Revenue and profit reached record levels for the quarter, driven by strong growth in the core fund brokerage business, with customer growth up 14% year-on-year and net savings at their highest in four years.
Market volatility led to a 32% increase in trades year-on-year and a rotation from US to European assets, but also caused a slowdown in net buying and a reduction in savings capital due to a stronger SEK and negative market performance.
Operating expenses rose 15% year-on-year (13% excluding Germany), mainly due to marketing spend sequencing, but management expects to meet full-year guidance of around 8% cost growth (excluding Germany).
The company maintains a strong capital and liquidity position, with a leverage ratio of 5.4% (well above the 3.5% requirement), supporting continued dividend payouts (7% of net earnings) and share buybacks in line with last year.
Strategic priorities for 2025 include launching operations in Germany, expanding high-end trading features, continuing strong net flows in fund and pension business, and maintaining cost control and scalability; customer growth and savings capital growth remain key revenue drivers.
