    Changes in the composition of X-Trade Brokers DM S.A. Management Board

    The Supervisory Board of X-Trade Brokers Dom Maklerski S.A. at the meeting held on 10 January 2017 decided to make changes in the composition of the Company’s Management Board.

     

    Mr. Jakub Maly was dismissed from the position of the Management Board’s President.  This decision is strategic and results from the need to ensure by the Supervisory Board proper dynamic of the Company’s value growth. The Supervisory Board believes that the pace of strategic goals realization and the capital group’s development has not been sufficient so far. Therefore the Board decided to make changes in the Management Board’s composition.

     

    The Supervisory Board decided that the Management Board will consist of 5 people and  appointed Mr. Omar Arnaout (associated with XTB Group for many years, currently Regional Director of Poland, Germany, Hungary and Romania) for the position of the Member of the Management Board responsible for Sales with the rank of the Vice-President of the Management Board. Mr. Filip Kaczmarzyk (Trading Department Director since May 2015) was appointed for the position of the Management Board Member responsible for Trading.

     

    Furthermore, Mr. Jakub Leonkiewicz, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, has resigned from the participation in the Board in agreement with Mr. Jakub Zabłocki, to enable him to take over as the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Using the statutory powers, Mr. Jakub Zabłocki, has appointed himself as the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. At the same time, under the provisions of the Commercial Companies Code, the Supervisory Board delegated Mr Jakub Zabłocki to temporarily perform the duties of the President of the Management Board from 10th January to 10th April 2017.

     

    ‘The purpose for the Management Board for the upcoming periods is to accelerate the Company’s growth  by expanding the customers base, product offering and further penetration of existing market and acceleration of geographic expansion into new markets. Moreover, the situation on the financial markets in the 4th Quarter of 2016 has been favorable for us. We have observed high volatility on instruments which are relevant in our revenues structure, such as currency pairs EUR/USD and GBP/USD as well as index CFDs instruments based on DAX, Oil and Gold’ – said Jakub Zabłocki, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Acting President of the Management Board of X-Trade Brokers Dom Maklerski S.A. ‘Implemented changes in the Management Board and the Supervisory Board are strategic and are designed to provide both immediate intensification of development processes as well as the continuity of key operational activities of the Company until these duties are taken over by the newly appointed President of the Management Board. Thanks to this taking over the duties in the Management Board will go smoothly, and the operational activities of XTB will be carried out without any disturbance, “- adds Jakub Zabłocki.

    XTB financial results for the 3rd quarter of 2016

    In the 3rd quarter of 2016 X- Trade Brokers Dom Maklerski recorded PLN 4,24 million of consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company, in comparison to PLN 50,94 million recorded in the same period of 2015. Profit on operating activities amounted to PLN 8,42 million as compared to PLN 60,95 million y/y. Consolidated operating income reached the level of PLN 42,80 million in the 3rd quarter of 2016 as compared to PLN 95,70 million y/y. Cumulatively for the three quarters of 2016 the Group generated the consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company of PLN 27,29 million as compared to PLN 102,53 million y/y. Consolidated operating income for the three quarters reached PLN 156,62 million as compared to PLN 225,19 million y/y.

     
    The 3rd quarter of 2016, analogously to the 2nd quarter, was a period free from the unexpected and extraordinary market events or strong long-term trends. The clearly lower volatility observed in the nine-month period of 2016, in comparison to the same period of the previous year, created fewer investment opportunities to the XTB clients. As a consequence, XTB as well as its competitors with the same business profile, experienced decrease in turnover of financial instruments and hence a drop in the Group revenues.

     
    An important event in the 2016 was Brexit, i.e. voting of Great Britain on possible exit or remaining of the country within the European Union. Thanks to the precautionary actions undertaken by the financial markets, volatility on the markets caused by the referendum did not repeat the scenario from January last year, when excessive market volatility was recorded as a result of an unexpected SNB decision to discontinue the policy of defending the CHF exchange rate. Preparing to the voting, the Group raised minimal deposits on instruments exposed to sharp movements (currency pairs with GBP, European indices). This action was undertaken in order to limit the clients’ exposure to the above mentioned instruments and this goal was achieved.

     
    In spite of the limited market volatility observed during the current year (which resulted in lower average operating income per active account y/y), XTB consequently builds up clients base for future growth. The number of new accounts and average number of active accounts is growing in the subsequent quarters of 2016. In the 3rd quarter of the year the number of new accounts increased by 20% y/y and average number of active accounts increased by 10% y/y. The Management Board believes that increasing number of new and active accounts and a strong brand in combination with more favorably market volatility are solid foundations for future growth.
