FXCM Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2013 Results Releases July 2013 Operating Metrics


    FXCM Inc. (NYSE: FXCM), a leading online provider of foreign exchange, or FX, trading and related services, today announced for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, revenues of $140.1 million, compared to $91.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 53%. U.S. GAAP net income attributable to FXCM Inc. was $10.1 million for the Second Quarter 2013 or $0.32 per fully diluted FXCM Inc. Class A share, compared to a loss of $1.4 million or $0.06 per FXCM Inc. Class A share for the Second Quarter 2012.

    Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA for the Second Quarter 2013 was $54.5 million, compared to $21.0 million for the Second Quarter 2012, an increase of 159%. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income was $23.3 million or $0.31 per share for the Second Quarter 2013, compared to $7.9 million or $0.11 per fully diluted, fully exchanged share for the Second Quarter 2012, an increase of 196% and 182% respectively.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenues were $263.0 million, compared to $194.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 35%. U.S. GAAP net income attributable to FXCM Inc. was $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 or $0.55 per fully diluted FXCM Inc. Class A share, compared to $1.4 million or $0.07 per FXCM Inc. Class A share for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

    Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $98.3 million, compared to $45.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 114%. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income was $40.8 million or $0.54 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $20.4 million or $0.28 per fully diluted, fully exchanged share for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 100% and 93%, respectively.

    “FXCM turned in one of its best quarters with record revenues and our second highest EBITDA ever – only slightly below the fourth quarter of 2008, when volatility spiked to levels more than double what we saw in the second quarter,” said Drew Niv, Chief Executive Officer. “We have expanded the scale of our business to the point that we were able to deliver outstanding results in a much more moderate climate.”

    “We now have $374 million of cash and are undrawn on our $155 million credit facility – leaving us with plenty of liquidity to pursue acquisitions,” he added.

    Adjusted Pro Forma results assume the conversion and exchange of all FXCM Holdings, LLC Units into FXCM Inc. Class A common stock, resulting in the elimination of the non-controlling interest and the corresponding adjustment to the entity’s tax provision. In addition, Adjusted Pro Forma results eliminate certain non-recurring charges and equity based compensation expense regarding a grant of stock options at the time of FXCM’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in December 2010 and reclassifies the allocation of earnings of Lucid non-controlling members recorded as compensation expense to net income attributable to non-controlling interest.
