Forward guidance
The company updated its guidance for the 2020 fiscal year, taking into account acquisitions completed through September 30, 2020, and investment in launching pan-European derivatives trading and clearing.
Tailwinds
- Adjusted operating expenses are now expected to be in the range of $415 to $420 million, down from the previous guidance of $436 to $444 million, primarily reflecting lower compensation costs, including incentive-based compensation, professional fees and travel and marketing expenses.
- The guidance excludes the amortization of acquired intangible assets, which is now expected to be $124 million versus prior guidance of $120 million. The company plans to include this amount in its non-GAAP reconciliation.
- Depreciation and amortization expense, which is included in adjusted operating expenses above, is now expected to be in the range of $32 to $36 million, down from previous guidance of $34 to $38 million, excluding the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets of $124 million.
- The decrease reflects a lower level of capital spending.
- Capital expenditures are now expected to be in the range of $45 to $50 million, down compared to prior guidance of $65 to $70 million, reflecting a shift in the timing of certain expenditures, as well as lower spending for certain projects.
Headwinds
- The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings for the full year is now expected to be in the range of 27.0 to 29.0 percent, up from the prior range of 26.5 to 28.5 percent, which incorporates a higher tax rate for the third quarter.
- Significant changes in trading volume, expenses, federal, state and local tax laws or rates and other items could materially impact this expectation.
- The company believes that there is uncertainty and unpredictability with respect to certain of its GAAP measures, primarily related to acquisition-related expenses that would be required to reconcile to GAAP operating expenses and GAAP effective tax rate, which preclude the company from providing accurate guidance on certain forward-looking GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.
- The company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the company’s adjusted operating expenses and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.
- Launching pan-European derivatives trading and clearing is subject to regulatory approval.
