XTB's Q3 Revenue Down 29% on Declining Market Volatility

<p>XTB has released its preliminary financial and
operating results for the third quarter, disclosing a decline
in revenue and net profit due to a drop in market volatility. The firms' consolidated revenue also took a hit, decreasing 29.5%
year-on-year (YoY), from PLN 391.3 million to PLN 275.7 million. </p><p>The main contributor to this decrease was the low
profitability per lot, which fell from PLN 245 to PLN 137.
However, this was offset by a surge in active clients, which increased 47.1% YoY. As a result, XTB's transaction volume in CFD instruments soared to
2,011.5 thousand lots, up from 1,594.6 thousand lots in the third quarter of
2022.</p><p>XTB's Commodity-Based CFDs Soar</p><p>CFDs based on commodities played a leading role in
the third quarter of 2023, contributing 47.7% of the total revenue on financial
instruments. These CFDs were particularly profitable due to their basis on
commodities such as oil, gold, and wheat, <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/tag/xtb/" target="_blank" rel="follow">XTB</a> explained. </p><p>Following closely were <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/xtb-takes-spains-tougher-cfd-marketing-rules-in-stride/" target="_blank" rel="follow">CFD instruments</a> based on
indices, accounting for 25.4% of revenue, with US stock indices, including the
US 100 and US 500, leading the category. CFDs based on currency pairs
contributed 22.2% to total revenues, with the most profitable instruments originating from EURUSD, USDJPY, and GBPUSD currency pairs.</p><p>Additionally, XTB experienced growth in its client
base. The online investing platform has acquired 234,704 new clients since the
beginning of the year. This represents an increase of 60% from 145,826 new
clients acquired in the previous year. </p><p>XTB Expands Products and Services </p><p>XTB is a global <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/terms/f/fintech/">fintech</a> company founded in 2002 in Poland.
