“Our business continued to perform well in the second quarter of 2015.  Global volumes in general did not compare to the prior two quarters,” said Douglas Cifu, Chief Executive Officer of Virtu Financial. “However, volumes in general compare favorably to the second quarter of last year.  The benefits of our diversified model were evident in the second quarter as our $1.68 million of average Adjusted Net Trading Income was spread across our six categories, with no one category contributing more than 26.1% overall.  In addition, we continue to realize strong operating margins across our business and have realized a 67.5% Adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter.  We will pay our initial quarterly dividend as a public company of $0.24 per share in September. We remain optimistic about the outlook for our business for the remainder of this year.  Market activity in July has been more robust and indicative of higher levels of activity across our business.”

Since our inception, we have sought to broadly diversify our market making across securities, asset classes and geographies, and as a result, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we achieved a diverse mix of Adjusted Net Trading Income results, with no one category constituting more than 26.1% of our total Adjusted Net Trading Income. Daily Adjusted Net Trading Income was approximately $1.680 million for this quarter compared to $1.501 million for the same period in the previous year.

The increase in Adjusted Net Trading Income this quarter, in comparison to the same period in the previous year, was primarily driven by strong performances in EMEA equities, APAC equities and Global Commodities.

The following tables show our Adjusted Net Trading Income, average daily Adjusted Net Trading Income and percentage of Adjusted Net Trading Income by category for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2015, Virtu had $127.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, and total long-term debt outstanding in an aggregate principal amount of $502.4 million.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents from prior periods is primarily due to the net proceeds contributed to Virtu Financial LLC as a result of the Initial Public Offering.

Virtu’s headcount was 149 full-time employees as of June 30, 2015.

Initial Public Offering

On April 21, 2015, we closed the initial public offering of 19,012,112 shares of Class A common stock and the total gross proceeds of the offering were approximately $361.2 million. Of the proceeds, we used approximately $25.2 million to pay underwriting discounts and commissions, and we used approximately $277.2 million to purchase shares of our Class A common stock and common units in Virtu Financial LLC (and paired shares of our Class C common stock) from certain pre-IPO equityholders, including affiliates of Silver Lake Partners, and certain employees. We have contributed the remaining $58.8 million of net proceeds to Virtu Financial LLC, the operating company, which will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items

To supplement our unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance:

·                  “Adjusted Net Trading Income”, which is the amount of revenue we generate from our market making activities, or trading income, net, plus interest and dividends income and expense, net, less direct costs associated with those revenues, including brokerage, exchange and clearance fees, net. Management believes that this measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Although we use Adjusted Net Trading Income as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of Adjusted Net Trading Income is limited because it does not include certain material costs that are necessary to operate our business. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Trading Income should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by revenues or expenses that are not directly associated with our market making activities.

·                  “Adjusted Net Income”, which measures our operating performance by adjusting Net Income to exclude amortization of purchased intangibles and acquired capitalized software, severance, termination of office leases, equipment write-off, acquisition related retention bonus, stock-based compensation, charges related to one-time stock-based compensation at IPO, net, and charges related to pre-IPO stock-based compensation awards, net.

·                  “EBITDA”, which measures our operating performance by adjusting Net Income to exclude financing interest expense on senior secured credit facility, depreciation and amortization, amortization of purchased intangibles and acquired capitalized software, equipment write-off and income tax expense, and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which measures our operating performance by further adjusting EBITDA to exclude severance, termination of office leases, acquisition related retention bonus, stock-based compensation, charges related to one-time stock-based compensation at IPO, net, and charges related to pre-IPO stock-based compensation awards, net.

·                  “Normalized Net Income”, “Normalized Net Income before income taxes”, “Normalized provision for income taxes”, and “Normalized EPS”, which we calculate by adjusting Net Income to exclude certain items including IPO related adjustment and other non-cash items, assuming that all vested and unvested Virtu Financial LLC units have been exchanged for Class A Common Stock, and applying a corporate tax rate of approximately 35.5%.

Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by management in evaluating operating performance and in making strategic decisions. In addition, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA or similar non-GAAP measures are used by research

analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess our operating performance. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide indicators of general economic performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Furthermore, our credit agreement contains covenants and other tests based on metrics similar to Adjusted EBITDA. Other companies may define Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income or Adjusted EBITDA differently, and as a result our measures of Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Although we use Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because they do not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business.

Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, Net Income in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income and our EBITDA-based measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

·                  they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·                  our EBITDA-based measures do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;

·                  although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and our EBITDA-based measures do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements;

·                  they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;

·                  they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

·                  they do not reflect limitations on our costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended as alternatives to Net Income as indicators of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. These U.S. GAAP measurements include operating income (loss), Net Income (loss), cash flows from operations and cash flow data. See below a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
