MANAGEMENT REPORT

The net profit of the Budapest Stock Exchange (BSE) for the first three quarters of 2025, which includes the BSE's share of the KELER Group's results, is 3.89 billion HUF

The EBITDA value for the the first three quarters of 2025 was 1 252 million HUF, which is 25% higher than the value achieved in the same period 2024.

The revenues of the Budapest Stock Exchange amounted to 3 220 million HUF in the first three quarters of 2025, which is 17% higher than the revenue generated in the same period of the previous year.

In 2025 trading revenues grew 43% compared to the same period of last year. Issuer fee revenues are 3% higher than in 2024 Q1-Q3, while information services revenues grew 7%.

The average equity market turnover in the first three quarters of 2025 amounted to HUF 17 billion, exceeded the full-year average of HUF 11.8 billion in 2024. Compared to the same period in 2024, the turnover in the first three quarters of this year was nearly 51,6% higher than the HUF 11.2 billion recorded a year earlier.

As of the end of September 2025, the Budapest Stock Exchange lists the securities of 155 issuer companies. During the first three quarters, the shares of one new issuer, Glia Nova, were listed on the Xtend market, while Goodwill Pharma transitioned from the Xtend market to the Standard category of the regulated market.

In the debt section listed corporate bonds grew by 279 billion and mortgage bonds grew with 39 billion HUF. The business line generated revenues of HUF 981 million during the first three quarters, representing a 3% increase compared to the Q1-Q3 in 2024.

The information services business line generated HUF 999 million in revenue during the period, which is 7% higher compared to the first three quarters of the previous year.

The result of financial operations amounted to HUF 242 million during the reporting period. This represents a decrease of HUF 16 million compared to the previous year, primarily due to the impact of unrealized exchange rate differences.

In the first three quarters of 2025, the KELER Group achieved a pre-tax profit of HUF 7.33 billion, supported by better-than-expected fee income and interest revenue, as well as savings in operating expenses.

Revenue from core activities amounted to HUF 15.72 billion, with a significant portion of HUF 10,57 billion coming from fees and commission income which overall was HUF 431.8 billion higher than revenue level achieved in the same period of the previous year.

The interest rate differential amounted to HUF 5.14 billion, falling short of the base figure by HUF 209.4 million, primarily due to the decrease in the benchmark interest rat

The costs of the securities depository and clearing house amounted to HUF 8.54 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, exceeding the operating expenses of the same period in the previous year by HUF 1.14 million.

    Trading revenues change primarily as a result of the daily turnover, especially the share section turnover.

    The revenues from listed entities are partly related to one-off fees invoiced at the time of listing, and partly related to the listed assets in a given quarter.

    Vendor fees are typically invoiced in EUR, so the recorded HUF revenues are partly affected by the exchange rate movements, and partly by the change in quantities.

    All income is recognised within the year, or, if the Company recognises income over a given period, on a simple pro rata basis.

    SEASONALITY

    According to long-term historical experience, trading revenues bear seasonality, as the summer months (June - August) - mostly in line with holiday periods - generally produce a more restrained turnover on the stock markets compared to other months of the year.

    In the case of listing fees from issuers and revenues from the sale of information, BSE did not identify any clear seasonality or any circumstances that would justify seasonality.

    Since BSE is not a seasonal business operator, we do not present separate financial information related to seasonality.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

The management of BSE has reviewed the entity's activities and operations and, on that basis, has concluded that there are no identifiable separable operating segments whose operating results would be reviewed by the chief operating decision maker of BSE in order to make a decision about resources to be allocated to the segment, since the following criteria are not met:

  • Most of the operating expenses cannot be allocated to a specific business activity or specific business contract. Direct and indirect allocation of most expenses to cost centers is not possible. Therefore, no discrete financial information is available.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Total amount of non-repayable grants available under the EDIOP-1.1.7-2017-00001 programme: it was HUF 1,307 million after a budget increase in 2022, with the aim of implementing training and mentoring programmes and providing stock exchange preparation for IPOs for companies identified in the context of the call. The programme and related payments by BSE ended in 2023. The Grantor approved the last settlement in January 2024 and transferred HUF 497 million to BSE.

The mirror project of EDIOP, the "BSE Mentoring Programme in the Central Hungary Region" ("CHR") project targets the same stock exchange development elements by focusing on the central regions. After the budget increase in 2022, the total amount HUF 846,75 million was available for this aim. In 2023, the CHR program also expired, BSE paid all relevant amounts to eligible partners, and the final approval also arrived in March 2025.

There are no unfulfilled conditions and other contingencies attaching to government assistance recognised.

    The license fees include minor and/or short-term (maximum 1 year) software and device leases. A significant amount of these arise in EUR, thus the rise of the exchange rate has an effect on the higher level of expenses.

    Other services include service costs incurred in the ordinary course of business.

    Wages and salaries also include accrued bonuses, according to the actual status of KPI-s, and in a proportionate manner.

    Under the line of Operating costs of leased office a total of HUF 22 million in credit invoices relating to previous years is recognised in 2025. In accordance with the BSE's accounting policy, this amount is not considered material, therefore, BSE presents the impact in detail in this note. Out of the HUF 22 million, HUF 7 million relates to FY 2024. Accordingly, the operating costs for the first nine months of 2025, without these adjustments, would amount to HUF million 111 instead of HUF million 89, while the operating costs for the first three quarters of 2024 would be HUF million 97 instead of HUF million 102.

      IFRS REPORT - NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025; DATA IN MILLION FORINTS

The standard addresses the indications on the basis of which an impairment loss may arise. If any of these indications exist, the operator should prepare a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. BÉT's management identified the following fundamental factors, on the basis of which it became necessary to estimate the value of the share owned in the KELER Group as of December 31, 2024:

  • unfavorable macroeconomic environment,

  • effect of securities transaction tax introduced in 2022

  • due to the high risk premium the evaluation of Hungarian assets generally lower (since 2022 and 2023, market interest rates have decreased)

  • KELER Group performed above business plans

For the reasons detailed above, BSE deemed it necessary to examine the value of it share in KELER Group on 31 December, 2024. BÉT performed the company valuation based on the discounted cash flow method (DCF). The investment value was determined by forecasting the future cash flows of the KELER group and discounting them to their present value. Based on this, taking into account BSE's ownership share, the value of BSE's shares in the associates was approximately the same as the book value. BSE's management reviewed the assessment and did not identify such differences that would have required the accounting of impairment or the reversal of previous impairment as of December 31, 2024.

BSE also examined the presence of signals on 30 September, 2025, which still existed, there were no changes in them. Since no significant period of time has elapsed, and KELER Group's results for the first three quarters of 2025 differ in a positive direction from the plans used as the basis for the DCF calculation, further impairment accounting is not justified with a high degree of certainty as of 30 September.

  1. OTHER LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS

    Along with 14 other stock exchanges, BSE founded EuroCTP B.V. in 2023. BÉT's share in the company is 0.05%. BSE values the share at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents contains only the balance of the cash at bank and depository.

Beginning in 2022, the BSE granted housing loans to its employees, a portion of which matures within the year (HUF 2 million) and are presented as part of Trade and other receivables. The part with a maturity of more than a year was shown under Non-current assets as Loans at amortised cost (HUF 21 million).

The fair value of the receivables presented is almost identical to the book value. The above items do not bear interest, with the exception of cash equivalents, which earn interest if deposited for a fixed term.
