The primary engine behind the results was a surge in trading activity across the platform, as average daily volume jumped 33.7% to $2.55 trillion, with the Rates segment alone contributing $265.43 million in revenue on the strength of record volumes in U.S. Government bonds, mortgages, and swaps. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 54.6% from 53.7% a year earlier, and trailing twelve-month free cash flow reached $833.62 million, up 28.1%. Management kept its full-year 2025 guidance intact, targeting adjusted expenses of $970 million to $1.03 billion and approximately $90 million in LSEG market data contract revenue, signaling confidence that the broad-based momentum driving the quarter's record performance can be sustained through the remainder of the year.
