Admiral Markets - Annual Financial Report

Admirals Group AS audited annual report 2021

2021 was the most successful for Admirals in terms of new client applications

As another success story for Admirals performance in 2021, our ongoing substantial investment in development and IT, as well as our expansion into new regions and strategic services added to the portfolio, has allowed for a wider customer base to enter the financial world.

The extreme volatility of 2020 laid a solid foundation for future trading and investment practices among millions of people around the world, and this can clearly be seen in today's ever-growing trading volumes. 2020 was an extreme year for the financial sector relative to the comparatively moderate trading landscape of 2019, reflecting real trends.

“We have kept our costs at 2020’s level while making significant investments in IT-development and infrastructure. We introduced a wide range of new services and products in our portfolio, keeping pace with customer interest in cryptocurrency. These steps, and more, have increased our global presence in the FinTech sector,” said Sergei Bogatenkov, CEO of Admirals.

“With the support of our strategic vision, we are definitely one of the main trendsetters in our segment today. Our position as a quality leader is confirmed by several global awards," added Bogatenkov.

According to him, the results of 2021 are a good growth platform for fulfilling the group's long-term goal - to provide financial freedom to 10 million people globally by 2030. "This is an ambitious plan, but our activities and achievements in recent years clearly show that we are on the right path,” confirmed Admiral's CEO.

Trading levels normalized to record volumes in 2020. The Group's revenue was 37 million euros, compared to 66 million euros in the same period in 2020. The number of new applications increased by 32% compared to 2020.  The Group's net profit for the year ended was 0,9 million euros (2020: 20,3 million euros).

A key point of the past year’s performance is our continued contribution to cultural and educational life. For Admirals, financial literacy is one of the cornerstones of their long-term vision, leading to a variety of educational and mentoring programs. Eesti Kontsert and their strategic partner kood.tech in Jõhvi, stand for the sustainability of Estonian culture and programming education.

According to Sergei Bogatenkov, the company has experienced success in its journey to become a financial centre: "And our excellent performance during turbulent times, producing unique results and, most importantly, seeing the relevance of our vision, long-term goals, and strategic plan was undeniable. I am grateful to our global team, partners and investors, with whom we will continue to shake up the financial world and stand up for an innovative, unified, and personal experience in finance.”
