Insights

Equity Capital-Allocation Strategist

Board authorizes a $50 million buyback after a materially stronger Q3 showing; buyback signals surplus cash and confidence.

Amber International shows clear cash-return intent by authorizing a $50 million ADS repurchase program starting December 1, 2025. The company reports Q3 revenue of $16.3 million, gross profit of $11.8 million, and an operating margin swing from -4% to +8%. Management cites funding via operating cash flow and existing cash balances and reserves liquidity for product, RWA, and AI investments.

The key dependencies and risks are explicit. Repurchases depend on market conditions, share price, and regulatory constraints, and the program contains no purchase commitment. Growth metrics cited include Client Assets up 69.8% year-over-year, cumulative KYC'ed clients up 20.4% to 5,116, and Q3 execution and payment trading volumes around $3.1 billion. These figures justify capital return from a fundamentals standpoint but require continued cash generation to sustain buybacks alongside strategic investments.

Watch quarterly cash flow and any disclosures on actual repurchase pace over the next 12 months, plus follow-up reporting of buyback execution, regulatory filings under Rule 10b-18, and updates to operating margin in subsequent quarters. If the company maintains positive operating profitability and cash flow, buybacks likely reinforce share count reduction and signal confidence; if cash flow weakens, the company may curtail the program.

Board Authorization Underscores Confidence in Strong Business Momentum and Financial Position

SINGAPORE, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amber International Holding Limited (Nasdaq: AMBR) ("Amber International," "our," or the "Company"), a global leading digital wealth management platform and operating under the brand name "Amber Premium", today announced its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to USD $50 million of the Company's outstanding American Depositary Shares (ADS) over the next 12 months, commencing December 1, 2025.

The announcement follows the Company's exceptional third-quarter 2025 performance, which demonstrated strong operational momentum across all business segments with revenue of US$16.3 million, gross profit of US$11.8 million, and a significant turnaround in operating profitability from continuing operations from -4% in Q2 to +8% in Q3.

"This share repurchase program reflects our Board's unwavering confidence in Amber Premium's market position and growth trajectory," said Michael Wu, Chairman and CEO of Amber International Holding Limited. "Our Q3 results validate our strategic focus on institutional and high-net-worth clients, with client assets on our platform surging nearly 70% year-over-year and our cumulative KYC'ed user base expanding over 20%. With execution and payment trading volumes totaled approximately US$3.1 billion in Q3 2025, and our operating margin now firmly in positive territory, we believe the market does not fully recognize our business fundamentals or long-term growth potential."

Strong Business Fundamentals Drive Capital Return Initiative

The buyback program is supported by robust business fundamentals:

• Exceptional Growth Metrics: 69.8% year-over-year increase in Client Assets on Platform and 20.4% growth in cumulative KYC'ed institutional and high-net-worth clients, now totaling 5,116.
• Revenue Diversification: Wealth Management Solutions led performance at US$7.5 million in Q3, complemented by strong contributions from Execution Solutions (US$3.2 million), Marketing & Enterprise Solutions (US$4.4 million), and Payment Solutions (US$1.2 million).
• Market Leadership: Serving sophisticated institutional clients across Asia, backed by 8+ years of digital asset expertise.
• Strategic Positioning: First Asia-based public company with tokenized shares available on-chain, pioneering institutional adoption of digital assets across Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, and Dubai.

"We're executing this program from a position of operational and financial strength," Wu continued. "Our diversified revenue streams, institutional-grade infrastructure, and proven ability to capture market share in Asia's rapidly growing digital asset ecosystem position us to both return capital to shareholders and continue investing aggressively in our growth initiatives."

Program Details and Implementation

The company will fund repurchases through operating cash flow and existing cash balances while maintaining ample liquidity for strategic investments in product innovation, RWA initiatives, and AI-powered financial solutions. The timing and amount of repurchases will be determined based on market conditions, share price, and regulatory requirements.

The share repurchase program may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other methods in compliance with applicable securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The program does not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.
