FXEMEDIUM SIGNALFINANCIAL10-K

FXE's sponsor fees more than doubled to $1.6 million in 2025, while the trust's interest income situation improved meaningfully, now exceeding expenses after previously running deficits.

The substantial increase in sponsor fees represents a notable cost escalation for unitholders, though this was partially offset by improved interest income performance. The trust's shift from expense deficits to interest income surpluses suggests better operational efficiency and potentially higher interest rate environments benefiting euro-denominated deposits.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

FXE showed mixed financial performance with cash and equivalents growing notably to $377 million, while current assets declined significantly to $250 million, indicating a shift in asset composition toward more liquid holdings. Operating cash flow and net income both declined modestly by approximately 20% and 14% respectively, while dividend payments were reduced proportionally. The overall picture suggests a trust adapting to changing market conditions with improved interest income dynamics despite higher sponsor costs.

ADDED
The Trust incurred $1,649,268 for the year ended December 31, 2025 in Sponsor s fees.
Although the euro is established as the common currency of the European Union, a member state s exit from the European Union may materially impact the euro s value.
The amount of interest earned by the Trust has not always exceeded expenses.
That was not the case in 2025, when interest income exceeded expenses by a significant margin; but, when expenses exceed interest income, the Trustee needs to withdraw euro from the Trust to pay the excess expenses.
International Armed Conflicts May Result in Volatility in Currency Prices that Could Adversely Affect the Fund s Performance.
As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region, including related geopolitical tensions or emergency measures may impact the value of the currencies held by the Fund.
The United States, under the Trump administration has implemented significant tariff increases on imports from a large number of countries, affecting a broad array of goods, and signaled that additional tariffs might be imposed.
These actions were part of a broader shift in trade policy that has at times been difficult to predict.
The potential for further escalation, including the imposition of new or higher tariffs with limited notice, has contributed to increased uncertainty in global markets.
In response, other countries, including the European Union and China, have announced retaliatory measures.
REMOVED
The Trust incurred $746,227 for the year ended December 31, 2024 in Sponsor s fees.
Recently, the amount of interest earned by the Trust has not exceeded the Trust s expenses; accordingly, the Trustee has been required to withdraw euro from the Trust to pay these excess expenses.
International Armed Conflicts May Result in Volatility in Currency Prices that Could Adversely Affect the Fund's Performance.
As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region, for example the current conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and Hamas and Israel in the Middle East, may impact the value of the currencies held by the Fund.
Pandemics and other public health emergencies could disrupt the global economy and adversely impact the Trust's performance.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was extensive in many aspects of society.
The outbreak resulted in a significant number of deaths, adversely impacted global commercial activity, and led to significant uncertainty and disruptions in the global economy and financial markets.
Many countries reacted by instituting quarantines, prohibitions on travel and the closure of offices, businesses, schools, retail stores and other public venues.
While restrictions have eased, it is possible that they may be reinstated in the future in response to new variants or new public health emergencies.
Such measures, as well as the general uncertainty surrounding the dangers and impact of a future public health crisis, may result in significant disruption in supply chains and economic activity.
