Billy Hult, CEO of Tradeweb:
“We delivered a strong third quarter with record trading volumes and ADV, driven by broad-based growth across rates, equities and money markets. Despite historically low interest-rate volatility and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, we continued to execute on opportunities that positioned us to drive meaningful change across our markets – and this commitment was reflected in our sustained momentum and strong volumes.
This quarter was also defined by several market milestones across both our legacy businesses and emerging areas – including the successful execution of the first fully electronic bilateral multi-asset package list trade and the first fully automated European government bond basis RFQ trade. We advanced the goal of building more interconnected markets and 24/7 liquidity by working with the Canton Network to offer the first real-time, fully on-chain financing of U.S. Treasuries against USDC. Additionally, alongside other investors, we led Fnality’s Series C funding round, supporting the development of a next-gen global settlement network.
These initiatives showcase the central role we play in the evolution of global markets – and our commitment to working closely with clients to build a more transparent global fixed income marketplace. As we look ahead to 2026, we’ll remain focused on leading initiatives that advance innovation and drive purposeful change.”

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Rates – Revenues of $274.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 increased 17.7% compared to prior year period (increased 15.3% on a constant currency basis). Rates ADV was up 12.1% from prior year period, driven by record ADV in mortgages and swaps/swaptions < 1-year. U.S. government bond volumes were supported by continued client engagement across a diverse set of trading protocols. European government bonds ADV was up 22.9% from prior year period, led by strong volumes across our institutional and wholesale client channels. Mortgages ADV was up 12.3% from prior year period, reflecting record volumes driven by a growing number of clients executing on the platform and robust To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) activity, supported by higher real money trading activity YoY. Specified pool volumes also saw strong gains, primarily due to broader client adoption and an expanding network of liquidity providers leveraging our platform technology.
Credit – Revenues of $121.3 million in the third quarter of 2025 increased 2.6% compared to prior year period (increased 1.2% on a constant currency basis). Municipal bond ADV was up 36.1% from prior year period, led by strong growth across the retail and institutional platforms. U.S. credit ADV was up 8.5% from prior year period, driven by strong client adoption across Tradeweb protocols, most notably in request-for-quote (“RFQ”) and Tradeweb AllTrade®. European credit ADV was up 19.8% from prior year period, driven by strong activity across a wide range of protocols, including Tradeweb’s Automated Intelligent Execution (“AiEX”) tool. We reported 18.6% share of fully electronic U.S. high grade TRACE, up 85 basis points (bps) from prior year period and 7.5% share of fully electronic U.S. high yield TRACE, down 26 bps from prior year period. We also reported 26.2% total share of U.S. high grade TRACE, up 150 bps from prior year period and 9.8% total share of U.S. high yield TRACE, down 67 bps from prior year period.
Equities – Revenues of $29.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 increased 16.9% compared to prior year period (increased 13.6% on a constant currency basis). Equities ADV was up 14.2% from prior year period, driven by record activity in convertibles/swaps/options and higher trading volumes for International and U.S. exchange traded funds (“ETFs”).
Money Markets – Revenues of $42.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 increased 18.7% compared to prior year period (increased 17.7% on a constant currency basis). Money Markets ADV was up 11.9% from prior year period, driven by record activity in global repurchase agreements.
Market Data – Revenues of $30.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 increased 3.6% compared to prior year period (increased 3.0% on a constant currency basis) primarily due to increases in proprietary third party market data revenue.
Other – Revenues of $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 increased 51.6% compared to prior year period (increased 51.5% on a constant currency basis) primarily due to an increase in digital asset revenue earned for performing validation services on the Canton Network.
Operating Expenses of $298.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 increased 3.0% compared to $289.6 million in prior year period, primarily due to (i) increased investment in our data strategy and infrastructure, as well as increased clearance and data fees driven primarily by higher trading volumes period-over-period, (ii) an increase in depreciation and amortization expense primarily related to the assets acquired in connection with the 2024 acquisition of ICD and other investments in our infrastructure and (iii) an increase in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to an increase in headcount associated with our continued growth. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees related to acquisitions.
Adjusted Expenses of $253.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 increased 12.5% (increased 11.1% on a constant currency basis) compared to prior year period primarily due to (i) increased investment in our data strategy and infrastructure, as well as increased clearance and data fees driven primarily by higher trading volumes period-over-period, (ii) an increase in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to an increase in headcount associated with our continued growth and (iii) an increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to increases in travel and entertainment expenses and realized foreign exchange losses.

*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. Expense guidance assumes an average 2025 Sterling/US$ foreign exchange rate of 1.28.

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 principal assets consist of its direct and indirect 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 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K for capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein.
UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS
The interim financial results presented herein for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements related to, among other things, our guidance, including full-year 2025 guidance and full-year 2025 revenue guidance related to the LSEG market data license agreement, pending and completed acquisitions, partnerships and collaborations, future performance, the industry and markets in which we operate, our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects and assumptions and future events are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the 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 events or performance and future events, 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. In addition, even if future events, our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity, and events in the industry and markets in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this release, they may not be predictive of events, results or developments in future periods. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this release speaks only as of the date of such statement. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this release.
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 Net Income per diluted share (“Adjusted Diluted EPS”), Adjusted Expenses, Free Cash Flow and constant currency change, 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, 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.
We present certain changes 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 change, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as change 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 change as a supplemental metric to evaluate our underlying performance between periods by removing the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We present certain constant currency change 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.
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, net income margin, earnings per share, operating income, operating expenses, cash flow from operating activities or any other financial measure prepared or 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 EBT, 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.
MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA
This release includes estimates regarding market and industry data that we prepared based on our management’s knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate, together with information obtained from various sources, including publicly available information, industry reports and publications, surveys, our clients, trade and business organizations and other contacts in the markets in which we operate. In presenting this information, we have made certain assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of, and our experience to date in, the markets in which we operate. While such information is believed to be reliable for the purposes used herein, no representations are made as to the accuracy or completeness thereof and we take no responsibility for such information.
TRADEWEB SOCIAL MEDIA

Information about Tradeweb, its business and its results of operations may also be announced by posts on the Company’s accounts on the following social media channels: Instagram, LinkedIn and X. The information that we post through these social media channels may be deemed material. As a result, we encourage investors, the media, and others interested in Tradeweb to monitor these social media channels in addition to following our investor relations website, press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts.
