Item 8.01 Other Information
Selected Financial Information
As previously disclosed in Interactive Brokers Group, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 8, 2017, and in subsequent filings, the Company intended to eliminate the reporting of separate operating business segments upon its determination that the continued wind-down of the Company’s market making activity rendered it no longer reportable as a business segment. Pursuant to the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” the Company performed a quantitative and a qualitative assessment of its business and determined that its remaining market making activity no longer supports the Company’s reporting of separate business segments. Accordingly, effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company discontinued the reporting of separate business segments. Since the Company’s decision to wind down its market making activities, management has continued to shift its focus to growing and strengthening the Company’s electronic brokerage business. The Company believes the elimination of segment reporting aligns its financial reporting with its business strategy and management’s focus on the electronic brokerage business. In addition, the Company changed the presentation of its consolidated statements of comprehensive income to better align with its business strategy. As a result, the Company made the following changes to the presentation of its consolidated statement of comprehensive income:
Other fees and services – reclassified previously reported amounts as other income to other fees and services, which includes market data fees, account activity fees, risk exposure fees, order flow income from options exchange-mandated programs, and revenues from other fees and services.
Other income – reclassified previously reported as trading gains to other income as a component of “principal transactions.” Other income includes gains (losses) from principal transactions; the impact of the currency diversification strategy; gains (losses) from equity method investments; and other revenues not directly attributable to the Company’s core business offerings.
The Company has determined that the discontinuation of reporting separate business segments and the change in presentation of its consolidated statements of comprehensive income does not constitute a material change as per Item 11(a) of Form S-3. The change in presentation of its consolidated statements of comprehensive income did not change the amounts reported as total net revenues or net income for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018, and 2019 disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated statements of comprehensive income reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.
The Company is providing this selected financial information to provide investors and other users of the Company’s financial statements with the most recent presentation of its consolidated statements of comprehensive income on a historical basis.
The following table shows the impact of the change in presentation to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on selected historical financial and other data of the Company for the periods indicated:
