IG Group Holdings reported first-half revenue of approximately £643 million for the six months ended 30 June, up around 18% on the prior year, as the financial technology group simultaneously unveiled a structural overhaul including a proposal to establish a new international holding company.
Organic revenue, which strips out contributions from acquisitions including Freetrade and Independent Reserve, reached approximately £624 million, up around 16% year-on-year, with first trades more than doubling on a reported basis and active customers rising 66%.
The new holding company structure, subject to FCA and international regulatory approval, is expected to take effect in the fourth quarter of 2026, reflecting that around two-thirds of IG's revenue is now generated outside the UK; the Group said its UK tax residence, effective tax rate, London presence and employees will be unaffected.
IG is also consolidating three regional commercial divisions, UK & Ireland, Europe, and APAC & Middle East, into a single unit under a newly titled CEO of IG Consumer, with North America and Institutional continuing as separate businesses.
The Board reiterated its upgraded full-year guidance, first raised on 19 May: organic revenue excluding Freetrade and Independent Reserve is expected to grow 10% to 15% from the 2025 base of approximately £1,100 million, with EBITDA margins in the mid-40s percentage range and net interest income of £110 million to £120 million.
IG will publish its full interim results on 31 July.
