Marex posted strong financial results for the full year 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Revenue increased 75% to $1.245 billion, while pretax profit jumped 44% to $141 million. The group recorded a 12% growth in revenue for the three months ended March 2024 and a surge of 141% month-on-month in pretax profit. The group has attributed this impressive growth to product and geographical expansion.

Geographical Expansion Pays Off

Ian Lowitt, the Group Chief Executive Officer, mentioned: "2023 was another exceptional year where we transformed the scale and scope of the firm and maintained our record of delivering sequential growth over each of the last nine years, with an Adjusted Operating Profit compound annual growth rate of 34%. We continued to deliver on our strategy to expand our capabilities and our geographic reach, providing our growing client base with essential market connectivity , liquidity, and hedging solutions."

"We also delivered a strong performance in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the strength and scalability of the diversified global platform we have built. We are pleased to report profit at the top end of the range of the preliminary results in our IPO registration statement and significantly higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. We are delighted to have successfully launched our IPO in April and are grateful for the strong investor engagement and support. As we look to the second quarter, we have seen continued positive momentum."

Marex's business growth and selective acquisitions, including the integration of the ED&F Man Capital Markets division and the acquisition of Cowen's prime broking business, boosted the group's financial results.
