StoneX Group Inc. Reports Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Record Fiscal Year Results, with Net Income of $305.9 million, up 17%

Quarterly Net Operating Revenues of $585.1 million, up 29%  

Record Quarterly Net Income of $85.7 million, Quarterly ROE of 15.2%

Quarterly Diluted EPS of $1.57 per share, Fiscal Year of $5.89 per share

NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StoneX Group Inc. (the “Company”; NASDAQ: SNEX), a leading financial services franchise connecting clients to global markets, today announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended September 30, 2025.

Sean O’Connor, the Company’s Executive Vice-Chairman of the Board, stated, “We are pleased to announce our results to close out fiscal year 2025, one which marked another record annual performance in both revenues and net income and one in which we continue to grow both our product capabilities and client base. We achieved a record quarterly result, driven by strong contributions in equities trading, prime brokerage, and fixed income, as well as the closing of the acquisitions of R.J. O’Brien and The Benchmark Company, LLC. Overall, this resulted in a 12% increase in quarterly net income versus the prior year despite $9.3 million in acquisition-related charges in the current quarter, including $8.0 million in investment banking fees and $1.3 million in bridge loan financing charges, which combined equated to a reduction of approximately $0.13 in diluted EPS for the quarter.

We are confident that integrating these acquisitions will allow us to deliver a more comprehensive suite of products to both new and existing clients. Our ongoing strategy centers on driving shareholder value by expanding our product offerings, growing our client base, and increasing our geographic reach, all while maintaining our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional client service.” Mr. O’Connor added.

StoneX Group Inc. Summary Financials

Consolidated financial statements for the Company will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Upon filing, the Annual Report on Form 10-K will also be made available on the Company’s website at www.stonex.com.

(1 ) The acquisition of RJO, effective July 31, 2025, contributed 20.0 million listed derivative contracts in the three months and fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Also, for the three months and fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the average client equity includes the effect of an incremental $5.6 billion per month from RJO for the two months post-acquisition.
(2 ) Give-up fee revenues, related to contract execution for clients of other FCMs, as well as cash and voice brokerage revenues are excluded from the calculation of listed derivatives, average rate per contract.
(3 ) Interest expense associated with our fixed income activities is deducted from operating revenues in the calculation of Securities RPM while interest income related to securities lending is excluded.
(4 ) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See Appendix - Non-GAAP Financial Information for further information.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased $282.2 million, or 31%, to $1,202.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $920.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The acquisition of RJO contributed $141.0 million in operating revenues. The table above displays operating revenues disaggregated across the key products we provide to our clients.

Operating revenues derived from listed derivatives increased $89.4 million, principally driven by the acquisition of RJO which contributed $89.5 million. Our Commercial and Institutional segments added $40.5 million and $48.9 million, respectively.

Operating revenues derived from OTC derivatives increased $12.4 million, principally resulting from a 23% increase in OTC average rate per contract as well as a 3% increase in OTC derivative volumes.

Operating revenues derived from securities transactions increased $107.6 million, principally due to a 25% increase in ADV as well as a 23% increase in the securities RPM. Carried interest income on fixed income securities is a component of operating revenues, however, interest expense associated with financing these positions is not. In the calculation of securities RPM in the table above, we deduct interest expense associated with our fixed income activities from operating revenues, as well as exclude interest income related to securities lending, in order to provide a more useful measure of the financial performance of our securities business. Net operating revenues derived from securities transactions increased $48.7 million, principally due to the increase in ADV and RPM noted above.

Operating revenues derived from FX/CFD contracts declined $29.1 million, as a result of a $24.7 million and $4.4 million declines in our Self-Directed/Retail and Institutional segments, respectively, which was principally driven by a 32% decrease in RPM and a 7% decline in ADV, principally due to diminished FX volatility.

Operating revenues from payments increased $3.6 million, principally driven by a 13% increase in payments ADV, which was partially offset by a 4% decline in payments RPM.

Operating revenues derived from physical contracts increased $12.6 million, primarily as a result of a $19.5 million increase in physical agricultural and energy operating revenues, which was partially offset by a $6.8 million decline in precious metals operating revenues. Precious metals related operating revenues were unfavorably impacted by unrealized losses on derivative positions of $5.0 million and $4.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to physical inventories held at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Interest and fee income earned on client balances, which is associated with our listed and OTC derivative businesses, as well as our Correspondent Clearing and Independent Wealth Management businesses, increased $52.0 million, principally driven by the acquisition of RJO which contributed $50.0 million. Average client equity and average money-market/FDIC sweep client balances increased 71% and 25%, respectively. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the average client equity includes the effect of an incremental $5.6 billion per month from RJO for the two months post-acquisition.

Total interest expense $ 436.3   $ 337.8   29 %   $ 1,480.5   $ 1,183.5   25 %

The increase in interest expense attributable to fixed income securities and securities borrowing was principally due to the growth in the size of the security repo and securities lending businesses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the notional amount of senior secured notes increased from $550 million to $1,175 million with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes due 2032, which closed on July 8, 2025, in conjunction with the acquisition of R.J. O’Brien, which closed on July 31, 2025. The period also included $1.3 million, related to the remaining portion of the bridge loan financing fees for the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes due 2032. Additionally, interest expense on the corporate credit facility increased principally due to higher average borrowings outstanding.

Other Gains, net

The results of the three months ended September 30, 2025 included a gain of $1.3 million resulting from proceeds received from a class action settlement, partially offset by an equity investment loss.

Segment Results

Our business activities are managed through four operating segments, including Commercial, Institutional, Self-Directed/Retail and Payments.

The tables below present the financial performance, a disaggregation of operating revenues, select operating data and metrics, and a disaggregation of net operating revenue used by management in evaluating the performance of our segments, for the periods indicated.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, our acquisition of RJO triggered a reassessment of the financial information reviewed by management. We determined the acquired business activities of RJO were similar to our existing businesses, and the reassessment confirmed the current composition of the Company’s operating segments, except for one change resulting in the combination of all physical trading capabilities in precious metals being reported within the Commercial segment.

(1)EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.

EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure used to measure operating performance, is defined as net income plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus amortization of share-based compensation and less interest expenses attributable to trading activities, including the credit facilities of our subsidiaries, gain on acquisitions, acquisition-related expenses, and gain on class action settlements.

Each of the EBITDA-based measures described above is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, each such measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flows available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Such measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider any of such measures in isolation or as substitutes for our results as reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these EBITDA-based measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting the business’s trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. In addition, EBITDA provides more comparability between the historical operating results that reflect purchase accounting and the new capital structure.
