  €75.8 million (-€40.0 million), mainly due to the non-underlying one-off loss in net treasury income:

  • Euronext confirmed the first phase of the migration of Borsa Italiana cash markets onto Optiq^® in March 2023. The migration to the Euronext state-of-the-art proprietary trading platform will provide Euronext and Borsa Italiana clients with significant benefits while retaining a strong local footprint, as demonstrated in the two previous successful migrations in Ireland and Norway.
  • Euronext confirmed the first phase of the expansion of Euronext Clearing with the expected launch of the equity clearing offering by the end of 2023. This is the first milestone in the transformation of Euronext Clearing to create the Euronext clearing house of choice for its cash equity markets, further ensuring strategic alignment between the Euronext markets and its clearing house.
• Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:

“This third quarter of 2022 demonstrated the robustness of Euronext’s diversified business model in a more challenging trading environment. We recorded strong growth in our non-volume related activities, as well as good performance of derivatives, FX and power trading activities. Euronext confirmed its position as the main trading venue in Europe this quarter, providing market participants with the highest market quality and depth. Combined with continued cost discipline, in line with our 2022 cost guidance, this led to robust adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income.

We continued working on the integration of the Borsa Italiana Group and delivery of the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan. €24.4 million cumulated run-rate annual synergies in relation to the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group were reached at the end of Q3 2022.

Going forward, the simplification of listing rules in Italy announced in September will facilitate access to financing for local and international issuers, further reinforcing Euronext’s position as the leading listing venue in Europe. Additional major milestones in the delivery of our ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan will be achieved in 2023. Italian and European clients will soon benefit from the migration of the Italian cash markets to the Euronext state-of-the-art proprietary trading platform Optiq^® in March 2023, joining the largest liquidity pool in Europe. In addition, in relation to the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group, Euronext Clearing will become the Euronext clearing house of choice for equity clearing by the end of 2023. These strategic deliveries will further unlock a significant part of the targeted synergies. Our diversified business model combined with continued cost discipline gives us the confidence to face macro-economic challenges in 2023.”

Euronext Q3 2022 financial performance

Q3 2022 revenue and income

In Q3 2022, Euronext consolidated revenue and income amounted to €301.4 million, down -14.0% compared to Q3 2021, mainly due to the €49.0 million non-underlying, one-off pre-tax loss (€35 million post-tax) related to the partial disposal of the Euronext Clearing portfolio⁹, partially offset by the robust performance of non-volume related activities and the good performance of derivatives, FX and power trading activities. Underlying revenue and income, excluding the non-underlying, one-off, loss related to the partial disposal of the Euronext Clearing portfolio, was slightly down -0.8% in Q3 2022, to €350.3 million. On a like-for-like basis and at constant currencies, Euronext consolidated revenue and income was down -0.8% in Q3 2022, to €349.4 million, compared to Q3 2021.

Non-volume related revenue accounted for 59% of underlying Group revenue in Q3 2022, compared to 57% in Q3 2021, reflecting the successful diversification towards non-volume related activities and challenging environment for cash trading and MTS cash trading this quarter. The underlying operating expenses excluding D&A coverage by non-volume related revenue ratio was at 138% in Q3 2022, compared to 142% in Q3 2021.

Q3 2022 adjusted EBITDA

Underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased to -€150.4 million, up +6.3%, reflecting continued cost discipline in a post-pandemic context and higher clearing expenses, and in line with 2022 guidance of €612 million underlying costs. On a like-for-like basis, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased by +5.6% compared to Q3 2021 that was positively impacted by the decrease of travel and marketing due to the pandemic.

Consequently, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totalled €199.9 million, down -4.4% compared to Q3 2021. This represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of 57.1%, down -2.6 points compared to Q3 2021 due to the decrease in volume-related revenue, which was partly offset by resilient non-trading related revenue and continued cost discipline. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2022 was down
-5.2%, to €199.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 57.0%, down -2.6 points compared to the same perimeter in Q3 2021.

Q3 2022 net income, share of the parent company shareholders

Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €38.8 million in Q3 2022, stable compared to Q3 2021. PPA related to acquired businesses accounted for €20.9 million.

Adjusted operating profit was €183.8 million, a -3.9% decrease compared to Q3 2021. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted operating profit was down -4.7% compared to Q3 2021, at €183.2 million.

€25.4 million of non-underlying expenses, including depreciation and amortisation, were reported in Q3 2022, related to the integration of the Borsa Italiana Group, the implementation of the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan and the PPA of acquired businesses.

Net financing expense for Q3 2022 was €4.6 million compared to a net financing expense of €7.3 million in Q3 2021. This decrease results from a positive revaluation of foreign currencies balances impact in Q3 2022.

Results from equity investments amounted to €1.7 million in Q3 2022, solely representing the contribution received from LCH SA, in which Euronext owns an 11.1% stake. As a reminder, in Q3 2021, Euronext reported €11.8 million of results from equity investments, reflecting a dividend payment by Euroclear in addition to the contribution received from LCH SA.

Income tax for Q3 2022 was €27.9 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 26.2% for the quarter (Q3 2021: €48.5 million and 29.0% respectively).

Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to the Borsa Italiana Group and Nord Pool amounted to €2.9 million in Q3 2022.

As a result, the reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, decreased by -34.5% for Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021, to €75.8 million, including the one-off loss due to the partial disposal¹⁰ of the Euronext Clearing portfolio. This represents a reported EPS of €0.71 basic and €0.71 fully diluted in Q3 2022, compared to €1.08 basic and €1.08 fully diluted in Q3 2021. The weighted number of shares used over the first nine months of 2022 was 106,652,256 for the basic calculation and 106,857,642 for the fully diluted calculation.

Adjusted net income, share of the parent company shareholders was down -5.5% to €129.5 million. Adjusted EPS (basic) was down -3.2% in Q3 2022, at €1.21 per share, based on 106,652,256 shares for the first nine months of 2022, compared to an adjusted EPS (basic) of €1.25 per share in Q3 2021, based on 92,447,841 shares for the first nine months of 2021.

In Q3 2022, Euronext reported a net cash flow from operating activities of €318.1 million, compared to €213.5 million in Q3 2021, reflecting higher positive changes in working capital partially offsetting the lower profit before tax. Excluding the impact on working capital from Euronext Clearing and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 179% of EBITDA in Q3 2022.

Business highlights

• Listing

Listing revenue was €54.0 million in Q3 2022, an increase of +6.3% compared to Q3 2021, reflecting the resilience of the listing offering driven by the good performance of equity follow-ons, Corporate Services and the positive impact of equity IPO revenue recognition over time¹¹. On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, listing revenue increased by +5.9% compared to Q3 2021.

Euronext’s primary equity listing business sustained its leading position in Europe with 18 new listings in Q3 2022. This compared to 51 new listings in the third quarter of 2021, which was a record year for new listings. The majority of new listings on Euronext were from Tech and innovation-driven companies. The listing of Teract became the sixth successful de-SPAC operation on Euronext markets in 2022, illustrating Euronext’s attractiveness for SPAC listings. In addition, Euronext welcomed its fourth listing from a Euronext Tech Leader company since the inception of the new Tech Leaders programme.

In Q3 2022, Euronext’s markets reported €143.8 million raised primary equity issues. This compares to a very strong Q3 2021 with €5.3 billion raised on Euronext primary markets.

Euronext’s secondary markets reported €4.8 billion raised in secondary equity issues in Q3 2022, compared to €37.7 billion in Q3 2021.

Euronext recorded another strong quarter for ETPs remaining a leading exchange in Europe for the listing of ETPs with 105 new listings.

Euronext sustained its position as the leading listing venue for bonds worldwide in Q3 2022¹² with over 52,500 bonds listed across all Euronext markets, despite a slowdown in global bond listing activity due to rising interest rates and concerns over economic growth. In Q3 2022, €172.8 billion in debt was raised on Euronext markets, reflecting the current market conditions, and compared to €336.2 billion raised in Q3 2021.

In total, €177.7 billion in equity and debt was raised on Euronext’s markets in Q3 2022, compared to €379.2 billion in Q3 2021.

Euronext Corporate Services reported a solid quarter in terms of revenue at €9.4 million in Q3 2022, up +4.3% compared to Q3 2021, resulting from a solid performance across the offering, despite the seasonally lower activity for events.

• Trading

Trading revenue on a reported basis.

• Cash trading
  
  

Cash trading revenue decreased by -10.2% to €67.3 million in Q3 2022, resulting from lower volumes, which were partially offset by improved revenue capture. Over the third quarter of 2022, Euronext recorded cash average daily volumes of €9.6 billion, a volume decrease of -11.6% compared to Q3 2021. Euronext continued to be the provider of best market quality with a sustained above-average EBBO presence across the equity markets it operates¹³.

Over the third quarter of 2022, Euronext cash trading yield was 0.53 bps, reflecting efficient yield management, and the market share of cash trading averaged 65.9%, in line with pre-COVID pandemic levels.

On 13 October 2022, Euronext hosted a virtual educational session on cash equity trading. A replay of the presentation and Q&A session is available here.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, cash trading revenue was down -10.2% in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021.

• Derivatives trading
  
  

Derivatives trading revenue increased by +3.3% to €14.0 million in Q3 2022 as a result of the strong traction of index derivatives and commodity derivatives trading, combined with enhanced revenue capture, offsetting weaker volumes in equity derivatives trading.

During the third quarter of 2022, average daily volume on financial derivatives was 513,781 lots, down -12.0% from Q3 2021 due to a decrease in equity futures and options trading, reflecting a strong comparison basis with a more dynamic environment for corporate events than usual in Q3 2021, and some uncertainties around derivatives transaction tax treatment in Q3 2022.

Average daily volumes on commodity derivatives were at 84,456 lots in Q3 2022, up +1.9% compared to Q3 2021, driven by a recovery of the high price environment at the end of the quarter and reflecting the quality of Euronext commodities flows from both financial and commercial players.

Euronext revenue capture on derivatives trading was €0.35 per lot for the third quarter of 2022, reflecting a positively geared volume mix and solid revenue capture.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, derivatives trading revenue was up +3.2% in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021.

• Fixed income trading
  
  

Fixed income trading reported revenue was at €21.4 million in Q3 2022, compared to €23.8 million in Q3 2021, reflecting an economic environment in Europe favouring money market trading volumes. MTS reported an overall robust performance in markets dominated by increasing interest rates. For the third quarter of 2022, MTS Cash reported €13.1 million of revenue and MTS Repo reported €5.4 million of revenue.

The third quarter saw the strong traction in Repo trading continue, with term-adjusted average daily volumes up +14.7% compared to Q3 2021 to €323.2 billion. This partially offset lower MTS Cash average daily volumes, down -34.0% to €15.4 billion, compared to €23.4 billion in Q3 2021.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, fixed income trading revenue was down -9.8% in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021.

• FX trading
  
  

FX trading reported revenue at €7.3 million in Q3 2022, up +30.1% from Q3 2021. Euronext FX trading volumes and revenue benefited from the continued positive momentum with heightened volatility, geographic expansion and product diversification.

Over the third quarter of 2022, average daily volumes of USD21.7 billion were recorded, up +24.2% compared to Q3 2021.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, FX trading revenue was up +11.2% in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021.

• Power trading
  
  

Power trading reported €7.8 million in revenue in Q3 2022, representing a strong growth of +23.5% compared to Q3 2021, driven by dynamic volumes, the increased footprint of Nord Pool in central Europe, UK and Ireland, and a continued robust performance in the Nordics. Over the third quarter of 2022, average daily day-ahead power traded was 2.39TWh, up +18.5% compared to Q3 2021, and average daily intraday power traded was 0.10TWh, up +76.8% compared to Q3 2021.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, power trading revenue was up +20.2% compared to Q3 2021.

• Investor Services

Investor Services reported €2.5 million revenue in Q3 2022, representing a +16.3% increase compared to a very strong Q3 2021, resulting from continued commercial expansion partially offset by a reduction of scope.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, Investor Services revenue was up +12.2% compared to Q3 2021.

• Advanced Data Services

Advanced Data Services revenue was €53.0 million in Q3 2022, up +6.3% from Q3 2021, driven by the strong traction of the core data business, solid index activities and good momentum of the advanced data solutions franchise.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, Advanced Data Services revenue was up +6.5% compared to Q3 2021.

• Post Trade

• Clearing
  
  

Clearing revenue was up +5.5% to €29.1 million in Q3 2022, as a result of solid activity from Euronext Clearing and higher revenue received from LCH SA driven by increased derivatives and bond clearing volumes. Non-volume related clearing revenue (including membership fees, treasury income received from LCH SA) accounted for €9.5 million of the total clearing revenue in Q3 2022.

Euronext Clearing activities reflected an uplift in cleared volumes for derivatives and bond clearing. In Q3 2022, Euronext Clearing revenue included €1.5 million from derivatives clearing, €3.8 million from equities clearing, and €2.2 million from bonds clearing.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, clearing revenue was up +5.5% compared to Q3 2021.

• Net treasury income
  
  

As announced with the Q2 2022 results, Euronext Clearing has engaged in a partial disposal of its portfolio¹⁴. Subsequently, a one-off pre-tax loss of €49.0 million has been recorded in Q3 2022 as net treasury income. The post-tax impact is a loss of €35 million. As a consequence, the net treasury income reported a loss of €38.3 million in Q3 2022. Adjusting for the one-off impact mentioned above, the net treasury income was at €10.7 million, reflecting a lower spread compared to Q2 2022 on stable level of cash held over the quarter.

As the sale of the portfolio had no negative impact on the available capital of the Group, Euronext decided that the dividend for the fiscal year 2022 will be adjusted to neutralize any negative impact from this operation.

• Custody, Settlement and other Post-Trade activities
  
  

Revenue from Custody, Settlement and other Post-Trade activities, including the activities of Euronext Securities (Copenhagen, Milan, Oslo, Porto), was €57.1 million in Q3 2022, up +2.8% compared to Q3 2021, resulting from the diversified business model of Euronext Securities enabling it to capture value in a normalising settlement environment. 29,541,795 settlement instructions were processed in the third quarter of 2022 and assets under custody reached €6.1 trillion. As a reminder, the third quarter is usually the lowest quarter in Euronext Securities activity, reflecting several seasonal impacts.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, Custody, Settlement and other Post-Trade revenue was up +0.5% compared to Q3 2021.

• Euronext Technologies and Other revenue

Euronext Technologies and Other revenue grew to €26.0 million in Q3 2022, up +6.7% from Q3 2021, reflecting a whole quarter of additional revenue generated through Euronext’s new Core Data Centre following the migration to the new data centre on 6 June 2022.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, Euronext Technologies and Other revenue was up +6.5% compared to Q3 2021.

Q3 2022 corporate highlights since publication of the Q2 2022 results on 28 July 2022

• New listing framework in Italy

On 23 September 2022, Euronext announced the simplification of the listing rules at Borsa Italiana, to the benefit of companies aiming to raise capital on its regulated market, Euronext Milan. Driven by the integration of Borsa Italiana into Euronext, the changes to Euronext Milan’s listing rules align the listing process in Italy with European and global standards.

The amendments to the listing rules of Euronext Milan aim to simplify the requirements for issuers preparing to go public, thereby reducing workload and time for market participants.

Specifically, the documentation requirements, the extent of Borsa Italiana’s role in reviewing listings and the Sponsor’s responsibilities have been significantly simplified.

These simplifications are in line with Euronext’s commitment to facilitating access to financing on its venues, for both local and international issuers.

The migration of Borsa Italiana markets to Euronext’s state-of-the-art Optiq® technology and single order book, planned for 2023¹⁵, will bring further benefits to Italian capital markets, increasing the liquidity and visibility of Italian issuers.

The amendments to the Borsa Italiana listing rules came into force on 3 October 2022.

• ESG innovation across the Group

Euronext has introduced a new section for ESG bonds from companies with the most ambitious climate targets, aligned with the aim to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C. To be included in this section, issuers of ESG bonds must have committed to science-based climate targets for a 1.5° pathway, validated by the SBTi.

Euronext ESG Funds are now available to investors via a trading platform for open-ended investment funds. It gives investors access to a broad range of ESG funds available from leading asset managers within a safe and secure trading infrastructure. ESG funds available on Euronext are classified as Article 8 funds (light green) or Article 9 funds (dark green) in line with the product classifications in the SFDR.

• New family of crypto indices

In August 2022, Euronext introduced a family of indices which provide institutional investors with independent and robust cryptocurrency reference prices, to meet their growing need for diversification. This initiative is part of Euronext’s strategy aiming to offer its clients indirect exposure to crypto assets through a diversified product set.

Based on a resilient methodology developed by Compass Financial Technologies, Euronext Crypto Indices serve as independent and transparent prices to value cryptocurrency portfolios, or as benchmarks for investors wishing to issue investment products tracking cryptocurrency prices.

Euronext Crypto Indices are calculated based on the collection of all observable rates for one specific cryptocurrency on different selected cyptocurrency exchanges¹⁶, following a methodology designed by Compass Financial Technologies, the BMR Index Administrator and Calculation Agent. To be considered as eligible, exchanges need to meet strict criteria in terms of compliance and regulation, transparency, reliability, continuity and IT robustness.

Euronext has removed the exceptional items line from its financial statements. Consequently, costs previously reported as exceptional items have from Q1 2022 been included into their respective lines within Euronext operating expenses as non-recurring items.

The €150 million of implementation costs to deliver on the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan targets are therefore considered as non-recurring items and will be withdrawn from Q1 2022 from underlying recurring costs.

The computation of adjusted net income and earnings per share has been adjusted accordingly. The computation of reported net income and earnings per share are not impacted.

2024 strategic plan targets remain unchanged and are not affected by this change in reporting.

The new non-IFRS indicators are defined below.

For comparative purposes, the company provides unaudited non-IFRS measures including:

• Operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation;

• Underlying revenue and income as the total of revenue and income, excluding non-recurring revenue and income;
• Non-underlying items as items of revenue, income and expense that are material by their size and/or that are infrequent and unusual by their nature or incidence are not considered to be recurring in the normal course of business and are classified as non-underlying items on the face of the income statement within their relevant category in order to provide further understanding of the ongoing sustainable performance of the Group;
• Adjusted operating profit as the operating profit adjusted for any non-underlying revenue and income and non-underlying costs, including PPA of acquired businesses;
• EBITDA as the operating profit before depreciation and amortisation;
• Adjusted EBITDA as the adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortisation adjusted for any non-underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation;
• EBITDA margin as EBITDA divided by total revenue and income;
