Our strong second quarter 2026 results reflected broad-based momentum across our global business despite a more normalized market volatility backdrop. The primary driver of the $46.0 million increase in revenue was related to a $35.6 million increase in transaction fees and commissions to $465.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $429.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher revenues for rates derivatives products, mortgages, U.S. and European corporate bonds, equity derivative products, international and U.S. exchange traded funds ( ETFs ), as well as higher commissions on higher average daily balances of money market fund investments made through the ICD Portal.Now
Our third quarter 2026 results reflected growing momentum across our global business, against a backdrop of rising yields, shifting interest rate expectations and elevated issuance. As investors navigate a rapidly changing fixed income landscape, they are increasingly looking to technology and a broader range of trading protocols to execute efficiently and manage risk. The primary driver of the $75.9 million increase in revenue was related to a $70.5 million increase in transaction fees and commissions to $491.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $421.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher revenues for rates derivatives products, U.S. government bonds, U.S. corporate bonds, U.S. exchange traded funds ( ETFs ), credit and equity derivative products and European government bonds.Average variable fees per million for rates decreased primarily due to a decrease in average variable fees…

Occupancy . Expenses related to occupancy costs increased by $2.4 million or 39.1% to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher office and data center rent expense associated with our global expansion, including the commencement in September 2025 of the lease for our new corporate headquarters in New York City.Now
Depreciation and Amortization . Expenses related to depreciation and amortization decreased by $2.0 million or 3.2% to $62.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $64.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to content and data intangible assets recognized in connection with the 2018 Refinitiv Transaction that were fully amortized as of the end of the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by an increase in amortization of software development costs driven by increases in investment in our infrastructure and the relocation of our New York City corporate headquarters during September 2025.Technology and Communications .

Technology and Communications . Expenses related to technology and communications increased by $11.8 million or 38.9% to $42.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $30.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased investment in our data strategy and infrastructure and increased data fees driven primarily by higher trading volumes period-over-period. Approximately $5.2 million of the increase was driven by a step-up in costs, which began in the second half of 2025, relating to investments in our data infrastructure strategy and higher reference data costs. As this step-up occurred during the second half of 2025, it is not expected to continue to contribute to significant expense growth in future periods.Now
Technology and Communications . Expenses related to technology and communications increased by $10.8 million or 31.8% to $44.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $33.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased investment in our AI and data strategy and infrastructure, as well as higher data and clearance fees, which were driven primarily by higher trading volumes period-over-period.Our expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

The Company performs services as a Super Validator and Validator on the Global Synchronizer, the Canton Network s decentralized interoperability infrastructure. The Canton Network is a public-permissioned blockchain network designed with privacy and controls to facilitate the exchange of regulated financial assets. The Canton Network s Global Synchronizer includes a utility token, which is a digital asset called the Canton Coin. As a Super Validator and Validator on the network, the Company verifies network transactions and contributes to the consensus mechanism of the network. For these validation services, the Company earns Canton Coins and then generally holds the Canton Coins on its balance sheet for investment purposes and may use Canton Coins to pay fees associated with its own Canton Network activity. The cost basis of the Canton Coins received throughout each day is initially recorded at its fair value on the date of receipt as a component of digital assets and other investments at fair value on in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The Canton Coins are then remeasured to fair market value at the end of each reporting period through an adjustment to unrealized gain/(loss), included as a component of other income (loss), net on in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company employs the first-in-first-out ( FIFO ) method to determine the cost basis of its Canton Coins for the computation of gains and losses on any disposal or sale of Canton Coins. Realized gain/(loss) on any disposal or sale of Canton Coins are also included as a component of other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition until the available-for-sale debt security is derecognized. When an available-for-sale debt security is derecognized, the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance for that security, as of the end of the preceding reporting period, is reclassified into earnings.
Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition until realized. On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses whether an impairment loss on its available-for-sale debt securities has occurred due to declines in fair value or other market conditions. When the amortized cost basis of an available-for-sale debt security exceeds its fair value, the security is deemed to be impaired. The portion of an impairment related to credit losses is determined by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security and is recorded as a charge in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The remainder of an impairment is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss if the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery. Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are included as a component of digital assets and other investments at fair value on in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies are recorded in the appropriate functional currency for the legal entity at the rate of exchange prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in non-functional currencies are then remeasured at the end of each reporting period at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Foreign currency remeasurement gains or losses on monetary assets and liabilities in nonfunctional currencies are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income within general and administrative expenses. The realized and unrealized gains/losses totaled a loss of $ 0.3 0.4 million and a gain of $ 1.7 2.1 million during the three months ended June September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and a loss of $ 1.8 2.2 million and a gain of $ 2.6 4.7 million during the six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Since the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the Company also translates all non-U.S. dollar functional currency revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. All non-U.S. dollar functional currency revenue and expense amounts are translated into U.S. dollars monthly at the average exchange rate for the month. All non-U.S. dollar functional currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Gains or losses on translation in the financial statements, when the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, are included as a component of other comprehensive income.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ( IRA ) was signed into law. The IRA established a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ( CAMT ) effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022, and imposed a 1% excise tax on the repurchase after December 31, 2022 of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations. The 1% excise tax did not have a material impact on the Company s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of June September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025 or the Company s condensed consolidated statements of income or cash flows for the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 or 2025.

The Company also earns revenue for performing services as a Super Validator and Validator on the Canton Network, (collectively, Validator Revenue ), included as a component of other revenue on in the condensed consolidated statements of income . As a Super Validator and Validator, the Company verifies network transactions and contributes to the consensus mechanism of the network. For these services, the Company earns Canton Coins and the number of Canton Coins earned in a particular period is variable based on the Canton Network s minting curve and burn-mint equilibrium, the amount of time that the Company s nodes are active during any given minting cycle (with new rounds beginning at regular 10 minute intervals throughout each day) in comparison to other network participants, the network designated weight of each of the Company s validators and, beginning in the second quarter of 2026, the Company s elected tier within the long-term locking commitment framework for Super Validators. Since the Canton Network is not an entity, it may not meet the definition of a customer in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers ( ASC 606 ) . As a result, the Company has determined that, in the absence of a contract with a customer, it applies ASC 606, by analogy to its Validator Revenue, considering the Canton Network s protocol as a contract-like arrangement. Each block creation or validation round is considered a separate performance obligation and the Validator Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the validation round is complete and the Canton Coins are transferred into the Company s digital wallet at the end of the round. Validator Revenue is recognized based on the fair value of each Canton Coin at contract inception, which has been deemed to be the start of each validation round, and therefore Validator Revenue will also vary based on any changes in the fair value of the Canton Coin, which may be highly volatile.
Some revenues earned by the Company have fixed fee components, such as monthly minimums or fixed monthly fees, and variable components, such as transaction - based fees and commissions. The breakdown of revenues between fixed and variable revenues for the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

We earn revenues, pay expenses, hold assets and incur liabilities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect our results of operations from period to period. In particular, fluctuations in exchange rates for non-U.S. dollar currencies may reduce the U.S. dollar value of revenues, earnings and cash flows we receive from non-U.S. markets, increase our operating expenses (as measured in U.S. dollars) in those markets, negatively impact our competitiveness in those markets or otherwise adversely impact our results of operations or financial condition. Future fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates and their impact on our results of operations and financial condition are inherently uncertain. As we continue to grow the size of our global operations, these fluctuations may be material. See Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Foreign Currency and Derivative Risk elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the change in revenue and operating income caused by fluctuations in foreign currency rates used in translation and realized and unrealized gains/losses from foreign currency remeasurement of transactions in nonfunctional currencies during the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 and 2025.
