FXCM Group, LLC ("FXCM Group" or “FXCM”), a leading international provider of online foreign exchange trading, CFD trading, spread betting and related services, today provided selected financial information regarding its first quarter 2017 and full year 2016 results.
“In the first quarter of this year we were able to generate positive Adjusted EBITDA of $6.7 million in a difficult environment of low volatility,” said Brendan Callan, CEO of FXCM. “This is in large part due to a substantial cost reduction effort that leaves us well positioned for profitability moving forward.”
