Multitude AG reported a strategic shift in its revenue composition for the first half of 2026, with fee and commission income more than doubling year-on-year to offset a decline in interest income. The European FinTech company, which offers digital lending and online banking services, posted group revenue of EUR 126.9 million for the period ending June 30, 2026, down from EUR 133.4 million in H1 2025.

Net profit for the period amounted to EUR 13.1 million, compared to EUR 14.2 million in the same period last year. The company stated this reflects the expected phasing of profitability through FY2026 as it executes its tri-pillar growth strategy of organic growth, partnerships, and selective M&A.

Revenue Diversification

The decline in top-line revenue was primarily driven by a drop in interest income to EUR 114.3 million from EUR 128.0 million in H1 2025, as the Group continued to optimise its lending portfolio. However, this was significantly mitigated by a 136% increase in fee and commission income to EUR 12.6 million (H1 2025: EUR 5.3 million). This growth in fees was supported by expanded partnerships, payment services, and the full consolidation of Sortter Oy following its acquisition in May 2026.

Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

Multitude’s balance sheet strengthened during the period, with total assets rising to EUR 1.6 billion from EUR 1.4 billion at the end of 2025. Group equity increased by 16.9% to EUR 243.1 million, aided by the issuance of EUR 70 million in capital notes, bringing the net equity ratio to 24.0%. Customer deposits, the primary funding source, grew by 12.1% to EUR 1.2 billion.

Asset quality improvements were evident across the portfolio. Impairment losses fell by 17.7% to EUR 34.9 million (H1 2025: EUR 42.4 million). Net loans and investments expanded by 15.0% to EUR 979.5 million.

Business Unit Performance

Consumer Banking (Ferratum) saw revenue decline to EUR 93.5 million from EUR 106.5 million, reflecting portfolio optimisation. However, impairment losses dropped by 20.5%, and net loans grew 6.2% to EUR 537.4 million. Earnings before tax (EBT) stood at EUR 15.1 million.

SME Banking (CapitalBox) reported slight revenue growth of 2.4% to EUR 17.7 million, while net loans surged 15.5% to EUR 170.9 million. EBT widened to a loss of EUR 3.5 million from EUR 1.5 million, weighed down by organisational transformation and technology investments.

Wholesale Banking (Multitude Bank) demonstrated strong expansion, with revenue jumping 64.5% to EUR 15.7 million and EBT increasing eightfold to EUR 3.5 million. Net loans in this segment grew by 37.0% to EUR 271.3 million.

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a deliberate trade-off between volume and yield in the lending book. While net loans and investments expanded by 15.0%, interest income contracted by approximately 10.7%. This divergence suggests that the growth in the loan book is occurring at lower yields or that the portfolio mix is shifting towards less interest-intensive assets, even as asset quality improves through reduced impairment losses.

Outlook

Multitude remains on track to achieve its FY2026 net profit guidance of EUR 30 million. The company continues to target annual net profit growth of 20% in both 2027 and 2028. Positive EBT for SME Banking is now expected latest in 2027, though long-term financial targets remain unchanged.
