Gain Capital (GCAP) Tops Q2 EPS by 13c, Revenues Beat

Gain Capital (NYSE: GCAP) reported Q2 EPS of $0.40, $0.13 better than the analyst estimate of $0.27. Revenue for the quarter came in at $101 million versus the consensus estimate of $83.43 million.

"A second quarter of high volatility, due in part to the ongoing economic concerns over the COVID-19 virus, allowed Gain to continue to benefit from high daily volumes, up 28% year on year, revenue capture of $150 plus improved operational leverage arising from a successful focus on cost efficiency over the past 2 years. Adjusted EBITDA was more than double the prior year's at $29m, a margin of 29% compared to last year's 17%, with adjusted EPS of $0.40 taking the half year to $2.48 earnings per share," stated Glenn Stevens, CEO of GAIN Capital.

"Client metrics in the second quarter further improved over the strong first quarter, as 42% more clients placed their first trade compared to the first quarter, an increase of 141% over prior year. These new clients, together with increased engagement from the large client base who opened accounts with us in 2019, helped improved our 3-month trailing active accounts by 34% over last year to a new record level. In addition, we look forward to the closing of the acquisition by StoneX Group (formerly INTL FCStone Inc.), which remains on track to complete later this quarter," added Mr. Stevens.
