Euronext publishes Q4 and full year 2024 results

Euronext delivered double-digit revenue growth in 2024 thanks to its diversified revenue profile and confirms the achievement of its 2024 targets. Euronext reached record adjusted EPS in 2024 through cost discipline and strategic capital allocation. 2025 will be a year of investment for innovation and growth.

Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 13 February 2025 – Euronext, the leading European capital market infrastructure, today publishes its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024.

  • Full year 2024 revenue and income was up +10.3% at €1,626.9 million:
    • Non-volume related revenue and income represented 58% of total revenue and income (compared to 60% in 2023) and covered 153% of underlying operating expenses, excluding D&A0F1 (vs. 145% in 2023):
      • Custody and Settlement revenue grew to €270.5 million (+8.7%), driven by higher assets under custody, dynamic settlement activity and strong growth of value-added services;
      • Advanced Data Services revenue grew to €241.7 million (+7.5%), driven by continued demand for fixed income trading data, power trading data and dynamic retail usage. Revenue was supported by the acquisition of GRSS, a leading provider of services to benchmark administrators;

This reflects the continued strong performance of corporate solutions and resilient listing revenue.

  • Adjusted net income1 was €682.5 million (+16.7%) and adjusted EPS was €6.59 (+19.6%).

  • Dividend proposal to the 2025 Annual General Meeting

A dividend of €292.8 million will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting on 15 May 2025. This represents 50% of 2024 reported net income, in line with Euronext’s dividend policy. This dividend represents an increase of +14.0% compared to 20235F6.

  • Euronext continues its cost discipline and invests in strategic growth

In 2024, Euronext reported underlying expenses (excl. D&A) in line with the revised guidance of €620 million. This compares to an initial guidance of €625 million, which did not take into account the impact of any acquisitions executed over the course of 2024.

2024 normalised underlying expenses (excl. D&A) were at approximately €640 million, taking into account approximately €8 million of positive one-off items and the full-year impact of bolt-on acquisitions.

Euronext expects its total underlying expenses (excl. D&A) for 2025 to be around €670 million. Euronext expects its 2025 underlying expenses (excl. D&A) to be stable at around €640 million compared to 2024 normalised underlying expenses (excl. D&A), as savings and synergies are expected to entirely offset inflationary impacts. In addition, Euronext plans to invest around 5% of its normalised underlying expenses (excl. D&A) to deliver strategic growth projects, as highlighted during the Investor Day on 8 November 2024.

  • Progress with the delivery of “Innovate for Growth 2027”
    • Euronext will accelerate the delivery of its power futures ambition with the contemplated acquisition of Nasdaq’s Nordic power futures business, announced on 28 January 2025.
    • Euronext continues to leverage its clearing house to launch innovative derivatives products. Euronext will launch fixed income derivatives on major European government bonds, including the first-ever cash-settled mini futures in September 2025, delivering unparalleled accessibility and flexibility to investors.
    • Euronext announced a strategic collaboration with Euroclear to enhance Euronext Clearing’s collateral management offering. This collaboration is a major enabler of Euronext’s ambition to expand its leading Italian repo clearing franchise to a large range of European government bonds.

Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:

“In 2024, we delivered double-digit topline growth thanks to the solid performance of non-volume related activities, excellent performance of FICC trading, and the successful clearing expansion in Europe. For the first time, Euronext reached the significant threshold of over €1 billion in adjusted EBITDA, an increase of +16.4% compared to last year. Our notable adjusted net income growth of +16.7% compared to last year, to €682.5 million underscores our profitability and our robust financial health. Adjusted EPS (basic) was up +19.6% in 2024, at €6.59 per share, compared to €5.51 per share in 2023. This increase reflects Euronext’s strong performance and a lower number of outstanding shares over 2024 due to Euronext’s share repurchase programme.

In 2024, Euronext achieved several key milestones that allowed us to expand our presence across the entire capital markets value chain, as we have finalised the integration of the Borsa Italiana Group. We have exceeded our 2024 financial targets for revenue and EBITDA growth. We have also strengthened our non-volume business with strategic acquisitions such as GRSS, Substantive Research, and Acupay.

In 2025, we are building the foundations to achieve our 2027 growth targets and we are investing to innovate for growth. We have already begun with the announced acquisition of Nasdaq’s Nordic power futures business6F7. This addition will significantly contribute to the growth of our FICC trading and clearing business. We are pleased to announce the most significant innovation in financial derivatives in recent years, the launch of cash-settled mini futures on European government bonds. Finally, we have made a first major step in the expansion of our Repo clearing franchise through a strategic collaboration with Euroclear to enhance Euronext Clearing’s collateral management offering. Euronext has promising growth opportunities ahead, which will further reinforce our position as the leading capital market infrastructure in Europe.”

  • 2024 revenue and income

In 2024, Euronext’s revenue and income was €1,626.9 million, up +10.3% compared to 2023. This resulted from solid organic growth in non-volume related businesses, a dynamic trading environment across asset classes, and the positive contribution of the Euronext Clearing European expansion.

On a like-for-like basis and at constant currencies, Euronext consolidated revenue and income was up +10.0% in 2024, at €1,618.2 million, compared to 2023.

Non-volume related revenue accounted for 58% of underlying Group revenue in 2024, compared to 60% in 2023. This reflects the strong growth in trading and post-trade revenue, and solid performance of non-volume-related revenue. Non-volume-related revenue covered 153% of underlying operating expenses excluding D&A, compared to 145% in 2023.

  • 2024 adjusted EBITDA

Underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased slightly to €620.5 million, up +1.7%, in line with the revised guidance of €620 million, and lower than the initial guidance of €625 million. Cost discipline, FX impacts and positive one-offs (around €8.3 million) partly offset growth investments and acquisitions impacts.

On a like-for-like basis at constant currencies, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased by +1.0% compared to 2023, which highlights the impact of acquisitions on a reported basis.

Consequently, adjusted EBITDA for the year totalled €1,006.4 million, up +16.4% compared to 2023. This represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of 61.9%, up +3.3 points compared to 2023. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted EBITDA for 2024 was up +16.3%, to €1,003.2 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 62.0%, up +3.4 points compared to 2023.

  • 2024 net income, share of the parent company shareholders

Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €188.7 million in 2024, up +10.9%, resulting from migration projects and acquisitions. PPA related to acquired businesses accounted for €81.2 million and is included in depreciation and amortisation.

2024 adjusted operating profit was €922.9 million, up +16.8% compared to 2023 adjusted operating profit.

€136.1 million of non-underlying expenses, including depreciation and amortisation, were reported in 2024, related to the implementation of the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan and the PPA of acquired businesses.

Net financing income for 2024 was €17.5 million, compared to a net financing expense of €0.2 million in 2023. This increase resulted from higher interest income due to higher interest rates and strong cash generation, offsetting the cost of debt in 2024.

Results from equity investments amounted to €34.7 million in 2024, including €23.4 million of dividend received from Euroclear and the €10.1 million of dividend earned from Sicovam. In 2023, Euronext reported €83.1 million of results from equity investments. This was a result of the capital gain on the disposal of Euronext’s stake in LCH SA and the disposal of Euronext’s investment in Tokeny, as well as the dividend received from Euroclear and Sicovam.

Income tax for 2024 was €218.4 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 26.0% for 2024. In 2023, the income tax rate was 23.3%, positively impacted by non-taxable income. Income tax amounted to €162.7 million.

Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to the Borsa Italiana Group and Nord Pool amounted to €35.1 million in 2024.

As a result, the reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, increased by +14.0% for 2024 compared to 2023, to €585.6 million. This represents a reported EPS of €5.65 basic and €5.63 diluted in 2024, compared to €4.84 basic and €4.83 diluted in 2023. This increase reflects the strong results and a lower number of shares over 2024 compared to 2023.

Adjusted net income, share of the parent company shareholders was up +16.7% to €682.5 million. Adjusted EPS (basic) was up +19.6% in 2024, at €6.59 per share, compared to an adjusted EPS (basic) of €5.51 per share in 2023.

The weighted number of shares used over 2024 was 103,578,980 for the basic calculation and 103,983,870 for the diluted calculation, compared to 106,051,799 and 106,376,338 respectively over 2023.

In 2024, Euronext reported a net cash flow from operating activities of €708.6 million, compared to €826.1 million in 2023. The difference results from higher profit before tax, higher income tax, lower results from equity investments and negative changes in working capital. Excluding the impact on working capital from Euronext Clearing and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 72.3% of EBITDA in 2024.

  • Q4 2024 revenue and income

In Q4 2024, Euronext’s revenue and income amounted to €415.8 million, up +11.1% compared to Q4 2023, driven by record performance in fixed income trading, robust results in non-volume related businesses and the positive contribution of the Euronext Clearing European expansion at the end of November 2023.

On a like-for-like basis and at constant currencies, Euronext revenue and income were up +9.9% in Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023, to €411.1 million.

Non-volume related revenue accounted for 59% of Group revenue in Q4 2024, compared to 60% in Q4 2023, reflecting continued strong performance of trading and post-trade in Q4 2024. The underlying operating expenses excluding D&A coverage by non-volume related revenue ratio was at 151% in Q4 2024, compared to 141% in Q4 2023.

  • Q4 2024 adjusted EBITDA

Underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased by +3.4% to €163.2 million, reflecting investments in growth and the impact of acquisitions. On a like-for-like basis, underlying operational expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation increased by +1.1% compared to Q4 2023, reflecting mainly the impact of acquisitions on a reported basis.

Consequently, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totalled €252.6 million, up +16.7% compared to Q4 2023. This represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of 60.7%, up +2.9 points compared to Q4 2023. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2024 was up +16.4%, to €251.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 61.2%, up +3.4 points compared to the same perimeter in Q4 2023.

  • Q4 2024 net income, share of the parent company shareholders

Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €49.6 million in Q4 2024, +8.7% more than in Q4 2023 due to the impact of migration projects and acquisitions. PPA related to acquired businesses accounted for €20.7 million and is included in depreciation and amortisation.

Adjusted operating profit was €231.1 million, up +17.7% compared to Q4 2023. On a like-for-like basis, adjusted operating profit was up +17.3% compared to Q4 2023, at €230.1 million.

€39.3 million of non-underlying expenses, including depreciation and amortisation, were reported in Q4 2024, related to the final steps of the Borsa Italiana Group integration and the PPA of acquired businesses.

Net financing income for Q4 2024 was €6.5 million, compared to €4.7 million in Q4 2023. This increase results from higher interest income due to higher interest rates and strong cash generation, offsetting the cost of debt.

Results from equity investments amounted to €10.1 million in Q4 2024, representing the dividend received from Sicovam. As a reminder, in Q4 2023, Euronext reported €17.0 million of results from equity investments due to the capital gain related to the disposal of the stake in Tokeny and the dividend received from Sicovam.

Income tax for Q4 2024 was €55.5 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 26.6% for the quarter. (Q4 2023: €40.0 million and 22.6% respectively, reflecting the positive impact of the tax-exempted one-off capital gain from the disposal of the Tokeny stake).

Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to the Borsa Italiana Group and Nord Pool amounted to €8.2 million in Q4 2024.

As a result, the reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, increased by +10.8% for Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023, to €144.6 million. This represents a reported EPS of €1.40 basic and €1.39 diluted in Q4 2024, compared to €1.25 basic and €1.24 diluted in Q4 2023. Adjusted net income, share of the parent company shareholders was up +16.3% to €172.3 million. Adjusted EPS (basic) was up +16.9% in Q4 2024, at €1.66 per share, compared to an adjusted EPS (basic) of €1.42 per share in Q4 2023. This increase reflects higher profit and a lower number of outstanding shares over the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.

The weighted number of shares used over 2024 was 103,578,980 for the basic calculation and 103,983,870 for the diluted calculation, compared to 106,051,799 and 106,376,338 respectively over 2023.

In Q4 2024, Euronext reported a net cash flow from operating activities of €175.0 million, compared to €194.5 million in Q4 2023, reflecting negative changes in working capital from short-term movement in outstanding power sales customers’ and suppliers’ invoices related to Nord Pool CCP activities and higher income tax. Excluding the impact on working capital from Euronext Clearing and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 64.3% of EBITDA in Q4 2024.
