President’s Letter
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
On behalf of the entire Management Board, I am pleased
to present to you the report summarising the activities of
XTB S.A. Capital Group in the year under review. We will
remember the past year as a period full of challenges and
seized opportunities, which allowed us to share such
good results with you today, both operationally and
financially.
We acquired a record 312 thousand new clients in the
year under review. The number of active clients
increased by 51% y/y to almost 409 thousand. Last year's
financial results were also record breaking, with
consolidated revenues increasing by 10% y/y to almost
PLN 1,6 billion. We also recorded an increase in
consolidated net profit, which rose to PLN 791 million,
compared to PLN 766 million in the previous year. We see
the increase in operating expenses to PLN 694 million,
compared to PLN 559 million in the corresponding period
of the previous year, as a natural consequence of such
a dynamic growth of our business. In the coming years,
our priority remains to further expand our client base
and strengthen XTB's position as a global brand.
Our aim is to gain the trust of all our shareholders and to
meet the needs of clients looking for a comprehensive
investment solution. To achieve this, last year we
expanded our offer with investment plans that allow you
to intelligently invest your funds from as little as PLN 50.
From April 2023, we will allow our clients to invest in
company shares and ETFs in selected European and non-
European markets at a fraction of the price, giving them
more flexibility and control over their investments. But
this is only part of our ambitious plan, which we are
implementing in stages. As we expand our portfolio, we
are also looking at the fundamentals of our organisation
– working to improve the quality of client service and
optimise internal processes, ultimately resulting in
increased efficiency and shareholder value for XTB.
I would like to take this opportunity to draw your
attention to a number of important developments that
took place in 2023. One of them is the establishment of
a strategic cooperation with the Association of Individual
Investors in order to jointly raise the standards of the
financial market in Poland. This cooperation should lead
to the appointment of an ombudsman responsible for
protecting investors' rights. The past year has also
brought many awards and distinctions. I am pleased to
recall our success in the Invest Cuffs competition, where
we received two commendations and four awards in
various categories. In turn, the decision of the chapter of
the "Bulls and Bears" competition organised by Gazeta
Giełdy i Inwestyorów Parkiet, we were awarded the title
of "Company of the Year mWIG40". Last year also
brought us the title of "Hero of the Capital Market" in the
"Brokerage House of the Year 2022" category, and we
were highly rated by investors in the annual survey
conducted by the Association of Individual Investors – we
were the only brokerage house to receive a set of top
marks in the "Investment Opportunities" category.
One of the cornerstones of our activities has always been
financial education. In 2023, we were honoured to be
a partner of the 1st edition of the National Stock
Exchange Competition "Young Investor". The initiative
brought together almost 600 secondary school students
from all over Poland. For the eighth time, we organised
the XTB Investing Masterclass – the largest free online
conference for investors. The event featured seven
lectures and six debates with 22 experts on investing,
geopolitics and artificial intelligence (AI). Around 10 000
users participated in the conference.
However, none of this would be possible without the
commitment of our employees. Our aim is to make the
XTB Group a pleasant and stimulating place to work for
them for many years to come. One of the ways in which
we try to attract new talent is through the 6th edition of
the IT Academy internship programme, which was very
well received and gave participants the opportunity to
develop their skills in various technologies. I was all the
more pleased to learn that we were ranked 4th in the
category of financial companies and 26th overall in the
"50 Best Employers in Poland" ranking by the Wprost
newspaper. Once again, our efforts to create a good
working environment in a culture of mutual respect and
support for diversity have been recognised. This is also
confirmed by the results of our internal satisfaction
