Mr. Leaf Hua Li, Futu’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the third quarter, we added 254 thousand net new funded accounts, up 24.7% quarter-over-quarter. Total funded accounts reached 3.1 million, up 42.6% year-over-year and 8.8% quarter-over-quarter. Client acquisition picked up in every market. For the fourth consecutive quarter, Hong Kong led new client additions as we executed well in a quarter of strong equity market performance and robust IPO pipeline. We believe that leading brokers in Hong Kong benefit from the new IPO FINI regime as clients consolidate their brokerage accounts to increase their odds of IPO allocation. Malaysia contributed meaningfully to the Company’s funded account growth in the quarter, and we continue to see a long runway for growth in Malaysia after seven quarters of rapid market share expansion. During the quarter, we enhanced product localization by rolling out Bursa derivatives, SGX futures, and AI tools that support Malay language and local stock analysis. As a result of our growing brand appeal and product experience, the strength of our U.S. business was broad-based this quarter: new funded accounts grew high double digits sequentially, while the number of option traders and option contracts traded also increased by double digits quarter-over-quarter. We continue to cement our leadership in Singapore, with new funded accounts again posting steady sequential growth and our DAU advantage vis-à-vis our peers further widening.”

^1^ The number of funded accounts refers to the number of brokerage accounts with Futu that have a positive account balance. Multiple funded accounts by one client are counted as one funded account.

^2^ Multiple brokerage accounts by one client are counted as one brokerage account.

^3^ The number of users refers to the number of user accounts registered with Futu.

^4^ Non-GAAP adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses.

“Total client assets were HK$1.24 trillion, an increase of 78.9% year-over-year and 27.4% quarter-over-quarter. The growth was primarily driven by mark-to-market gains on clients’ holdings, complemented by robust net asset inflow. Average client assets logged double-digit sequential growth to new highs across all markets. Margin financing and securities lending balance rose 22.8% sequentially to HK$63.1 billion amid clients’ risk-on mood.”

“Total trading volume reached a record HK$3.90 trillion, up 8.7% quarter-over-quarter. U.S. stock turnover was broadly flat at HK$2.60 trillion compared with the prior quarter as clients continued to engage actively with technology and crypto names. Hong Kong stock trading volume surged 42.9% sequentially to HK$1.19 trillion, accounting for 31% of total trading volume, the highest percentage since 2023. We saw clients quickly flocked to Hong Kong technology names which outperformed many of their U.S. counterparts. Crypto trading volume soared 161% quarter-over-quarter, on the back of a 90% sequential increase in crypto assets and higher trading velocity. Ethereum overtook Bitcoin as the most traded coin, while the newly-launched Solana in Hong Kong also contributed meaningfully. We believe we are in the very early innings of driving crypto penetration.”

“Wealth management asset balance expanded to HK$175.6 billion, up 7.6% quarter-over-quarter, primarily attributable to inflow into money market and fixed income products. We launched a self-service request-for-quote (RFQ) function for structured products, enabling professional investors to customize products based on the parameters they desire, obtain quotes, and execute trades without human intervention, fulfilling clients’ bespoke needs while improving operating efficiency.”

“We had 561 IPO distribution and IR clients, up 21.7% year-over-year. The third quarter saw sustained momentum in Hong Kong IPO subscriptions, with 12 deals each attracting over HK$100 billion in subscription amount on our platform. We acted as joint bookrunners for several high-profile listings, including those of Chery Automobile, Hesai Group, and Lens Technology.”

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenues

Total revenues were HK$6,402.9 million (US$822.9 million), an increase of 86.3% from HK$3,436.1 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Brokerage commission and handling charge income was HK$2,913.8 million (US$374.5 million), an increase of 90.6% from the third quarter of 2024. This was mainly due to the 104.8% year-over-year increase in total trading volume, partially offset by the decline in blended commission rate.

Interest income was HK$3,045.0 million (US$391.3 million), an increase of 79.2% from the third quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by higher interest income from securities borrowing and lending business and margin financing interest income.

Other income was HK$444.1 million (US$57.1 million), an increase of 113.0% from the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher currency exchange service income, fund distribution service income and IPO subscription service charge income.

Costs

Total costs were HK$793.7 million (US$102.0 million), an increase of 27.0% from HK$624.9 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Brokerage commission and handling charge expenses were HK$160.6 million (US$20.6 million), an increase of 97.1% from the third quarter of 2024. This increase was roughly in line with the growth of our brokerage commission and handling charge income.

Interest expenses were HK$473.8 million (US$60.9 million), an increase of 14.6% from the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses associated with our securities borrowing and lending business.

Processing and servicing costs were HK$159.2 million (US$20.5 million), an increase of 22.7% from the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher cloud service fee as well as higher market information and data fee.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit was HK$5,609.2 million (US$720.9 million), an increase of 99.5% from HK$2,811.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. Gross margin was 87.6%, as compared to 81.8% in the third quarter of 2024.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were HK$1,704.8 million (US$219.1 million), an increase of 57.9% from HK$1,079.9 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Research and development expenses were HK$574.2 million (US$73.8 million), an increase of 49.3% from the third quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by greater investment in crypto and AI capabilities.

Selling and marketing expenses were HK$585.6 million (US$75.3 million), an increase of 86.3% from HK$314.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. This was mainly driven by the increase in new funded accounts.

General and administrative expenses were HK$545.1 million (US$70.1 million), an increase of 43.1% from the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative personnel.

Income from Operations

Income from operations increased by 125.5% to HK$3,904.4 million (US$501.8 million) from HK$1,731.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. Operating margin increased to 61.0% from 50.4% in the third quarter of 2024 mainly due to strong topline growth and operating leverage.

Net Income

Net income increased by 143.9% to HK$3,217.2 million (US$413.5 million) from HK$1,319.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. Net income margin for the third quarter of 2025 increased to 50.2% from 38.4% in the year-ago quarter.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income increased by 136.9% to HK$3,312.5 million (US$425.7 million) from the third quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. For further information, see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the bottom of this press release.

Net Income per ADS

Basic net income per American Depositary Share (“ADS”) was HK$23.20 (US$2.98), compared with HK$9.57 in the third quarter of 2024. Diluted net income per ADS was HK$22.80 (US$2.93), compared with HK$9.42 in the third quarter of 2024. Each ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares.

New Share Repurchase Program

In light of the upcoming expiration of the Company's current share repurchase program approved by the board of directors in March 2024, the Company's board of directors has authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$800 million worth of its ADSs, following the expiration of the Company's current share repurchase program, for a 24-month period until December 31, 2027. The Company plans to fund the repurchases from its existing cash balance.

Under the new share repurchase program, Futu may repurchase its ADSs from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. Futu's board of directors will review the new share repurchase program periodically, and may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP adjusted net income enables the management to assess the Company's operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP adjusted net income is that it does not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted net income. Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance.

For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP and GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.
