Marex Group plc Announces Full Year 2023 Results and Q1 2024 Update

  • Transformational year thanks to successful organic growth and the benefit of acquisitions
  • First quarter profit at the top end of range for preliminary results shows continued strong performance
  • Positive momentum continued into the second quarter with good performance in April

NEW YORK, May 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marex Group plc (‘Marex’ or the 'Group’), a diversified global financial services platform, announces strong results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, and a positive update for the first three months ended March 31, 2024.

Ian Lowitt, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“2023 was another exceptional year where we transformed the scale and scope of the firm and maintained our record of delivering sequential growth over each of the last nine years, with an Adjusted Operating Profit compound annual growth rate of 34%. We continued to deliver on our strategy to expand our capabilities and our geographic reach, providing our growing client base with essential market connectivity, liquidity and hedging solutions.

We also delivered strong performance in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the strength and scalability of the diversified global platform we have built. We are pleased to report profit at the top end of the range of the preliminary results in our IPO registration statement and significantly higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. We are delighted to have successfully launched our IPO in April and are grateful for the strong investor engagement and support. As we look to the second quarter, we have seen continued positive momentum.

The outlook for Marex remains positive. We have strong momentum in our core businesses bolstered by supportive macro-economic conditions. We continue to consider potential inorganic growth opportunities that will supplement our strong organic growth initiatives, which are proceeding well. We expect to continue to deliver sustainable growth and build an even more diversified and resilient business.”

For this quarterly update we are providing a comparison to the fourth quarter 2023, the most recent quarter. There are no comparable numbers from the first quarter in 2023 because as a private company we were not required to do a substantive close. We started this process from June 2023 in preparation for our US listing. Therefore, we will provide comparisons for the first half of 2023 as well as the third and fourth quarter.

Full Year 2023 Highlights:

(a) Goodwill impairment charges in 2023 relates to the impairment recognised for goodwill relating to the Volatility Performance Fund S.A. CGU (‘VPF’) largely due to declining projected revenue. Goodwill impairment changes in 2022 relates to the impairment charge recognised for the OTC Energy CGU largely due to declining budgeted performance and macroeconomic factors, such as high inflation and interest rates.

(b) Bargain purchase gains relate to a gain of $0.3 million (2022: $71.6 million), recognised as a result of the acquisition of ED&F Man Capital Markets' US and UK businesses in 2022.

(c) Acquisition costs are costs, such as legal fees incurred in relation to the business acquisitions of ED&F Man Capital Markets business, the OTCex group and Cowen's Prime Services and Outsourced Trading business.

(d) This represents the amortisation charge for the year/period of acquired brands and customers lists.

(e) Activities in relation to shareholders primarily consist of dividend-like contributions made to participants within certain of our share-based payments schemes. In prior years, this balance was presented as part of amortisation of acquired brands and customer lists. Given the increase of the balance in 2023, this has been reclassified out of the line item and is now presented separately.

(f) Owner fees relate to management services to parties associated with the ultimate controlling party based on a percentage of our EBITDA in each year, presented in the income statement within other expenses. Owner fees are excluded from operating expenses as they do not form part of the operation of the business and ceased to be incurred after the completion of our offering.

(g) IPO preparation costs related to consulting, legal and audit fees, presented in the income statement within other expenses.

(h) Profit attributable to AT1 note holders includes the coupons on the AT1 which are accounted for as dividends and the tax benefit of the coupons.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
Certain parts of this press release contain non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity and Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity. These non-IFRS financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for profit after tax, profit margin, return on equity or any other financial information presented in accordance with IFRS and may be different from similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies.

We define Adjusted Operating Profit as profit after tax adjusted for (i) tax, (ii) goodwill impairment charges, (iii) acquisition costs, (iv) bargain purchase gains, (v) owner fees, (vi) amortisation of acquired brands and customer lists, (vii) activities in relation to shareholders and (viii) initial public offering (“IPO”) preparation costs. Adjusted Operating Profit is the primary measure used by our management to evaluate and understand our underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. Adjusted Operating Profit is the measure used by our executive board to assess the financial performance of our business in relation to our trading performance. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is profit after tax. We believe Adjusted Operating Profit is a useful measure as it allows management to monitor our ongoing core operations and provides useful information to investors and analysts regarding the net results of the business. The core operations represent the primary trading operations of the business.

We define Adjusted Operating Profit Margin as Adjusted Operating Profit (as defined above) divided by revenue. We believe that Adjusted Operating Profit Margin is a useful measure as it allows management to assess the profitability of our business in relation to revenue. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is profit margin, which is profit after tax divided by revenue.

We define Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity as adjusted operating profit adjusting for (i) the tax effect of the adjusting items to calculate adjusted operating profit, (ii) the tax effect from the coupons on the additional tier one capital and (iii) the profit attributable to the holders of the Additional Tier 1 capital. We define common equity as being the equity belonging to the holder of the Group’s share capital. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is profit after tax.

We define the Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity as the Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity, divided by the average common equity for the period. Common equity is the total equity and deducting the Additional Tier 1 capital, the average being a two point average from the beginning and end of the period. The most directly comparable IFRS measure for Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity is profit after tax.

We believe that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. Our management uses these non-IFRS measures to evaluate our business strategies and to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. We believe that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors because they improve the comparability of our financial results between periods and provide for greater transparency of key measures used to evaluate our performance. In addition, we believe Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity and Return on Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate companies in the financial services industry. However, they are not presentations made in accordance with IFRS, and the use of the terms Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity and Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity may vary from others in our industry. Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity and Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to us, many of which present related performance measures when reporting their results.

Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity and Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity are used by different companies for differing purposes and are often calculated in different ways that reflect the circumstances of those companies. In addition, certain judgments and estimates are inherent in our process to calculate such non-IFRS measures. You should exercise caution in comparing Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity and Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity as reported by us to Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity, and Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity as reported by other companies.

Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity and Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are:

  • they do not reflect costs incurred in relation to the acquisitions that we have undertaken;
  • they do not reflect impairment of goodwill;
  • other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures; and
  • the adjustments made in calculating these non-IFRS measures are those that management considers to be not representative of our core operations and, therefore, are subjective in nature.

Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity and Return on Adjusted Operating Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity.

We also use key performance indicators (“KPIs”) such as Average Balances, Trades Executed, and Contracts Cleared to assess the performance of our business and believe that these KPIs provide useful information to both management and investors by showing the growth of our business across the periods presented.

Our management uses these KPIs to evaluate our business strategies and to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. We define certain terms used in this release as follows:

“Average balances” means the average amount of segregated and non-segregated client balances that generate interest income for us over a given period, calculated by taking the balances at the end of each quarter for the last five quarters.
“Trades executed” means the total number of trades executed on our platform in a given year.
“Contracts cleared” means the total number of contracts cleared in a given year.
