CBOE Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBOE) today reported net income allocated to common stockholders of $42.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015, compared with $48.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014. On an adjusted basis, net income allocated to common stockholders was $42.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared with $50 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Operating revenue for the quarter was $142.8 million, down 10 percent compared with $157.9 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Financial results presented on an adjusted basis for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 exclude certain items, including accelerated stock-based compensation and impairment charges, which are detailed in the reconciliation of non-GAAP results.

"Despite challenging market conditions, we continue to lay the foundation for future growth at CBOE. Already this year, we made significant progress in our ongoing index option growth story when options on the Russell 2000 Index began trading exclusively at CBOE and C2 on April 1st, followed by the launch of options on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the MSCI EAFE Index on April 21st. We also expanded our global customer reach with extended trading hours for SPX and VIX options," said Edward T. Tilly, CBOE Holdings' Chief Executive Officer. "We are confident that our growing suite of premium index products, supported by ongoing educational and customer outreach efforts, will enable CBOE to continue to provide value to our shareholders as well as to customers in 2015 and beyond."

"Our first-quarter results reflect the impact of lower trading volume experienced at CBOE Holdings and industrywide, as well as a difficult comparison to last year's record first-quarter results," said Alan J. Dean, CBOE Holdings' Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "In response to current trading volumes, we are adjusting our 2015 expense plans while maintaining a sharp focus on advancing our long-term growth initiatives through ongoing investments in product and systems development. We have successfully adjusted to low volume periods in the past by making short-term cost reductions, while continuing to invest in our business to drive future growth. This approach historically has always enabled CBOE to emerge even stronger once trading conditions improve."

Revenues

Operating revenue was $142.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, down $15.1 million, or 10 percent, from $157.9 million in the first quarter of 2014. The lower revenue primarily reflects a decrease of $14.1 million in transaction fees.

Transaction fees decreased 12 percent in the quarter, driven by a 15 percent decrease in trading volume, offset somewhat by a 3 percent increase in the average revenue per contract (RPC) compared with the first quarter of 2014. Total trading volume in the first quarter was 290.7 million contracts, or 4.77 million contracts per day, compared with volume of 342.8 million contracts, or 5.62 million contracts per day, in last year's first quarter. RPC was $0.340 compared with $0.329 in the first quarter of 2014.

The increase in RPC primarily reflects the net impact of a higher RPC generated on index options and futures contracts, with increases of 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively, offset somewhat by a shift in the mix of volume towards lower-margin, multiply-listed products. The RPC gains for index options and futures contracts primarily resulted from fee adjustments and lower volume discounts and incentives. With respect to the shift in the volume mix, multiply-listed options accounted for a higher percent of trading volume at 66.7 percent in the first quarter of 2015, compared with 65.3 percent in the first quarter of 2014.

The average revenue per contract represents total transaction fee revenue divided by total reported trading volume for Chicago Board Options Exchange®(CBOE®), C2 Options ExchangeSM (C2SM) and CBOE Futures ExchangeSM (CFE®).

Adjusted Operating Expenses

Adjusted operating expenses were $73.3 million for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014. Adjusted operating expenses for the quarter reflect the net impact of lower costs for compensation and benefits and royalty fees, offset by higher costs for professional fees and outside services and depreciation and amortization. There were no adjustments to operating expenses in the first quarter of 2015. For the first quarter of 2014, adjusted operating expenses exclude accelerated stock-based compensation of $2.5 million.

The company's core operating expenses, which include total operating expenses less volume-based expenses, depreciation and amortization, accelerated stock-based compensation expense and unusual or one-time expenses, were $47.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, up $0.2 million, or 1 percent, compared with last year's first quarter. The increase in core operating expenses primarily reflects increases of $4.6 million in professional fees and outside services, $0.6 million in technology support services and $0.5 million in travel and promotional expenses, offset by a decrease of $5.4 million in compensation and benefits. The decline in compensation and benefits largely reflects lower expenses related to salaries, stock-based compensation and incentive compensation. The increase in professional fees and outside services, as well as the decrease in salaries, is primarily attributed to the company's outsourcing of certain regulatory services to FINRA, which occurred in December of 2014.

Volume-based expenses, which include royalty fees and order-routing fees, were $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 12 percent, compared with the same period last year. This decrease includes lower royalty fees of $1.7 million and lower order-routing fees of $0.3 million. The decline in royalty fees was primarily due to lower trading volume in licensed products.

Adjusted Operating Margin

The company's adjusted operating margin was 48.7 percent for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of 490 basis points compared to an all-time high of 53.6 percent reported for the first quarter of 2014. The margin decline reflects flat expenses over a lower revenue base.

Effective Tax Rate

The company reported an effective tax rate of 39.0 percent for the current quarter compared with 39.9 percent in last year's first quarter. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 included the recognition of a discrete tax charge, which accounted for the higher effective tax rate in 2014 versus the first quarter of 2015.

Operational Highlights and Recent Developments

  • On April 21, CBOE began trading options on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MXEF) and the MSCI EAFE Index (MXEA).
  • On April 1, options on the Russell 2000 Index (RUT) began trading exclusively at CBOE and C2.
  • On March 2 and March 9, the company expanded trading hours for CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX® Index) options and S&P 500 Index (SPX) options, respectively, adding more than six hours of additional trading each day. The expanded trading hours for VIX and SPX options at CBOE run Monday through Friday, beginning each day at 2:00 a.m. CT and ending at 8:15 a.m. CT.
  • On February 26, the company announced that it entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), to develop and list options in the United States based on more than two dozen FTSE and Russell indices. In addition, as part of the agreement, CBOE and LSEG will collaborate on new index options products and investor education globally.

2015 Fiscal Year Financial Guidance

The company lowered its guidance for core expenses for the 2015 fiscal year to a range of $190.0 million to $194.0 million from the previous guidance range of $195.0 million to $199.0 million, reflecting expense reductions the company plans to make in light of current trading volumes.

The company reaffirmed its financial guidance for the 2015 fiscal year for the following:

  • Continuing stock-based compensation expense included in core expenses is expected to be approximately $12.0 million for the full year.
  • Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $37.0 million to $40.0 million.
  • Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to be in the range of $46.0 million to $48.0 million.
  • Effective tax rate for the full-year 2015 is expected to be in the range of 38.5 percent to 39.5 percent. Significant changes in trading volume, expenses, state and local tax rates and other items, including ongoing state and federal tax audits, could materially impact this expectation.

Return of Capital to Stockholders

As announced on April 29, 2015, CBOE Holdings' Board of Directors declared a second-quarter dividend of $0.21 per share, payable June 19, 2015, to stockholders of record as of May 29, 2015.

During the first quarter of 2015, the company repurchased 510,951 shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $61.48 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $31.4 million.

Since the inception of its share repurchase program in 2011 through March 31, 2015, the company has repurchased 8,366,021 shares of its common stock at an average price of $40.85 per share, for a total of $341.8 million.

As of March 31, 2015, the company had approximately $58.2 million of availability remaining under its existing share repurchase authorizations.
