Operating Revenues
Operating revenues increased $248.1 million, or 47%, to $776.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $528.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Operating revenues derived from listed derivatives increased $1.5 million, or 1%, to $107.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $106.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was principally due to a 9% increase in the average rate per contract, partially offset by a 5% decline in listed derivative contract volumes compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Operating revenues derived from OTC derivatives increased $21.7 million, or 43%, to $71.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $50.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This was the result of a 46% increase in OTC derivative contract volumes, partially offset by a 2% decline in the average rate per contract compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Operating revenues derived from securities transactions increased $117.8 million, or 76%, to $272.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $154.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was principally due to a 33% increase in ADV, as well as a significant increase in interest rates. Carried interest on fixed income securities is a component of operating revenues, however interest expense associated with financing these positions is not. As a result of the significant increase in short-term interest rates, we amended our calculation of the Securities RPM, in the table above, to present the RPM after deducting from operating revenues the interest expense associated with our fixed income activities. Net operating revenues derived from securities transactions decreased $26.4 million, or 27%, to $70.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $96.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decline was principally due to a 43% decline in the RPM resulting from the tightening of spreads and a change in product mix.
Operating revenues derived from FX/CFD contracts declined $14.7 million, or 17%, to $72.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $86.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, principally due to a 20% decline in the FX/CFD contracts ADV, partially offset by a 5% increase in the FX/CFD RPM.
Operating revenues from global payments increased $9.9 million, or 23%, to $52.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $42.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, principally driven by a 21% increase in the RPM, partially offset by a 2% decrease in the ADV.
Operating revenues derived from physical contracts increased $30.2 million, or 59%, to $81.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $50.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was principally due to strong growth in our physical agricultural and energy business as a result of increased activity in biodiesel feedstock markets as well the acquisition of CDI, effective October 31, 2022.
Interest and fee income earned on client balances, which is associated with our listed and OTC derivatives, correspondent clearing, and independent wealth management product offerings, increased $70.7 million, or 329%, to $92.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $21.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This was principally driven by a significant increase in short-term interest rates.

Total interest expense$230.9 $38.8 495 %$593.2 $91.0 552 %
The increase in interest expense attributable to trading activities was principally due to the effect of the significant increase in short-term interest rates, most notably in our fixed income business, as well as an increase in client balances on which we pay interest.
The increase in interest expense attributable to corporate funding was principally due to higher short-term interest rates on our revolving credit facility as well as an increase in average borrowings.

Our variable expenses include variable compensation paid to traders and risk management consultants, bonuses paid to operational, administrative and executive employees, transaction-based clearing expenses and introducing broker commissions. We seek to make non-interest expenses variable to the greatest extent possible, and to keep our fixed costs as low as possible.



Impact of the Gain on Acquisition and Related Amortization
On October 31, 2022, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, StoneX Netherlands B.V., acquired CDI-Societe Cotonniere De Distribution S.A (“CDI”), based in Switzerland. CDI operates a global cotton merchant business with clients and producers in Brazil and West Africa as well as buyers throughout Asia. The results of the nine months ended June 30, 2023 include a non-taxable gain of $23.5 million related to the acquisition. The results of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets related to the acquisition.
The Company acquired Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. effective August 1, 2020. The results of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets, related to the acquisition.
When evaluating acquisitions, management considers the gain on acquisition and the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of these acquisitions.
The following table presents income before tax, income tax expense, and net income as reported in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The following table also presents adjusted income before tax, adjusted income tax expense, and adjusted net income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The “adjusted” non-GAAP financial measures reflect each item after removing the impact of the gain on acquisition and the related amortization expense of the intangible assets for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the gain on acquisition and the related amortization expense is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.

Total unallocated costs and other expenses increased $12.6 million, or 15%, to $99.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $86.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Compensation and benefits increased $12.6 million, or 28%, to $57.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $44.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The increase in non-variable compensation is principally related to the move of certain client engagement teams out of discrete business lines and into shared services, and replacing compensation expense in those discrete business lines with a non-variable charge. Additionally, the increase in non-variable compensation is partially a result of hiring among our compliance and IT departments, principally due to company growth, and within the accounting department, principally due to the acquisition of CDI. Average administrative headcount increased 30% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in variable compensation is principally due to improved performance.
Overall, other non-compensation expenses were relatively unchanged at $42.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Most notably, selling and marketing fees were lower due principally to the bi-annual global sales and strategy meeting held in March 2022, while non-trading technology maintenance and support, for the various systems used by the support services departments, and travel and business development increased.

Appendix A
The Company acquired CDI effective October 31, 2022, and the results of the nine months ended June 30, 2023 include a non-taxable gain of $23.5 million. The results of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets, related to the acquisition. The Company acquired Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. effective August 1, 2020. The results of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 include amortization expense related to identified intangible assets, related to the acquisition.
The “adjusted” non-GAAP amounts reflect each item after removing the impact of the gain on acquisition and related amortization expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the gain on acquisition and related amortization expense is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.
