Billy Hult, CEO of Tradeweb:

"The record quarterly revenue and volumes we delivered underscore the strength of our global, multi-asset platform and the continued structural shift toward electronic trading. We saw strong momentum in international client engagement and adoption, alongside accelerating use of automated trading workflows, as clients increasingly turned to electronic solutions — particularly amid heightened global volatility in March.

In our core markets, we continued to enhance our rates offering by advancing dealer algo execution for U.S. Treasuries, completing the first fully electronic swaption termination and launching multi-asset package trading for USD swaps. We also partnered with MAXEX to broaden institutional access to U.S. residential mortgages. In credit, increased adoption of electronic block trading continued to underscore the ongoing structural shift toward electronification, while ETFs remained an important and growing part of the ecosystem.

At the same time, we are investing in frontier areas that are shaping the future of electronic trading. Our investment in and partnership with Kalshi marks an important milestone in bringing institutional access to prediction markets into sharper focus. In digital assets, our initiatives, including on-chain repo activity on the Canton Network, build directly on our core strengths and support the evolution toward more continuous, 24/7 trading. We also led a $31 million Series B financing round of Crossover Markets and established a strategic partnership with the goal to deliver institutional spot crypto liquidity to clients globally. In parallel, we are continuing to advance our AI capabilities, ensuring we remain well positioned as these markets continue to evolve.

Taken together, we believe these efforts enable us to play a leading role in the convergence of traditional finance and digital markets. With a strong foundation in place, we remain focused on delivering for clients, investing in our platform and building on momentum across both our core business and emerging growth areas."

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Rates – Revenues of $344.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 increased 29.7% compared to prior year period (increased 24.9% on a constant currency basis). Rates ADV was up 44.2% from prior year period, driven by record ADV in U.S. government bonds, swaps/swaptions ≥ and < 1-year, mortgages and European government bonds. U.S. government bond ADV was up 15.9% from prior year period, driven by record institutional activity. Swaps/swaptions ≥ 1-year ADV was up 38.2% from prior year period, driven by a strong increase in risk trading activity due to overall inflationary and central bank policy concerns and global market sensitivity to geopolitical developments. European government bonds ADV was up 32.6% from prior year period, led by strong volumes across our institutional client channel. Mortgages ADV was up 20.5% from prior year period, reflecting elevated rate volatility amid macro uncertainty, alongside continued client adoption of electronic trading and sustained institutional engagement across mortgage products, including To-Be-Announced ("TBA") activity. Tradeweb's specified pool platform saw higher trading activity year-over-year ("YoY"), reflecting continued growth in client adoption.

Credit – Revenues of $138.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 increased 11.5% compared to prior year period (increased 8.7% on a constant currency basis). Credit derivatives ADV was up 59.5% from prior year period, driven by increased hedge fund and systematic account activity YoY and heightened credit volatility which led to increased swap execution facility ("SEF") and multilateral trading facility ("MTF") credit default swaps activity. U.S. credit ADV was up 14.0% from prior year period, driven by record ADV in fully electronic U.S. high grade credit, fully electronic U.S. high yield credit and electronically processed U.S. high grade credit, as well as strong client adoption across Tradeweb protocols, including in Portfolio Trading ("PT"), request-for-quote ("RFQ") and Tradeweb AllTrade®. Record European credit ADV was up 21.2% from prior year period, driven by strong activity across a wide range of protocols, including record traded volume in Tradeweb's Automated Intelligent Execution ("AiEX") tool. Municipal bond ADV was up 5.0% from prior year period, outperforming the market which was down 1% from prior year period (based on MSRB), led by strong growth across the retail and institutional client sectors. We reported 17.7% share of fully electronic U.S. high grade TRACE, down 33 basis points (bps) from prior year period and 7.4% share of fully electronic U.S. high yield TRACE, down 16 bps from prior year period. We also reported 25.0% total share of U.S. high grade TRACE, down 92 bps from prior year period and 9.8% total share of U.S. high yield TRACE, down 36 bps from prior year period. The 14.7% decline in cash credit average variable fees per million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to prior year period was primarily driven by the 2025 introduction of minimum fee floors and the migration of certain dealers from fully variable plans to fixed fee plans and a mix shift away from municipal bonds and retail U.S. credit, which carry a relatively higher fee per million, as well as a mix shift towards non-competition portfolio trading which carries a relatively lower fee per million. Excluding the impact of our previously disclosed minimum fee floors and dealer migration plans and this quarter's impact of product/protocol mix shirt, cash credit fee per million would be down approximately 1%.

Equities – Revenues of $41.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 increased 31.5% compared to prior year period (increased 25.2% on a constant currency basis). Equities ADV was up 22.6% from prior year period, driven by record activity in U.S. and international exchange traded funds ("ETFs").

Money Markets – Revenues of $47.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 increased 7.8% compared to prior year period (increased 6.0% on a constant currency basis). Money Markets ADV was up 13.2% from prior year period, driven by record activity in global repurchase agreements and Tradeweb ICD Portal activity, which was driven by existing clients and new client additions.

Market Data – Revenues of $36.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 decreased 4.6% compared to prior year period (decreased 5.5% on a constant currency basis) primarily due to the amendments to our LSEG market data license agreement effective November 1, 2025 and was partially offset by growth in our proprietary market data revenues. The amended market data license agreement resulted in a change in the timing of delivery of periodic historical data sets, with more frequent deliveries scheduled under the amended agreement and a corresponding decrease in revenue during the first quarter of 2026 that was partially offset by higher overall fees under the amended agreement. During the first quarter of 2025, $8.4 million of revenue was recognized from the periodic delivery of historical data sets delivered and recognized all in January 2025, as compared to quarterly delivery of historical data sets under the amended agreement beginning in the first quarter of 2026 and totaling $2.2 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2026.

Other – Revenues of $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 increased 56.2% compared to prior year period (increased 56.1% 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 $330.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 increased 8.2% compared to $305.6 million in prior year period, primarily due to (i) an increase in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to an increase in headcount and related salaries, bonus, 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 data strategy and infrastructure and increased data fees driven primarily by higher trading volumes period-over-period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily due to a decrease in foreign exchange losses.

Adjusted Expenses of $298.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 increased 20.2% (increased 15.3% on a constant currency basis) compared to prior year period primarily due to (i) an increase in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to an increase in headcount and related salaries, bonus, benefits and stock-based compensation associated with our continued growth, (ii) an increase in technology and communication expense due to increased investment in our data strategy and infrastructure and increased data fees driven primarily by higher trading volumes period-over-period and (iii) an increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to an increase in realized foreign exchange losses. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Non-operating Income – Other income (loss), net of $1.2 million of loss in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year period income of $4.2 million, primarily due to unrealized gains (losses) on our Canton Coin holdings, which totaled a loss of $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to income of $4.2 million in the prior year period, partially offset by $1.7 million net other income from other investments in the first quarter of 2026. Other income (loss), net is excluded from all non-GAAP financial measures.

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 months ended March 31, 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, 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.

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.
