Leonteq Reports Financial Progress in H1 2025

Leonteq AG has announced its half-year 2025 results, reporting an underlying profit before taxes of CHF 17.1 million, marking a 33% increase compared to the previous year. Total operating income fell by 7% to CHF 124.3 million, mainly due to a decline in net fee income. Nevertheless, the net trading result improved significantly, climbing to CHF 39.5 million, driven by recent market volatility.

The firm's transition to a new regulatory environment has seen strengthened capital ratios, with a CET1 ratio of 14.4% by mid-2025. Leonteq aims for continued financial growth, predicting a 7% annual revenue rise from 2024 to 2027. The company’s "ROE" strategy focuses on resizing, optimizing, and expanding to bolster profits.

Additionally, Eric Finn Schaanning has been appointed as the new Chief Risk Officer, effective October 2025. CEO Christian Spieler remains confident in Leonteq’s direction, emphasizing ongoing changes to enhance profitability and operational efficiency.
