HONG KONG, Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Metalpha Technology Holding Limited (Nasdaq: MATH) (the “Company” or “Metalpha”), a global digital asset-based wealth management company, announced financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (the “FY 2023”). The Company reported the notional amount of derivative products issued of $382 million under its wealth management business arm, which generated fiscal-year income of $5.7 million. The adjusted loss of the Company in FY 2023 was about $0.7 million.
The Company recorded strong year-over-year growth driven by its wealth management business, a key pillar of its operations and revenue model. The Company designs and issues derivative products for institutions and professional investors and recognizes the fair value change of (i) trading of digital assets and derivative contracts and (ii) investment in trusts as income from our wealth management business.
Metalpha prides itself on being one of the world’s largest digital asset-based derivative trading firms. The notional amount of derivative products issued in FY 2023 was $382 million compared to only $49 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (the “FY 2022”). The income from the wealth management business jumped from $0.1 million in FY 2022 to $5.7 million in FY 2023.
Metalpha aims to provide qualified investors with high-quality product design and trading capabilities and is committed to delivering structured derivative products to cryptocurrency market participants.
“We are pleased to see strong demand for customized products and earn high customer satisfaction. The fast growth of our wealth management business indicates the market’s confidence in our business approach. We strive to design products and services with compliance at the core. In the new year, we are confident about the improving market conditions which could lead to stronger demand for our derivative product subscriptions.
At the company level, we aim to maintain a high growth rate and significantly lower expenses as our business scale expands. We will also continue to innovate and diversify our business offerings in a bid to expand our market share in Asia,” said Adrian Wang, President of Metalpha.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely to” and similar statements. Management has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While they believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond management’s control. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause Metalpha’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Non-IFRS Financial Measure
The Company uses adjusted loss for the period, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Metalpha believes that adjusted loss helps identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in its loss for the period. Metalpha believes that adjusted loss for the period provides useful information about its results of operations, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Adjusted loss for the period should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to loss for the period or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review adjusted loss for the period and the reconciliation to its most directly comparable IFRS measure. Adjusted loss for the period presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. Metalpha encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Adjusted loss for the period represents profit for the period excluding (i) equity-settled share-based payments under the Company’s share award scheme, (ii) share purchase warrants expenses (i.e. expenses in relation to the issuance of warrants to certain consultants, employees and business partners); and (iii) loss from discontinued operation.
The table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-IFRS Measure to the Nearest Comparable IFRS Measure” included at the end of this announcement contains a full reconciliation of adjusted loss for the period to loss for the period.
