Lee Olesky, Chairman and CEO, Tradeweb Markets:

"Tradeweb delivered another quarter of robust year-over-year revenue growth thanks to strong contributions from multiple asset classes, showcasing our differentiated and diversified business model. While complex macroeconomic conditions and continued rates volatility made for challenging global markets, we saw increased adoption and engagement with a range of trading protocols. Institutional and wholesale clients continued to be active this quarter, and a surge in retail trading volumes was led by municipal bonds and U.S. Treasuries.



In June we launched the Spotlight Dealer Diversity Program, developed with input from the dealer and buy-side communities to promote diverse dealers on the Tradeweb platform. More recently, we were delighted to announce that Thomas Pluta will succeed Billy Hult as President of Tradeweb when Billy succeeds me as CEO on January 1, 2023. We remain sharply focused on collaborating with clients through challenging markets and positioning Tradeweb for continued growth.”

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Rates – Revenues of $151.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 increased 13.1% compared to prior year period (17.6% on a constant currency basis). Rates ADV was up 23.2% with record ADV in swaps/swaptions ≥ 1-year driven by robust client interest in the request-for-market (RFM) protocol, increased engagement from international clients and strong trading activity in emerging markets swaps.

Credit – Revenues of $84.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 increased 16.3% compared to prior year period (19.4% on a constant currency basis). Credit ADV was up 47.4% with record ADV in fully electronic U.S. High Grade credit and municipal bonds. Tradeweb's share of fully electronic TRACE volume for U.S. High Grade and U.S. High Yield for the quarter increased by +70 bps and +140 bps, respectively, compared to prior year period. Client adoption was strong across Tradeweb protocols, including request-for-quote (RFQ), Tradeweb AllTrade and portfolio trading.

Equities – Revenues of $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 increased 30.2% compared to prior year period (37.6% on a constant currency basis). Equities ADV was up 4.1%, with double-digit ADV increases in U.S. and European ETFs offset by double-digit ADV decreases in equity derivatives as market volatility remained elevated.

Money Markets – Revenues of $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 increased 7.3% compared to prior year period (10.5% on a constant currency basis). Money Markets ADV was up 15.5% led by record ADV in Repurchase Agreements.

Market Data – Revenues of $21.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 increased 5.1% compared to prior year period (7.0% on a constant currency basis). The increase was derived from increased third party market data fees and Refinitiv market data fees.

Other – Revenues of $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 decreased 3.0% compared to prior year period (2.9% decrease on a constant currency basis).

Operating Expenses of $190.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 increased 7.6% compared to $177.0 million in the prior year period due to: higher employee compensation and benefits associated with higher headcount to support growth and higher performance-related compensation, including $5.7 million in CEO Retirement Accelerated Stock-Based Compensation Expense recognized during the second quarter of 2022; higher depreciation and amortization expense; and higher technology and communications expenses primarily due to increased clearing and data fees driven by higher trading volumes; partially offset by lower general and administrative expense, as foreign exchange gains increased more than travel and entertainment expense increased following the easing of restrictions relating to the pandemic.

Adjusted Expenses of $154.5 million increased 9.9% (12.6% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period due to: higher employee compensation and benefits associated with higher headcount to support growth and higher performance-related compensation; higher general and administrative expenses; higher technology and communications expenses; and higher depreciation and amortization expenses. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Tradeweb Markets Inc. (unless the context otherwise requires, together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “we,” “our,” “Tradeweb,” “Tradeweb Markets” or the “Company”) closed its IPO 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 only material assets consist of its equity interest in Tradeweb Markets LLC (“TWM LLC”) and related deferred tax assets. 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.

Numerical figures included in this release have been subject to rounding adjustments and as a result totals may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the amounts that precede them and figures expressed as percentages may not total 100%.

Please refer to the Company's previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release contains “non-GAAP financial measures,” including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Expenses and Free Cash Flow, which are supplemental financial measures that are not calculated or 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT 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 non-acquisition related 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 EBIT, Adjusted EBIT 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.

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 annual average exchange rates for the prior period. We use 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.

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.
