- Continued deployment of ESG strategy with the upcoming launch of the AEX® ESG index, following the successful launch of the CAC 40® ESG and MIB® ESG.
- Successful completion of the necessary steps to prepare the migration of clients to Euronext Core Data Centre in Bergamo, Italy. Euronext is now proceeding with the client installation, which is set to be finalised in spring 2022. First part of this strategic migration expected to be achieved in June 2022.
- Costs guidance for 2022:
To highlight its underlying performance, from Q1 2022 Euronext will adjust its operating expenses and publish an adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring items (definition in appendix), for example implementation costs related to the Borsa Italiana Group integration.
In 2022, Euronext expects its underlying operating costs excluding D&A (definition in appendix) to be around €622.0 million, compared to the annualised fourth quarter of 2021 underlying operating costs excluding D&A (€627 million).
In addition, Euronext expects to incur around €50.0 million of non-recurring, implementation costs in 2022, out of the announced €160 million of non-recurring, implementation costs to deliver on the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan.
These implementation costs reflect the ongoing work of the Euronext teams to deliver on the key strategic projects announced in November 2021, including (i) the migration of its Core Data Centre to Bergamo (Italy), (ii) the migration of Italian cash and derivatives markets to the Optiq® trading platform and (iii) the European expansion of Euronext Clearing (formerly CC&G) clearing activities (subject to regulatory approvals).
Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:
“Euronext delivered a record performance during the fourth quarter of 2021, closing a dynamic and pivotal year 2021 for Euronext. In 2021, Euronext achieved more than 40% of growth in revenue and EBITDA and a high double-digit increase in adjusted EPS. This results from the successful integration of Euronext Securities Copenhagen and the contribution of the Borsa Italiana Group, especially in fixed income, custody and settlement and clearing. This performance also reflects the solid performance of our non-volume related activities and our enhanced capacity to capture revenue in a less volatile equity trading environment. We maintained a strong costs control, that allowed the Group to report better costs than its 2021 costs guidance. In addition, just eight months after the completion of the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group, we have already achieved €10.1 million of run-rate annual synergies out of the 2024 target. Further, these achieved synergies do not encompass yet the business development opportunities arising from the integration of the Borsa Italiana Group.
We also consolidated our leadership position in the listing and trading of equities in Europe. This was further demonstrated by the record year in new equity listings with 212 new listings on Euronext markets in 2021. Furthermore, we recently announced the upcoming launch of our new segment for Tech companies, Tech Leaders, together with a full suite of pre-IPO and post-IPO services. This new segment will enhance the attractivity and visibility of Euronext’s Tech franchise and support our listing offering in Europe for Tech companies approaching the IPO stage.
In November 2021 we introduced our new strategic plan, ‘Growth for Impact 2024’, which sets ambitious financial targets and a firm commitment to the 1.5° climate trajectory, for the benefit of our stakeholders, and, more broadly, for European economies. This commitment is already concretely reflected in our growing ESG products offering, including the expansion of our ESG indices franchise to our national flagship indices. Following the CAC 40 ESG in France and the MIB ESG in Italy, we are about to launch the AEX ESG, to support sustainable investing in the Netherlands, one of the main equity markets of Euronext. Furthermore, as announced in November 2021, the planned migration to our new green Core Data Centre in Bergamo is well on track for completion by June 2022.
As we enter 2022, all the Euronext teams are more than ever committed to build the leading market infrastructure in Europe to shape capital markets for future generations.”

2021 revenue and income
In 2021, Euronext consolidated revenue and income increased to €1,298.7 million, up +46.9%, primarily resulting from (i) the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group, (ii) strong performance of non-volume related businesses and (iii) solid organic growth in clearing activities which offset lower trading volumes across all asset classes except fixed income, compared to a record year 2020. As a reminder, the Borsa Italiana Group was consolidated from 29 April 2021 and Euronext Securities Copenhagen was consolidated from 4 August 2020. On a like-for-like basis and at constant currencies, Euronext consolidated revenue and income grew +3.3% in 2021, at €897.7 million, compared to 2020.
Non-volume related revenue accounted for 55% of total Group revenue in 2021, compared to 50% in 2020, reflecting especially the expanded post-trade business and expansion of the Group’s technology franchise. The operating cost coverage by non-volume related revenue ratio was at 131% in 2021, compared to 121% in 2020.
2021 EBITDA
Operational expenses excluding depreciation & amortisation increased to €545.8 million, up +49.8%, primarily as a result of the consolidation of the costs from the Borsa Italiana Group, Euronext Securities Copenhagen (since 4 August 2020) and 3Sens (part of Corporate Services) for €185.4 million, as well as integration costs related to these acquisitions. On a like-for-like basis, operational expenses excluding depreciation & amortisation increased by +2.8% compared to 2020. 2021 costs were better than announced costs guidance.
Consequently, EBITDA for the year was up at €752.8 million, up +44.8%, representing an EBITDA margin of 58.0%, down -0.8 points compared to 2020, due to integration activity. On a like-for-like basis, EBITDA for 2021 was up +3.7%, to €535.5 million, and EBITDA margin was 59.7%, up +0.2 points compared to the same perimeter in 2020.
2021 net income, share of the parent company shareholders
Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €125.7 million in 2021, up +117.6%, resulting mainly from the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group, including its related PPA for €39.0 million (for eight months of consolidation). On a like-for-like basis, depreciation & amortisation was up +1.9% compared to 2020 at €57.8 million.
Operating profit before exceptional items was €627.1 million, a +35.7% increase compared to 2020. On a like-for-like basis, operating profit before exceptional items was up +3.4% compared to 2020, at €475.4 million.
€47.8 million of exceptional costs was reported in 2021, mainly related to the acquisition and ongoing integration of the Borsa Italiana Group.
Net financing expense for 2021 was €31.7 million compared to a net financing expense of €12.8 million in 2020. This increase results from the costs of the newly issued debt in relation to the financing of the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group.
Results from equity investments amounted to €33.2 million in 2021, reflecting several dividends received from Euroclear and Sicovam over 2021 for €25.7 million and the contribution from LCH SA, in which Euronext owns an 11.1% stake. As a reminder, in 2020, Euronext reported €10.6 million of results from equity investments solely reflecting the contribution from LCH SA.
Income tax for 2021 was €158.6 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 27.3% for the full year (2020: €122.2 million and 27.6% respectively).
Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to the Borsa Italiana Group and Nord Pool amounted to €8.7 million in 2021.
As a result, the reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, for 2021 increased by +31.0% compared to 2020, to €413.3 million. This represents a reported EPS of €4.30 basic and €4.29 fully diluted in 2021, compared to €4.13 basic and fully diluted in 20208. The number of shares used was 96,058,761 for the basic calculation and 96,297,159 for the fully diluted calculation9.
Adjusted EPS is up +17.2% in 2021, at €5.35 per share, compared to an adjusted EPS of €4.57 per share in 2020.
In 2021, Euronext reported a net cash flow from operating activities of €543.6 million, compared to €278.0 million in 2020, reflecting higher positive changes in working capital and the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group. Excluding the impact on working capital from Euronext Clearing (formerly CC&G) and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 65.4% of EBITDA in 2021.

Q4 2021 revenue and income
In the fourth quarter of 2021, Euronext consolidated revenue and income increased to a record level of €370.1 million, up +59.5%, resulting primarily from (i) the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group and (ii) solid organic growth. On a like-for-like basis and at constant currencies, Euronext consolidated revenue and income grew +4.3% in Q4 2021, to €243.1 million, compared to Q4 2020.
Non-volume related revenue accounted for 55% of total Group revenue in Q4 2021, compared to 54% in Q4 2020, reflecting a solid fourth quarter for non-volume related business that offset the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group trading activities. The operating cost coverage by non-volume related businesses ratio was at 126% in Q4 2021, compared to 118% in Q4 2020.
Q4 2021 EBITDA
Operational expenses excluding depreciation & amortisation increased to €161.8 million, up +54.0%, primarily as a result of the consolidation of the costs from the Borsa Italiana Group, for €57.3 million, as well as related integration costs. On a like-for-like basis, operational expenses excluding depreciation & amortisation were stable (+0.1%) compared to Q4 2020.
Consequently, EBITDA for the quarter was up at €208.2 million, representing an EBITDA margin of 56.3%, up +1.6 points compared to Q4 2020, despite integration activity. On a like-for-like basis, EBITDA for Q4 2021 was up +7.8%, to €138.6 million, and EBITDA margin was 57.0%, up +1.8 points compared to the same perimeter in Q4 2020.
Q4 2021 net income, share of the parent company shareholders
Depreciation and amortisation accounted for €41.3 million in Q4 2021, up +160.5%, resulting mainly from the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group, including its related PPA for €15.7 million (for a full quarter of consolidation). On a like-for-like basis, depreciation & amortisation was up +4.7% compared to Q4 2020 at €17.0 million.
Operating profit before exceptional items was €166.9 million, a +50.4% increase compared to Q4 2020. On a like-for-like basis, operating profit before exceptional items was up +8.2% compared to Q4 2020, at €121.6 million.
€16.2 million of exceptional costs were reported in Q4 2021, mainly related to the integration of the Borsa Italiana Group and brand impairment.
Net financing expense for Q4 2021 was €6.7 million compared to a net financing expense of €4.9 million in Q4 2020. This increase results from the costs of the newly issued debt in relation to the financing of the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group.
Results from equity investments amounted to €7.3 million in Q4 2021, reflecting an interim dividend received from Sicovam for €4.0 million, and the contribution from LCH SA, in which Euronext owns an 11.1% stake. As a reminder, in Q4 2020, Euronext reported €4.3 million of results from equity investments solely reflecting the contribution from LCH SA.
Income tax for Q4 2021 was €35.7 million. This translated into an effective tax rate of 23.6% for the quarter (Q4 2020: €30.3 million and 30.9% respectively), positively impacted by deductible exceptional costs.
Share of non-controlling interests mainly relating to the Borsa Italiana Group and Nord Pool amounted to €2.9 million in Q4 2021.
As a result, the reported net income, share of the parent company shareholders, for Q4 2021 increased by +67.8% compared to Q4 2020, to €112.7 million. This represents a reported EPS of €1.05 basic and fully diluted in Q4 2021, compared to €0.88 basic and fully diluted in Q4 202011. The number of shares used was 96,058,761 for the basic calculation and 96,297,159 for the fully diluted calculation12.
Adjusted EPS is up +19.7% in Q4 2021, at €1.31 per share, compared to an adjusted EPS of €1.09 per share in Q4 2020.
In Q4 2021, Euronext reported a net cash flow from operating activities of €145.6 million, compared to €74.7 million in Q4 2020, reflecting higher positive changes in working capital and the consolidation of the Borsa Italiana Group. Excluding the impact on working capital from Euronext Clearing (formerly CC&G) and Nord Pool CCP activities, net cash flow from operating activities accounted for 65.0% of EBITDA in Q4 2021.

New strategic plan, Growth for Impact 2024
On 8 November 2021, Euronext released its new three-year strategic plan, “Growth for Impact 2024”.
Over the past three years, under the “Let’s Grow Together 2022” strategic plan, Euronext has built the leading pan-European market infrastructure, through a combination of organic growth, the acquisitions of Nord Pool16 and VP Securities, and the transformational acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group.
Today, Euronext operates seven national markets, four CSDs and one clearing house in Europe, as well as various trading infrastructures, giving it the ability to manage the entire capital markets value chain for the first time since its IPO.
Looking forward, Euronext intends to grow and leverage its scale for the benefit of its clients, team members, shareholders and stakeholders. Euronext’s mission is to connect European economies to global capital markets, to accelerate innovation and sustainable growth.
“Growth for Impact 2024” sets out the Group’s ambition to build the leading market infrastructure in Europe. The Group aims to make an impact on its industry and its ecosystem to shape capital markets for future generations.
- The “Growth for Impact 2024” strategic plan translates into the following 2024 financial targets:
- Revenue growth: +3% to +4% CAGR2020PF17-2024E (compared to +2% to +3% CAGR2018PF-2022E in the previous plan);
- EBITDA growth: +5% to +6% CAGR2020PF1-2024E;
- CAPEX (unchanged): between 3% to 5% of total revenue;
- Dividend policy (unchanged): pay-out at 50% of reported net income for the period;
- Targeted 2024 pre-tax run-rate synergies for the Borsa Italiana Group acquisition are increased by 67%, to €100 million, mainly thanks to the European expansion of Euronext Clearing (formerly CC&G) clearing activities and the migration of Euronext’s Core Data Centre. More than 55% of the synergies are related to growth projects. Total implementation costs are estimated at €160 million.
- The “Growth for Impact 2024” strategic plan is built on the following strategic priorities:
- Leverage Euronext’s integrated value chain, through the European expansion of Euronext Clearing (formerly CC&G) clearing activities, the Core Data Centre migration to the European Union, and the international expansion of MTS;
- Pan-Europeanise Euronext CSDs through the expansion of services across its four CSDs in Portugal, Norway, Denmark and Italy, the harmonisation of processes and enhancement of the client experience;
- Build upon Euronext’s leadership in Europe, to further develop its leading listing and trading venues, to accelerate the delivery of innovative products and services thanks to technology, and to scale up advanced data services, corporate and investor services;
- Empower sustainable finance through an ambitious climate commitment for Euronext that aims to make a tangible impact on its partners and clients, with the launch of the Fit for 1.5° climate commitment, and also through an enhanced inclusive people strategy; and

Launch of Tech Leaders, the segment dedicated to Tech companies, with a full suite of pre-IPO and post-IPO services
On 8 February 2022, Euronext announced the forthcoming launch of Tech Leaders, a segment dedicated to highlighting the visibility and attractiveness of high-growth listed Tech companies among international investors, together with a suite of services to support them throughout their financial journey. Alongside this segment, Euronext is launching a full suite of pre-IPO services to attract private Tech listing candidates to Euronext’s markets, supporting their growth financing needs.
Euronext’s Tech Leaders segment will provide listed Tech companies with enhanced visibility among Euronext’s large international investor base, as well as access to the largest financing liquidity pool in Europe, whose platform Optiq®18 attracted 25% of European share trading activity in 2021. The Tech Leaders segment will be composed of innovative and high-growth Tech companies that are listed on Euronext markets and comply with a set of financial and non-financial criteria that set them apart in terms of market capitalisation, free-float, and growth profile. Tech companies listed on this segment will benefit from increased visibility towards investors and services to facilitate their access to financing throughout their growth journey.
This initiative includes a comprehensive offering of pre-IPO services to support future listings of high-growth Tech companies, leveraging on Euronext’s flagship pre-IPO programme TechShare. Euronext will offer notably executive training and coaching, advisory services and corporate access to investors, to prepare private Tech companies for their potential future IPO.
Euronext will develop and deploy these initiatives in close cooperation with both public and private institutions.
Subject to regulatory approval where relevant, the composition of the Tech Leaders segment and details of the services offered will be announced during Q2 2022.
Launch of AEX® ESG index to meet the financial community’s sustainable investment needs
On 10 February 2022, Euronext announced that it will launch a new ESG Index on Euronext Amsterdam, the AEX® ESG Index. This index will identify the 25 companies that demonstrate the best Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices from the 50 constituents of the AEX® and AMX® indices.

The launch of the AEX® ESG Index is scheduled in the course of Q2 2022.
The AEX® ESG Index combines measurement of economic performance with Environmental, Social and Governance impacts in line with the UN Global Compact principles19. For the index market data, Euronext has partnered with Sustainalytics, a Morningstar Company, which will provide the ESG assessment of companies for the composition of the index.
Core Data Centre migration update
Euronext announced in April 2021 the strategic decision to migrate its Core Data Centre from Basildon, in the United Kingdom, to Bergamo, in Italy.
The migration is a response to multiple factors, including the dynamic created by Brexit and a strong rationale to locate the Group’s Core Data Centre in a European Union country where Euronext operates a large business. This transformative move, managed in collaboration with clients, marks a milestone in bringing back to the European continent the data centre that handles 25% of European trading volumes.
This migration will allow Euronext to fully control and directly manage its core IT infrastructure, and a key service to clients, which was previously outsourced. This will also allow the generation of colocation revenues, embedded in the upgraded synergies. Clients will benefit from a state-of-the-art colocation facility. Since this data centre is 100% powered by renewable energy sources, clients will see their own carbon footprints reduced. The date currently targeted for the first part of the Group Core Data Centre migration, as announced in November 2021, is set for June 2022. The Euronext data centre migration has been timed in order to pave the way for the migration of the Borsa Italiana equity and derivatives markets onto Optiq® by mid-2023.
Euronext successfully finalised the build phase of the data centre in Q4 2021, which was focused on setting up the Production infrastructure (servers and networks) and the Colocation room (client racks). Client connectivity has been implemented and is now operational. Optiq®, Euronext’s proprietary state-of-the-art technology, has also been successfully installed in Bergamo. The colocation and connectivity offerings have been designed and shared with clients. As a next step, Euronext is working on the client installation (equipment shipping, installation, and testing), which is set to be finalised in spring 2022.
Adjustments in financial disclosure
To highlight its underlying performance, starting from Q1 2022, Euronext will publish underlying recurring costs, adjusted EBITDA and non-recurring costs.
Euronext will then remove the exceptional items line from its financial statements. Consequently, costs previously reported as exceptional items will from Q1 2022 be included into their respective lines within Euronext operating expenses as non-recurring items.
The €160 million of implementation costs announced in November 2021 to deliver on the ‘Growth for Impact 2024’ strategic plan targets are therefore considered as non-recurring items and will be withdrawn from Q1 2022 from underlying recurring costs.
From Q1 2022, the computation of adjusted net income and earnings per share will be adjusted accordingly. The computation of reported net income and earnings per share will not be impacted.
As such, Euronext will disclose the following non-IFRS indicators:
- Adjusted operating profit as the operating profit, excluding any non-recurring costs
- Adjusted EBITDA as the adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortisation
- Adjusted EBITDA margin as the adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortisation, divided by total revenue and income
- Adjusted net income, as the net income adjusted for non-recurring costs and PPA as well as related tax items, and the corresponding Adjusted EPS
2024 strategic plan targets remain unchanged and are not affected by this change in reporting.

Euronext Securities achieves full CSDR compliance across its CSDs
On 28 January 2022, Euronext Securities Oslo was granted the licence to operate under the Central Securities Depository Regulation (CSDR) by the Norwegian FSA, effective as of 1 March 2022. Euronext has therefore successfully obtained CSDR licences for its four CSDs.
This authorisation represents the final step in achieving full CSDR compliance for Euronext Securities, the CSD network connecting European economies to global capital markets. Euronext Securities Copenhagen, Milan, and Porto already hold licences pursuant to Art. 16 under CSDR. It paves the way for Euronext’s strategy to pan-Europeanise and scale up Euronext Securities.
This is an important milestone for Euronext Securities Oslo. The licence secures its ability to continue to provide a stable and efficient market infrastructure for the dynamic Norwegian capital market, attracting issuers, investors and market participants from all over the world.
The goal of the Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR) is to make markets more stable, transparent, and efficient by regulating securities settlement and settlement infrastructures in a harmonised manner across the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA).
