Management Commentary
"Generally lackluster trading conditions throughout the third quarter negatively impacted trading volumes in our retail and futures businesses across GAIN’s global footprint," said Glenn Stevens, Chief Executive Officer. "However, while volumes were down, revenue per million increased to about $162 for the quarter. The increase in RPM was driven primarily by pockets of volatility in emerging market currencies, including the Turkish Lira, as trading in these products typically generates higher revenue capture for us. Events in Turkey, as well as Argentina, during the quarter also had a ripple effect of a few brief periods of increased trading activity in EUR, GBP and Metals. The foregoing did not impact our Futures business, which saw revenue per contract of about $5.15 during the third quarter.”
Additional Share Count Assumption Update
The Company also estimates its weighted-average common shares outstanding for the third quarter 2018 to be approximately 45.0 million shares.
