Admirals Group AS 2025 Unaudited 6 Months Financial Results
In a period marked by lower client trading activity in the Group's core European markets, Admirals Group demonstrated its commitment to operational discipline and strategic realignment:
- Net trading income was EUR 13.3 million (6M 2024: EUR 22.0 million).
- Operating expenses decreased by 20% in the first half of 2025 to EUR 18.3 million (6M 2024: EUR 22.9 million).
- Net loss was EUR -5.9 million (6M 2024: EUR -1.2 million).
- The number of active clients stood at 23,190. The Group is now focused on rebuilding and expanding its client base following a temporary strategic pause.
In 2024, Admirals voluntarily suspended the onboarding of new European clients for Admirals Europe Ltd. in alignment with recommendations from the CySEC regulator. This temporary measure reflected our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of regulatory compliance and client trust.
After successfully implementing all required measures, Admirals resumed client onboarding in the EU in March 2025, re-engaging with a key market. User acquisition efforts intensified in the second quarter of 2025, reinforcing our position as a trusted multi-asset investment brokerage and responsible partner.
The Group remains confident in its future and diversified strategy, underpinned by market-leading trading technology, a robust financial position, and operational progress achieved in recent years. Admirals is well-positioned for sustainable growth, with a clear focus on aligning with client objectives and creating long-term value for stakeholders.
