Significant events

• “On 24 February 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine. The directors have considered the impact of this event on the financial statements and have made certain adjustments based on the Group's credit exposure to countries in these regions. These adjustments do not have a material impact on the Group's profitability.”
• “On 21 January 2025, the directors proposed an interim dividend of US$2,500,000. The interim dividend was paid to the sole shareholder of the Company Poten & Partners, Ltd.”
• “On 30 June 2025, Poten & Partners (Spain) SL declared a dividend to the Company (its sole shareholder) for the amount of US$1,405,959.”
• “The Company established Poten & Partners (Athens) Ltd in October 2019 with the intent to expand the scope of its brokerage business. The subsidiary received its license to operate in Greece in March 2020. The subsidiary pursued delisting of its license to operate in Greece, as the Group determined that it no longer wants to pursue operations in Greece. The delisting was granted on 18 February 2025.”
• “The Company dissolved its Poten & Partners Denmark ApS subsidiary on 13 February 2024 as it has determined that it no longer serves any operational purpose. The subsidiary was not in a position to repay any capital to the Company and therefore the Company has written off the full amount of its investment.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
