Euronext publishes Q3 2024 results

In Q3 2024, Euronext delivered a strong performance, driven by a diversified business model, the successful expansion of Euronext Clearing and continued cost discipline. Euronext reached its “Growth for Impact 2024” strategic plan targets one full quarter in advance.

Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 7 November 2024 – Euronext, the leading pan-European market infrastructure, today publishes its results for the third quarter 2024.

• Q3 2024 revenue and income was up +10.0% at €396.3 million:
  • Strong performance of non-volume related revenue representing 58% of total revenue and income (compared to 60% in Q3 2023) and covering 153% of underlying operating expenses, excluding D&A¹ (vs. 148% in Q3 2023):
    • Custody and Settlement revenue grew to €63.1 million (+7.1%), driven by higher assets under custody, dynamic settlement activity and continued double digit growth of value-added services;
    • Advanced Data Services revenue grew to €61.2 million (+10.4%), driven by continued demand for fixed-income and power trading data, dynamic non-professional usage and audit fees. It also represents a full quarter contribution of GRSS;
    • Listing revenue grew to €56.4 million (+3.2%), reflecting continued strong performance of corporate services and debt listing. Euronext recorded 13 new equity listings and remained the leading venue for equity listings in Europe;
    • Technology Solutions reported €25.7 million of revenue (-6.5%), due to the termination of Borsa Italiana legacy services in March 2024 following the migration to Optiq;

• Trading revenue grew to €136.9 million (+15.7%), driven by record results in fixed income and FX trading and solid growth in cash and power trading;
• Clearing revenue grew to €35.2 million (+19.3%), powered by the expansion of Euronext Clearing to Euronext’s cash markets, and dynamic fixed income and commodities clearing. Net treasury income for Euronext Clearing was at €13.5 million (-1.7%). Increase in collateral following the financial derivatives clearing migration on 9 September and higher return on cash held was offset by client portfolio rebalancing on repo clearing and by the introduction of the VaR-based margin methodology in Q4 2023;

• Underlying operating expenses excluding D&A¹ were €150.5 million (+2.7%). Continued cost discipline and the positive impact of seasonality on recurring expenses offset the cost of growth investments. Euronext upgrades its underlying operating cost guidance for full year 2024 to €620 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ was €245.8 million (+15.1%) and adjusted EBITDA margin was 62.0% (+2.7pts).
• Adjusted net income¹ was €180.8 million (+23.4%) and adjusted EPS was €1.74 (+26.1%), positively impacted by high results from equity investments.
• Reported net income was €159.5 million (-4.2%), reflecting the negative comparison base related to the €41.6 million capital gain received in Q3 2023 for the disposal of Euronext’s 11.1% stake in LCH SA.

  • €110.8 million cumulated implementation costs have been incurred since the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group, of which €1.7 million were incurred during Q3 2024. This is €48.2 million lower than the €160 million guidance announced in November 2021.
• “Growth for Impact 2024” financial targets achieved
  
  

Euronext achieved its “Growth for Impact 2024” financial guidance one full quarter in advance. Euronext revenue reached +4.1% CAGR_{2020PF-2024LTM}, compared to +3% to +4% CAGR_2020PF-2024e targeted. Despite inflation, Euronext continued its trademark cost discipline. Euronext reached adjusted EBITDA growth of +5.3% CAGR_{2020PF-2024LTM}, compared to +5% to +6% CAGR_2020PF-2024e targeted.

• Continued bolt-on acquisitions to diversify Euronext’s business model
  
  
  • In September 2024, Euronext acquired Substantive Research, an industry-leading pioneer providing in-depth transparency on product and pricing comparison for investment research spend, market data and investment research content. 
  • In October 2024, Euronext acquired substantially all the business of the Acupay Group, a global leader in financial reporting, corporate actions, cross-border tax relief, and securities processing. The acquisition further expands Euronext Securities services offering to investors and issuers and also strengthens Euronext’s non-volume related revenue streams.

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

“Our Q3 2024 results demonstrate our ability to generate strong organic growth. We delivered double-digit topline growth thanks to the excellent performance of our diversified trading business, our successful clearing expansion in Europe and solid performance of non-volume related activities. We maintained strong cost discipline on recurring expenses and we continued to invest in growth. Consequently, we grew our adjusted EBITDA by +15.1% compared to last year, to €245.8 million. Supported by strong results from equity investments, we grew our adjusted net income to a record level of €180.8 million. Our adjusted EPS grew by +26.1% to €1.74.
Once again, we have demonstrated exceptional execution capabilities. We have finalized the migration of our derivatives markets to Euronext Clearing, the final step of the Borsa Italiana Group integration. We have over performed the €115 million guidance for the total run-rate EBITDA synergies related to the Borsa Italiana Group acquisition to reach €121 million. This is twice the amount targeted at the closing of the transaction in April 2021. We achieved more synergies than targeted, and spent less costs for the integration than anticipated.
Thanks to our strong performance, we reached our “Growth for Impact 2024” financial targets a full quarter in advance. Euronext is now present on the entire trading value chain, from pre-listing to post trade and solutions. We are perfectly positioned to accelerate growth, through innovation and efficiency. Our integrated clearing capabilities enable us to bring a set of innovative products to the market, some of which are already live. Alongside these organic initiatives, we continued to strengthen our non-volume related business with strategic bolt-on acquisitions.
I am looking forward to share how we will innovate for growth over the next three years at our investor day on 8 November 2024.”

• Q3 2024 revenue and income

In Q3 2024, Euronext’s revenue and income amounted to €396.3 million, up +10.0% compared to Q3 2023, driven by the strong performance of trading and post-trade activities, resulting from a dynamic trading environment for most asset classes and the positive contribution of the Euronext Clearing European expansion for cash instruments 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 +9.7% in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023.  

Non-volume related revenue accounted for 58% of Group revenue in Q3 2024, slightly down compared to Q3 2023 due to the record performance in fixed-income trading and strong performance across most of the other volume-related activities. The underlying operating expenses excluding D&A coverage by non-volume related revenue ratio was at 153% in Q3 2024, compared to 148% in Q3 2023.

• Q3 2024 adjusted EBITDA

Underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased by +2.7% to €150.5 million, reflecting continued cost control and the positive impact of seasonality which offset accelerated growth investments. On a like-for-like basis, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased by +2.1% compared to Q3 2023.

Consequently, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totalled €245.8 million, up +15.1% compared to Q3 2023. This represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of 62.0%, up +2.7 points compared to Q3 2023. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2024 was up +14.9%, and adjusted EBITDA margin was up +2.8 points compared to the same perimeter in Q3 2023.

• Q3 2024 net income, share of the parent company shareholders

Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €47.2 million in Q3 2024, +12.8% more than in Q3 2023 due to ongoing migration projects. PPA related to acquired businesses accounted for €20.2 million and is included in depreciation and amortisation.

Adjusted operating profit was €224.7 million, up +15.0% compared to Q3 2023. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted operating profit was up +14.9% compared to Q3 2023.

€30.2 million of non-underlying expenses, including depreciation and amortisation, were reported in Q3 2024, related to the implementation of the “Growth for Impact 2024” strategic plan and the PPA of acquired businesses.

Net financing income for Q3 2024 was €2.9 million, compared to a net financing income of €1.5 million in Q3 2023. This results from higher interest income due to higher interest rates, offsetting the cost of debt.

Results from equity investments accounted for €23.4 million in Q3 2024, reflecting the dividend from Euroclear received in Q3 2024. As a reminder, in Q3 2023, Euronext reported €54.4 million in results from equity investments, reflecting the €41.6 million gain on the sale of Euronext’s stake in LCH SA and the dividend received from Euroclear.

Income tax for Q3 2024 was €52.5 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 23.8% for the quarter, compared to 22.0% in Q3 2023. The tax rate in Q3 2024 and Q3 2023 was positively impacted by non-taxable income.

Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to the Borsa Italiana Group and Nord Pool amounted to €8.8 million in Q3 2024.

As a result, the reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, decreased by -4.2% for Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023, to €159.5 million. This represents a reported EPS of €1.54 basic and €1.53 diluted in Q3 2024, compared to €1.57 basic and €1.56 diluted in Q3 2023. Adjusted net income, share of the parent company shareholders was up +23.4% to €180.8 million. Adjusted EPS (basic) was up +26.1% in Q3 2024, at €1.74 per share, compared to an adjusted EPS (basic) of €1.38 per share in Q3 2023. This increase reflects higher profit and a lower number of outstanding shares over the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023.

The weighted number of shares used over the first nine months of 2024 was 103,649,167 for the basic calculation and 104,036,188 for the diluted calculation, compared to 106,563,821 and 106,844,622 respectively over the first nine months of 2023. The difference reflects the share repurchase programme carried out in H2 2023. In Q3 2024, Euronext reported a net cash flow from operating activities of €237.4 million, compared to €174.5 million in Q3 2023, reflecting higher positive changes in working capital from CCP activities at Euronext Clearing and the sale of the 11.1% share in LCH SA in Q3 2023. Excluding the impact on working capital from Euronext Clearing and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 95.5% of EBITDA in Q3 2024.
