Business Highlights
Segment Overview
Electronic Brokerage
Electronic Brokerage segment income before income taxes decreased 9%, to $536 million, in 2015, due to unsecured customer losses caused by the sudden, large move in the value of the Swiss franc as further described below. Net revenues increased 15% to $1.1 billion on higher commissions revenue and net interest income. Excluding the impact of this unusual item, segment income before taxes grew to a record $655 million, an 11% increase over 2014. Customer accounts grew 18% to 331 thousand and customer equity increased 19% to $67.4 billion compared to 2014.
Commissions and execution fees increased 13% in 2015, to $618 million and net interest income grew 24%, to $400 million. Pretax profit margin was 49% in 2015, down from 62% in 2014.
Total DARTs(1) for cleared and execution-only customers increased 14% to 647 thousand in 2015, compared to 566 thousand during 2014. Cleared DARTs were 589 thousand, 14% higher than in 2014.
Market Making
Market Making segment income before income taxes increased 14%, to $130 million in 2015, driven by higher market volatility and periods of higher trading activity during 2015. Pretax profit margin increased to 44% in 2015 from 40% in 2014.
Sudden Move in the Value of the Swiss Franc
On January 15, 2015, due to the sudden, large move in the value of the Swiss franc that followed an unprecedented action by the Swiss National Bank, which removed a previously instituted and repeatedly reconfirmed cap of the currency relative to the Euro, several of our customers who held currency futures and spot positions suffered losses in excess of their deposits with us. We took immediate action to hedge our exposure to the foreign currency receivables from these customers. During 2015, we incurred losses, net of hedging activity and debt collection efforts, of $119 million. We continue to actively pursue collection of these debts. The ultimate effect of this incident on our results will depend upon the outcome of our debt collection efforts.
Effects of Foreign Currency Diversification
In connection with our currency strategy, we have determined to base our net worth in GLOBALs, a basket of 16 major currencies in which we hold our equity. In 2015, our currency diversification strategy decreased our comprehensive earnings by $269 million, as the U.S. dollar value of the GLOBAL decreased by approximately 5%. The effects of the currency diversification strategy are reported as components of (1) Other Income in the Corporate segment and (2) Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). As previously disclosed, certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation of currency translation gains and losses related to our currency diversification strategy.
(1) Daily average revenue trades (DARTs) are based on customer orders.
