Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO said, “It was an excellent year of execution for Nasdaq, as we achieved strong organic growth, accelerated innovation, and successfully delivered across our three strategic priorities: Integrate, Innovate, and Accelerate. For the first time, Nasdaq exceeded $5 billion in annual net revenue and $4 billion in annual Solutions revenue, reflecting the power, resilience and adaptability of our platform.

Looking ahead, we are well‑positioned to build on our momentum in 2026 and deliver durable growth by deepening client relationships and unlocking greater value through our unified One Nasdaq platform.”

Sarah Youngwood, Executive Vice President and CFO said, “In 2025, Nasdaq delivered outstanding financial results, underscoring the durability and differentiation of our business model. We delivered strong growth across our platform, expanded operating leverage, and generated robust cash flow.

As we move into the new year, we remain focused on serving as a strategic partner to our clients and translating that performance into long‑term value for our shareholders.”

FINANCIAL REVIEW

  • Net revenue in 2025 was $5.2 billion, reflecting 13% growth versus the prior year period. Adjusted net revenue growth was 12%. Fourth quarter 2025 net revenue was $1.4 billion, reflecting 13% growth versus the prior year period.

  • Solutions revenue in 2025 was $4.0 billion, an increase of 12% versus the prior year period, or 11% on an adjusted basis. Fourth quarter 2025 Solutions revenue was $1.1 billion, up 13% versus the prior year period, or 12% on an organic basis, reflecting strong growth from Index and Financial Technology.

  • ARR was $3.1 billion as of the fourth quarter of 2025, growing 10% year-over-year on both a reported and organic basis. Financial Technology ARR growth was 14%, or 12% on an organic basis, and Capital Access Platforms ARR growth was 8%, or 7% on an organic basis.

  • Market Services net revenue was $311 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, up 16% versus the prior year period, or 14% on an organic basis.

  • GAAP operating expenses in 2025 were $2.9 billion, an increase of 2% versus the prior year period, and fourth quarter GAAP operating expenses were $762 million, an increase of 7% versus the prior year quarter. These increases primarily reflect organic growth due to increased investments in technology and people to drive innovation and long-term growth. For the full-year 2025, merger and strategic initiative expense also increased, and was partially offset by a decrease in restructuring costs and general, administrative and other expenses. The fourth quarter expense increases were partially offset by a decrease in regulatory and merger and strategic initiatives expenses.

  • Non-GAAP operating expenses in 2025 were $2.3 billion, an increase of 8% versus the prior year period, or 7% on an adjusted basis. Fourth quarter non-GAAP operating expenses were $609 million, an increase of 10% versus the prior year quarter, or 8% on an organic basis. The fourth quarter and full year 2025 increases primarily reflect organic growth due to increased investments in technology and people to drive innovation and long-term growth. For the full year 2025, this increase was partially offset by a decrease in general, administrative and other expenses.

  • Cash flow from operations was $2.3 billion in 2025 and $625 million for the fourth quarter, enabling the return of capital through Nasdaq’s efficient capital allocation framework. In 2025, the company returned $601 million to shareholders through dividends and $616M through repurchases of common stock. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company returned $153 million to shareholders through dividends and $286 million through repurchases of common stock. As of December 31, 2025, there was $1.1 billion remaining under the board authorized share repurchase program. The company repaid $826 million of debt in 2025, including $100 million of senior unsecured notes in the fourth quarter of 2025.

  • Nasdaq surpassed its expanded efficiency program net expense target, with over $160 million in expense efficiencies actioned as of year-end 2025.

2026 EXPENSE AND TAX GUIDANCE UPDATE6

  • The company is initiating its 2026 non-GAAP operating expense guidance at a range of $2.455 billion to $2.535 billion, and its 2026 non-GAAP tax rate guidance to be in the range of 22.5% to 24.5%.

STRATEGIC AND BUSINESS UPDATES

  • Financial Technology delivered 12% quarterly organic revenue and organic ARR growth driven by sales momentum across all subdivisions. FinTech signed 129 new clients, 143 upsells, and 12 cross-sells in the fourth quarter, contributing to full-year totals of 291 new clients, 462 upsells, and 25 cross-sells. The strong cross-sell performance in the year brings the total to 42 cross-sells since the Adenza acquisition, reflecting the strength of the One Nasdaq strategy. Fourth quarter and full-year 2025 highlights included:

    • Financial Crime Management Technology continued its strong sales momentum while launching new product innovations and capabilities. Nasdaq Verafin delivered another strong quarter of new client signings, adding 119 new small-and-medium bank clients and 3 Enterprise deals. Total Enterprise signings in the year represent over four times both the number of signings and total annualized contract value (ACV) compared to the prior year. Verafin expanded its platform capabilities with two strategic partnerships signed during the year, and with the introduction of its Agentic AI Workforce, launched in the third quarter.

    • Regulatory Technology momentum continued with strong performance across Surveillance and AxiomSL driven by successful execution on cross-sells and upsells. The subdivision added 10 new clients, including 5 cross-sells, and 76 upsells in the fourth quarter, contributing to full-year totals of 35 new clients, including 12 cross-sells, and 245 upsells. AxiomSL steadily expanded its global footprint in 2025, which included deepening its partnership with Revolut after they consolidated their UK and European regulatory reporting onto the solution’s cloud-managed platform. Surveillance also drove strong client growth, with the business signing 26 new clients across securities exchanges, market participants, regulators, crypto trading venues, and crypto trading participants in 2025 to strengthen their protections across rapidly evolving markets.

    • Capital Markets Technology performance reflects strong client demand and engagement for market modernization solutions. The subdivision signed 9 new clients, including 5 cross-sells, and 67 upsells in the quarter, contributing to full-year totals of 20 new clients, including 8 cross-sells, and 214 upsells. Calypso continued to strengthen its relationship with central banks, ending the year with 24 central banks including 3 signed in the fourth quarter. In Market Technology, the business continued to execute on its blueprint for market modernization, securing a major financial market infrastructure client for a multi-product, cloud-based managed service solution in the fourth quarter.

  • Index ETP assets under management (AUM) and net inflows reached new records. Index had net inflows of $35 billion in the fourth quarter and $99 billion over the last twelve months, both records levels. End-of-period ETP AUM was $882 billion and average ETP AUM in the fourth quarter was $860 billion, also setting new quarterly highs. In 2025, Nasdaq’s Index business launched 122 new products, an all-time high, with nearly half of the launches being international products and 32 new products in the institutional insurance annuity space.

  • Nasdaq expanded the distribution of its private market data through partnerships with LSEG and Juniper Square. Through its collaboration with LSEG, Nasdaq will provide eVestment private markets datasets for delivery through the LSEG platform. The partnership with Juniper Square will make eVestment institutional intelligence available through Juniper Square’s fundraising platform, reaching more than 2,000 private market general partners.

  • Nasdaq extended its listings leadership in 2025 with its seventh consecutive year as the top U.S. exchange by proceeds raised and executed the largest exchange transfer ever. For the year, Nasdaq welcomed eligible operating company IPOs that raised over $24 billion in total proceeds. Medline, which came to market in December 2025, headlined new listings as the largest IPO of the year. The listings business also welcomed the largest IPO in Europe, Verisure. Nasdaq capped a record-setting year for its listings switch program in 2025 with $1.2 trillion of market value switching to Nasdaq, including Walmart, the largest exchange transfer on record.

  • Market Services set new net revenue records while launching proposals to advance the modernization of markets. Fourth quarter Market Services net revenue benefited from record industry volumes in U.S. cash equities and U.S. equity derivatives. Growth was also driven by index options revenue more than doubling for the second straight quarter, higher market share in European equities, and strong U.S. Tape Plan revenue. Nasdaq’s Closing Cross also set a new daily notional value record of $233 billion during the Triple-Witch event in December. This year, Nasdaq launched initiatives to drive the evolution of capital markets, including submitting a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to facilitate the trading of tokenized securities on its markets and announcing the plan to bring 23/5 trading to the Nasdaq Stock Market in the second half of 2026.

NASDAQ TO HOST 2026 INVESTOR DAY

  • Nasdaq will host its 2026 Investor Day on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. The event will feature presentations on the company’s operations and strategy, as well as a question and answer session with members of Nasdaq’s senior leadership team including Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO, and Sarah Youngwood, Executive Vice President and CFO. Registration for the event webcast can be found on Nasdaq’s investor relations website.

____________
1 Represents revenue less transaction-based expenses.
2 Adjusted and organic change for 4Q25 as compared to 4Q24 are equivalent as they include the same period over period adjustments for changes in foreign exchange rates and divestitures. 2025 as compared to 2024 also adjusts for the AxiomSL accounting change implemented in 3Q24 to recognize on-premises contracts ratably which included a $34 million non-GAAP revenue adjustment in 3Q24, and excludes the impact of the previously announced one-time revenue benefit in our Index business in 1Q24 ($16 million). As it relates to ARR, organic changes only exclude the impacts of period over period changes in foreign currency exchange rates and divestitures as the AxiomSL ratable recognition adjustment and one-time revenue benefit had no impact on ARR.
3 Solutions revenue and Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) constitutes revenue and ARR from our Capital Access Platforms and Financial Technology segments as well as revenue and ARR from our Solovis business which was sold in October 2025. Solovis revenues and ARR were previously included in our Capital Access Platforms segment, and have been reclassified into “Other” for all prior periods presented.
4 ARR for a given period is the current annualized value derived from subscription contracts with a defined contract value. This excludes contracts that are not recurring, are one-time in nature or where the contract value fluctuates based on defined metrics. ARR is currently one of our key performance metrics to assess the health and trajectory of our recurring business. ARR does not have any standardized definition and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. For AxiomSL and Calypso recurring revenue contracts, the amount included in ARR is consistent with the amount that we invoice the customer during the current period. Additionally, for AxiomSL and Calypso recurring revenue contracts that include annual values that increase over time, we include in ARR only the annualized value of components of the contract that are considered active as of the date of the ARR calculation. We do not include the future committed increases in the contract value as of the date of the ARR calculation. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers.
5 Refer to our reconciliations of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP net income attributable to Nasdaq, diluted earnings per share, operating income, operating expenses and organic impacts included in the attached schedules.
6 U.S. GAAP operating expense and tax rate guidance are not provided due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain amounts due to a variety of factors including the unpredictability in the movement in foreign currency rates, as well as future charges or reversals outside of the normal course of business.

NON-GAAP INFORMATION

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Nasdaq also discloses certain non-GAAP results of operations, including, but not limited to, non-GAAP net income attributable to Nasdaq, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP operating expenses, that include certain adjustments or exclude certain charges and gains that are described in the reconciliation tables of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP information provided at the end of this release. Management uses this non-GAAP information internally, along with U.S. GAAP information, in evaluating our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. We believe our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of results as the items described below in the reconciliation tables do not reflect ongoing operating performance.

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for our operating results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We recommend investors review the U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. When viewed in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency and a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than U.S. GAAP measures alone.

We understand that analysts and investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as those noted above, to assess operating performance. We use these measures because they highlight trends more clearly in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our ongoing operating performance.

Organic revenue and expense growth, organic change and organic impact are non-GAAP measures that reflect adjustments for: (i) the impact of period over period changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and (ii) the revenue, expenses and operating income associated with acquisitions and divestitures for the twelve month period following the date of the acquisition or divestiture and (iii) the impact of AxiomSL on-premises contracts for ratable recognition in comparable periods to align with current period presentation. Reconciliations of these measures are described within the body of this release or in the reconciliation tables at the end of this release.

Foreign exchange impact: In countries with currencies other than the U.S. dollar, revenue and expenses are translated using monthly average exchange rates. Certain discussions in this release isolate the impact of year-over-year foreign currency fluctuations to better measure the comparability of operating results between periods. Operating results excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations are calculated by translating the current period’s results by the prior period’s exchange rates.

Restructuring programs: In the fourth quarter of 2023, following the closing of the Adenza acquisition, our management approved, committed to and initiated a restructuring program to optimize our efficiencies as a combined organization. We further expanded this program in the fourth quarter of 2024 to accelerate our momentum and further optimize our efficiencies (efficiency program). We have incurred costs principally related to employee-related costs, contract terminations, asset impairments and other related costs and expect to incur additional costs in these areas in an effort to accelerate efficiencies through location strategy and enhanced AI capabilities. Actions taken as part of this program were completed as of December 31, 2025, while certain costs may be recognized in the first half of 2026. We expect to achieve benefits primarily in the form of expense synergies. In October 2022, following our September announcement to realign our segments and leadership, we initiated a divisional realignment program with a focus on realizing the full potential of this structure. As of September 30, 2024, we completed our divisional realignment program. Costs related to the Adenza restructuring and the divisional realignment programs are recorded as “restructuring charges” in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We exclude charges associated with these programs for purposes of calculating non-GAAP measures as they are not reflective of ongoing operating performance or comparisons in Nasdaq's performance between periods.

(1 ) During the third quarter of 2024, as part of finalizing the purchase accounting of the Adenza acquisition, we implemented a change to the accounting treatment of the revenues associated with AxiomSL on-premises subscription contracts, which are included in the Regulatory Technology business within the Financial Technology segment. Starting in the third quarter of 2024, we began recognizing AxiomSL’s subscription-based revenues on a ratable basis over the contract term. As a result of this change, we recognized a one-time revenue reduction of $32 million in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting the net impact of the accounting change since the date of the Adenza acquisition. The adjustment of $34 million reflects the prior year impact of this change.  
(2 ) We amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with various acquisitions. Intangible asset amortization expense can vary from period to period due to episodic acquisitions completed, rather than from our ongoing business operations.  
(3 ) We have pursued various strategic initiatives and completed acquisitions and divestitures in recent years that have resulted in expenses which would not have otherwise been incurred. These expenses generally include integration costs, as well as legal, due diligence and other third-party transaction costs. The frequency and the amount of such expenses vary significantly based on the size, timing and complexity of the transaction. For the three months and years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, these costs included Adenza integration costs and other strategic initiative costs. For the year ended December 31, 2024, these costs were partially offset by the recognition of a termination fee due to Nasdaq in the second quarter of 2024 related to the termination of the then proposed divestiture of our Nordic power futures business. For the year ended December 31, 2025, these costs included a repayment of this fee due to the sale of the Nordic power futures business to another buyer, as designated in the settlement agreement.  
(4 ) For a description of our restructuring programs, see "Restructuring Programs" in the "Non-GAAP Information" section of this earnings release.  
(5 ) For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, the pre-tax net gain reflects the sale of our Solovis business, net of costs to sell. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we also recorded pre-tax net gains on the sale of our Nordic power futures business and our Nasdaq Risk Modelling for Catastrophes business, net of costs to sell.  
(6 ) We exclude our share of the earnings and losses of our equity method investments. This provides a more meaningful analysis of Nasdaq’s ongoing operating performance or comparisons in Nasdaq’s performance between periods.  
(7 ) For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, this included a loss on extinguishment of debt. Gains and losses on extinguishment of debt are recorded in general, administrative and other expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income.  
(8 ) For the three months and years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, this includes accruals relating to certain legal matters, which are recorded in professional and contract services in the Consolidated Statements of Income. For the year ended December 31, 2024, these items also included the settlement of a Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, or SFSA, fine and accruals related to certain legal matters, which are recorded in regulatory expense and professional and contract services in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  
(9 ) For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a pre-tax charge as a result of settling our U.S. pension plan. The plan was terminated and partially settled in 2023, with final settlement occurring during the first quarter of 2024. The loss was recorded in compensation and benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  
(10 ) For the three months and years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, other items primarily include net gains and losses from strategic investments entered into through our corporate venture program, which are included in other income (loss) in our Consolidated Statements of Income.  
(11 ) For the three months and years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the non-GAAP adjustment to the income tax provision primarily includes the tax impact of each non-GAAP adjustment.  
(12 ) For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, other tax adjustments included tax benefits from revaluation of acquired intangibles to a lower blended state and local tax rate, revised state positions related to prior years, and the sale of Solovis. For the year ended December 31, 2025, this also reflects the release of a prior year reserve following a favorable audit settlement. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, other tax adjustments also reflect a tax benefit related to payments made to certain former Adenza employees. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, other tax adjustments included a tax benefit related to return to provision. For the year ended December 31, 2024, this also reflects a one-time net tax expense of $33 million related to the completion of an intra-group transfer of certain IP assets to our U.S. headquarters.

  (1) Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) for a given period is the current annualized value derived from subscription contracts with a defined contract value. This excludes contracts that are not recurring, are one-time in nature, or where the contract value fluctuates based on defined metrics. ARR is currently one of our key performance metrics to assess the health and trajectory of our recurring business. ARR does not have any standardized definition and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. For AxiomSL and Calypso recurring revenue contracts, the amount included in ARR is consistent with the amount that we invoice the customer during the current period. Additionally, for AxiomSL and Calypso recurring revenue contracts that include annual values that increase over time, we include in ARR only the annualized value of components of the contract that are considered active as of the date of the ARR calculation. We do not include the future committed increases in the contract value as of the date of the ARR calculation. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers.
