SINGAPORE, March 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UP Fintech Holding Limited (NASDAQ: TIGR) (“UP Fintech” or the “Company”), a leading online brokerage firm focusing on global investors, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021.
“The company delivered satisfactory results for the fourth quarter and year ended 2021,” stated Mr. Wu Tianhua, CEO and Director of UP Fintech. “Total revenue was US$62.2 million for the fourth quarter and US$264.5 million for the whole year, an increase of 31.7% and 91.0% year over year. In the fourth quarter we added 61,400 funded accounts, and for the year 2021, 414,700 funded accounts, exceeding our yearly target of 350,000. The total number of funded accounts at the end of 2021 reached 673,400. Of the newly funded accounts in the fourth quarter, over 90% came from outside China, and of the 673,400 total funded accounts at our company, over half are from Singapore or other international markets. Given we only started to operate in Singapore two years ago, the rapid growth of our Singapore client base demonstrates our execution capability and the growing appeal of our platform across multiple countries and regions. Total client assets on our platform increased by 7% year over year to US$17.1 billion due to healthy net asset inflows in the quarter in excess of US$2.0 billion, but declined 17% from the third quarter of 2021 due to mark to market losses on clients’ holdings of Hong Kong listed equities and U.S. ADR companies.”
“Our integration of Tiger Brokers (HK) Global Limited (formerly known as Ocean Joy Securities Limited) is underway, however due to the unfortunate outbreak of the pandemic in Hong Kong, our progress has been slower than expected. Moving on, I am pleased to announce that last month we officially entered Australia. We view Australia as a vast market that is underserved by traditional financial services institutions and we are confident that our innovative mobile trading platform will be well received by local clients. While we face many respectable competitors in the local market, we believe our comprehensive product offering sets us apart; presently our APP in Australia facilitates clients to trade stocks in Australia, The U.S., and Hong Kong, and we are one of only a select few firms to offer U.S. options trading. Our platform’s wide variety of securities trading capabilities coupled with our innovative interface and low commissions positions us well to deliver value to clients in Australia and we do look forward to serving them.”
“Our corporate businesses continue to perform well. We participated in 22 IPOs in Hong Kong and the U.S. during the fourth quarter. We also added 51 new ESOP clients this quarter and serve 313 ESOP clients in total as of December 31, 2021. We remain committed to developing our platform’s wealth management capabilities and continued to add new funds to our Fund Mall from a diverse range of acclaimed asset management companies, enabling clients to allocate their capital globally across multiple strategies. Going forward we will continue to focus on executing on our international expansion strategy as well as enhancing the functionality of our innovative fintech platform. ”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to UP Fintech Holding Limited and non-GAAP net loss or income per ADS - diluted as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We define non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to UP Fintech Holding Limited as net loss or income attributable to UP Fintech Holding Limited excluding share-based compensation, impairment loss from equity investments and fair value change from convertible bonds. Non-GAAP net loss or income per ADS - diluted is non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to UP Fintech Holding Limited divided by the weighted average number of diluted ADSs.
We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to UP Fintech Holding Limited enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation, impairment loss from equity investments and fair value change from convertible bonds. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect our operations. Share-based compensation, impairment loss from equity investments and fair value change from convertible bonds have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP net loss or income attributable to UP Fintech Holding Limited. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to total operating expenses, net loss or income attributable to UP Fintech Holding Limited or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review these historical non-GAAP financial measures in light of the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing our data comparatively. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
