Equiti UK Sees A Solid Revenue Jump

According to the latest Companies House filing, the sales cost of the UK entity increased significantly with the revenue. The revenue was reported as $18.05 million, compared to $12.11 million the previous year.

“Both increments are attributed to increased swap fees, which rose in the second half of 2022 in line with the increase in market interest rates,” the filing stated. “The continued growth of the Company necessitated moving to large premises, and a significant investment has been made in a new lease, securing facilities to support the expanding team.”

Higher Expenses

Indeed, the administrative expense of the company also pushed higher to $19.9 million from $16.6 million in the previous year. With this, its operating profit was detailed as $1.52 million, which plummeted from $3.7 million.

After considering finance income and costs, the pre-tax profit of the UK company was reported as $1.82 million, declining from $3.74 million in the previous year. Following taxes, it netted a bit more than $1.61 million.

In 2021, the profits of Equiti UK doubled as the company managed to keep its administrative expenses low. The latest net profits of the company also declined from the figures it posted in 2020. However, the pre-tax profits came in higher.
