FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        In addition to the historical information contained throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, there are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements regarding our expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, dividends, financing plans, business strategies, competitive positions, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and concerning securities markets and economic trends are forward-looking statements. Although we believe our expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements herein include, among others, the actions of both current and potential new competitors, rapid changes in technology, fluctuations in market trading volumes, financial market volatility, evolving industry regulations, risk of errors or malfunctions in our systems or technology, cash flows into or redemptions from equity funds, effects of inflation, customer trading patterns, the success of our new products and services offerings as well as general economic and business conditions, internationally or nationally, securities, credit and financial market conditions, and adverse changes or volatility in interest rates. Certain of these factors, and other factors, are more fully discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Issues and Uncertainties—in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which you are encouraged to read.

PART I

Item 1. Business

        Investment Technology Group, Inc. ("ITG" or the "Company") was formed as a Delaware corporation on July 22, 1983. Its principal subsidiaries include: (1) ITG Inc. and AlterNet Securities, Inc. ("AlterNet"), United States ("U.S.") broker-dealers in equity securities, (2) Hoenig Group Inc. (since the date of the acquisition on September 3, 2002) and its operating affiliates, Hoenig & Co., Inc. and Hoenig (Far East) Limited (collectively, "Hoenig"), primarily agency soft dollar broker-dealers in equity securities in the U.S. and Hong Kong, (3) Investment Technology Group Limited ("ITG Europe"), an institutional broker-dealer in Europe, (4) ITG Australia Limited ("ITG Australia"), an institutional broker-dealer in Australia, (5) ITG Canada Corp. ("ITG Canada"), an institutional broker-dealer in Canada, (6) KTG Technologies Corp. ("KTG"), a direct access provider in Canada, (7) ITG Hong Kong Ltd. ("ITG Hong Kong"), our start-up brokerage operation in Hong Kong, (8) ITG Software, Inc., our intangible property management subsidiary in the U.S., and (9) ITG Software Solutions, Inc., our software development and maintenance subsidiary in the U.S.

        We have two reportable segments: U.S. Operations and International Operations. The U.S. Operations segment provides equity trading and research services to institutional investors, brokers and alternative investment funds and money managers in the United States of America. The International Operations segment includes our agency brokerage businesses in Europe, Australia, Canada and Hong Kong, as well as a research facility in Israel.

        We are a full service trade execution firm that uses technology to increase the effectiveness and lower the cost of trading. With an emphasis on ongoing research, we offer the following products and services to our clients:

        POSIT and other execution destinations:

        ITG Electronic Trading Desk:

        Client-Site Trading Products:

        Research Products:

1


        We generate revenues on a "per transaction" basis for all orders executed. Orders are delivered to us from our "front-end" software products, QuantEX, ITG Platform and ITG WebAccess, as well as other vendors' front-ends and direct computer-to-computer links to customers. In the U.S., orders may be executed on or through (1) POSIT, (2) TriAct, (3) our SmartServers, (4) the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), (5) the American Stock Exchange, (6) certain regional exchanges, (7) the Nasdaq National Market, (8) market makers, (9) electronic communication networks ("ECNs"), systems which trade equity securities and (10) third party alternative trading systems ("ATSs"). We also earn commissions by providing independent research, proprietary research, and other services to alternative investment funds and money managers, and by paying expenses of, or commission refunds to, customers under directed brokerage or commission recapture arrangements. These services are typically referred to as soft dollar programs. In our International Operations, we generate revenues on a "per transaction" basis on the volume of securities executed or on the contract value of securities traded through POSIT or our Electronic Trading Desk. We also earn commissions through soft dollar programs and provide our international customers with certain other research products offered in the U.S. such as QuantEX and TCA.

POSIT

        POSIT was introduced in 1987 in the U.S. as a technology-based solution to the trade execution needs of quantitative and passive investment managers. It has since grown to also serve the active trading and broker-dealer communities. There are 559 clients currently using POSIT in the U.S., including corporate and government pension plans, insurance companies, bank trust departments, investment advisors, broker-dealers and mutual funds. There are 218, 70 and 17 clients using versions of POSIT in Europe, Australia and Hong Kong, respectively. In Canada, the POSIT joint venture licenses a Canadian version of the POSIT system to the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). POSIT operates as a facility of the TSX for TSX listed securities.

        POSIT is an electronic stock crossing system through which clients enter buy and sell orders to trade single stocks and portfolios of equity securities among themselves in a confidential environment. Orders may be submitted to the system directly via QuantEX, ITG Platform, ITG WebAccess or other computer-to-computer links, or indirectly via ITG Electronic Trading Desk personnel. We also work in partnership with vendors of other popular trading systems, allowing users the flexibility to route orders directly to POSIT from trading products distributed by Bridge Information Systems, BRASS, Bloomberg and others.

        U.S. POSIT currently accepts orders for a universe of approximately 23,880 different equity securities, but may be modified, as the need arises, to include additional equity securities. At the end of the submission window the POSIT algorithm is run. It optimizes the maximum possible number of buy and sell orders that match or "cross". Clients may specify conditions on their orders that must be satisfied, such as the requirement that the net cash resulting from buys and sells remain within specified constraints. A client may also specify a minimum number of shares to be executed for a given order. POSIT prices trades at the midpoint of the best bid and offer for each security at the time of the cross, based on information provided directly to the system by a third-party data vendor. There are currently eight scheduled crosses every business day, at 9:40 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and then hourly, on the hour, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time, "EST"). We also recently introduced POSIT after hours, which runs once nightly after 6:30 pm (EST). In the POSIT after hours cross, all trades are priced at the day's closing price. These trades are executed the following day at 12:01 am (EST) and are reported to Nasdaq shortly after 8:00 am (EST).

2



        POSIT provides the following significant benefits to clients:

        POSIT gives users the option of customizing their trading objectives and specifying additional constraints, while preserving the functionality of the existing POSIT system. This capability is referred to collectively as a "POSIT strategy." This capability allows orders that might otherwise be ineligible for POSIT to participate in the match. POSIT strategies include ResRisk, which allows users to control the risk of the unexecuted "residual" portfolio, and Pairs, which makes execution of one trade contingent on the execution of another, at or better than a given relative valuation. Clients engaging in portfolio funding, liquidation, restructuring and rebalancing transactions often utilize ResRisk. Risk arbitrage, statistical arbitrage and portfolio substitution trades are examples of transactions that can be implemented using the Pairs strategy. We also implement custom applications upon request.

        Clients can also access POSIT through our brokerage subsidiary, AlterNet. AlterNet enables clients to execute trades in POSIT on a net basis, i.e.with the commission payable to us for the POSIT trade included in the price at which the client executes their POSIT trade. This feature is particularly attractive to our broker-dealer customers and AlterNet was created in response to broker-dealers' desires to have net pricing in POSIT.

        The following graph illustrates the average daily volume of shares crossed on U.S. POSIT since 1994:

GRAPHIC

TriAct

        TriAct is a continuous, intra-day trading vehicle available to our customers. TriAct offers full anonymity, continuous execution opportunities, no market impact in respect of executions, and provides access to our POSIT system. TriAct provides price improvement on every transaction and opportunities

3



for size improvement. Participants in TriAct submit orders that may be executed in one of three ways: (a) against the ongoing flow of market bound orders submitted by other ITG clients and our Electronic Trading Desk, (b) against orders from other TriAct participants (liquidity suppliers) and (c) against orders sent to TriAct to participate in all of POSIT's eight intra-day crosses. Both listed and OTC securities can be traded in TriAct.

        An execution in TriAct is priced between the bid/offer spread, at the midpoint if the counterparty is a TriAct liquidity supplier, or at 75% of the spread if trading with market flow participants. TriAct allows traders to control how their orders are traded by offering order expiration time, control of the rate at which orders are traded (1, 5, or 15 minute intervals), price protection, and portfolio buy/sell and minimum share constraints. In addition, TriAct enforces the tick/bid test rules for short sales of securities. TriAct is available from ITG Platform and QuantEX as well as third party trade order management systems.

SmartServers

        SmartServers are automated trading destinations that accept orders from client workstations and execute them using a computerized trading strategy. All SmartServers are physically located at ITG, and are accessed electronically by clients via the ITG Platform or QuantEX, via direct connections or via our Electronic Trading Desk. Each SmartServer is an automated trading agent pre-programmed with a particular trading style. By using these agents, traders can focus their attention on a subset of their orders, letting the SmartServer trade the rest of the orders on the list.

        Currently, we provide three strategy-based servers: VWAP SmartServer, SPI SmartServer and OTC Router. The VWAP SmartServer is designed to allow clients to direct their orders to us to be executed in a manner designed to closely track a security's volume-weighted average price, or VWAP, throughout the trading day. The VWAP SmartServer analyzes liquidity and market conditions continuously throughout the day and determines the appropriate order size and order price to approximate the VWAP. Clients may choose to execute relative to the VWAP price for the entire trading day, or for some subset of that trading day.

        The SPI SmartServer is designed to improve trading performance of small- and medium-size orders that are traditionally executed as market orders. The SPI SmartServer analyzes momentum, volatility, and indicators to decide how and when to trade an order to improve upon the results expected from a market order. Clients may choose a time horizon for each order, anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes, whereby the SPI SmartServer monitors the market and determines the timing, pricing, and size of outgoing orders using real-time market data.

        The OTC Router provides convenient electronic access to the OTC market, a single portal through which traders can access all OTC destinations. For marketable orders, the OTC Router sweeps available liquidity from all destinations using SuperMontage and direct connections to all major ECNs. The OTC Router features liquidity-hunting algorithms that rapidly locate all hidden liquidity at each price level without leaking any information to the market. For non-marketable limit orders, the OTC Router supports all major ECN features to eliminate the guesswork from posting liquidity. Instead of keeping track of which ECNs support each of the various order types, traders specify the features they want and let the OTC Router determine the appropriate venue. Whenever the Router has a choice between several destinations, it uses historical execution quality to determine the best routing.

Electronic Trading Desk

        The Electronic Trading Desk is a full-service agency execution group that specializes in the use of our proprietary products, including extensive use of POSIT, TriAct and our SmartServers for trade execution. For clients that do not send orders electronically to POSIT, TriAct or our SmartServers, our account executives receive orders by telephone, fax or e-mail.

4



        QuantEX, ITG Platform and ITG WebAccess clients deliver lists of orders electronically to our desk and, as orders are executed by the desk, reports are automatically delivered electronically to the client's terminal. The Electronic Trading Desk personnel are thereby able to assist customers with decision support analyses generated by ITG Platform, QuantEX or ITG WebAccess and with the execution of trades. Clients give our traders single stock orders or lists of orders to work throughout the day as well as unfilled orders that remain due to order imbalances in POSIT matches.

        For order completion outside of POSIT match windows, the Electronic Trading Desk utilizes numerous sources of liquidity to complete trades. The Electronic Trading Desk will actively seek the contra side of client orders by soliciting interest among other clients, use QuantEX to route the orders to multiple markets, including primary exchanges, regional exchanges, over-the-counter market makers, ECNs and ATSs, or use our active order traders to execute the trade with floor brokers or over-the-counter brokers.

        The Portfolio Trading Group focuses on agency-only list and program trading. By employing a step-by-step process that leverages technology and access to multiple sources of liquidity, the Portfolio Trading Group seeks to systematically achieve high quality executions for the client by controlling transaction costs. A client program is evaluated with a pre-trade analysis to determine aggregate portfolio characteristics, estimate market impact, and to quantify risk. The group implements a number of sophisticated trading strategies using QuantEX to meet execution objectives. After the execution is completed, we provide the client with comprehensive reports analyzing execution results utilizing ITG Research products.

Soft Dollar Programs

        We actively market and distribute independent third-party research products and services to professional investment managers with the expectation that these managers will use our products and services to execute securities trades, which generate specified amounts of commission revenues. These types of arrangements are referred to as soft dollar arrangements and are primarily pursued by our Hoenig subsidiaries.

        An important aspect of our soft dollar programs involves identifying independent sources of investment research and information, that adds value to our customers' investment decision-making process. We seek research services from private research groups, independent analysts, information services organizations and other entities in the U.S. and overseas and collaborate with these providers to obtain products and services that assist our investment management customers in carrying out their investment management responsibilities.

        We obtain research products and services from over 400 independent sources and regularly communicate the availability and suitability of these products and services to our customers. Through our relationships with independent research analysts and other service providers, we offer a wide variety of specialized and sophisticated research products and services, including fundamental research, economic research and forecasting, quantitative analysis, global research, quotation, news and database systems, fixed income research, software for securities analysis, portfolio management and performance measurement services. Many of these products and services are available directly from the research analyst or service provider, as well as from other brokerage firms, including specialty firms offering only independent research and firms that also provide proprietary research.

        Our relationship with an independent research provider typically is one in which the research organization agrees to supply research products or services to our customers for a specified period of time (generally one year or less), and we agree to pay for such research. All of our research relationships are non-exclusive arrangements.

5



        In addition, we engage in directed brokerage arrangements with certain institutional investors, particularly hedge funds, private investment funds and investment partnerships, corporations and pension plans. A directed brokerage arrangement is a contractual arrangement between a brokerage firm and its customer whereby the broker pays certain expenses of the customer, such as custodian fees, or refunds to the customer a portion of commissions paid in consideration of the customer directing commission business to the broker. These types of arrangements are commonly known as directed brokerage because the customer instructs its money managers to direct trades for the customer's account to the broker with whom the customer has a directed brokerage arrangement. In the case of pension plans, directed brokerage arrangements often involve the payment of commission refunds to the pension plan and are often referred to as "commission recapture" programs.

QuantEX

        QuantEX is our Unix-based trade management system, an advanced tool for technologically sophisticated clients transacting large volumes of orders. QuantEX helps clients efficiently manage every step of the trading process: from decision-making to execution to tracking of trade list status. From a dedicated workstation at their desks, users can access fully-integrated real-time and historical data and analytics, route and execute orders electronically, and perform trade management functions. QuantEX is an integrated system that supports multiple trade-related activities that have traditionally required the use of several unrelated systems.

        QuantEX is a rule-based decision support system that allows traders to quantify their trading processes to create automated strategies. It is designed to implement each client's trading styles and strategies and to apply them to hundreds of stocks, portfolios or industry groups at once. With QuantEX, clients can flag moment-to-moment opportunities they would ordinarily want to pursue, but do so much more efficiently and scientifically.

        Rule-based strategies can be based on a wide range of quantitative models. Passive traders can use QuantEX strategies to help minimize slippage from various benchmarks, reduce tracking errors and achieve desired sector balances. Active traders can build models to match a wide variety of trading approaches, such as pairs trading, market-neutral algorithms and index or risk arbitrage. QuantEX strategies can involve the human trader in each order decision, or can fully automate the trading process, depending on the client's preference.

        QuantEX analyzes lists of securities based on the individual user's trading strategy. QuantEX provides clients access to our proprietary research, including pre-trade, post-trade and intra-day analytical tools. QuantEX has access to the ITG Data Center, which is a comprehensive historical database that provides a variety of derived analytics based upon raw historical data. Our support specialists translate the trading criteria developed by the client into a set of rules for trading securities, which are then loaded into QuantEX. QuantEX applies the client's proprietary trading rules to a continuous flow of current market information on the list of securities selected by the user to generate real-time decision support. A user's rules can be based on a wide range of quantitative models or strategies, such as liquidity measures, technical indicators, price benchmarks, tracking to specific industries and sectors, pairs or other long or short strategies, index arbitrage, risk measurements and liquidity parameters for trade urgency, size or timing. These rules typically serve as a guide in support of a client's trading decisions. In addition, QuantEX supports the ability to implement these trading decisions automatically via an auto-trading strategy.

        As such, QuantEX can automate the complex trade management requirements typical of investment strategies that trade large volumes of securities through multiple sources of liquidity. Orders can be electronically routed to multiple markets, including the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange and certain regional stock exchanges, the Nasdaq National Market, POSIT, TriAct, our SmartServers, the Electronic Trading Desk, over-the-counter market-makers, and selected broker-dealers, ECNs and

6



third party ATSs. We continue to create links to additional ATSs and other liquidity sources where appropriate. Trades routed through QuantEX are automatically tracked and summarized. Each order can be monitored by source of execution, by trade list, by portfolio or globally with all other orders placed. QuantEX's built-in trade allocation features provide a facility for automated back-office clearance and settlement. QuantEX supports the Financial Information eXchange ("FIX") messaging protocol and can link to other FIX compliant systems.

        QuantEX also allows our clients to access our ISIS facility, an equity pre- and post-trade analysis system. Via the ISIS facility, QuantEX users can request both aggregate and stock-by-stock liquidity reports for a portfolio trade prior to and during execution. Clients can generate standard reports or use a report writer to design custom reports. Certain elements of these reports can also be displayed directly on the QuantEX execution page and referenced in QuantEX strategies. These pre-trade analyses help QuantEX users make decisions about how best to trade a portfolio, for example by helping identify the most difficult trades for special handling. The ISIS post-trade reporting facility allows QuantEX users to compare actual executed prices to user-selected benchmark prices in order to help assess trade execution quality. Available benchmarks include the volume-weighted average price, closing price and opening price.

        Our support specialists install the system, train users and provide ongoing support for the use of QuantEX's order routing and analysis capabilities. Our specialists are knowledgeable about portfolio management and trading as well as the system's hardware and software. Our support team works closely with each client to develop trading strategies and rules, explore new trading approaches, provide system integration services and implement system upgrades and enhancements.

        Revenues are generated through commissions and transaction fees charged for each trade electronically routed through QuantEX to the many destinations available from the application. We do not derive royalties from the sale or licensing of the QuantEX software. As of December 31, 2002, there were 139 installations of QuantEX at 60 client sites in the U.S.

ITG Platform

        ITG Platform provides clients with seamless connectivity from their desktop to a variety of execution destinations, such as POSIT, TriAct, our SmartServers, the Electronic Trading Desk, the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange and certain regional stock exchanges, the Nasdaq National Market, over-the-counter market makers, selected ECNs and third party ATSs. We continue to create links to additional liquidity sources where appropriate. Orders may be corrected or cancelled electronically, and all reports are delivered electronically back to the ITG Platform. ITG Platform also supports special trading interfaces as needed by POSIT strategies and SmartServers. Allocation information can be associated with executions in the ITG Platform and delivered to us electronically. ITG Platform has access to historical data through the ITG Data Center, including a wide array of analytics, such as average historical share volumes, dollar volumes, volatility and historical spread statistics. ITG Platform also provides clients enhanced list trading capabilities, access to ECN order types and, in some cases, access to real time Nasdaq Level II data as well as the ability to communicate with us via the Internet or through private networks.

        ITG Platform was intended for broad distribution to institutional clients, so it was designed to run in conventional PC environments alongside other applications, and be inexpensive to install, maintain and support.

        Many technical features support these goals:

7


        As of December 31, 2002, there were 519 installations of ITG Platform at 230 client sites in the U.S.

ITG WebAccess

        ITG WebAccess allows users to take advantage of our advanced trading services from anywhere through the Internet. ITG WebAccess is a browser-based order routing tool for sending orders to POSIT and the Electronic Trading Desk.

Pre-trade Agency Cost Analysis ("ITG ACE") and Post-trade Transaction Cost Analysis ("TCA")

        Accessed through the Internet, ITG ACE and TCA are equity pre- and post-trade analysis systems. ITG ACE and TCA users can request both aggregate and stock-by-stock liquidity reports for a trade portfolio prior to, during and following execution. Clients can generate standard reports built into the browser-based applications. Reports can be viewed, printed or saved to a file.

        ITG ACE helps users make decisions about the expected cost of trading. It also helps determine how best to trade a portfolio, for example by identifying the most difficult trades for special handling and by providing a reference point for evaluating principal trade pricing. The TCA post-trade reporting facility allows users to compare actual executed prices to user-selected benchmark prices in order to help assess trade execution quality. Available benchmarks include the volume-weighted average price, closing price, pre-trade midquote and last trade, among others.

ITG/Opt

        ITG/Opt is a computer-based equity portfolio selection system that employs advanced optimization techniques to help investors construct portfolios that meet their investment objectives. Special features of the system make it particularly useful to "long/short" and taxable investors, as well as any investor seeking to control transaction costs. ITG/Opt is usually delivered as a "turnkey" system that includes software and, in some cases, hardware and data. Included in the service is telephone and on-site support to assist in training and integrate the system with the user's other investment systems and databases, with the goal of tightly coupling ITG/Opt to the client's workflow. In addition to its core portfolio construction capabilities, ITG/Opt has powerful backtesting and batch scheduling features that permit efficient researching of new or refined investment strategies. The system, which is targeted at highly sophisticated investment applications, is offered primarily to our largest clients. Typically, portfolios that are constructed using ITG/Opt are executed via ITG, using one or more execution services, such as QuantEX, the Electronic Trading Desk and POSIT.

Portfolio Risk Identification and Measurement Engine ("ITG PRIME")

        ITG PRIME is a web-based portfolio risk analysis and management platform that allows users to monitor and identify sources of risk in a portfolio or trade list, measure risk relative to a benchmark and forecast the future volatility of a portfolio. ITG PRIME provides risk information at the portfolio, sector and individual stock levels. The risk metrics are based on ITG's proprietary suite of equity risk models.

ITG Fair Value Model

        Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, mutual funds and their directors/trustees are required to make a good faith determination of the fair value of a fund's portfolio securities when market quotations are not readily available. The ITG Fair Value Model facilitates such fair value computations.

        In most instances, an open-end mutual fund's NAV is calculated based on the closing price for each security underlying the fund's portfolio. For mutual funds with foreign or thinly traded assets, however, this practice may raise concerns regarding the "fair value" of a fund's securities where the underlying securities' local markets close prior to the close of the U.S. markets and therefore do not account for market events in the U.S. or other subsequent events.

        The ITG Fair Value Model is a research tool, which provides fair value adjustment factors to assist in determining whether to adjust securities' closing prices for liquidity, time zone, and other factors.

ITG Risk Models

        ITG Risk Models are equity risk models that assist portfolio managers, researchers and traders in measuring, analyzing and managing risk in a variety of market environments and applications. ITG Risk Models can be used to estimate tracking error relative to benchmark portfolios, forecast total volatility of long/short portfolios, construct market/sector/industry-neutral trade lists, measure exposure and decompose risk, as well as create optimal portfolios in conjunction with an equity portfolio selection system such as ITG/Opt.

ITG Research

        In addition to its role in our overall research and development effort, Research provides both sales and consulting services to our clients and prospective clients. Taken together, these activities are a key component of our overall relationship development and maintenance activities.

        In its sales capacity, Research introduces our clients and prospective clients to the full range of products and services offered by our company and provides information about features, pricing and technical/functional specifications. The sales process includes development of an in-depth understanding of client practices and requirements and the design and presentation of integrated solutions based on our products.

        Consulting encompasses a set of value-added services for the benefit of our clients. These services break down into three main categories: product support, development of customized trading strategies and provision of quantitative analysis. Our research products include ITG ACE, TCA, ITG/Opt, ITG PRIME, Fair Value Model and ITG Risk Models. Support activities include trading strategy design and implementation, system integration, training and coordination of technical support. Strategy development involves building customized QuantEX strategies that automate the trading styles of specific clients. Quantitative analysis covers a broad range of activities such as transaction cost analysis, investment strategy simulations and provision of historical time series of proprietary analytics. As part of its analysis activities, Research publishes and distributes studies on topics of interest to our clients. In the same way users of fundamental research compensate the brokerage houses that provide such

9



research (i.e., directing commissions to such brokerage houses), our clients reward us for these value-added research services.

ITG Europe

        In the fourth quarter of 1998, we entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Société Générale, and founded ITG Europe. On November 18, 1998, ITG Europe launched an agency brokerage operation that included the operation of a European version of the POSIT system. On May 2, 2001, we purchased Société Générale's entire interest in ITG Europe for $18.5 million. ITG Europe provides institutional investors throughout Europe many of the products and services provided to our U.S. customer base, including POSIT and certain other research products such as TCA.

ITG Australia

        In 1997, we entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Burdett, Buckeridge & Young ("BBY") and founded ITG Australia Limited, an international brokerage firm that applies our cost-saving execution and transaction research technologies to Australian equity trading. In November of 2000, we acquired the remaining interest in ITG Australia (from BBY and certain employees of ITG Australia) that we did not already own, bringing our ownership interest up to 100%. ITG Australia provides institutional investors in Australia many of the products and services provided to our U.S. customer base, including POSIT and certain other research products such as TCA.

ITG Canada

        In April 2000, we announced the formation of our Canadian subsidiary, ITG Canada Corp., which functions as an institutional broker-dealer in Canada. ITG Canada provides Canadian institutions access to many of the ITG products provided to our U.S. customer base including a version of QuantEX developed for the Canadian markets. On June 29, 2001, the POSIT joint venture entered into an agreement to license a Canadian version of the POSIT system to the TSX. This Canadian version of POSIT was launched in 2002. It operates as a facility of the TSX for TSX listed securities.

        On September 28, 2001, we acquired the KastenNet business of Kasten Chase Applied Research Limited for $4.7 million. KastenNet is a direct access provider that employs proprietary technology to connect its clients, Canadian broker-dealers, to the Toronto Stock Exchange. We acquired the assets of KastenNet via KTG, a new wholly-owned subsidiary of ITG.

ITG Hong Kong

        In June 2001, we announced the formation of ITG Hong Kong Ltd. ITG Hong Kong is an institutional brokerage firm focusing on applying ITG's cost saving trading technologies in the Asian markets. POSIT was launched in Hong Kong in June 2002 for the matching of Hong Kong equities.

Hoenig

        On September 3, 2002, we completed the acquisition of Hoenig Group Inc., which, through its operating affiliates, provides trade execution, independent research and other services to alternative investment funds and money managers globally.

        Under the terms of the transaction, Hoenig stockholders received approximately $105.0 million, or $11.58 per share, of which approximately $2.4 million, or $0.23 per share, have been placed into an escrow account.

        Such escrow requirement relates to the pursuit, on behalf of Hoenig Group Inc. shareholders, of certain insurance and other claims in connection with the $7.2 million pre-tax loss announced by

10



Hoenig Group Inc. on May 9, 2002 as a result of unauthorized trading in foreign securities, by a former employee of Hoenig & Company Limited, in violation of Hoenig's policies and procedures.

        In connection with this acquisition, we incurred transaction costs consisting primarily of professional fees of approximately $2.8 million, which have been included in the purchase price. The purchase price was allocated to those assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of Hoenig's net assets as of September 3, 2002. Approximately $0.5 million was allocated to the "Hoenig" trade name, which is being amortized over three years. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was $57.3 million and has been allocated to goodwill. The results of operations of Hoenig have been included in our results of operations since September 3, 2002.

Regulation

        Certain of our U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various securities regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate. In the U.S., the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is the federal agency responsible for the administration of the federal securities laws, with the regulation of broker-dealers primarily delegated to self-regulatory organizations ("SROs"), principally the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and national securities exchanges. In addition to federal oversight, securities firms are also subject to regulation by state securities administrators in those states in which they conduct business. Furthermore, our non-US subsidiaries are subject to regulation by central banks and regulatory bodies in those jurisdictions where each subsidiary is authorized to do business. The SROs, central banks and regulatory bodies conduct periodic examinations of our broker-dealers subsidiaries in accordance with the rules they have adopted and amended from time to time.

        ITG's principal regulated subsidiaries are discussed below.

11


        Broker-dealers are subject to regulations covering all aspects of the securities business, including sales methods, trade practices among broker-dealers, use and safekeeping of clients' funds and securities, capital structure of securities firms, record-keeping and conduct of directors, officers and employees. Additional legislation, changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules may directly affect the mode of operation and profitability of broker-dealers. The SEC, SROs, state securities commissions and foreign regulatory authorities may conduct administrative proceedings, which can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, its officers or employees. The principal purpose of regulation and discipline of broker-dealers is the protection of clients and the securities markets, rather than the protection of creditors and stockholders of broker-dealers.

        ITG Inc., AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. are required by law to belong to the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. In the event of a U.S. broker-dealer's insolvency, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation fund provides protection for client accounts up to $500,000 per customer, with a limitation of $100,000 on claims for cash balances. ITG Canada is required by Canadian law to belong to the Canadian Investors Protection Fund ("CIPF"). In the event of a Canadian broker-dealer's insolvency, CIPF provides protection for client accounts up to 1,000,000 Canadian dollars per customer. ITG Hong Kong is required by law to belong to the Unified Exchange Compensation Fund, which is operated by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and supervised by the SFC. The Unified Exchange Compensation Fund provides protection for ITG Hong Kong's clients accounts up to 8.0 million Hong Kong dollars per customer.

Regulation ATS

        From the formation of the POSIT joint venture until the adoption of Regulation ATS, POSIT operated under a "no-action" letter from the SEC staff that it would not recommend that the SEC commence an enforcement action if POSIT were operated without registering as an exchange. We are currently operating POSIT, TriAct and SmartServers as part of our broker-dealer operations in accordance with Regulation ATS. Accordingly, none of POSIT, TriAct and SmartServers are registered with the SEC as an exchange. There can be no assurance that the SEC will not in the future seek to impose more stringent regulatory requirements on the operation of alternative trading systems such as POSIT, TriAct and SmartServers. In addition, certain of the securities exchanges have actively sought to have more stringent regulatory requirements imposed upon automated trade execution systems. There can be no assurance that Congress will not enact additional legislation applicable to alternative trading systems.

Net Capital Requirement

        ITG Inc., AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. are subject to the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) under the Exchange Act, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. ITG Inc. has elected to use the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that ITG Inc. maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions. AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. have elected to use the basic method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that they maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $100,000 for AlterNet and $250,000 for Hoenig & Co., Inc., or 62/3% of aggregate indebtedness.

12



        At December 31, 2002, ITG Inc., AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. had net capital of $86.3 million, $3.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of which $86.0 million, $3.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, was in excess of required net capital.

        In addition, our Canadian, Australian, European and Asian operations had regulatory capital in excess of the minimum requirements applicable to each business as of December 31, 2002 of approximately $6.8 million, $2.7 million, $12.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2002, Hoenig & Co., Inc. held a $3.8 million cash balance in a segregated bank account for the benefit of customers under certain directed brokerage arrangements. In addition, Hoenig & Co., Inc. computes a deposit due on any fail to receive/deliver for foreign securities of their customers transacted through its foreign affiliates.

        Although we believe that the combination of our existing net regulatory capital and operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet regulatory capital requirements for our subsidiaries, a shortfall in net regulatory capital would have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

License and Relationship with Barra

        In 1987, Jefferies & Company, Inc. and BARRA Inc. ("Barra") formed a joint venture for the purpose of developing and marketing POSIT. In 1993, Jefferies & Company, Inc. assigned all of its rights relating to the joint venture and the license agreement, discussed below, to us.

        The technology used to operate POSIT in the U.S. is licensed to us pursuant to a perpetual license agreement between ITG Inc. and the POSIT joint venture. The license agreement grants ITG Inc. the exclusive right to use certain proprietary software necessary to the continued operation of POSIT and a non-exclusive license to use proprietary software that operates in conjunction with POSIT. Under the license agreement, ITG Inc. pays quarterly royalties to the POSIT joint venture equal to specified percentages of the transaction fees we charge on each share crossed through POSIT.

        The license agreement permits Barra on behalf of the joint venture to terminate the agreement upon certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency or upon an uncured breach by ITG Inc. of certain covenants, the performance of which are all within our control. Although we do not believe that we will experience difficulty in complying with our obligations under the license agreement, any termination of the license agreement resulting from an uncured default would have a material adverse effect on us.

        Under the license agreement and the terms of the joint venture, Barra continues to provide certain support services to ITG Inc. in connection with the operation of POSIT, including software updates and the availability of experienced personnel. Barra also provides support for the development and maintenance of POSIT.

        Under the terms of the joint venture, Barra generally has the right to approve any sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance of our interest in the joint venture. The POSIT joint venture may earn a royalty from licensing the POSIT technology to other businesses. The joint venture licensed to ITG Australia, ITG Europe and ITG Hong Kong the right to use the POSIT technology for crossing Australian, European and Asian equity securities. The POSIT joint venture has also licensed the TriAct technology to ITG Inc. on an exclusive basis.

        For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, Barra earned aggregate royalty income in respect of POSIT of $19.6 million, $23.7 million, and $20.2 million, respectively, under the license agreement.

Competition

        The automated trade execution and analysis services that we offer compete with services offered by leading brokerage firms and transaction processing firms, and with providers of electronic trading and

13



trade order management systems and financial information services. POSIT also competes with various national and regional securities exchanges and execution facilities, the Nasdaq National Market, ATSs and ECNs, as well as other share matching systems for trade execution services. In addition, the number of trading products that compete with our Client Site Trading Products has been increasing. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, research and development and other resources. We believe that our services compete on the basis of access to liquidity, transaction cost and market impact cost reduction, timeliness of execution and probability of trade completion. Although we believe that POSIT, TriAct, QuantEX, ITG Platform, SmartServers, the Electronic Trading Desk and our Research services have established certain competitive advantages, our ability to maintain these advantages will require continued identification of enhancements to our products, investment in the development of our services, additional marketing activities and customer support services. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to continue to make this investment, that our competitors will not devote significantly more resources to competing services or that we will otherwise be successful in maintaining our current competitive advantages. In addition, we cannot predict the effect that changes in regulations applicable to our business may have on the competitive environment.

Research and Product Development

        We devote a significant portion of our resources to the development and improvement of technology-based services. Important aspects of our research and development effort include enhancements of existing software, the ongoing development of new software and services and investment in technology to enhance our efficiency. In our consolidated statements of income, we expensed research and development costs amounting to $23.0 million, $19.7 million, and $16.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

        The development of technology-based services is a complex and time-consuming process. New products and enhancements to existing products can require long development and testing periods. Significant delays in new product releases or significant problems in creating new products could negatively impact our revenues.

Dependence on Proprietary Intellectual Property; Risks of Infringement

        Our success is dependent, in part, upon our proprietary intellectual property. We generally rely upon patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets to establish and protect our rights in our proprietary technology, methods and products. A third party may still try to challenge, invalidate or circumvent the protective mechanisms that we select. We cannot assure that any of the rights granted under any patent, copyright or trademark that we may obtain will protect our competitive advantages. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S.

        In the past several years, there has been a proliferation of so-called "business method patents" applicable to the computer and financial services industries. There has also been a substantial increase in the number of such patent applications filed. Under current law, U.S. patent applications remain secret for 18 months and may, depending upon where else such applications are filed, remain secret until issuance of a patent. In light of these factors, it is not economically practicable to determine in advance whether our products or services may infringe the present or future patent rights of others. We believe that factors such as technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements, name recognition and reliable product maintenance are essential to establishing and maintaining a state-of-the-art technological system. There can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our technology from disclosure or that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology. It is likely that from time to time, we will receive notices from others of claims or potential claims of intellectual property infringement or we may be called upon to defend a joint venture partner, customer, vendee or licensee against such third

14



party claims. Responding to these kinds of claims, regardless of merit, could consume valuable time, result in costly litigation or cause delays, all of which could have a material adverse effect on us. Responding to these claims could also require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements with the third parties claiming infringement. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if available, may not be available on terms acceptable to us.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2002, we employed 635 personnel globally. Our U.S. Operations employed 451 personnel and our International Operations employed 184 personnel at that date.

Item 2. Properties

U.S. Operations

        Our principal offices are located at 380 Madison Avenue in New York, New York. We currently lease the entire 4th floor and a portion of the 5thand 7th floors or approximately 83,400 square feet of office space. The fifteen-year lease terms for the 4th and 5th floors and the thirteen-year lease term for the 7th floor expire in January 2013.

        We maintain a research, development and technical support services facility in Culver City, California where we occupy approximately 78,000 square feet of office space. We lease the California facility pursuant to lease agreements that expire in December 2005.

        Additionally, we have a backup and regional office in Boston, Massachusetts where we occupy approximately 21,300 square feet of office space. The ten-year lease term for this space expires in April 2005.

        Hoenig & Co., Inc. maintains an office in Rye Brook, New York where we occupy approximately 28,000 square feet of office space. The lease agreement expires in December 2010.

International Operations

        We have a research facility in Herzliya, Israel where we occupy approximately 8,000 square feet of office space. We lease the Israel space pursuant to a seven-year lease agreement that expires in December 2008.

        ITG Canada has offices in Toronto, Canada where we occupy approximately 7,800 square feet of office space pursuant to two leases expiring in December 2007 and August 2008, respectively. In addition, KTG has approximately 5,900 square feet of office space under a lease expiring in May 2013.

        ITG Europe has offices in Dublin, Ireland and London, England where we occupy approximately 4,000 and 5,000 square feet of office space, respectively. We lease the Dublin space pursuant to a seventeen-year lease agreement that expires in July 2018 and we lease the London space pursuant to a five-year lease agreement that expires in July 2005.

        ITG Australia has trading facilities in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia where we occupy approximately 4,600 and 2,700 square feet of office space, respectively. We lease the Melbourne space

15



pursuant to a three-year lease agreement that expires in June 2003 and we lease the Sydney space pursuant to a five-year lease agreement that expires in February 2006.

        Our Hong Kong operations occupy approximately 6,800 square feet of office space. The lease agreement expires in June 2004.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

        In 1998, we received a "30-day letter" proposing certain adjustments which, if sustained, would result in a tax deficiency of approximately $9.6 million plus interest. The adjustments proposed relate to (i) the disallowance of deductions taken in connection with the termination of certain compensation plans at the time of our initial public offering in 1994 and (ii) the disallowance of tax credits taken in connection with certain research and development expenditures. On September 18, 2000, we entered into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") with respect to the compensation plan deductions, whereby the IRS agreed that the deductions taken were allowable deductions. This agreement eliminates approximately $7.6 million of the $9.6 million potential tax deficiency raised by the IRS in 1998. We are continuing to pursue the resolution of the research and development tax credit issue and we believe that the ultimate resolution will not be material to the financial position or results of operations of our company.

        We are not currently a party to any other material legal proceeding.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

        There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2002.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters

Common Stock Data

        Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ITG". Effective December 7, 2001, our outstanding shares of common stock split three-for-two. High and low closing sales prices have been retroactively restated to reflect such split.

        The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of the high and low closing sales prices per share of our common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.

        On March 20, 2003, the closing sales price per share for our common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange was $15.10. On March 20, 2003, we believe that our common stock was held by approximately 8,400 stockholders of record or through nominees in street name accounts with brokers.

        In 2002, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an aggregate of 4.0 million additional shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. The share repurchase program is being effected from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, through open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. As of December 31, 2002, we were authorized to repurchase up to approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock. The share repurchase program may be suspended at any time.

        Our dividend policy is to retain earnings to finance the operations and expansion of our businesses. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock at this time.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto.

General

        The Company has two reportable segments: U.S. Operations and International Operations. The U.S. Operations segment provides equity trading and research services to institutional investors, brokers and alternative investment funds and money managers in the United States of America. The International Operations segment includes our agency brokerage businesses in Australia, Canada, Europe and Hong Kong, as well as a research facility in Israel.

Revenues:

        We generate substantially all of our revenues from the following three products and services ("Product Revenues"):

        Revenues primarily consist of commissions from customers' use of our trade execution and analytical services. Because these commissions are paid on a per-transaction basis, revenues fluctuate from period to period depending on (i) the volume of securities traded through our services in the U.S. and Canada, and (ii) the contract value of securities traded in Europe, Australia and Hong Kong. We record as POSIT revenue any order that is executed in the POSIT system regardless of the manner in which the order was submitted to POSIT, as well as orders executed in TriAct and through our SmartServers. We collect a commission from each side of a trade matched in POSIT or TriAct. We collect commissions from all orders executed through our SmartServers. We record as Electronic Trading Desk revenue any order that is handled by our trading desk personnel and executed at any trade execution destination other than POSIT, TriAct and SmartServers. We record as Client Site Trading Products revenue any order that is sent by our clients, through ITG's Client Site Trading Product systems but without assistance from the Electronic Trading Desk, to any trade execution destination other than POSIT, TriAct and SmartServers. We also record within our three products and services, commissions earned in connection with providing independent research, a practice commonly referred to as soft dollars. Commissions on soft dollar trades are reported net of the corresponding costs of independent research and other services. Other revenues include (a) interest income/expense, (b) market gains/losses and financing costs resulting from temporary positions in securities assumed in the normal course of our agency trading business, (c) fees for development and other services provided to our unconsolidated international affiliates prior to our acquisition of the remaining interest in ITG Europe in May 2001, (d) realized gains and losses in connection with our cash management and strategic investment activities, (e) subscription revenues for routing services in the U.S. and direct access connectivity in Canada from KTG following the September 28, 2001 acquisition of the

20



KastenNet business of Kasten Chase, and (f) income/loss from positions taken by ITG Canada as customer facilitations which are a customary practice in the Canadian marketplace.

Expenses:

        Expenses consist of compensation and employee benefits, transaction processing, software royalties, occupancy and equipment, telecommunications and data processing services, net (gain)/loss on long-term investments, restructuring charges, and other general and administrative expenses. Compensation and employee benefits expenses include base salaries, bonuses, employment agency fees, part-time employee compensation, fringe benefits, including employer contributions for medical insurance, life insurance, retirement plans and payroll taxes, less the portion of salaries that is capitalized as part of our software development activities. Transaction processing expenses consist of floor brokerage and clearing fees as well as connection fees for use of certain third party execution services. Software royalties are payments to a subsidiary of Barra, Inc., our POSIT joint venture partner. Occupancy and equipment expenses include rent, depreciation, amortization of leasehold improvements, maintenance, utilities and occupancy taxes. Telecommunications and data processing services include costs for computer hardware, infrastructure enhancements, data center equipment, market data services and voice, data, telex and network communications. Net (gain)/loss on long-term investments includes equity gain/loss on joint venture investments. Restructuring charges include severance payments and related costs in connection with a reduction in our workforce of approximately 10% undertaken in December 2002. Other general and administrative expenses include amortization of capitalized software costs, amortization of other intangibles as well as legal, audit, tax, consulting and promotional expenses.

Business Combinations

        In the fourth quarter of 1998, we entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Société Générale, and founded ITG Europe. On November 18, 1998, ITG Europe launched an agency brokerage operation that included the operation of a European version of the POSIT system. On May 2, 2001, we purchased Société Générale's entire interest in ITG Europe for $18.5 million. The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The $16.7 million excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill.

        In November 2000, we completed the purchase from BBY and certain employees of ITG Australia of the remaining 50% interest in ITG Australia that we did not already own, bringing our ownership up to 100%. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The $5.0 million cost exceeded the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired by $3.7 million. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill.

        On September 28, 2001, we acquired the KastenNet business of Kasten Chase Applied Research Limited for $4.7 million. KastenNet is a direct access provider that employs proprietary technology to connect its clients, Canadian broker-dealers, to the Toronto Stock Exchange. We acquired the assets of KastenNet via KTG, a new wholly-owned subsidiary of ITG. The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. A software license we acquired amounting to $4.2 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen-year period.

        On September 3, 2002, we completed the acquisition of Hoenig Group Inc., which, through its operating affiliates, provides trade execution, independent research and other services to alternative investment funds and money managers globally. Under the terms of the transaction, Hoenig stockholders received approximately $105.0 million, or $11.58 per share, of which approximately

21



$2.4 million, or $0.23 per share, have been placed into an escrow account. Such escrow requirement relates to the pursuit, on behalf of Hoenig Group Inc. shareholders, of certain insurance and other claims in connection with a $7.2 million pre-tax loss announced by Hoenig Group Inc. on May 9, 2002 as a result of unauthorized trading in foreign securities, by a former employee of Hoenig & Company Limited, in violation of Hoenig's policies and procedures. In connection with this acquisition, we incurred transaction costs consisting primarily of professional fees of approximately $2.8 million, which have been included in the purchase price. The purchase price was allocated to those assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of Hoenig's net assets as of September 3, 2002. Approximately $0.5 million was allocated to the "Hoenig" trade name, which is being amortized over three years. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was $57.3 million and has been allocated to goodwill. The results of operations of Hoenig have been included in our results of operations since September 3, 2002.

        The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the above businesses from their respective dates of acquisition.

        On November 1, 2002, Inference Group LLC, our former asset management subsidiary, was reorganized. In connection with this reorganization, we sold 81% of Inference Group LLC to the Inference Group management team and retained a 19% minority ownership interest. This transaction did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In many instances, the application of such principles requires management to make estimates or to apply subjective principles to particular facts and circumstances. A change in the estimates or a variance in the application, or interpretation of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America could yield a materially different accounting result. Addressed below are the four policies where we believe that the estimations, judgments or interpretations that we made, if different, would have yielded the most significant differences in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, for a summary of all of our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting for Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangibles

        Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. For initial valuations, we retain valuation experts to provide us with independent fair value determinations of goodwill and other intangibles. In addition, we perform valuations based on internally developed models. Specifically, a number of different methods are used in estimating the fair value of acquired intangibles as well as testing goodwill and other intangibles for impairment. Such methods include the income approach and the market approach. Significant estimates and assumptions applied in these approaches include, but are not limited to, projection of future cash flows, the applicable discount rate, perpetual growth rates, and adjustments made to assess the characteristics and relative performance of similar assets.

        In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which became effective January 1, 2002, we discontinued the amortization of goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be assessed no less than annually for impairment. As of December 31, 2002, there was no impairment of goodwill. Other intangibles with definite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are assessed annually for impairment pursuant to

22



the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.

        We recorded amortization expense related to other intangibles of approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. We recorded amortization expense related to goodwill and other intangibles of $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Such amortization expense is classified as other general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2002, goodwill and other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, recorded in our consolidated statement of financial condition amounted to $78.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, goodwill and other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, recorded in our consolidated statement of financial condition amounted to $20.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

Capitalized Software

        Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, we capitalize software development costs where technological feasibility of a product has been established. Technological feasibility is established when we have completed all planning, designing, coding and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet design specifications. All costs incurred to establish technological feasibility are expensed as incurred as required by SFAS No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs.

        Costs that are capitalized relate to new customer products or significant innovations to an existing customer product. After technological feasibility has been established, we capitalize direct labor costs for specific tasks involving development and implementation activities. Such capitalized costs include an allocation of expenses incurred by our software development subsidiary including rent, depreciation, utilities, supplies and employee benefits. The capitalization process continues until the product is released to customers, at which point amortization begins.

        We are amortizing capitalized software costs using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life of the related product, the life of which is 24 months or less. The assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life of a product and changes in software and hardware technologies.

        In 2002, 2001 and 2000, other general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income included $2.4 million, $3.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in relation to the amortization of capitalized software costs. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, capitalized software, net of accumulated amortization, recorded in our consolidated statement of financial condition amounted to $6.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Soft Dollar Programs

        Pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act, we permit institutional customers to allocate a portion of their gross commissions to pay for research products and other services provided by third parties. The amounts so allocated for those purposes are commonly referred to as soft dollar arrangements. We are accounting for the cost of independent research and directed brokerage arrangements on an accrual basis. Commission revenue is recorded when earned on a trade date basis. Our accounting for commission revenues includes the guidance contained in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross versus Net, and accordingly, payments relating to soft dollars are netted against the commission revenues. Prepaid soft dollar research balances are included in Receivables from Brokers, Dealers and Other and accrued soft dollar research payable balances are classified as Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses in our

23



consolidated statements of financial condition. We continuously monitor our customer account balances and maintain an allowance for soft dollar advances which is comprised of a general reserve based on historical collections performance plus a specific reserve for certain known customer issues. If actual bad debts are greater than the reserves calculated based on historical trends and known customer issues, we may be required to record additional bad debt expense, which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the periods in which such additional expense would occur. Our gross soft dollar commission revenue was $52.5 million, $28.9 million and $24.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, prepaid soft dollar research and accrued soft dollar research payable balances recorded in our consolidated statement of financial condition amounted to $5.6 million (net of a $2.3 million allowance) and $20.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, prepaid soft dollar research and accrued soft dollar research payable balances recorded in our consolidated statement of financial condition were nil and $11.1 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

        SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

        We recorded income tax expense of $53.4 million, $57.2 million and $49.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, net deferred tax assets and income taxes payable recorded in our consolidated statement of financial condition amounted to $9.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, net deferred tax assets and income taxes payable recorded in our consolidated statement of financial condition amounted to $10.0 million and $24.1 million, respectively.

Results of Operations

Highlights

        We faced a very challenging economic environment in 2002 with low levels of institutional trading activity both in the U.S. and international markets. In order to align our infrastructure with expected levels of trading volume, we took actions to reduce our cost structure through the decision to terminate 72 employees in December 2002, representing 54 personnel in our U.S. Operations and 18 personnel in our International Operations. As a result of this reduction in our workforce, we recorded a $5.9 million pretax charge, or $0.08 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002, consisting of severance for the 72 employees and related costs.

        The year ended December 31, 2002 reflects a full year of operating results for ITG Europe and KTG following our acquisition of ITG Europe in May 2001 and KTG in September 2001. Additionally, the year ended December 31, 2002 also includes four months of Hoenig results, following its September 3, 2002 acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2002, ITG Europe generated $19.5 million of revenues and a $5.9 million loss before income taxes compared to revenues of $13.2 million and a loss before income taxes of $3.6 million for the period from May 2, 2001 to December 31, 2001. KTG generated $3.1 million of revenues and income before income taxes of $0.4 million in 2002 compared to revenues of $0.7 million and a $0.1 million loss before income taxes for the three months it was owned by us in 2001. Hoenig contributed $14.2 million of revenues and $1.3 of income before income taxes in 2002 following its September 3, 2002 acquisition.

24



        In 2002, we experienced a significant shift in product revenue mix. POSIT, which constituted 49.3% of total revenues in 2001, accounted for 40.0% of total revenues in 2002 while Electronic Trading Desk and Client Site Trading Products both increased. Most of the Electronic Trading Desk increase was due to the inclusion of Hoenig revenues, following its acquisition on September 3, 2002.

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001

Earnings Per Share

        Basic earnings per share for 2002 and 2001 were $1.52 and $1.65, respectively. Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.11, or 7%, from $1.62 to $1.51. Earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect a three-for-two stock split in December 2001. In 2001, our results included the effect of a gain, which approximated $0.04 per diluted share, relating to the sale of 100,000 shares of stock that ITG Europe held in the LSE. In December 2002, we recorded a restructuring charge, which approximated $0.08 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002, consisting of severance for 72 employees and related costs.

Revenues

        Consolidated revenues increased $10.2 million, or 3%, from $377.4 million to $387.6 million. Revenues from U.S. Operations decreased $5.0 million, or 1%, from $351.0 million to $346.0 million. Revenues from International Operations increased $15.2 million, or 58%, from $26.4 million to $41.6 million.

        There were 252 U.S. trading days in 2002 versus 248 U.S. trading days in 2001, reflecting the four-day closure of the U.S. financial markets from September 11 through September 14, 2001. Product Revenues per trading day from our U.S. Operations were $1.4 million for both 2002 and 2001. Our

25



total trading volume in the U.S. reached 24.1 billion shares (averaging 95.7 million per trading day) in 2002 as compared to 22.5 billion shares (averaging 90.8 million per trading day) in 2001. Excluding Hoenig, which was included in our results for four months, U.S. Product Revenues per average number of U.S. employees decreased $74,000, or 8%, from $874,000 to $800,000. In 2002, U.S. Product Revenues included $11.4 million relating to our Hoenig business, which also contributed 46 employees to the total U.S. headcount increase.

        In 2002, International Product Revenues included $18.4 million from our European business versus $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 primarily resulting from our May 2001 purchase of the remaining 50% ownership interest in ITG Europe that we did not already own. Product Revenues from our Canadian operations increased by $4.2 million, or 75%, from $5.6 million to $9.8 million showing continued growth despite weak market conditions. In Australia, we reported Product Revenues of $5.1 million in 2002 compared with $4.8 million in 2001. In Hong Kong, we reported Product Revenues of $1.7 million in 2002 primarily as a result of our September 2002 Hoenig acquisition. Our Hong Kong operations were in the very early stages of development in 2001 and began generating revenues in 2002.

        Consolidated POSIT revenues decreased $31.0 million, or 17%, as a result of lower U.S. share volume and a business mix where ITG customers directed more of their trades through our Client Site Trading Products. This was partially offset by increased revenues from our European POSIT business. The number of shares crossed on the U.S. POSIT system decreased approximately 1.5 billion, or 16%, from 9.2 billion in 2001 to 7.7 billion in 2002. In Europe, where our POSIT share volumes increased 85% in 2002 compared to 2001, commissions are calculated on the basis of the underlying contract value of transactions rather than on a per share basis. ITG Europe, which we began consolidating in May 2001, contributed $13.9 million to consolidated POSIT revenues in 2002 as compared to $8.2 million a year earlier. Consolidated POSIT revenues per trading day decreased by $135,000, or 18%, from $750,000 in 2001 to $615,000 in 2002. The average number of shares crossed on the U.S. POSIT system per trading day decreased 6.8 million, or 18%, from 37.3 million in 2001 to 30.5 million in 2002.

        In 2002, Electronic Trading Desk revenues increased $22.0 million, or 24%, as compared to the 2001 period. Our U.S. Electronic Trading Desk revenues increased $14.6 million, or 19%, of which Hoenig's U.S. business contributed $11.4 million following its acquisition on September 3, 2002. Our International Operations contributed $7.4 million of the total increase. Our Canadian Electronic Trading Desk business grew by $4.2 million and both our Australian and European Trading Desk business grew by $0.8 million. In addition, our Asian Trading Desk business contributed $1.6 million. Electronic Trading Desk revenues per trading day increased by $81,000, or 22%, from $362,000 in 2001 to $443,000 in 2002 primarily due to the acquisition of Hoenig.

        We sell various Electronic Trading Desk services as a package for program trading business. In this way, our clients receive blended pricing for executions through the Electronic Trading Desk and POSIT driven by our clients' desire to receive a single price for an entire portfolio of equity transactions regardless of the execution venue.

        Client Site Trading Products revenues increased $17.3 million, or 18%. Share volumes in the U.S. increased 29%, partially offset by a 9% decline in our rates per share. Client Site Trading Products revenues per trading day increased by $63,000, or 17%, from $379,000 in 2001 to $442,000 in 2002.

        Other revenues increased $1.9 million, or 25%, from $7.6 million to $9.5 million. In 2002, subscription revenues from our Canadian direct access provider, KTG, were $3.1 million (as compared to $0.7 million in the 2001 period following the September 28, 2001 acquisition of the KastenNet business of Kasten Chase). Market gains/losses and financing costs resulting from temporary positions in securities assumed in the normal course of our agency trading business increased $0.9 million, which was offset by a decline in our global investment income of $2.6 million due to interest rate declines in

26



2002. In 2001, we recognized a $2.4 million loss from a write-down of our venture capital investment in Angel Investors II, L.P., that was partially offset by a $1.2 million gain on the sale of our investment in Advanced Investment Technology, Inc. an asset management company.

Expenses

        The table below sets forth certain items in the statements of income and their variance over the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Income taxes     53,443     57,217   (3,774 ) (6.6 )

        Compensation and employee benefits:    Total compensation expense increased $10.7 million primarily due to (i) our acquisition of Hoenig (accounting for $5.9 million of the increase) combined with (ii) the impact of consolidating the results of ITG Europe for the full year 2002 (versus the eight months consolidated in 2001) and (iii) the launch of ITG Hong Kong in the second quarter 2002. This combined impact of ITG Europe and ITG Hong Kong was $5.0 million.

        U.S. compensation increased $3.3 million primarily from Hoenig's U.S. compensation costs of $5.0 million since September 3, 2002 reflecting additional headcount of 46 at December 31, 2002. Total U.S. headcount at December 31, 2002 was 451 compared to 431 at December 31, 2001 and reflects our headcount reduction in December 2002. The increase in compensation from the Hoenig acquisition was partially offset by decreases in variable bonuses and profit sharing, which are tied to our financial performance.

        Total international compensation increased $7.4 million primarily from the full year impact of ITG Europe from its date of consolidation in May 2001 and ITG Hong Kong operations (totaling $5.0 million) and the acquisition of Hoenig which contributed $0.9 million. The international headcount at December 31, 2002 was 184, which included 16 from Hoenig's non-U.S. operations.

        Transaction processing:    Consolidated transaction processing expenses increased slightly by $0.9 million from $49.5 million in 2001 to $50.4 million in 2002.

        U.S. transaction processing expenses declined by $3.0 million in 2002. We realized total savings of $7.0 million primarily from declines of 44% in ECN costs per share and the full year impact of clearing rate reductions obtained in 2001, offset by a 43% increase in share volumes executed through ECNs. U.S. transaction processing costs increased $4.0 million as a result of the inclusion of Hoenig since September 3, 2002 and an increase in charges for floor brokerage executions.

        International transaction processing costs increased $3.9 million in 2002 primarily from expenses associated with Hoenig's non-U.S. operations and the full year consolidation of ITG Europe (aggregating $3.0 million). In addition, ITG Canada's transaction processing costs increased $1.4 million on revenue growth of 75% over 2001.

27



        Software royalties:    Software royalties are contractually fixed as a percentage of POSIT revenues. Accordingly, declines in our POSIT revenues resulted in declines in software royalty expense.

        Occupancy and equipment:    Consolidated occupancy and equipment costs increased $7.4 million from $20.6 million in 2001 to $28.0 million in 2002.

        U.S. costs increased $4.5 million primarily from a $2.3 million loss of sublease income on certain facilities in New York and California (as short-term sub-leases expired during the year ended December 31, 2002), costs for occupying contingency space and a $1.8 million increase in depreciation and associated maintenance contracts on fixed asset purchases and related infrastructure upgrades.

        International costs increased $2.9 million primarily from the consolidation of ITG Europe since May 2001 and costs associated with our start-up operations in Hong Kong (accounting for $2.2 million).

        Telecommunications and data processing services:    Consolidated telecommunications and data processing services increased $2.4 million, or 16%, from $15.1 million in 2001 to $17.5 million in 2002.

        In the U.S., costs remained relatively unchanged in 2002 from 2001. Cost management controls resulted in reductions in telecommunications rates and usage charges, which were offset by the $0.6 million impact of the purchase of Hoenig.

        International costs increased $2.2 million reflecting the consolidation of ITG Europe for the entire current period, as well as the inclusion of expenses incurred by KTG in Canada and our start-up operation in Hong Kong.

        Net gain on long-term investments:    In 2001, we recognized a one time gain of $1.9 million through our ITG Europe joint venture relating to the sale of 100,000 shares of stock that ITG Europe held in the LSE, which were received at the time of the LSE demutualization in the year 2000. The reported gain on long-term investments of $0.3 million was net of our $1.6 million share of ITG Europe's operating loss prior to consolidation in May 2001. There were no such amounts reported in 2002.

        Restructuring charges:    In order to align our infrastructure with expected levels of trading volume, we took actions to reduce our cost structure through the decision to terminate 72 employees in December 2002, including 54 personnel employed in our U.S. Operations and 18 personnel employed in our International Operations. As a result of this decision, we recorded a $5.9 million pretax charge consisting of severance for the 72 employees. There were no such charges in 2001.

        Other general and administrative:    Consolidated general and administrative costs decreased $4.4 million in 2002 primarily from the following U.S. costs: (i) a $2.2 million decrease in bad debt provisions resulting from collection efforts and the reversal of the receivable provision related to the events of September 11, 2001, as the related accounts have been fully collected, (ii) a $1.4 million decrease in amortization of capitalized software costs due to timing of new product launches, and (iii) $1.1 million in charitable contributions made in September 2001 to the New York Times 9/11 Neediest Fund. These cost benefits were partially offset by increases in certain corporate insurance premiums and the consolidation of Hoenig following its acquisition in September 2002.

Income Tax Expense

        The effective tax rate remained at 42.0% in 2002 as compared to 2001 reflecting an increase in the utilization of certain U.S. Federal and State credits, offset by an increase in non-deductible foreign losses. Our effective tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings.

Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000

Earnings Per Share

        Basic earnings per share for 2001 and 2000 were $1.65 and $1.37, respectively. Diluted earnings per share increased $0.28, or 21%, from $1.34 to $1.62. In 2001, our results included the effect of a gain, which approximated $0.04 per diluted share, relating to the sale of 100,000 shares of stock that ITG Europe held in the LSE. Earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect a three-for-two stock split in December 2001.

Revenues

        Total revenues increased $67.0 million, or 22%, from $310.4 million to $377.4 million. Revenues from U.S. operations increased $44.2 million, or 14%, from $306.8 million to $351.0 million. Revenues from international operations increased seven fold or $22.8 million from $3.6 million to $26.4 million. There were 248 U.S. trading days in 2001 and 252 U.S. trading days in 2000, reflecting the four-day closure of the U.S. financial markets from September 11 through September 14, 2001. Revenues per trading day increased by $290,000, or 24%, from $1,232,000 to $1,522,000. Consolidated revenues per average number of employees decreased $123,000, or 15%, from $843,000 to $720,000, due to a total headcount increase of 145 primarily resulting from our consolidation of ITG Australia in November 2000 and ITG Europe in May 2001 as well as the start-up of ITG Canada in the second quarter of 2000. U.S. revenues per average number of employees decreased $38,000, or 4%, from $912,000 to $874,000. The increase in headcount outpaced the increase in revenues from international operations as ITG Europe and ITG Canada are still in their early stage of development.

        Consolidated POSIT revenues increased $31.5 million or 20% reflecting higher share volume and the consolidation of ITG Australia and ITG Europe included in 2001. ITG Europe contributed $8.2 million and ITG Australia contributed $1.3 million to consolidated POSIT revenues in 2001. International POSIT revenues included in the consolidated financial statements in 2000 amounted to $0.1 million. The number of shares crossed on the U.S. POSIT system increased 1.39 billion, or 18%, from 7.86 billion in 2000 to 9.25 billion in 2001. The number of shares crossed on the U.S. POSIT system per trading day increased 6.2 million, or 20%, from 31.1 million in 2000 to 37.3 million in 2001.

        Electronic Trading Desk revenues increased 34% due to both an increase in U.S. share volume in 2001 and the inclusion of $12.9 million of revenues from ITG Australia, ITG Canada and ITG Europe for which only $497,000 of revenues were reported in 2000.

        Client Site revenues increased 23% resulting from a 68% increase in share volume in 2001, partially offset by a 27% decrease in average Client Site revenue per share. The decrease in average Client Site revenue per share reflects, in part, growth in our lower priced routing only services, where we do not incur transaction processing costs.

        Other revenues decreased 41% primarily as a result of the gain of $4.3 million, or 84% of the decrease, recognized in 2000, from the sale of our investment in Versus Technologies, Inc. Also contributing to the decrease was a reduction of $3.1 million, from $4.5 million in 2000 to $1.4 million in 2001, in connection with fees for development and other services provided to our unconsolidated international affiliates, prior to our acquisition of the remaining interests in ITG Australia and ITG Europe, and a $2.4 million writedown on our venture capital investment in the Angel Investors II, L.P. fund as a result of a decrease in fair value. This was partially offset by (i) an increase in interest and investment income as a result of higher average invested balances partially offset by a decrease in average interest rates, (ii) a $1.2 million gain on the sale of our investment in Advanced Investment Technology, Inc., an asset management company, and (iii) inclusion of revenues from KTG of $0.7 million (following the September 28, 2001 acquisition of the KastenNet business of Kasten Chase).

Expenses

        Total expenses excluding income tax expense for 2001 increased $43.9 million, or 22%, from $197.4 million to $241.3 million.

        The following table itemizes expenses by category (in thousands):

Income taxes     57,217     49,403     7,814   15.8  

        Compensation and employee benefits:    Salaries, bonuses and related employee benefits increased primarily due to growth in our employee base of 145 employees or 33% from 443 at December 31, 2000 to 588 at December 31, 2001. A total of 63 employees, or approximately 43% of the increase, related to the consolidation of ITG Europe, and the addition of employees arising from the KastenNet acquisition and the start-up of our operation in Hong Kong. Additionally, 35% percent of the increase related to new staff in technology, product development, sales and trading and production infrastructure. Total compensation and employee benefits as a percentage of revenues increased from 24.9% in 2000 to 27.5% in 2001. This 2.6% increase is mainly attributable to the consolidation of the international operations, primarily the operations of ITG Europe and ITG Canada which are still at an early stage of their lifecycle, while the U.S. percentage increased primarily due to four fewer trading days during 2001. Average compensation and employee benefits expenses per (average) headcount decreased $12,000, or 6%, from $210,000 to $198,000.

        Transaction processing:    Transaction processing as a percentage of revenues decreased from 14.2% to 13.1%. This includes transaction costs incurred by ITG Australia, ITG Canada and ITG Europe that were not included in 2000. U.S. transaction costs as a percentage of revenues decreased from 14.3% in 2000 to 12.8% in 2001. Despite our share volume growth, U.S. clearing and execution costs as a percentage of revenues declined primarily from rate reductions negotiated with our clearing vendor. This was partially offset by ECN execution costs which, in the U.S., increased $4.2 million or 43% from $9.8 million in 2000 to $14.0 million in 2001 reflecting higher ECN volume, which more than doubled from 2000. The impact of higher ECN execution volume was partially offset by significant cost savings achieved through rate reductions and from a higher share of executions being made through lower unit cost ECN providers.

        Software royalties:    Because software royalties are contractually fixed as a percentage of POSIT revenues, the increase is entirely attributable to an increase in POSIT revenues.

        Occupancy and equipment:    Depreciation and amortization on furniture, fixtures and equipment, and office rent were the main contributors to the $3.7 million increase in 2001 compared to 2000. The international operations accounted for $2.2 million, or 59% of the increase, following the opening of additional offices in June 2000 in Toronto, Canada and the inclusion of space utilized by ITG Australia and ITG Europe subsequent to consolidation of these entities in November 2000 and May 2001,

30



respectively. The U.S. operations represented $1.5 million, or 41% of the increase, primarily from incremental depreciation and amortization, U.S. headcount increases and upgrades of infrastructure.

        Telecommunications and data processing services:    Telecommunications and data processing services as a percentage of revenues remained flat at 4.0%. The additional costs were due to the inclusion of ITG Australia, ITG Canada and ITG Europe, which had only an immaterial impact in 2000. ITG Canada's operations began in June 2000, and ITG Australia and ITG Europe were consolidated in November 2000 and May 2001, respectively.

        Net loss on long-term investments:    In 2001, we recognized a gain of $1.9 million through our ITG Europe joint venture relating to the sale of 100,000 shares of stock that ITG Europe held in the LSE which were received at the time of the LSE demutualization in the year 2000. The reported gain on long-term investments of $0.3 million was net of our $1.6 million share of ITG Europe's operating loss prior to consolidation in May 2001. In 2000, we recognized a loss on long-term investments primarily resulting from the start-up costs of our Vostock joint venture with SoundView Technology Group, Inc. combined with losses on our ITG Europe joint venture relating to the development and marketing costs of our European expansion. Vostock was developed to provide an on-line auction market for secondary share offerings to supplement the traditional distribution methods for secondary offerings. The Vostock product was never launched and we and SoundView have ceased our expenditures on Vostock.

        Other general and administrative:    The increase in other general and administrative expenses reflects a $2.0 million increase in consulting fees for software development initiatives, the addition of $2.5 million of costs incurred by ITG Australia, ITG Canada, ITG Europe and ITG Hong Kong, as well as a $0.5 million increase in software amortization for certain products that were released in the fourth quarter of 2000. In 2001, we made a charitable contribution to the New York Times 9/11 Neediest Fund in the amount of $1.1 million following the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Income Tax Expense

        The decrease in the effective tax rate from 43.7% in 2000 to 42.0% in 2001 was primarily due to decreases in state and local income taxes.

Dependence on Major Customers

        During 2002, revenue from our 10 largest customers accounted for approximately 26.8% of our consolidated revenue while revenue from each of our three largest customers accounted for 4.4%, 3.8%, and 3.4%, respectively, of consolidated revenue. During 2001, revenue from our 10 largest customers accounted for approximately 29.6% of our consolidated revenue while revenue from each of our three largest customers accounted for 4.8%, 4.6%, and 3.9%, respectively, of consolidated revenue. During 2000, revenue from our 10 largest customers accounted for approximately 31.4% of our consolidated revenue while revenue from each of our three largest customers accounted for 6.4%, 5.1%, and 4.5%, respectively, of consolidated revenue. Customers may discontinue use of our services at any time. The loss of any significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, the loss of significant POSIT customers could result in lower share volumes of securities submitted to POSIT systems around the world, which may adversely affect the liquidity of the systems, reducing their attractiveness to our customers and adversely affect our trading volumes, operating results and financial condition.

31


Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our liquidity and capital resource requirements result from our working capital needs, primarily consisting of compensation and benefits, transaction processing fees and software royalty fees. Historically, cash from operations has met all working capital requirements. We believe that our cash flow from operations and existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements.

        A substantial portion of our assets are liquid, consisting of cash and cash equivalents or assets readily convertible into cash. We generally invest our excess cash in money market funds and other short-term investments that generally mature within 90 days or less. Additionally, securities owned at fair value include highly liquid, variable state and municipal obligations, auction rate preferred stock, U.S. treasury securities, mutual fund investments, common stock and warrants. At December 31, 2002, cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, at fair value amounted to $266.6 million and net receivables from brokers, dealers and other, of $150.0 million were due within 30 days.

        We also invest a portion of our excess cash balances in cash enhanced strategies, which we believe should yield higher returns without any significant effect on risk. As of December 31, 2002, we had investments in limited partnerships totaling $26.1 million, of which $26.0 million were invested in marketable securities and $0.1 million were invested in a venture capital fund. The limited partnerships employ either a hedged convertible strategy or a long/short strategy in an effort to capitalize on short term price movements.

        For the year ended December 31, 2002, cash flows from operating activities were $80.0 million, a $45.2 million decrease from the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) our September 15, 2001 estimated Federal income tax payment, which was not paid until January 2002 in accordance with the tax relief provided by the U.S. government to counties affected by the events of September 11, 2001, (ii) the reduction in net income and (iii) other changes in working capital. Net cash used in investing activities was $83.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, a $39.4 million increase in our use of cash from the same period a year earlier, primarily as a result of (i) our September 2002 acquisition of Hoenig for $66.3 million, net of the cash amount on Hoenig's balance sheet at the acquisition date, offset by (ii) our May 2001 acquisition of the 50% of ITG Europe we did not already own and our September 2001 acquisition of KTG for $17.8 million in the aggregate, net of the cash amount on their balance sheet at their respective acquisition date, and (iii) our 2001 investment in limited partnerships for $11.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $44.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, an additional $65.2 million use of cash compared to the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting purchases of our common stock for $63.7 million as part of our share repurchase program.

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, cash flows from operating activities were $125.2 million, an increase of $28.6 million from the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the growth in net income and other changes in working capital, partially offset by the decrease in the tax benefit from employee stock options, reflecting the exercise by employees of stock options with higher strike prices. Net cash used in investing activities was $44.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $22.4 million from the prior year. This increase is primarily related to the $17.8 million purchases of (i) the remaining 50% stake in the ITG Europe joint venture and (ii) the assets of KastenNet via KTG Technologies Corp. in Canada, net of cash acquired. In 2001, the Company also invested $11.0 million in limited partnerships. Net cash provided by financing activities was $20.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $12.7 million from the prior year when the Company purchased $9.7 million worth of its common stock as part of the Company's share repurchase program.

        As part of our share repurchase program, our Board of Directors authorizes management to use its discretion to purchase an agreed-upon maximum number of shares of common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we

32



purchased approximately 2.0 million shares of our common stock at an average cost of $31.75 per share and for $63.7 million in the aggregate. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2002, we were authorized to repurchase up to approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock. In January and February 2003, we purchased approximately 388,000 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $16.52 per share for $6.4 million in the aggregate. The purchases are funded from our available cash resources. The share repurchase program may be suspended at any time.

        Historically, all regulatory capital needs of ITG Inc., AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. have been provided by cash from operations. We believe that cash flows from operations will provide ITG Inc., AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. with sufficient regulatory capital. At December 31, 2002, ITG Inc., AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. had net capital of $86.3 million, $3.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of which $86.0 million, $3.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, was in excess of required net capital. In addition, our Canadian, Australian, European and Asian operations had regulatory capital in excess of the minimum requirements applicable to each business as of December 31, 2002 of approximately $6.8 million, $2.7 million, $12.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Although we believe that the combination of our existing net regulatory capital and operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet regulatory capital requirements, a shortfall in net regulatory capital would have a material adverse effect on us. We do not currently maintain any credit facilities in the event of a regulatory capital shortfall.

        As of December 31, 2002, Hoenig & Co., Inc. held a $3.8 million cash balance in a segregated bank account for the benefit of customers under certain directed brokerage arrangements. In addition, Hoenig & Co., Inc. computes a deposit due on any fail to receive/deliver for foreign securities of their customers transacted through its foreign affiliates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        In the normal course of business, we are involved in the execution of various customer securities transactions. Securities transactions are subject to the credit risk of counterparties or customer nonperformance. In connection with the settlement of non-U.S. securities transactions, Investment Technology Group, Inc. has provided third party financial institutions with guarantees in amounts up to a maximum of $127.0 million. In the event that a customer of ITG's subsidiaries fails to settle a securities transaction or if the related ITG's subsidiaries were unable to honor trades with a customer, Investment Technology Group, Inc. would be required to perform for the amount of such securities up to the $127.0 million cap. However, transactions are collateralized by the underlying security, thereby reducing the associated risk to changes in the market value of the security through settlement date. Therefore, the settlement of these transactions is not expected to have a material effect upon our financial statements. It is also our policy to review, as necessary, the credit worthiness of each counterparty and customer.

33



Aggregate Contractual Obligations

        As of December 31, 2002, our contractual obligations and other commercial commitments amounted to $66.0 million in the aggregate and consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 in the first quarter of 2003 is not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

        In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of SFAS No. 123. This Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. As of December 31, 2002, we account for stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as permitted by SFAS No. 123. In accordance with APB No. 25, compensation expense is not recognized for stock options that have no intrinsic value on the date of grant. Effective in fiscal 2003, we will begin to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair-value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, using the prospective adoption method. Under this method of adoption, compensation expense will be recognized based on the fair value of stock options and/or restricted stock units granted for fiscal 2003 and future years over the related service period. The amount of stock-based compensation to be recognized under SFAS No. 123 in fiscal 2003 and beyond is not currently determinable because the number and value of stock options and/or restricted stock units to be granted to employees in the future is not yet known, nor are the related future service provisions.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirement for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. This Interpretation clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, relating to the guarantor's accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. See above discussion of Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations.

        In January 2003, the FASB also issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which applies immediately to variable interest entities (such as trusts, limited partnerships and limited liability companies) created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. Interpretation No. 46 requires the identification of variable interest entities and the assessment of interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. Variable interest entities are identified by reviewing our equity investments at risk, our ability to make decisions about the entity's activities and the obligation to absorb the entity's losses or right to receive expected residual results. We are currently assessing each entity with which we are associated. We have limited partnership interests in several limited partnerships and an equity interest in the POSIT joint venture, which is not currently consolidated. We do not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 46 to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Issues and Uncertainties

        While our management's long-term expectations are optimistic, the following issues and uncertainties, among others, should be considered in evaluating our growth outlook.

35



Financial Market Conditions and Economic Conditions

        Over the last year, the financial markets in the U.S. and elsewhere have exhibited increased volatility and many worldwide financial indices have continued to decline. Our business is materially affected by conditions in both domestic and foreign financial markets. We anticipate a continuation of weak institutional trading volumes in 2003 and have seen January and February 2003 volumes tracking lower than those achieved in the fourth quarter of 2002. The demand for our securities brokerage and related services are also directly affected by factors such as economic and political conditions that may lead to decreased trading activity and prices in the securities markets generally. The future economic environment may be subject to periodic economic downturns, such as recessions, as well as geopolitical unrest, which could also result in reduced trading volumes and prices, which could materially harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Decreases in Trading Volumes or Market Prices

        Declines in the volume of securities trading and in market liquidity generally result in lower revenues from our POSIT, Client Site and Electronic Trading Desk products. In addition, our trading commissions outside the U.S. and Canada are based on the value of transactions (rather than volume based), which would be adversely affected by price declines. Our profitability would be adversely affected by a decline in trading revenues because a significant portion of our costs are fixed. For these reasons, decreases in trading volume or securities prices could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Regulation

        The securities markets and the brokerage industry in which we operate are subject to extensive regulation in the United States and other jurisdictions around the world. We face the risk of significant intervention by regulatory authorities in all jurisdictions in which we conduct business. In our case, the impact of regulation extends beyond "traditional" areas of securities regulation, such as disclosure and prohibitions on fraud and manipulation by market participants, to the regulation of the structure of markets.

        The securities industry has been subject to several fundamental regulatory changes. In the future, the industry may become subject to new regulations or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing regulations, which may adversely affect our business. The markets for equity securities have been subject to the most significant regulatory changes. We cannot predict the extent to which any future regulatory changes can affect our business.

        Before Regulation ATS went into effect on April 21, 1999, we operated POSIT pursuant to a "no-action" letter from the SEC staff which stated that it would not commence an enforcement action if POSIT were operated without registering as an exchange. We are currently operating POSIT, TriAct and SmartServers as part of our broker-dealer operations in accordance with Regulation ATS. Accordingly, none of POSIT, TriAct or SmartServers are registered with the SEC as an exchange. There can be no assurance that the SEC will not in the future seek to impose more stringent regulatory requirements on the operation of alternative trading systems such as POSIT, TriAct and SmartServers. There can be no assurance that Congress will not enact additional legislation applicable to alternative trading systems.

36


        Each of our broker-dealer subsidiaries is subject to regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate. The failure by any of these subsidiaries to maintain its required regulatory capital may lead to suspension or revocation of its broker-dealer registration and its suspension or expulsion by U.S. or international regulatory bodies, and ultimately could require its liquidation. We do not currently maintain any credit facilities in the event of a regulatory capital shortfall.

Competition

        The financial services industry generally, and the securities brokerage business in which we engage in particular, is extremely competitive, and we expect it to remain so. The brokerage and related services offered by us compete with services provided by leading brokerage firms and transaction processing firms and with providers of electronic trading and trade order management systems and financial information services. POSIT also competes with various national and regional securities exchanges and execution facilities, the Nasdaq National Market, ATSs and ECNs for trade execution services. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources. Many of them offer a wider range of services, have broader name recognition and have larger customer bases than we do. Outside the United States, in addition to our U.S. competitors with international capabilities, we compete with non-U.S. financial service companies that may also have long-standing, well-established relations with their clients, some of which also hold dominant positions in their trading markets. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including access to liquidity, transaction execution, our products and services, innovation, reputation and price.

Insufficient System Capacity or System Failures

        Our business relies heavily on the computer and communications systems supporting our operations. Peak trading times and times of unusual market volatility could cause our systems to operate slowly or even fail for periods of time. General power or telecommunications failures or natural disasters could cause blackouts in our systems. The presence of computer viruses can also cause failure of our systems. As our business expands, we will need to expand our systems to accommodate an increasing volume of transactions. If any of our systems do not operate properly or are disabled, we could incur financial loss, liability to clients, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. System failure or degradation could lead our customers to file formal complaints with industry regulatory organizations, initiate regulatory inquiries or proceedings, file lawsuits against us, trade less frequently through us or cease doing business with us.

Rapid Changes in Technology

        Due to the high demand for technology-based services in the securities industry, we are subject to rapid technological change and evolving industry standards. Also, customer demands become greater and more sophisticated as the dissemination of information to customers increases. If we are unable to anticipate and respond to the demand for new services, products and technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner and to adapt to the technological advancements and changing standards, we will be less able to compete effectively, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Credit Risk

        We are exposed to credit risk from third parties that owe us money, securities, or other obligations, including our customers and trading counterparties. These parties may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons. Substantially all of the clearing and depository operations for our broker-dealer subsidiaries are performed pursuant

37



to clearing agreements with their clearing brokers, who review the credit risk of trading counterparties, as deemed necessary. Volatile securities markets, credit markets and regulatory changes increase our exposure to credit risk, which could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

License and Relationship with Barra

        We have a perpetual license with the POSIT joint venture, which is a joint venture we have with Barra. The license grants ITG Inc. the exclusive right to use certain proprietary software necessary to the continued operation of POSIT in the U.S. and a non-exclusive license to use proprietary software that operates in conjunction with POSIT. The license agreement permits Barra on behalf of the joint venture to terminate the agreement upon certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency or upon an uncured breach by ITG Inc. of certain covenants the performance of which are all within our control. Although we do not believe that we will experience difficulty in complying with our obligations under the license agreement, any termination of the license agreement resulting from an uncured default would have a material adverse effect on us. The POSIT joint venture also licensed to ITG Australia Limited, ITG Europe and ITG Hong Kong the right to use the POSIT technology for crossing Australian, European and Asian equity securities. These licenses contain substantially the same default and termination provisions as the U.S. license.

Infrastructure and Research

        In connection with our research and product development activities, as well as capital expenditures to improve other aspects of our business, we incur substantial expenses that do not vary directly, at least in the short term, with fluctuations in securities transaction volumes and revenues. In the event of a material reduction in revenues, we may not be able to reduce such expenses quickly and, as a result, we could experience reduced profitability or losses. Conversely, sudden surges in transaction volumes can result in increased profit and profit margin. To ensure that we have the capacity to process projected increases in transaction volumes, we have historically made substantial capital and operating expenditures in advance of such projected increases, including during periods of low transaction volumes. In the event that such growth in transaction volumes does not occur, the expenses related to such investments could cause reduced profitability or losses.

Changes in Our Customer Base

        Changes in our customer base (which includes institutional investors, portfolio managers, hedge funds and broker-dealers) can materially affect our profitability and net income. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from our 10 largest customers. The loss of any significant customer could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, the loss of significant POSIT customers or a significant reduction in liquidity provided by a customer could result in lower share volumes of securities submitted to POSIT systems around the world, which may adversely affect the liquidity of the systems, reducing their attractiveness to our customers and adversely affect our trading volumes, operating results and financial condition.

Dependence on Third Party Suppliers for Key Services

        We depend on a number of third parties to supply elements of our trading systems, computers and other equipment, and related support and maintenance. We cannot be certain that any of these providers will be able to continue to provide these services in an efficient and cost-effective manner or that they will be able to meet our expanding needs. If we are unable to make alternative arrangements for the supply of these services in the event of a disruption in the services, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially harmed.

38


Risks of Infringement of our Intellectual Property Rights

        We rely upon patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets to establish and protect our rights in our proprietary technology, methods and products. However, a third party may still try to challenge, invalidate or circumvent the mechanisms we select to protect our rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S.

        In the past several years, there has been a proliferation of so-called "business method patents" applicable to the computer and financial services industries. Under current law, U.S. patent applications remain secret for 18 months and may, depending upon where else such applications are filed, remain secret until issuance of a patent. Thus it is not economically practicable to determine in advance whether our products or services may infringe the present or future patent rights of others. There can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our technology from disclosure or that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology. It is likely that from time to time we may also face claims that use of technology material to our business operations infringes on rights of third parties or we may be called upon to defend a joint venture partner, customer or licensee against such third party claims, which could consume valuable time, result in costly litigation or cause delays, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

        Market risk refers to the potential for adverse changes in the value of a company's financial instruments as a result of changes in market conditions. We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices to the extent we own such instruments in our portfolio. We do not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. We continually evaluate our exposure to market risk and oversee the establishment of policies, procedures and controls to ensure that market risks are identified and analyzed on an ongoing basis.

        We have performed sensitivity analyses on different tests of market risk as described in the following sections to estimate the impacts of a hypothetical change in market conditions on the fair value of securities owned and the U.S. dollar value of non-U.S. dollar-based revenues associated with our international operations. Estimated potential losses assume the occurrence of certain adverse market conditions. Such estimates do not consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market factors and also do not represent management's expectations of projected losses in fair value. We do not foresee any significant changes in the strategies used to manage interest rate risk, foreign currency risk or equity price risk in the near future.

Interest Rate Risk

        Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to interest-sensitive financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest-sensitive financial instruments will decline in value if interest rates increase. Our interest-bearing investment portfolio primarily consists of short-term, high-credit quality money market funds, highly liquid variable rate municipal securities, auction rate preferred stock and treasury notes. The aggregate fair market value of our portfolio was $197.5 million and $246.2 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Our interest-bearing investments are not insured and because of the short-term high quality nature of the investments are not likely to fluctuate significantly in market value. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, we estimated that a hypothetical 100 basis point adverse change in interest rates would have resulted in a $2.5 million, $2.3 million and $1.3 million decline in the fair value of our portfolio, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk

        We are seeking to expand globally in a variety of ways, including through our operations in Canada, Australia, Europe and Hong Kong, and through the development of specially tailored versions of our services. Additionally, we maintain development facilities in Israel. Our investments and development activities in these countries expose us to currency exchange rate fluctuations between the

38


U.S. Dollar and the British Pound Sterling, Euro, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar and Israeli New Shekel. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against these currencies, the U.S. dollar value of non-U.S. dollar-based revenue decreases. To the extent that our international activities recorded in local currencies increase in the future, our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates will correspondingly increase. We have not engaged in derivative financial instruments as a means of hedging this risk. Non-U.S. dollar cash balances held overseas are generally kept at levels necessary to meet current operating and capitalization needs.

        Approximately 11.0%, 7.0% and 1.2% of our revenues as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, we estimated that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have resulted in a $4.2 million, $2.6 million and $0.4 million loss in revenue from our international operations, respectively, and further deterioration in net losses of $1.1 million, $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Equity Price Risk

        Equity price risk results from exposure to changes in the prices of equity securities. As part of our full service equity trade execution business we do not engage in proprietary trading; however, at times we do hold positions overnight due to client or Company errors. Equity price risk can arise from liquidating such positions. Accordingly, we maintain policies and procedures regarding the management of our errors and accommodations proprietary trading accounts. It is our policy to attempt to trade out of all positions arising from errors and accommodations immediately while balancing our exposure to market risk. Certain positions may therefore be liquidated over a period of time in an effort to minimize market impact.

        We manage equity price risk associated with open positions through the establishment and monitoring of trading policies and through controls and review procedures that ensure communication and timely resolution of trading issues. Our operations department reviews all open trades intraday in an effort to ensure that any open issues are addressed and resolved by the close of the trading day. Additionally, our clearing broker notifies us of all known trade discrepancies on the day following the trade date. We have also established approval policies that include review by a Supervisory Principal of any proprietary trading activity.

        Our cash management strategy seeks to optimize excess liquid assets by preserving principal, maintaining liquidity to satisfy capital requirements, minimizing risk and maximizing our after tax rate of return. Our policy is to invest in high quality credit issuers, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and invest in tax efficient strategies. Our first priority is to reduce the risk of principal loss. We seek to preserve our invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk, and re-investment risk. We attempt to mitigate default risk by investing in high quality credit securities that we believe to be low risk and by positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to reductions in the credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor that we believe is adverse to our investment strategy.

        For working capital purposes, we invest only in money market instruments. Cash balances that are not needed for normal operations are invested in a tax efficient manner in instruments with appropriate maturities and levels of risk to correspond to expected liquidity needs. We currently have investments in municipal bonds, auction rate preferred bonds and, to a lesser extent, common stock. To the extent that we invest in marketable equity securities, we ensure portfolio liquidity by investing in marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, our cash and cash equivalents and securities owned were approximately $266.6 million and $299.4 million, respectively.

        Our investments in limited partnership funds require approval of executive management and/or the board of directors. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, investments in limited partnerships investing in marketable securities and a venture capital fund were approximately $26.1 million and $25.6 million, respectively.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Investment Technology Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of results. Certain reclassifications and format changes have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

        During December 2001, outstanding shares of common stock were split three-for-two. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect

46



the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        We have defined cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than ninety days, which are part of our cash management activities. Included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2002, is approximately $3.8 million held in a segregated bank account by Hoenig & Co., Inc. relating to payments to be made under directed brokerage arrangements. In addition, Hoenig & Co., Inc. computes a deposit due on any fail to receive/deliver for foreign securities of their customers transacted through its foreign affiliates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        Substantially all of our financial instruments are carried at fair value or amounts approximating fair value. Cash and cash equivalents, securities owned, investments in limited partnerships and certain receivables are carried at estimated fair value or contracted amounts which approximate fair value due to the short period to maturity and repricing characteristics. Similarly, liabilities are carried at amounts approximating fair value. Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased are valued at quoted market prices.

Securities Transactions

        Revenues primarily consist of commissions from customers' use of our trade execution and analytical services. We record as POSIT revenue any order that is executed in the POSIT system regardless of the manner in which the order was submitted to POSIT, as well as orders executed in TriAct and through our SmartServers. We collect a commission from each side of a trade matched in POSIT or TriAct. We collect commissions from all orders executed through our SmartServers. We record as Electronic Trading Desk revenue any order that is handled by our trading desk personnel and executed at any trade execution destination other than POSIT, TriAct and SmartServers. We record as Client Site revenue any order that is sent by our clients, through our front-end systems but without assistance from the Electronic Trading Desk, to any trade execution destination other than POSIT, TriAct and SmartServers. Other revenue includes (i) a gain recorded on the sale of our remaining investment in Versus Technologies, Inc. in 2000, (ii) interest and investment income, (iii) a gain on the sale of our investment in Advanced Investment Technology, Inc. in 2001, (iv) subscription revenues from KTG (following our September 28, 2001 acquisition) and (v) international development fee income and other services prior to our acquisition of the remaining interest in ITG Australia and ITG Europe, which were partially offset by (i) interest costs incurred on accelerated settlement of transactions in the normal course of business and (ii) a writedown on our venture capital investment in the Angel Investors II, L.P. fund as a result of a decrease in fair value in 2001.

        Receivables from brokers, dealers and other, net consist of commissions receivable and amounts receivable for securities transactions that have not yet reached their contractual settlement date, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is determined based upon management's estimate of the collectibility of such receivables. Transactions in securities, commission revenues and related expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Company clears all securities transactions through other broker-dealers on a fully disclosed basis.

47



        Securities owned, at fair value consist primarily of highly liquid, variable rate state and municipal government obligations, variable rate auction rate preferred stock, common stock and warrants. Securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value consist of common stock. Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased are carried at quoted market prices with unrealized gains and losses included in other revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

        Investments in limited partnerships consist of investments in hedge funds investing primarily in marketable securities and a venture capital fund. These investments in limited partnerships do not have readily available price quotations. These investments are accounted for under the equity method, which approximates fair value, or at the fair value as estimated by management. In determining the estimated fair value, we considered all appropriate factors relevant to such investments and consistently apply the procedures for arriving at estimated fair value. However, because of the assumptions inherent to estimate fair value, actual fair value could differ from the estimated fair value as determined by management. Gains and losses for changes in fair value and other than temporary impairments are included in other revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

        In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") also issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which applies immediately to variable interest entities (such as trusts, limited partnerships and limited liability companies) created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. Interpretation No. 46 requires the identification of variable interest entities and the assessment of interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. Variable interest entities are identified by reviewing our equity investments at risk, our ability to make decisions about the entity's activities and the obligation to absorb the entity's losses or right to receive expected residual results. We are currently assessing each entity with which we are associated. We have limited partnership interests in several limited partnerships and an equity interest in the POSIT joint venture, which is not currently consolidated. We do not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 46 to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Soft Dollar Programs

        Pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we permit institutional customers to allocate a portion of their gross commissions to pay for research products and other services provided by third parties. The amounts so allocated for those purposes are commonly referred to as soft dollar arrangements. We present soft dollar revenues net of the corresponding third party research costs. Our gross soft dollar commission revenue was $52.5 million, $28.9 million and $24.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, prepaid soft dollar research and accrued soft dollar research payables amounted to $5.6 million (net of a $2.3 million allowance) and $20.9 million and are included in receivables from brokers, dealers and other, net and accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated statement of financial condition, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, prepaid soft dollar research and accrued soft dollar research payables were nil and $11.1 million, respectively. Our accounting for commission revenues includes the guidance contained in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross versus Net, and accordingly, payments relating to soft dollars are netted against the commission revenues.

48



Capitalized Software

        Pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, we capitalize software development costs where technological feasibility of a product has been established. Technological feasibility is established when we have completed all planning, designing, coding and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet design specifications. The assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies. We are amortizing capitalized software costs using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life, which is 24 months or less. Amortization begins when the product is available for release to customers. Amortization of software development costs is included in other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

Research and Development

        All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were $23.0 million, $19.7 million and $16.5 million for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

        In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which became effective January 1, 2002, we discontinued the amortization of goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be assessed no less than annually for impairment. As of December 31, 2002, there was no impairment of goodwill. Other intangibles with definite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are assessed annually for impairment pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.

Premises and Equipment

        Premises and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally three to five years). Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the non-cancelable lease term.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        Long-lived assets, including premises and equipment, are periodically reviewed for impairment by comparing undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets with recorded balances. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss, if determined to be necessary, would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

49



Income Taxes

        Income taxes are accounted for on the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

Earnings per Share

        Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing earnings by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding, while diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing earnings by the average number of shares of common stock adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.

        Earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect our three-for-two stock split in December 2001.

Stock-Based Compensation

        As of December 31, 2002, we account for stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In accordance with APB No. 25, compensation expense is not recognized for stock options that have no intrinsic value on the date of grant. Effective in fiscal 2003, we will begin to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair-value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, using the prospective adoption method. Under this method of adoption, compensation expense will be recognized based on the fair value of stock options and/or restricted stock units granted for fiscal 2003 and future years over the related service period. The amount of stock-based compensation to be recognized under SFAS No. 123 in fiscal 2003 and beyond is not currently determinable because the number and value of stock options and/or restricted stock units to be granted to employees in the future is not yet known, nor are the related future service provisions.

50



        Had compensation cost for our stock option plan been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, our net income and earnings per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

 
   
  2002
  2001
  2000
Net income   As reported   $ 73,810   $ 78,895   $ 63,593

        The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively: zero dividend yield for all years; risk free interest rates of 3.0, 4.6, and 6.3 percent, respectively; expected volatility of 42, 47, and 50 percent, respectively; and expected lives of 4.25, 5.00 and 5.00 years, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

        Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the statement of financial condition, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the fiscal year. Gains or losses on translation of the financial statements of a foreign operation, where the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in our stockholders' equity. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions are included in other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

(3) Acquisitions

ITG Australia

        In November 2000, we completed the purchase from Burdett, Buckeridge & Young and certain employees of ITG Australia Limited of the remaining 50% interest in ITG Australia Limited that we did not already own, bringing our ownership up to 100%. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The $5.0 million cost exceeded the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired by $3.7 million. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill.

ITG Europe

        In the fourth quarter of 1998, we entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Société Générale, and founded ITG Europe. On November 18, 1998, ITG Europe launched a new agency brokerage operation that included the operation of a European version of the POSIT system. On May 2, 2001, we purchased Société Générale's entire interest in ITG Europe for $18.5 million. The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price has been allocated to assets

51



acquired and liabilities assumed based upon estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The $16.7 million excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill.

KTG

        On September 28, 2001, we acquired the KastenNet business of Kasten Chase Applied Research Limited for $7.4 million Canadian dollars (approximately USD4.7 million). KastenNet is a direct access provider that employs proprietary technology to connect its clients, Canadian broker-dealers, to the Toronto Stock Exchange. We acquired the assets of KastenNet via KTG, a new wholly-owned subsidiary of ITG. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. A software license we acquired amounting to USD4.2 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen-year period.

        The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the above businesses from their respective dates of acquisition.

Hoenig

        On September 3, 2002, we completed the acquisition of Hoenig Group Inc., which, through its operating affiliates, provides trade execution, independent research and other services to alternative investment funds and money managers globally.

        Under the terms of the transaction, Hoenig stockholders received approximately $105.0 million, or $11.58 per share, of which approximately $2.4 million, or $0.23 per share, have been placed into an escrow account. This $2.4 million cash deposit balance is classified in other assets and a corresponding liability is recorded as accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2002.

        Such escrow requirement relates to the pursuit, on behalf of Hoenig Group Inc. shareholders, of certain insurance and other claims in connection with a $7.2 million pre-tax loss announced by Hoenig Group Inc. on May 9, 2002 as a result of unauthorized trading in foreign securities, by a former employee of Hoenig & Company Limited, in violation of Hoenig's policies and procedures.

        In connection with this acquisition, we incurred transaction costs consisting primarily of professional fees of approximately $2.8 million, which have been included in the purchase price. The purchase price was allocated to those assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of Hoenig's net assets as of September 3, 2002. At that date, the market value of two New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") memberships owned by Hoenig was $5.0 million. Hoenig's carrying value for the NYSE memberships was $0.8 million. This resulted in a $4.2 million allocation of the purchase consideration to such memberships. In addition, approximately $0.5 million was allocated to the "Hoenig" trade name, which is being amortized over three years from the date of acquisition. Also, a $3.7 million allowance has been provided in relation to certain deferred tax assets as it appears more likely than not that these assets will not be realized. In addition, we recorded liabilities totaling approximately $3.1 million principally in relation to (i) the severance provided to the former Hoenig Chief Executive Officer and certain other employees of Hoenig, and (ii) lease and contract termination costs in relation to the closure of Hoenig offices in London and Hong Kong as local personnel moved into ITG offices following the acquisition. All other assets acquired and liabilities assumed had fair

52



values substantially equal to their historic book values. The remaining purchase consideration, or $57.3 million, was recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of Hoenig have been included in our results of operations since September 3, 2002.

        The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price in the Hoenig acquisition (dollars in thousands):

Purchase price   $ 105,012  
Acquisition costs     2,806  
   
 
Total purchase price   $ 107,818  
   
 
Historical net assets acquired   $ 53,435  
Write-up of exchange seats and trading rights     4,200  
Write-up of "Hoenig" trade name     486  
Write-down of deferred tax assets     (3,659 )
Liabilities for restructuring and integration costs incurred     (3,146 )
Other, net     (819 )
Goodwill     57,321  
   
 
Total purchase price   $ 107,818  
   
 

        This business combination, accounted under the purchase method, was recorded using management's estimates derived from preliminary evaluations. The actual purchase price accounting adjustments to reflect the fair value of net assets will be based on management's final evaluation; therefore, the information above is subject to change pending the final allocation of purchase price.

        The following represents the summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 as if the Hoenig acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each of the periods presented (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
  2002
  2001
Total revenues   $ 417,606   $ 424,261
Net income     66,493     77,785
Basic earnings per share     1.37     1.62
Diluted earnings per share     1.36     1.60

        The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the Hoenig acquisition had been in effect for the periods presented, nor are they indicative of the results that will occur in the future.

(4) Goodwill and Other Intangibles

        The following is a summary of goodwill and other intangibles at December 31:

 
  Goodwill
  Other Intangibles, Net
 
  2002
  2001
  2002
  2001
 
  (Dollars in thousands)

U.S. Operations   $ 55,643   $   $ 432   $
International Operations     21,890     20,215     4,602     4,177
   
 
 
 
Total   $ 77,533   $ 20,215   $ 5,034   $ 4,177
   
 
 
 

        In accordance with SFAS No. 142, which became effective January 1, 2002, we discontinued the amortization of goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be assessed no less than annually for impairment. There was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. Other intangibles with definite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are assessed annually for impairment pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.

        On September 3, 2002, we recorded approximately $57.3 million of goodwill in relation to the completion of the Hoenig acquisition. See Note 3, Acquisitions. As of December 31, 2002, goodwill also included an aggregate of $20.2 million recognized as part of our November 2000 acquisition of ITG Australia and our May 2001 acquisition of ITG Europe. During the year ended December 31, 2002, no goodwill was deemed impaired and, accordingly, no write-off was required.

        During the year ended December 31, 2002, we acquired $1.3 million of other intangibles corresponding to the Hoenig trade name ($0.5 million) and certain trading rights principally in Hong Kong ($0.8 million). As of December 31, 2002, other intangibles also included the software license acquired in 2001 from KastenNet with a carrying value of $3.9 million.

        We recorded amortization expense in relation to other intangibles of approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Estimated amortization expense for existing other intangibles is approximately $2.2 million in total for the five-year period ending December 31, 2007.

54



        Had we applied the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, net income and per share data would have been as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
  2002
  2001
  2000
Reported net income   $ 73,810   $ 78,895   $ 63,593

Adjusted net income   $ 73,810   $ 80,000   $ 64,228
   
 
 
Basic earnings per share:                  
Reported net income   $ 1.52   $ 1.65   $ 1.37

Adjusted net income   $ 1.51   $ 1.64   $ 1.35
   
 
 

(5) Restructuring Charges

        In accordance with EITF No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring), we implemented a plan to align our infrastructure with expected levels of trading volume. Under the plan, we took actions to reduce our cost structure through the decision to terminate 72 employees in December 2002, including 54 personnel employed in our U.S. Operations and 18 personnel employed in our International Operations. The 72 terminations involved personnel in technology and development, in production services and in sales, trading, research and administration.

        As a result of this decision, we recorded a $5.9 million charge consisting of severance and related costs. This charge is classified as Restructuring Charges in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        The following is a summary of the restructuring charges recognized in December 2002 and the remaining accruals at December 31, 2002 (dollars in thousands):

Total restructuring charges   $ 5,874
Amount paid in 2002     1,414
   
Balance at December 31, 2002   $ 4,460
   

        The amount accrued for severance is based upon our severance policy and the positions eliminated. Based upon current severance dates and the accrued severance at December 31, 2002, we expect to pay these amounts in 2003.

(9) Capitalized Software

        The following is a summary of capitalized software costs at December 31:

 
  2002
  2001
 
  (Dollars in thousands)

Capitalized software costs   $ 8,258   $ 9,985
Less: accumulated amortization     1,676     5,888
   
 
Total   $ 6,582   $ 4,097
   
 

        Software costs totaling $4,910,000 and $3,277,000 were capitalized in 2002 and 2001, respectively, primarily for the development of new versions of QuantEX, ITG/Opt, ITG Platform and TCA. Capitalized software costs of $595,000 and $2,633,000 were not subject to amortization as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, as the underlying products were not yet available for release to customers. In 2002, 2001 and 2000, other general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income included $2,425,000, $3,724,000 and $3,287,000, respectively, in relation to the amortization of capitalized software costs. During the year ended December 31, 2002, capitalized software costs and related accumulated amortization were each reduced by $6,636,000 of fully amortized costs.

(10) Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

        Accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following at December 31:

Total   $ 53,443   $ 57,217   $ 49,403
   
 
 

        Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in reporting certain items, principally deferred compensation. The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to the deferred tax asset at December 31 were as follows:

 
  2002
  2001
 
  (Dollars in thousands)

Deferred compensation   $ 9,549   $ 7,818
Investment loss—Instipro (capital loss)     3,659    
Depreciation     2,606     1,387
Valuation allowance—Investment loss—Instipro (capital loss)     (3,659 )  
Other deferred tax (liabilities) assets, net     (2,415 )   754
   
 
Total   $ 9,740   $ 9,959
   
 

        Management believes that it is more likely than not that the taxable income from carryback years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and anticipated future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the deferred tax benefit.

        As part of the allocation of the purchase price in the Hoenig acquisition, a full valuation allowance was recorded against a $3.7 million deferred tax asset relating to a capital loss generated from Hoenig's investment in Instipro Group, Inc. ("Instipro"). The deferred tax asset arose when Hoenig recognized a $9.3 million capital loss in 2001 representing the value of their investment in Instipro, a company that filed a petition in bankruptcy court to liquidate under Chapter 7 in 2001. Management believes that it is more likely than not that we will not be able to generate sufficient capital gains to utilize the capital loss carryforward associated with the bankruptcy of Instipro. The capital loss carryforward expires in June 2007.

        The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate due to the following:

 
  2002
  2001
  2000
 
U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate   35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 %
  State and local income taxes, net of Federal income tax effect   4.9 % 5.9 % 7.4 %
  Non-deductible foreign losses   3.6 % 1.6 % 1.4 %
  Other differences, net   (1.5 %) (0.5 %) (0.1 %)
   
 
 
 
Effective income tax rate   42.0 % 42.0 % 43.7 %
   
 
 
 

(12) Related Party Transactions

        Prior to our purchase of the remaining 50% stakes in our Australian and European subsidiaries in November 2000 and May 2001, respectively, the transactions described below were related party transactions.

        Pursuant to a software license agreement between Investment Technology Group International Limited ("ITGIL") and ITG Ventures Ltd., formerly ITG Technologies Limited ("ITG Ventures"), ITGIL invoiced ITG Ventures $0.8 million, and $2.7 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively, for development services.

        In 1999, ITG Inc. entered into service agreements with our related parties, Investment Technology Group Limited and ITG Australia Ltd. under which ITG Inc. provides introductory brokerage and related services. Investment Technology Group Limited's fees for these services are included in revenues and amounted to $473,000 and $1,152,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. ITG Australia Ltd.'s fees for these introductory brokerage and related services amounted to $81,000 in 2000.

        We received royalty revenue from our related parties, ITG Australia Ltd. (through the date of acquisition) in the amount of $48,000 in 2000, and ITG Ventures in the amount of $170,000 and $562,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively, pursuant to software license agreements.

(13) Off Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

        In the normal course of business, we are involved in the execution of various customer securities transactions. Securities transactions are subject to the credit risk of counterparties or customer nonperformance. In connection with the settlement of non-U.S. securities transactions, Investment Technology Group, Inc. has provided third party financial institutions with guarantees in amounts up to a maximum of $127.0 million. In the event that a customer of ITG's subsidiaries fails to settle a securities transaction or if the related ITG's subsidiaries were unable to honor trades with a customer, Investment Technology Group, Inc. would be required to perform for the amount of such securities up to the $127.0 million cap. However, transactions are collateralized by the underlying security, thereby reducing the associated risk to changes in the market value of the security through settlement date. Therefore, the settlement of these transactions is not expected to have a material effect upon our financial statements. It is also our policy to review, as necessary, the credit worthiness of each counterparty and customer.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirement for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. This Interpretation clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, relating to the guarantor's accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. The adoption of Interpretation No. 45 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

        Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, securities owned, at fair value and receivables from brokers, dealers and other. Cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, at fair value are deposited with high credit quality financial institutions.

(14) Net Capital Requirement

        ITG Inc., AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. are subject to the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. ITG Inc. has elected to use the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that ITG Inc. maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions. AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. have elected to use the basic method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that they maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $100,000 for AlterNet and $250,000 for Hoenig & Co., Inc., or 62/3% of aggregate indebtedness.

        At December 31, 2002, ITG Inc., AlterNet and Hoenig & Co., Inc. had net capital of $86.3 million, $3.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of which $86.0 million, $3.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, was in excess of required net capital.

        In addition, our Canadian, Australian, European and Asian operations had regulatory capital in excess of the minimum requirements applicable to each business as of December 31, 2002 of approximately $6.8 million, $2.7 million, $12.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2002, Hoenig & Co., Inc. held a $3.8 million cash balance in a segregated bank account for the benefit of customers under certain directed brokerage arrangements. In addition, Hoenig & Co., Inc. computes a deposit due on any fail to receive/deliver for foreign securities of their customers transacted through its foreign affiliates.

(15) Stockholders' Equity

        Our dividend policy is to retain earnings to finance the operations and expansion of our businesses. As a result, we have never paid and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock at this time.

        As part of our share repurchase program, our Board of Directors authorizes management to use its discretion to purchase an agreed-upon maximum number of shares of common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we purchased approximately 2.0 million shares of our common stock at an average cost of $31.75 per share and for $63.7 million in the aggregate. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2002, we were authorized to repurchase up to approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock.

(16) Employee and Non Employee Director Stock and Benefit Plans

Stock option plan

        At December 31, 2002, we had a stock option plan.

        Under the Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Option and Long-term Incentive Plan (the "1994 Plan"), options to purchase 9,728,235 shares of our Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the plan. Shares of Common Stock which are attributable to awards which have expired, terminated or been canceled or forfeited during any calendar year are generally available for issuance or use in connection with future awards during such calendar year. Options that have been granted under the 1994 Plan are exercisable on dates ranging through January 2010. The 1994 Plan will remain in effect until March 31, 2007, unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors. After such date, no further stock options shall be granted but previously granted stock options shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions, as stated in the 1994 Plan.

        In June 1995, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Non-Employee Directors' Plan. The Non-Employee Directors' Plan generally provides for an annual grant to each non-employee director of an option to purchase 6,141 shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Non-Employee Directors' Plan provides for the automatic grant to a non-employee director, at the time he or she is initially elected, of a stock option to purchase 24,564 shares of Common Stock. Stock options granted under the Non-Employee Directors' Plan are non-qualified stock options having an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. All stock options become exercisable three months after the date of grant. Stock options granted under the Non-Employee Directors' Plan expire five years after the date of grant. A total of 557,050 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the Non-Employee Directors' Plan.

        A summary of the status of our stock option plan as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 and changes during the years ended on those dates is presented below:

        The 1994 Plan allows for the granting of performance-based stock options. In 2000, 88,104 performance-based options were granted, however no such options were granted during 2001 and 2002. At December 31, 2002, all of such options were outstanding.

ITG Employee and Non Employee Director Benefit Plans

        Effective January 1, 1999, all employees were immediately eligible to participate in the Investment Technology Group, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan and the Investment Technology Group, Inc. Money Purchase Pension Plan (the "Plans"). These Plans include all eligible compensation (base salary, bonus, commissions, options and overtime) up to the Internal Revenue Service annual maximum, or $200,000 for 2002. The Plans' features include a guaranteed Company contribution of 3% of eligible pay to be made to all eligible employees regardless of participation in the Plans, a discretionary Company contribution based on total consolidated Company profits between 0% and 8% of eligible compensation regardless of participation in the Plans and a Company matching contribution of 66 ?% of voluntary employee contributions up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation per year. The costs for the Plans were $2,767,000, $6,221,000 and $4,448,000 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and are included in compensation and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income.

        Effective January 1, 1998, selected members of senior management and key employees participated in the Stock Unit Award Program ("SUA"), a mandatory tax-deferred compensation program established under the Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Option and Long-term Incentive Plan. Under the SUA, selected participants of the Company are required to defer receipt of (and thus defer taxation on) a graduated portion of their total cash compensation for units representing common stock equal in value to 115% of the compensation deferred. Each participant is automatically granted units, 15 days following the end of each calendar quarter based on participant's actual or assigned compensation reduction. The units are at all times fully vested and non-forfeitable. The units are to be settled on or after the third anniversary of the date of grant. We included the participants' deferral in compensation expense and recognized additional compensation expense of $758,000, $801,000, and $645,000 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, which represents the 15% excess over the amount actually deferred by the

62



participants. During 2002, 2001, and 2000, we granted 115,477, 170,808, and 191,957 units, respectively, to the employees in the SUA. In 2002, we issued 99,230 shares of our common stock in connection with the SUA.

        Under the Directors' Retainer Fee Subplan, adopted in 2002, directors who are not our employees receive an annual retainer fee of $50,000. This retainer fee is payable, at the election of each director, either in (i) cash, (ii) ITG common stock valued at $50,000 on the grant date or (iii) under a deferred compensation plan which provides deferred share units valued at $50,000 on the grant date which convert to freely sellable shares when the director retires from our board of directors. The cost of the Directors' Retainer Fee Subplan was $150,000 in 2002, and is included in other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

        In November 1997, our Board of Directors approved the ITG Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The ESPP became effective February 1, 1998 and allows all full-time employees to purchase shares of our Common Stock at a 15% discount through automatic payroll deductions. The ESPP is qualified as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(17) Earnings Per Share

        Net earnings per share of common stock is based upon an adjusted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to reflect our three-for-two stock split in December 2001. The average number of outstanding shares for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 were 48.5 million, 47.9 million and 46.5 million, respectively.

        The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31:

 
  2002
  2001
  2000
 
  (In thousands, except per share amounts)

Net income for basic and diluted earnings per share   $ 73,810   $ 78,895   $ 63,593

        At December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, approximately 759,000, 767,000 and 900,000 securities, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects would have been antidilutive.

(18) Commitments and Contingencies

        We have entered into lease and sublease agreements with third parties for certain offices and equipment, which expire at various dates through 2018. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 was $7.7 million, $6.0 million, and $4.6 million, respectively. Minimum future rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases follow (dollars in thousands):

Year Ending December 31,

   
2003   $ 8,408
2004     7,677
2005     7,077
2006     4,772
2007     4,826
2008 and thereafter     23,444
   
Total   $ 56,204
   

        Pursuant to employment agreements expiring in 2003 and 2004, we are obligated to pay six employees aggregate minimum compensation of $5.3 million in the year ending December 31, 2003 and $4.5 million in the year ending December 31, 2004. In the event of termination of employment without cause prior to their respective expiration, these agreements provide for aggregate severance payments totaling the lower of $9.8 million or the remaining minimum compensation due, net of payments made through the termination date.

        In 1998, we received a "30-day letter" proposing certain adjustments which, if sustained, would result in a tax deficiency of approximately $9.6 million plus interest. The adjustments proposed relate to (i) the disallowance of deductions taken in connection with the termination of certain compensation plans at the time of our initial public offering in 1994 and (ii) the disallowance of tax credits taken in connection with certain research and development expenditures. On September 18, 2000, we entered into a closing agreement with the IRS with respect to the compensation plan deductions, whereby the IRS agreed that the deductions taken were allowable deductions. This agreement eliminates approximately $7.6 million of the $9.6 million potential tax deficiency raised by the IRS in 1998. We are continuing to pursue the resolution of the research and development tax credit issue and we believe that the ultimate resolution will not be material to the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

(19) Segment Reporting

        Segment information is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".

        In 2001, as the Company continued to expand globally, the Company's business structure was organized into two reportable segments: U.S. operations and international operations. The U.S.

64



Operations segment provides equity trading and research services to institutional investors, brokers and alternative investment funds and money managers in the U.S. The International Operations segment includes our brokerage businesses in Australia, Canada, Europe, and Hong Kong, as well as a research facility in Israel.

        Due to the highly integrated nature of global financial markets, the Company manages its international operations segment as a whole. Accordingly, management believes that results by geographic region are not necessarily conducive to a better understanding of its business.

        The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment transactions that occur are based on specific criteria or approximate market prices. The Company allocates resources to and evaluates performance of its reportable segments based on income before income tax expense.

        A summary of the segment financial information is as follows (dollars in thousands):
