SINGAPORE, March 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UP Fintech Holding Limited (NASDAQ: TIGR) (“UP Fintech” or the “Company”), a leading online brokerage firm focusing on global investors, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Mr. Wu Tianhua, Chairman and CEO of UP Fintech stated: “In 2023, our topline mix benefited from our strategy execution on internationalization and the high interest rate environment. Total revenue in the fourth quarter was US$70.0 million, representing a 9.6% increase compared to the same quarter of last year. The full year total revenue amounted to US$272.5 million, a 20.9% increase from 2022. In 2023, we saw significant improvement in bottom line. Full year net income attributable to UP Fintech reached US$32.6 million, compared to a net loss of US$2.2 million in 2022. Our non-GAAP full-year net income attributable to UP Fintech was US$42.7 million, approximately 3.4 times the non-GAAP full-year net income of 2022.
In the fourth quarter, we added 39,034 new funded accounts, an increase of 58.6% quarter over quarter and 42.8% year over year, bringing our yearly total to 123,110, exceeding our yearly guidance of 100,000. The total number of funded accounts at the end of 2023 reached 904,600, a 15.8% increase compared to 2022 year-end. By leveraging our strong presence in the Singapore retail market and exploring online customer acquisition initiatives in the Southeast Asian regions, we achieved high growth in new funded accounts this quarter while further reducing the average customer acquisition cost (“CAC”) to US$150. Furthermore, we saw record US$8.2 billion net asset inflow this quarter, combined with US$3.5 billion mark to market gain, total account balance rose 62.1% quarter over quarter and 118.5% year over year to US$30.6 billion by the end of 2023. The record net asset inflow this quarter was primarily due to our continuous effort to serve and acquire more institutional investors.
We continued to add new products on our platform to enhance user experience, which we believe is key to our long-term success. In the fourth quarter, we introduced the Combo Option Strategy feature, allowing users to execute multi-leg options trades using net margin calculation. Additionally, we launched the Fixed Coupon Notes (“FCNs”) product, offering professional investors a more diversified wealth management experience. Furthermore, in January of 2024, Hong Kong SFC uplifted our Type 1 License, now we can offer Virtual Asset dealing services to Professional Investors. This positions us as one of the first mainstream online brokerage firms in Hong Kong to receive approval for such a license upgrade.
In our Corporate business, we underwrote a total of 9 U.S. and Hong Kong IPOs in the fourth quarter, including “Shiyue Daotian Group” and “J&T Express”, bringing the total number of U.S. and Hong Kong IPOs underwritten for the year to 28. In our ESOP business, we added 30 new clients in the fourth quarter, bringing the total number of ESOP clients served to 535 as of December 31, 2023.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech and non-GAAP net loss or income per ADS - diluted as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We define non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech as net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech excluding share-based compensation and impairment loss from long-term investments. Non-GAAP net loss or income per ADS - diluted is non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech divided by the weighted average number of diluted ADSs.
We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation and impairment loss from long-term investments. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect our operations. Share-based compensation and impairment loss from long-term investments have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to total operating expenses, net loss or income attributable to ordinary shareholders of UP Fintech or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review these historical non-GAAP financial measures in light of the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing our data comparatively. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
