| ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Cboe Global Markets, Inc. is a leading global markets operator with a long history of innovation in equity derivatives. Since launching the world's first listed options exchange in 1973, Cboe has pioneered landmark products, including the introduction of S&P 500® index options and the creation of the VIX® Index, the world's leading gauge of market volatility, reshaping how investors manage risk and access opportunity. Today, Cboe operates derivatives, equities, and FX markets, providing trading, clearing, and investment solutions for customers worldwide. Cboe’s subsidiaries include the largest options exchange and the third largest equities exchange operator in the U.S. In addition, the Company operates Cboe Europe Equities (Cboe Europe and Cboe NL equities exchanges), one of the largest equities exchanges by value traded in Europe, and owns Cboe Clear Europe, a leading pan-European equities clearinghouse, BIDS Holdings, which owns a leading block-trading ATS by volume in the U.S. and provides block-trading services with Cboe market operators in Europe and Canada, Cboe Australia, an operator of a regulated stock exchange in Australia, Cboe Clear U.S., an operator of a regulated clearinghouse, and Cboe Canada, a recognized Canadian securities exchange. Cboe subsidiaries also serve collectively as a leading market globally for exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) listings and trading. The Company is headquartered in Chicago with offices in Amsterdam, Belfast, Hong Kong, Kansas City, London, Manila, New York, Washington D.C., Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, and Toronto. In October 2025, the Company announced the decision to market Cboe Australia and Cboe Canada for sale. On April 20, 2026, the Company’s Executive Committee of the Board of Directors approved the sale of Cboe Australia and Cboe Canada to a single buyer. On April 22, 2026, the Company announced a definitive agreement to sell its Cboe Australia and Cboe Canada businesses to TMX Group Limited ("TMX"), a leading market operator, for approximately $300 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals. The sales of Cboe Australia and Cboe Canada are expected to close separately, each after required approvals have been obtained. The Company expects the sale of Cboe Australia to close in the third quarter of 2026. Upon closing, the Company will provide transition services support for a limited time. On May 1, 2026, the Company announced additional actions related to its strategic realignment by optimizing resource allocation across the organization, which it expects to be substantially completed by the end of 2026. This follows a comprehensive strategic review of the Company’s global business operations that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2025 and is part of a broader effort to sharpen strategic focus and allocate resources more effectively. Basis of Presentation These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP as established by the FASB for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates based upon historical experience, observance of trends, information available from outside sources, and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or assumptions. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. Segment Information The Company operates five reportable business segments: Options, North American Equities, Europe and Asia Pacific, Futures, and Global FX, which is reflective of how the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews and operates the business. See Note 14 (“Segment Reporting”) for more information. Update to Significant Accounting Policies There have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed for the Company for the periods presented, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU provides optional relief by providing entities with a practical expedient and private companies an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. For public entities, the update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted the update for the condensed consolidated financial statements issued for the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not elect the practical expedient and the update's policy election for private companies is not applicable to the Company. Adoption of ASU 2025-05 does not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no other applicable material accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Issued, not yet Adopted In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02 – Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818). ASU 2026-02 provides recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for all entities that generate, purchase, or receive environmental credits or have a regulatory compliance obligation that may be settled with environmental credits. The amendments will be effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company expects to adopt the update for the annual financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2028, and is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2026-02 may have on the consolidated financial statement presentation and disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 eliminates the traditional stages for internal use software (preliminary, development, post-implementation) used to determine when to capitalize costs. Instead, capitalization begins when both management has authorized and committed funding for the project and it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. The amendments will be effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company expects to adopt the update for the annual financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2028, and is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-06 may have on the consolidated financial statement presentation and disclosures. On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted new Climate Disclosure Rules, which would have required companies to publish information that describes the climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on a company’s business or consolidated financial statements. The final rules would have required companies to disclose material climate-related risks, activities to mitigate or adapt to such risks, information about the companies’ boards of directors’ oversight of climate-related risks and management’s role in managing climate-related risks, and information on any climate-related targets or goals that are material to the companies’ business, results of operations or financial condition. On March 15, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted an administrative stay of the SEC’s final Climate Disclosure Rules, in response to legal challenges unaffiliated with the Company. On March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of its Climate Disclosure Rules. Subsequently, on May 29, 2026, the SEC issued a proposed rule to rescind the Climate Disclosure Rules in their entirety. The Company will continue to monitor updates to the Climate Disclosure Rules and potential impacts on the consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expenses for public entities. For public entities, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company expects to adopt the update for the annual financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2027, and is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on the consolidated financial statement presentation and disclosures. There were no other recent applicable material accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet adopted as of June 30, 2026.
