Insights

UP Fintech's Q4 and full-year 2024 results showcase exceptional financial performance with record-breaking metrics across the board. Q4 revenue surged 77.3% year-over-year to $124.1 million, while full-year revenue reached $391.5 million, up 43.7% from 2023. Most impressive is the company's profitability transformation - Q4 net income hit $28.1 million compared to a $1.8 million loss in Q4 2023, while full-year profit jumped 86.5% to $60.7 million.

The company's core brokerage business is firing on all cylinders, with commission revenue soaring 154.9% in Q4 due to higher trading volumes. Customer metrics are equally strong, with total users with deposits reaching 1.09 million, up 20.7% YoY. The company added 187,400 new funded accounts in 2024, significantly exceeding their guidance of 150,000. Total account balance grew to $41.7 billion, representing 36.4% YoY growth and reflecting strong user confidence.

Particularly noteworthy is the dramatic increase in margin financing and securities lending balances, up 88.2% YoY to $4.5 billion, indicating growing client sophistication and trading activity. The company's cash position strengthened to $396 million, up from $327.7 million at the end of 2023, providing ample resources for continued growth initiatives.

The only minor concern is an increase in allowance for customer receivables to $15.3 million from $1 million in 2023, related to a specific bad debt provision for a Hong Kong stock pledge business affected by extreme market conditions. However, this appears to be an isolated incident rather than a systemic issue.

UP Fintech's strategic technology initiatives position the company at the forefront of fintech innovation in the brokerage space. The company has successfully secured regulatory approval for its cryptocurrency platform, YAX (Hong Kong) , from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, establishing itself as a legitimate player in the regulated digital asset space. This represents a significant expansion of their service offering beyond traditional securities.

The upgrade from TigerGPT to TigerAI marks a notable advancement in their artificial intelligence capabilities. By integrating with leading AI models, UP Fintech claims to be the first brokerage platform globally to incorporate such technology, potentially creating meaningful differentiation in user experience and analytical capabilities. This aligns with the industry trend toward AI-augmented financial services.

Their technology infrastructure has clearly scaled effectively to support dramatic business growth, handling increased trading volumes and user acquisition without apparent operational issues. The 171.5% increase in execution and clearing expenses alongside the 38.2% rise in communication and market data expenses indicates substantial investment in technological capacity to support higher transaction volumes and data processing requirements.

The company's ability to support robust global expansion is evidenced by increased headcount and IT-related expenses, demonstrating a commitment to building technological capabilities that can sustain their international growth trajectory. These investments appear to be yielding strong returns given the significant increases in revenue and profitability metrics.

SINGAPORE, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UP Fintech Holding Limited (NASDAQ: TIGR) (“UP Fintech” or the “Company”), a leading online brokerage firm focusing on global investors, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Mr. Wu Tianhua, Chairman and CEO of UP Fintech stated: “Both of our financial and operating performance have achieved significant growth in the fourth quarter and the full year of 2024. Total revenue in the fourth quarter reached US$124.1 million, representing a sequential increase of 22.8% and a year-over-year growth of 77.3%. The full year total revenue amounted to US$391.5 million, a 43.7% increase from 2023. Bottom line also largely increased on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech in the fourth quarter reached US$28.1 million, representing a quarter-over-quarter growth of 58.0% and compared to a net loss of US$1.8 million in the same quarter of last year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech in the fourth quarter amounted to US$30.5 million, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 51.7% and a year-over-year increase of 2772.5%. The full year net income and non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech in 2024 were US$60.7 million and US$70.5 million, increased 86.5% and 65.0% respectively compared to prior year. We are pleased to see that both our annual and quarterly topline and bottom line have reached an all-time high as we keep executing internationalization strategy and building a resilient business model with healthier operating leverage.

In the fourth quarter, we added 59,200 customers with deposits, an increase of 17.2% quarter over quarter and 51.4% year over year, bringing our yearly total to 187,400, exceeding our yearly guidance of 150,000. The total number of customers with deposits at the end of 2024 reached 1,092,000, a 20.7% increase compared to 2023 year-end. Additionally, asset inflows remained robust, with a net inflow of US$1.1 billion in the fourth quarter, primarily from retail investors. This was slightly offset by a mark-to-market loss. As a result, the total account balance rose by 2.4% quarter over quarter and 36.4% year over year, reaching a record US$41.7 billion. Over the past three years, the number of customers with deposits and total account balance have achieved compound annual growth rates (“CAGRs”) of 17.5% and 34.7%, respectively.

We have continued to roll out a range of localized products and features designed to enhance the user experience. In late January, our cryptocurrency platform, YAX (Hong Kong) Limited, received official approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HKSFC), becoming a licensed virtual asset trading platform (VATP) in Hong Kong. Recently, we officially upgraded our AI investment assistant, TigerGPT to TigerAI and integrated with leading AI models, making it the first brokerage platform globally to incorporate such technology.

Our corporate business continued to perform well in the fourth quarter of 2024. During this period, we underwrote a total of 14 U.S. and Hong Kong IPOs, including “Mao Geping Company”, “Pony AI Inc.” and “WeRide Inc.”, bringing the total number of U.S. and Hong Kong IPOs underwritten for the year to 44. In our ESOP business, we added 16 new clients in the fourth quarter, bringing the total number of ESOP clients served to 613 as of December 31, 2024.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech and non-GAAP net loss or income per ADS - diluted as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We define non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech as net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP net loss or income per ADS - diluted is non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech divided by the weighted average number of diluted ADSs.

We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect our operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to total operating costs and expenses, net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review these historical non-GAAP financial measures in light of the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing our data comparatively. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
