Net operating income rose 5% year-over-year to £186.2m, driven by strong trading and investing growth, record Australian stockbroking performance, and expanding B2B/API partnerships, including a transformational Westpac deal.
API-driven B2B partnerships fueled exponential account growth, with 70% of new accounts from markets without prior presence and a 2,400% increase in API partnership account openings year-over-year.
Strategic focus on a three-vertical model: D2C, Platform Technology as a Service, and DeFi/Web3, with a "Super App" in development to unify trading, investing, and payments.
Interim dividend increased 77% to 5.5p per share, reflecting strong financial position and confidence in future growth.
Major new partnerships, including Westpac, Currys, and a forthcoming major bank, are expanding distribution and brand reach.

Profit before tax reached £49.3m, with a margin of 26.5%; profit after tax was £35.7m; EBITDA was £57.1m.
Operating expenses rose 10% YoY to £136.5m, mainly due to a £5.2m remediation provision in Australia.

Cash and cash equivalents at £222.4m; total assets: £767.4m; own funds ratio: 221%.
Outlook and guidance
Net operating income for FY2026 expected to exceed market expectations by approximately 10%, reflecting strong H2 momentum and B2B/API growth.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
