Higher revenues for rates and credit derivatives products, U.S. government bonds, mortgages, U.S. and international ETFs, and European and U.S. corporate bonds.
Includes $26.7M of LSEG market data fees; relatively flat due to amended market data agreement with quarterly historical data delivery vs. concentrated January delivery in prior year.

Largest Expense Items
Increase in headcount and related salaries, bonus, benefits and stock-based compensation; headcount rose from 1,435 to 1,598 employees.
Increased investment in data strategy and infrastructure and increased data fees driven by higher trading volumes.
