Euronext publishes Q3 2025 results and announces a share repurchase programme

Euronext publishes Q3 2025 results and announces a share repurchase programme

Euronext has delivered the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, driven by the expansion of non-volume-related businesses, resilient trading and clearing revenues and continued cost discipline.

Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 6 November 2025 – Euronext, the leading European capital market infrastructure, today publishes its results for the third quarter of 2025.

• Q3 2025 revenue and income was up +10.6%¹ to €438.1 million:

Non-volume-related revenue and income represented 60% of total revenue and income and covered 162% of underlying operating expenses, excluding D&A²:

• Securities Services revenues grew to €77.3 million (+6.0%), driven by double-digit revenue growth in custody and settlement, supported by sustainable growth in assets under custody, resilient settlement activity and strong growth of value-added services;
• Capital Markets and Data Solutions revenue grew to €168.4 million (+13.9%), driven by the first full-quarter contribution from Admincontrol and continued growth in Advanced Data Solutions;
• Net Treasury Income grew to €16.7 million (+23.8%), demonstrating the benefits of the Euronext Clearing expansion.

Volume-related revenue was driven by a resilient performance across asset classes:

• FICC³ Markets revenue grew to €81.9 million (+11.0%), driven by continued double-digit growth in fixed income and commodities trading and clearing;
• Equity Markets revenue grew to €93.7 million (+6.6%), driven by robust volumes and revenue capture in cash equity trading and clearing.

• Underlying operating expenses excluding D&A were at €161.4 million (+7.3%). Euronext continued to deploy the planned level of growth investments. Thanks to rigorous cost discipline on recurring expenses, Euronext upgrades its guidance for underlying operating cost excluding D&A in 2025 to €660 million (from €670 million initially).
• Adjusted EBITDA was €276.7 million (+12.6%) and adjusted EBITDA margin was 63.2% (+1.2pts).
• Adjusted net income was €169.0 million and adjusted EPS was €1.68.
• Reported net income was €149.7 million and reported EPS was €1.49.
• Net debt to EBITDA⁴ was at 1.5x at the end of September 2025, down from 1.8x at the end of June 2025.
• Euronext will launch a share repurchase programme of a maximum of €250 million (around 2% of Euronext’s outstanding share capital). The programme will commence on 18 November 2025 and will conclude no later than 31 March 2026. This share repurchase programme is enabled by Euronext’s swift deleveraging path. It demonstrates Euronext’s proactive approach to capital allocation and strong confidence in the growth prospects of the Group.
• Key figures for the third quarter of 2025:

*Due to a different dividend payment schedule, Euronext received €23.4 million of results from equity investments in Q3 2024, but none in Q3 2025 (dividend was received in Q2 this year).

• Progress with the delivery of ‘Innovate for Growth 2027’:
  • On 22 September 2025, Euronext launched the first mini-sized, cash-settled futures on major European government bonds, expanding its derivatives franchise into fixed income⁶. This milestone aims to increase market flexibility and accessibility, attract a broader range of investors and strengthen Euronext’s position as a leading venue for fixed income products.
  • On 30 September 2025, Euronext launched Euronext ETF Europe, creating the first fully integrated marketplace for ETFs and ETPs across Europe⁷. This achievement is designed to unify the European ETF market, reduce fragmentation and improve operational efficiency. The initiative aims to provide issuers with streamlined access to all Euronext markets, offer investors deeper liquidity and more competitive pricing, and support the development of a stronger European Savings and Investment Union. This initiative is widely supported by leading European and global ETF issuers and major brokers.
  • On 6 October 2025, Euronext launched a voluntary exchange offer to acquire all shares of HELLENIC EXCHANGES-ATHEX STOCK EXCHANGE S.A. (“ATHEX”)⁸. ATHEX shareholders can exchange existing ATHEX shares for newly issued Euronext shares at an exchange ratio of one new Euronext share for every 20 existing ATHEX shares until 17 November 2025. This development marks a significant step towards a more integrated and competitive European capital market.

Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:
“In the third quarter of 2025, Euronext delivered solid revenue and income of €438.1 million, driven by organic growth and acquisitions. This marks our sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit topline growth. Throughout the quarter, we continued to invest in growth and maintained a rigorous cost discipline on recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA reached nearly €280 million in Q3 2025, marking a significant +12.6% increase compared to Q3 2024.

All the Euronext teams are fully engaged to deliver the targets of the Innovate for Growth 2027 strategic plan and interactions continue to progress with all our clients and partners to achieve these objectives. We launched the first fully integrated European marketplace for ETFs, with substantial efficiency gains and transparency for the entire value chain, including issuers, market makers, distributors, custodians and end investors. To boost retail participation, we have introduced the first-ever mini-sized, cash-settled futures on the main European government bonds. We are providing the innovative and competitive solutions that the European market needs. This is also reflected in the growing number of clients that actively support our CSD expansion, a key requisite for the success of this initiative.

The continued success of Euronext has been recognised by our investors and has led to the inclusion of Euronext in the CAC 40®, the French blue-chip index, providing additional liquidity to our stock.

We continue to deploy capital in a disciplined manner, leveraging our robust financial position. Our ongoing offer for ATHEX Group demonstrates a unique opportunity to accelerate the development and attractiveness of Greek markets internationally, generating efficiencies and competitiveness across the Group.

We deleveraged from 1.8x Net debt to adjusted EBITDA to 1.5x in just three months. Supported by this deleveraging trajectory, we are pleased to announce the launch of a share repurchase programme of up to €250 million. This programme underlines our proactive approach to capital allocation and the confidence of Euronext’s management in the attractive growth prospects of the Group.”

Q3 2025 business highlights

• Non-volume-related revenue
  • Securities Services

Revenue from Custody and Settlement in Q3 2025 was at €77.3 million, +6.0% compared to Q3 2024. This strong performance reflects Euronext’s sustainable growth in assets under custody, resilient settlement activity and strong growth of value-added services. Assets under custody reached €7.5 trillion at the end of the quarter, up +8.9% compared to the end of Q3 2024. Over 32.6 million instructions were settled via Euronext Securities during the third quarter of 2025, up +1.6% compared to the third quarter of 2024.

Other Post Trade revenue, which includes membership fees and other non-volume-related clearing fees, was €6.7 million in Q3 2025. The -32.0% decrease compared to Q3 2024 stems from the internalisation of the treasury income related to Euronext derivatives flows in September 2024, which are now integrated in the Net Treasury Income line.

• Capital Markets and Data Solutions

Primary Markets revenue was €46.2 million in Q3 2025, an increase of +3.0% compared to Q3 2024. Euronext sustained its leading position for equity listing, with a solid rebound in the third quarter with 20 new listings.

Advanced Data Solutions revenue was €66.2 million in Q3 2025, up +6.5% compared to Q3 2024. This strong performance reflects the ongoing growth in data solutions driven by growing client demand for diversified datasets and increased interest from retail clients.

Corporate and Investor Solutions and Technology Services revenue grew by +37.3% in Q3 2025 to €56.0 million. This strong performance reflects the contribution of Admincontrol for a full quarter and solid growth of investor solutions and colocation services.

• Net Treasury Income

Net Treasury Income was at €16.7 million, +23.8% compared to Q3 2024. This reflects the benefit from the Euronext Clearing expansion and the internalisation of treasury income from LCH SA following the derivatives clearing migration, completed in September 2024.

• Volume-related revenue
  • FICC Markets

Fixed income trading and clearing revenue reached €46.8 million in Q3 2025, up +14.7% compared to Q3 2024, driven by double-digit growth in MTS Cash and MTS Repo volumes, supported by the expansion in the Dealer-to-Client segment and international growth.

Commodities⁹ trading and clearing revenue reached €27.6 million in Q3 2025, up +11.3% compared to Q3 2024, reflecting record intraday power trading volumes and recovery of volumes on agricultural commodity trading and clearing.

FX trading revenue was down -8.3%, at €7.5 million in Q3 2025, reflecting lower volatility and the negative currency impact of the USD.

• Equity Markets

Cash equity trading and clearing revenue¹⁰ was €82.5 million in Q3 2025, up +11.5% compared to Q3 2024 driven by resilient activity and revenue capture. Euronext recorded average daily cash trading volumes of €11.0 billion, up +14.8% compared to Q3 2024. Euronext reached solid average revenue capture on cash trading at 0.53 bps for the third quarter of 2025. Euronext market share on cash equity trading averaged 63.0% in Q3 2025.

Financial derivatives trading and clearing revenue was €11.2 million in Q3 2025, -19.4% compared to Q3 2024. This mostly reflects lower volatility. Following the clearing migration, certain clearing fees are now reported in the line Other Post Trade revenues, and as such are not fully comparable with Q3 2024.

Q3 2025 financial performance

• Q3 2025 adjusted EBITDA

Underlying operating expenses excluding D&A¹¹ were at €161.4 million (+7.3%). The increase compared to Q3 2024 reflects investments in growth and the impact of acquisitions performed in 2025, partially offset by cost discipline.
As a result of the double digit growth in revenue, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached €276.7 million, up +12.6% compared to Q3 2024. This represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of 63.2%, up +1.2pts vs. Q3 2024. On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, adjusted EBITDA grew by +10.3% compared to Q3 2024.
Q3 2025 non-underlying operating expenses excluding D&A amounted to €1.5 million, mostly related to the integration of recent acquisitions. As a consequence, reported EBITDA was at €275.2 million, up +13.9% compared to Q3 2024.

• Q3 2025 net income, share of the parent company shareholders

Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €49.3 million in Q3 2025, +4.4% more than Q3 2024. PPA related to acquired businesses accounted for €19.7 million. Adjusted operating profit was €253.5 million, up +12.8% compared to Q3 2024. Euronext reported a net financing expense of €6.8 million in Q3 2025, compared to €2.9 million net financing income in Q3 2024. The variation reflects decreasing interest rates, lower cash position after the redemption of the €500 million bond, the recognition of non-cash interest expense related to the convertible bonds and the impact of currency variations.
Income tax for Q3 2025 was €58.5 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 26.7% for the quarter, compared to 23.8% in Q3 2024. In Q3 2024, the tax rate was positively impacted by the tax-exempt €23.4 million dividend received. Due to a different dividend payment schedule, Euronext received dividends in Q2 2025 and expects to receive a second dividend in Q4 2025, and none in Q3 2025. Share of non-controlling interests amounted to €11.0 million, correlated with the resilient performance of MTS and Nord Pool.
As a result, the reported net income (share of the parent company shareholders) decreased by -6.1%for Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024, to €149.7 million. This represents a reported EPS of €1.49 basic and €1.46 diluted. Adjusted net income, share of the parent company shareholders, was down -6.5% to €169.0 million. Adjusted EPS (basic) was €1.68 and adjusted EPS (diluted) was €1.64. The weighted number of shares used over the third quarter of 2025 was 101,294,214 for the basic calculation and 102,688,870 (including convertible bonds) for the diluted calculation, compared to 103,649,167 and 104,036,188 respectively over the third quarter of 2024. The difference in share count is due to the share repurchase programme executed by Euronext and the consideration of the convertible bonds under IAS 33.
In Q3 2025, Euronext reported a net cash flow from operating activities of €401.0 million, compared to €237.4 million in Q3 2024, mainly reflecting higher working capital from Euronext Clearing and Nord Pool CCP activities in Q3 2025. Excluding the impact of working capital from Euronext Clearing and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 99.9% of EBITDA in Q3 2025.
