Interactive Brokers Group Announces 2Q2020 Results
Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global electronic broker, reported diluted earnings per share of $0.40 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.43 for the same period in 2019, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.57 for both this quarter and for the year-ago quarter.
Net revenues were $539 million and income before income taxes was $222 million this quarter, compared to net revenues of $413 million and income before income taxes of $225 million for the same period in 2019. Adjusted net revenues were $523 million and adjusted income before income taxes was $310 million this quarter, compared to adjusted net revenues of $488 million and adjusted income before income taxes of $300 million for the same period in 2019.
Financial Highlights
- Commission revenue showed strong growth, increasing $98 million, or 55%, from the year-ago quarter on higher customer trading volumes within an active trading environment worldwide.
- Net interest income decreased $63 million, or 24%, from the year-ago quarter as the average Federal Funds effective rate decreased to 0.06% from 2.40% in the year-ago quarter.
- Other income increased $86 million from the year-ago quarter. This increase was mainly comprised of (1) $88 million related to our strategic investment in Up Fintech Holding Limited (“Tiger Brokers”), which swung to a $14 million mark-to-market gain this quarter from a $74 million mark-to-market loss in the same period in 2019; and (2) $22 million related to our currency diversification strategy, which gained $16 million this quarter compared to a loss of $6 million in the same period in 2019; partially offset by (3) $18 million related to our U.S. government securities portfolio, which swung to a $13 million mark-to-market loss this quarter from a $5 million mark-to-market gain in the same period in 2019.
- General and administrative expenses increased $106 million from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to $103 million in expenses incurred to compensate certain affected customers in connection with their losses resulting from the West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil contracts settling at a price below zero on April 20, 2020, as described below.
- 41% pretax profit margin for this quarter, down from 54% in the year-ago quarter. 59% adjusted pretax profit margin for this quarter, down from 61% in the year-ago quarter.
- Total equity of $8.3 billion.

West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil Event
On April 20, 2020 the energy markets exhibited extraordinary price activity in the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil contract. The price of the May 2020 physically-settled contract dropped to an unprecedented negative price of $37.63. This price was the basis for determining the settlement price for cash-settled contracts traded on the CME Globex and also for a separate, expiring cash-settled futures contract listed on the Intercontinental Exchange Europe (“ICE Europe”). Several of the Company’s customers held long positions in these CME and ICE Europe contracts, and as a result they incurred losses, including losses in excess of the equity in their accounts. The Company fulfilled the required variation margin settlements with the respective clearinghouses on behalf of its customers. The Company subsequently compensated certain affected customers in connection with their losses resulting from the contracts settling at a price below zero. As a result, the Company recognized an aggregate loss of approximately $104 million.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus as a pandemic. The pandemic affects all countries in which we operate. The response of governments and societies to the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes temporary closures of certain businesses; social distancing; travel restrictions, “shelter in place” and other governmental regulations; and reduced consumer spending due to job losses, has significantly impacted market volatility and general economic conditions.
The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated unprecedented market conditions with equally unprecedented social and community challenges. Amid these challenges:
- The Company is committed to ensuring the highest levels of service to its customers so they can effectively manage their assets, portfolios and risks. The Company’s technical infrastructure has withstood the challenges presented by the extraordinary volatility and increased market volume.
- The Company can run its business from alternate office locations and/or remotely if a Company office must temporarily close due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- As announced on April 9, 2020, the Company donated $5 million to assist efforts to provide food and support for people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States as well as to advance medical solutions.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial results for the second quarter of 2020 can be summarized as follows: (1) higher commission revenue due to increased trading activity and a higher rate of customer accounts opened during this period; and (2) lower net interest income resulting from lower benchmark interest rates and smaller aggregate margin loans extended to customers as they de-leveraged their exposures.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s future financial results could be significant but currently cannot be quantified, as it depends on numerous evolving factors that currently cannot be accurately predicted, including, but not limited to the duration and spread of the pandemic; its impact on our customers, employees and vendors; governmental actions in response to the pandemic; and the overall impact of the pandemic in the economy and society; among other factors. Any of these events could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.

Effects of Foreign Currency Diversification
In connection with our currency diversification strategy, we base our net worth in GLOBALs, a basket of 14 major currencies in which we hold our equity. In this quarter, our currency diversification strategy increased our comprehensive earnings by $38 million, as the U.S. dollar value of the GLOBAL increased by approximately 0.50%. The effects of the currency diversification strategy are reported as components of (1) Other Income ($16 million) and (2) Other Comprehensive Income ($22 million).
As a result of a periodic assessment, we have decided to reduce the number of currencies in the GLOBAL and realign the relative weights of each component to better reflect the global diversification of our business going forward. We removed the Danish krone (DKK), the Mexican peso (MXN), the Norwegian krone (NOK) and the Swedish krona (SEK). The new composition contains 10 currencies, down from 14 in the prior composition. The new composition took effect as of the close of business on June 30, 2020 and the conversion to the new targeted currency holdings took place over a short time period. The detailed component changes were disclosed with the June Monthly Brokerage Metrics on July 1, 2020. A copy of that press release is available through the Investor Relations section of the Interactive Brokers website at www.interactivebrokers.com/ir.
Regulatory Matters
The Company has provided information to FINRA, the SEC, and the CFTC concerning its historical anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act practices and procedures, and these agencies have indicated that they believe that these historical practices and procedures were inadequate. The Company periodically reviews these practices and procedures to make them more robust and to respond to changing regulatory standards; and we have been enhancing and augmenting them, including hiring additional personnel, over the past several years.
We are in discussions with these agencies to settle matters arising from their reviews, and while no agreements have been finalized, we believe that such settlements will entail monetary payments and the retention of an independent consultant to review the implementation of the Company’s enhanced practices and procedures. The Company has established a reserve that it deems adequate for such settlements. The Company is also cooperating with a Department of Justice inquiry concerning these matters, and while its outcome cannot be predicted, we do not believe that this inquiry is likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.

Note: The term “GAAP” in the following explanation refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
1 Adjusted net revenues, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income available for common stockholders and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G.
- We define adjusted net revenues as net revenues adjusted to remove the effect of our GLOBAL currency diversification strategy and our net mark-to-market gains (losses) on investments2.
- We define adjusted income before income taxes as income before income taxes adjusted to remove the effect of our GLOBAL currency diversification strategy, our net mark-to-market gains (losses) on investments, customer compensation expenses3 and unusual bad debt expense4.
- We define adjusted net income available to common stockholders as net income available for common stockholders adjusted to remove the after-tax effects of our GLOBAL currency diversification strategy, the mark-to-market on investments, customer compensation expenses, and unusual bad debt expense attributable to IBG, Inc.
Management believes these non-GAAP items are important measures of our financial performance because they exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and may be useful to investors and analysts in evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating a meaningful comparison of our results in the current period to those in prior and future periods. Our GLOBAL currency diversification strategy, our mark-to-market on investments and unusual bad debt expense are excluded because management does not believe they are indicative of our underlying core business performance. Adjusted net revenues, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, GAAP net revenues, income before income taxes, net income attributable to common stockholders and diluted EPS.
2 Mark-to-market on investments represents the net mark-to-market gains (losses) on our U.S. government securities portfolio, which are typically held to maturity, investments in equity securities that do not qualify for equity method accounting which are measured at fair value, and equity securities taken over by the Company from customers related to losses on margin loans described below.
3 Customer compensation expenses were incurred to compensate certain affected customers in connection with their losses resulting from the West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil contracts settling at a price below zero on April 20, 2020, as described above.
4 Unusual bad debt expense includes material losses on margin loans resulting from unusual events that occur in the marketplace. For the six months ending June 30, 2019, unusual bad debt expense reflects losses recognized on margin lending to a small number of our brokerage customers that had taken relatively large positions in a security listed on a major U.S. exchange, which lost a substantial amount of its value in a very short timeframe. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, unusual bad debt expense reflects losses incurred by futures customers in excess of the equity in their accounts, related the West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil event described above.
5 The income tax effect is estimated using the corporate income tax rates applicable to the Company.
