Trading update for the three months ended 31 March 2024

 

 

Group revenue performance (in constant currency, unless in brackets, which
denotes reported currency)

 

Total Group revenue in Q1 2024 of £570m was 3% down (-6%), after a strong
performance in Q1 2023. Performance in April 2024 was very strong. As a
result, total revenue for the first 4 months was up 3% (0%). The Board remains
comfortable with current market expectations for FY 2024, subject to
movements, as previously noted, in foreign exchange rates.

 

Q1 2024 divisional revenue performance

 

In Global Broking, following near record revenue in March 2023, due to the
collapse of various US banks, Q1 2024 revenue declined by 7% (-10%). There was
a significant rebound in April 2024 when the business recorded strong
double-digit growth. Energy & Commodities ('E&C') revenue in Q1 2024
was up 8% (+5%) with the division again benefitting from buoyant market
conditions. E&C revenue has increased by 20% (+17%) over the 12 months to
March 2024, underlining its position as the world's leading energy broker.

 

Parameta Solutions, the leading provider of OTC data, grew its revenue by 12%
(+4%), driven by ongoing demand, new clients, and a focus on direct
distribution. At Liquidnet, the Cash Equities business, the largest part of
the division, grew by 7% (+2%), building on the momentum established in the
latter part of 2023. Following record revenues (+38% in constant currency) in
March 2023, generated by the same market conditions as Global Broking, there
was a decline in revenue recorded by Agency Execution. As a result, total
Liquidnet revenue was down 4% (-8%).

 

Strategic update

 

·      Parameta Solutions:

o   As previously announced, Silvina Aldeco-Martinez was appointed CEO of
Parameta Solutions on 27 March, and Eric Sinclair assumed the role of Chair;

o   Silvina joined the Group from PitchBook Data, a division of
Morningstar, where she was a member of the executive team and CEO of Leveraged
Commentary and Data. Prior to that, in her 25 years at S&P Global, Silvina
held several senior roles;

o   Eric was appointed CEO of Parameta Solutions in 2017. His deep market
expertise, strong relationships and track record of growing the business
complement Silvina's significant experience in the data & analytics
sector, as the division continues to leverage its position as the leading OTC
data provider;

o   We continue to explore options to unlock the value of Parameta
Solutions for shareholders, including a potential IPO of a minority stake in
the business.

·      E&C - Energy Transition:

o  Tullett Prebon battery metals desk was launched in London and Singapore
last month. The desk provides clients with the opportunity to trade across
these fast-growing asset classes, which are expected to play a crucial role in
the Energy Transition;

o    Building on its position as the leading Antipodean energy broker,
E&C acquired Aotearoa Energy, a New Zealand-based Gas, Power, and Carbon
broker, complementing ICAP's market-leading Australian Power & Gas
brokerage business and giving clients access to the sought-after New Zealand
Emissions market.
