First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
First Quarter 2026 Strategic Highlights
"We delivered another record quarter and a strong start to 2026, driven by continued momentum across our diversified platform," said Ilan Raviv, Chief Executive Officer of Meitav Investment House. "Our long-term savings segment continued to benefit from strong inflows from both existing and new client deposits as well as market share gains, translating into revenue growth of 8% sequentially and 36% year-over-year. In our short-term savings activities, mutual funds continued to attract significant inflows into actively managed equity and fixed income strategies, with revenues increasing 10% from the prior quarter and 45% year-over-year. These trends reflect continued demand for our investment products, the strength of our distribution platform, and our positioning across both long-term and short-term savings activities. Looking ahead, we continue to advance our AI implementation initiatives, primarily focused on client service and back-office operations, and we expect to begin seeing the impact of these investments by the end of 2026." Einat Rom, Chief Financial Officer of Meitav Investment House, added: "First quarter results reflected continued revenue growth alongside improving operating leverage across the platform. Total revenues increased 32% year-over-year to NIS 598 million (~$189 million), while operating profit increased 55% year-over-year and 17% sequentially to NIS 223 million (~$70 million). As expected, G&A expenses normalized to NIS 169 million (~$53 million), down from NIS 178 million (~$56 million) in Q4 2025. EBITDA margin improved to 42.3%, compared to approximately 40% in the fourth quarter and 38% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting the scalability of our operating model as revenues continue to grow. Net profit attributed to shareholders reached NIS 128 million (~$40 million), up 33% year-over-year and 10% sequentially, with basic EPS up 28% year-over-year and 8% sequentially to NIS 1.57. Additionally, the strengthening of the Israeli shekel following quarter-end favorably impacted the U.S. dollar presentation of our financial results. With Q1 results, we are confident in our ability to meet and potentially exceed our 20% full-year profitability growth target, subject to market conditions." Assets Under Management and Business Momentum As of March 31, 2026, Meitav's assets under management (AUM) totaled NIS 425.7 billion (~$134.5 billion), representing an increase of approximately 28% compared to NIS 331.5 billion (~$104.8 billion) as of March 31, 2025, reflecting a strong start to the year and continued business momentum across the platform. On April 30, 2026, AUM reached a high of approximately NIS 448 billion (~$142 billion). As highlighted through the Company's monthly reporting framework, business momentum remained strong throughout the quarter, in net client inflows, credit portfolio, and retail brokerage client base. In 2025, net inflows contributed approximately 17% of AUM growth in Meitav's long-term savings segment, while performance contributed an additional 15%. Over the past five years, this 17% level represents the average annual inflows into the long-term savings segment, underscoring the consistency and resilience of the Company's growth profile. This consistent inflow dynamic has continued into the first quarter of 2026, supporting AUM growth despite market-driven variability. These results reflect ongoing demand for Meitav's investment products, continued growth in mandatory pension contributions, and the Company's strong positioning across both long-term savings (LTS) and short-term savings (STS) activities. Non-Bank Credit The Company's non-bank credit activities continued to expand during the first quarter of 2026, with revenues of NIS 98 million (~$31 million), up 8% year-over-year. The credit portfolio reached approximately NIS 3.67 billion (~$1.16 billion) as of March 31, 2026, reflecting continued expansion in our client base compared to year-end 2025 and year-over-year, while maintaining a disciplined approach to risk management. Retail and Institutional Brokerage Meitav completed the merger of its retail and institutional brokerage operations into one segment in the beginning of 2026, strengthening client service capabilities and enhancing operational efficiency. Meitav Trade revenues reached NIS 80 million (~$25 million) in Q1 2026, up 23% year-over-year. Client activity remained robust throughout the first quarter, the number of retail brokerage clients increasing to approximately 123,500 as of March 31, 2026, reflecting continued client acquisition and elevated trading activity. Alternative Investments Under the Meitav Access platform, the Company continued to expand its alternative investment offerings during the first quarter of 2026, including the launch of new funds focused on infrastructure and real estate co-investments. In addition, Meitav continued the integration of the Trio hedge fund, which was consolidated beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025. Total AUM in alternative investments amounted to approximately NIS 1.5 billion as of March 31, 2026.
