Impact of the Gain on Acquisition and Related Amortization

On October 31, 2022, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, StoneX Netherlands B.V., acquired CDI-Societe Cotonniere De Distribution S.A ("CDI"), based in Switzerland. The results of the three months ended December 31, 2022 include a non-taxable gain of $23.5 million related to the acquisition. The results of the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets from this acquisition.

The Company acquired Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. effective August 1, 2020. The results of the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets from this acquisition.

When evaluating acquisitions, management considers the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions.

The following table presents income before tax, income tax expense, and net income as reported in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The table also presents adjusted income before tax, adjusted income tax expense, and adjusted net income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The "adjusted" non-GAAP financial measures reflect each item after removing the impact of the gain on acquisition and the related amortization expense of the intangible assets for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.

Segment Information

Segment income is calculated as net contribution less non-variable direct segment costs. These non-variable direct expenses include trader base compensation and benefits, operational charges, trading systems and market information, professional fees, travel and business development, communications, bad debts, trade errors and direct marketing expenses.

Segment income is used by our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") as the primary measure of segment profit or loss in the evaluation for each of our operating segments. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we revised our method of allocating certain overhead costs to our operating segments, and, beginning in the three months ended December 31, 2023, the CODM also uses ‘Segment income, less allocation of overhead costs' as an additional segment measure of our segments' financial performance. The allocation of overhead costs to operating segments includes the costs associated with compliance, technology, and credit and risk costs. The share of allocated costs is based on resources consumed by the relevant businesses. In addition, the allocation of human resources and occupancy costs is principally based on employee costs within the relevant businesses. The measure of segment profit or loss most consistent with the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements is segment income.

In the accompanying segment tables, ‘Allocation of overhead costs' has been added beneath ‘Segment income', which reconciles the segment income measure to the segment income, less allocation of overhead costs measure for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Segment Results

Our business activities are managed through four operating segments, including Commercial, Institutional, Retail and Payments.

The tables below present the financial performance, a disaggregation of operating revenues, and select operating data and metrics used by management in evaluating the performance of our segments, for the periods indicated. Additional information on the performance of our segments will be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC.

Appendix A

The Company acquired CDI effective October 31, 2022, which resulted in the three months ended December 31, 2022 including a non-taxable gain of $23.5 million. The results of the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets, related to the acquisition. The Company acquired Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. effective August 1, 2020. The results of the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets, related to the acquisition.

The "adjusted" non-GAAP amounts reflect each item after removing the impact of the gain on acquisition and related amortization expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.
