| Although Adaptive Auto-X was still in pilot phase during the quarter, early results show promising transaction cost savings and reduced market impact in U.S |
| Record Information Services revenue of $12 million was up 22%, this strong performance was driven by the healthy pipeline of new contracts as we continue to experience strong adoption across our data product suite |
| Open Trading ADV is running at $3.8 billion compared to $3.2 billion in Q3, up 19%, reflecting some early positive signs of an increase in volatility |
| We are making excellent progress with the rollout of X-Pro, powered by our proprietary data, which is increasing trader efficiency while driving better trading outcomes |
| Our client franchise has never been stronger with a record of over 2,000 active clients across 67 countries |
| And we see that data, our market data, as you saw in the quarter, grew over 20%, and that will help us grow our operating margin as that data revenue piece continues to grow |
| But as we continue to execute our strategy and the macro backdrop improves, we believe we will be well positioned to deliver higher levels of growth in the quarters ahead |
| We believe that we have a superior dealer RFQ solution because of our comprehensive Open Trading liquidity |
| Since the end of the third quarter, volatility has continued to move higher, which has benefited ETF market maker activity and U.S |
| We are pleased to see some early positive signs of increased volatility, driving higher levels of ETF market maker activity in U.S |
| An expanding market, higher trading velocity, new product expansion and new protocols and workflows are all additional levers of growth that could enhance our addressable market |
| We delivered strong growth in our international businesses and in municipals |
| We experienced record Auto-X trade volume and count in the quarter with three-year CAGRs of 35% and 41% respectively, and a record 167 active client firms |
| high-grade trading on price has been very well received by our private bank clients, particularly in Europe |
| Obviously, we have a very important quarter ahead and are pretty excited about the levels of activity and the number of things that we're rolling out in this quarter and the quarters ahead |
| Our client franchise and network has never been stronger with continued diversification across client segments, regions and products |
| We continue to actively invest our cash to take advantage of the favorable interest rate environment to continue to deliver strong net interest income in the coming quarters |
| As well as record data revenue as our investments to broaden our geographical and product footprint pay off |
| We closed the acquisition of Pragma, we integrated the muni-broker platform, and we rolled out Open Trading to several emerging local markets, further solidifying our global leadership in emerging markets e-trading |
| So we're encouraged by the increase in volatility, as I mentioned, high-grade market share is running just slightly above September |
| This was driven by strong Eurobond trading volume up 18% and emerging local markets trading volume up 27% |
| I'm very pleased to update you on the significant progress we made in the third quarter to enhance our franchise and drive long-term growth |
| And with that, we think that's going to build our business and grow our market share |
| Well, obviously, we were pretty excited about that last week of September because we were coming off a quarter of fairly low vol and low volumes |
| Execution solutions like X-Pro and Adaptive Auto-X allow traders to fully leverage the power of MarketAxess, operating in a far more efficient manner while accessing the best possible liquidity and pricing available in the market |
| In summary, on Slide 18, we continue to execute very well against our growth strategy |
| We are pleased to see our portfolio trading clients increasingly leveraging, our unique pre-trade analytics like tradability, only available through X-Pro |
| So it's still very early days of our X-Pro for portfolio trading, and we're encouraged by where we stand today |
| credit, but we believe we are taking the right steps to improve our growth rates in our business in the years ahead |
| credit market share and lower total credit fee capture partially offset by revenue generated from strong international trading volumes |

| high-grade market share challenges |
| The lower levels of credit spread volatility during the quarter contributed to a decrease in ETF market making maker activity, which had a negative impact on our U.S |
| With the layoffs among the large investment banks and across the technology companies that market dynamic has reduced |
| When you look at the revenue backdrop, obviously, has been challenged |
| In fact, that's problematic |
| And Chris, you mentioned you guys have been disappointed with how U.S |
| Proposed new additional bank capital requirements could lead to further constraints on bank balance sheets for market making, highlighting the importance of a diverse liquidity pool like Open Trading |
| The decline in credit commission revenue was due to lower estimated U.S |
| We are not happy with our growth rates in U.S |
| We are not happy with current growth rates in U.S |
| The reduction in total credit fee capture from prior year was driven principally by the lower duration of U.S |
| With over $7 trillion in global corporate debt set to mature in the next three years, borrowers will have to refinance their debt at much higher rates, creating the potential for higher levels of turnover in the secondary markets |
| Our quarterly results were impacted by unusually low levels of credit spread volatility during the seasonally slower summer period |
| in credit globally |
| On pricing, obviously, we don't see a lot of pricing pressure across our market globally |
| Total commission revenue decreased 2% in the quarter, but year-to-date is running 2% above prior year |
| But when you look back historically, it looks like it's actually low quite a lot of the time and you get these periods of significant spike |
| So we haven't seen price competition hit there |
| Historically, there hasn't been much or any transaction pricing pressure in the industry |
| Mentioned that it could tighten capital rules by as much as 20%, which would obviously impact dealer liquidity in the U.S |
