Trading Update

Plus500, a leading technology platform for trading Contracts for Difference ("CFDs") internationally, issues the following trading update ahead of today's EGM, which is taking place at 10.00am UK time.

Trading during Q1 2021 has remained strong, supported by continued outperformance of Customer Income[1], which is tracking ahead of Q4 2020, and across key operating metrics.

FY 2021 revenue will be driven through the Company's continued underlying growth of Active Customers[2], its on-going success in attracting and retaining New Customers[3] and supportive market conditions. At this early stage of the year, while these dynamics have continued to be favourable, monthly trading results remain volatile.

FY 2021 EBITDA[4] will be supported by Plus500's lean, flexible cost base and efficient business model, with continued investment in marketing technology to capture opportunities to drive attractive return-on-investment over time.

Given the Company's continued robust performance, and supported by its market-leading proprietary trading platform, its flexible and scalable business model, its robust financial position and consistent track record, the Board remains confident about the outlook for Plus500.

The Company will publish its results for Q1 2021, for the period ended 31 March 2021, on 13 April 2021.
