The Company's total expense was approximately $1.94 billion in fiscal 2025 as compared to $1.23 billion in fiscal 2024. Net income was approximately $84.5 million for fiscal 2025 compared to $375 million for the previous fiscal year, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.43 and $1.40, respectively. This compares to $6.37 and $6.33 per share, respectively, last year. Weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 were 60.5 million and 59.4 million, respectively. Total assets were $9.9 billion on March 31, 2025, as compared to $8.3 billion as of the fiscal 2024 year-end. "An offering of increasingly diversified fintech-based services continues to attract new customers…” “Fiscal 2025 was another year of strong top-line growth for Freedom with revenue from both our brokerage and insurance businesses increasing by double-digits,” said Timur Turlov, the Company's founder and chief executive officer. “This continued growth reflects the success of the investments we are making in digital infrastructure, AI, and our offering of increasingly diversified fintech-based services which continues to attract new customers.” Turlov continued, “We are especially proud of the success of our Freedom SuperApp which not only provides customers access to the best products and services available from Freedom in our brokerage, banking and insurance ecosystem, but also allows them to shop, compare, save money, and earn cash back from retailers. Since its launch in April 2024, SuperApp has met with enthusiastic market acceptance, signing up over 1 million monthly active users and 183,000 daily active users in just over a year. Additional Fiscal 2025 highlights: Our fee and commission income for fiscal 2025 was $505 million, an increase of $64.7 million, or 15%, compared to fiscal 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to higher fee and commission income from brokerage services, primarily driven by the growth in retail brokerage customers from 530,000 to 683,000 at the end of fiscal 2025. We had approximately 2,515,000 bank customers at our Freedom Bank KZ subsidiary as of March 31, 2025, as compared to approximately 904,000 as of March 31, 2024. Freedom’s insurance underwriting income for fiscal 2025 was $617.6 million, an increase of $353.4 million. This increase was driven by the expansion of the Company’s insurance operations such as pension annuity and accident insurance, and an increase in the number of customers from 534,000 to 1,170,000 during the fiscal year. Freedom also had a gain of $12.4 million on derivatives trading, versus a loss of $103.8 million in 2024. “We are also excited to be entering the telecommunications and media markets this fiscal year… “Freedom ended the fiscal year with 8,764 employees – 2,567 more than at the same time a year ago, which bears witness to our rapid growth across the financial services sector in Kazakhstan and in other core markets,” said Turlov. “We are proud of our employees and their efforts, as well as our Company’s contributions to worthy causes in sports and education which include the Kazakhstan Chess Federation and the 2024 FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Chess Championship last December in New York. We continued our support for the development of chess in Kazakhstan. During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, the Fund has made financial contributions to the Kazakhstan Chess Federation to support the preparation and holding of championships, tournaments, and training camps. We supported the International Biology Olympiad (IBO), a prestigious competition among secondary school students from around the world, by financing its opening and closing ceremonies. We acted as the General Partner of the Kazakhstan Collegiate Programming Federation for its participation in the final round of one of the largest international competitions in the IT sphere, the ICPC World Finals 2024, in Astana. In 2024, we provided financial support for construction of a new center for advanced technologies, development, and research began at SDU University in Almaty. The new university building will serve as a hub for conducting research in the fintech field. The modern campus, opened in March 2025, features AI labs, fintech research centers, financial literacy zones, and interactive educational spaces. We continued supporting the ‘Teach for Qazaqstan’ initiative with funds covering operational costs and holding educational events. As part of the initiative, teachers receive access to master classes, seminars and specialized training modules aimed at creating a supportive and stimulating learning environment. Freedom Holding Corp. continued supporting the development of various sports in Kazakhstan, including football, tennis, and cycling.” Concluded Turlov, “Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, we will continue to make investments in our digital infrastructure and AI to build out the Freedom portfolio of brokerage, banking and insurance services – an ecosystem that is disrupting regional banking and online retail services. We are also excited to be entering the telecommunications and media markets in Kazakhstan this fiscal year, an effort which is supported by our additional $200 million domestic bond offering last September, which was the largest offering of its kind to date on the Astana International Exchange.” On April 30, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of a new subsidiary Astel Group Ltd. by Freedom Telecom from a third party for $22.6 million as part of our expansion into the telecommunications market in Kazakhstan and building a digital fintech ecosystem. Astel Group Ltd. is the largest independent fixed-line operator providing modern telecommunications services, operating in the B2G and B2B segments.
