Unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2022

Mode Global Holdings PLC (LSE: MODE), the LSE-listed Fintech Group, is pleased to announce its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2022.

Rita Liu, Mode CEO comments: "2022 has presented a highly volatile and challenging macro environment in which to operate. For tech and crypto companies, this has presented new challenges on an almost daily basis, with fiat and crypto markets seeing considerable losses, and reduced access to capital as markets prepare for possible recession. In light of this, Mode has done all it can to help its users trade in a safe and stable environment, providing more and more features to help support their crypto exposure, either actively or passively. We have also relentlessly worked on optimising our cost structure while continuing to build on our core propositions.

"That being said, the challenges the market has faced have impacted our numbers. Compared to H1 2021 which saw a crypto bull run, just 12 months later we face a very different environment. However, our conviction in creating value by leveraging cutting edge technology such as crypto and open banking has never been stronger. Our ecosystem of brands, partners, and users are growing despite the challenging macro environment, and the variety and diversity of our product development has given us resilience during a volatile time.  We are highly confident about the future of Mode and the wider fintech and crypto industry. "
