NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tradeweb Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: TW), a leading, global operator of electronic marketplaces for rates, credit, equities and money markets, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.1

Lee Olesky, Chief Executive Officer of Tradeweb Markets, said, “Tradeweb’s strong, across-the-board performance during the second quarter reflects our continuous efforts to cultivate new markets and develop trading protocols that give clients greater choice in how they search and access liquidity. While we’ve made tremendous strides to date, significant opportunity remains to deliver products and services that enhance and streamline client trading strategies and workflows. Our constant experimentation and collaboration with clients to deliver new trading technologies is the engine that drives our growth.”

Second Quarter Highlights

• A new quarterly record for average daily volume (“ADV”) of $753.8 billion represented an increase of 39.6%
• New quarterly records for ADV in interest rate swaps and mortgages
• A new quarterly record for U.S. high-grade credit which accounted for 12.4% of TRACE volume
• Double-digit, year-over-year increases in revenues from all four asset classes covering rates, credit, equities and money markets plus market data
• Net income of $24.8 million, including net income attributable to Tradeweb Markets Inc. of $12.8 million and GAAP earnings per diluted share (“Diluted EPS”) of $0.09 for the quarter
• Adjusted EBITDA margin of 45.6%, Adjusted Net Income of $56.6 million and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share (“Adjusted Diluted EPS”) of $0.25 for the quarter

Gross revenue increased 11.4% (13.2% on a constant currency basis) to a record $190.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $171.0 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net income decreased to $24.8 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $38.9 million for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was driven by a non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $20.4 million related to the special award of options made to management and other employees in October 2018 (the “Special Option Award”), which, as a result of our initial public offering (“IPO”), we began to expense in the second quarter of 2019, as well as a net impact on depreciation and amortization (“D&A”) expense of $17.6 million as a result of the Refinitiv Transaction (as defined below) and the resulting revaluation of our balance sheet. Diluted EPS for Tradeweb Markets Inc. was $0.09 for the second quarter of 2019. Diluted EPS for Tradeweb Markets LLC was $0.18 for the second quarter of 2018.

[1] The historical financial information and other disclosures contained in this press release relate to periods that ended both prior to and after the completion of the Reorganization Transactions (as defined below). See “Presentation” below for an explanation of the financial reporting of historical results.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.2% to $86.9 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 45.6% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin of $74.8 million and 43.8%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2018 (on a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 217 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2018). Adjusted Net Income increased 17.0% to $56.6 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $48.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.25 for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $0.23 for the second quarter of 2018.

1. Constant currency growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects growth for the period excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.
2. Net income for the second quarter of 2019 included a non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $20.4 million related to the Special Option Award as well as a net impact on depreciation and amortization expense of $17.6 million as a result of the Refinitiv Transaction and the resulting revaluation of our balance sheet. See "Presentation" below for additional information regarding the Refinitiv Transaction.
3. Represents net income less net income attributable to non-controlling interests.
4. We present Diluted EPS for Tradeweb Markets Inc. for the second quarter of 2019 and for Tradeweb Markets LLC for the second quarter of 2018, as the Reorganization Transactions (as defined below) and the IPO were completed in April 2019. As a consequence, the Diluted EPS information for Tradeweb Markets Inc. and Tradeweb Markets LLC is not comparable. See “Presentation” and “Basic and Diluted EPS Calculations” below for additional information.
5. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and the attached schedules for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures.
6. We present Adjusted Diluted EPS for Tradeweb Markets Inc. for the second quarter of 2019 and for Tradeweb Markets LLC for the second quarter of 2018. Because Adjusted Diluted EPS gives effect to certain tax related adjustments to reflect an assumed effective tax rate for all periods presented and, for the second quarter of 2019, assumes all equity interests of Tradeweb Markets LLC are exchanged for shares of Class A or Class B common stock, we believe that Adjusted Diluted EPS for Tradeweb Markets Inc. and Tradeweb Markets LLC are comparable.

Discussion of Results

Rates – Revenues from rates of $107.1 million in the second quarter of 2019 increased 12.5% compared to the second quarter of 2018. ADV in rates of $511.9 billion for the second quarter of 2019 increased 45.5% due mainly to higher trading activity in interest rate swaps and swaptions – in particular, short-tenor swaps – as well as mortgages and U.S. Treasuries.

Credit – Revenues from credit of $39.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 increased 16.2% compared to the second quarter of 2018. ADV in credit of $12.2 billion for the second quarter of 2019 increased 3.6% due mainly to higher trading activity in U.S. high-grade and high-yield credit as well as Chinese bonds.

Equities – Revenues from equities of $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2019 increased 14.9% compared to the second quarter of 2018. ADV in equities of $7.1 billion for the second quarter of 2019 increased 2.9% due mainly to higher trading activity in institutional European ETFs and equity options, convertibles and swaps.

Money Markets – Revenues from money markets of $10.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 increased 21.9% compared to the second quarter of 2018. ADV in money markets of $222.6 billion during the quarter rose 31.3% due to the continued growth of bilateral electronic trading in repurchase agreements.

Market Data – Revenues from market data of $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 increased 11.5% compared to the second quarter of 2018 from the expansion of our market data license agreement with Refinitiv in November 2018.

Other – Revenues from other of $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 decreased 38.9% compared to the second quarter of 2018 due to the timing of fees for software development and implementation and lower fees from a third party for certain licensing and development.

Mr. Olesky added, “Growth in the second quarter was diversified across products, protocols, client sectors and regions. In absolute numbers, trading activity in interest rate swaps and repurchase agreements were the leading drivers of our overall volume growth year over year. At the same time, as a direct result of new initiatives, we are witnessing upticks in client interest in U.S. Treasuries, mortgages, U.S. credit, European ETFs and Chinese bonds. Furthermore, new trading technologies like our Automated Intelligent Execution (AiEX) tool are taking hold, to speed execution, lessen market risk, reduce human errors and create scale on the trading desk.”

Operating Expenses – Operating expenses of $159.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 included the non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $20.4 million related to the Special Option Award and a net impact on depreciation and amortization expense of $17.6 million as a result of the Refinitiv Transaction and the resulting revaluation of our balance sheet. Excluding all non-operating items, Adjusted Expenses were $113.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted Expenses increased 7.5% year over year due primarily to a rise in headcount and related increase in employee compensation and benefits expense. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Other Matters

Assets as of June 30, 2019 included $313.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. During the first half of 2019, Tradeweb generated $77.0 million of cash flow from operating activities and $59.3 million of Free Cash Flow representing year-over-year increases of 18.4% and 20.6%, respectively. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Updated Full-Year 2019 Guidance*

• Adjusted expenses of $460 - $475 million are expected to trend to the lower half of the range versus the midpoint
• Assumed non-GAAP tax rate of 26.4%
• Capital expenditures and capitalization of software of $42 - $48 million
• Acquisition and Refinitiv Transaction related depreciation and amortization expense of $98 million
• Non-cash, stock-based compensation expense associated with the Special Option Award of $1.6 - $1.7 million per quarter in the third and fourth quarters of 2019
• Eliminated guidance on full year net interest income of $0.5 - $1.0 million; future levels of interest income will fluctuate according to cash levels and reinvestment rates

*GAAP operating expenses and tax rate guidance are not provided due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain amounts due to a variety of factors including the unpredictability in the movement of foreign currency rates.

These and other important factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus filed with the SEC on April 5, 2019 and other documents of Tradeweb Markets Inc. on file with or furnished to the SEC, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this release are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, and the development of the industry and markets in which we operate, may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this release.

Presentation

The historical financial information and other disclosures contained in this press release relate to periods that ended both prior to and after the completion of the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO of Tradeweb Markets Inc. (unless the context otherwise requires, together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “we,” “our,” “Tradeweb,” “Tradeweb Markets” or the “Company”). The IPO closed on April 8, 2019. As a result of certain reorganization transactions (the “Reorganization Transactions”) completed in connection with the IPO, on April 4, 2019, Tradeweb Markets Inc. became a holding company whose sole material asset consists of its equity interest in Tradeweb Markets LLC (“TWM LLC”). As the sole manager of TWM LLC, Tradeweb Markets Inc. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of TWM LLC and, through TWM LLC and its subsidiaries, conducts its business. As a result of this control, and because Tradeweb Markets Inc. has a substantial financial interest in TWM LLC, Tradeweb Markets Inc. consolidates the financial results of TWM LLC and its subsidiaries. The historical financial information contained in this press release relating to periods prior to and including March 31, 2019, which we refer to as the “pre-IPO period,” pertain to TWM LLC, the predecessor of Tradeweb Markets Inc. for financial reporting purposes. The historical financial information contained in this press release relating to periods beginning on April 1, 2019, and through and including June 30, 2019, which we refer to as the “post-IPO period,” pertain to Tradeweb Markets Inc. The pre-IPO period excludes, and the post-IPO period includes, our financial results from April 1, 2019 through April 3, 2019. Although this period was prior to the completion of the Reorganization Transactions, we believe it is appropriate to include these financial results in the post-IPO period as our accounting close controls and procedures are generally designed for a month-end cutoff and the inclusion of these financial results in the post-IPO period had an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On October 1, 2018, Refinitiv Holdings Ltd. (“Refinitiv”), which is controlled by certain investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P., an affiliate of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, an affiliate of GIC Special Investments Pte. Ltd. and certain co-investors, indirectly acquired substantially all of the financial and risk business of Thomson Reuters Corporation and Thomson Reuters Corporation indirectly acquired a non-controlling ownership interest in Refinitiv (collectively, the “Refinitiv Transaction”). As a result of the Refinitiv Transaction, as a consolidating subsidiary of Refinitiv, we accounted for the Refinitiv Transaction using pushdown accounting. Due to the change in the basis of accounting resulting from the application of pushdown accounting, the financial information for the period beginning on October 1, 2018, and through and including June 30, 2019, which we refer to as the “Successor period,” and the financial information for the periods prior to, and including, September 30, 2018, which we refer to as the “Predecessor period,” are not comparable.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains “non-GAAP financial measures,” including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Expenses and Free Cash Flow, which are supplemental financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We make use of non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating our past results and future prospects. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Management and our board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to assess our financial performance and believe they are helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Further, our executive incentive compensation is based in part on components of Adjusted EBITDA.

We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS as supplemental metrics to evaluate our business performance in a way that also considers our ability to generate profit without the impact of certain items. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments included in Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS help to provide management with a measure of our operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations or are non-cash expenses.

We use Adjusted Expenses as a supplemental metric to evaluate our underlying operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations or are non-cash expenses.

We use Free Cash Flow to assess our liquidity in a way that considers the amount of cash generated from our core operations after expenditures for capitalized software development costs and furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements.

See the attached schedules for reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release to their most comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as alternatives to net income attributable to Tradeweb Markets Inc., net income, earnings per share, operating income, operating expenses or cash flow from operating activities or any other financial measure derived in accordance with GAAP. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment included in the reconciliations. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Expenses and Free Cash Flow, you should be aware that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.

We present certain growth information on a “constant currency” basis. Since our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate non-U.S. dollar revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars. Constant currency growth, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as growth excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. Constant currency information is calculated by translating the current period and prior period’s results using the average exchange rates for 2018. We make use of constant currency growth as a supplemental metric to evaluate our underlying performance between periods by removing the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We present certain constant currency growth information because we believe it provides investors and analysts a useful comparison of our results and trends between periods. This information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
