Forward guidance
Cboe provided financial guidance for the 2020 fiscal year, which does not account for the planned acquisition of EuroCCP and investment in launching pan-European trading and clearing.
Tailwinds
- Adjusted operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $435 to $443 million, reflecting the company’s recent acquisitions of Hanweck and FT Options.
- Depreciation and amortization expense are expected to be in the range of $34 to $38 million, excluding the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets of $120 million.
- The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings for the full year is expected to be in the range of 26.5 to 28.5 percent.
- Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $65 to $70 million, which includes expenditures associated with the company’s Chicago headquarters relocation occurring later this year and its trading floor relocation planned for 2021.
- Company plans to update its guidance for 2020 after the acquisition closes, which is expected in the first half of this year.
