage. To present the equity story to existing and interested institutional investors, management will be on roadshow in Germany, Zurich, Paris, Antwerp and London already in the upcoming two weeks.' I am looking forward to accompanying the further development of JDC Group as Head of Investor Relations."
