OFX Group's FY25 first half financial performance

OFX Group (ASX:OFX) has released its financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2025, ending September 30, 2024. The company reported a Fee and Trading Income of $114.5 million, consistent with the previous year. However, Net Operating Income decreased by 3.5% due to challenging macroeconomic conditions, particularly affecting the UK and Canadian Corporate segments. Underlying EBITDA fell by 8.8%, with operating expenses reduced by 1.4% to $82.1 million.

Overview and future outlook for OFX Group

OFX Group's first half FY25 results reflect a stable revenue environment, but challenges in macroeconomic conditions led to a decrease in Net Operating Income and Underlying EBITDA. Despite these challenges, the Corporate segment showed growth in markets like Australia, the US, and Europe, and the Enterprise segment expanded its pipeline. The launch of the New Client Platform (NCP) in June brought positive results, with plans to extend its rollout to Canada and the UK. Looking forward, OFX is optimistic about improved market conditions and aims for a 28% EBITDA margin in the second half of the fiscal year. The company remains committed to its long-term growth targets, including a 15%+ annual NOI growth and approximately 30% Underlying EBITDA margin. An additional investment of $1 million is planned for the NCP expansion, underscoring OFX's strategic focus on innovation and growth.
