Mr. Leaf Hua Li, Futu’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In 2023, we added over 220 thousand paying clients, bringing the total number of paying clients to 1.7 million, up 15.0% year-over-year. We acquired over 59 thousand paying clients in the fourth quarter, down 8.6% quarter-over-quarter. In Hong Kong, client acquisition trended down due to sluggish Hong Kong stock market performance. In Singapore, client acquisition sustained the momentum in the third quarter as clients continued to demonstrate heightened interest in money market funds. Our efforts to reduce friction in the account opening process, combined with targeted marketing, led to an increase in client acquisition in Japan towards year-end, which further accelerated in the first quarter owing to the Japan stock market's exceptional performance. We officially launched our brokerage business in Malaysia on February 26th, 2024. Leveraging the high brand awareness we garnered in the region through our rapid share gain in Singapore, we added over 30,000 clients within just one week of official launch, the fastest growth we have seen in any new market. Overall, we saw strong paying client growth across all markets in the first quarter as U.S. equities continued to post new highs and sentiments around Chinese equities rebounded. We are confident about client acquisition in 2024 and are guiding for 350 thousand net new paying clients.”
“Total client assets increased by 16.3% year-over-year and 3.7% quarter-over-quarter to HK$485.6 billion, driven by robust net asset inflow across all regions and market appreciation of our clients’ U.S. stock holdings. Notably, client assets in Singapore grew 25% sequentially as we continued to attract higher quality clients with our richer product portfolio and growing brand awareness. Margin financing and securities lending balance increased by 2.1%.”
“Total trading volume decreased by 12.2% quarter-over-quarter to HK$956.6 billion. Hong Kong stock trading volume fell by 12.8% sequentially to HK$237.7 billion against weak market performance. U.S. stock trading volume declined by 12.4% quarter-over-quarter to HK$704.6 billion due to lower turnover of the key U.S. technology names, partially offset by resilient trading turnover of leveraged and inverse ETFs.”
“Wealth management asset balance was HK$57.6 billion, up 82.3% year-over-year and 10.9% quarter-over-quarter. Clients’ bond holdings jumped by over 60% sequentially given robust demand for U.S. Treasury bills. In Hong Kong, we enriched our structured note offerings for professional investors. In Singapore, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Fullerton Fund Management for its SGD-denominated money market fund, the first and only SGD T+0 money market fund for retail investors in Singapore.”
“We had 414 IPO distribution and IR clients as of quarter end, up 24.3% year-over-year. We underwrote 37 Hong Kong IPOs in 2023 and ranked first among all brokers, according to Wind. In the quarter, we acted as joint bookrunners for several high-profile HK IPOs, including those of J&T Express and UBTech.”
Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues were HK$2,373.3 million (US$303.8 million), an increase of 4.1% from HK$2,280.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Brokerage commission and handling charge income was HK$904.0 million (US$115.7 million), a decrease of 13.8% from the fourth quarter of 2022. This was mainly due to lower trading volume.
Interest income was HK$1,331.9 million (US$170.5 million), an increase of 17.1% from the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly driven by higher interest income from bank deposits and higher margin financing income due to an increase in daily average margin balance.
Other income was HK$137.3 million (US$17.6 million), an increase of 45.6% from the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to higher fund distribution service income.
Costs
Total costs were HK$433.5 million (US$55.5 million), an increase of 26.7% from HK$342.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Brokerage commission and handling charge expenses were HK$59.2 million (US$7.6 million), a decrease of 7.5% from the fourth quarter of 2022. This decline was roughly in line with the decrease of our brokerage commission and handling charge income.
Interest expenses were HK$270.8 million (US$34.7 million), an increase of 48.8% from the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses associated with our securities borrowing and lending business and higher margin financing interest expenses.
Processing and servicing costs were HK$103.5 million (US$13.3 million), an increase of 7.6% from the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher cloud service fee for new markets and higher system usage fee.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit was HK$1,939.8 million (US$248.3 million), an increase of 0.1% from HK$1,938.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross margin was 81.7%, as compared to 85.0% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Research and development expenses were HK$363.1 million (US$46.5 million), an increase of 8.6% from the fourth quarter of 2022. This was primarily due to an increase in research and development headcount to support new product offerings in new markets, though the magnitude of the headcount growth decelerated throughout 2023.
Selling and marketing expenses were HK$182.5 million (US$23.4 million), an increase of 19.2% from HK$153.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. This was driven by a 41% year-over-year increase in net new paying clients, offset by lower client acquisition costs.
General and administrative expenses were HK$370.4 million (US$47.4 million), an increase of 12.1% from the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative personnel, partially offset by lower professional service fees.

Brokerage commission and handling charge income was HK$3,944.8 million (US$505.0 million), a decrease of 1.6% from HK$4,007.6 million in 2022. This was mainly due to lower trading volume, largely offset by higher blended commission rate.
Interest income was HK$5,536.4 million (US$708.8 million), an increase of 72.2% from HK$3,214.3 million in 2022. The increase in interest income was mainly driven by higher interest income from bank deposits and securities borrowing and lending business.

Brokerage commission and handling charge expenses were HK$249.6 million (US$32.0 million), a decrease of 24.3% from HK$329.8 million in 2022. This was attributable to lower trading volume and cost savings from our U.S. self-clearing business.
Interest expenses were HK$910.8 million (US$116.6 million), an increase of 211.4% from HK$292.5 million in 2022. The increase was mainly driven by higher expenses associated with our securities borrowing and lending business.

Research and development expenses were HK$1,440.9 million (US$184.5 million), an increase of 17.9% from HK$1,222.1 million in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in research and development headcount.
Selling and marketing expenses were HK$710.3 million (US$90.9 million), a decrease of 20.7% from HK$895.8 million in 2022. The decrease was mainly due to slower paying client growth and lower customer acquisition costs.
General and administrative expenses were HK$1,313.5 million (US$168.2 million), an increase of 41.1% from HK$931.1 million in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount for general and administrative personnel, especially in new markets.
Income from Operations
Income from operations increased by 40.3% to HK$5,007.5 million (US$641.1 million) from HK$3,568.9 million in 2022. Operating margin increased to 50.0% from 46.9% in 2022 primarily due to strong topline growth and operating leverage.
Net Income
Net income increased by 46.2% to HK$4,278.9 million (US$547.8 million) from HK$2,926.9 million in 2022.

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 are 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.
