Euronext, the leading European capital market infrastructure, today publishes its results for the first quarter 2025 using the new, simplified reporting framework[1].
- Q1 2025 revenue and income was up +14.1% at €458.5 million:
Non-volume-related revenue and income represented 57% of total revenue and income and covered 158% of underlying operating expenses, excluding D&A[2]:
- Securities Services revenues grew to €83.4 million (+6.8%), driven by double-digit growth in custody and settlement revenue;
- Capital Markets and Data Solutions revenue grew to €157.4 million (+6.6%), driven by the continued commercial expansion of Euronext Corporate and Investor Solutions and Technology Services and the strong performance of Advanced Data Solutions, supported by the acquisition of GRSS and by retail participation;
- Net treasury income was €18.6 million (+58.8%), demonstrating the benefits of the Euronext Clearing expansion and the internalisation of net treasury income following the derivatives clearing migration in Q3 2024.
Volume-related revenue was driven by high market volatility in Q1 2025:
- FICC[3] Markets reported €90.7 million of revenue (+25.1%), driven by record performance in fixed income trading and clearing, commodities trading and clearing and FX trading;
- Equity Markets revenue grew to €108.4 million (+18.0%), reflecting high volatility.
- Underlying operating expenses excluding D&A were at €164.5 million (+9.1%). The increase compared to Q1 2024 reflects investments in growth and the impact of acquisitions performed in 2024, combined with strong costs discipline, in line with the ramp-up of growth investments set out as part of Euronext’s underlying cost guidance of €670 million for the full year 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA was €294.1 million (+17.0%) and adjusted EBITDA margin was 64.1% (+1.6pts).
- Adjusted net income was €183.5 million (+11.8%) and adjusted EPS was €1.80 (+13.9%).
- Reported net income was €164.8 million (+17.9%) and reported EPS was €1.62 (+20.0%).
- Net debt to EBITDA[4] was at 1.4x at the end of March 2025, within Euronext’s target range of the “Innovate for Growth 2027” strategic plan. On 22 April 2025, Euronext had successfully redeemed the €500 million bond issued in connection with the acquisition of Euronext Dublin in April 2018.

Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:
"In the first quarter of 2025, Euronext has delivered a remarkable performance. We achieved record revenue and income of €458.5 million, driven by initial successes of the strategic initiatives, growth of non-volume-related revenue and exceptional volatility across trading and clearing activities, especially in cash equity, fixed income, FX, power and commodities. Our diversified business model has allowed us to invest in growth and reach an adjusted EBITDA of €294.1 million, marking a significant +17.0% increase compared to Q1 2024. In Q1 2025, we reached record adjusted EPS (basic) of €1.80 per share. Our reported EPS (basic) grew by an impressive +20.0% compared to Q1 2024, to €1.62 per share.
We have launched significant initiatives of our ‘Innovate for Growth 2027’ strategic plan to reinforce Euronext as a leader in the European financial markets. The upcoming consolidation of settlement for Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris equity trades in Euronext Securities represents a significant optimisation of the European post-trade landscape. With this strategic move, we foster the integration and competitiveness of European capital markets at an unprecedented speed.
The launch late April 2025 of a European Common Prospectus[6] in English will pursue this ambition. This new initiative facilitates access to European capital markets and addresses the need for a competitive, integrated Savings and Investment Union. In addition, we are proud to launch a comprehensive set of measures to support the financing needs of companies that contribute to Europe’s strategic autonomy[7].
The acquisition in May 2025 of Admincontrol[8], leader in the governance SaaS space, accelerates the development of Euronext Corporate Solutions in the Nordics, and reinforces Euronext’s subscription-based revenue.
With this strong first quarter of 2025, we demonstrate our capacity to innovate ahead of the curve, leading the way to a stronger, more innovative and more competitive European capital market.”

Non-volume-related revenue
- Securities Services
| Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | % var | % var l-f-l | |
| Revenue (in €m) | 83.4 | 78.1 | +6.8% | +4.8% |
| Custody and Settlement | 75.8 | 67.9 | +11.6% | +9.4% |
| Other Post Trade | 7.6 | 10.2 | -25.3% | -25.3% |
Revenue from Custody and Settlement this quarter was at €75.8 million, +11.6% compared to Q1 2024. This strong performance was driven by growing Assets under Custody, dynamic settlement instructions and continued double-digit growth in services, supported by the acquisition of Acupay. At the end of the quarter, Assets under Custody amounted to €7.1 trillion, up +3.8% compared to end of Q1 2024. Over 39.3 million instructions were settled via Euronext Securities during the first quarter of 2025, up +9.3% compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Other Post Trade revenue, which includes membership fees and other non-volume-related clearing fees, was €7.6 million in Q1 2025. The -25.3% decrease compared to Q1 2024 stems from the internalisation of the net treasury income related to Euronext derivatives flows in September 2024, which are now integrated in the net treasury income line.
- Capital Markets and Data Solutions
| Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | % var | % var l-f-l | |
| Revenue (in €m) | 157.4 | 147.6 | +6.6% | +4.5% |
| Primary Markets | 46.3 | 45.5 | +1.8% | +2.1% |
| Advanced Data Solutions | 65.1 | 60.2 | +8.1% | +3.7% |
| Corporate and Investor Solutions and Technology Services | 45.9 | 41.8 | +9.8% | +8.1% |
Primary Markets revenue was €46.3 million in Q1 2025, an increase of +1.8% compared to Q1 2024. The first quarter recorded slower equity listing performance explained by a volatile environment. Euronext sustained its leading position for equity listing with 8 new listings.
Advanced Data Solutions revenue was €65.1 million in Q1 2025, up +8.1% compared to Q1 2024. This dynamic performance reflects the contribution of GRSS, strong appetite from retail and growing monetisation of diversified datasets.
Corporate and Investor Solutions and Technology Services revenue grew by +9.8% in Q1 2025 to €45.9 million. This strong performance reflects the continued commercial expansion of the governance SaaS offering, the increased use of colocation and microwave connectivity, and double-digit growth of investor solutions, supported by the acquisition of Substantive Research.
Following the completion of the acquisition of Admincontrol on 13 May 2025, Admincontrol’s revenue will be integrated with Corporate and Investor Solutions and Technology Services revenue from Q2 2025.
- Net treasury income
Net treasury income was at €18.6 million (+58.8%). This reflect the benefit from the Euronext Clearing expansion and the internalisation of treasury income from LCH SA following the completion of the derivatives clearing migration, as well as higher cash collateral posted to the CCP due to the elevated market volatility.

| Financial derivatives trading and clearing | 14.4 | 15.1 | -4.8% | -4.8% |
Cash equity trading and clearing revenue was €94.0 million in Q1 2025, up +22.5% driven by exceptional market volatility. Euronext recorded average daily cash trading volumes of €13.8 billion, up +31.8% compared to Q1 2024. Revenue capture on cash trading averaged 0.50 bps for the first quarter of 2025, impacted by higher volumes, stronger intraday volatility and larger average order size.

Financial derivatives trading and clearing revenue was €14.4 million in Q1 2025, -4.8% compared to Q1 2024. This decrease is mostly linked to the decrease of the average clearing fees, as following the clearing migration certain clearing fees are now reported in the line Other Post Trade revenues, and as such not fully comparable with Q1 2024.
