HomeToGo expects to close transformative Interhome acquisition by 29 August at the latest, following today’s merger control approval of parallel Hotelplan transaction

Luxembourg, 26 August 2025 - HomeToGo SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: HTG), the European vacation rental group, today announced that its most significant acquisition to date is expected to close by 29 August at the latest. With the transformative acquisition of Interhome, Europe’s second-largest vacation rental management company, HomeToGo will become Europe’s leading vacation rental group. This transaction marks the completion of HomeToGo’s strategic evolution into a B2B company: HomeToGo_PRO, the group’s profitable and rapidly growing B2B segment, will emerge as HomeToGo’s largest business segment. On a pro-forma combined basis, the acquisition will add ~55% to the HomeToGo Group’s 2024 IFRS Revenues and will triple Adjusted EBITDA, leading to significant positive Free Cash Flow.

Today’s announcement follows the unconditional approval of the acquisition by the Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) of the other entities of the Hotelplan Group by the DERTOUR Group. This approval has cleared the final regulatory step that had delayed HomeToGo’s acquisition of Interhome.

The planned completion of this transaction will add Interhome to HomeToGo_PRO, the group’s B2B segment providing software and tech-enabled service solutions for the whole vacation rental market. The highly profitable Interhome business will significantly strengthen HomeToGo’s financial profile and further position HomeToGo_PRO as the leader in software and tech-enabled service solutions for vacation rentals by enhancing the depth and reach of its service offerings. In addition, Interhome’s integration into HomeToGo’s B2B segment will make HomeToGo_PRO the largest direct vacation rental supplier to third-party platforms.

As communicated on 27 May 2025, the closing of the transaction had been delayed due to the Phase II review by COMCO regarding the acquisition of the Hotelplan Group (except Interhome) by the DERTOUR Group. While neither HomeToGo nor Interhome were directly affected by this regulatory review and had already received clearance in March 2025, the joint closing structure requires simultaneous completion of both parts of the transaction.

HomeToGo reaffirms its previously issued standalone FY/25 guidance. The financial outlook remains valid for now and does not yet include any contributions from the newly consolidated Interhome business. Once the transaction has closed, HomeToGo will initiate a thorough review of Interhome’s financial data and assess the impact on its consolidated FY/25 outlook. The HomeToGo Group will issue an updated combined financial guidance for FY/25 in due course.

Dr. Patrick Andrae, Co-Founder & CEO, HomeToGo: “The planned closing of Interhome marks a transformative new chapter in our journey that will unlock new levels of growth potential and profitability. Interhome’s integration will establish HomeToGo_PRO as the leading software and tech-enabled service solutions provider for vacation rentals, and will make our B2B segment our new center of gravity. We are thrilled to welcome Interhome and its exceptional team as we continue to further build Europe’s leading vacation rental group together.”

Jörg Herrmann, Co-CEO, Interhome: “HomeToGo is renowned for its industry-leading software and technology solutions, which will now empower Interhome’s transformation into a fully tech-enabled vacation rental company. At the same time, Interhome’s contribution to HomeToGo_PRO will advance the B2B segment into a global leader - a position we are proud to help shape. With this new chapter, HomeToGo and Interhome will unite our unique strengths to elevate the experience we provide to homeowners, service providers, and guests.”

Interhome continues to act as a well-established company headquartered in Switzerland with first-class service and 60 years of experience. Interhome’s more than 700 employees are joining the HomeToGo Group, which now totals approximately 1,500 employees globally. Looking ahead, Interhome will serve as the strongest pillar of HomeToGo_PRO.
