Billy Hult, CEO of Tradeweb:
“Our third quarter 2026 revenue and volumes reflect the strength and breadth of our global, multi-asset platform, with average daily volume increasing 22.4% year-over-year. Against a backdrop of rising Treasury yields, shifting central bank policy and geopolitical uncertainty, we continued helping clients access liquidity and manage risk while investing in opportunities to drive our long-term growth.
Innovation was a constant across our core and frontier markets. We enhanced Tradeweb Ai-Price with more responsive corporate bond pricing, expanded our Saudi debt market offering, and reached new milestones in digital assets, including transactions involving tokenized U.S. Treasuries and fully on-chain repo. These developments underscore our focus on bringing new efficiencies to trading, settlement and collateral mobility.
In October, we announced our agreement to acquire Trumid, the largest acquisition in our history and a significant step forward in our credit strategy. We've always been builders of marketplaces, and this transaction reflects our belief in combining strategic acquisitions with organic innovation. By bringing together Trumid's differentiated trading protocols and hedge fund relationships with our global reach and institutional network, we see significant opportunities to connect trading across the entire bond lifecycle, develop new solutions with our partners and accelerate innovation in global credit markets.
Our strategy remains focused on solving real challenges for clients, expanding our capabilities and investing in the future of electronic markets. We believe this approach positions Tradeweb to capture new opportunities and deliver sustainable, long-term growth across a range of market conditions.”

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Rates – Revenues of $324.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 increased 18.2% compared to prior year period (increased 18.9% on a constant currency basis). Rates ADV was up 33.8% from prior year period. U.S. government bond ADV was up 28.0% from prior year period, driven by robust institutional and wholesale activity, with September 2026 marking the most active month for U.S. government bond trading on our platform this year. Swaps/swaptions ≥ 1-year ADV was up 42.4% from prior year period, driven by global central bank policy changes, continued geopolitical tensions and uncertainty surrounding inflation. European government bonds ADV was up 24.5% from prior year period led by strong volumes across our institutional client channel and a growing number of clients trading across a diverse set of trading protocols. Mortgages ADV was down 3.6% from prior year period, against exceptionally strong prior-year performance. The 10.5% decline in rates derivatives ≥ 1-year average variable fees per million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to prior year period was primarily driven by higher compression activity which carries a comparatively lower fee per million as well as lower duration.
Credit – Revenues of $133.0 million in the third quarter of 2026 increased 9.6% compared to prior year period (increased 10.0% on a constant currency basis). U.S. credit ADV was up 23.9% from prior year period, as client adoption continued across trading protocols, most notably in Portfolio Trading ("PT"), Request-for-Quote ("RFQ") and Tradeweb AllTrade®. European credit ADV was up 8.4% from prior year period, driven by a diverse set of protocols, particularly Tradeweb Automated Intelligent Execution ("AiEX"), which reached a record in September 2026 as clients increasingly turned to automated execution. Credit derivatives ADV was up 61.3% from prior year period, driven by increased hedge fund and systematic account activity year-over-year ("YoY") which led to increased swap execution facility ("SEF") and multilateral trading facility ("MTF") credit default swaps activity. Municipal bond ADV was up 9.7% from prior year period, relative to the broader market which was up 13% from prior year period, based on the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ("MSRB"), driven by elevated new issuance which Tradeweb does not participate in. We reported 19.9% share of fully electronic U.S. high grade TRACE(3), up 130 basis points (bps) from prior year period and 7.9% share of fully electronic U.S. high yield TRACE, up 40 bps from prior year period. We also reported 27.9% total share of U.S. high grade TRACE, up 170 bps from prior year period and 9.9% total share of U.S. high yield TRACE, up 10 bps from prior year period. The 10.6% decline in cash credit average variable fees per million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to prior year period was primarily driven by a mix shift away from higher fee per million municipal bonds and retail U.S. credit and towards PT which carries a comparatively lower fee per million.
Equities – Revenues of $38.4 million in the third quarter of 2026 increased 28.8% compared to prior year period (increased 29.8% on a constant currency basis). Equities ADV was up 14.4% from prior year period, driven by robust activity in our institutional and wholesale channels, including strong activity in U.S. and international exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), which included an expanded client base and clients' increased adoption of Tradeweb AiEX YoY.
Money Markets – Revenues of $44.2 million in the third quarter of 2026 increased 3.0% compared to prior year period (increased 3.0% on a constant currency basis). Money Markets ADV was up 6.0% from prior year period, driven by strong global repurchase agreement ADV as a result of increased client activity across the platform, as well as Tradeweb ICD Portal activity, which was driven by continued activity from existing clients and new client additions. This was partially offset by less client demand for commercial paper and discount notes YoY.
Market Data – Revenues of $36.9 million in the third quarter of 2026 increased 19.6% compared to prior year period (increased 19.7% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to amendments to our LSEG market data license agreement which were effective as of November 2025. The amended market data license agreement included higher overall fees and a change in the timing of the delivery of periodic historical data sets, with more frequent deliveries scheduled under the amended agreement and a corresponding increase in revenue during the third quarter of 2026.
Other – Revenues of $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2026 decreased 17.3% compared to prior year period (decreased 17.3% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to lower digital asset revenue earned for performing validation services on the Canton Network, driven by scheduled changes in the Canton Network’s minting curve and its allocation of rewards to Super Validators and lower software development and implementation revenue on behalf of certain clients.
Operating Expenses of $331.1 million in the third quarter of 2026 increased 11.0% compared to $298.2 million in prior year period, primarily due to (i) an increase in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation expense tied to our financial performance and an increase in headcount and related salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation associated with our continued growth, (ii) an increase in technology and communication expense primarily due to increased investment in our artificial intelligence ("AI") and data strategy and infrastructure, as well as higher data and clearance fees driven primarily by higher trading volumes period-over-period and (iii) an increase in professional fees primarily due to higher technology consulting expenses and professional fees primarily related to mergers and acquisitions and other strategic investing activities.
Adjusted Expenses of $288.1 million in the third quarter of 2026 increased 13.9% (increased 15.1% on a constant currency basis) compared to $253.1 million in prior year period primarily due to (i) an increase in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation expense tied to our financial performance and an increase in headcount and related salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation associated with our continued growth and (ii) an increase in technology and communication expense due to increased investment in our AI and data strategy and infrastructure, as well as higher data and clearance fees driven primarily by higher trading volumes period-over-period. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.
Non-operating Income – Other income (loss), net of $18.7 million of income in the third quarter of 2026 decreased 52.5% compared to $39.4 million in prior year period. Third quarter 2026 other income was primarily due to the reclassification of $27.5 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into other income upon the July 1, 2026 conversion of our holding of a convertible note into publicly traded common shares of Securitize and $14.4 million in unrealized gains on a minority equity investment, partially offset by a $24.0 million unrealized loss relating to a decrease in fair value of our Canton Coin holdings. Other income (loss), net is excluded from all non-GAAP financial measures.

OTHER MATTERS
Updated Full-Year 2026 Guidance*
-
Adjusted Expenses: $1,155 - 1,175 million (trending towards the middle of the range)
-
Acquisition and Refinitiv Transaction related depreciation and amortization expense: $160 million
-
Assumed non-GAAP tax rate: ~23.5% - 24.5%
-
Cash capital expenditures and capitalized software development: ~$107 - 117 million
-
LSEG Market Data Contract Revenue: ~$105 million
The adjusted expense guidance has been revised to reflect the year-to-date revenue growth coupled with our current expectations for the remainder of the year. Depreciation and amortization, assumed non-GAAP tax rate, expenditures and LSEG Market Data Contract Revenue guidance is unchanged from the guidance we provided last quarter.
*GAAP operating expenses and tax rate guidance are not provided due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain amounts due to a variety of factors including the unpredictability in the movement of foreign currency rates. Expense guidance assumes an average 2026 Sterling/US$ foreign exchange rate of 1.32. Our updated full-year 2026 guidance does not incorporate the impact of any potential strategic acquisitions that have been announced by us but not yet closed. |

3 Beginning August 31, 2026, FINRA changed a TRACE reporting rule to exclude certain duplicate, affiliated trades that had been previously counted in industry volumes. Most market participants began reporting on a voluntary basis under the amended rule for September 2026 reporting, with mandatory compliance beginning August 2, 2027. This change resulted in lowered reported U.S. High Grade TRACE volumes and increased Tradeweb's U.S. High Grade electronic share growth as a percentage of TRACE for the third quarter of 2026. The impact on the third quarter of 2026 U.S. High Yield share growth was minimal. TRACE and Tradeweb have not restated prior periods and therefore these amounts may not be comparable.

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, 2026 and 2025 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 2026 guidance and full-year 2026 revenue guidance related to the LSEG market data license agreement, expansion and growth opportunities and other synergies resulting from acquisitions of companies (including with respect to Tradeweb's proposed acquisition of Trumid and the acquisition's effect on our business), 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.
