Definitions

Revenue growth

We measure revenue growth in terms of organic revenue growth, acquisition related revenue growth and foreign currency impact on revenue growth. We define these components as follows:

Organic – Revenue growth from continuing operations from factors other than acquisitions and foreign currency fluctuations. We derive organic revenue growth from the development of new products and

services, increased penetration of existing products and services to new and existing customers, price changes for our products and services and market driven factors such as increased trading volumes or

changes in customer assets under management.

Acquisition related – Revenue growth from acquired businesses through the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the acquisition was completed. This growth results from our strategy of

making targeted acquisitions that facilitate growth by complementing our existing products and services and addressing market opportunities.

Foreign currency – The impact on revenue growth resulting from the difference between current revenue at current exchange rates and current revenue at the corresponding prior period exchange rates.

Revenue by type

Revenue by type is how we classify the income recognised from the sale of our products and services into three groups as defined below:

Recurring fixed revenue – Revenue generated from contracts specifying a fixed fee for services delivered over the life of the contract. The fixed fee is typically paid annually, semiannually or quarterly in

advance. These contracts are typically subscription contracts where the revenue is recognised across the life of the contract. The initial term of these contracts can range from one to five years and usually

includes auto-renewal clauses.

Recurring variable revenue – Revenue derived from contracts that specify a fee for services which is typically not fixed. The variable fee is typically paid monthly in arrears. Recurring variable revenue is

based on, among other factors, the number of trades processed, assets under management or the number of positions we value. Many of these contracts do not have a maturity date while the remainder have

an initial term ranging from one to five years.

Non-recurring revenue – Revenue that relates to certain software license sales and the associated consulting revenue.

Other Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit for the period from continuing operations before income taxes, net finance costs, depreciation and amortisation on fixed assets and intangible assets (including acquisition

related intangible assets), acquisition related items, exceptional items, share-based compensation and net other gains or losses and excluding Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interests.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue, excluding revenue attributable to non-controlling interests.

LTM Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA for the previous twelve month period from date reported

Adjusted Earnings is defined as profit for the period from continuing operations before amortisation of acquired intangibles, acquisition related items, exceptional items, share-based compensation, net other

gains or losses and unwind of discount, less the tax effect of these adjustments and excluding Adjusted Earnings attributable to non-controlling interests.

Adjusted EPS diluted is defined as Adjusted Earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding, diluted.
