Chris Concannon, CEO of MarketAxess, commented:

“In the second quarter, we made significant strides in enhancing our client franchise, increasing client engagement with X-Pro, and delivering on our new initiatives across our client-initiated, portfolio trading and dealer-initiated channels. Strong progress with our new initiatives, combined with a favorable market backdrop, helped drive record levels of revenue and ADV across most product areas and regions in the quarter.

As we move through the back-half of 2025, we are focused on growing our targeted block trading solution in the client-initiated channel, continuing to enhance our portfolio trading solution for clients, and launching our new Mid-X solution in the dealer-initiated channel. Additionally, over the last several months, we have made several strategic hires in key roles that we believe will enhance our ability to drive growth.

We are executing our long-term strategy to drive growth, we are showing strong progress with our new initiatives, and we now have key leaders in place to help drive growth in 2025 and beyond.”

Credit

•

Record total credit commission revenue of $176.6 million (including $33.6 million in fixed-distribution fees) increased $15.8 million, or 10%, compared to $160.8 million (including $33.2 million in fixed-distribution fees) in the prior year, and increased 4% from 1Q25 levels. A 22% increase in total credit ADV compared to the prior year, driven in part by strong growth in market volumes, was partially offset by a 7% decrease in total credit variable transaction fee per million (“FPM”). The 10% increase in total credit commission revenue was driven by strong growth in U.S. credit commission revenue, up 7%, record emerging markets commission revenue, up 16%, and record eurobonds commission revenue, up 22%, reflecting continued product and geographic diversification. The decline in 2Q25 total credit FPM both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter was due principally to protocol mix.

Rates

•

Record total rates commission revenue of $8.1 million increased $2.3 million, or 40%, compared to the prior year, and increased 16% from 1Q25 levels. A 58% increase in total rates ADV compared to the prior year, driven in part by strong growth in market volumes, was partially offset by a 9% decrease in FPM. The decrease in 2Q25 total rates FPM both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter was driven by the impact of product mix.

Other

•

Record total other commission revenue of $7.1 million increased $2.0 million, or 39%, compared to the prior year driven by the inclusion of approximately $1.8 million from RFQ-Hub, which was acquired in mid-May 2025.

Page 2

LOGO

Services revenue

•

Record services revenue of $27.7 million increased $1.7 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year, driven by growth across information, post-trade and technology services.

Information services

•

Information services revenue of $13.1 million increased $0.5 million, or 4%, compared to the prior year. The increase was principally driven by an increase of $0.4 million from the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and net new data contract revenue.

Post-trade services

•

Post-trade services revenue of $11.1 million increased $0.7 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year mainly due to an increase of $0.6 million from the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and net new contract revenue.

Technology services

•

Total technology services revenue of $3.5 million increased $0.5 million, or 16%, compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by higher license fees of $0.3 million and connectivity fees of $0.2 million from RFQ-hub, which was acquired in mid-May 2025.

Expenses

•

Total expenses of $127.6 million increased 10% from the prior year, including an increase of $1.7 million from the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Total expenses excluding notable items¹were $123.6 million, an increase of 6%.

Non-operating

•

Other income (expense): Other income was $5.6 million, up from $5.0 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by foreign exchange gains in the current quarter compared to foreign exchange losses in the prior quarter, offset by acquisition-related charges.

•

Tax rate: The effective tax rate was 26.9%, up from 24.8% in the prior year. The higher effective tax rate is due to an increase in current period accruals for the uncertain tax position reserve established in 1Q25.

Capital

•

The Company had $620.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, corporate bond investments and U.S. Treasury investments as of June 30, 2025, down from $698.6 million as of December 31, 2024. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Company’s credit facility.

•

A total of 379,667 shares were repurchased year-to-date through July 2025 at a cost of $80.0 million, including 167,783 shares repurchased during the second quarter at a cost of $36.7 million. As of July 31, 2025, a total of $145.0 million remained under the Board of Directors’ share repurchase authorization.

•

The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.76 per share, payable on September 3, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 20, 2025.

Other

•

Employee headcount was 881 as of June 30, 2025, up from 864 as of June 30, 2024, and up from 870 as of March 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP financial measures and other items

To supplement the Company’s unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin and free cash flow. From time to time, we present selected GAAP-basis financial results, excluding notable items. Notable items are revenues, expenses, other income (expense) and tax related items that are non-recurring and outside of the Company’s normal course of business or other notables, such as acquisition and restructuring charges or gains/losses on sales (collectively, “notable items”). We define EBITDA margin as EBITDA divided by revenues. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities excluding the net change in trading investments and net change in securities failed-to-deliver and securities failed-to-receive from broker-dealers, clearing organizations and customers, less expenditures for furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements and capitalized software development costs. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in conformity with GAAP. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken into consideration with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide additional information regarding the Company’s operating results because they assist both investors and management in analyzing and evaluating the performance of our business. Please refer to Tables 6, 7 & 8 for a reconciliation of: (i) selected GAAP-basis financial results, each excluding notable items, to their most directly comparable GAAP measure; (ii) GAAP net income to EBITDA and GAAP net income margin to EBITDA margin; and (iii) GAAP net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities to free cash flow, in each case, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
