**4Q22 overview of results** 

**Revenues and trading volume** 

***Credit***

• Total credit commission revenue of **$153.7** million (including **$32.8** million in
fixed-distribution fees) increased **$12.8** million, or **9%**, compared to **$140.9** million (including **$31.9** million in fixed-distribution fees) in the prior year. The increase in total credit commission
revenue was driven principally by higher trading volumes and strong estimated market share gains across most credit products, partially offset by lower average FPM. The decline in average FPM for total credit to **$163.87**, compared to **$180.24** in the fourth quarter of 2021, was mainly due to the lower duration of bonds traded in U.S. high-grade, driven principally by higher bond yields, as well as product mix-shift in other credit
products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **90%** of credit volume on the platform was executed by institutional clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total credit trading ADV of **$12.0** billion, up **24%**, driven by a **22%** increase in
U.S. high-grade ADV and strong growth across U.S. high-yield, Eurobonds and municipal bonds product areas.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record 20.9% (+210 bps)** composite corporate bond estimated market share,<sup>1</sup> up from **18.8%**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **22%** increase in U.S. high-grade ADV to **$5.5** billion with estimated market share of **21.1%**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Estimated U.S. high-grade TRACE market ADV increased **23%**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record** U.S. high-yield estimated market share of **20.5% (+500 bps)**, up from **15.5%**, on
ADV of **$1.8** billion, representing an increase of **33%**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Emerging markets ADV of **$2.7** billion, up **3%**; up approximately **5%** excluding the impact
of foreign currency fluctuations. FINRA TRACE-reportable emerging markets market volumes<sup>2</sup> down **19%**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record 31.1% (+290 bps)** estimated market share of FINRA TRACE-reportable emerging markets
trading volume.<sup>2</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record 18.2% (+500 bps)** Eurobonds estimated market share, up from **13.2%** on **record** ADV
of **$1.6** billion, representing an increase of **34%**; up approximately **49%** excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record 5.0% (+260 bps)** municipal bond estimated market share on **record** ADV of **$500** million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record 38%** of total credit trading volume was executed via Open Trading, up from **36%** in the prior
year. Estimated **price improvement <sup>3</sup>** via Open Trading was approximately **$246** million, and average estimated **price improvement per million** was **$988**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record $31** billion in portfolio trading volume, up **135%** from **$13** billion in 4Q21,
and **$25** billion in 3Q22.

![LOGO](g398424dsp3a.jpg)

***Rates***

• Total rates commission revenue of **$4.7** million decreased **$0.3** million, or **6%**, compared to the prior year, driven by a **6%** decrease in U.S. Treasury ADV to **$18.0** billion. The average FPM for total rates products was **$4.16**, slightly above fourth quarter 2021.

***Information services & post-trade services***

• **Record** information services revenue of **$10.4** million increased **$0.8** million, or **9%**, compared to the prior year. The increase in revenue was principally driven by new data contract revenue, mainly offset by the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, information
services revenue would have increased approximately **17%**.

• Post-trade services revenue of **$8.8** million decreased **$0.5** million, or **6%**,
compared to the prior year. The decrease in revenue was principally driven by the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, which was partially offset by net new contract revenue and higher transaction reporting revenue on higher volumes. Excluding
the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, post-trade services revenue would have increased approximately **8%**.

**Expenses** 

• Total expenses of **$100.2** million increased **$7.8** million, or **8%**. The
increase in expenses was driven principally by higher employee compensation and benefits as a result of the increase in headcount, higher technology and communication expenses due to higher subscription costs and cloud hosting expense and higher
general and administrative expense which includes an increase in a reserve related to a contractual dispute with a vendor. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, total expenses would have increased approximately **12%**.

**Non-operating** 

• **Other income (expense):** Other income was **$1.8** million, up from **($1.0)** million in the
prior year. The current quarter included higher interest income of **$3.2** million due to rising interest rates. The prior year period benefited from a $0.6 million revaluation gain on a contingent liability recognized during the
fourth quarter of 2021.

• **Tax rate:** The effective tax rate was **25.4%**, compared to **27.1%** in the prior year. The higher
effective tax rate in the prior year period was driven by return-to-provision adjustments.

**Revenues and trading volume** 

***Credit***

• Total credit commission revenue of **$618.6** million (including **$126.9** million in
fixed-distribution fees) increased **$14.4** million, or **2%**, compared to **$604.2** million (including **$119.2** million in fixed-distribution fees) in the prior year. The increase in total credit commission
revenue was driven principally by higher trading volumes and strong estimated market share gains across most credit products, partially offset by lower average FPM. The decline in average FPM for total credit to **$166.96**, compared to **$184.78** in 2021, was mainly due to the lower duration of bonds traded in U.S. high-grade, driven principally by higher bond yields, as well as product mix-shift.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record 15.4% (+330 bps)** Eurobonds estimated market share, up from **12.1%** on **record** ADV
of **$1.5** billion, representing an increase of **10%**; up approximately **23%** excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record 4.5% (+240 bps)** municipal bond estimated market share on **record** ADV of **$379** million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record 36%** of total credit trading volume was executed via Open Trading, up from **35%** in the prior
year. Estimated **price improvement <sup>3</sup>** via Open Trading was approximately **$945** million, and average estimated **price improvement per million** was **$1,006**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record $92** billion in portfolio trading volume, up **217%** from **$29** billion in 2021.

***Rates***

• Total rates commission revenue of **$22.6** million increased **$5.8** million, or **34%**, compared to the prior year, driven by a **32%** increase in U.S. Treasury ADV to a **record $21.5** billion. The average FPM for total rates products was **$4.10**, compared to **$4.00** in 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record 3.5% (+90 bps)** U.S. Treasury estimated market share, up from **2.6%**.

***Information services & post-trade services***

• **Record** information services revenue of **$39.3** million increased **$1.1** million, or **3%**, compared to the prior year. The increase in revenue was principally driven by new data contract revenue, mainly offset by the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, information
services revenue would have increased approximately **9%**.

• Post-trade services revenue of **$36.9** million decreased **$2.0** million, or **5%**,
compared to the prior year. The decrease in revenue was principally driven by the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and planned customer attrition in connection with the Regulatory Reporting Hub integration, which was partially offset by net
new contract revenue and higher transaction reporting revenue on higher volumes. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, post-trade services revenue would have increased approximately **6%**.

**Expenses** 

• Total expenses of **$391.4** million increased **$29.7** million, or **8%**. The increase in
expenses was driven principally by higher employee compensation and benefits as a result of the increase in headcount, increased investments to enhance the trading system and data products, higher technology and communication expenses due to higher
subscription costs and cloud hosting expense and higher general and administrative expense which includes a reserve related to a contractual dispute with a vendor. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, total expenses would have
increased approximately **11%**.

**Non-operating** 

• **Other income (expense):** Other income was **$11.4** million, up from **($3.3)** million in the
prior year. The increase in other income was driven principally by foreign currency translation gains, higher interest income due to rising interest rates and income from the Company's unconsolidated equity investment.

• **Tax rate:** The effective tax rate was **26.0%,** compared to **22.8%** in the prior year. The higher
effective tax rate was driven by a decrease in estimated excess tax benefits related to share based compensation awards and the impact of a tax charge of **$3.2** million related to a settlement with New York State.

**Capital** 

• The Company had **$514.5** million in cash, cash equivalents and investments; there are no outstanding
borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

• The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of **$0.72** per share, payable on February 22, 2023 to
stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 8, 2023.

**Other** 

• The Company had a **record 2,068** total active client firms, representing an increase of **10%** and a record **1,006** total active international client firms, representing an increase of **5%**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company also had **record** active traders of **11,679** (up **6%**), consisting of a **record 6,151** domestic traders (up **3%**) and a **record 5,528** international traders (up **9%**).

• Employee headcount was **744** as of December 31, 2022, compared to **676** as of December 31,
2021 and **732** as of September 30, 2022. The increase in headcount compared to the prior year was due to the continued investment in the Company's growth initiatives, including geographic expansion, trading automation and new trading
protocols.

**Guidance for 2023** 

For full-year 2023, the Company is providing the following guidance:

• Total expenses are expected to be in the range of **$418.0** million to **$446.0** million. Based
on the midpoint of the stated guidance range, operating expenses are expected to increase by approximately **10%**. This 2023 guidance is based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2022.

• The Company's overall effective tax rate is expected to be between **25.0%** and **26.0%**.

• Capital expenditures to support new protocols, products and trading platform enhancements are expected to be in
the range of **$52.0** million to **$58.0** million. This 2023 guidance is based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2022.

**Non-GAAP financial measures and other items** 

To supplement the Company's unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), EBITDA margin and free cash flow. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken into consideration with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide additional information regarding the Company's operating results because they assist both investors and management in analyzing and evaluating the performance of our business. See the attached schedule for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA, GAAP net income margin to EBITDA margin and GAAP cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow.

The Company also presents revenue and expense growth rates excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company believes that it is useful to provide investors with this framework that is also used by management to assess how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for product areas reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the comparative period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period.
