  • Non-GAAP adjusted net income5 increased 90.2% year-over-year to HK$1,014.5 million (US$130.0 million).

Full Year 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Total revenues increased 7.0% year-over-year to HK$7,614.0 million (US$976.0 million).
  • Total gross profit increased 12.0% year-over-year to HK$6,617.9 million (US$848.3 million).
  • Net income increased 4.2% year-over-year to HK$2,926.9 million (US$375.2 million).
  • Non-GAAP adjusted net income increased 7.6% year-over-year to HK$3,131.4 million (US$401.4 million).

Mr. Leaf Hua Li, Futu’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We added over 240 thousand paying clients in 2022, bringing total paying clients to around 1.5 million. In the fourth quarter, client acquisition decelerated across all regions due to weak market performance in the first half of the quarter and concerns over the sustainability of market rebound in the second half. In Hong Kong, clients over 35 years old contributed over 50% of our new paying clients in the quarter, as we conducted online marketing and hosted offline events to increase touchpoints with this population. In the U.S., we continued to prioritize client quality over quantity. The average net asset inflow of new paying clients in their first month of onboarding increased by about 40% compared to the third quarter. In Singapore, client acquisition was resilient as interest in fixed income fund products remained elevated.”

“Total client assets increased by 2.4% year-over-year and 12.9% quarter-over-quarter to HK$417.5 billion, driven by market appreciation of our clients’ Hong Kong stock holdings and robust net asset inflow across all regions. Margin financing and securities lending balance declined by 10.0% sequentially as clients unwound some of their margin positions during market rebound.”

“Total trading volume was flattish quarter-over-quarter at HK$1.1 trillion. Hong Kong stock trading volume grew 30.7% sequentially to HK$396.6 billion as the market rally since November drove elevated trading activities, especially in some China new economy companies. U.S. stock trading volume, on the other hand, declined 10.2% quarter-over-quarter to HK$675.3 billion due to a directionless market and weak sentiments around key technology names, partially offset by resilient trading turnover in leveraged and inverse ETFs.”

“The growth momentum of our wealth management business sustained into the fourth quarter, as clients piled into money market funds amid interest rate hikes to take advantage of higher yields. Total asset balance was HK$31.6 billion, representing a 68.0% growth year-over-year and 21.6% growth quarter-over-quarter. In Hong Kong, we expanded structured product offerings to meet different risk-return objectives of our high-net-worth clients during market turmoil. In Singapore, we onboarded commodity funds and alternative funds to help clients diversify their portfolios.”

“Our enterprise business had 333 IPO distribution and IR clients as well as 638 ESOP clients, up 41.1% and 59.5% year-over-year, respectively. Of all 28 companies listed in 2022 with market capitalization over HK$10 billion by the end of the year, 23 of them have used one or more of our enterprise product offerings. In the quarter, we acted as joint bookrunners for several high-profile HK IPOs, including those of 360 DigiTech and Weilong Delicious.”

Mr. Arthur Yu Chen, Futu’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “We announced in March 2022 that our board of directors had authorized a new share repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to US$500 million worth of our ADSs, until the end of 2023. As of December 31, 2022, we had repurchased an aggregate of 8 million ADSs with approximately US$250 million total repurchased amount in open market transactions. This constituted about 50% of the maximum purchase amount approved under our share repurchase program.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenues

Total revenues were HK$2,280.7 million (US$292.3 million), an increase of 42.3% from HK$1,602.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Brokerage commission and handling charge income was HK$1,048.6 million (US$134.4 million), an increase of 22.4% from the fourth quarter of 2021. This was mainly driven by the increase in blended commission rate from 7.0bps to 9.6bps.

Interest income was HK$1,137.8 million (US$145.8 million), an increase of 84.2% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly driven by higher interest income from bank deposits due to higher benchmark interest rate.

Other income was HK$94.3 million (US$12.1 million), a decrease of 26.5% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower currency exchange service income and underwriting fee income.

Costs

Brokerage commission and handling charge expenses were HK$64.0 million (US$8.2 million), a decrease of 27.0% from the fourth quarter of 2021. Brokerage commission expenses declined year-over-year mainly due to cost savings from our U.S. self-clearing business.

Interest expenses were HK$182.0 million (US$23.3 million), an increase of 227.3% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly driven by higher expenses associated with our securities borrowing and lending business.

Processing and servicing costs were HK$96.2 million (US$12.3 million), an increase of 30.9% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher data transmission fee and system upgrade fee.

Research and development expenses were HK$334.5 million (US$42.9 million), an increase of 23.6% from the fourth quarter of 2021. This was primarily due to an increase in research and development headcount to support overseas expansion and new product offerings.

Selling and marketing expenses were HK$153.1 million (US$19.6 million), a decrease of 54.6% from HK$337.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was due to fewer new paying clients and lower customer acquisition costs.

General and administrative expenses were HK$330.3 million (US$42.3 million), an increase of 51.6% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative personnel and higher professional service fees for proposed HK listing.

Brokerage commission and handling charge income was HK$4,007.6 million (US$513.7 million), an increase of 2.4% from HK$3,913.0 million in 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher blended commission rate, partially offset by lower trading volume.

Interest income was HK$3,214.3 million (US$412.0 million), an increase of 27.6% from HK$2,518.2 million in 2021. The increase in interest income was mainly driven by higher interest income from bank deposits, partially offset by lower IPO financing interest income and margin financing interest income.

Other income was HK$392.1 million (US$50.3 million), a decrease of 42.7% from HK$684.1 million in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower IPO financing service charge income and underwriting fee income amid an inactive IPO market.

Interest expenses were HK$292.5 million (US$37.5 million), a decrease of 22.4% from HK$376.9 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly driven by lower margin financing interest expenses, partially offset by higher expenses associated with our securities borrowing and lending business.

Processing and servicing costs were HK$373.8 million (US$47.9 million), an increase of 45.4% from HK$257.0 million in 2021. The growth was primarily due to an increase in cloud service fee to support overseas expansion.

Selling and marketing expenses were HK$895.8 million (US$114.8 million), a decrease of 35.7% from HK$1,392.1 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to slower paying client growth.

General and administrative expenses were HK$931.1 million (US$119.4 million), an increase of 76.0% from HK$529.0 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount for general and administrative personnel and higher professional service fees for proposed HK listing.

About Futu Holdings Limited

Futu Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: FUTU) is an advanced technology company transforming the investing experience by offering a fully digitalized brokerage and wealth management platform. The Company primarily serves the emerging affluent population, pursuing a massive opportunity to facilitate a once-in-a-generation shift in the wealth management industry and build a digital gateway into broader financial services.

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.
