Amber International Holding Limited Reports Third Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results and Announces Share Repurchase Program

PR Newswire

– Enhanced operational profitability with continuous substantial growth in revenue and gross profit –

US$50 million share repurchase program reflects Company’s confidence in Amber International’s business momentum and long-term growth trajectory –


SINGAPORE
, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amber International Holding Limited (Nasdaq: AMBR) (“Amber International”, “we,” “us,” or the “Company”), a global leading digital wealth management platform, today announced unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and approval from its board of directors of a share repurchase program with an aggregate value of up to US$50.0 million.


Michael Wu, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Amber International, commented,
“We delivered another profitable quarter, as we intensified our focus on high-quality, higher-margin revenue streams and achieved a significant enhancement in operating profit margin from continuing operations—from –4% in the previous quarter to +8% in Q3. These results are a testament to our disciplined execution and strengthened operating leverage, which together underpin our trajectory toward sustainable and profitable growth. This progress is further evidenced by quarterly revenue of US$16.3 million, net income from continuing operations of US$2.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of US$2.9 million.

We also continued to build for long-term scalability—advancing AI integration across our internal processes, enhancing productivity, and accelerating the development of our standardized Real World Asset (“RWA”) platform to meet rising institutional demand. With our disciplined focus, we are well positioned to extend our profitability and capture new opportunities across digital wealth, tokenization, and AI-driven financial infrastructure.

Following our strong results, we are pleased to authorize a share repurchase program, reflecting our confidence in the strength and scalability of Amber’s core digital wealth management business and ability to generate sustainable cash flows.”


Vicky Wang, President of Amber International, added,
“This quarter, we further deepened our focus on high-net-worth, ultra-high-net-worth, and institutional clients, while accelerating initiatives in infrastructure, product innovation, and operational discipline. We intentionally focused on improving revenue quality and expanding higher-margin product offerings, which contributed meaningfully to margin expansion. Client assets on our platform grew 69.8% year-over-year to US$1.84 billion, accompanied by significant growth in trading volumes—clear indicators of enhanced client engagement and the durability of our diversified revenue streams. Looking ahead, we remain committed to delivering private banking-grade services and product sophistication to elevate revenue quality, scalability, and long-term defensibility, positioning us for continued sustainable growth.”

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Total Revenue: Reached US$16.3 million in the third quarter of 2025.
  • Wealth Management Solutions Revenue: Reached US$7.5 million in the third quarter of 2025.
  • Gross Profit: Reached US$11.8 million in the third quarter of 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations:
    US$2.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, versus a US$1.8 million loss in the same period of 2024.
  • Client Assets on Platform[1]: Increased to US$1,842.4 million as of September 30, 2025, up 69.8% from September 30, 2024.
  • Cumulative KYC’ed Users[2]: Reached 5,116 as of September 30, 2025, up 20.4% from September 30, 2024.


[1] Client Assets on Platform is defined as the total U.S. dollar equivalent value of client assets as of a specific date.

The Company does not offer or provide any services to registered users who have not successfully completed the Know Your Customer identity verification process.

Business Developments and Strategic Updates

In the third quarter of 2025, Amber International delivered strong operational and financial performance while executing on key strategic initiatives to expand its addressable market.

High-Quality Revenue Mix and Margin Expansion: During the quarter, management continued its deliberate focus on high-quality and high-margin revenue streams. The Company allocated resources to more profitable product lines, leading to a meaningful improvement in operating profit margin from continuing operations from –4% in Q2 2025 to +8% in Q3 2025. Growth was broad-based across execution solutions and payment solutions, reflecting both improved revenue quality and deepening client demand for our integrated platform. The Company will enhance execution capabilities and expand product offerings to meet diverse client profiles. This includes broadening the structured product suite, developing digital-asset inheritance solutions for family offices and UHNW clients, and optimizing pricing models and OTC workflows for competitive execution and timely market access.

Strengthening Client Metrics: Client assets on platform reached US$1.84 billion, up 69.8% year-over-year, reflecting accelerating institutional adoption. Cumulative KYC’ed users grew to 5,116 (+20.4% YoY), active clients increased to 1,045 (+11.8% YoY), and trading volumes expanded significantly with execution trading volume up 36.1% YoY and payment trading volume up 69.9% YoY. Strong net new asset inflows and stronger client allocations,  together with a significant increase in trading volumes clearly demonstrates that clients are not only remaining with the Company, but are also deepening their engagement across multiple product lines, even amidst ongoing market volatility.

AI Integration to Drive Efficiency and Scalable Growth: The Company continues to advance its AI roadmap, deepening the integration of AI-driven tools across internal workflows and client-facing platforms. Work With MIA and Perplexity-powered automation improved operational efficiency and decision-support capability, laying the foundation for enhanced scalability and long-term margin expansion.

RWA Solution Launch: In September 2025, Amber Premium launched its full-stack Real World Asset (RWA) Solution—a comprehensive, turnkey platform designed to bring traditional assets onto the blockchain with institutional regulatory alignment. The solution encompasses structuring, regulatory-compliant custody, smart contract automation, cross-chain interoperability, and bank-grade security, supporting the entire lifecycle of tokenized assets from distribution to liquidity management and yield farming.

Expansion of Digital Assets Treasury Services: The Company expanded its Digital Assets Treasury services to better serve publicly listed companies and corporations seeking institutional-grade digital-asset management. The Company offers a one-stop platform for RWA including consulting, trade execution, financing, custody, and compliance support, addressing the critical gap between corporate digital asset acquisition and effective treasury management.

Share Repurchase Program

Following the Company’s achievement of operating profitability and in recognition of its strong financial position, the Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to US$50 million of the Company’s ADSs over the next 12 months, starting from December 1, 2025. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its ADSs from time to time through open market transactions at prevailing market prices, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or any combination thereof. The Company will effect repurchase transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 as applicable under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its insider trading policy. The number of ADSs repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, share price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with the Company’s working capital requirements and general business conditions. The Company’s Board of Directors will review the share repurchase program periodically, and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. The Company plans to fund the repurchases from a combination of its cash balance and cash generated from its operations, and does not expect the repurchase program to adversely affect its existing business strategies.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Summary

On March 12, 2025, iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited (“iClick”) completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Amber DWM Holding Limited (“Amber DWM”)[3]. The Merger is accounted for as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Merger is treated as the equivalent of Amber DWM issuing shares for the acquisition of iClick, accompanied by a recapitalization, for accounting purposes. The financial results of iClick have been included in our consolidated financial results since March 12, 2025.


[3] In connection with the Merger, we entered into intercompany services agreements with certain wholly owned subsidiaries of our parent, Amber Group. These agreements would afford us with substantially the same economic benefits as the transactions contemplated under the merger agreement signed in connection with the Merger, pending certain regulatory approvals for DWM Asset Restructuring contemplated under the merger agreement. This includes our entitlement to 100% of the consolidated net income generated from certain contracts associated with WhaleFin Technologies Limited (“WFTL”) (the “WFTL Assigned Contracts”) effective from January 1, 2025. Therefore, our results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 have included the net income from WFTL Assigned Contracts, which was not reflected in our results for the corresponding periods in 2024.

The Company optimizes our business to drive returns to the shareholders through proactive monitoring our operations and market trends. As of the end of third quarter of 2025, certain operations under iClick were classified as held-for-sale, and we completed one of the disposals in October 2025.

On October 28, 2025, the WFTL Assigned Contracts were assumed by AG Global Technology Limited Inc., which is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Amber Group and an affiliate of the Company, and Amber Match Limited, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into intercompany services agreement with AG Global Technology Limited Inc. to replace its previous agreement with WFTL on substantially the same terms.

The following table sets forth the key financial metrics of the Company for the periods indicated.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was US$16.3 million, a 1,934.6% increase year-over-year, primarily driven by WFTL Assigned Contracts which was assigned to us starting from January 1, 2025, and to a lesser extent, due to the significant growth in Amber Premium Business, along with contributions from Marketing and Enterprise Solutions following the Merger:

1) Revenue from Wealth Management Solutions was US$7.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, a significant increase from US$0.5 million in the same period of 2024. It was achieved by stronger adoption of wealth management offerings, which were supported by the WFTL Assigned Contracts, as well as increased demand on our diverse investment products and services such as new accumulator/decumulator products launched in the fourth quarter of 2024.

2) Revenue from Execution Solutions grew to US$3.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to US$0.1 million in the same period of 2024. The growth was driven by revenue generated from the WFTL Assigned Contracts, together with higher average fee rate and spread in this quarter.

3) Revenue from Payment Solutions was US$1.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, increased from US$0.1 million for the same period of 2024, mainly contributed by the WFTL Assigned Contracts.

4) Marketing and Enterprise Solutions revenue was US$4.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, generated from online marketing, SaaS products and services under iClick’s operations after the Merger.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2025 reached US$11.8 million, compared to US$0.4 million in the same period of 2024. Gross profit margin demonstrated an upward trend to 72.3% in the third quarter of 2025, from 44.7% in the third quarter of 2024. These changes were mainly fueled by the WFTL Assigned Contracts starting from January 1, 2025, as well as accelerated growth of our core Amber Premium business, and higher margin of marketing and enterprise solutions.

Total operating expenses were US$10.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, increased from US$2.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The change was primarily due to the increase of personnel expenses, technology and development expenses, and legal and other professional service fees to support our ongoing business expansion.

Operating income was US$1.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, achieved a turnaround from US$1.8 million operating loss in the third quarter of 2024, driven by the significant increase in gross profit and strengthened operating leverage.

Other gains, net was US$0.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to US$0.9 million in the third quarter of 2024. Other gains, net in the third quarter of 2024 were mainly driven by unrealized gain in fair value of digital assets in connection with a related party’s loan, which was subsequently waived prior to the Merger.

Net income from continuing operations was US$2.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to net loss from continuing operations of US$0.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, as a result of the foregoing.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income from continuing operations were US$2.9 million and US$2.7 million, respectively in the third quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted EBITDA, a loss at US$1.8 million and adjusted net loss at US$1.8 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Net loss from discontinued operations was US$1.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, related to the financial results of certain operations under iClick that were held-for-sale as of quarter end.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and restricted cash of US$39.9 million, compared to US$9.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations, and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations per ADS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating the Company’s operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations, and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations per ADS help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses and gains that the Company includes in net income/(loss). The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations provide useful information about the Company’s operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects, assess operating performance on a consistent basis, and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations, and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations per ADS should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income/(loss) or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations, and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations per ADS presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press release.

These non-GAAP financial measures were presented with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures together for facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of operating performance between periods.

A Phase 1/2 clinical trial, CELC-G-201, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, is ongoing.

Beyond the Buzzword: HP Uncovers What Really Drives Productivity in Canadian Businesses

Canada NewsWire

News Highlights

  • Productive but not fulfilled: 94% of Canadian business leaders say their companies are productive, yet only 54% describe them as very productive
  • Talk vs. action: 49% of business leaders say productivity feels like just a buzzword with more than half (52%) of leaders admitting it is often discussed but not backed by meaningful change
  • AI advantage: 72% of leaders believe productivity would rise with more role-relevant AI tools


MISSISSAUGA, ON 
, Nov. 26, 2025 /CNW/ – HP Canada Co., a subsidiary of HP Inc., conducted a survey of 501 Canadian business leaders to examine measures of productivity. The findings, which come just as many Canadians are relocating back to the office, indicate a shift from measuring desk time to focusing on outcomes, with an increased interest in secure AI‑enabled technology to help Canadians work smarter, faster and more creatively, wherever work happens.

Rebuilding productivity for the hybrid era

As Canadian organizations increase in-office days, business leaders are rethinking what successful productivity should look like in a hybrid world. The survey found that while 94% consider their organizations productive, only 54% say they are very productive. This gap prompts many to redefine how success is measured, as just 38% of executives measure productivity by traditional activity‑based metrics such as hours logged. A growing majority now prioritize metrics about customer satisfaction (52%), efficiency (47%) and employee satisfaction (45%) as the new tier of indicators of performance and impact.

Yet the findings suggest that hybrid work models still face friction. While 9 in 10 (94%) of Canadian business leaders consider their companies to be productive, 49% of business leaders say productivity feels like just a buzzword. More than half (52%) say that productivity is often discussed but seldom supported by real change and 46% feel burned out by the constant pressure to be more productive – signaling a significant opportunity for solutions that helps employees refocus their time and energy on higher-value, creative work as they readjust to new routines.

“With more Canadian workplaces transitioning back to the office, they are at a turning point to ensure the shift translates into measurable progress,” said Michelle Biase, President and Managing Director of HP Canada. “There’s a big difference between being busy and being productive and having access to appropriate technology empowers teams to achieve more with increased efficiency. Our research shows 72% of leaders believe that productivity would improve with the adoption of more role-relevant AI tools underscoring the untapped opportunity for organizations to enable meaningful work and outcomes critical to employee and business success.”

AI and the future of work

While most companies see technology as a productivity enabler, not all are using it to its full potential with 55% saying their company is behind when it comes to adopting modern technology and innovation. Although 89% of leaders say their company provides the tools employees need to be productive, over half (54%) remain uncertain about its impact revealing an opportunity to build both confidence and capability. Among organizations already leveraging AI, 92% say it helps save time – time that when redirected effectively, can fuel collaboration, innovation and growth across hybrid teams.

Equipping teams to be future ready

As hybrid work stabilizes and office attendance increases, Canadian business leaders face a crucial choice: rebuild productivity through policy alone, or pair it with the technology that helps people thrive. For leaders, that starts with small practical steps including:

  • Elevate performance and optimize workflow: Power productivity by leveraging AI to streamline daily tasks and operations. HP’s Next Gen AI PCs are designed to help teams automate routine work, discover new information, summarize data and analyze insights whether on the cloud or locally on device transforming everyday work into impactful results.
  • Personalize technology to roles: Equip teams with devices and solutions that align to their day-to-day needs in order to maximize time and output.
  • Enhance connection and collaboration from anywhere: Integrate AI-enhanced visual and audio to improve hybrid meetings, ensuring employees can participate effectively with fewer distractions including in a full and amplified office environment.
  • Strengthen security and trust: Partner with trusted brands to securely integrate technology or streamline IT management in the workplace, prioritizing tools and solutions with built-in protection to safeguard data and maintain confidence among teams and clients.

We expect the momentum to continue, delivering strong Adjusted EBITDA growth in fiscal 2026.”

“This progress strengthens our position as a growing, sustainable, and digitally focused organization—one that is well positioned to capture long-term value and lead the next chapter of our digital transformation,” Mowbray added.

The Company has $455 million of debt outstanding under our Credit Agreement(6) with BH Finance. The financing has favorable terms including a 25-year maturity, a fixed annual interest rate of 9.0%, no fixed principal payments, and no financial performance covenants.

As of and for the period ended September 28, 2025:

  • The principal amount of debt totaled $455 million.
  • As a result of the cyber event and in an effort to provide short-term liquidity, the Company’s sole lender, BH Finance, waived payment of the Company’s March 2025, April 2025 and May 2025 interest and basic rent payments. Waived interest and basic rent payments were added to the principal amount due under the Credit Agreement.

  • Cash on the balance sheet totaled $10 million. Debt, net of cash on the balance sheet, totaled $445 million.
  • Capital expenditures totaled $1 million for the quarter and $4 million for the year. We expect up to $10 million of capital expenditures in FY26.
  • For fiscal year 2025, cash paid for income taxes totaled $3 million. We expect cash paid for income taxes to total between $1 million and $6 million in FY26.
  • We made no pension contributions in the fiscal year.
  • The Company is executing a strategic termination of our fully funded benefit pension plan, eliminating the long-term volatility tied to interest rate movement, mortality assumptions and asset performance, while preserving participant benefits and improving balance sheet flexibility.

NOTES

(1) The following are non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures for which reconciliations to relevant U.S GAAP measures are included in tables accompanying this release:

  • Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that enhances financial statement users overall understanding of the operating performance of the Company. The measure isolates unusual, infrequent or non-cash transactions from the operating performance of the business. This allows users to easily compare operating performance among various fiscal periods and how management measures the performance of the business. This measure also provides users with a benchmark that can be used when forecasting future operating performance of the Company that excludes unusual, nonrecurring or one-time transactions. Adjusted EBITDA is a component of the calculation used by stockholders and analysts to determine the value of our business when using the market approach, which applies a market multiple to financial metrics. It is also a measure used to calculate the leverage ratio of the Company, which is a key financial ratio monitored and used by the Company and its investors. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus non-operating expenses, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, assets loss (gain) on sales, impairments and other, restructuring costs and other, stock compensation and our 50% share of EBITDA from TNI and MNI, minus equity in earnings of TNI and MNI.
  • Cash Costs represent a non-GAAP financial performance measure of operating expenses which are measured on an accrual basis and settled in cash. This measure is useful to investors in understanding the components of the Company’s cash-settled operating costs. Periodically, the Company provides forward-looking guidance of Cash Costs, which can be used by financial statement users to assess the Company’s ability to manage and control its operating cost structure. Cash Costs are defined as compensation, newsprint and ink and other operating expenses. Depreciation and amortization, assets loss (gain) on sales, impairments and other, other non-cash operating expenses and other expenses are excluded. Cash Costs also exclude restructuring costs and other, which are typically paid in cash.
(2) Comparable basis is a non-GAAP performance measure based on U.S. GAAP trends for Lee for the current period, excluding the extra week in the prior year. The fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2025 consisted of 13 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively. The fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2024 consisted of 14 weeks and 53 weeks, respectively.

(3) Total Digital Revenue is defined as digital advertising and marketing services revenue (including Amplified Digital®), digital-only subscription revenue and digital services revenue.

(4) Same-store revenues is a non-GAAP performance measure based on U.S. GAAP revenues for Lee for the current period, excluding exited operations and the extra week in the prior year. Exited operations include (1) business divestitures and (2) the elimination of stand-alone print products discontinued within our markets.

(5) This earnings release is a preliminary report of results for the periods included. The reader should refer to the Company’s most recent reports on Form 10-Q and on Form 10-K for definitive information.

(6) The Company’s debt is the $576 million term loan under a credit agreement with BH Finance LLC dated January 29, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement”). Excess Cash Flow is defined under the Credit Agreement as any cash greater than $20,000,000 on the balance sheet in accordance with U.S. GAAP at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the quarter ending June 28, 2020.

(7) TNI refers to TNI Partners publishing operations in Tucson, AZ. MNI refers to Madison Newspapers, Inc. publishing operations in Madison, WI.

(8) FY25 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA were materially impacted by a cyber incident in February 2025. The FY25 impact on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $12M and $8M, respectively. These metrics exclude any potential reimbursement from cyber insurance carrier in FY25.
