Euronext publishes Q2 2024 results

Euronext’s diversified business model continues to drive strong topline growth.

Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 25 July 2024 – Euronext, the leading pan-European market infrastructure, today publishes its results for the second quarter 2024.

• Q2 2024 revenue and income was up +12.2% at €412.9 million:
  • Strong performance of non-volume related revenue representing 58% of total revenue and income (compared to 61% in Q2 2023, reflecting the strong dynamic of trading and clearing in Q2 2024) and covering 153% of underlying operating expenses, excluding D&A¹ (vs. 148% in Q2 2023):
    • Custody and Settlement revenue grew to €69.7 million (+9.4%), driven by growing assets under custody, dynamic issuance activities and higher settlement activity;
    • Advanced Data Services revenue grew to €60.0 million (+5.4%), driven by continued demand for fixed-income and power trading data, commercial expansion of the analytic products offering and dynamic non-professional usage;
    • Listing revenue grew to €58.4 million (+5.9%), driven by the strong performance of Euronext Corporate Services and dynamic debt listing activity. Euronext sustained its leading position for equity listing in Europe and for debt listing globally;
    • Technology Solutions reported €25.4 million of revenue (-7.0%), primarily reflecting the termination of double-run connectivity revenues following the migration of Italian markets to Optiq®, passing on synergies to clients.

• Trading revenue grew to €142.7 million (+20.7%), driven by good trading dynamics in fixed income and across most asset classes (equity, power, commodity derivatives, and FX). Fixed income trading revenue reached another record at €35.6 million (+40.7%), driven by strong volatility.
• Clearing revenue grew to €39.2 million (+33.2%), thanks to the additional business captured by Euronext Clearing following its expansion for European equities in Q4 2023. The activity was supported by dynamic fixed income clearing activity. Net treasury income for Euronext Clearing was stable at €13.8 million.

• Underlying operating expenses excluding D&A¹ were €156.1 million (+2.7%), in line with the 2024 underlying cost guidance.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ was €256.8 million (+18.8%) and adjusted EBITDA margin was 62.2% (+3.5pts).
• Adjusted net income¹ was €165.2 million (+15.6%) and adjusted EPS was €1.59 (+19.0%).
• Reported net income was €141.7 million (+18.2%).
• Net debt to EBITDA² was at 1.8x at the end of June 2024, impacted by the dividend payment and closing of the GRSS acquisition.

• 
  Entering the last phase of the Borsa Italiana Group integration:
  • €84.2 million of cumulated run-rate annual EBITDA synergies were achieved at end of June 2024.
    €5.2 million run-rate annual EBITDA synergies were delivered in Q2 2024.
  • €109.1 million cumulated implementation costs have been incurred since the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group, of which €3.2 million were incurred during Q2 2024. Euronext now expects the total cumulated implementation costs until the end of 2024 to reduce to €130 million. This is €20 million lower than the €150 million guided in May 2022, and €30 million lower than the €160 million announced in November 2021.
  • Euronext has successfully concluded the migration of the MTS Production Data Centre to Bergamo. This strategic move enables customers to access MTS Markets’ Trading and Data services through the same facilities as all Euronext trading venues, thereby enhancing efficiencies in European capital markets. Members furthermore benefit from reduced latency, maximum safety and a reduction of their carbon footprint thanks to the facility’s 100% use of renewable energy.
    • Euronext successfully migrated the clearing of its commodity derivatives to Euronext Clearing in July 2024, completing the first phase of its derivatives clearing migration. The second and final phase, the migration of financial derivatives, will take place in September 2024.     
• Continued bolt-on acquisitions to diversify Euronext’s business model

On 3 June 2024, Euronext completed the acquisition of the leading provider of services to benchmark administrators, Global Rate Set Systems (GRSS), positioning the Group as a leading player in the calculation and administration of Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR) indices.

• Pioneering with the launch of the Euronext Wireless Network

In July 2024, Euronext launched its new microwave service (EWiN), becoming the first exchange in Europe to offer “Plug & Play” order entry in London via microwave technology. This service is set to significantly enhance the speed of order transmission, offering unparalleled latency improvements.

• Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:

“In the second quarter of 2024, Euronext reached record revenue and income of €412.9 million. Strong organic growth in our non-volume related businesses, combined with dynamic trading activities across asset classes drove the Group’s revenue growth to +12.2%. Combined with continued cost control, this record performance led to a +18.8% increase in adjusted EBITDA, to €256.8 million, and to a 62.2% adjusted EBITDA margin. As a result of this strong performance, our reported net profit grew +18.2% to €141.7 million and adjusted net profit grew +15.6% to €165.2 million. This represents an adjusted EPS of €1.59, increasing +19.0% compared to last year.

Over the past few months, we pursued the diversification of our business model with the closing of the acquisition of GRSS, a leading benchmark administrator, in June 2024. This bolt-on acquisition will further strengthen Euronext’s non-volume related revenue growth. We also continued to innovate with the launch of the Euronext Wireless Network, our new microwave service. With this new offering, we became the first exchange in Europe to offer “Plug & Play” order entry in London via microwave technology, which will significantly enhance the speed of order transmission and offer unparalleled improvements in latency.

We are now delivering on the final milestone of the Borsa Italiana Group integration. On 15 July 2024, we successfully completed the first phase of the derivatives clearing migration with the migration of our commodity derivatives clearing activities to Euronext Clearing. Financial derivatives will follow in September 2024. With this strategic expansion of our clearing house, Euronext is creating an integrated market infrastructure that further contributes to the defragmentation of the European post-trade landscape, and serves as a catalyst for innovation for its clients. This milestone will also be the final step in reaching the targeted €115 million of run-rate EBITDA synergies by the end of 2024.”

• Q2 2024 revenue and income
  
  

In Q2 2024, Euronext’s revenue and income amounted to €412.9 million, up +12.2% compared to Q2 2023, driven by the strong performance of trading and post-trade activities, resulting from dynamic trading environments and the positive contribution of the Euronext Clearing European expansion at the end of November 2023, as well as solid organic growth in non-volume related businesses.

On a like-for-like basis and at constant currencies, Euronext revenue and income was up +11.9% in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023.

Non-volume related revenue accounted for 58% of Group revenue in Q2 2024, slightly down compared to Q2 2023, reflecting record performance in fixed-income trading and strong trading performance across most of the other asset classes and dynamic clearing activity. The underlying operating expenses excluding D&A coverage by non-volume related revenue ratio was at 153% in Q2 2024, compared to 148% in Q2 2023.

• Q2 2024 adjusted EBITDA
  
  

Underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased by +2.7% to €156.1 million, reflecting continued cost control in an inflationary environment. On a like-for-like basis, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased by +2.4% compared to Q2 2023.

Consequently, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totalled €256.8 million, up +18.8% compared to Q2 2023. This represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of 62.2%, up +3.5 points compared to Q2 2023. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2024 was up +18.5%, and adjusted EBITDA margin was up +3.5 points compared to the same perimeter in Q2 2023.

• Q2 2024 net income, share of the parent company shareholders
  
  

Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €47.9 million in Q2 2024, +13.7% more than in Q2 2023 due to ongoing migration projects. PPA related to acquired businesses accounted for €20.1 million and is included in depreciation and amortisation.

Adjusted operating profit was €234.8 million, up +18.7% compared to Q2 2023. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted operating profit was up +18.4% compared to Q2 2023.

€32.8 million of non-underlying expenses, including depreciation and amortisation, were reported in Q2 2024, related to the implementation of the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan and the PPA of acquired businesses.

Net financing income for Q2 2024 was €3.5 million, compared to a net financing expense of €1.9 million in Q2 2023. This results from higher interest income due to higher interest rates, offsetting the cost of debt.

Results from equity investments accounted for €1.2 million in Q2 2024, reflecting the gain from the disposal of a non-strategic associate. As a reminder, in Q2 2023, Euronext reported €3.2 million in results from equity investments, solely reflecting the contribution from LCH SA.

Income tax for Q2 2024 was €55.7 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 27.0% for the quarter, compared to 24.8% in Q2 2023, which was positively impacted by non-taxable income.

Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to the Borsa Italiana Group and Nord Pool amounted to €9.2 million in Q2 2024.

As a result, the reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, increased by +18.2% for Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023, to €141.7 million. This represents a reported EPS of €1.37 basic and €1.36 diluted in Q2 2024, compared to €1.12 basic and €1.12 diluted in Q2 2023. Adjusted net income, share of the parent company shareholders was up +15.6% to €165.2 million. Adjusted EPS (basic) was up +19.0% in Q2 2024, at €1.59 per share, compared to an adjusted EPS (basic) of €1.34 per share in Q2 2023. This increase reflects higher profit and a lower number of outstanding shares over the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023.

The weighted number of shares used over the first half of 2024 was 103,653,544 for the basic calculation and 103,986,292 for the diluted calculation, compared to 106,741,621 and 106,989,806 respectively over the first half of 2023. The difference reflects the share repurchase programme carried out in H2 2023.

In Q2 2024, Euronext reported a net cash flow from operating activities of €111.5 million, compared to €139.0 million in Q2 2023, reflecting significantly higher negative changes in working capital from CCP activities at Euronext Clearing and higher income tax. Excluding the impact on working capital from Euronext Clearing and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 61.0% of EBITDA in Q2 2024.

Corporate highlights since 30 June 2024

• Successful migration of commodity derivatives to Euronext Clearing

Euronext successfully migrated the clearing of its commodity derivatives to Euronext Clearing on 15 July 2024, completing the first phase of its derivatives clearing migration. Euronext confirmed that the second and final phase, the migration of financial derivatives, will take place in September 2024.

• Continued innovation with the launch of microwave technology
  
  

On 11 July 2024, Euronext announced the successful launch of its new London-based microwave service, the Euronext Wireless Network (EWiN). Euronext is the first exchange in Europe to offer “Plug & Play” order entry in London via microwave technology. This service is set to significantly enhance the speed of order transmission between London, UK, and Bergamo, Italy, where Euronext’s core data centre is located, offering unparallelled improvements in latency for Euronext’s many London-based members.

The Euronext Wireless Network (EWiN) is a fully resilient service with 100% fibre back-up, providing order submission via microwaves from London Equinix LD4 to Bergamo Aruba IT3 in less than 4 milliseconds. This new service is provided in collaboration with McKay Brothers, the largest independent microwave network provider in Europe.

The EWiN microwave network represents a major technological advancement in the financial services sector. By leveraging the faster transmission speeds of microwave technology, EWiN provides a direct and highly efficient communication pathway that significantly reduces the time it takes to send orders to Euronext’s single liquidity pool, powered by the single technology platform Optiq®.

EWiN combines several key benefits, providing Euronext members with a technological edge in the fast-paced world of financial trading. The service has been designed with full straight-through processing (STP). EWiN also has full fibre back-up, making it 100% resilient. EWiN significantly reduces latency, ensuring faster and more reliable order execution. Lastly, it creates a direct microwave link between London and Bergamo, two major financial data hubs in Europe. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have confirmed the deployment of the new technology since its go-live date.

Appendix

Adjustments in financial disclosure

To highlight its underlying performance, since Q1 2023 Euronext has published underlying recurring costs, adjusted EBITDA and non-recurring costs.

Euronext has removed the exceptional items line from its financial statements. Consequently, costs previously reported as exceptional items have from Q1 2023 been included in their respective lines within Euronext operating expenses as non-recurring items.

The €150 million of implementation costs to deliver on the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan targets are therefore considered as non-recurring items and have been withdrawn from the underlying recurring costs.

The computation of adjusted net income and earnings per share has been adjusted accordingly. The computation of reported net income and earnings per share is not impacted.

2024 strategic plan targets remain unchanged and are not affected by this change in reporting.

The non-IFRS indicators are defined below.

Non-IFRS financial measures

For comparative purposes, the company provides unaudited non-IFRS measures including:

• Operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation;
• EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin.

Non-IFRS measures are defined as follows:

• Operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation as the total of salary and employee benefits, and other operational expenses;
• Underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation as the total of salary and employee benefits, and other operational expenses, excluding non-recurring costs;
• Underlying revenue and income as the total of revenue and income, excluding non-recurring revenue and income;

• Non-underlying items as items of revenue, income and expense that are material by their size and/or that are infrequent and unusual by their nature or incidence are not considered to be recurring in the normal course of business and are classified as non-underlying items on the face of the income statement within their relevant category in order to provide further understanding of the ongoing sustainable performance of the Group. These items can include:
  • integration or double run costs of significant projects, restructuring costs and costs related to acquisitions that change the perimeter of the Group;
  • one-off finance costs, gains or losses on sale of subsidiaries and impairments of investments:
  • amortisation and impairment of intangible assets which are recognised as a result of acquisitions and mostly comprising customer relationships, brand names and software that were identified during purchase price allocation (PPA);
  • tax related to non-underlying items.

• Adjusted operating profit as the operating profit adjusted for any non-underlying revenue and income and non-underlying costs, including PPA of acquired businesses;
• EBITDA as the operating profit before depreciation and amortisation;
• Adjusted EBITDA as the adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortisation adjusted for any non-underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation;
• EBITDA margin as EBITDA divided by total revenue and income;
• Adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA, divided by total revenue and income;
• Adjusted net income, as the net income, share of the parent company shareholders, adjusted for any non-underlying items and related tax impact.

Non-IFRS financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures and should be read only in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements.
