Interactive Brokers Group Announces 2Q2022 Results

GAAP DILUTED EPS OF $0.72, ADJUSTED1 EPS OF $0.84

GAAP NET REVENUES OF $656 MILLION, ADJUSTED NET REVENUES OF $717 MILLION

Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global electronic broker, announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.72 for the current quarter and $0.84 as adjusted. For the year-ago quarter, reported diluted earnings per share were $1.00 and $0.82 as adjusted.

Reported net revenues were $656 million for the current quarter and $717 million as adjusted. For the year-ago quarter, reported net revenues were $754 million and $650 million as adjusted.

Reported income before income taxes was $392 million for the current quarter and $453 million as adjusted. For the year-ago quarter, reported income before income taxes was $541 million and $437 million as adjusted.

Financial Highlights

(All comparisons are to the year-ago quarter.)

  • Commission revenue increased 5% to $322 million on higher customer options and futures trading volume tempered by lower stock volume.
  • Net interest income increased 27% to $348 million on higher benchmark interest rates and customer balances, partially offset by a decline in securities lending activity.
  • Other income decreased $175 million to a loss of $57 million. This decrease was mainly comprised of the non-recurrence of a $113 million gain related to our strategic investment in Up Fintech Holding Limited (“Tiger Brokers”), $44 million related to our currency diversification strategy, and $7 million related to our U.S. government securities portfolio.
  • Reported pretax profit margin was 60% for the current quarter and 63% as adjusted. For the year-ago quarter, reported pretax margin was 72% and 67% as adjusted.
  • Total equity of $10.6 billion.

The Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share. This dividend is payable on September 14, 2022, to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2022.

Business Highlights

(All comparisons are to the year-ago quarter.)

  • Customer accounts increased 36% to 1.92 million.
  • Customer equity decreased 19% to $294.8 billion, including approximately 3% due to an omnibus broker that is now using a trust company for custody.
  • Total DARTs2 decreased 6% to 2.17 million.
  • Cleared DARTs decreased 7% to 1.93 million.
  • Customer credits increased 13% to $92.5 billion.
  • Customer margin loans decreased 13% to $42.6 billion.

Effects of Foreign Currency Diversification

In connection with our currency diversification strategy, we base our net worth in GLOBALs, a basket of 10 major currencies in which we hold our equity. In this quarter, our currency diversification strategy decreased our comprehensive earnings by $158 million, as the U.S. dollar value of the GLOBAL decreased by approximately 1.46%. The effects of the currency diversification strategy are reported as components of (1) Other Income (loss of $53 million) and (2) Other Comprehensive Income (loss of $105 million).

Includes income from financial instruments that has the same characteristics as interest, but is reported in other fees and services and other income in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Note: The term “GAAP” in the following explanation refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

1 Adjusted net revenues, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income available for common stockholders and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G.

  • We define adjusted net revenues as net revenues adjusted to remove the effect of our currency diversification strategy and our net mark-to-market gains (losses) on investments2.
  • We define adjusted income before income taxes as income before income taxes adjusted to remove the effect of our currency diversification strategy and our net mark-to-market gains (losses) on investments.
  • We define adjusted net income available to common stockholders as net income available for common stockholders adjusted to remove the after-tax effects attributable to IBG, Inc. of our currency diversification strategy and our mark-to-market gains (losses) on investments.

Management believes these non-GAAP items are important measures of our financial performance because they exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and may be useful to investors and analysts in evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating a meaningful comparison of our results in the current period to those in prior and future periods. Our currency diversification strategy and our mark-to-market on investments are excluded because management does not believe they are indicative of our underlying core business performance. Adjusted net revenues, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, GAAP net revenues, income before income taxes, net income attributable to common stockholders and diluted EPS.

2 Mark-to-market on investments represents the net mark-to-market gains (losses) on our U.S. government and municipal securities portfolio, which are typically held to maturity, investments in equity securities that do not qualify for equity method accounting which are measured at fair value, and certain other investments, including equity securities taken over by the Company from customers related to losses on margin loans.

3 The income tax effect is estimated using the corporate income tax rates applicable to the Company.
