Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported increase in diluted EPS by 33% for the quarter and 226% for the full year, alongside a record net revenue growth of 9% for the quarter and 10% for the year, indicate a robust financial performance for Cboe Global Markets. This performance is particularly significant given the backdrop of market volatility and economic uncertainty. The organic total net revenue growth target of 5 to 7 percent for 2024 suggests a confident outlook on the company’s growth trajectory, signaling to investors and stakeholders the potential for sustained profitability. However, the anticipated expense growth of 6-8% may weigh on future earnings, which should be monitored closely.

From a valuation perspective, the adjusted operating expense guidance provides insights into the company's cost management strategies and operational efficiency. Investors would do well to consider the balance between revenue growth and expense management when evaluating the company's future earnings potential. The decline in North American Equities net revenue by 10% raises questions about the competitive landscape and pricing pressures in the equities market, which could impact future market share and profitability in this segment.

Market Research Analyst

The derivatives market has shown a remarkable performance with a 21% growth in net revenue, which is indicative of the increasing demand for risk management tools and alternative investment strategies among investors. This trend is likely to continue as market participants seek to hedge against volatility and diversify their portfolios. The Data and Access Solutions segment also experienced a solid 9% growth, underscoring the importance of data in today’s trading environment. The emphasis on data and technology-driven solutions is a key factor in maintaining a competitive edge in the financial markets industry.

It is also noteworthy that despite a challenging volume backdrop for global cash equity markets, Cboe has managed to report positive financials. This resilience could be attributed to the company's diversified revenue streams and strategic initiatives. The growth targets for 2024 reflect optimism in the company's ability to leverage its core strengths, such as global footprint and product innovation, to drive further growth.

Economist

The reported financials from Cboe Global Markets provide a microcosmic view of the broader economic landscape, particularly in the financial markets sector. The increase in net revenue and earnings per share suggests that the company has effectively capitalized on the cyclical and secular trends affecting the markets. The effective tax rate reduction to 26.3% from 32.3% in the previous year could be reflective of broader tax policy changes or company-specific tax strategies, which have a direct impact on net income.

The guidance for 2024, with expected organic net revenue growth and controlled operating expenses, indicates a strategic approach to balance growth with profitability. This approach might be indicative of a cautiously optimistic economic outlook, where companies are preparing for potential headwinds by focusing on efficiency and revenue diversification. The capital management section, detailing dividend payments and share repurchases, suggests an emphasis on shareholder returns, which could be a positive signal for investor confidence in the company's financial health and management's stewardship.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023 and full year.

"I am pleased to report that Cboe generated another year of strong revenue growth and financial results in 2023," said Fredric Tomczyk, Cboe Global Markets Chief Executive Officer. "Our Derivatives and Data and Access Solutions categories helped drive the 10% net revenue growth and 13% adjusted diluted EPS growth for the year as both strong secular and cyclical trends helped boost these business lines. In addition, we made meaningful progress on our strategic initiatives as a company and are well-positioned for 2024. This year we plan to unlock additional value from our global derivatives and securities network by leveraging our core strengths – our global footprint, superior technology and product innovation – to help drive continued strong revenue growth and financial results."

"In the fourth quarter, Cboe generated record net revenues and strong earnings results to finish a remarkable year," said Jill Griebenow, Cboe Global Markets Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. "Derivative trends were strong throughout 2023 with net revenues growing 21% for the full year. Data and Access Solutions delivered solid growth with net revenue up 9% in 2023, while Cash and Spot Markets declined given a challenging volume backdrop for global cash equity markets. Following our record year of revenue generation, we anticipate organic total net revenue growth² will average 5-7% in 2024, in line with our medium-term guidance range. We anticipate Data and Access Solutions organic net revenue growth² will average an attractive 7-10%, in line with our medium-term expectations. We look to balance solid revenue growth expectations with disciplined expense management, targeting expense growth in the 6-8% range for the year. 2024 is off to a strong start, and we look forward to delivering on our objectives to drive durable returns for shareholders in the year ahead."

*All comparisons are fourth quarter 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

(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 expenses that would be required to reconcile to GAAP revenues less cost of revenues, GAAP operating expenses and GAAP effective tax rate, 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.

• Total revenues less cost of revenues (referred to as "net revenue") of $499.0 million increased 9 percent, compared to $457.1 million in the prior-year period, reflecting increases in derivatives markets and data and access solutions net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in cash and spot markets net revenue.
• Total operating expenses were $205.0 million versus $206.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.6 million. Adjusted operating expenses¹ of $191.7 million increased 9 percent compared to $176.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits and technology support services, partially offset by a decline in other expenses, depreciation and amortization, and professional fees and outside services.
• The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 26.3 percent as compared with 32.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022. The lower effective tax rate in 2023 is primarily due to the impact the Cboe Digital goodwill impairment had on the effective tax rate in 2022. The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings¹ was 27.3 percent, a decrease of 0.1 percent when compared with 27.4 percent in last year's fourth quarter.
• Diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 33 percent to $1.98 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted diluted EPS¹ of $2.06 increased 14 percent compared to 2022's fourth quarter results.

Discussion of Results by Business Segment¹:

Options:

• Options net revenue of $314.5 million was up $41.3 million, or 15 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2022. Net transaction and clearing fees² increased primarily as a result of a 24 percent increase in index options trading volumes versus the fourth quarter of 2022. Access and capacity fees were 6 percent higher than fourth quarter 2022.
• Net transaction and clearing fees² increased $51.7 million, or 23 percent, reflecting a 2 percent increase in total options average daily volume ("ADV") and a 20 percent increase in total options RPC compared to the fourth quarter 2022. The increase in total options RPC was due to a mix shift, with index options representing a higher percentage of total options volume.
• Cboe's Options exchanges had total market share of 33.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 34.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022.

North American (N.A.) Equities:

• N.A. Equities net revenue of $86.3 million decreased $10.1 million, or 10 percent versus the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting lower net transaction and clearing fees² and industry market data.
• Net transaction and clearing fees² decreased by $9.9 million, or 30 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was driven by a lower on-exchange U.S. Equities net capture rate as unfavorable client mix shift pushed more activity to higher volume tiers. The decrease was partially offset by a stronger U.S. off-exchange net capture rate and increased market share in Canadian Equities.
• Cboe's U.S. Equities exchanges had market share of 13.0 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 13.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022. Cboe's U.S. Equities off-exchange market share was 20.6 percent versus 21.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022. Canadian Equities market share rose to 15.3 percent as compared to 13.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to greater adoption by existing clients and new client growth.

Europe and Asia Pacific (APAC):

• Europe and APAC net revenue of $48.0 million increased by 9 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting double-digit non-transaction revenue growth led by higher market data fees, access and capacity fees, and other revenue. On a constant currency basis², net revenues were $46.1 million, up 4 percent on a year-over-year basis. European Equities average daily notional value ("ADNV") traded on Cboe European Equities was €9.0 billion, down 10 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 given a 6 percent decline in industry market volumes and lower market share.
• For the fourth quarter of 2023, Cboe European Equities had 23.9 percent market share, down from 24.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022 given higher closing auction activity at listing venues. Cboe Australia had 20.3 percent market share for the fourth quarter of 2023, up from 17.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022. Cboe Japan grew market share to 4.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023 from 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022. Cboe European Equities net capture rate increased 4 percent and Cboe Australia net capture increased 11 percent when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Futures:

• Futures net revenue of $32.4 million increased $5.6 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 due to double-digit increases in net transaction and clearing fees² and market data fees.
• Net transaction and clearing fees² increased $4.9 million, reflecting a 21 percent increase in ADV during the quarter.

Global FX:

• Global FX net revenue of $18.9 million increased 12 percent, primarily due to higher net transaction and clearing fees². ADNV traded on the Cboe FX platform was $47.0 billion for the quarter, up 15 percent compared to last year's fourth quarter, and net capture rate per one million dollars traded was $2.60 for the quarter, down 3 percent compared to $2.69 in the fourth quarter of 2022.
• Cboe FX market share was 21.3 percent for the quarter compared to 18.4 percent in last year's fourth quarter, which set a quarterly record for Cboe FX. The record was driven by new client growth and increased adoption of our diverse set of FX order types and trading protocols.

2024 Fiscal Year Financial Guidance

Cboe provided guidance for the 2024 fiscal year as noted below.

• Organic total net revenue growth¹ is expected to be in the range of 5 to 7 percentage points in 2024, in line with medium-term organic total net revenue¹ guidance expectations of 5 to 7 percentage points.
• Organic net revenue¹ from Data and Access Solutions is expected to increase by approximately 7 to 10 percentage points in 2024, in line with medium-term guidance expectations of 7 to 10 percentage points.
• Adjusted operating expenses¹ in 2024 are expected to be in the range of $798 to $808 million. The guidance excludes the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets of $93 million; the company reflects the exclusion of this amount in its non-GAAP reconciliation.
• Depreciation and amortization expense for 2024 is expected to be in the range of $43 to $47 million, excluding the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets.
• Other income (expense) from minority investments is expected to contribute a $37 to $43 million benefit in 2024.
• The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings¹ for the full year 2024 is expected to be in the range of 28.5 to 30.5 percent. Significant changes in trading volume, expenses, tax laws or rates and other items could materially impact this expectation.
• Capital expenditures for 2024 are expected to be in the range of $51 to $57 million.

(1)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 expenses that would be required to reconcile to GAAP revenues less cost of revenues, GAAP operating expenses and GAAP effective tax rate, 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.

Capital Management

At December 31, 2023, the company had adjusted cash² of $533.5 million. Total debt as of December 31, 2023 was $1,439.2 million, a decrease of $74.4 million from September 30, 2023.

The company paid cash dividends of $58.5 million, or $0.55 per share, during the fourth quarter of 2023 and utilized $5.8 million to repurchase approximately 34 thousand shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $173.59 per share.

Non-GAAP Information

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with GAAP, Cboe Global Markets has disclosed certain non-GAAP measures of operating performance. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP measures provided in this press release include net transaction and clearing fees, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, organic net revenue, inorganic net revenue, and adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income allocated to common stockholders and adjusted diluted earnings per share, effective tax rate on adjusted earnings, adjusted cash, net revenues in constant currency, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release provide additional and comparative information to assess trends in our core operations and a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by management are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results.

Organic net revenue, inorganic net revenue, organic non-transaction revenue and organic net revenue guidance: These are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for the impact of our acquisitions for the period or guidance, as applicable. Management believes the organic net revenue growth and guidance measures provide users with supplemental information regarding the company's ongoing and future potential revenue performances and trends by presenting revenue growth and guidance excluding the impact of the acquisitions. Revenues from acquisitions that have been owned for at least one year are considered organic and are no longer excluded from organic net revenue from either period for comparative purposes.

Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets: We amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with various acquisitions. Amortization of intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. As such, if intangible asset amortization is included in performance measures, it is more difficult to assess the day-to-day operating performance of the businesses, the relative operating performance of the businesses between periods and the earnings power of the company. Therefore, we believe performance measures excluding intangible asset amortization expense provide investors with an additional basis for comparison across accounting periods.

Acquisition-related expenses: From time to time, we have pursued acquisitions, which have resulted in expenses which would not otherwise have been incurred in the normal course of the company's business operations. These expenses include integration costs, as well as legal, due diligence, impairment charges, and other third-party transaction costs. The frequency and the amount of such expenses vary significantly based on the size, timing and complexity of the transaction. Accordingly, we exclude these costs for purposes of calculating non-GAAP measures which provide an additional analysis of Cboe's ongoing operating performance or comparisons in Cboe's performance between periods.

The tables below show the reconciliation of each financial measure from GAAP to non-GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of those items detailed below and are referred to as adjusted financial measures.

(6) This amount represents the impairment of goodwill recognized in the Digital reporting unit.

(7) This amount represents the impairment of investment related to the Company's minority investments in American Financial Exchange, LLC and Effective Investing Limited.

(8) This amount represents the dividend from the Company's minority ownership of Vest Group Inc.

(9) This amount represents the reduction in contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of Cboe Japan and Cboe Canada.

(10) This amount represents the tax reserves related to Section 199 matters.

(11) This amount represents remeasurements of deferred tax assets and liabilities at prevailing effective tax rates

(12) This amount represents valuation allowance releases recorded against gross deferred tax assets for net operating losses.

(13) The company sponsors deferred compensation plans held in a trust. The expenses or income related to the deferred compensation plans are included in "Compensation and benefits" ($3.2 million and $2.0 million in expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $9.2 million and $0.5 million in expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively), and are directly offset by deferred compensation income, expenses and dividends included within "Other income (expense), net" ($3.2 million and $2.0 million in income, expense and dividends in the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $9.2 million and $0.5 million in income, expense and dividends in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively), on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The deferred compensation plans' expenses are not excluded from "adjusted operating expenses" and do not have an impact on "Income before income taxes."

(14) Adjusted operating margin represents adjusted operating income divided by adjusted revenue less cost of revenue.

EBITDA Reconciliations

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are widely used non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA divided by revenues less cost of revenues (net revenue). It is presented as supplemental information that the company believes is useful to investors to evaluate its results because it excludes certain items that are not directly related to the company's core operating performance. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back to EBITDA acquisition-related expenses, gain on investment, loan forgiveness, investment establishment costs, impairment of goodwill, impairment of investment, and income from investment. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as substitutes either for net income, as an indicator of the company's operating performance, or for cash flow, as a measure of the company's liquidity. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.
