The headline revenue figure, however, contrasts sharply with the GAAP-reported comparison, which reflects a -39.7% year-over-year change driven by accounting and non-recurring factors. The primary engine behind the outperformance was the Options segment, which generated record net revenue of $364.80 million, up 19%, as total options average daily volume climbed 20% and index options ADV rose 17%, with zero-days-to-expiry SPX options activity remaining a notable volume contributor. Europe and Asia Pacific also shone, delivering record net revenue of $70.40 million, up 30%, on a 43% surge in European Equities ADNV. Looking ahead, Cboe raised its 2025 organic net revenue growth target to high single digits while trimming its adjusted operating expense guidance to $832.00 million to $847.00 million, signaling confidence in sustained margin expansion.
