London Stock Exchange Group plc: Q3 2021 Trading Statement
This release contains revenues and key performance indicators
(KPIs) for the three months ended 30 September 2021 (Q3). All
figures quoted in this release are on an underlying basis. Figures
are stated on both a statutory and pro-forma basis for Q3 2021 and
Q3 2020. Pro-forma figures assume that the acquisition of Refinitiv
took place on 1 January 2021 and the prior year comparator assumes
that the acquisition of Refinitiv occurred on 1 January 2020. All
pro-forma and statutory figures exclude the financial contribution
from Borsa Italiana which was divested in H1 2021. Constant
currency variance is calculated on the basis of consistent FX rates
applied across the current and prior year period, the conversions
have been made from the transactional values, which will eliminate
any transactional and translational movements along with any
related accounting adjustments. For more information, please refer
to the "Accounting and modelling notes" section below. Organic
variances have been removed from our disclosure due to the large
variances associated with the acquisition of Refinitiv.
Highlights
Note: Unless otherwise stated, variances refer to Q3 growth
rates on a pro-forma constant currency basis, excluding the impact
of a deferred revenue accounting adjustment(1) , to provide the
best view of underlying performance
-- Strong performance across all divisions driving 7.6% growth
in Q3 total income(1) and gross profit growth of 7.3%
-- Continued good progress on the integration of Refinitiv and
comfortably on target for full year run-rate cost synergy delivery
of GBP125 million, ahead of original phasing; 10 new products
launched in Q3 as part of revenue synergy programme, taking the
total to 37 year-to-date
-- Data & Analytics revenue grew 6.0% and continues to
perform well with growth in Annual Subscription Value increasing
from 3.9% at H1 to 4.0% in Q3, reflecting strength in
subscription-based new business wins
-- Capital Markets revenue grew 17.2% driven by double-digit
growth at Tradeweb, strong primary issuance within Equities and
good dealer-to-client volumes at FXall
-- Post Trade revenue grew 11.5% driven by increased clearing
activity from both new and existing customers; total income up
2.3%, reflecting lower investment returns in Net Treasury Income
compared to the strong comparator in Q3 2020
-- Year-to-date total income(1) grew 5.6%, reflecting the good performance across the Group
-- As previously guided, the Group expects total income(1) to
grow between 4-5% for full year 2021, with Q4 2021 income not
expected to grow as fast as Q3 on a constant currency basis due to
the strong comparator in Q4 2020; no change to previous cost or
capex guidance although supply chain pressures may impact timing of
some technology spend this year
-- The Group's second Investor Education Event on 1 October
confirmed the strong growth ambitions for Data & Analytics,
with revenues to increase by 4-6% annually over the medium term,
reflecting multiple supportive trends and our ongoing focus on
rigorous performance management and improvement of the customer
experience. FX trading is also well-positioned for continued growth
in electronic trading and the planned migration to new technology
will strengthen it further. Replays of the two Investor Education
Events are available online
(1) Excluding recoveries and a deferred revenue accounting
impact. As previously stated, the deferred revenue impact is a
one-time, non-cash, negative revenue impact resulting from the
accounting treatment of deferred revenue within Refinitiv's
accounts which have been re-evaluated upon acquisition by LSEG
under purchase price accounting rules. The result of this
accounting treatment is a GBP1m adjustment reducing revenue for Q3
2021, (GBP24m reduction for Q3 YTD). The vast majority impacts the
Data & Analytics business with a smaller impact applied to the
FX venues business within Capital Markets. There will be further
immaterial impacts in Q4 2021. Further information is available in
the "Accounting and modelling notes" section. Constant currency
variance shows underlying financial performance, excluding currency
impacts, by comparing the current and prior year periods at
consistent exchange rates.
David Schwimmer, CEO said:
"The Group has delivered a strong Q3 financial performance with
revenue growth across all divisions.
"We are making excellent progress on the integration of
Refinitiv and are comfortably on-track to achieve GBP125 million of
cost synergies in 2021, ahead of our original phasing. We continue
to execute across a number of workstreams to deliver the target
revenue synergies. The Group is well placed as we make targeted
investments in product and technology enhancements to help us meet
the needs of our customers and capitalise on the growth trends
driving change across our industry."

(1) Pro-forma underlying assumes that the acquisition of
Refinitiv took place on 1 January 2021 for the current financial
year and 1 January 2020 for the prior financial year comparator
figure. Both figures exclude the financial contribution from the
businesses contained within the Borsa Italiana divestment
(2) Reported variance is the difference between current and
prior year periods on a pro-forma underlying basis, using
year-to-date FX rates prevalent in each period, therefore any
changes in the FX rates are also reflected in the variance
percentage alongside business performance. The Q3 results are
derived by deducting the H1 results, which have been translated
using the average exchange rates for the 6 months to 30 June 2021,
from the 9 months figure
(3) Constant currency variance shows underlying financial
performance, excluding currency impacts, by comparing the current
and prior period at consistent exchange rates
(4) The deferred revenue adjustment is explained in the
"Accounting and modelling notes" section
Pro-forma(1) Q3 2021 Highlights
-- Data & Analytics : revenues up 6.0%
o Annual Subscription Value growth for the division increased
from 3.9% at H1, to 4.0% at Q3; ahead of the subscription revenue
growth in Q3 year-to-date of 3.5%. This indicates that the current
book of business covered by the ASV metric (c.87% of Data &
Analytics revenue) is growing faster than the associated
subscription revenues so far this year
o Trading & Banking Solutions revenues down 0.3% - Banking
segment delivered a good performance, reflecting product and
customer service enhancements, including Workspace; in the Trading
segment the pace of decline in Eikon Premium continues to slow
o Enterprise Data Solutions revenues up 4.1% - strong sales in
the period in Pricing & Reference Services (PRS) and Real Time
Data, with low, early-stage revenue synergies now contributing
o Investment Solutions revenues up 11.1% - double-digit growth
in Benchmark Rates, Indices & Analytics with good sales.
Asset-based ETF AUM remained above $1 trillion with strong
growth
o Wealth Solutions revenues down 0.8% - Advisor & Investor
Services revenues were flat as cancellations offset new client
wins. Operations Management (BETA) saw a small decline in revenue
despite increased volumes due to the mix of customers using the
service
o Customer & Third-Party Risk Solutions revenues up 40.6% -
strong growth continues, with double-digit growth at World-Check,
GIACT and Due Diligence
-- Capital Markets: revenues up 17.2%
o Equities revenues up 15.4% - large scale and high-profile
listings on London Stock Exchange, the world's most international
exchange. Secondary markets revenues have grown due to higher
volumes across our orderbooks
o FX revenues up 7.1% - strong volumes in dealer-to-client
(FXall) driving growth, reflecting the investment in new product
capabilities, relationship management and better customer
service
o Fixed Income, Derivatives & Other revenues up 21.1% -
Tradeweb(2) continues to grow strongly, as it expands its offering
to meet demand from increased electronification of trading
markets
-- Post Trade : revenue up 11.5%; total income up 2.3% (impacted by Net Treasury Income)
o OTC Derivatives revenues up 11.4% - strong performance across
services with increased SwapClear revenues driven by growth in the
number of active clients
o Securities & Reporting revenues up 8.8% - RepoClear
activity growth continues to drive revenue with record volumes in
September across Euro debt clearing
o Non-Cash Collateral revenues up 19.0% - partly due to
increased activity at SwapClear and RepoClear
o Net Treasury Income down 21.0% - rate of investment return
reduced compared to a strong comparator in Q3 2020, alongside flat
cash collateral balances. NTI expected to continue at current
levels for time being
(1) Pro-forma assumes that the acquisition of Refinitiv took
place on 1 January 2021 for the current financial year and 1
January 2020 for the prior financial year comparator figure. Both
figures exclude the financial contribution from the businesses
contained within the Borsa Italiana divestment
(2) Tradeweb Q3 2021 results will be released on 28 October
2021

Accounting and modelling notes
Reclassified revenues within Trading & Banking
In the 2021 Q3 results, there has been a small reclassification
of revenues within Trading & Banking, with revenue moving from
Trading into Banking to better align with our operating model. The
income by quarter table in the appendix has been adjusted to
reflect the changes.
Renamed revenue lines
The following revenue lines have been renamed to better describe
our business. Beyond the names, there have been no further changes
to the businesses or revenues within the lines.
Investment Solutions
-- Benchmark Rates, Indices & Analytics - was previously named 'Index - Subscription'
-- Index - Asset-Based - was previously named 'Index - AUM'
-- Data & Workflow - was previously named 'Investment Solutions Data & Analytics'
Wealth Solutions
-- Advisor & Investor Services - was previously named 'Wealth Data & Analytics'
-- Operations Management (BETA) - was previously named 'BETA'
Deferred revenue accounting adjustment
As a result of the acquisition of Refinitiv and the associated
purchase price accounting rules, Refinitiv's deferred revenue
balances are subject to a one-time haircut at the time of
acquisition. This is a non-cash adjustment. Q3 2021 saw a GBP1
million negative revenue impact following GBP22 million in Q1 and
GBP1 million in Q2. The remaining impact will be immaterial in Q4
2021. The impact is mostly in the Group's Data & Analytics
division, with a much smaller impact on the Group's FX venues
business sitting within Capital Markets.
An adjusted variance, excluding the deferred revenue adjustment,
has been presented to show true underlying business growth on the
prior year.
FX conversion
As a result of the acquisition of Refinitiv, the majority of
LSEG revenues and expenses are in USD followed by GBP, EUR and
other currencies. All guidance given by LSEG, including the
longer-term targets associated with the acquisition of Refinitiv as
well as specific guidance for the 2021 financial year, has been
given on a constant currency basis.
The results for the 9 months to 30 September 2021 have been
translated into Sterling using the average exchange rates for the
period. The Q3 results are then derived by deducting the H1
results, which have been translated using the average exchange
rates for the 6 months to 30 June 2021. The rates for the largest
two currency pairs are shown in the table below.

(1) Pro-forma underlying assumes that the acquisition of
Refinitiv took place on 1 January 2021 for the current financial
year and 1 January 2020 for the prior financial year comparator
figure. Both figures exclude the financial contribution from the
businesses contained within the Borsa Italiana divestment
(2) Reported variance is the difference between current and
prior year periods on a pro-forma underlying basis, using
year-to-date FX rates prevalent in each period, therefore any
changes in the FX rates are also reflected in the variance
percentage alongside business performance
(3) Constant currency variance shows underlying financial
performance, excluding currency impacts, by comparing the current
and prior period at consistent exchange rates
(4) The deferred revenue adjustment is explained in the
"Accounting and modelling notes" section

year-to-date FX rates prevalent in each period, therefore any
changes in the FX rates are also reflected in the variance

derived by deducting the H1 results, which have been translated
using the average exchange rates for the 6 months to 30 June 2021,
from the 9 months figure
