Chairman's Statement
For the six-month period ended 31 December 2025 ("H1 26")
Introduction
I am pleased to present the financial results of Tap Group for the six months ended 31 December 2025. From the Board's perspective, the period was one of continued strategic development, investment in core capabilities and careful focus on governance and execution. Despite some challenging months for businesses exposed to the recent drawdown of crypto assets, the first half of the financial year for Tap Group has seen stable revenues and continued operational progress.
During the period, Tap Group strengthened platform capabilities, expanded partnerships and began delivering new solutions for both retail and institutional clients. Early contributions from strategic initiatives aimed at growing the B2B side of the business, including our institutional Bitcoin Treasury as a Service platform, demonstrate the growing impact of our business model.
The admission to AIM has strengthened the Company's public market profile and supports the next phase of disciplined growth. Our focus remains on scaling the B2B vertical and supporting the continued development of a broader and more integrated digital financial offering for our c.400,000 registered users. Having laid the foundations, we are now poised to convert capability into sustained commercial momentum.
Operations
This period saw good progress in Tap Group's strategy to build a broader, more integrated and scalable customer proposition, seamlessly bridging traditional fiat financial systems and the digital asset economy. In September 2025, the Company entered into a Revised Payment Services Directive ("PSD2") compliant partnership with tell.money to integrate its open banking capabilities into the Tap Group platform. Customers are now able to use Tap accounts for everyday financial activity, including salary receipt and bill payments, positioning the platform as a genuine bridge between fiat financial systems and digital assets.
This was followed in October 2025 with a strategic partnership with FCA-regulated Moorwand, launching dedicated GBP and EUR IBANs. The partnership is intended to strengthen infrastructure capabilities and support the Group's ability to broaden customer services over time. Customers were now able to receive income, set up Direct Debits, and manage day-to-day financial activity directly through the Tap Group platform, extending the utility of the platform beyond cryptocurrency into mainstream financial use. These steps reinforced Tap Group's position as a trusted bridge between fiat and digital assets.
Following the Moorwand integration, the Company relaunched its corporate customer programme, securing over 25 business clients from the outset. This early adoption demonstrates the market demand for a fully regulated, seamless solution for managing both fiat and digital assets in a single platform. This initiative is expected to support diversification of revenue streams and broaden the Group's commercial reach.
Also in October 2025, Tap Group, following a successful pilot phase, launched its Bitcoin Treasury as a Service platform to provide publicly listed companies with institutional-grade access to Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve. It offers global liquidity, seamless fiat-to-crypto conversion, and comprehensive reporting, ensuring full compliance and robust custody. The platform's first institutional client, London BTC Company Limited (LSE: BTC), a London Stock Exchange Main Market-listed firm, validates the strength of our infrastructure and the relevance of our regulated framework. The Company's Bitcoin Treasury as a Service offering exemplifies how the Company is translating strategic investments into tangible, scalable solutions for an emerging market.
Tap customers now have access to over 70 cryptocurrencies across more than 40 countries, supported by improved trading optimisation and execution capabilities. The expansion of XTP token utility, including cashback functionality and subscription tiers, aims to deepen engagement and encourage long-term participation in the Tap ecosystem. The Board remains focused on ensuring that growth in ecosystem participation is matched by appropriate governance, compliance, and operational oversight.
Financial Performance
The Group delivered a strong trading performance in the early part of the period through October 2025; however, market conditions softened thereafter, reflecting reduced trading activity across digital asset markets following stronger conditions in the prior year. As a result, for the six months ended 31 December 2025, the Group generated revenue of £1.67 million, representing a decrease of 6.9% compared with the corresponding period in the prior year.
During the period, the Group continued to benefit from previously implemented cost optimisation initiatives, with gross profit margins maintained at over 75%. Gross profit for the period was £1.28 million (H1 2024: £1.31 million), a decrease of 2.9%. In addition, the Group recognised £0.21 million of other income relating to the final settlement of the agreement with Bitfinex.
Operating expenses increased year-on-year to £1.94 million, an increase of 35%. This was predominantly driven by higher legal and professional fees, compliance costs and insurance.
Tap Group's EBITDA for the six-month period was a loss of £0.15 million.
The Group's cash position at 31 December 2025 was £0.43 million, a decrease of 46.5% from 30 June 2025. The reduction was principally driven by the cash payment of the £0.15 million GFSC regulatory settlement accrued in the prior year, increased legal and compliance expenditure, and ongoing investment in platform infrastructure and software development. The cash position is expected to be strengthened by the post-period acquisition of XTP tokens, as referred to below.
Following a strategic review, the Board has resolved to wind down the Company's partnership with Zero Hash, the third-party provider of cryptocurrency services for Tap Americas LLC. The arrangement, which had been in place for approximately three years, did not generate meaningful revenue and incurred annual operating costs of approximately $300,000. The termination of this partnership is expected to reduce ongoing cost and working capital requirements. The Company believes its existing European platform infrastructure and regulatory capabilities position it well to re-enter the US market directly through its own licensing, removing the need for third-party technology and licence providers and enabling greater control over the customer experience and unit economics.
Board and Management Changes
I would like to reiterate our thanks to Peter Wall, my predecessor as Chairman, who stepped down in October 2025 to pursue a position within the Government of Canada. Peter played an instrumental role in guiding Tap Group through a pivotal stage of its development, and his strategic insight and leadership were central to strengthening the Group and laying the foundations for its successful admission to trading on AIM. In my role as Non-Executive Chairman, my focus is on supporting the Board and management as we continue to execute on the Group's growth strategy, building on the strong foundations already established and ensuring we capitalise on the significant opportunities ahead as a regulated platform bridging traditional finance and digital assets.
I would also like to thank Steven Borg, who resigned from the Board in January 2026. The Board is grateful for Steven's contribution to the Group and wishes him well in his future endeavours. Following this change, Andrew Milmine was appointed Head of Finance. He will be working closely with the Board and senior management team to support the Group's financial reporting, internal controls, and ongoing compliance with the AIM Rules and applicable regulatory requirements.
The Board remains focused on ensuring the leadership structure, capabilities, and oversight framework are appropriate for the Group's next phase of development.
Post-Period End
In March 2026, the Board (including myself) and members of senior management voluntarily agreed to a comprehensive three-year lock-in and orderly market arrangement covering, in aggregate, approximately 63.0% of the Company's issued share capital. We believe this decision reflects alignment with shareholders and the Board's confidence in the longer-term development of the business, while maintaining appropriate governance standards. This step reflects the Board's commitment to alignment, accountability and long-term shareholder value.
Later in the month, the Company announced it had acquired three billion XTP tokens from Tap N Go Ltd ("Tap N Go") for nil cost. The Company has over 32,850 users with an XTP balance on its platform, demonstrating the high level of existing and potential future integration between Tap and the token. The acquisition strengthens Tap Group's balance sheet and digital asset treasury and deepens the Tap-XTP ecosystem integration as the tokens can be used for cashback rewards and customer other incentives. Our aim is to build a scaled and differentiated digital financial services platform with long-term relevance in the crypto and fintech sector.
In March 2026, the Company commenced charging inactivity fees to certain customer accounts in accordance with provisions contained within its existing terms and conditions. While such provisions have historically formed part of the Company's contractual framework, they had not previously been enforced in practice. The Company generated approximately £0.44 million of revenue from inactivity fees following the implementation of this policy. The application of these fees was implemented after the reporting period and is therefore considered a non-adjusting post-balance-sheet event. Accordingly, no amounts have been recognised in the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2025.
Outlook
While market conditions may remain variable, the Group is focused on disciplined delivery, operational resilience and building sustainable long-term value.
Thanks to its strong foundations, platform investment and lean operating structure, the business has continued to strengthen its operational framework and strategic direction and is in very good shape going into the second half of the year. The Company is well positioned to benefit from a recovery in crypto markets.
Our focus remains on scaling the platform and building a leading bridge between traditional finance and digital assets. The Board will continue to support growth while maintaining a strong focus on governance, capital discipline, and long-term shareholder returns.
