CHICAGO, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2022.

“Cboe delivered strong second quarter results to close out an exceptional first half of 2022. Activity across our ecosystem—cash, data and derivatives—was robust,” said Edward T. Tilly, Cboe Global Markets Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Many of our newer initiatives, like the extension of trading hours for SPX and VIX Options to nearly 24 hours-a-day, five days-a-week and the addition of Tuesday and Thursday expirations for SPX Weekly options, have outperformed our early expectations in 2022, further accelerating the strong growth across our core businesses. With the closing of the ErisX and NEO acquisitions in the second quarter, the entire Cboe team remains focused on extracting even greater value from the ecosystem we have created. The digital asset market environment has changed dramatically since we closed the ErisX transaction on May 2nd, which resulted in an accounting adjustment. We believe that the $220 million book carrying value reflects the reality of the market today, but in no way changes our enthusiasm for the digital asset space. We are intently focused on integrating our platforms and positioning Cboe for its next wave of growth in the quarters ahead.”

“In the second quarter, Cboe produced record-setting revenue results as overall net revenues grew 21% year-over-year,” said Brian N. Schell, Cboe Global Markets Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. “The benefits of the Cboe flywheel were apparent given the strong year-over-year growth from each category during the quarter, with net revenues from derivatives markets1 growing 30%, data and access solutions1 up 20%, and cash and spot markets1 growing 7%. Moving forward, we are increasing our 2022 total organic net revenue growth2 expectations, targeting 9% to 11% growth, up from our prior guidance range of 5% to 7%. In addition, our 2022 organic net revenue growth2 expectations for our Data and Access Solutions business are increasing to 10% to 13%, up from our prior guidance range of 8% to 11%. The upgraded guidance is a testament to not only the strength of the first half results, but the durability we expect to see in the revenue base moving forward. We look forward to building on the first half momentum with continued investment and integration across the Cboe platform.”

*All comparisons are second quarter 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

 (1)A full reconciliation of our non-GAAP results to our GAAP results is included in the attached tables. See “Non-GAAP Information” in the accompanying financial tables.

(2) Specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the company’s organic growth guidance, adjusted operating expenses guidance and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings guidance are not available. The company believes that there is uncertainty and unpredictability with respect to certain of its GAAP measures, primarily related to acquisition-related revenues and expenses that would be required to reconcile to GAAP revenues less costs of revenues, GAAP operating expenses and GAAP effective tax rate, which preclude the company from providing accurate guidance on certain forward-looking GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations. The company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the company’s organic growth, adjusted operating expenses and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.

  • Total revenues less cost of revenues (referred to as “net revenue”) of $424.1 million increased 21 percent, compared to $350.6 million in the prior-year period, reflecting increases in net transaction and clearing fees1 and access and capacity fees. Inorganic net revenue1 in the second quarter of 2022 was $9.9 million.
  • Total operating expenses were $661.5 million versus $160.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $500.9 million, primarily due to the impairment of goodwill recognized in the Digital reporting unit, driven by negative events and trends in the broader digital asset environment. Adjusted operating expenses1 of $157.0 million increased 22 percent compared to $128.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the acquisitions of Cboe Asia Pacific, ErisX, and NEO, as well as an increase in salaries, wages, and bonuses resulting in higher compensation and benefits.
  • The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 28.2 percent compared with 41.1 percent in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease is primarily due to the remeasurement of UK deferred tax liabilities following the UK tax rate increase from 19 percent to 25 percent enacted during the second quarter of 2021 and effective April 1, 2023. The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings1 was 28.4 percent compared with 30.1 percent in last year’s second quarter. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to changes in income tax reserves in the second quarter of 2021.
  • Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2022 decreased 278 percent to $(1.74). Adjusted diluted EPS1 of $1.67 increased 21 percent compared to 2021’s second quarter results.

Discussion of Results by Business Segment1:

Options:

  • Options net revenue of $235.3 million was up $56.7 million, or 32 percent, from the second quarter of 2021, due to double-digit increases in net transaction and clearing fees2, access and capacity fees, and market data. Net transaction and clearing fees increased primarily as a result of a 46 percent increase in Index options trading volumes versus the second quarter of 2021, along with a 7 percent increase in Index options revenue per contract (“RPC”) for the quarter. Access and capacity fees and market data fees were each 29 percent higher than second quarter 2021.
  • Net transaction and clearing fees2 increased $54.6 million, or 41 percent, reflecting an 18 percent increase in total options average daily volume (“ADV”) and a 21 percent increase in total options RPC compared to the second quarter 2021. The increase in total options RPC was due to a mix shift, with Index options representing a higher percentage of total options volume. The RPC for Index options increased 7 percent as higher-priced SPX options accounted for a higher percentage of Index options volume.
  • Cboe’s Options business had total market share of 33.2 percent for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 30.4 percent in the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting an increase in Cboe’s multi-listed options market share for the quarter of 28.3 percent compared to 26.8 percent in the second quarter of 2021.

North American (N.A.) Equities:

  • N.A. Equities net revenue of $92.7 million was up $3.5 million, or 4 percent, primarily due to higher access and capacity fees and transaction and clearing fees. Year-over-year declines in industry market data offset some of the growth in the segment. Transaction and clearing fees were impacted by higher N.A. equities industry volumes as compared to the second quarter of 2021. Net capture was flat in the second quarter of 2022, when comparing year over year.
  • Cboe U.S. Equities exchanges had market share of 13.6 percent for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 14.3 percent in the second quarter of 2021, negatively impacted by pricing changes that drove a higher net capture.

Europe and Asia Pacific (APAC):

  • Europe and APAC net revenue of $49.9 million increased by 20 percent, reflecting growth in European equities and clearing, and the addition of Cboe Asia Pacific in July 2021, which contributed $8.2 million in net revenue. European Equities average daily notional value (“ADNV”) for the overall market was up 12 percent during the quarter and ADNV traded on Cboe European Equities was €10.9 billion, up 49 percent from last year’s second quarter. Net capture decreased 11 percent for the quarter, reflecting a mix shift with the strongest gains coming in Lit market share, outpacing the growth in higher-capture Cboe BIDS Europe and Periodic Auction services, as well as from the impact of volume pricing tiers with higher volumes and higher market share.
  • For the second quarter of 2022, Cboe European Equities had 23.2 percent market share, up from 17.4 percent in the second quarter of 2021, as a result of positive momentum across all orderbooks, with a particular strength in Lit markets and record Cboe BIDS Europe market share.

Futures:

  • Futures net revenue of $29.6 million increased $2.2 million, or 8 percent, due to increases in net transaction and clearing fees2, access and capacity fees, and market data.
  • Net transaction and clearing fees2 increased $0.8 million, or 4 percent, reflecting slight upticks in both ADV and RPC.

Global FX:

  • Global FX net revenue of $16.6 million increased 20 percent, primarily as a result of higher net transaction and clearing fees2. ADNV traded on the Cboe FX platform was $39.6 billion for the quarter, up 22 percent compared to last year’s second quarter and net capture per one million dollars traded was $2.71 for the quarter, flat compared to $2.71 in the second quarter of 2021.
  • Cboe FX market share was 17.0 percent for the quarter compared to 16.3 percent in last year’s second quarter.

 

(1) The Digital segment is not further discussed as results were not material given its establishment during the second quarter of 2022 as a result of the ErisX acquisition on May 2, 2022, outside of the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2022.

2022 Fiscal Year Financial Guidance

Cboe provided guidance for the 2022 fiscal year as noted below.

  • Organic net revenue growth1 is expected to be in the range of 9 to 11 percentage points in 2022, up from previous guidance of 5 to 7 percentage points.
  • Reaffirmed revenue from acquisitions held less than a year1 is expected to contribute total net revenue growth in a range of 2 to 3 percentage points in 2022.
  • Organic net revenue1 from Data and Access Solutions is now expected to increase by approximately 10 to 13 percent in 2022, from a base of $419 million in 2021, up from previous guidance of 8 to 11 percent.
  • Adjusted operating expenses1 in 2022 are now expected to be in the range of $659 to $667 million, from a base of $531 million in 2021, up from previous guidance of $617 to $625 million. The updated 2022 guidance considers incremental investment spend in technology and headcount to support Cboe’s numerous growth initiatives, deals closed during 2021 but not fully reflected in the 2021 cost base, recent acquisitions of NEO and ErisX and increases in core expenses. The guidance excludes the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets of $125 million; the company plans to reflect the exclusion of this amount in its non-GAAP reconciliation.1
  • Reaffirmed depreciation and amortization expense for 2022, which is included in adjusted operating expenses above, is expected to be in the range of $40 to $44 million, excluding the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets.
  • Reaffirmed the effective tax rate1 on adjusted earnings for the full year 2022 is expected to be in the range of 27.5 to 29.5 percent. Significant changes in trading volume, expenses, tax laws or rates and other items could materially impact this expectation.
  • Reaffirmed capital expenditures for 2022 are expected to be in the range of $47 to $52 million.

 

(1) Specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the company’s organic and inorganic growth guidance, adjusted operating expenses guidance and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings guidance are not available. The company believes that there is uncertainty and unpredictability with respect to certain of its GAAP measures, primarily related to acquisition-related revenues and expenses that would be required to reconcile to GAAP revenues less costs of revenues, GAAP operating expenses and GAAP effective tax rate, which preclude the company from providing accurate guidance on certain forward-looking GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations. The company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the company’s organic growth, adjusted operating expenses and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.

Capital Management

At June 30, 2022, the company had adjusted cash1 of $349.1 million. Total debt as of June 30, 2022 was $1,959.2 million.

The company paid cash dividends of $51.2 million, or $0.48 per share, during the second quarter of 2022 and utilized $15.6 million to repurchase 147 thousand shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $106.12 per share. As of June 30, 2022, the company had approximately $233.3 million of availability remaining under its existing share repurchase authorizations.

Non-GAAP Information

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with GAAP, Cboe Global Markets has disclosed certain non-GAAP measures of operating performance. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP measures provided in this press release include net transaction and clearing fees, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, organic net revenue, inorganic net revenue, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net (loss) income allocated to common stockholders and adjusted diluted earnings per share, effective tax rate on adjusted earnings, adjusted cash, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release, including adjusted operating income, organic net revenue and adjusted operating expenses, provide additional and comparative information to assess trends in our core operations and a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by management are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results.

Organic net revenue, inorganic net revenue, organic non-transaction revenue and organic net revenue guidance: These are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for the impact of our acquisitions for the period or guidance, as applicable. Management believes the organic net revenue growth and guidance measures provide users with supplemental information regarding the company’s ongoing and future potential revenue performances and trends by presenting revenue growth and guidance excluding the impact of the acquisitions. Revenues from acquisitions that have been owned for at least one year are considered organic and are no longer excluded from organic net revenue from either period for comparative purposes.

Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets: We amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with various acquisitions. Amortization of intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. As such, if intangible asset amortization is included in performance measures, it is more difficult to assess the day-to-day operating performance of the businesses, the relative operating performance of the businesses between periods and the earnings power of the company. Therefore, we believe performance measures excluding intangible asset amortization expense provide investors with an additional basis for comparison across accounting periods.

Acquisition-related expenses: From time to time, we have pursued acquisitions, which have resulted in expenses which would not otherwise have been incurred in the normal course of the company’s business operations. These expenses include integration costs, as well as legal, due diligence, impairment charges, and other third-party transaction costs. The frequency and the amount of such expenses vary significantly based on the size, timing and complexity of the transaction. Accordingly, we exclude these costs for purposes of calculating non-GAAP measures which provide an additional analysis of Cboe’s ongoing operating performance or comparisons in Cboe’s performance between periods.

The tables below show the reconciliation of each financial measure from GAAP to non-GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of those items detailed below and are referred to as adjusted financial measures.

(1) This amount includes professional fees and outside services and impairment charges  related to the company’s acquisitions.

(2) This amount represents the investment establishment costs related to the company’s investment in 7RIDGE Investments 3 LP, which acquired

Trading Technologies, Inc.

(3) This amount represents the gain on the Company’s investment in Eris Digital Holdings LLC (“ErisX”) in connection with the full acquisition of ErisX.

(4) This amount represents the forgiveness of a PPP (“Paycheck Protection Program”) loan previously held by ErisX.

(5) This amount represents the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to the company’s acquisitions.

(6) This amount represents the impairment of ErisX goodwill.

(7) This amount represents the impairment of investment related to the Company’s minority investment in American Financial Exchange, LLC.

(8) This amount represents the tax reserves related to Section 199 matters.

(9) The company sponsors deferred compensation plans held in a trust. The expenses or income related to the deferred compensation plans are

included in “Compensation and benefits” ($1.9 million and $1.1 million in expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively,

and $2.5 million and $1.4 million in expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively), and are directly offset by deferred

compensation income, expenses and dividends included within “Other income, net” ($1.9 million and $1.1 million in income, expense and dividends

in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.5 million and $1.4 million in income, expense and dividends in the six months

ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively), on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The deferred compensation plans’ expenses are

not excluded from “adjusted operating expenses” and do not have an impact on “Income before income taxes.”

(10) Adjusted operating margin represents adjusted operating income divided by adjusted revenue less cost of revenue.

EBITDA Reconciliations

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are widely used non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA divided by revenues less cost of revenues (net revenue). It is presented as supplemental information that the company believes is useful to investors to evaluate its results because it excludes certain items that are not directly related to the company’s core operating performance. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back to EBITDA acquisition-related expenses, gain on investment, loan forgiveness, investment establishment costs, goodwill impairment, and impairment of investment. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as substitutes either for net income, as an indicator of the company’s operating performance, or for cash flow, as a measure of the company’s liquidity. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.
