1.     Inter-division charges have been made by Global Broking and Energy & Commodities to reflect the value of proprietary data provided to the Parameta Solutions division. The Global Broking inter-division revenues and Parameta Solutions inter-division costs are eliminated upon the consolidation of the Group's financial results.

2.     In Q1 2021, £6m of revenue was included within Agency Execution relating to the post-acquisition period of Liquidnet (the acquisition completed on 23 March 2021);  This Liquidnet revenue has been restated to £8m by including an additional £1m of revenue previously reported in Global Broking, and £1m previously reported in COEX Partners (in Agency Execution), reflecting the transfer of desks, which, due to their complementary nature and strategic fit, have been reclassified to be managed and reported as part of Liquidnet.

Revenue by division (constant currency basis):

·      Global Broking revenue up 3%, benefitting from increased market volatility. Revenue grew in Rates, Credit, FX & Money Markets and Emerging Markets, but was flat in Equities, resulting in an improved mix.

o  Rates activity increased most notably in short-dated contracts, which have lower transaction values compared with longer-dated contracts;

o  Revenue per broker (productivity) improved by 8%.

·      Energy & Commodities revenue up 5% driven by growth in Oil and Power & Gas in the US, while in Europe, Power & Gas declined, as high prices and significant volatility led to lower volumes.

·      Agency Execution revenue of £89m increased by 154%. Liquidnet revenue of £62m was in line with market activity. Market share increased marginally in the US and was stable in Europe, where we remain a market leader.

·     Parameta Solutions: Continued double-digit revenue growth in Data & Analytics (+11%).

Strategic progress

·      Mark Govoni, former President of US Brokerage at Instinet, joined the Group on 2 May 2022 as the new CEO of Agency Execution, with a primary focus on driving the Liquidnet growth strategy;

·      Parameta Solutions became an FCA authorised benchmark administrator in May: the first inter-dealer broker that will administer over the counter ('OTC') benchmarks;

·      Digital Assets Spot Platform: Hudson River Trading added to the list of market makers; custodian network expanded to include BitGo and Komainu.

2022 AGM:

·      The Group will host its Annual General Meeting today, Wednesday 11 May 2022, at 2.15pm (BST) at the offices of Allen & Overy LLP, One Bishop's Square, London, E1 6AD.
