SINGAPORE, Dec. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UP Fintech Holding Limited (NASDAQ: TIGR) (“UP Fintech” or the “Company”), a leading online brokerage firm focusing on global investors, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Mr. Wu Tianhua, Chairman and CEO of UP Fintech stated: “The market environment remained supportive in the third quarter. Our total revenues reached US$175.2 million, representing an increase of 73.3% year over year and 26.3% quarter over quarter. Commission income, interest income and other revenue all saw impressive growth both sequentially and year over year, each setting new record highs. By prioritizing user quality and product diversification, we have sustained a high ARPU that underpins our profitability and a healthy business model. As a result, both our GAAP and non-GAAP net income delivered strong growth. Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech was US$53.8 million, up 29.9% quarter over quarter and approximately three times that of the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech reached US$57.0 million, an increase of 28.2% sequentially and 2.8 times the same period last year.

In the third quarter, we added 31,500 new customers with deposits, with Singapore and Hong Kong being the primary contributors, each accounting for roughly 40% of new funded clients. In the first three quarters of 2025, we onboarded over 132,200 new customers with deposits, and as of today, have effectively achieved our annual target of 150,000 new customers with deposits for 2025. By the end of the third quarter, our total number of customers with deposits reached 1,224,200, representing an 18.5% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Asset inflow remained robust, driven primarily by retail investors. Combined with mark-to-market gains, total account balance rose 17.3% quarter over quarter and 49.7% year over year to a record US$61.0 billion. We continued to refine our customer acquisition approach to ensure long-term user quality and are pleased to see the average net asset inflow of newly acquired funded clients reached a record high of over US$32,000 this quarter. Notably, average net asset inflow of new clients in Singapore and Hong Kong was approximately US$62,000 and US$30,000 this quarter, helping client assets in these two regions to grow roughly 20% and 60% quarter-over-quarter. Client assets in other markets also posted healthy double-digit sequential increases.

In the third quarter, we enhanced product breadth and user experience across digital assets and wealth management. In digital assets, we launched digital asset trading in New Zealand, enabling local users to trade spot cryptocurrency on our platform and rolled out macro market insights for digital assets and introduced featured market data, such as coin issuers and on-chain metrics, to help users make better-informed decisions and capture investment opportunities. In wealth management, we significantly expanded Tiger AI’s capabilities. We launched the innovative TradingFront AI function to give advisers a real-time analytical edge. TradingFront AI delivers instant insights on portfolio performance, risk exposure, and asset allocation for each client’s unique portfolio. The tool automatically surfaces market-sensitive updates, macroeconomic outlooks, and actionable recommendations, enabling advisers to respond faster to changing conditions and conduct more informed, personalized client conversations.

In our Corporate business, we underwrote 5 U.S. IPOs in the quarter, all serving as sole bookrunner, including “Yimutian Inc.” and “Linkhome”, and supported multiple digital asset companies in completing U.S. listings and financing deals, including “Bullish Inc.” and “Figure Technology Solutions”. In Hong Kong, we participated in 5 IPOs in the quarter, including “Geek Plus” and “SICC”, and acted as underwriter for “Boss Zhipin” public follow-on offering. In our ESOP business, we added 46 new clients in the third quarter, bringing the total number of ESOP clients served to 709 as of September 30, 2025.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech and non-GAAP net loss or income per ADS - diluted as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We define non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech as net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP net loss or income per ADS - diluted is non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech divided by the weighted average number of diluted ADSs.

We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect our operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to total operating costs and expenses, net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review these historical non-GAAP financial measures in light of the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing our data comparatively. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
