CMC Markets presents preliminary results for H1 2025
CMC Markets has shared preliminary insights into its performance for the first half of the 2025 fiscal year, reporting significant achievements. The company expects net operating income for H1 2025 to reach approximately £180 million, representing a 45% increase compared to the same period last year (H1 2024: £123 million). This growth is attributed to the company's ongoing diversification strategy and steady expansion in its B2B segment, which has helped increase client engagement and activity across all platforms.
In terms of expenses, CMC Markets projects operating costs for H1 2025, excluding variable remuneration and one-off charges, to be around £113 million, a 7% decrease from H1 2024’s £122 million. This reduction reflects a targeted approach to cost management aimed at boosting profitability without hindering growth. The company estimates a pre-tax profit of £51 million for H1 2025, a substantial improvement over the previous year’s H1 figure of £2 million.
CMC Markets' management attributes this strong performance to a balanced strategy that combines cost efficiency with strategic investments, enabling the company to maintain and grow profit margins while expanding its market presence. The company has broadened its service offerings to include cash equities and options products. The anticipated launch of cash ISAs in the UK further demonstrates CMC’s commitment to expanding product availability, supported by its treasury management and proprietary technology.
A key operational milestone has been the onboarding of Revolut clients following a successful soft launch. The number of Revolut clients actively trading on CMC’s platform continues to grow, and the Group plans to provide regular updates on this partnership’s progress, which could play a significant role in expanding its client base.
This update reflects the effectiveness of CMC’s multi-dimensional growth strategy as the company continues diversifying revenue streams and growing its B2B segment. The management remains committed to prudent investment to further develop CMC’s product offerings, positioning the Group for sustainable growth in a competitive market.
CMC Markets’ full interim results for H1 2025 are anticipated on 21 November 2024, with further insights expected on the company’s operational and financial performance. These results are likely to provide a clearer outlook on the company’s profitability prospects for the current fiscal year.
