Updated Expense Guidance
ICE expects 1Q26 GAAP operating expenses to be in the range of $1.280 billion to $1.290 billion. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses (1) for 1Q26 are expected to be in the range of $1.030 billion to $1.040 billion. Full year GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $5.095 billion to $5.145 billion. Full year non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses (1) are expected to be in the range of $4.145 billion to $4.195 billion. Revised adjusted expense guidance is driven by strong revenues related to robust trading volumes, with the incremental expense expected to be more than offset by the related revenues.
