Billy Hult, CEO of Tradeweb:

"Tradeweb delivered strong fourth-quarter results, reporting record revenue of $521 million. This performance reflected consistent execution across our global platform and the strength of our diversified business model. We continued to invest in our core markets while shaping the future of institutional market structure and digital finance. Tradeweb completed the first on-chain electronic auction for brokered certificates of deposits, announced a collaboration with Chainlink to publish FTSE U.S. Treasury Benchmark Closing Prices on-chain, and continued to play a central role in evolving the Canton Network. Tradeweb also expanded electronic execution in Europe, with its first invoice spread trade via request-for-market, and continued to expand its emerging markets presence by launching an alternative trading system for sukuk and SAR-denominated debt instruments in Saudi Arabia.

All in, Tradeweb reported its 26th consecutive year of record annual revenue in 2025, underscoring the earnings durability of our multi-asset model spanning multiple client sectors and geographies. That momentum has continued into 2026, with January average daily volume of $3.1 trillion thanks to double-digit YoY ADV growth across rates, credit and money markets. As electronification continues to advance and trading evolves with the rise of tokenization and digital-native asset classes, Tradeweb is well-positioned to build the institutional trading structure of the future – one that’s more connected, transparent, and resilient than ever before.”

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS: FOURTH QUARTER 2025

Rates – Revenues of $279.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 16.2% compared to prior year period (increased 12.9% on a constant currency basis). Rates ADV was up 33.5% from prior year period, driven by an 82.1% increase in swaps/swaptions < 1-year and record volume in swaps/swaptions ≥ 1-year. Mortgages ADV was up 9.7% from prior year period, driven by increased To-Be-Announced ("TBA") activity, which was led by heightened participation from real-money accounts and mortgage originators, alongside elevated dollar-roll trading. Tradeweb's specified pool volumes also delivered strong ADV growth supported by continued expansion in client and dealer participation. European government bonds ADV was also a record, up 29.7% from prior year period, driven by robust volume across our institutional and wholesale client channels and U.S. government bond volume remained robust.

Credit – Revenues of $118.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 4.3% compared to prior year period (increased 2.5% on a constant currency basis). Credit ADV was up 22.9% from prior year period, driven by strong activity in credit derivatives, U.S. and European credit and municipal bond volumes. U.S. credit ADV was up 4.5% from prior year period, reflecting continued client adoption across Tradeweb products and protocols, most notably in request-for-quote ("RFQ"), Tradeweb AllTrade® and Portfolio Trading ("PT"). European Credit ADV was up 15.6% from prior year period, driven by robust activity across a wide range of protocols including Tradeweb's Automated Intelligent Execution tool ("AiEX") and PT. Municipal bond ADV was up 17.3% from prior year period. We reported 18.3% share of fully electronic U.S. high grade TRACE, which remained flat from prior year period and 8.1% share of fully electronic U.S. high yield TRACE, up 20 bps from prior year period. We also reported 25.7% total share of U.S. high grade TRACE, down 110 bps from prior year period and 10.0% total share of U.S. high yield TRACE, which remained flat from prior year period.

Equities – Revenues of $31.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 9.7% compared to prior year period (increased 5.9% on a constant currency basis). Equities ADV was up 15.3% from prior year period driven by record volume in U.S. ETFs, which was led by strong year-over-year growth in institutional and wholesale trading.

Money Markets – Revenues of $45.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 3.1% compared to prior year period (increased 2.0% on a constant currency basis). Money Markets ADV was up 10.5% from prior year period, primarily driven by record ADV in global repurchase agreements, which was supported by increased client participation.

Market Data – Revenues of $33.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 12.6% compared to prior year period (increased 11.5% on a constant currency basis). The increase was derived primarily from higher fees resulting from our amended LSEG market data license agreement effective November 1, 2025 and other increases in proprietary third party market data revenue.

Other – Revenues of $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 94.3% compared to prior year period (increased 94.3% 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 $300.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 9.2% compared to $274.8 million in the prior year period, primarily due to (i) an increase in general and administrative expenses as a result of a decrease in foreign exchange gains, (ii) an increase in employee compensation and benefits as a result of an increase in headcount to support our continued growth and (iii) an increase in technology and communication expense due to continued investment in our data strategy and infrastructure and increased clearance and data fees driven primarily by higher trading volumes from prior year period.

Adjusted Expenses of $264.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 11.9% (increased 9.0% on a constant currency basis) compared to prior year period primarily due to (i) an increase in employee compensation and benefits as a result of an increase in headcount to support our continued growth, (ii) an increase in technology and communication expense due to continued investment in our data strategy and infrastructure and increased clearance and data fees driven primarily by higher trading volumes from prior year period and (iii) an increase in general and administrative expenses primarily as a result of a decrease in foreign exchange gains. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Non-operating Income – Other income (loss), net of $207.1 million of income in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $208.2 million compared to the prior year period loss of $1.1 million, primarily due to realized and unrealized gains on our Canton Coin holdings, which totaled a gain of $205.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $0.2 million in prior year period. In November 2025, spot trading of the Canton Coin began across several global digital asset exchanges. Other income (loss), net is excluded from all non-GAAP financial measures.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS: FULL-YEAR 2025

Tradeweb recorded its 26th consecutive year of record annual revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, as total revenues increased 18.9% (increased 17.5% on a constant currency basis) to $2.1 billion compared to full year 2024.

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 AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

The interim and full year financial results presented herein for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited.

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 2026 guidance and full-year 2026 revenue guidance related to the LSEG market data license agreement, any acquisitions, investments, 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.
