Operating Review

The level of activity during the first semester continued along the lines of last year, driven by central bank monetary tightening policy to combat stubborn inflation. Compagnie Financière Tradition maintained its growth momentum, underpinned by its organic growth strategy.

Against this backdrop, the Group's consolidated revenue including the share of joint ventures was up 11.8% at constant exchange rates to CHF 552.4m compared with CHF 525.1m in 2022. Revenue from interdealer broking business (IDB) was up 11.6% at constant exchange rates to CHF 534.0m, while revenue from the online forex trading business for retail investors in Japan (Non-IDB), was ahead 18.7% to CHF 18.4m. Operating profit including the share of joint ventures was CHF 74.0m against CHF 56.0m in H1 2022, up 41.9% at constant exchange rates, for an operating margin of 13.4% and 10.7% respectively.

The Group is active in all the major financial markets and operates in numerous currencies. Its results are therefore affected by movements in the exchange rates used to translate local figures into Swiss francs. In the tables below, variations in activity compared with H1 2022 are presented at constant exchange rates, to give a clearer analysis of underlying performance, as well as at current exchange rates used to prepare the income statement.

Companies jointly controlled with other partners are proportionally consolidated in the Group's management reports, as this allows a more accurate evaluation of their economic performance and key indicators.

This presentation method is used in reporting segment information in the notes to the interim and annual financial statements. The Group's revenue and operating profit are presented below including the share of joint ventures, with a reconciliation to reported figures.
