Trading Point UK: 40% Revenue Growth, Ongoing Losses

Trading Point UK, an FCA-licensed entity overseeing brokerage brands such as XM and Trading.com, has released its operational results for 2023, showcasing a significant revenue increase. The firm reported a 40% growth in revenue, climbing to £1.4 million from £1.1 million in 2022. Despite this impressive growth, the company faced challenges, leading to another year of net losses.

In its report filed with the UK Companies House, Trading Point UK revealed that rising operational costs had surged to nearly £2.3 million, resulting in a net loss of £844,000. However, this loss marks a reduction of approximately 20% from the £1.09 million loss reported in the previous year, indicating some financial improvement.

Trading Point’s net asset position also saw a positive shift, increasing to £2 million, up from £1.4 million in 2022. The company largely attributed this growth to a successful share capital increase in February 2023, which involved issuing 1,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares with a nominal value of £1 each. The company noted in its report that the available cash reserves reflect its capability to meet obligations as they arise and to support its capital requirements.

Trading Point UK: 40% Revenue Growth, Ongoing Losses

The recent announcement from Trading Point UK comes amid a wave of financial disclosures from brokers across the UK. Several firms have revealed their operational results with the deadline for publishing financial statements.

Notably, Citadel Securities saw its two British subsidiaries report a remarkable 35% profit growth, contrasting with the struggles of Capital.com UK. The latter faced rising costs that severely impacted its bottom line, resulting in a 60% decline in profit, dropping from $4.1 million in 2022 to $1.5 million.

Additionally, LandFX reported a nearly 30% downturn in turnover and gross profit yet managed to improve its net profit to £55,000, up from £46,500 the previous year.

As the financial landscape continues to evolve, Trading Point UK’s performance reflects the opportunities and challenges brokers face in the competitive UK market. While revenue growth offers a glimpse of potential recovery, persistent net losses highlight the need for strategic adjustments to achieve profitability in the coming years.
