INVESTMENT TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Investment Technology Group, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation on July 22, 1983. Its principal subsidiaries include: (1) ITG Inc., AlterNet Securities, Inc. (“AlterNet”) and ITG Derivatives LLC (“ITG Derivatives”), institutional broker-dealers in the United States (“U.S.”), (2) Investment Technology Group Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Europe, (3) ITG Australia Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Australia, (4) ITG Canada Corp., an institutional broker-dealer in Canada, (5) ITG Hong Kong Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Hong Kong, (6) ITG Software Solutions, Inc., our intangible property, software development and maintenance subsidiary in the U.S., and (7) ITG Solutions Network, Inc., a holding company for ITG Analytics, Inc., a provider of pre- and post-trade analysis, fair value and trade optimization services, ITG Investment Research, Inc., a provider of independent data-driven investment research, and ITG Platforms Inc., a provider of trade order and execution management technology and network connectivity services for the financial community.

ITG is an independent execution and research broker that partners with global portfolio managers and traders to provide unique data-driven insights throughout the investment process. From investment decision through to settlement, ITG helps clients understand market trends, improve performance, mitigate risk and navigate increasingly complex markets. A leader in electronic trading since launching the POSIT crossing network in 1987, ITG takes a consultative approach in delivering the highest quality institutional liquidity, execution services, analytical tools and proprietary research. The firm is headquartered in New York with offices in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region.

Our business is organized into four reportable operating segments (see Note 14, Segment Reporting, to the condensed consolidated financial statements):

·U.S. Operations

·Canadian Operations

·European Operations and

·Asia Pacific Operations.

Our four operating segments offer a wide range of solutions for asset managers and broker-dealers in the areas of electronic brokerage; research, sales and trading; platforms; and analytics. These offerings include trade execution services and solutions for portfolio management, as well as investment research, pre-trade analytics and post-trade analytics and processing.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of results.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (as amended).

(2) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, various methods are used including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability are

8

used, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. Valuation techniques that are used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, fair value measured financial instruments are categorized according to the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

·Level 1: Fair value measurements using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

·Level 2: Fair value measurements using correlation with (directly or indirectly) observable market-based inputs, unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

·Level 3: Fair value measurements using inputs that are significant and not readily observable in the market.

Level 1 consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded mutual funds and listed equities.

Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued based upon observable market-based inputs.

Level 3 is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are generally less readily observable.

Fair value measurements for those items measured on a recurring basis are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Total	$	2,953	$	2,953	$	—	$	—

Cash and cash equivalents other than bank deposits are measured at fair value and primarily include U.S. government money market mutual funds.

Securities owned, at fair value and securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value include corporate stocks, equity index mutual funds and bond mutual funds, all of which are exchange traded.

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Assets and liabilities that are recorded at contracted amounts approximating fair value consist primarily of receivables from and payables to brokers, dealers, clearing organizations and customers. These receivables and payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations are short-term in nature, and following March 31, 2014, substantially all have settled at the contracted amounts.

The Company believes the carrying amounts of its term-debt obligations at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximate fair value because the interest rates on these instruments change with, or approximate, market interest rates.

The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

11

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, no uncertain tax positions were resolved.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken of $15.5 million and $13.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The Company had accrued interest expense of $2.4 million and $2.2 million, net of related tax effects, related to unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

(7) Intangibles

Amortization expense for definite-lived intangibles was $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are included in other general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, no intangibles were deemed impaired, and accordingly, no adjustment was required.

Securities Borrowed and Loaned

As of March 31, 2014, securities borrowed as part of the Company’s matched book operations with a fair value of $653.7 million were delivered for securities loaned. The gross amounts of interest earned on cash provided to counterparties as collateral for securities borrowed, and interest incurred on cash received from counterparties as collateral for securities loaned, and the resulting net amount included in other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Interest earned	$	4,403		$	2,926
Interest incurred	(3,066		)	(2,053		)
Net	$	1,337		$	873

Deposits paid for securities borrowed and deposits received for securities loaned are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Deposits paid for securities borrowed transactions require the Company to deposit cash with the lender. With respect to deposits received for securities loaned, the Company receives collateral in the form of cash in an amount generally in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded, as necessary.

The Company’s securities borrowing and lending is generally done under industry standard agreements (“Master Securities Lending Agreements”) that may allow, following an event of default by either party, the prompt close-out of all transactions (including the liquidation of securities held) and the offsetting of obligations to return cash or securities, as the case may be, by the non-defaulting party. Events of default under the Master Securities Lending Agreements generally include, subject to certain conditions: (i) failure to timely deliver cash or securities as required under the transaction, (ii) a party’s insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceeding, (iii) breach of representation, and (iv) a material breach of the agreement. The counterparty that receives the securities in these transactions generally has unrestricted access in its use of the securities.  For financial statement purposes, the Company does not offset securities borrowed and securities loaned.

In accordance with ASU 2013-01, the following table summarizes the transactions under certain Master Securities Lending Agreements that may be eligible for offsetting if an event of default occurred and a right of offset was legally enforceable (dollars in thousands):

	Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets/ (Liabilities)			Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition		Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition			Collateral Received or Pledged (including Cash)			Net Amount
As of March 31, 2014:
Deposits paid for securities borrowed	$	677,413		$	—	$	677,413		$	676,994		$	419

(10) Borrowings

Short-term Bank Loans

The Company’s international securities clearance and settlement activities are funded with operating cash or with short-term bank loans in the form of overdraft facilities.  At March 31, 2014, there was $27.1 million outstanding under these facilities at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.0%, associated with international settlement activities.

In the U.S., securities clearance and settlement activities are funded with operating cash, securities loaned or with short-term bank loans under a committed credit agreement.   ITG Inc. as borrower, and Investment Technology Group, Inc. (“Parent Company”) as guarantor, maintained a $150 million three-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent that matured on January 31, 2014.  On January 31, 2014, ITG Inc. as borrower, and Parent Company as guarantor entered into a new $150 million two-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows for potential expansion of the facility up to $225 million. At March 31, 2014, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Term Debt

At March 31, 2014, term debt is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

Term loan	$	7,428
Obligations under capital lease	19,784
Total	$	27,212

On June 1, 2011, Parent Company as borrower, entered into a $25.5 million Master Loan and Security Agreement (“Term Loan Agreement”) with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“Bank of America”). The four-year term loan established under this agreement (“Term Loan”) is secured by a security interest in existing furniture, fixtures and equipment owned by the Parent Company and certain U.S. subsidiaries as of June 1, 2011. The primary purpose of this financing was to provide capital for strategic initiatives.

Along with the Term Loan Agreement, Parent Company entered into a $5.0 million master lease facility with Bank of America (“Master Lease Agreement”), under which purchases of new equipment may be financed. Each equipment lease under the Master Lease Agreement is structured as a capital lease and has a separate 48-month term from its inception date, at the end of which Parent Company may purchase the underlying equipment for $1.

On August 10, 2012, Parent Company entered into a $25.0 million master lease facility with BMO Harris Equipment Finance Company (“BMO”) to finance equipment and construction expenditures related to the build-out of the Company’s new headquarters in lower Manhattan. The amount borrowed of $21.2 million has a 3.39% fixed-rate term financing structured as a capital lease with a 48-month term, at the end of which Parent Company may purchase the underlying assets for $1.

Deferred taxes have not been provided on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or the cumulative translation adjustment related to those investments since there is currently no need to repatriate funds from certain foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. by way of dividends.

(13) Net Capital Requirement

ITG Inc., AlterNet and ITG Derivatives are subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital.  ITG Inc. has elected to use the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that ITG Inc. maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions, as defined. AlterNet and ITG Derivatives have elected to use the basic method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that they each maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness or $100,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. Dividends or withdrawals of capital cannot be made if capital is needed to comply with regulatory requirements.

Net capital balances and the amounts in excess of required net capital at March 31, 2014 for the U.S. Operations are as follows (dollars in millions):

	Net Capital		Excess Net Capital
U.S. Operations
ITG Inc.	$	88.6	$	87.6
AlterNet	5.4		5.2
ITG Derivatives	4.2		3.2

As of March 31, 2014, ITG Inc. had a $10.6 million cash balance in a Special Reserve Bank Account for the benefit of customers under the Customer Protection Rule pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3, Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and $0.4 million under PABs.

In addition, the Company’s Canadian, European and Asia Pacific Operations have subsidiaries with regulatory capital requirements. The regulatory net capital balances and amount of regulatory capital in excess of the minimum requirements applicable to each business at March 31, 2014, is summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

(14) Segment Reporting

The Company is organized into four geographic operating segments through which the Company’s chief operating decision maker manages the Company’s business. The U.S., Canadian, European and Asia Pacific Operations segments provide the following categories of products and services:

·Electronic Brokerage — includes self-directed trading using algorithms, smart routing and matching through POSIT in cash equities (including single stocks and portfolio lists), futures and options

·Research, Sales and Trading — includes (a) differentiated, unbiased, data-driven equity research through the use of innovative data mining and analysis, as well as detailed analysis of energy asset plays, and (b) portfolio trading and high-touch trading desks providing execution expertise and trading ideas based on investment research

·Platforms — includes trade order and execution management software applications in addition to network connectivity

·Analytics — includes tools enabling portfolio managers and traders to improve pre-trade and real-time execution performance, portfolio construction and optimization decisions and securities valuation.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company allocates resources to, and evaluates the performance of, its reportable segments based on income or loss before income tax expense. Consistent with the Company’s resource allocation and operating performance evaluation approach, the effects of inter-segment activities are eliminated except in limited circumstances where certain technology related costs are allocated to a segment to support that segment’s revenue producing activities. Commissions and fees revenue for trade executions and commission share revenues are principally attributed to each segment based upon the location of execution of the related transaction. Recurring revenues are principally attributed based upon the location of the client using the respective service.

A summary of the segment financial information is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	U.S. Operations		Canadian Operations		European Operations		Asia Pacific Operations			Consolidated

(15)Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is a member of various U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and clearing houses that trade and clear equities and/or derivative contracts. The Company also accesses certain clearing houses through the memberships of third parties. Associated with these memberships and third-party relationships, the Company may be required to pay a proportionate share of financial obligations of another member who may default on its obligations to the exchanges or the clearing houses. While the rules governing different exchange or clearing house memberships vary, in general, the Company’s obligations would arise only if the exchanges and clearing houses had previously exhausted other remedies. The maximum potential payout under these memberships cannot be estimated. The Company has not recorded any contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these agreements and believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these agreements is remote. In the ordinary course of business, the Company guarantees obligations of subsidiaries which may arise from third-party clearing relationships and trading counterparties. The activities of the subsidiaries covered by these guarantees are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s customer financing and securities settlement activities may require the Company to pledge customer securities as collateral in support of various secured financing transactions such as bank loans. In the event the counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return customer securities pledged as collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its customer obligations. The Company controls this risk by monitoring the market value of securities pledged on a daily basis and by requiring adjustments of collateral levels in the event of excess market exposure.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, securities owned at fair value, receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and receivables from customers. Cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, at fair value are deposited with high credit quality financial institutions.

The Company loans securities temporarily to other brokers in connection with its securities lending activities. The Company receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security prices may cause the market value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company controls this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis, and by requiring additional cash as collateral or returning collateral when necessary.

The Company borrows securities temporarily from other brokers in connection with its securities borrowing activities. The Company deposits cash as collateral for the securities borrowed. Decreases in security prices may cause the market value of the securities borrowed to fall below the amount of cash deposited as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of selling the securities at prevailing market prices. The Company controls this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the collateral values on a daily basis, and by depositing additional collateral with counterparties or receiving cash when deemed necessary.

The Company may at times maintain inventories in equity securities on both a long and short basis. Whereas long inventory positions represent the Company’s ownership of securities, short inventory positions represent obligations of the Company to deliver specified securities at a contracted price, which may differ from market prices prevailing at the time of completion of the transaction. Accordingly, both long and short inventory positions may result in losses or gains to the Company as market values of securities fluctuate. To mitigate the risk of losses, long and short positions are marked to market daily and are continuously monitored by the Company.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto.

17

Overview

ITG is an independent execution and research broker that partners with global portfolio managers and traders to provide innovative financial technology and unique data-driven insights throughout the investment process. From investment decision through settlement, ITG helps clients understand market trends, improve performance, mitigate risk and navigate increasingly complex markets. A leader in electronic trading since launching the POSIT crossing network in 1987, ITG takes a consultative approach in delivering the highest quality institutional liquidity, execution services, analytical tools and proprietary research. ITG is headquartered in New York with offices in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

Our business is organized into four reportable operating segments: U.S. Operations, Canadian Operations, European Operations and Asia Pacific Operations (see Note 14, Segment Reporting, to the consolidated financial statements). Our four operating segments provide the following categories of products and services:

·Electronic Brokerage — includes self-directed trading using algorithms, smart routing and matching through POSIT in cash equities (including single stocks and portfolio lists), futures and options

·Research, Sales and Trading — includes (a) differentiated, unbiased, data-driven equity research through the use of innovative data mining and analysis, as well as detailed analysis of energy asset plays, and (b) portfolio trading and high-touch trading desks providing execution expertise and trading ideas based on investment research

·Platforms — includes trade order and execution management software applications in addition to network connectivity

·Analytics — includes tools enabling portfolio managers and traders to improve pre-trade and real-time execution performance, portfolio construction and optimization decisions and securities valuation

Sources of Revenues

Revenues from our products and services are generated from commissions and fees, recurring (subscriptions) and other sources.

Commissions and fees are derived primarily from (i) commissions charged for trade execution services, (ii) income generated on net executions, whereby equity orders are filled at different prices within or at the National Best Bid and Offer (“NBBO”) and (iii) commission sharing arrangements between ITG Net (our private value-added FIX-based financial electronic communications network) and third-party brokers and alternative trading systems whose trading products are made available to our clients on our order management system (“OMS”) and execution management system (“EMS”) applications in addition to commission sharing arrangements for our ITG Single Ticket Clearing Service. Because commissions are earned on a per-transaction basis, such revenues fluctuate from period to period depending on (a) the volume of securities traded through our services in the U.S. and Canada, (b) the contract value of securities traded in Europe and the Asia Pacific region and (c) our commission rates. Certain factors that affect our volumes and contract values traded include: (i) macro trends in the global equities markets that affect overall institutional equity trading activity, (ii) competitive pressure, including pricing, created by a proliferation of electronic execution competitors and (iii) potential changes in market structure in the U.S. and other regions. In addition to share volume, revenues from net executions are also impacted by the width of spreads within the NBBO. Trade orders are delivered to us from our OMS and EMS products and other vendors’ products, direct computer-to-computer links to customers through ITG Net and third-party networks and phone orders from our customers.

Recurring revenues are derived from the following primary sources: (i) connectivity fees generated through ITG Net for the ability of the sell-side to receive orders from, and send indications of interest to, the buy-side, (ii) software and analytical products and services, (iii) maintenance and customer technical support for our OMS and (iv) subscription revenue generated from providing investment research.

Other revenues include: (i) income from principal trading in Canada, including arbitrage trading, (ii) the net spread on foreign exchange transactions executed to facilitate equity trades by clients in different currencies, (iii) the net interest spread earned on securities borrowed and loaned matched book transactions, (iv) non-recurring consulting services, such as one-time implementation and customer training related activities, (v) investment and interest income, (vi) interest income on securities borrowed in connection with customers’ settlement activities and (vii) market gains/losses resulting from temporary positions in securities assumed in the normal course of our agency trading business (including client errors and accommodations).

18

Expenses

Compensation and employee benefits, our largest expense, consists of salaries and wages, incentive compensation, including cash and deferred share-based awards, as well as employee benefits and taxes. Incentive compensation fluctuates based on revenues, profitability and other measures, taking into account the landscape for key talent. Incentive compensation includes a combination of cash and deferred share-based awards.  Only the cash portion, which represents a lesser portion of our total compensation costs, is expensed in the current period. As a result, our ratio of compensation expense to revenues may fluctuate from period-to-period based on revenue levels.

Transaction processing expense consists of costs to access various third-party execution destinations and to process, clear and settle transactions. These costs tend to fluctuate with share and trade volumes, the mix of trade execution services used by clients and the rates charged by third parties.

Occupancy and equipment expense consists primarily of rent and utilities related to leased premises, office equipment and depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and leasehold improvements.

Telecommunications and data processing expenses primarily consist of costs for obtaining market data, telecommunications services and systems maintenance.

Other general and administrative expenses primarily include software amortization, consulting, business development, professional fees and intangible amortization.

Interest expense consists primarily of costs associated with outstanding debt and credit facilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management uses certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as such term is defined in SEC Regulation G, to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in, or excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, non-GAAP measures may exclude the impact of certain unique and/or non-operating items such as acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring charges, large write-offs or items outside of management’s control. Management believes that the following non-GAAP financial measures described below provide investors and analysts useful insight into our financial position and operating performance.

Adjusted expenses and adjusted net income together with related per share amounts are non-GAAP performance measures that we believe are useful to assist investors in gaining an understanding of the trends and operating results for our core business. These measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, results reported under U.S. GAAP.

Reconciliations of adjusted expenses and adjusted net income to expenses and net income and related per share amounts as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are provided below (dollars in thousands except per share amounts).

Executive Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2014

Consolidated Overview

A second consecutive record quarter of revenues and profitability in Europe, together with a continued focus on cost management drove our earnings per share to the highest level in over four years. We continue to realize the benefits of the targeted investments we have made in our international capabilities and the enhanced operating efficiency we have established through a focus on the profitability of our products and services. Our net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $13.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share compared to net income of $8.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, and adjusted net income of $9.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013 (see Non-GAAP financial measures.). Revenues grew to $137.6 million, 4% higher than the first quarter of 2013 driven by strong growth in Europe. Even with the incremental variable costs associated with higher revenues, we were able to reduce expenses by 2% and 1%, respectively compared to expenses and adjusted expenses in the first quarter of 2013 (see Non-GAAP financial measures).

Our growth in European trading volumes over the first quarter of 2014 significantly outpaced the growth in market-wide trading, contributing to profit levels being three times greater than the amount from the first quarter of 2013. Our European results continue to reflect the investments we made in our infrastructure and in our global product capabilities, including global POSIT Alert, together with the continuation of our cost discipline.

While business conditions in the U.S. are beginning to show signs of improvement, including a 6% growth in market-wide volumes compared to the first quarter of 2013, they are still somewhat challenging as compared to historical standards.  Domestic equity funds saw net inflows of almost $19 billion during the first quarter of 2014 following net inflows of $18 billion during 2013   (according to the Investment Company Institute). While positive, domestic fund flows do not appear to have reached an inflection point following the historic net outflows of $159 billion in 2012 (according to the Investment Company Institute).

Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the U.S. equity trading environment in the foreseeable future, we will continue to look for efficiencies in our business model while we selectively invest in initiatives to grow our business. The measures we have taken to expand our international capabilities and to build further operating leverage into our business model has improved our competitive position relative to other agency brokers and positions us well for the global environment.

Segment Discussions

Despite the 6% increase in the overall combined average daily market volume of NYSE- and NASDAQ-listed securities during the first quarter, our U.S. average daily executed volume during the same period was 164.3 million shares per day, down 15% versus the first quarter of 2013.  While our volumes are predominantly institutional, overall market volumes are heavily influenced by other factors such as the amount of retail and high frequency trading in the mix, as well as the current resurgence of initial public offerings, which provides a near-term competitive advantage to firms who provide both investment banking and brokerage services.  In addition, reported U.S. volumes were also higher in the first quarter of 2014 due to the inclusion of odd lot trades (trades less than 100 shares) in consolidated volume reporting, which began in December 2013.

We partially mitigated the impact of lower volumes with an increase in our average revenue per share. Our first quarter 2014 average U.S. revenue per share was 47 mils, up from 46 mils in the first quarter of 2013, even as the proportion of lower-rate sell-side volume rose to 51% from 49% in the first quarter of 2013. We saw an increase in our average revenue per share from buy-side clients

20

compared to the first quarter of 2013 due in part to the growth in high-touch trading commissions on which we earn higher rates, a higher proportion of our volume coming from clients using our POSIT Alert block crossing system as well as through more clients paying for research through trading at a higher bundled rate. We are also continuing to focus on expense management in the U.S. to enhance profitability, with total U.S. expenses down 6% and 5%, respectively, compared to expenses and adjusted expenses in the first quarter of 2013 (see Non-GAAP financial measures).

Average daily trading volumes on all Canadian markets increased 11% from the first quarter of 2013 while commissions and fees from our Canadian Operations grew by 4% in U.S. dollar terms and 14% in local currency terms. The growth in commissions and fees from our Canadian Operations was driven by significantly higher MATCH Now volumes and an increase in high-touch trading commissions, more than offsetting lower revenue per share from clients using our electronic brokerage services.

Daily European market-wide trading activity was 21% higher compared to the first quarter of 2013 and was at the highest level since the third quarter of 2011. European stock indices continued to move higher during the quarter and there was a continued increase in regional initial public offerings. In this favorable environment, our growth in European commissions and fees of 68% as compared to that of the first quarter of 2013 significantly outpaced the growth in overall market-wide activity due to investments in our local infrastructure and our global product suite as well as our efforts to diversify our client base and grow liquidity in POSIT. Compared to the first quarter of 2013, average daily value executed in POSIT more than doubled, while the average daily value traded in POSIT Alert jumped over 200%. Our record revenues coupled with improved margins from a higher crossing rate in POSIT and our efforts to reduce settlement and clearing costs significantly improved our reported results in the region.

With the exception of Japan, lower market-wide trading activity was seen across all key markets in the Asia-Pacific region with market-wide value traded in Hong Kong, Australia and Korea decreasing 6%, 3% and 6%, respectively, in local currency terms compared to the first quarter of 2013.  Our regional commissions and fees decreased 9%, adversely impacted by the lower overall market trading activity, particularly in Australia, where our value traded fell 27%, reflecting, in part, domestic fund managers allocating commissions to brokers providing research and investment banking in the hope of favorable allocations in anticipation of an active initial public offering market. Our results in the region were also negatively impacted by client trade accommodations of $0.9 million, reducing other revenues.

Capital Resource Allocation

During the first quarter of 2014, we returned $12.7 million to stockholders through the repurchase of 743,800 shares at an average price of $17.10. We intend to continue to use share repurchases to offset dilution from the issuance of stock under employee compensation plans and to opportunistically return capital to stockholders depending on market conditions.

Commissions and fees decreased 10% as a result of a 15% reduction in our average daily trading volumes that was partially offset by a 2% increase in our average revenue per share to $0.0047 and one additional trading day in the current period.  The increase in our average revenue per share was achieved despite an increase in the proportion of volumes being executed by sell-side clients to 51% compared to 49% during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our average revenue per share from buy-side clients increased compared to the first quarter of 2013 due in part to the growth in high-touch trading commissions on which we earn higher rates, a

Recurring revenues increased due to an increase in investment research subscriptions, offset by the impact of client attrition from our OMS product, resulting in lower OMS subscription revenues and connectivity fees.

Other revenues increased $0.2 million due primarily to an increase in revenues generated by our stock loan matched book transactions.

Total expenses in the first quarter of 2014 declined 6%.  The first quarter 2013 included $1.3 million of duplicate rent charges  associated with building out our new headquarters in lower Manhattan while we still occupied our then existing headquarters in midtown Manhattan.  Total expenses declined 5% compared to the first quarter of 2013 if these charges are excluded (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures).

Compensation and employee benefits increased as a result of higher incentive-based compensation to our management team associated with increased global profitability.

Transaction processing costs declined 22%, more than the 10% decline in commissions and fees due to lower options volumes, which incur higher costs for us and, lower execution costs from client use of our Smart Limit Algorithm technology, which improves performance for clients by trading more passively. As a percentage of commissions and fees, transaction processing costs declined to 16.4% compared to 18.8% during the first quarter of 2013.

Other expenses decreased $4.0 million, of which $1.3 million represented the impact of duplicate rent charges incurred during the prior-year period as described above.  In addition, we incurred lower data center, market data and connectivity costs resulting from our cost reduction initiatives, as well as lower software amortization, marketing and consulting costs.  These reductions were partially offset by an increase in legal fees.

Interest expense primarily relates to interest cost on our term debt and commitment fees relating to our $150 million revolving credit facility, including debt issuance cost amortization.

Currency translation from a weaker Canadian Dollar decreased total Canadian revenues and expenses by $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $0.5 million to pre-tax income.

Canadian commissions and fees increased 4%, as an increase in sell-side volumes trading in MATCH Now and an increase in high-touch desk commissions were partially offset by a decrease in average revenue per share from clients using our electronic brokerage services and an unfavorable currency translation impact of $1.3 million.

Recurring revenues increased due to increases in research subscription revenues and our billing for market data consumed by clients.

Other revenues decreased due to an increase in losses on client trade facilitations, partially offset by additional income earned on foreign exchange transactions and on principal trading.

Compensation and employee benefits costs decreased primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation and currency translation, partially offset by an increase in incentive-based compensation associated with improved performance. Historical awards granted to Canada-based employees are settled in cash and as such the related expense fluctuates based on changes in the market price of our stock, which increased more than 20% in the first quarter of 2013, thus increasing the expense in that period.  Awards granted to Canada-based employees in 2014 will be settled through the issuance of our stock, which will be expensed based on fixed grant date fair value accounting and thus will reduce the variable nature of these charges over time.

Transaction processing costs decreased due to the impact of lower execution costs as a higher percentage of our volume was executed in MATCH Now and the impact of currency translation.

The decrease in other expenses was primarily driven by lower connectivity and market data costs from our cost reduction efforts and the impact of currency translations.

Currency translation from a stronger British Pound increased total European revenues and expenses by $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, resulting in an increase of $0.6 million to pre-tax income.

While daily European market-wide value traded increased 21%, according to BATS, to the highest level since the third quarter of 2011, the 68% growth in our European commissions and fees far outpaced that rate. We are continuing to benefit from the investments we have made in our infrastructure and our product suite resulting in increased activity from buy-side and sell-side clients using our electronic brokerage offerings, including our trading algorithms and POSIT, and from buy-side clients using our POSIT Alert block crossing system. We also saw increased commissions from the use of high-touch portfolio trading services. Commissions and fees also benefitted by $1.9 million from favorable currency translation.

Recurring and other revenues fell slightly year-on-year due to the impact of OMS client attrition and an increase in errors and client accommodations, which totaled $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Compensation and employee benefits expense increased due primarily to increased incentive-based compensation related to improved performance, offset in part by the impact of $1.1 million in lower compensation associated with outsourcing our research and development facility in Israel to a third-party service provider.

23

Transaction processing costs increased 46% due to the significant increase in value traded, but fell as a percentage of commissions and fees due to the impact of a higher percentage of our value traded crossed in POSIT and our initiatives to reduce settlement and clearing costs.

Other expenses increased due primarily to the impact of $0.5 million in higher consulting costs, net of capitalization, from outsourcing our research and development facility in Israel to a third-party service provider, higher facility costs relating to our new London office, higher charges for historical market data and the impact of currency translation.

Currency translation from a weaker Australian Dollar decreased total Asia Pacific revenues and expenses by $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, resulting in an increase of $0.1 million to our pre-tax loss.

Asia Pacific commissions and fees decreased from the prior-year period due primarily to the decrease in value traded in Australia and unfavorable currency translation of $0.6 million.

The growth in recurring revenues primarily reflects growth in the number of billable network connections through ITG Net and the decrease in other revenues is due to an increase in client trade accommodations of $0.9 million.

Compensation and employee benefits declined due to a reduction in incentive compensation and the impact of currency translation.

Transaction processing costs decreased as a result of the decrease in value traded. The decrease in other expenses reflects reductions in rental expense and lower foreign currency transaction losses, partially offset by an increase in charges for historical market data.

Consolidated income tax expense

Our effective tax rate was 26.1% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 21.3% in the first quarter of 2013.  The rate in 2014 remained relatively low as a significantly higher portion of our income came from our European Operations, which are taxed at a lower rate. This reduction in rate was partially offset by a higher U.S. effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 due in part to tax legislation extending the research and experimental tax credit into 2014 not being passed and a lower U.S. effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2013 due to the recording of the full year 2012 research and experimentation credit in such quarter due again to the timing of tax legislation. Our consolidated effective tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations. Our liquidity requirements result from our working capital needs, which include clearing and settlement activities, as well as our regulatory capital needs. A substantial portion of our assets are liquid, consisting of cash and cash equivalents or assets readily convertible into cash. Cash is principally invested in U.S. government money market mutual funds and other money market mutual funds. At March 31, 2014, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $222.7 million. Included in this amount is $108.8 million of cash and cash equivalents held by subsidiaries outside the United States.

24

Due to our current capital structure, we currently do not foresee a need to repatriate funds from certain foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. by way of dividends. Should we need to do so in the future, our effective tax rate may increase.

As a self-clearing broker-dealer in the U.S., we are subject to cash deposit requirements with clearing organizations that may be large in relation to total liquid assets and may fluctuate significantly based upon the nature and size of customers’ trading activity and market volatility. At March 31, 2014, we had interest-bearing security deposits totaling $46.8 million with clearing organizations in the U.S. for the settlement of equity trades. In the normal course of our U.S. settlement activities, we may also need to temporarily finance customer securities positions from short settlements or delivery failures. These financings may be funded from existing cash resources, borrowings under stock loan transactions or short-term bank loans under our committed facility. In January 2014, we entered into a new $150 million two-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent to finance these temporary positions and to satisfy temporary spikes in clearing margin requirements.

We self-clear equity trades in Hong Kong and Australia and maintain restricted cash deposits of $25.8 million to support overdraft facilities. In Europe, we maintain $28.7 million in restricted cash deposits supporting working capital facilities primarily in the form of overdraft protection for our European clearing and settlement needs.

Capital Resources

Capital resource requirements relate to capital purchases, as well as business investments, and are generally funded from operations. When required, as in the case of a major acquisition, our strong cash generating ability has historically allowed us to access U.S. capital markets.

Operating Activities

The table below summarizes the effect of the major components of operating cash flow.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2014			2013
Net income	$	13,620		$	8,622
Non-cash items included in net income	20,180			19,917
Effect of changes in receivables/payables from/to customers and brokers	(1,492		)	(38,406		)
Effect of changes in other working capital and operating assets and liabilities	5,693			(6,850		)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	38,001		$	(16,717	)

The positive cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter of 2014 was driven by the combination of our net income and operating cash flow adjustments.  These increases were offset in part by a $46.5 million net repayment of short-term bank loans used to support our settlement activities that is included in financing activities below.

In the normal course of our clearing and settlement activities worldwide, cash is typically used to fund restricted or segregated cash accounts (under regulations and other), broker and customer fails to deliver/receive, securities borrowed, deposits with clearing organizations and net activity related to receivables/payables from/to customers and brokers. The cash requirements vary from day to day depending on volume transacted and customer trading patterns.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $9.3 million includes our investments in software development projects, computer hardware and software.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $66.1 million primarily reflects net repayments of our short-term bank borrowings that are used to support our settlement activities and repayments of our long-term debt, repurchases of ITG common stock, and shares withheld for net settlements of share-based awards.

On January 31, 2014, ITG Inc. as borrower, and Investment Technology Group, Inc. (“Parent Company”) as guarantor entered into a new $150 million two-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows for potential expansion of the facility up to $225 million. The terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement are substantially the same as the initial Credit Agreement that matured on January 31, 2014.

25

During the first three months of 2014, we repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $18.0 million, which was funded from our available cash resources. Of these shares, 0.7 million were purchased under our Board of Directors’ authorization for a total cost of $12.7 million (average cost of $17.10 per share). An additional 0.3 million shares repurchased ($5.2 million) pertained solely to the satisfaction of minimum statutory withholding tax upon the net settlement of equity awards.  As of March 31, 2014, the total remaining number of shares currently available for repurchase under ITG’s stock repurchase program was 2.7 million.  The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on market conditions and other factors.

Regulatory Capital

ITG Inc., AlterNet and ITG Derivatives are subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital.  ITG Inc. has elected to use the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that ITG Inc. maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions, as defined. AlterNet and ITG Derivatives have elected to use the basic method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that they each maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness or $100,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. Dividends or withdrawals of capital cannot be made if capital is needed to comply with regulatory requirements.

Net capital balances and the amounts in excess of required net capital at March 31, 2014 for the U.S. Operations are as follows (dollars in millions):

	Net Capital		Excess Net Capital
U.S. Operations
ITG Inc.	$	88.6	$	87.6
AlterNet	5.4		5.2
ITG Derivatives	4.2		3.2

As of March 31, 2014, ITG Inc. had a $10.6 million cash balance in a Special Reserve Bank Account for the benefit of customers under the Customer Protection Rule pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3, Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and $0.4 million under Proprietary Accounts for Broker Dealers agreements.

In addition, the Company’s Canadian, European and Asia Pacific Operations have subsidiaries with regulatory capital requirements. The regulatory net capital balances and amount of regulatory capital in excess of the minimum requirements applicable to each business at March 31, 2014, is summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

	Net Capital		Excess Net Capital
Canadian Operations
Canada	$	40.1	$	39.6
European Operations
Europe	72.1		37.1
Asia Pacific Operations
Australia	15.4		7.5
Hong Kong	27.4		11.4
Singapore	0.4		0.2

Liquidity and Capital Resource Outlook

Historically, our working capital, stock repurchase and investment activity requirements have been funded from cash from operations and short-term loans, with the exception of strategic acquisitions, which at times have required long-term financing. We believe that our cash flow from operations, existing cash balances and our available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our ongoing operating cash and regulatory capital needs, while also complying with the terms of our Credit Agreement.  However, our ability to borrow additional funds may be inhibited by financial lending institutions’ ability or willingness to lend to us on commercially acceptable terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

We are a member of various U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and clearing houses that trade and clear, respectively, equities and/or derivative contracts.  Associated with our membership, we may be required to pay a proportionate share of financial obligations of another member who may default on its obligations to the exchanges or the clearing house.  While the rules governing different exchange or clearinghouse memberships vary, in general, our guarantee obligations would arise only if the exchange had previously exhausted its resources.  The maximum potential payout under these memberships cannot be estimated.  We have not recorded any contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these agreements and believe that any potential requirement to make payments under these agreements is remote.

As of March 31, 2014, our other contractual obligations and commercial commitments consisted principally of fixed charges, including minimum future rentals under non-cancelable operating leases, minimum future purchases under non-cancelable purchase agreements and minimum compensation under employment agreements.

There has been no significant change to such arrangements and obligations since December 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There has been no significant change to our critical accounting estimates, which are more fully described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (as amended).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 7A) for the year ended December 31, 2013 (as amended). There has been no material change in this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

b)Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the Company’s latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings other than claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, our broker-dealers are regularly involved in reviews, inquiries, examinations, investigations and proceedings by government agencies and self-regulatory organizations regarding our business, which may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. Although there can be no assurances, at this time, the Company believes, based on information currently available, that the outcome of any such proceeding, review, inquiry, examination and investigation will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

1A. Risk Factors

There has been no significant change to the risks or uncertainties that may affect our results of operations since December 31, 2013. Please see Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (as amended).

(a) This column includes the acquisition of 311,486 common shares from employees in order to satisfy minimum statutory withholding tax requirements upon net settlement of restricted share awards.

During the first three months of 2014, we repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $18.0 million, which was funded from our available cash resources. Of these shares, 0.7 million were purchased under our Board of Directors’ authorization for a total cost of $12.7 million (average cost of $17.10 per share). An additional 0.3 million shares repurchased ($5.2 million) pertained solely to the satisfaction of minimum statutory withholding tax upon the net settlement of equity awards.  As of March 31, 2014, the total remaining number of shares currently available for repurchase under ITG’s stock repurchase program was 2.7 million.  The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on market conditions and other factors.

We have not paid a cash dividend to stockholders during any period of time covered by this report.  Our current policy, which is reviewed continually, is to retain earnings to finance the operations and expansion of our businesses and to return capital to stockholders through repurchases. As a result, we are not currently paying cash dividends on common stock.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Investment Technology Group, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation on July 22, 1983. Its principal subsidiaries include: (1) ITG Inc., AlterNet Securities, Inc. (“AlterNet”) and ITG Derivatives LLC (“ITG Derivatives”), institutional broker-dealers in the United States (“U.S.”), (2) Investment Technology Group Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Europe, (3) ITG Australia Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Australia, (4) ITG Canada Corp., an institutional broker-dealer in Canada, (5) ITG Hong Kong Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Hong Kong, (6) ITG Software Solutions, Inc., our intangible property, software development and maintenance subsidiary in the U.S., and (7) ITG Solutions Network, Inc., a holding company for ITG Analytics, Inc., a provider of pre- and post-trade analysis, fair value and trade optimization services, ITG Investment Research, Inc., a provider of independent data-driven investment research, and ITG Platforms Inc., a provider of trade order and execution management technology and network connectivity services for the financial community.

ITG is an independent execution and research broker that partners with global portfolio managers and traders to provide unique data-driven insights throughout the investment process. From investment decision through to settlement, ITG helps clients understand market trends, improve performance, mitigate risk and navigate increasingly complex markets. A leader in electronic trading since launching the POSIT crossing network in 1987, ITG takes a consultative approach in delivering the highest quality institutional liquidity, execution services, analytical tools and proprietary research. The firm is headquartered in New York with offices in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region.

Our business is organized into four reportable operating segments (see Note 14, Segment Reporting, to the condensed consolidated financial statements):

· U.S. Operations

· Canadian Operations

· European Operations and

· Asia Pacific Operations.

Our four operating segments offer a wide range of solutions for asset managers and broker-dealers in the areas of electronic brokerage; research, sales and trading; platforms; and analytics. These offerings include trade execution services and solutions for portfolio management, as well as investment research, pre-trade analytics and post-trade analytics and processing.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of results.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (as amended).

(14) Segment Reporting

The Company is organized into four geographic operating segments through which the Company’s chief operating decision maker manages the Company’s business. The U.S., Canadian, European and Asia Pacific Operations segments provide the following categories of products and services:

· Electronic Brokerage — includes self-directed trading using algorithms, smart routing and matching through POSIT in cash equities (including single stocks and portfolio lists), futures and options

· Research, Sales and Trading — includes (a) differentiated, unbiased, data-driven equity research through the use of innovative data mining and analysis, as well as detailed analysis of energy asset plays, and (b) portfolio trading and high-touch trading desks providing execution expertise and trading ideas based on investment research

· Platforms — includes trade order and execution management software applications in addition to network connectivity

· Analytics — includes tools enabling portfolio managers and traders to improve pre-trade and real-time execution performance, portfolio construction and optimization decisions and securities valuation.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company allocates resources to, and evaluates the performance of, its reportable segments based on income or loss before income tax expense. Consistent with the Company’s resource allocation and operating performance evaluation approach, the effects of inter-segment activities are eliminated except in limited circumstances where certain technology related costs are allocated to a segment to support that segment’s revenue producing activities. Commissions and fees revenue for trade executions and commission share revenues are principally attributed to each segment based upon the location of execution of the related transaction. Recurring revenues are principally attributed based upon the location of the client using the respective service.

A summary of the segment financial information is as follows (dollars in thousands):

In the U.S., securities clearance and settlement activities are funded with operating cash, securities loaned or with short-term bank loans under a committed credit agreement.   ITG Inc. as borrower, and Investment Technology Group, Inc. (“Parent Company”) as guarantor, maintained a $150 million three-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent that matured on January 31, 2014.  On January 31, 2014, ITG Inc. as borrower, and Parent Company as guarantor entered into a new $150 million two-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows for potential expansion of the facility up to $225 million. At March 31, 2014, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Term Debt

At March 31, 2014, term debt is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

Term loan	$	7,428
Obligations under capital lease	19,784

On June 1, 2011, Parent Company as borrower, entered into a $25.5 million Master Loan and Security Agreement (“Term Loan Agreement”) with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“Bank of America”). The four-year term loan established under this agreement (“Term Loan”) is secured by a security interest in existing furniture, fixtures and equipment owned by the Parent Company and certain U.S. subsidiaries as of June 1, 2011. The primary purpose of this financing was to provide capital for strategic initiatives.

Along with the Term Loan Agreement, Parent Company entered into a $5.0 million master lease facility with Bank of America (“Master Lease Agreement”), under which purchases of new equipment may be financed. Each equipment lease under the Master Lease Agreement is structured as a capital lease and has a separate 48-month term from its inception date, at the end of which Parent Company may purchase the underlying equipment for $1.

On August 10, 2012, Parent Company entered into a $25.0 million master lease facility with BMO Harris Equipment Finance Company (“BMO”) to finance equipment and construction expenditures related to the build-out of the Company’s new headquarters in lower Manhattan. The amount borrowed of $21.2 million has a 3.39% fixed-rate term financing structured as a capital lease with a 48-month term, at the end of which Parent Company may purchase the underlying assets for $1.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

(15) Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is a member of various U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and clearing houses that trade and clear equities and/or derivative contracts. The Company also accesses certain clearing houses through the memberships of third parties. Associated with these memberships and third-party relationships, the Company may be required to pay a proportionate share of financial obligations of another member who may default on its obligations to the exchanges or the clearing houses. While the rules governing different exchange or clearing house memberships vary, in general, the Company’s obligations would arise only if the exchanges and clearing houses had previously exhausted other remedies. The maximum potential payout under these memberships cannot be estimated. The Company has not recorded any contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these agreements and believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these agreements is remote. In the ordinary course of business, the Company guarantees obligations of subsidiaries which may arise from third-party clearing relationships and trading counterparties. The activities of the subsidiaries covered by these guarantees are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s customer financing and securities settlement activities may require the Company to pledge customer securities as collateral in support of various secured financing transactions such as bank loans. In the event the counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return customer securities pledged as collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its customer obligations. The Company controls this risk by monitoring the market value of securities pledged on a daily basis and by requiring adjustments of collateral levels in the event of excess market exposure.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, securities owned at fair value, receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and receivables from customers. Cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, at fair value are deposited with high credit quality financial institutions.

The Company loans securities temporarily to other brokers in connection with its securities lending activities. The Company receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security prices may cause the market value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company controls this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis, and by requiring additional cash as collateral or returning collateral when necessary.

The Company borrows securities temporarily from other brokers in connection with its securities borrowing activities. The Company deposits cash as collateral for the securities borrowed. Decreases in security prices may cause the market value of the securities borrowed to fall below the amount of cash deposited as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of selling the securities at prevailing market prices. The Company controls this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the collateral values on a daily basis, and by depositing additional collateral with counterparties or receiving cash when deemed necessary.

The Company may at times maintain inventories in equity securities on both a long and short basis. Whereas long inventory positions represent the Company’s ownership of securities, short inventory positions represent obligations of the Company to deliver specified securities at a contracted price, which may differ from market prices prevailing at the time of completion of the transaction. Accordingly, both long and short inventory positions may result in losses or gains to the Company as market values of securities fluctuate. To mitigate the risk of losses, long and short positions are marked to market daily and are continuously monitored by the Company.

The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, no uncertain tax positions were resolved.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken of $15.5 million and $13.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The Company had accrued interest expense of $2.4 million and $2.2 million, net of related tax effects, related to unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Securities Borrowed and Loaned

As of March 31, 2014, securities borrowed as part of the Company’s matched book operations with a fair value of $653.7 million were delivered for securities loaned. The gross amounts of interest earned on cash provided to counterparties as collateral for securities borrowed, and interest incurred on cash received from counterparties as collateral for securities loaned, and the resulting net amount included in other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Interest earned	$	4,403		$	2,926
Interest incurred	(3,066		)	(2,053		)
Net	$	1,337		$	873

Deposits paid for securities borrowed and deposits received for securities loaned are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Deposits paid for securities borrowed transactions require the Company to deposit cash with the lender. With respect to deposits received for securities loaned, the Company receives collateral in the form of cash in an amount generally in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded, as necessary.

The Company’s securities borrowing and lending is generally done under industry standard agreements (“Master Securities Lending Agreements”) that may allow, following an event of default by either party, the prompt close-out of all transactions (including the liquidation of securities held) and the offsetting of obligations to return cash or securities, as the case may be, by the non-defaulting party. Events of default under the Master Securities Lending Agreements generally include, subject to certain conditions: (i) failure to timely deliver cash or securities as required under the transaction, (ii) a party’s insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceeding, (iii) breach of representation, and (iv) a material breach of the agreement. The counterparty that receives the securities in these transactions generally has unrestricted access in its use of the securities.  For financial statement purposes, the Company does not offset securities borrowed and securities loaned.

In accordance with ASU 2013-01, the following table summarizes the transactions under certain Master Securities Lending Agreements that may be eligible for offsetting if an event of default occurred and a right of offset was legally enforceable (dollars in thousands):

	Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets/ (Liabilities)			Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition		Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition			Collateral Received or Pledged (including Cash)			Net Amount

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

(2) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, various methods are used including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability are used, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. Valuation techniques that are used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, fair value measured financial instruments are categorized according to the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

· Level 1: Fair value measurements using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Level 2: Fair value measurements using correlation with (directly or indirectly) observable market-based inputs, unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

· Level 3: Fair value measurements using inputs that are significant and not readily observable in the market.

Level 1 consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded mutual funds and listed equities.

Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued based upon observable market-based inputs.

Level 3 is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are generally less readily observable.

Fair value measurements for those items measured on a recurring basis are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents other than bank deposits are measured at fair value and primarily include U.S. government money market mutual funds.

Securities owned, at fair value and securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value include corporate stocks, equity index mutual funds and bond mutual funds, all of which are exchange traded.

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Assets and liabilities that are recorded at contracted amounts approximating fair value consist primarily of receivables from and payables to brokers, dealers, clearing organizations and customers. These receivables and payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations are short-term in nature, and following March 31, 2014, substantially all have settled at the contracted amounts.

The Company believes the carrying amounts of its term-debt obligations at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximate fair value because the interest rates on these instruments change with, or approximate, market interest rates.
