Admirals plans restructuring after €18.5M loss, streamlining operations, exiting Estonia license, and focusing on key growth markets globally
Admirals Group AS plans restructuring after a sharp revenue decline and a €18.5 million loss in 2025. As part of this move, its operating subsidiary, Admiral Markets AS, intends to relinquish its investment firm license issued in Estonia, signaling a strategic shift in the company’s operational focus. The group currently maintains a strong international presence and operates under multiple regulatory frameworks.
These include licenses from the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission in Cyprus, the Jordan Securities Commission in Jordan, the Capital Markets Authority in Kenya, and the Financial Services Authority in Seychelles. However, the company has decided to streamline its global footprint to improve efficiency and focus on regions with stronger growth potential.
The company emphasized that it is making these changes as part of a broader strategic decision. It stated, “the restructuring is driven by a fundamental need to optimize the group’s geographical footprint and focus on markets with clearer growth opportunities.” Moreover, it reassured clients by adding, “these changes will not affect existing group clients,” highlighting its commitment to maintaining service continuity during the transition.
Despite withdrawing its license, Estonia will continue to be an important hub for the company. The headquarters of Admirals Group will continue to operate from Tallinn, where around 60 employees are currently based. Meanwhile, Admiral Markets AS has already submitted an application to Estonia’s Financial Supervision Authority to relinquish its license, which the company expects authorities to revoke in the second quarter of 2026. In addition to these structural adjustments, the company has also launched a financial initiative aimed at its existing investors.
Admiral Markets AS confirmed that it is conducting a buyback offer for up to 13,535 Tier 2 bonds issued in December 2017. The offer will run from March 19, 2026, to April 2, 2026, with a purchase price of €103.21 per bond. Furthermore, the company noted, “we direct the buyback offer solely to current bondholders,” and expects to settle the transaction around 8 April 2026.
