XTB Limited, the UK subsidiary of Warsaw-listed fintech XTB, more than doubled its revenue in 2025 as the company reported higher profit despite a sharp increase in operating expenses.

According to its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, revenue rose to £8.64 million from £4.51 million a year earlier. Cost of sales remained negligible at nil, compared with £3 in 2024, lifting gross profit to £8.64 million from £4.51 million.

XTB Limited said the business continued its transition during 2025 from a "predominantly CFD-focused broker" to a "broader, multi-asset investment platform" targeting the UK mass investment market.

Expenses Jump, Profit Keeps Climbing

Administrative expenses almost doubled during the year, climbing to £8.16 million from £4.13 million. Even so, operating profit increased to £478,969 from £375,968 in the previous year.

Finance costs also rose significantly, reaching £11,868 from £1,740 in 2024. Despite that increase, profit before taxation climbed to £467,101 from £374,228 a year earlier.

Multi-Asset Strategy Remains Growth Focus

The company recorded an income tax expense of £147,864 for the year, compared with £95,128 in 2024. After tax, profit and total comprehensive income reached £319,237, up from £279,100 in the previous year.

The company said its strategy is to provide retail clients with access to multiple asset classes through a single platform. It added that product development during the year focused on "expanding longer-term investment solutions," improving the user interface, and "enhancing accessibility for non-CFD clients."

The financial results align with XTB's broader strategy to diversify beyond CFDs. Earlier this year, the company expanded its UK investment offering with the launch of a Cash ISA, complementing its existing Stocks & Shares ISA.

Germany Becomes Key Marketing Focus

The company's expansion extends beyond the UK. Chief Executive Omar Arnaout said the company plans to spend more on marketing in Germany than in Poland during 2026 as it seeks to increase brand recognition in one of its key growth markets.

The move forms part of XTB's strategy to expand its retail client base across Europe and strengthen its position as a multi-asset investment platform.
