SOLOWIN HOLDINGS Reports Unaudited Financial Results for First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 | AXG Stock News

Revenue Soars 453% As Global Expansion Accelerates, /PRNewswire/ -- SOLOWIN HOLDINGS (Nasdaq: AXG) ("SOLOWIN" or the "Company", or "we"), a leading financial technology firm bridging traditional and digital assets, today announced robust unaudited financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026 ended September 30, 2025. Revenue surged 453% year-over-year to $5.84 million, while net loss narrowed by 26% to $4.63 million, underscoring the successful execution of the Company's "traditional finance + digital assets" dual strategy, with digital assets-related services delivering significant synergistic growth.Mr. Ling Ngai Lok, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of SOLOWIN, commented: "Our first-half performance demonstrates the meaningful progress we have made in executing our strategic vision. Assets under management (AUM) on our platform grew to $820 million, institutional clients increased 110% year-over-year to 120, and active users reached 16,000. These results were driven by continuous product innovation, including the launch of the industry's first Real Yield Token (RYT) and Tokenization-as-a-service solutions, further strengthening SOLOWIN's position as a globally integrated financial services platform. During the period, stablecoin and fiat trading volume reached $86 million."Guided by our 'organic growth plus strategic acquisitions' dual-engine strategy, we are accelerating global expansion in a disciplined yet efficient manner. We entered the Saudi Arabian market through a strategic partnership with CITIC, established an operation center in Dubai, and expanded into Singapore through the acquisition of a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license. Most notably, our $350 million acquisition of AlloyX represents a key milestone in building a comprehensive global network of financial services and regulatory licenses, particularly across stablecoin and other high-growth markets."Looking ahead, we will remain focused on strengthening our global payments infrastructure and advancing institutional-grade digital assets services. We believe our expanding portfolio of international licenses will further reinforce the bridge between traditional and digital finance, enabling us to deliver sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders and clients."Financial Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2025RevenueRevenue increased by 453% to $5.84 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $1.06 million for the same period of last year. The increase in revenue was mainly driven by the increase in revenue from digital assets related services. As a result of the AlloyX Group acquisition, prior period amounts may not be comparable to current period amounts or expected future trends. AlloyX Group's results of operations are included from September 3, 2025.Traditional Financial ServicesFor the six months ended September 30,20252024(in thousands)% of revenue(in thousands)% of revenueSecurities brokerage commissions and handling income$13-$758%Investment advisory fees1593%31830%Corporate consultancy service income1603%23722%Asset management income – related parties3286%38036%Interest income--303%Referral income2---Total$66212%$1,04099%Revenue from securities brokerage commissions and handling income decreased to $13,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $75,000 for the same period of 2024. The decrease in commissions earned is due to a lower volume of trading activity in the U.S. market.Revenue from investment advisory fees decreased by $159,000, or 50% to $159,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $318,000 for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a reduced client base and decrease in value-added services to institutional clients.Revenue from corporate consultancy service decreased to $160,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $237,000 for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a reduced client base and decrease in value-added services to institutional clients.Revenue from asset management from related parties decreased by $52,000, or 14% to $328,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $380,000 for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decrease of performance fees derived from Grow World II LPF, resulting from reduced investor subscriptions and weaker fund performance for the six months ended September 30, 2025.Revenue from interest income decreased by $30,000, or 100% to nil for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $30,000 for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in outstanding deposits from the rolling balance cash clients in relation to the securities brokerage services and decrease in bank deposit interest rates.Referral income increased to $2,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from nil for the same period of 2024. The referral income was generated by referring investors to the Company's corporate customers or brokers for IPO subscriptions in oversea markets. The Company acted as an agent and earned referral income in a percentage of subscription amount stipulated in the agreement. No such referral activities occurred for the six months ended September 30, 2024.Digital Assets-Related ServicesFor the six months ended September 30,20252024(in thousands)% f revenue(in thousands)% of revenueVirtual assets service income5,18088%151%Total$5,18088%$151%Virtual assets service income increased to $5,180,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $15,000 for the same period of 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to the growing adoption of the Company's virtual assets services, including trading of digital assets, and subscription and redemption services for the Bitcoin spot ETF and Ethereum spot ETF, as well as the integrated solutions services provided by AlloyX Group to clients during current period.ExpensesExpenses increased to $10.49 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $7.35 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to increase in general and administrative expenses and virtual assets service costs for the six months ended September 30, 2025.Commission and handling expenses – Commission and handling expenses increased to $133,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $18,000 for the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly due to increase in trading activities in relation to virtual assets products.General and administrative expenses – General and administrative expenses increased to $3,469,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $2,016,000 for the same period of 2024. The Company's general and administrative expenses consist primarily of depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, professional fee, information technology expenses, office leases, and general office expenses. Such increase was mainly due to increase in professional and consultation fee in relation to the newly launched digital assets business and increase in office lease expenses for new offices.Virtual assets service costs – Virtual assets service costs increased to $4,665,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from nil for the same period of 2024. The increase was due to the expansion and development of the Company's virtual assets services during the current period.Marketing and promotion expenses – The Company's marketing and promotion expenses consist primarily of expenses related to advertising and other promotional activities. The Company's marketing and promotion expense decreased by $419,000, to $515,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $934,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease reflects fewer significant marketing events comparing to the prior period.Allowance for (reversal of) credit losses – The Company recorded provision for expected credit losses of $35,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the reversal of provision for expected credit losses of $412,000. This is in line with the increase in overall receivables balances.Employee Benefits Expenses – The Company's employee benefits expenses decreased by $2,694,000, or 62%, to $1,673,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $4,367,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was mainly due to the implementation of the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan under which 1,980,000 ordinary shares were issued to employees as share rewards during the six months ended September 30, 2024, but no such costs were incurred during the six months ended 30 September 2025, which was partly offset by the increase in headcount after acquisition of subsidiaries during the six months ended September 30, 2025.Referral fee – For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred referral fee of $139,000 related to the Company's investment banking segment. These expenses were associated with the successful referral of clients for corporate consultancy or financial advisory service. No such referral expenses were recorded during the same period in 2025.Share of Results of an Associate – For the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded its share of the associate's gain of $3,000 and loss of $27,000, respectively. This reflects the Company's equity method accounting for its investment in an associate company.Impairment loss of long-term investments – For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $259,000 on one of its long-term investments which does not have a readily determinable fair value.
