Pan-European capital market infrastructure Euronext today posted its results for the second quarter of 2025.
FX trading revenue was up 18.9%, at €9.3 million in Q2 2025, reflecting record trading volumes in April 2025, which outbalanced the negative currency impact of the USD.
Across all segments, Q2 2025 revenue and income increased 12.8% to €465.8 million.
Underlying operating expenses excluding D&A were at €168.4 million (+7.9%), in line with Euronext’s 2025 underlying costs guidance. This reflects a step-up in growth investments and the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by a strong cost discipline. Euronext’s underlying operating expense guidance excluding D&A of €670 million excludes Admincontrol, acquired on 13 May 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA was €297.3 million (+15.8%) and adjusted EBITDA margin was 63.8% (+1.6pt).
Adjusted net income was €204.4 million (+23.8%) and adjusted EPS was €2.02 (+27.0%), supported by received dividends .
Reported net income was €183.8 million (+29.7%) and reported EPS was €1.81 (+32.1%).
Net debt to adjusted EBITDA was at 1.8x at the end of June 2025, in line with Euronext’s target range. This ratio reflects the impact of the acquisition of Admincontrol on 13 May 2025 and the dividend payment in May 2025.
Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:
“In the second quarter of 2025, Euronext achieved all-time record revenue and income of €465.8 million, driven by organic growth and acquisitions. This is the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit topline growth. The strong performance reflects the strength of Euronext’s diversified business model, capable of capturing favourable market conditions and of generating non-volume-related revenue growth.
We have continued to invest in growth, while we maintained a strong cost discipline. Euronext reached an adjusted EBITDA close to €300 million in Q2 2025, marking a significant +15.8% increase compared to Q2 2024. In Q2 2025, we reached record adjusted EPS of €2.02 per share. Our reported EPS grew by +32.1% compared to Q2 2024, to €1.81 per share.
We continue to foster the integration and competitiveness of European capital markets via strategic initiatives. With a strong footprint in Italian repo, a growing list of government bond coverage, and the majority of key clearing members already connected, Euronext is well positioned to become the clearing house of choice for European repo.
Europe shows an unprecedented commitment to establish a Savings and Investments Union, and Euronext is a key player in Europe to accelerate the delivery of this ambition. Since the beginning of the year, Euronext has continued to deploy capital to expand across Europe. We have expanded our presence in the Nordics with the acquisition of Admincontrol and will further strengthen our position with the migration of Nasdaq Nordic’s power futures to Euronext Clearing in Q1 2026.
The contemplated acquisition of ATHEX would expand our integrated model across Europe to deliver the Savings and Investments Union. We are strongly committed to boosting the development and attractivity of Greek markets internationally and generating efficiencies and competitiveness across the Group.”
