Highlights

  • Revenue Growth: FY24 revenues reached £50.3m, slightly exceeding FY23 (£49.9m) and surpassing expectations.
  • Strategic Expansion: Operational licenses granted in Australia and Dubai, with both regions now contributing to growth.
  • Platform Development: Argentex Global Platform build advancing as planned.

Argentex Group PLC (LSE:AGFX), a global leader in currency risk management and alternative banking solutions, has provided a trading update for the 12 months ending December 31, 2024. The company reported steady growth in revenue and significant progress in its global expansion strategy.

Revenue and Profitability

Argentex reported estimated FY24 revenues of £50.3m, marginally surpassing the £49.9m achieved in FY23 and exceeding initial market expectations of mid-£40m. Despite a challenging start to 2024 due to adverse market conditions in the foreign exchange (FX) sector, the company experienced improved trading momentum in the second half of the year. Revenues in H2 2024 exceeded those of H1, reflecting a return to year-on-year growth.

The Board anticipates meeting its initial low single-digit EBITDA margin expectations, underpinned by continued investment in strategic initiatives.

Key Achievements in Global Expansion

The company made significant strides in extending its geographic footprint:

  • Australia: Argentex secured an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) in May 2024 from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). This license enables the company to offer tailored currency risk management solutions and global accounts to wholesale clients across Australia. The Australian office is now fully operational and staffed, contributing to revenue generation.
  • Dubai: Argentex also obtained an operational license for Dubai, marking a key milestone in accessing the Middle Eastern market. The Dubai office is similarly fully staffed and poised to contribute to growth.

These expansions align with Argentex’s strategy to diversify revenue streams by entering new geographies and broadening its product offerings.

Platform Development and Leadership Strengthening

Argentex reported steady progress in building its Argentex Global Platform, a key initiative to enhance its digital capabilities and streamline client services. Additionally, the company has strengthened its leadership team across various business areas, ensuring robust management for its next phase of growth.

Outlook for 2025

With its expanded global presence and a focus on innovation, Argentex is well-positioned to capitalize on new opportunities in its key markets. The company expects continued contributions from its Australian and Dubai operations, alongside further advancements in its digital platform.
