Zug, 17 April 2025 – Multitude AG, a listed European FinTech company offering digital lending and online banking services to consumers, small and medium-sized enterprises, and other FinTechs (WKN: A40VJN, ISIN: CH1398992755) (“Multitude”, “Company” or “Group”) is pleased to announce that the Group's Annual Report, Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 have been published on the Company’s website today. 

Multitude has confirmed its impressive preliminary results for 2024 with the release of its audited 2024 financial statements, marking the fourth year in a row that the Company has outperformed its financial guidance.  

Earnings before interest expense and taxes¹ (EBIT) surged to EUR 67.6 million, up 48.5% from EUR 45.6 million in 2023. This significant growth was underpinned by a 14.4% increase in revenue, which rose to EUR 263.7 million from EUR 230.5 million the previous year. The Company attributed the strong performance to disciplined cost management, solid revenue expansion, and significantly improved underwriting standards. Loans to customers climbed by 12.8% to EUR 649.9 million, up from EUR 575.9 million in 2023. Meanwhile, debt investments saw a sharp rise of 81.2%, reaching EUR 112.6 million by year-end—an increase of EUR 50.5 million—driven largely by the expansion of its Wholesale Banking business unit. Net profit grew substantially by 23.1%, rising to EUR 20.2 million from EUR 16.4 million in 2023.  

Asset Base Expands as Lending Grows 

The Group’s total assets increased by 10.9% year-on-year, rising from EUR 990.9 million in 2023 to EUR 1,098.7 million in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by a continued rise in debt investments and an expanding loan portfolio. Reflecting this expansion, impairment losses on loans to customers increased by 8.0% to EUR 96.4 million, up from EUR 89.3 million in the previous year.  

Total liabilities grew by 12.1% (EUR 97.8 million), from EUR 807.2 million at the end of 2023 to EUR 905.0 million at the end of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a 9.3% rise in customer deposits (EUR 68.5 million), reaching EUR 800.8 million, and a 60.8% increase in issued debt securities (EUR 29.0 million), totaling EUR 76.9 million following new bond issuances by the subsidiary Multitude Capital Oyj. 

The Group maintained a solid capital position, with the net equity ratio standing at a healthy 23.2%, underscoring its disciplined financial management and strong balance sheet. 

Multitude’s 2024 performance highlights its commitment to delivering sustainable growth while optimising risk-adjusted returns for shareholders.
