CHICAGO, IL – July 31, 2026 – Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026.
"Our strong second quarter results reflect the progress we’re making as we execute our growth strategy,” said Craig Donohue, Chief Executive Officer of Cboe Global Markets. “We’re investing in opportunities that will define Cboe’s future. Whether it’s expanding event contracts, growing Cboe Clear U.S., or advancing around-the-clock access to our markets, we’re executing with speed and discipline to create durable growth and value for our shareholders."
"Cboe delivered another quarter of record revenue results, producing 25 percent net revenue growth on a year-over-year basis, 50 percent diluted EPS growth, and 45 percent adjusted diluted EPS¹ growth," said Jill Griebenow, Cboe Global Markets Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. "Our Derivatives business again set a quarterly record, growing net revenue 30 percent on the back of another record quarter of index options volumes. Cash and Spot Markets net revenue rose 22 percent and our Data Vantage business grew 15 percent on a year-over-year basis. Given our strong performance through the first half of the year, we are increasing our 2026 organic total net revenue growth target² to 'mid to high teens' from 'low double-digit to mid teens', and our Data Vantage organic net revenue growth target² to 'low teens' from 'low double-digit'. We remain focused on disciplined execution as we build on this momentum."
*All comparisons are second quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
(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 net revenue growth guidance and adjusted operating expenses 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 costs that would be required to reconcile to GAAP revenues less cost of revenues, and GAAP operating expenses, 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 net revenue growth guidance and adjusted operating expenses would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above. 2026 guidance includes the anticipated business-as-usual financial contribution from Cboe Canada, which Cboe announced divestiture plans for in October 2025. 2026 guidance will be updated as further actions are announced. Given an expected third quarter sale completion for Cboe Australia, 2026 adjusted operating expenses guidance is being reduced by $11 million, and the total organic net revenue growth guidance and Data Vantage organic net revenue growth guidance excludes the 2025 and 2026 impact of Cboe Australia in its organic guidance calculation.
(3)Cboe Data Vantage refers to the company's Cboe Data Vantage business (formerly known as Data and Access Solutions). Cboe Data Vantage is subsequently referred to as Data Vantage throughout this press release.

•Total revenues less cost of revenues (referred to as “net revenue"2) of $731.6 million increased 25 percent, compared to $587.3 million in the prior-year period, a result of increases across all net revenue2 captions.
•Total operating expenses were $255.6 million versus $248.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $7.4 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in severance expense related to the company's previously announced strategic realignment and an increase in accrued bonuses related to strong company performance, partially offset by a decrease in impairment expense related to Cboe Japan in 2025. Adjusted operating expenses1 of $216.7 million were up $3.4 million compared to $213.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. These increases were primarily due to an increase in accrued bonuses related to strong company performance and an increase in travel and promotional expenses, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees when compared to the second quarter of 2025.
•The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was 28.6 percent as compared with 29.7 percent in the second quarter of 2025. The lower effective tax rate in 2026 is primarily due to reduced interest related to the resolution of uncertain tax positions with state and local taxing authorities. The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings1 was 28.5 percent, a decrease of 1.3 percentage points when compared with 29.8 percent in last year’s second quarter. The change was primarily due to reduced interest on uncertain tax positions.
•Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2026 increased 50 percent to $3.35 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted diluted EPS1 of $3.56 increased 45 percent compared to 2025 second quarter results.

Discussion of Results by Business Segment:
Options:
•Record Options net revenue of $473.9 million was up $109.1 million, or 30 percent, from the second quarter of 2025. Net transaction and clearing fees1 increased primarily as a result of a 26 percent increase in total options average daily volume ("ADV"), coupled with a 6 percent increase in total options revenue per contract ("RPC") versus the second quarter of 2025. Market data fees were 20 percent higher and access and capacity fees were 19 percent higher as compared to the second quarter of 2025.
•Net transaction and clearing fees1 increased $107.5 million, or 33 percent, reflecting a 32 percent increase in index options ADV and a 24 percent increase in multi-listed options ADV. Total options RPC increased 6 percent compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in total options RPC was due to a product mix shift, with index options representing a higher percentage of total options volume, paired with a 3 percent increase in index options RPC.

North American (N.A.) Equities:

•Net transaction and clearing fees1 increased $10.2 million, or 37 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by stronger industry volumes and improved net capture rates for on-exchange U.S. Equities exchanges versus the second quarter of 2025.
•Cboe’s U.S. Equities exchanges had market share of 9.4 percent for the second quarter of 2026, down compared to 10.5 percent in the second quarter of 2025. Cboe’s U.S. Equities off-exchange market share was 18.8 percent, up from 14.9 percent in the second quarter of 2025.
Europe and Asia Pacific (APAC):

On a constant currency basis2, net revenue was $83.0 million, up 18 percent on a year-over-year basis. European Equities average daily notional value (“ADNV”) traded on Cboe European Equities was €15.5 billion, up 13 percent compared to the second quarter of 2025 driven by stronger industry market volumes. Cboe Clear Europe net settlement volume reached 3,964.2 thousand shares, up 21 percent from the second quarter of 2025.
•For the second quarter of 2026, Cboe European Equities had 24.4 percent market share, down from 25.1 percent in the second quarter of 2025.
Futures:
•Futures net revenue of $30.6 million increased $0.5 million, or 2 percent, from the second quarter of 2025 driven by an increase in market data fees.
•Net transaction and clearing fees1 were flat when compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Global FX:
•Global FX net revenue of $27.6 million increased $4.0 million, or 17 percent, from the second quarter of 2025. The increase was due to higher net transaction and clearing fees1. ADNV traded on the Cboe FX platform was $60.6 billion for the quarter, up 8 percent compared to last year’s second quarter, and net capture rate per one million dollars traded was $2.96 for the second quarter of 2026, up 6 percent compared to $2.81 in the second quarter of 2025.

2026 Fiscal Year Financial Guidance1
Cboe provided guidance for the 2026 fiscal year as noted below.
•Organic total net revenue growth2 is expected to be in the 'mid to high teens' range, up from prior guidance of 'low double-digit to mid teens' in 2026.
•Organic net revenue growth2 from Data Vantage is expected to be in the ‘low teens’ range, up from prior guidance of 'low double-digit' in 2026.
•Reaffirms adjusted operating expenses2 in 2026 are expected to be in the range of $838 to $853 million. The guidance excludes the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets of $59 million; the company adjusts for this amount in its non-GAAP reconciliation.
•Depreciation and amortization expense for 2026 is expected to be in the range of $54 to $58 million, down from our prior guidance of $56 to $60 million, excluding the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets.
•Reaffirms the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings2 for the full year 2026 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.
•Capital expenditures for 2026 are expected to be in the range of $98 to $108 million, up from our prior guidance of $73 to $83 million.
(1)2026 guidance includes the anticipated impacts from discontinuing U.S. and European Corporate Listings, CEDX, and Cboe’s Japanese equities business, as well as the planned cost reductions in U.S. and European ETP Listings businesses and several of Cboe's smaller Risk and Market Analytics businesses, as announced in 2025 and early 2026, as well as anticipated realignment costs.
(2)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 costs that would be required to reconcile to GAAP revenues less cost of revenues, and GAAP operating expenses, 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. 2026 guidance includes the anticipated business-as-usual financial contribution from Cboe Canada, which Cboe announced divestiture plans for in October 2025. 2026 guidance will be updated as further actions are announced. Given an expected third quarter sale completion for Cboe Australia, 2026 adjusted operating expenses guidance is being reduced by $11 million, and the total organic net revenue growth guidance and Data Vantage organic net revenue growth guidance excludes the 2025 and 2026 impact of Cboe Australia in its organic guidance calculation.
Capital Management
At June 30, 2026, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,276.2 million and adjusted cash3 of $2,346.8 million. Total debt as of June 30, 2026 was $1,443.8 million.

EBITDA Reconciliations
EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are widely used non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance. These metrics are presented as supplemental information that the company believes are useful to investors to evaluate the company's results because they exclude certain items that are not directly related to the company’s core operating performance. Operating EBITDA is calculated by adding back to operating income depreciation and amortization. Adjusted Operating EBITDA is calculated by adding back to Operating EBITDA relevant adjustments. Operating EBITDA margin represents Operating EBITDA divided by revenues less cost of revenues.
