— — —
GAAP DILUTED EPS OF $0.51, ADJUSTED1 EPS OF $0.51
GAAP NET REVENUES OF $1,480 MILLION, ADJUSTED NET REVENUES OF $1,480 MILLION
GREENWICH, CT, July 17, 2025 — Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global electronic broker, announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Reported and adjusted diluted earnings per share were both $0.51 for the current quarter. For the year-ago quarter, reported diluted earnings per share2 were $0.41 and $0.44 as adjusted.
Reported and adjusted net revenues were both $1,480 million for the current quarter. For the year-ago quarter, reported net revenues were $1,230 million and $1,290 million as adjusted.
Reported and adjusted income before income taxes were both $1,104 million for the current quarter. For the year-ago quarter, reported income before income taxes was $880 million and $940 million as adjusted.
Financial Highlights
(All comparisons are to the year-ago quarter.)
•
T1Commission revenue increased 27% to 516 million on higher customer trading volumes. Customer trading volume in stocks, options and futures increased 31%, 24% and 18%, respectively.
•
T2Net interest income increased 9% to $860 million on higher average customer credit balances and securities lending activity. T3Net interest income includes an approximately $26 million one-time credit related to recovery of taxes withheld at source.
•
Other fees and services decreased 9% to $62 million, led by a decrease of $7 million in risk exposure fees, which was partially offset by a $2 million increase in FDIC sweep fees.
•
Execution, clearing and distribution fees increased 1% to $116 million, driven by a new FINRA Consolidated Audit Trail (“CAT”) fee initiated during the fourth quarter of 2024 and higher customer trading volumes in stocks, options and futures, mostly offset by greater capture of liquidity rebates from certain exchanges.
•
T4General and administrative expenses increased 17% to $61 million, driven primarily by an increase of $8 million in advertising expenses.
•
T5Pretax profit margin for the current quarter was 75% both as reported and as adjusted. For the year-ago quarter, pretax margin was 72% as reported and 73% as adjusted.
•
Total equity of $18.5 billion.
T6The Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share. This dividend is payable on September 12, 2025, to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2025.

T10In connection with our currency diversification strategy, we base our net worth in GLOBALs, a basket of 10 major currencies in which we hold our equity. In this quarter, our currency diversification strategy increased our comprehensive earnings by $301 million, as the U.S. dollar value of the GLOBAL increased by approximately 1.62%.

2
Net interest income on “Segregated cash and securities, net” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, excludes approximately $26 million of interest income, recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, related to taxes withheld at source in prior periods, which during the current quarter were determined to be fully refundable.
3
Interest income and interest expense on customer margin loans and customer credit balances, respectively, are calculated on daily cash balances within each customer’s account on a net basis, which may result in an offset of balances across multiple account segments (e.g., between securities and commodities segments).
4
Includes income from financial instruments that has the same characteristics as interest, but is reported in other fees and services and other income in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $9 million, $17 million, $7 million, and $13 million were reported in other fees and services, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $18 million, $34 million, $6 million, and $15 million were reported in other income, respectively.

Note: The term “GAAP” in the following explanation refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
1 Adjusted net revenues, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income available for common stockholders and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are non-GAAP financial measures.
•
We define adjusted net revenues as net revenues adjusted to remove the effect of our currency diversification strategy and our net mark-to-market gains (losses) on investments2.
•
We define adjusted income before income taxes as income before income taxes adjusted to remove the effect of our currency diversification strategy and our net mark-to-market gains (losses) on investments.
•
We define adjusted net income available to common stockholders as net income available for common stockholders adjusted to remove the after-tax effects attributable to IBG, Inc. of our currency diversification strategy and our net mark-to-market gains (losses) on investments.
•
We define adjusted diluted EPS as adjusted net income available for common stockholders divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.
Management believes these non-GAAP items are important measures of our financial performance because they exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and may be useful to investors and analysts in evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating a meaningful comparison of our results in the current period to those in prior and future periods. Our currency diversification strategy and our mark-to-market on investments are excluded because management does not believe they are indicative of our underlying core business performance. Adjusted net revenues, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, GAAP net revenues, income before income taxes, net income attributable to common stockholders and diluted EPS.
2 Mark-to-market on investments represents the net mark-to-market gains (losses) on investments in equity securities that do not qualify for equity method accounting, which are measured at fair value; on our U.S. government and municipal securities portfolios, which are typically held to maturity; and on certain other investments.
3 The income tax effect is estimated using the statutory income tax rates applicable to the Company.
4 Prior period share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the four-for-one forward stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend, on June 17, 2025.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
