XTB has reported record results for the first quarter of 2026, according to figures published by the company.

Net profit for the quarter was estimated at PLN 535 million, up 176% year-on-year. Operating income reached PLN 1.09 billion, an increase of 88.5% compared with the same period last year.

The financial results came alongside an expansion of XTB’s sports sponsorship portfolio. Last week, it became Global Trading Partner of SSC Napoli, adding the Italian club to its wider presence across football, MMA, basketball, tennis and boxing.

The company’s partnerships include KSW in Poland and OKTAGON in Central Europe, alongside ambassadors such as Zlatan Ibrahimović, Iker Casillas and Conor McGregor. In December 2025, XTB also signed a global partnership with FIBA through 2027, covering the 2026 and 2027 Basketball World Cups.

XTB Active Clients Reach 1.27M

Client growth also accelerated during the quarter. XTB reported 370,000 new clients, up 90% year-on-year. The total number of active clients rose to 1.27 million, a 72% annual increase.

Client assets stood at PLN 49.6 billion at the end of the period, with equities accounting for more than PLN 17.6 billion and ETFs over PLN 15.2 billion. The firm described the period as its strongest quarter to date, saying it “kicked off 2026 with record-breaking growth”.

XTB Faces Fine for MiFID Breaches

In a separate development, XTB also faced a regulatory penalty in Poland related to its conduct in retail derivatives markets.

The Polish Financial Supervision Authority has fined XTB SA PLN 20 million for breaches of MiFID II and investor protection rules. The decision, issued in March this year, follows findings that the firm failed to properly assess client knowledge, define target markets and provide adequate disclosure of risks linked to Contracts for Difference.

The regulator said the case highlighted deficiencies in suitability checks and risk communication for complex financial instruments, which are subject to strict requirements under EU and Polish rules.
