Key Points
- Firm-wide revenue rose 29% year-over-year to $577 million, with strong growth across both wealth management and capital markets.

- Wealth management delivered record client assets of $160 billion, up 28% year-over-year, with positive net inflows across all regions.
- Capital markets revenue increased 30% year-over-year, with advisory revenue up 123% and investment banking up 40%.
- The CRC acquisition has exceeded expectations, and the employee partnership program increased ownership to 15.33% on an as-converted basis, strengthening alignment.
- The firm-wide compensation ratio was elevated at 62% due to share-based payment charges, though it would have been 59.5% excluding this impact.
- UK wealth management pre-tax profit margin declined 1.3 percentage points year-over-year, and revenue growth was modest at 4%.
- Principal trading revenue declined year-over-year due to the divestiture of the US wholesale market-making business.
- The UK capital markets division faces a challenging new issue market, with the UK ranking 22nd in IPO activity, limiting growth prospects.
- Australian advisory revenue included a large one-off fee, which is not expected to recur, and the pace of mining financing activity may moderate.
