Ik denk niet dat de resultaten in Q4 tot nog toe aanleiding geven om de markt te informeren, dat de resultaten wezenlijk anders zullen zijn, dan ze in het persbericht bij de publicatie van de Q3 resultaten hebben uitgesproken. Tot 8 februari 2019 zal FT waarschijnlijk geen update geven.
Persbericht FT Q3:
Co-CEO Dennis Dijkstra stated:
“Markets were seasonally slow in the third quarter, as certain geopolitical events only had a short impact on the
market. The temporary fall in realized volatility in especially the US, affected profit potential in 3Q18. Flow
Traders continued to focus on executing its organic growth strategy, with momentum increasing in its global
OTC trading. FX liquidity providing with external counterparties is now live in EMEA and expansion to other
platforms is expected to follow soon. All in all, Flow Traders’ market share continued to grow in 3Q18, leading
to an NTI in the quarter that is above last year’s NTI level, adding to what is already our best year since
inception. With FX trading live, Flow Traders is accelerating plans to diversify into other asset classes, in
addition to its leading ETP business.”
CFO Marcel Jongmans added:
“In 3Q18 our focus on cost control continued. The fixed cost increase in the quarter was mainly the result of
expected investments, such as the start of new graduate classes in trading and technology and the ongoing
expansion of our infrastructure. Our regulatory capital base remained healthy with conservative levels of excess
capital in 3Q18. Flow Traders continues to have a strong and unleveraged balance sheet, while generating
strong free cash flows. Looking ahead, Flow Traders remains focused on enhancing the performance of its
trading infrastructure to maximize NTI, while keeping a tight grip on cost.”
