StoneX Group Inc. Reports Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Financial Results

Quarterly Operating Revenues of $818.2 million, up 16%
Quarterly Net Income of $53.1 million, ROE of 14.0%
Quarterly Diluted EPS of $1.63 per share, up 25%


New York, NY – May 8, 2024 – StoneX Group Inc. (the “Company”; NASDAQ: SNEX), a global financial services network that connects companies, organizations, traders and investors to the global market ecosystem through a unique blend of digital platforms, end-to-end clearing and execution services, high touch service and deep expertise, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2024 second quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Sean M. O’Connor, the Company’s CEO, stated, “We are reporting solid results for our second fiscal quarter due in large part to the diversification of both our product offering and client base, with net income of $53.1 million, up 27% versus the prior year quarter, and diluted EPS of $1.63, representing a 14.0% return on equity for the quarter and 17.4% for the trailing twelve months. These results included $9.1 million in unrealized losses, or approximately $0.20 per share, on derivative positions held against precious metals inventories carried at cost, which are short term in nature and will be reversed in subsequent quarters when these inventories are sold. We are well-positioned to continue to deliver superior returns to our shareholders in the future.”


StoneX Group Inc. Summary Financials
Consolidated financial statements for the Company will be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Upon filing, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will also be made available on the Company’s website at www.stonex.com.

Impact of the Gain on Acquisition and Related Amortization
The Company acquired CDI-Societe Cotonniere De Distribution S.A (“CDI”), based in Switzerland, effective October 31, 2022. The results of the six months ended March 31, 2023 include a non-taxable gain of $23.5 million related to the acquisition. The results of the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets from this acquisition.
The Company acquired Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. effective August 1, 2020. The results of the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets from this acquisition.
When evaluating acquisitions, management considers the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions.
The following table presents income before tax, income tax expense, and net income as reported in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The table also presents adjusted income before tax, adjusted income tax expense, and adjusted net income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The “adjusted” non-GAAP financial measures reflect each item after removing the impact of the gain on acquisition and the related amortization expense of the intangible assets for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.

Segment Information
Segment income is calculated as net contribution less non-variable direct segment costs. These non-variable direct expenses include trader base compensation and benefits, operational charges, trading systems and market information, professional fees, travel and business development, communications, bad debts, trade errors and direct marketing expenses.
Segment income is used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as the primary measure of segment profit or loss in the evaluation for each of our operating segments. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we revised our method of allocating certain overhead costs to our operating segments, and, beginning in the three months ended December 31, 2023, the CODM also uses ‘Segment income, less allocation of overhead costs’ as an additional segment measure of our segments’ financial performance. The allocation of overhead costs to operating segments includes the costs associated with compliance, technology, and credit and risk costs. The share of allocated costs is based on resources consumed by the relevant businesses. In addition, the allocation of human resources and occupancy costs is principally based on employee costs within the relevant businesses. The measure of segment profit or loss most consistent with the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements is segment income.
In the accompanying segment tables, ‘Allocation of overhead costs’ has been added beneath ‘Segment income’, which reconciles the segment income measure to the segment income, less allocation of overhead costs measure for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024.


Segment Results
Our business activities are managed through four operating segments, including Commercial, Institutional, Retail and Payments.
The tables below present the financial performance, a disaggregation of operating revenues, and select operating data and metrics used by management in evaluating the performance of our segments, for the periods indicated. Additional information on the performance of our segments will be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC.

Appendix A
The Company acquired CDI effective October 31, 2022, which resulted in the six months ended March 31, 2023 including a non-taxable gain of $23.5 million. The results of the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets, related to the acquisition. The Company acquired Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. effective August 1, 2020. The results of the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets, related to the acquisition.
The “adjusted” non-GAAP amounts reflect each item after removing the impact of the gain on acquisition and related amortization expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.
