expenses. This excludes interest on the private credit facility, which is part of interest expenses. CEO statement

strength of its franchise and delivered a solid result. This resulted in a robust EBITDA margin of 43% for the quarter,
alongside 2Q26 net profit of €40.8m and EPS of €0.93. Our 2026 Capital Markets Day was a milestone for Flow Traders
as it provided us with the opportunity to share our Horizon 2030 vision to become the 24/7 liquidity provider of choice.
We remain focused on our six strategic priorities: i) expand and scale our ETF business, ii) continue to grow our
digital asset franchise, iii) expand into tokenized asset trading, iv) build-out our quantitative trading capabilities,
iv) expand our unified 24/7 sales and distribution model and vi) accelerate operational excellence. We continue to
invest in our business to progress these strategic priorities. This includes attracting experienced talent with a focus
on technology and AI as well as invest in our trading and quantitative capabilities. During our full year results we
intend to provide you with a progress update on Horizon 2030.” Preliminary financial calendar 29 October
