Speaking on the results, Sean M. O’Connor, CEO of INTL FCStone Inc., said in a statement: “The first quarter of fiscal 2020 was a solid quarter, given difficult market conditions including lower market volatility and declining short term rates. During the quarter, we continued to see progress on the implementation of key initiatives we began in fiscal 2019 as well the continued integration of recent acquisitions which have increased our product offering and expanded our client footprint.
“While these strategic moves were not yet profitable in aggregate during the quarter, their performance has improved over the immediately preceding fourth quarter and we continue to believe these strategic moves coupled with the continued digitization of our platform will be key initiatives to the continued growth of our global franchise.”
Taking a look at INTL FCStone’s foreign exchange (forex) Prime Brokerage unit, operating revenues dropped by 33 per cent to the prior-year period, hitting $5.0 million in the first quarter.
According to the statement released by the company, this is largely because the prior year period included a $2.7 million settlement received related to the Barclays PLC ‘last look’ class action.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2020 FX volumes also fell on a yearly comparison. Specifically, trading activity fell by 17 per cent year-on-year, with volumes dragged down by lower market volatility.
