Half Year 2026 Allfunds Group PLC Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Allfunds Group PLC (FRA:6UY) achieved record AuA of EUR1.9 trillion, driven by strong net inflows of EUR51 billion and favorable market conditions.
- Revenue grew 10% year-on-year (11% excluding NTI), with adjusted EBITDA up 10% and margin stable at 67.8%, reflecting operational leverage.
- The company expanded into high-growth areas like private markets, ETFs, and tokenization, including partnerships with Hamilton Lane, Apex Group, and BBVA Asset Management.
- Alternative solutions AuA surged 54.4% year-on-year to EUR41.4 billion, with over 250 alternative asset managers and 490 distributors on the platform.
- Capital position remained robust with a CET1 ratio of 34%, and EUR120 million was returned to shareholders via dividends.
- The recommended acquisition by Deutsche Borse remains subject to regulatory approvals, with closing expected only in the first half of 2027, creating uncertainty.
- Adjusted expenses increased 8% year-on-year due to inflation, business activity, and technology investments, outpacing some revenue growth.
- Overall platform margin remained flat at 3.4 basis points, with commission revenue margins stable at 2.3 basis points, indicating limited margin expansion.
- The strategic portfolio review led to the sale of WebFG and exit of the ManCo, which may have disrupted some business lines and client relationships.
- Despite growth in alternatives, liquidity events affecting certain alternative funds posed risks, though impact was limited and managed effectively.
