Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, ebitda, non-gaap, rule 10b5-1 plan, +4 more

8 terms

adjusted ebitda financial

"Q1 Adjusted EBITDA of $66.1 million (+66% YoY); Adjusted EBITDA margin of 51%"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

ebitda financial

"EBITDA | $ 103,794 | $ (11,905) | **"

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.

non-gaap financial

"* Reconciliation of non-GAAP results is included in the tables below."

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

rule 10b5-1 plan regulatory

"All transactions were made under a previously established Rule 10b5-1 Plan adopted on December 29, 2025."

A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a prearranged, written schedule that lets corporate insiders buy or sell company stock at set times or amounts, even if they later learn material nonpublic information. Think of it like setting an automatic thermostat for trades: it creates a clear record that trades were planned in advance, reducing the risk of insider-trading accusations and helping investors trust that insider transactions are routine rather than based on secret information.

form 4 regulatory

"[Form 4] MIAMI INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. Insider Trading Activity"

Form 4 is a official document that company insiders, such as executives or major shareholders, file with regulators whenever they buy or sell company shares. It provides transparency about how those with inside knowledge are trading, helping investors see if insiders are confident in the company's prospects or may be selling for personal reasons. This information can influence investor decisions by revealing insiders' perspectives on the company's value.

form 144 regulatory

"[144] MIAMI INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. SEC Filing"

Form 144 is a document that investors must file with the government when they plan to sell a large number of shares of a company's stock. It helps ensure transparency so everyone knows how many shares are being sold and when, which can impact the stock's price.

deferred tax asset valuation allowance financial

"income tax benefit of $70.2 million, primarily resulting from the release of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance."

A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is a reserve a company sets aside to account for the possibility that some of its future tax savings might not actually happen. It’s like saving money in case a promised discount or refund doesn’t materialize, ensuring the company’s financial picture stays accurate and honest.

adjusted eps financial

"Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as adjusted earnings divided by diluted weighted average shares"

Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted eps) is a measure of a company's profit per share that has been modified to exclude certain one-time or unusual items, such as costs from restructuring or asset sales. It provides a clearer picture of the company’s core performance by removing events that may distort the usual earnings. Investors use adjusted eps to better understand a company's ongoing profitability and compare it more accurately over time.

PRINCETON, N.J. and MIAMI, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Miami International Holdings, Inc. (MIAX) (NYSE: MIAX), a technology-driven leader in building and operating regulated financial markets across multiple asset classes, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

MIAX achieved record quarterly revenue and strong financial performance in Q1 2026. Total net revenue grew 40% year-over-year to $128.6 million, adjusted EBITDA increased 66% to $66.1 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 800 basis points to 51%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.42. The company also capitalized on elevated market volatility in Q1, increasing market share in multi-listed options to 17.3% in Q1 2026 from 16.0% in the prior year period, representing average daily volume of 10.9 million contracts and a 27% year-over-year increase.

"We came out of the gate strong in Q1, delivering record quarterly revenue and continued margin expansion while executing well across all of our business segments," said Thomas P. Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MIAX. "Our strong results reflect the scalability of our technology platform, the resilience of our business model, and the momentum we carry into what we expect will be another exciting year of growth and product innovation."

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

All figures are compared to the first quarter of 2025 unless otherwise stated.

• Net revenue, defined as revenues less cost of revenues, grew 40%, or $36.7 million, to $128.6 million, compared to $91.9 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by strong options business performance, including increased industry volumes and market share, as well as higher non-transaction revenue.
• Total operating expenses were $82.6 million, compared to $69.6 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to planned investments in headcount and technology to support our growth initiatives, timing of employer-related payroll taxes, and increased legal expenses, partially offset by lower regulatory costs.
• Operating income more than doubled to $46.0 million, compared to $22.3 million in the prior-year period.
• Non-operating income of $54.1 million includes a $50.5 million gain on the sale of MIAXdx.
• We had an income tax benefit of $70.2 million, primarily resulting from the release of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
• GAAP net income was $170.2 million, compared to a net loss of $21.4 million in the prior-year period.
• Adjusted earnings increased 51% to $45.3 million, compared to $30.0 million in the prior-year period.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 66% to $66.1 million, compared to $39.9 million in the prior-year period, driven primarily by strong growth in net revenues.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 51% from 43% in the prior-year period.

First Quarter 2026 Business Updates

• MIAX options exchanges reached average daily volume of 10.9 million contracts in the first quarter of 2026, a 26.6% year-over-year (YoY) increase.

• Completed the sale of 90% of the issued and outstanding equity in MIAXdx in January 2026 to a joint venture established by Robinhood Markets, Inc. in partnership with Susquehanna International Group. MIAX retained 10% of the issued and outstanding equity of MIAXdx, now known as Rothera Exchange and Clearing LLC.

Options

• Net revenue grew 37% to $111.3 million, compared to $81.2 million in the prior-year period. Growth was primarily driven by higher net transaction fees tied to increased industry volume, higher market share, and higher revenue per contract (RPC). Higher non-transaction fees were primarily driven by increased  member connections, 2026 fee increases, the expiration of certain MIAX Sapphire related fee waivers, and new market data products.
• Operating income increased 44% to $72.8 million, compared to $50.6 million in the prior-year period. Growth was primarily due to higher net revenues.
• Adjusted EBITDA grew 43% to $83.3 million, compared to $58.2 million in the prior-year period.

Equities

• Net revenue grew 82% to $6.7 million, compared to $3.7 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher net transaction fees from improved pricing as Equities capture was positive for the quarter as compared to historically inverted.
• Operating loss of $1.1 million in the first quarter, compared to an operating loss of $4.0 million in the prior-year period. Growth was primarily due to higher net revenues.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million, compared to ($1.7) million in the prior-year period.

Futures

• Net revenue was $4.6 million, compared to $5.9 million in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily due to a decline in transaction fees and lower volumes caused by timing of participant migrations to MIAX Futures Onyx, reduced commodity market volatility, and lower RPC, partially offset by the elimination of expenses related to CME Globex. Also contributing to the decrease were lower listings fees and interest income.
• Operating loss was $12.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $11.3 million in the prior-year period primarily due to lower revenue.
• Adjusted EBITDA of ($8.6) million, compared to ($7.2) million in the prior-year period.

International

• Net revenue was $5.6 million, compared to $0.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of The International Stock Exchange Group Limited (TISE) in June 2025.
• Operating income was $1.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the TISE acquisition.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million, compared to ($1.0) million in the prior-year period.

Capital and Liquidity

• As of March 31, 2026, MIAX had cash and cash equivalents of $550.8 million and total debt of $1.5 million.

FY 2026 Guidance
