CHICAGO, IL – February 3, 2023 - Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2022 and full year.

“2022 was a year of substantial progress at Cboe as we continued to build out our global network, while delivering record financial results. Our accomplishments in 2022 have laid a strong foundation and, as we enter our 50th year of business, we are more optimistic than ever about the future,” said Edward T. Tilly, Cboe Global Markets Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are focused on accelerating our momentum in three key areas of our business – Derivatives, Data and Access Solutions and Digital. Furthermore, organic growth efforts aimed at deepening our geographic reach and extending market access to our unique set of products and services around the globe will be critical for us. I want to thank the entire team at Cboe for the tremendous accomplishments produced in 2022, and I look forward to an outstanding year ahead.”

“Cboe reported a very strong fourth quarter to cap a record year for the company. I could not be more pleased with the consistent progress we showed as a firm throughout 2022,” said Brian N. Schell, Cboe Global Markets Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. “During 2022 our Derivatives business net revenues grew an impressive 28%, Cash and Spot Market net revenues were up 3%, and Data and Access Solutions net revenues increased by 16%. Following our record year of revenue generation, we anticipate organic total net revenue growth2 will average 7-9% in 2023, above our medium-term guidance range of 5-7%. We anticipate Data and Access Solutions organic net revenue growth2 will average an attractive 7-10%, in line with our medium-term expectations. While we will be making continued investments in our business to drive future durable growth, we anticipate delivering long-term shareholder value through an attractive capital return policy. 2022 provided us with many great opportunities to build upon in the year ahead, and we look forward to delivering on our objectives in 2023.”

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

(1)A full reconciliation of our non-GAAP results to our GAAP (“Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”) 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 cost 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 $457.1 million increased 17 percent, compared to $390.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting increases in derivatives markets and data and access solutions. Inorganic net revenue1 in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $5.1 million.
Total operating expenses were $206.6 million versus $169.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $36.7 million, while adjusted operating expenses¹ of $176.6 million increased 28 percent compared to $137.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions of Cboe Digital (formerly ErisX) and NEO, as well as higher compensation and benefits, travel and promotional, and technology support services expenses.
The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 32.3 percent compared with 21.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily due to releases of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits in 2021. The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings1 was 27.4 percent compared with 24.8 percent in last year’s fourth quarter. The higher effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to favorable non-recurring adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased 3 percent to $1.49 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted diluted EPS1 of $1.80 increased 6 percent compared to 2021’s fourth quarter results.

Discussion of Results by Business Segment1:

Options:

Options net revenue of $273.2 million was up $70.7 million, or 35 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2021. The growth was driven by double-digit increases in net transaction and clearing fees2, access and capacity fees, and market data. Net transaction and clearing fees2 increased primarily as a result of a 55 percent increase in index options trading volumes versus the fourth quarter of 2021, along with a 4 percent increase in index options revenue per contract (“RPC”) for the quarter. Access and capacity fees were 15 percent higher than fourth quarter 2021 and market data fees were 34 percent higher than fourth quarter 2021.
Net transaction and clearing fees2 increased $65.9 million, or 41 percent, reflecting a 15 percent increase in total options average daily volume (“ADV”) and a 25 percent increase in total options RPC compared to the fourth 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 4 percent as higher-priced SPX options accounted for a higher percentage of index options volume.
Cboe’s Options exchanges had total market share of 34.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 31.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting an increase in Cboe’s multi-listed options market share for the quarter of 28.5 percent compared to 27.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021.

North American (N.A.) Equities:

N.A. Equities net revenue of $96.4 million was up $4.8 million, or 5 percent. The increase was primarily due to a $5.5 million fourth quarter net revenue contribution from the 2022 acquisition of NEO and higher access and capacity fees, partially offset by lower transaction and clearing fees and industry market data revenue.
Net transaction and clearing fees2 decreased by $1.2 million, or 4 percent, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower U.S. Equities off-exchange revenue, a result of lower volumes and slightly lower net capture and market share trends versus the fourth quarter of 2021. U.S. Equities exchange revenues benefited from a 4 percent increase in U.S. Equities industry volumes, offsetting a 2 percent decline in net capture.
Cboe’s U.S. Equities exchanges had market share of 13.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 13.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021. U.S. Equities off-exchange market share was 21.5 percent versus 22.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021. Canadian Equities market share rose to 13.6 percent as compared to 3.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021 given the inclusion of NEO.

Europe and Asia Pacific (APAC):

Europe and APAC net revenue of $44.2 million decreased by 15 percent, reflecting continued currency headwinds. On a constant currency basis2, net revenues were $49.8 million, down 4 percent on a year-over-year basis. European Equities average daily notional value (“ADNV”) traded on Cboe European Equities was €10.0 billion, up 14 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, outperforming a 9 percent decline in industry market volumes. Net capture decreased 13 percent for the quarter, reflecting a mix shift with the strongest market share gains coming in Lit markets, outpacing the growth in higher-capture Cboe BIDS Europe and Periodic Auction services, as well as greater industry volume declines in higher-priced block activity relative to Lit markets.  
For the fourth quarter of 2022, Cboe European Equities had 24.9 percent market share, up from 19.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021, as a result of positive momentum across all orderbooks, making Cboe the largest stock exchange and block trading venue in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Futures:

Futures net revenue of $26.8 million decreased $3.1 million, or 10 percent, due to a decline in net transaction and clearing fees2, offset slightly by an increase in market data fees.
Net transaction and clearing fees2 decreased $3.7 million, reflecting a 16 percent decline in volumes during the quarter.

Global FX:

Global FX net revenue of $16.9 million increased 14 percent, primarily as a result of higher net transaction and clearing fees2. ADNV traded on the Cboe FX platform was $40.8 billion for the quarter, up 21 percent compared to last year’s fourth quarter, and net capture per one million dollars traded was $2.69 for the quarter, down 3 percent compared to $2.77 in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Cboe FX market share was 18.4 percent for the quarter compared to 16.8 percent in last year’s fourth quarter, which is a quarterly record for Cboe FX. The increase was driven by the continued adoption of our diverse set of FX order types and trading protocols.

(1)The Digital and Corporate segments are not further discussed as results were not material during the fourth quarter of 2022.

(2)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.

2023 Fiscal Year Financial Guidance

Cboe provided guidance for the 2023 fiscal year as noted below.

Organic total net revenue growth1 is expected to be in the range of 7 to 9 percentage points in 2023, above medium-term organic total net revenue1 guidance expectations of 5 to 7 percentage points.
Revenue from acquisitions held less than a year1 is expected to contribute total net revenue growth of 0.5 percentage points in 2023.
Organic net revenue1 from Data and Access Solutions is expected to increase by approximately 7 to 10 percentage points in 2023, in line with medium-term guidance expectations.
Adjusted operating expenses1 in 2023 are expected to be in the range of $769 to $779 million, from a base of $652 million in 2022. The guidance excludes the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets of $112 million; the company plans to reflect the exclusion of this amount in its non-GAAP reconciliation.
Depreciation and amortization expense for 2023, which is included in adjusted operating expenses above, is expected to be in the range of $48 to $52 million, excluding the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets.
Other income (expense), net, is expected to contribute a $27 to $33 million benefit in 2023 given expected performance of minority investments.
The effective tax rate1 on adjusted earnings for the full year 2023 is expected to be in the range of 28.5 to 30.5 percent. Significant changes in trading volume, expenses, tax laws or rates and other items could materially impact this expectation.
Capital expenditures for 2023 are expected to be in the range of $60 to $66 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. Acquisitions are considered organic after 12 months of closing. 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 cost 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 December 31, 2022, the company had adjusted cash2 of $403.2 million. Total debt as of December 31, 2022 was $1,742.0 million, a decrease of $117.8 million from September 30, 2022.

The company paid cash dividends of $53.4 million, or $0.50 per share, during the fourth quarter of 2022 and utilized $15.3 million to repurchase 132 thousand shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $116.07 per share. As of December 31, 2022, the company had approximately $217.9 million of availability remaining under its existing share repurchase authorizations.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. All statements that reflect our expectations, assumptions or projections about the future other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include: the loss of our right to exclusively list and trade certain index options and futures products; economic, political and market conditions; compliance with legal and regulatory obligations; price competition and consolidation in our industry; decreases in trading or clearing volumes, market data fees or a shift in the mix of products traded on our exchanges; legislative or regulatory changes or changes in tax regimes; our ability to protect our systems and communication networks from security risks, cybersecurity risks, insider threats and unauthorized disclosure of confidential information; our ability to attract and retain skilled management and other personnel, including compensation inflation; increasing competition by foreign and domestic entities; our dependence on and exposure to risk from third parties; fluctuations to currency exchange rates; factors that impact the quality and integrity of our indices; the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic; our ability to operate our business without violating the intellectual property rights of others and the costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights; our ability to minimize the risks, including our credit and default risks, associated with operating a European clearinghouse; our ability to accommodate trading and clearing volume and transaction traffic, including significant increases, without failure or degradation of performance of our systems; misconduct by those who use our markets or our products or for whom we clear transactions; challenges to our use of open source software code; our ability to meet our compliance obligations, including managing potential conflicts between our regulatory responsibilities and our for-profit status; our ability to maintain BIDS Trading as an independently managed and operated trading venue, separate from and not integrated with our registered national securities exchanges; damage to our reputation; the ability of our compliance and risk management methods to effectively monitor and manage our risks; our ability to manage our growth and strategic acquisitions or alliances effectively; restrictions imposed by our debt obligations and our ability to make payments on or refinance our debt obligations; our ability to maintain an investment grade credit rating; impairment of our goodwill, long-lived assets, investments or intangible assets; the accuracy of our estimates and expectations; litigation risks and other liabilities; and operating a digital asset business and clearinghouse, including the expected benefits of our ErisX acquisition, subsequently rebranded to Cboe Digital, cybercrime, changes in digital asset regulation, losses due to digital asset custody, and fluctuations in digital asset prices. More detailed information about factors that may affect our actual results to differ may be found in our filings with the SEC, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and other filings made from time to time with the SEC.

We do not undertake, and we expressly disclaim, any duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

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, net revenues on a constant currency basis, and adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income allocated to common stockholders and adjusted diluted earnings per share, effective tax rate on adjusted earnings, net revenues on a constant currency basis, adjusted cash, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release 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.

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, change in contingent consideration, 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.

(1) We define constant currency net revenues as total net revenues excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements. Constant currency impact in dollars is calculated by translating the current period GAAP net revenues using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period and subtracting it by the current period GAAP net revenues.
