Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Futu Holdings reported strong first quarter 2026 operating growth but sharply lower headline profit after booking a large regulatory-related charge. Total revenues rose 24.7% year-over-year to HK$5,855.99 million, driven by higher brokerage, interest and other income, while gross profit increased 29.4% to HK$5,106.71 million and operating income climbed 31.5% to HK$3,530.16 million with a 60.3% operating margin.

Client metrics were robust: funded accounts grew 34.3% to 3.59 million, total users reached 30.2 million, total client assets rose 47.2% to HK$1.22 trillion, and total trading volume hit a record HK$4.15 trillion. However, net income fell 61.2% to HK$830.99 million and non-GAAP adjusted net income declined 58.5% to HK$919.53 million, after reflecting the accounting impact of an approximately RMB1.85 billion amount referenced in an Administrative Penalty Pre-Notification Letter from the CSRC as an adjusted subsequent event. Before this adjustment, net income for the quarter was approximately HK$2,922.0 million and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately HK$3,010.6 million. The company also continued executing its up to US$800 million share repurchase program, having repurchased about US$418 million of ADSs by late May 2026.

Positive

  • Strong operating and client growth: Q1 2026 revenues rose 24.7% year-over-year to HK$5,855.99 million, gross profit increased 29.4% to HK$5,106.71 million, operating margin expanded to 60.3%, and total client assets and trading volume reached HK$1.22 trillion and a record HK$4.15 trillion, respectively.

Negative

  • Large regulatory-related impact on earnings: Net income declined 61.2% year-over-year to HK$830.99 million after recognizing amounts totaling approximately RMB1.85 billion linked to a CSRC Administrative Penalty Pre-Notification Letter as a subsequent event, versus approximately HK$2,922.0 million net income before this adjustment.

Insights

Futu’s core operations grew strongly, but a large CSRC-related charge sharply reduced reported profit.

Futu delivered solid growth in Q1 2026: revenues rose 24.7% to HK$5,855.99 million, gross profit increased 29.4% to HK$5,106.71 million, and operating income reached HK$3,530.16 million with a 60.3% operating margin. Client assets climbed to HK$1.22 trillion and trading volume hit a record HK$4.15 trillion, showing strong platform engagement.

Despite this, net income dropped 61.2% to HK$830.99 million because the company reflected an amount of approximately RMB1.85 billion linked to an Administrative Penalty Pre-Notification Letter from the CSRC in “Others, net” as an adjusted subsequent event. Management disclosed that, prior to this adjustment, net income was about HK$2,922.0 million and non-GAAP adjusted net income about HK$3,010.6 million.

The proposed penalties described in the Pre-Notification Letter have not yet been finally determined; Futu notes it can submit statements, present defenses and request a hearing. At the same time, it is pursuing international growth initiatives and continues an up to US$800 million ADS repurchase program, having executed roughly US$418 million by late May 2026. Subsequent company filings may further detail the regulatory outcome and any associated financial effects.

Total revenues HK$5,855.99 million Q1 2026, up 24.7% year-over-year
Net income reported HK$830.99 million Q1 2026, down 61.2% year-over-year
Net income before adjustment HK$2,922.0 million Q1 2026, prior to subsequent-event adjustment
Proposed CSRC-related amount RMB1.85 billion Aggregate amount referenced in Pre-Notification Letter
Total client assets HK$1.22 trillion As of March 31, 2026, up 47.2% year-over-year
Total trading volume HK$4.15 trillion Q1 2026, up 29.1% year-over-year
Share repurchase used US$418 million ADS repurchases as of May 27, 2026
Authorized buyback capacity US$800 million ADS repurchase program through December 31, 2027
Administrative Penalty Pre-Notification Letter regulatory
"the Company received an Administrative Penalty Pre-Notification Letter from the China Securities Regulatory Commission Shenzhen Bureau"
non-GAAP adjusted net income financial
"Non-GAAP adjusted net income decreased by 58.5% to HK$919.5 million"
A company’s non-GAAP adjusted net income is its reported profit after management removes certain expenses or gains that it considers one-time, nonrecurring, or not part of core operations (for example, restructuring costs or stock-based pay). Investors watch it as an attempt to show the company’s ongoing earning power — like looking at a cleaned-up weekly budget — but because companies choose what to exclude, it’s important to compare the underlying details rather than the headline number alone.
VATP license regulatory
"PantherTrade, received its VATP license from the Hong Kong SFC to commence full-scale licensed operations"
margin financing and securities lending financial
"Margin financing and securities lending balance increased 44.9% year-over-year to HK$72.9 billion"
Margin financing and securities lending involve borrowing money or securities to buy or lend investments. Investors use borrowed funds to increase their buying power, much like taking a loan to make a larger purchase, which can amplify gains but also increase potential losses. These practices matter because they can boost investment opportunities and risks, affecting overall financial stability and individual returns.
American Depositary Share financial
"Basic net income per American Depositary Share (“ADS”) was HK$6.08"
An American Depositary Share (ADS) is a U.S.-listed certificate that represents a specified number of shares in a foreign company, held by a custodian bank; it works like a receipt that allows U.S. investors to buy and trade foreign equity on American exchanges without dealing with another country’s markets. Investors care because ADSs make foreign stocks easier to access, improve liquidity and settlement in dollars, and can affect dividend payments, voting rights and regulatory oversight compared with buying the underlying foreign shares directly.
share repurchase program financial
"authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$800 million worth of ADSs"
A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Futu Announces First Quarter 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

 

HONG KONG, May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Futu Holdings Limited (“Futu” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FUTU), a leading tech-driven online brokerage and wealth management platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

 

First Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights

 

·Total number of funded accounts1 increased 34.3% year-over-year to 3,590,325 as of March 31, 2026.
·Total number of brokerage accounts2 increased 26.8% year-over-year to 6,284,404 as of March 31, 2026.
·Total number of users3 increased 14.9% year-over-year to 30.2 million as of March 31, 2026.
·Total client assets increased 47.2% year-over-year to HK$1.22 trillion as of March 31, 2026.
·Daily average client assets were HK$1.27 trillion in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 60.8% from the same period in 2025.
·Total trading volume in the first quarter of 2026 increased by 29.1% year-over-year to HK$4.15 trillion, in which trading volume for U.S. stocks was HK$3.00 trillion, and trading volume for Hong Kong stocks was HK$1.01 trillion.
·Margin financing and securities lending balance increased 44.9% year-over-year to HK$72.9 billion as of March 31, 2026.

 

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

 

·Total revenues increased 24.7% year-over-year to HK$5,856.0 million (US$746.9 million).
·Total gross profit increased 29.4% year-over-year to HK$5,106.7 million (US$651.4 million).
·Net income decreased 61.2% year-over-year to HK$831.0 million (US$106.0 million).
·Non-GAAP adjusted net income4 decreased 58.5% year-over-year to HK$919.5 million (US$117.3 million).

 

Mr. Leaf Hua Li, Futu’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the first quarter, we added 225 thousand net new funded accounts, bringing total funded accounts to 3.6 million, up 34.3% year-over-year. Despite market volatility during the quarter, we continue to track toward our full-year guidance of 800 thousand net new funded accounts with confidence. Net new funded account growth was driven by broad-based strength across all markets despite market turbulence.”

 

“Net asset inflow accelerated meaningfully primarily driven by our high-quality client base in Hong Kong and Singapore. Total client assets were HK$1.22 trillion as of quarter end, up 47.2% year-over-year and largely stable quarter-over-quarter, as robust inflow was offset by mark-to-market pressure on clients’ Hong Kong and U.S. equity holdings. Margin financing and securities lending balance rose 7.7% quarter-over-quarter to HK$72.9 billion, reflecting elevated client appetite to add exposure amid market pullbacks.”

 

 

1 The number of funded accounts refers to the number of brokerage accounts with Futu that have a positive account balance. Multiple funded accounts by one client are counted as one funded account.

2 Multiple brokerage accounts by one client are counted as one brokerage account.

3 The number of users refers to the number of user accounts registered with Futu.

4 Non-GAAP adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses.

 

 

 

 

“Total trading volume climbed to a record HK$4.15 trillion, up 29.1% year-over-year and 4.4% quarter-over-quarter, as a rotation in client activity toward Hong Kong equities more than offset softer U.S. stock trading volumes. Hong Kong stock trading volume grew 22.5% quarter-over-quarter to HK$1.0 trillion, driven by continued momentum in China internet, semiconductor and newly listed AI stocks. U.S. stock trading volume was largely stable sequentially at HK$3.00 trillion, with technology stocks remaining key areas of client interest.”

 

“Total client assets in wealth management increased 28.2% year-over-year and largely stable quarter-over-quarter to HK$178.4 billion. During the first quarter, we continued to broaden our product offerings to address evolving client needs. In Hong Kong, we added a space economy-themed mutual fund to our platform and expanded structured product offerings; in Japan, we partnered with Asahi Life to offer an award-winning global equity fund; and in Singapore, we added fund products under the Equity Market Development Programme to broaden clients’ access to local equity exposure.”

 

“As of quarter end, we have cumulatively served 625 IPO distribution and IR clients, up 25.5% year-over-year. During the first quarter, we provided IPO distribution services to a number of prominent Hong Kong listings, including MiniMax, Busy Ming, and Biren Technology.”

 

“In March, our wholly owned virtual asset exchange, PantherTrade, received its VATP license from the Hong Kong SFC to commence full-scale licensed operations, further enriching the Futu ecosystem with a broader spectrum of services and delivering a more seamless, integrated investment experience for our clients.”

 

Mr. Arthur Yu Chen, Futu’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “On May 22, 2026, the Company received an Administrative Penalty Pre-Notification Letter from the China Securities Regulatory Commission Shenzhen Bureau in an aggregate amount of approximately RMB1.85 billion, which has been fully reflected in our first quarter financial statements as an adjusted subsequent event under U.S. GAAP. This amount does not impact our business fundamentals or financial stability. We remain focused on long-term growth across international markets.”

 

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues were HK$5,856.0 million (US$746.9 million), an increase of 24.7% from HK$4,694.6 million in the first quarter of 2025.

 

Brokerage commission and handling charge income was HK$2,641.4 million (US$336.9 million), an increase of 14.3% from the first quarter of 2025. This was mainly due to higher trading volume, partially offset by a decline in blended commission rate.

 

Interest income was HK$2,650.2 million (US$338.0 million), an increase of 28.0% from the first quarter of 2025. The increase was mainly driven by higher interest income from margin financing, bank deposit and securities borrowing and lending business.

 

Other income was HK$564.3 million (US$72.0 million), an increase of 79.8% from the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher currency exchange income, IPO financing service income and fund distribution service income.

 

Costs

 

Total costs were HK$749.3 million (US$95.6 million), largely stable compared to HK$749.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.

 

 

 

 

Brokerage commission and handling charge expenses were HK$164.5 million (US$21.0 million), an increase of 14.6% from the first quarter of 2025. This increase was roughly in line with the growth of our brokerage commission and handling charge income.

 

Interest expenses were HK$414.7 million (US$52.9 million), a decrease of 11.6% from the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower expenses associated with our securities borrowing and lending business.

 

Processing and servicing costs were HK$170.1 million (US$21.7 million), an increase of 25.0% from the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to increasing cloud service fees.

 

Gross Profit

 

Total gross profit was HK$5,106.7 million (US$651.4 million), an increase of 29.4% from HK$3,945.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. Gross margin was 87.2%, as compared to 84.0% in the first quarter of 2025.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses were HK$1,576.5 million (US$201.1 million), an increase of 25.1% from HK$1,260.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.

 

Research and development expenses were HK$478.9 million (US$61.1 million), an increase of 24.1% from the first quarter of 2025. This was primarily due to an increase in research and development headcount to support strategic initiatives and new markets.

 

Selling and marketing expenses were HK$556.8 million (US$71.0 million), an increase of 21.3% from HK$459.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. This was driven by the increase of new funded accounts.

 

General and administrative expenses were HK$540.9 million (US$69.0 million), an increase of 30.3% from the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative personnel to support business development.

 

Income from Operations

 

Income from operations increased by 31.5% to HK$3,530.2 million (US$450.3 million) from HK$2,685.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. Operating margin increased to 60.3% from 57.2% in the first quarter of 2025 mainly due to strong topline growth and operating leverage.

 

Net Income

 

Net income decreased by 61.2% to HK$831.0 million (US$106.0 million) from HK$2,142.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net income margin for the first quarter of 2026 decreased to 14.2% from 45.6% in the year-ago quarter.

 

Non-GAAP adjusted net income decreased by 58.5% to HK$919.5 million (US$117.3 million) from the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. For further information, see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the bottom of this press release.

 

 

 

 

Net Income per ADS

 

Basic net income per American Depositary Share (“ADS”) was HK$6.08 (US$0.78), compared with HK$15.44 in the first quarter of 2025. Diluted net income per ADS was HK$6.00 (US$0.77), compared with HK$15.28 in the first quarter of 2025. Each ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares.

 

Recent Development

 

As previously announced, on May 22, 2026, the Company received a Notice of Investigation and an Administrative Penalty Pre-Notification Letter (the "Pre-Notification Letter") from the China Securities Regulatory Commission and its Shenzhen Bureau (collectively, the “CSRC”). The Pre-Notification Letter proposed penalties on the relevant Futu entities in mainland China and Hong Kong for conducting certain regulated business activities without the requisite licenses or approvals. The proposed penalties comprise (i) confiscation of illegal gains of approximately RMB470 million, and (ii) imposition of fines of approximately RMB1.38 billion, in an aggregate amount of approximately RMB1.85 billion. The unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included in this earnings release have reflected the impact of this subsequent event. These amounts were included in “Others, net” of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

 

Prior to giving effect to this adjustment, the Company’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were approximately HK$2,922.0 million (US$372.7 million), and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately HK$3,010.6 million (US$384.0 million). These amounts exclude the accounting impact of the subsequent event described above, which has been reflected in the unaudited financial statements included in this earnings release. The proposed penalty remains subject to further proceedings and the final determination by the CSRC. The Company is entitled to submit statements, present defenses, and request a hearing. The Company will fully cooperate with the CSRC and exercise its lawful rights to safeguard the legitimate interests of the Company and its shareholders.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

On November 18, 2025, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$800 million worth of ADSs for a period ending December 31, 2027. As of the close of the U.S. market on May 27, 2026, we have repurchased approximately US$418 million worth of ADSs in open market transactions in accordance with the authorization under this share repurchase program. Subject to market conditions, the Company may continue to execute repurchases from time to time under this share repurchase program.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP adjusted net income enables the management to assess the Company's operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance.

 

 

 

 

Non-GAAP adjusted net income is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP adjusted net income is that it does not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted net income. Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

 

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance.

 

For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP and GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.
