Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Net revenue grew 40% YoY to $128.6 million and adjusted EBITDA rose 66% to $66.1 million, a record quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 800 bps YoY to 51%, reflecting operating leverage.
  • Multi-listed options market share rose to 17.3% from 16.0%, with MIAX options ADV up 27% YoY to 10.9 million contracts.
  • Industry options ADV reached 63 million contracts in Q1, up 17% YoY, benefiting MIAX's options franchise.
  • Operating income more than doubled to $46.0 million from $22.3 million, and adjusted earnings rose 51% to $45.3 million.
  • Ended Q1 with more than $550 million in cash and achieved a first 1 million contract day on April 14, with the Bloomberg Equity Futures (B100) on track for May 17 launch.

Risks & pressure points

  • Total operating expenses rose to $82.6 million from $69.6 million YoY, driven by planned headcount and technology investments, payroll tax timing, and increased legal expenses.
  • New single-stock weekly expirations remain a negligible contributor to results and are not yet having a material impact.
  • Tokenization is explicitly not a current focus, potentially leaving MIAX less exposed to that emerging trend.
  • MIAXdx 10% retained stake will be carried at cost with no revenue contribution; investors are told not to build it into models.
  • MIAX equities business is not yet at sustained profitability and Bloomberg futures build-out introduces execution risk on a new platform and OCC clearing relationship.
