Exhibit 99.1

 

Currenc Group Inc. Announces Second Quarter and First Half 2025 Financial Results

 

Singapore, August 4, 2025 (Globe Newswire) — Currenc Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CURR) (“Currenc” or the “Company”), a fintech pioneer empowering financial institutions worldwide with artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

 

Total Processing Value (TPV) through Tranglo was US$1.46 billion for the second quarter of 2025, increasing by 6.9% year-over-year. Total number of transactions increased to 3.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 from 2.9 million for the same period of 2024.

 

Total revenues excluding TNG Asia and GEA1 were US$8.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, representing a year-over-year decrease of 10.3%, primarily due to a 16.7% decline in global airtime revenue and a 39.6% decline in Indonesian Airtime revenue.

 

   For the three-month period ended June 30, 
   2025   2024 
   $   $ 
   (dollars in thousands) 
Remittance revenue excluding TNG Asia & GEA   5,226    4,816 
           
Global Airtime Revenue   1,996    2,389 
Indonesian Airtime Revenue   1,496    2,475 
Total Revenue excluding TNG Asia & GEA   8,718    9,680 

 

Total remittance revenues excluding TNG Asia and GEA, i.e., remittance revenues contributed by Tranglo, were US$5.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 8.3% year-over-year. The increase in remittance revenue was mainly due to a 6.9% increase in TPV. Tranglo’s overall take rate improved to 0.36% in the second quarter of 2025 from 0.35% in the same period of 2024.
   
Currenc’s global airtime transfer revenues were US$2.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, representing a year-over-year decrease of 16.7%. The growing availability of free Wi-Fi in Southeast Asian countries, especially Malaysia and Indonesia, has led to declining demand for Malaysia-Indonesia airtime transfers, resulting in a decline in global airtime business in the second quarter of 2025. As Currenc expects this trend to continue in Southeast Asian markets, the Company’s management plans to deemphasize airtime transfer and reallocate its resources and capital to expand its new AI product offerings.
   
Total direct costs of revenue were US$5.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, representing a year-over-year decrease of 24.1%.

 

 

1 Currenc divested TNG Asia and GEA in August 2024 and July 2024, respectively. As such, from the fourth quarter of 2024 onward, only Tranglo’s (digital remittance and global airtime transfer businesses) and WalletKu’s (Indonesian airtime business) results will be consolidated and reported in the Company’s financial statements.

 

 

 

 

The direct payout rate for Tranglo’s remittance business was 0.14% for the second quarter of 2025, a slight increase compared to 0.12% for the same period of 2024. Currenc’s overall gross profit margin ratio for the second quarter of 2025 was 37.2%, compared to 34.5% for the same period of 2024.
   
Total operating expenses increased to US$7.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 from US$5.1 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly due to expenses of US$2.2 million in recognition of the incentive shares granted to employees upon the completion of the INFINT SPAC merger.

 

As Currenc divested TNG Asia and GEA in August and July 2024, respectively, its operating costs now reflect the operating costs of Tranglo, WalletKu and the Company’s headquarters only. Also, with the rollout of its new AI initiatives, Currenc incurred US$1.0 million in operating costs related to these new businesses in the second quarter of 2025. The new AI businesses are expected to contribute incrementally to revenues and positively impact EBITDA in the near future.

 

Tranglo’s operating costs for the second quarter of 2025 were US$3.2 million, representing a slight decrease of 3% from US$3.3 million in the same period of 2024.
   
WalletKu’s operating costs were US$0.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to US$0.2 million for the same period of 2024.
   
Professional fees and director fees were US$0.7 million for the second quarter of 2025.

 

Other income totaled US$0.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, mainly contributed by Tranglo.
   
Net loss was US$5.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by the net loss of US$2.2 million incurred by headquarters and adjustments.

Headquarters expenses and adjustments recorded an EBIT loss of US$4.5 million, mainly contributed by:

 

US$2.2 million in “Operating Expenses” in recognition of the incentive shares granted upon completion of the de-SPAC merger.

US$0.7 million for professional fees.
US$0.4 million for amortization of intangible assets (Tranglo).

Management Comments

 

“Amid intensifying competition driven by the continued rise in digital remittance demand, we maintained healthy momentum in our remittance business, with TPV rising 6.9% year-over-year to US$1.46 billion and our overall take rate improving to 0.36% in the second quarter of 2025,” said Alex Kong, Founder and Executive Chairman of Currenc. “As we continue to deemphasize lower-value airtime services and reallocate resources, we are scaling our AI product offerings to deepen engagement with financial-institution clients, broaden our addressable market, and extend our remittance reach across additional high-volume corridors. Looking ahead, we will pair consistent remittance execution with an expanding AI portfolio to build a more diverse, healthier revenue mix and create sustainable long-term value for our shareholders.”

 

Ronnie Hui, Chief Executive Officer of Currenc, commented, “Our remittance business performed solidly in the second quarter, delivering an 8.3% year-over-year revenue increase that largely offset the revenue decline from our lower-margin airtime transfers business. Tranglo and WalletKu together delivered positive EBITDA of US$0.53 million, while disciplined execution kept Tranglo’s payout rate steady at 0.14%. We also enhanced cost management, reducing direct costs by 24.1% year over year and expanding our gross margin to 37.2%. Operating expenses increased to US$7.6 million, primarily due to a one-time incentive share expense of US$2.2 million related to the de-SPAC merger and a US$1.0 million investment in our AI initiatives. These new AI businesses are expected to generate incremental revenue and become EBITDA-accretive in the near term. Looking ahead, we will continue to streamline our cost structure, capitalize on our remittance strengths, and scale AI-driven growth to boost our profitability and shareholder value.”

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, it uses EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as described below, to understand and evaluate its core operating performance. This non-GAAP financial measure, which may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, is presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

 

 

 

EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Currenc believes that EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results. This non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the impact of items that Currenc does not consider indicative of the performance of its business. While Currenc believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating its business, this information should be considered supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

 

Entry into Share Purchase Agreement for Debt Settlement

 

On August 6, 2025, Currenc Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with its founder and chairman of the board of directors, Alexander King Ong Kong, and its largest shareholder, Regal Planet Limited, an entity controlled by Mr. Kong (together, the “Creditors”), to settle outstanding indebtedness owed by the Company and/or its subsidiaries to the Creditors in an aggregate amount of approximately US$54,550,612.30 (the “Outstanding Indebtedness”).

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Creditors an aggregate of 35,653,995 ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at a price of US$1.53 per share, in full and complete satisfaction, discharge, and settlement of the Outstanding Indebtedness. The number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to each Creditor is set forth in the Purchase Agreement and is based on the amount of indebtedness held by each Creditor.

 

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including the accuracy of representations and warranties, performance of covenants, and, importantly, the receipt of shareholder approval for the issuance of the Ordinary Shares and the consummation of the transactions. The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such shareholder approval by no later than September 30, 2025, and, if not obtained by such date, to convene additional shareholder meetings at 30-day intervals until approval is obtained.

 

The Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will be issued in reliance on exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Ordinary Shares will be subject to customary legends for restricted securities purchased in a private placement as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the parties. The issuance of the Ordinary Shares will fully satisfy and discharge all claims of the Creditors with respect to the Outstanding Indebtedness.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report on Form 6-K.

 

On August 8, 2025, the Company issued a press release regarding the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 with this Form 6-K.

 

Disclosure of Adverse Judgment in Singapore Litigation

 

On August 8, 2025, the Company provides the following update regarding previously disclosed litigation in Singapore involving Seamless Group Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Seamless”), and certain of the Company’s affiliates.

 

Background of the Litigation

 

On September 19, 2024, Ripple Markets APAC Pte. Ltd. (“RMA”) commenced proceedings in the General Division of the High Court of the Republic of Singapore (Case No. OC 628) against GEA Limited (“GEA”), Alexander Kong King Ong, Regal Planet Limited, and Seamless (collectively, the “Defendants”). RMA’s claims relate to (i) an alleged breach by GEA of a Master XRP Commitment to Sell Agreement dated September 12, 2022 (the “CTS Agreement”), and (ii) alleged breaches by the other Defendants, including Seamless, of a Deed of Guarantee dated May 25, 2023 (the “Guarantee”), which was executed in favor of RMA to guarantee GEA’s obligations under the CTS Agreement.

 

 

 

 

RMA seeks, on a joint and several basis, payment of US$23,952,480.00 and late payment charges, in connection with GEA’s alleged purchase of a digital asset (XRP) under four separate invoices.

 

The Defendants, including Seamless, have denied liability and raised various defenses, including that RMA breached a Cooperation Agreement and/or a collateral contract, that the CTS Agreement is void for illegality, and that the Guarantee was entered into under economic duress and/or misrepresentation. GEA has also filed a counterclaim against RMA for damages and a declaration that the CTS Agreement should be rescinded.

 

Summary Judgment and Appeals

 

On December 23, 2024, RMA applied for summary judgment. On April 17, 2025, the Singapore High Court granted RMA’s application for summary judgment and allowed in part the Defendants’ application to amend their defense and counterclaim. The Court ordered GEA to pay costs of S$23,500 and the other Defendants, including Seamless, to pay costs of S$7,000 on a joint and several basis, as well as RMA’s disbursements of S$27,514.53 on a joint and several basis (the “Summons Costs Orders”).

 

The Defendants appealed these decisions. On August 6, 2025, the Honourable Justice Valerie Thean dismissed both appeals and ordered the Defendants to pay costs of S$20,000 (inclusive of disbursements) on a joint and several basis (the “Appeals Costs Orders”).

 

Current Status and Consequences

 

As of the date of this filing, the Defendants, including Seamless, are jointly and severally liable for the principal sum of US$23,952,480.00 and late payment charges (to be assessed at the date of full payment), as well as the Summons Costs Orders and Appeals Costs Orders described above.

 

The Defendants have 14 days from August 6, 2025 (i.e., until August 20, 2025) to make a final appeal to the appellate court. GEA’s counterclaim against RMA remains pending and has not yet been decided. A case conference is scheduled for August 19, 2025, at which the Court will provide further directions for the proceedings.

 

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the judgment and continues to consider its options, including the possibility of further appeal. The Company is currently in discussions with GEA and its equity holders to determine whether GEA, as the primary obligor under the original obligations to RMA, or its equity holders may satisfy the judgment without recourse to Seamless or the Company. The Company will provide further updates as appropriate.

This Report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement and the outcome of litigation. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties.

No person or entity other than such Creditor has any right, title, or interest in or to such portion of the Outstanding Indebtedness.

 

(e) Accredited Investor. Such Creditor is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

 

(f) Ability to Evaluate. Such Creditor has sufficient knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial matters, business matters and investments to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated hereby, has evaluated the merits and risks of such investment and understands the merits and risks of such an investment. Such Creditor has independently determined the acceptability of an investment in the Company.

 

(g) Additional Information. Such Creditor agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(h) Indefinite Hold Period. Such Creditor understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment for an indefinite period of time because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Such Creditor agrees that it will not offer to sell or otherwise transfer any of the Securities unless a registration statement with respect to the applicable Securities has become effective under the Securities Act or the Company has been furnished with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that such registration is not required.

 

4

 

 

(i) Access to Information. Such Creditor has had every opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company and its officers and representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the purchase of the Securities, the current and planned operations and business of the Company and the risks associated therewith, and all of such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of such Creditor. Such Creditor has had access to such information concerning the Company and the Securities as it deems necessary to enable such Creditor to make an informed investment decision concerning the purchase of the Securities.

 

(j) No Determination of Fairness. Such Creditor is aware that no federal or state agency has made any findings or determinations as to the fairness involved in this investment, nor any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities as an investment.

 

(k) Ability to Withstand Loss of Investment. Such Creditor acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is suitable and consistent with such Creditor’s investment program and that such Creditor’s financial position enables it to bear the risks of this investment including, but not limited to, a total loss of such investment.

 

(l) Absence of Public Market; Private Placement; No Action Taken to Invalidate Private Placement. Such Creditor understands that the offer and sale of the Securities have not been reviewed, approved or disapproved by the Commission or any other state or federal governmental entity. Such Creditor understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on Section 4(a)(2), which is an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as well as exemptions from the registration requirements of state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Creditor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Creditor set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Creditor to acquire the Securities in compliance with such laws. Such Creditor has not taken any action that would result in the offering contemplated by this Agreement being treated as a public offering rather than a valid private placement under the law.

 

(m) Intent. Such Creditor is acquiring the Securities solely for such Creditor’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities. Such Creditor understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of such Creditor and of the other representations made by such Creditor in this Agreement. Such Creditor understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions.

Such Creditor agrees: (A) that such Creditor will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Securities or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, unless the transaction is registered under the Securities Act and complies with the requirements of all applicable state securities laws, or the transaction is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable requirements of state securities laws; (B) that the Securities shall be held in book entry form and the Company’s records shall be annotated to reflect a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (C) that the Company and its affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Securities, except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

 

(o) SEC Reports. Such Creditor acknowledges that it has had access to and has reviewed the following (collectively, the “Disclosure Documents”): (i) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, including, without limitation, the section captioned “Risk Factors” regarding risk factors associated with an investment in the Company, (ii) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, (iii) the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since January 1, 2025 and (iv) the Company’s Current Reports on Form 6-K since June 30, 2025 including, in each case, any amendments thereto, all as filed with the SEC.

Such Creditor has relied solely upon its own advisers with respect to the tax consequences of this investment.

 

(r) Information Provided by Creditor. All information which such Creditor has provided to the Company concerning such Creditor, its financial position and its knowledge of financial and business matters is truthful, accurate, correct, and complete as of the date set forth herein and shall be as of the Closing Date. Such Creditor undertakes to promptly inform the Company of any changes in such information or any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties made by Such Creditor herein arising prior to the Closing Date.

Currenc Group’s Founder and Executive Chairman to Convert $54.6 Million in Loans to Equity


Strengthening Capital Structure and Signaling Confidence in Growth

 

Singapore, August 8, 2025 (Globe Newswire) — Currenc Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CURR) (“Currenc” or the “Company”), a fintech pioneer empowering financial institutions worldwide with artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, today announced that it has entered into definitive transaction documents to effect a $54.6 million Shares-for-Debt Transaction with its Founder and Executive Chairman, Mr. Alex Kong, and Regal Planet Limited (“Regal Planet”), the Company’s controlling shareholder, which is also controlled by Mr. Kong.

 

Under the terms of the definitive transaction documents, the Company will issue an aggregate of 35,653,995 ordinary shares at a price per share equal to $1.53, which was the official Nasdaq closing price as of immediately prior to the execution of the definitive transaction documents, to Mr. Kong and Regal Planet to settle in full the current outstanding related party loans, which total approximately $54,550,612.30, based on the updated balance as of July 22, 2025. This move will completely eliminate the debt owed to Mr. Kong and Regal Planet, which originated under various loan agreements between Currenc and its subsidiaries, Mr. Kong, and Regal Planet, from the Company’s balance sheet, powerfully aligning the Chairman’s interests with those of all shareholders.

 

“This transaction achieves two critical goals: it significantly strengthens our capital structure, and just as importantly, underscores my profound confidence in Currenc’s long-term growth prospects,” said Mr. Kong. “By personally reinvesting over $54 million of loans into equity, I am doubling down on the shared vision I hold with our management, employees, and fellow shareholders, and sharpening our focus on executing our mission to empower financial institutions globally with our AI-driven solutions.”

 

The issuance of shares will be made in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the shares issued are subject to applicable restrictions on resale.
