Quarterly Operating Revenues of $913.7 million, up 18%
Record Net Operating Revenues of $468.5 million, up 7%
Quarterly Net Income of $61.9 million, ROE of 15.7%
Quarterly Diluted EPS of $1.88 per share, down 13%


New York, NY – August 6, 2024 – StoneX Group Inc. (the “Company”; NASDAQ: SNEX), a global financial services network that connects companies, organizations, traders and investors to the global market ecosystem through a unique blend of digital platforms, end-to-end clearing and execution services, high touch service and deep expertise, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2024 third quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Sean M. O’Connor, the Company’s CEO, stated, “We achieved record net operating revenues this quarter as we experienced continued strong client engagement with increased volumes across nearly all of our operating segments and products despite low volatility and difficult trading conditions. For the fiscal third quarter, net income was $61.9 million, an 11% decline versus a strong prior year quarter with diluted EPS of $1.88, representing a 15.7% return on equity for the quarter and 16.0% for the trailing twelve months, exceeding our 15% targeted ROE. We believe our expanding global footprint and diversified product offering positions us to deliver superior service to our clients and returns to our shareholders and are well poised to benefit from increased volatility and better trading conditions.”

Total interest expense$321.1 $230.9 39 %$845.7 $593.2 43 %
The increase in interest expense attributable to corporate funding was principally due to incremental interest from the March 1, 2024 issuance of our 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the “Notes due 2031”), partially offset by lower average borrowings on our revolving credit facility. While funds from the issuance of the Notes due 2031 were used to redeem the 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Notes due 2025”), the redemption did not occur until June 17, 2024, in order to redeem those notes at par. Upon completion of the redemption of the Notes due 2025, we recognized a $3.7 million loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs, which we have classified as a component of ‘Interest expense on corporate funding’.

Impact of the Gain on Acquisition and Related Amortization
The Company acquired CDI-Societe Cotonniere De Distribution S.A (“CDI”) effective October 31, 2022. The results of the nine months ended June 30, 2023 include a non-taxable gain of $23.5 million related to the acquisition. The results of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets from this acquisition.
The Company acquired Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. effective August 1, 2020. The results of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets from this acquisition.
When evaluating acquisitions, management considers the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions.
The following table presents income before tax, income tax expense, and net income as reported in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The table also presents adjusted income before tax, adjusted income tax expense, and adjusted net income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The “adjusted” non-GAAP financial measures reflect each item after removing the impact of the gain on acquisition and the related amortization expense of the intangible assets for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.

Segment Information
Segment income is calculated as net contribution less non-variable direct segment costs. These non-variable direct expenses include trader base compensation and benefits, operational charges, trading systems and market information, professional fees, travel and business development, communications, bad debts, trade errors and direct marketing expenses.
Segment income is used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as the primary measure of segment profit or loss in the evaluation for each of our operating segments. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we revised our method of allocating certain overhead costs to our operating segments, and, beginning in the three months ended December 31, 2023, the CODM also uses ‘Segment income, less allocation of overhead costs’ as an additional segment measure of our segments’ financial performance. The allocation of overhead costs to operating segments includes the costs associated with compliance, technology, and credit and risk costs. The share of allocated costs is based on resources consumed by the relevant businesses. In addition, the allocation of human resources and occupancy costs is principally based on employee costs within the relevant businesses. The measure of segment profit or loss most consistent with the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements is segment income.
In the accompanying segment tables, ‘Allocation of overhead costs’ has been added beneath ‘Segment income’, which reconciles the segment income measure to the segment income, less allocation of overhead costs measure for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024.


Segment Results
Our business activities are managed through four operating segments, including Commercial, Institutional, Retail and Payments.
The tables below present the financial performance, a disaggregation of operating revenues, and select operating data and metrics used by management in evaluating the performance of our segments, for the periods indicated. Additional information on the performance of our segments will be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC.

Appendix A
The Company acquired CDI effective October 31, 2022, which resulted in the nine months ended June 30, 2023 including a non-taxable gain of $23.5 million. The results of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets, related to the acquisition. The Company acquired Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. effective August 1, 2020. The results of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets, related to the acquisition.
The “adjusted” non-GAAP amounts reflect each item after removing the impact of the gain on acquisition and related amortization expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.
