BGC Group reported record third-quarter results,
marked by significant revenue growth across all asset classes and geographic
regions.

BGC Group’s revenue for the third quarter hit $561
million, reflecting a 16% year-over-year increase driven by growth across asset
classes and geographic regions. The company experienced a pre-tax adjusted earnings increase of over 24%, boosted by growth in traditional and emerging markets.

Strong Results Across All Segments

BGC’s strong performance was bolstered by its Fenics
division, which reported revenues of $142.1 million, a 13.3% jump from the same
period last year. Fenics Growth Platforms, including FMX and PortfolioMatch,
saw substantial gains, highlighting BGC’s push into the electronic trading
space.

BGC’s recent acquisition of Sage Energy Partners and
its agreement to purchase OTC Global Holdings underscore its strategic shift
towards energy and commodity markets. The company expects both acquisitions to contribute
more than $450 million annually in revenue.

The company plans to integrate these assets into its
portfolio by the end of Q1 2025, aligning with its vision of expanding in
high-growth sectors. BGC has acquired Sage Energy Partners and plans to
close its acquisition of OTC Global Holdings by early next year. These deals
are expected to add over $450 million to annual revenue, boosting BGC’s
presence in energy and commodities markets.

This quarter also saw impressive performance in BGC’s
Fenics business, particularly FMX, its new futures exchange, which aims to
reshape U.S. Treasury and FX trading.

BGC’s FMX platform achieved record daily volumes in
both the US Treasury and FX markets. The average daily volume (ADV) for FMX US Treasury
trading reached $53 billion, a 40% increase compared to last year, while its FX
trading ADV climbed over 38% to surpass $9 billion.

Regional Revenue Growth

Breaking down its regional performance, BGC reported
growth across all major markets, with the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions
posting revenue increases of 19.0%, 16.5%, and 8.3%, respectively. This
broad-based growth was reflected in several key revenue areas, including Rates,
ECS, and Foreign Exchange, all of which reportedly posted double-digit gains.

The Rates division led the way with a 19.6% increase,
supported by higher trading volumes across asset classes, while ECS revenues
rose by 21.3%, driven by the company’s expanding energy business and
environmental solutions.

In the FX segment, revenues climbed by 15.4%,
primarily fueled by emerging markets and high demand for G10 options. Equities experienced
modest gains at 1.3%, as growth in US and European derivatives counterbalanced
softer demand in Asian markets.

Meanwhile, BGC’s subscription-based data and network
business, including its Lucera division, grew by 34%, reflecting a robust
demand for trading infrastructure services.

BGC’s total adjusted EBITDA grew by 11.4% for the
quarter, underscoring its strong financial position and ability to reinvest in
strategic growth areas. The company’s quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share
will be paid to shareholders on December 4, 2024.
