DeFi Technologies Inc (DEFT) Q1 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Record Revenue and Strategic ...
Release Date: May 14, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. DeFi Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:DEFT) reported a record quarter with a net revenue of $62.7 million Canadian. The company has successfully launched 65 exchange-traded products (ETPs) across multiple jurisdictions and plans to expand to over 100 by the end of the year. DeFi Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:DEFT) has upgraded its revenue guidance from $227.2 million Canadian to $285.6 million Canadian for 2025. The acquisition of Stillman Digital has enhanced trading execution capabilities and is expected to contribute significantly to the bottom line. DeFi Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:DEFT) has a strong presence in Europe and the Nordics and is expanding into new markets such as the Middle East, East Africa, and Southeast Asia. The company's total assets declined from 1.3 billion Canadian to just over 1 billion Canadian due to volatility in crypto prices. Despite a positive net inflow of $72.4 million into ETP products, the company is still susceptible to volatile crypto prices. Reflexivity Research recorded a decrease in revenue compared to the previous year, earning $262,000 Canadian in Q1 2025. The Genesis loan is fully collateralized by 359 Bitcoin, which have been fully impaired, affecting the balance sheet. The company faces challenges in entering new markets due to regulatory hurdles and the need for significant investment in relationships and time. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with DEFT. Q: Can you detail what areas of business drove your 2025 guidance higher? A: The main drivers were the base cash flow from our ETPs, which is dependent on market levels and inflows. The market has risen over 20%, increasing our earnings from staking, lending, and management fees by about 25%. Additionally, DeFi Alpha saw a positive shift due to a recent trade not previously in our pipeline, and we have more insight into upcoming trades. The higher AUM from market increases also contributed significantly. Q: Could you talk about new geographies for ETPs and any rough timing for specific regions? A: East Africa is the most mature in the process, with high-level government and regulatory engagement. Southeast Asia and some Gulf Coast countries are also in advanced discussions. While timing depends on regulatory approvals, we are working at the highest levels to ensure timely listings and access for local populations. Q: What do you see as the tangible benefits of DeFi Technologies uplisting to NASDAQ in terms of cost of capital and other metrics? A: Uplisting to NASDAQ enhances liquidity, visibility, and access to larger institutions, leading to a more efficient cost of capital. This will support potential acquisitions and other strategic initiatives, forming a unique shareholder base around our equity. Q: Can you provide an update on your plans to launch ETFs in the US via the partnership with Professional Capital Management? A: We are assessing the viability of entering the US market, considering the competitive landscape with established players like BlackRock and Fidelity. We aim to identify a specific market niche to avoid direct competition with these large institutions. Q: Can you provide an update on your current thinking around returning excess capital to shareholders via share repurchases or potentially instituting a dividend? A: We have utilized share buybacks opportunistically when our share price is undervalued. While we are a growth company and currently focus on reinvesting profits, the board may consider dividends in the future when we reach a comfortable revenue milestone.
