Second-Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights
-- Operating Revenue Increases 3 Percent to $148.7 Million
-- GAAP Net Income Allocated to Common Stockholders Increases 5 Percent to $44.6 Million; Diluted EPS of $0.54, Up 8 Percent
-- GAAP Operating Margin of 49.3 Percent Compared With 48.4 Percent, Up 90 Basis Points
CHICAGO, July 31, 2015 - CBOE Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBOE) today reported net income allocated to common stockholders of $44.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $42.6 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014. Operating revenue for the quarter was $148.7 million, up 3 percent compared with $143.9 million in the second quarter of 2014.
There were no non-GAAP adjustments for the second quarter of 2015 or 2014.
"CBOE Holdings posted solid results for the quarter just ended. I am pleased to add that our unwavering focus on executing our strategic initiatives throughout the quarter positioned the company for ongoing growth. We continued to uniquely ‘create, collaborate and connect’ with the marketplace to efficiently and cost effectively expand our business, most recently with the trading of Weeklys on the CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX® Index) and our collaboration with the Singapore Exchange (SGX) to launch The CBOE Options Institute at SGX,” said Edward T. Tilly, CBOE Holdings' Chief Executive Officer. “We are confident that the significant progress made in and since the second quarter will enable us to continue to deliver sustainable long-term value to our customers and our shareholders."
"CBOE delivered solid earnings in the second quarter despite a continuation of an industrywide low-volume trading environment, reflecting our disciplined approach to cost management. As the trading environment improved toward the end of the quarter and volume accelerated, CBOE was well positioned to benefit, most notably in our highest-margin, proprietary products,” said Alan J. Dean, CBOE Holdings' Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We are pleased that our ability to consistently deliver strong cash flow allows us to continue to return excess cash to our shareholders, which includes growing dividends. As we have done every year since 2010, earlier this week our Board increased CBOE's quarterly cash dividend by 10 percent, taking our dividend to $0.23 from $0.21."

Revenues
Operating revenue was $148.7 million in the second quarter of 2015, up $4.8 million, or 3 percent, from $143.9 million in the second quarter of 2014. This increase primarily reflects an increase of $3.7 million in transaction fees and $3.8 million in other revenue, offset somewhat by a decrease of $1.4 million in access fees and $1.1 million in regulatory fees. The increase in other revenue reflects higher regulatory fines assessed to trading permit holders resulting from disciplinary actions. Regulatory fines are only used to offset regulatory expenses.
Transaction fees increased 4 percent in the quarter, driven by a 14 percent increase in the average revenue per contract (RPC), partially offset by a 9 percent decrease in trading volume compared with the second quarter of 2014. Total trading volume in the second quarter was 275.9 million contracts, or 4.38 million contracts per day, compared with volume of 304.4 million contracts, or 4.83 million contracts per day, in last year's second quarter. The RPC was $0.368 compared with $0.322 in the second quarter of 2014.
The increase in RPC primarily reflects a shift in the mix of products traded as well as RPC gains across each product category resulting from fee adjustments and lower volume discounts and incentives. The RPC on index options and futures contracts increased by 4 percent and 7 percent, respectively. With respect to the shift in the volume mix, the highest RPC product categories, index options and futures contracts, accounted for a higher percent of trading volume at 37.2 percent in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 33.9 percent in the second quarter of 2014.

The average revenue per contract represents total transaction fee revenue divided by total reported trading volume for Chicago Board Options Exchange® (CBOE®), C2 Options ExchangeSM (C2SM) and CBOE Futures ExchangeSM (CFE®).
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $75.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, up $1.1 million or 2 percent, compared with $74.2 million for the same period in 2014. Operating expenses for the quarter reflect the net impact of higher costs for professional fees and outside services, royalty fees and depreciation and amortization and lower costs for compensation and benefits. There were no adjustments to operating expenses in the second quarter of 2015 or 2014.
The company's core operating expenses, which include total operating expenses less volume-based expenses, depreciation and amortization, accelerated stock-based compensation expense and unusual or one-time expenses, were $46.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, down $1.8 million, or 4 percent, compared with last year's second quarter. The decrease in core operating expenses primarily reflects a decrease of $6.2 million in compensation and benefits offset somewhat by an increase of $4.7 million in professional fees and outside services. The decline in compensation and benefits largely reflects lower expenses related to salaries, stock-based compensation and incentive compensation. The increase in professional fees and outside services, as well as the decrease in salaries, is primarily attributed to the company's outsourcing of certain regulatory services to FINRA, which occurred in December of 2014.
Volume-based expenses, which include royalty fees and order-routing fees, were $17.4 million in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.6 million or 10 percent, compared with the same period last year. This increase includes higher royalty fees of $2.1 million, partially offset by lower order-routing fees of $0.5 million. The increase in royalty fees was primarily due to a shift in the mix of licensed products traded, which resulted in an increase in the average royalty rate per licensed contract.
Operating Margin
The company's operating margin increased by 90 basis points to 49.3 percent for the second quarter of 2015 compared with 48.4 percent for the second quarter of 2014. The margin increase was due to leverage gained from a higher revenue base.
Effective Tax Rate
The company reported an effective tax rate of 39.1 percent for the current quarter compared with 38.1 percent in last year's second quarter. Year to date, the company's effective tax rate is 39.0 percent, in line with its guidance range for the full-year 2015 of 38.5 percent to 39.5 percent.

2015 Fiscal Year Financial Guidance
The company reaffirmed its guidance for the 2015 fiscal year as follows:
