“We ended a milestone year with another exceptional quarter of progress,” said Thomas P. Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MIAX. “Beyond our strong financial results and record volumes, 2025 was marked by a number of transformative strategic achievements including our successful IPO and secondary offering, the announcement of our strategic sale of 90% of MIAXdx, the launch of the MIAX Sapphire options trading floor in Miami, the launch of the MIAX Futures Onyx trading platform, and the completion of our acquisition of TISE.”

- Net revenue, defined as revenues less cost of revenues, grew 52% to $124.5 million, compared to $81.7 million in the prior-year period.

- Total operating expenses were $81.8 million, compared to $74.5 million in the prior-year period.

Options
- Net revenue grew 46% to $106.9 million, compared to $73.1 million in the prior-year period. The growth was primarily driven by higher net transaction fees that benefitted from increased industry volume, higher market share, and higher revenue per contract (RPC). Higher non-transaction fees were primarily driven by the full-year impact of the launch of the MIAX Sapphire electronic options exchange.
- Operating income increased 80% to $73.0 million, compared to $40.6 million in the prior-year period. The growth was primarily due to higher net revenues.
- Adjusted EBITDA grew 66% to $82.5 million, compared to $49.7 million in the prior-year period.
Equities
- Net revenue grew 245% to $6.4 million, compared to $1.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher net transaction fees from improved pricing. Equities capture was net neutral for the quarter as compared to historically inverted.
- Approached operating breakeven in the fourth quarter, compared to an operating loss of $6.3 million in the prior-year period.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million, compared to ($3.8) million in the prior-year period.
Futures
- Net revenue was $4.8 million, compared to $5.6 million in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily due to lower listings fees, and decreased transaction fees due to lower volumes caused by timing of participant migrations to MIAX Futures Onyx and lower commodity market volatility, partially offset by the elimination of expenses related to CME Globex.
- Operating loss was $14.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $11.0 million in the prior-year period. The change was primarily due to lower revenue and higher operating expenses driven by increased compensation costs.
- Adjusted EBITDA of ($10.0) million, compared to ($6.9) million in the prior-year period.
International
- Net revenue was $6.0 million, compared to $0.9 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of The International Stock Exchange Group Limited (TISE) in June 2025.
- Operating income was $0.9 million, compared to an operating loss of $2.8 million in the prior-year period. The change was primarily due to the impact of the TISE acquisition.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million, compared to ($2.0) million in the prior-year period.
Capital and Liquidity
• As of December 31, 2025, MIAX had cash and cash equivalents of $433.6 million and total debt of $1.5 million.
FY 2026 Guidance
For full year 2026, we expect:
- Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and litigation expenses, in a range between $265 million and $275 million;
- Share based compensation expense in a range between $27 million and $30 million;
- Capital expenditures, including capitalization of internally developed software, in a range between $40 million and $45 million;
- Depreciation and amortization expense in a range between $33 million and $38 million;
- Adjusted effective tax rate post valuation allowance release in a range between 27% and 29%. Subject to continued improvements in U.S. operating results, the Company anticipates that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence should become available to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the deferred tax valuation allowance (VA) would no longer be required. The Adjusted ETR is based on non-GAAP adjusted earnings and excludes the discrete tax benefit of the anticipated VA release.
