Net profit for the quarter was estimated at PLN 535 million, up 176%
year-on-year. Operating income reached PLN 1.09 billion, an increase of 88.5%
compared with the same period last year.
The financial results came alongside an expansion of XTB’s sports
sponsorship portfolio. Last week, it
became Global Trading Partner of SSC Napoli, adding the Italian club to its
wider presence across football, MMA, basketball, tennis and boxing.
The company’s partnerships include KSW
in Poland and OKTAGON in Central Europe, alongside ambassadors such as
Zlatan Ibrahimović, Iker
Casillas and Conor McGregor. In December 2025, XTB
also signed a global partnership with FIBA through 2027, covering the 2026
and 2027 Basketball World Cups.
Client growth also accelerated during the quarter. XTB reported 370,000
new clients, up 90% year-on-year. The total number of active clients rose to
1.27 million, a 72% annual increase.
Client assets stood at PLN 49.6 billion at the end of the period, with
equities accounting for more than PLN 17.6 billion and ETFs over PLN 15.2
billion. The firm described the period as its strongest quarter to date, saying it
“kicked off 2026 with record-breaking growth”.
XTB
Faces Fine for MiFID Breaches
In a separate development, XTB also faced a regulatory penalty in Poland
related to its conduct in retail derivatives markets.
The Polish Financial Supervision Authority has
fined XTB SA PLN 20 million for breaches of MiFID II and investor protection
rules. The decision, issued in March this year, follows findings that the
firm failed to properly assess client knowledge, define target markets and
provide adequate disclosure of risks linked to Contracts for Difference.
The
regulator said the case highlighted deficiencies in suitability checks and risk
communication for complex financial instruments, which are subject to strict
requirements under EU and Polish rules.
