Finseta plc (AIM: FIN), a foreign exchange and payments solutions provider, announced financial results for the first half of 2024, with revenue soaring approximately 42% to £5.1 million compared to the same period last year.

In response to the trading update published on Tuesday morning, the company's shares opened on the London Stock Exchange with a ten percent increase, testing monthly highs.

Finseta Reports Revenue Growth in First Half of 2024

The company, which offers multi-currency accounts through a proprietary technology platform, saw its active customer base grow to 952, up from 874 in the first half of 2023. This growth, coupled with an increase in average transaction value, contributed to the significant revenue boost.

Finseta's gross margin improved to approximately 65%, up from 61% in the previous year. The company attributed this improvement to its strategic decision to phase out its white-label business. Excluding revenue from white label partners, underlying revenue growth was even stronger at 54%.

Adjusted EBITDA saw an increase of about 300% to £0.8 million, reflecting both revenue growth and the scalability of the company's platform. Cash flow generated from operations rose to £0.7 million, resulting in a healthy cash balance of £2.8 million as of June 30, 2024.

"This has been another excellent period of delivery for Finseta, with substantial growth in revenue and EBITDA as we continued to increase our number of customers and average transaction value,” commented James Hickman, CEO of Finseta.

Hickman also highlighted the company's progress in expanding its presence in Canada and advancing its card program. He affirmed that Finseta remains on track to deliver growth for the full year 2024, in line with the Board's expectations.

“Accordingly, and with the strong trading momentum being sustained, we remain on track to deliver significant growth for FY 2024,” Hickman added.

The company's client mix remained stable, with high-net-worth individuals accounting for 61% of revenue and corporate customers for 39%.

Finseta is scheduled to release its full interim results on September 10, 2024.
