Black Banx Group announced its fourth quarter results covering the twelve months of 2023. Net revenues were $2.3 billion in 2023, up 109% year-on-year, and $798 million in the fourth quarter. In both the full year and fourth quarter of 2023, revenues were the highest since 2015.
Profit before tax was $289 million, up 62% year on year and the highest since the group's formation in 2015. Profit growth was driven by growth in net revenues but had to compensate for higher expenses mostly due to the expansion of the global workforce. The global workforce included 5,981 full-time employees at the end of 2023, up by 881 employees during the fourth quarter. This increase predominantly reflects continued internationalization of staff in the fourth quarter.
The total number of clients increased by 95% to 39 million over 2022. In the fourth quarter, Black Banx Group onboarded 6.1 million new clients, up 21% over third quarter. The growth was driven predominantly by new customer acquisition in the MEA and APAC region.
"Our 2023 results demonstrate the benefits of Black Banx's global business expansion strategy primarily in the MEA and APAC region," said Alexander Johnson, Group Chief Financial Officer. "We have delivered revenue growth in our core businesses and continued to leverage costs of growing our business. Our risk provisions are in line with guidance despite challenging conditions during the year. All of this demonstrates good momentum on the path towards our 2025 objectives."
