Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.Description of Business

Nature of Business and Organization

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. is a leading global provider of technology and data to a broad range of customers including financial institutions, corporations and government entities. Our products, which span major asset classes including futures, equities, fixed income and United States, or U.S., residential mortgages, provide our customers with access to mission critical tools that are designed to increase asset class transparency and workflow efficiency. Our business is conducted through three reportable business segments:

•Exchanges: We operate regulated marketplace technology for the listing, trading and clearing of a broad array of derivatives contracts and financial securities as well as data and connectivity services related to our exchanges and clearing houses.

•Fixed Income and Data Services: We provide fixed income pricing, reference data, indices, analytics and execution services as well as global credit default swap, or CDS, clearing and multi-asset class data delivery technology.

•Mortgage Technology: We provide a technology platform that offers customers comprehensive, digital workflow tools that aim to address inefficiencies and mitigate risks that exist in the U.S. residential mortgage market life cycle, from application through closing, servicing and the secondary market.

We operate marketplaces, technology and provide data services in the U.S., United Kingdom, or U.K., European Union, or EU, Canada, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. We believe that these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.

These statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions between us and our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. For consolidated subsidiaries in which our ownership is less than 100% and for which we have control over the assets and liabilities and the management of the entity, the non-ICE interests are shown as non-controlling interests. When non-controlling interests hold an option to require us to repurchase their interests, these amounts are shown as redeemable non-controlling interests and could be subject to remeasurement.

We have considered the impacts of macroeconomic conditions during the quarter, including interest rates, inflation rates, changes in tariffs and trade policies, geopolitical events and military conflicts, including repercussions from, and the impacts that, any of the foregoing may have on the global economy and on our business. As of June 30, 2025, our businesses and operations, including our exchanges, clearing houses, listings venues, data services businesses and mortgage platforms, have not suffered a material negative impact as a result of these events. There continues to be uncertainty surrounding the current macroeconomic environment and the impact that it may have on the global economy and on our business.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

As disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, or the 2024 Form 10-K, we adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures as of December 31, 2024. This ASU requires many of the updates made in our annual segment disclosures to also be made in interim periods. We applied the new interim period requirements in Note 14, including retrospective updates to the prior interim periods presented.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no other significant changes to the new and recently adopted accounting pronouncements applicable to us from those disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.

	As of June 30, 2025		As of December 31, 2024
Equity securities:
Equity method investments	$	385	$	347
Equity investments without readily determinable fair values	$	118	$	104

Equity Method Investments

Our equity method investments include the Options Clearing Corporation, or OCC, and Bakkt Holdings, Inc. and Bakkt Opco Holdings, LLC, or collectively, Bakkt, among others. Our equity method investments are included in other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We initially record our equity method investments at cost. At the end of each reporting period, we record our share of net income or loss of our equity method investments as equity earnings included in other income, net, in our consolidated statements of income, and adjust the carrying value of our equity method investments accordingly. In addition, if and when our equity method investments issue cash dividends to us, we deduct the amount of these dividends from the carrying amount of that investment. We assess the carrying value periodically if impairment indicators are present.

We recognized $35 million of income and $45 million of loss as our share of estimated income/loss, net, from our equity method investments during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $6 million of income and $3 million of loss as our share of estimated income/loss, net, from our equity method investments during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The estimated income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily related to our share of net income of OCC. The estimated loss for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily related to our investment in Bakkt, partially offset by our share of net income of OCC. Both periods include adjustments to reflect the difference between reported prior period actual results from our original estimates.

When performing our assessment of the carrying value of our investments, we consider, among other things, the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our cost basis, if applicable, the investee's financial condition and near-term prospects, the economic or technological environment in which our investees operate, weakening of the general market condition of the related industry, whether an investee can continue as a going concern, any impairment charges recorded by an investee on goodwill, intangible or long-lived assets, and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

OCC

We own a 40% interest in OCC through a direct investment by the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. OCC is regulated by the SEC as a registered clearing agency and by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, as a derivatives clearing organization. OCC serves as a clearing house for securities options, securities futures, commodity futures and options on futures traded on various independent exchanges. OCC clears securities options traded on NYSE Arca Options and NYSE American Options, along with other non-affiliated exchanges.

Bakkt

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held an approximate 53% economic interest in Bakkt. As a result of limitations on ICE from the Bakkt voting agreement entered into in connection with Bakkt's merger with Victory Park Capital Impact Acquisition Holdings, we hold a minority voting interest in Bakkt and treat it as an equity method investment.

As of June 30, 2025, we do not have any value assigned to the equity method investment carrying value for Bakkt primarily due to our continued recording of our share of losses. As Bakkt is a public company with a readily available

10

market price, the fair value of our investment was $104 million as of June 30, 2025, which was based on the quoted market price of Bakkt Class A common stock as of June 30, 2025.

On August 12, 2024, we entered into a revolving credit agreement with Bakkt pursuant to which we agreed to provide Bakkt with a $40 million secured revolving line of credit that matures on December 31, 2026. The $40 million is available in defined commitment amounts for specified time periods in the future. As of June 30, 2025, the total commitment amount available to Bakkt was $30 million, of which no amounts were outstanding at the end of the period.

As an equity method investee, Bakkt is a related party of ICE. The interest earned on the previously funded amount combined with the commitment fees charged to Bakkt were immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Other Equity Method Investments

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a gain of $2 million on one of our other equity method investments.

Equity Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values

Our equity investments without readily determinable fair values are included in other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. For these investments, we apply the measurement alternative in Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 321, Investments - Equity Securities, or ASC 321. Under the measurement alternative, these investments are recorded at cost minus any impairment, and adjusted to fair value if and when there is an observable price change in an orderly transaction for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, with any change in fair value recognized in net income. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material adjustments made to the carrying values of these investments.

4.    Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of our revenues are considered to be revenues from contracts with customers. The related accounts receivable balances are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets as customer accounts receivable. We do not have obligations for warranties, returns or refunds to customers, other than rebates, which are settled each period and therefore do not result in variable consideration. We do not have significant revenue recognized from performance obligations that were satisfied in prior periods. Certain judgments and estimates are used in the identification and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the related allocation of transaction price. We believe that these represent a faithful depiction of the transfer of services to our customers.

Deferred revenue represents our contract liabilities related to our annual, original and other listings revenues, certain data services, clearing services, mortgage technology services and other revenues. See Note 5 for our discussion of deferred revenue balances, activity, and expected timing of recognition.

For all of our contracts with customers, except for listings and certain data, clearing and mortgage services, our performance obligations are short term in nature and there is no significant variable consideration. In addition, we have elected the practical expedient of excluding sales taxes from transaction prices.

Refer to Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our 2024 Form 10-K where we describe our revenue recognition accounting policies and our primary revenue contract classifications in detail.

The Exchanges segment and the Fixed Income and Data Services segment revenues above include data services revenues. Our data services revenues are transferred over time, and a majority of those revenues are performed over a short period of time of one month or less and relate to subscription-based data services billed monthly, quarterly or annually in advance. These revenues are recognized ratably over time as our data delivery performance obligations are met consistently throughout the period.

The Exchanges segment revenues transferred over time in the tables above also include services related to listings, risk management of open interest performance obligations and regulatory fees, trading permits, and software licenses.

The Fixed Income and Data Services segment revenues transferred over time in the tables above also include services related to risk management of open interest performance obligations, primarily in our CDS business.

The Mortgage Technology segment revenues transferred over time in the tables above primarily relate to our origination and servicing technology revenue where performance obligations consist of a series of distinct services and are recognized over the contract terms as subscription performance obligations are satisfied and, to a lesser extent, professional services revenues and revenues from certain of our data and analytics offerings.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations

Our disclosure of transaction price allocated to future performance obligations excludes the following:

•Volume-based fees in excess of contractual minimums and other usage-based fees to the extent they are part of a single performance obligation and meet certain variable consideration allocation criteria;

•Performance obligations that are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less; and

•Transactional fees based on a fixed fee per transaction when we have the right to invoice once we have completed the performance obligation.

As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to our future performance obligations was approximately $3.3 billion and was primarily related to contracts with customers in our Mortgage Technology segment. We expect this amount to be recognized as revenue as follows: 21% by December 31, 2025, 75% by December 31, 2027, 94% by December 31, 2029 and the rest thereafter.

Contract Assets

A contract asset represents our expectation of receiving consideration in exchange for products or services that we have provided to our customers, where invoicing is contingent on our completion of other performance obligations or contractual milestones. Substantially all of our contract assets are related to contracts with customers in our Mortgage Technology segment. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of our contract assets was $90 million and $87 million, respectively.

5.    Deferred Revenue

Our contract liabilities, or deferred revenue, represent consideration received that is yet to be recognized as revenue. Total deferred revenue was $601 million as of June 30, 2025, including $509 million in current deferred revenue and $92 million in other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The changes in our deferred revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 are as follows (in millions):

14

	Listings Revenues		Data Services and Other Revenues		Mortgage Technology		Total
Deferred revenue balance at January 1, 2025	$	119	$	130	$	84	$	333
Additions	470		224		75		769
Amortization	(246)		(173)		(82)		(501)
Deferred revenue balance at June 30, 2025	$	343	$	181	$	77	$	601

The changes in our deferred revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2024 are as follows (in millions):

	Listings Revenues		Data Services and Other Revenues		Mortgage Technology		Total
Deferred revenue balance at January 1, 2024	$	108	$	93	$	106	$	307
Additions	475		265		66		806

Deferred revenue balance at June 30, 2024	$	339	$	167	$	96	$	602

Included in the amortization recognized during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 is $152 million and $64 million, respectively, related to the deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2025. Included in the amortization recognized during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 is $130 million and $46 million, respectively, related to the deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining deferred revenue balance will be recognized over the period of time we satisfy our performance obligations as described in Note 4.

6.    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The following is a summary of the activity in our goodwill balance by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (in millions):

	Exchanges Segment		Fixed Income and Data Services Segment		Mortgage Technology Segment		Total Consolidated
Goodwill balance at December 31, 2024	$	8,136	$	4,853	$	17,606	$	30,595
Acquisitions	1		7		—		8
Foreign currency translation	46		4		—		50
Other activity, net	—		—		(1)		(1)
Goodwill balance at June 30, 2025	$	8,183	$	4,864	$	17,605	$	30,652

The following is a summary of the activity in our other intangible assets balance for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (in millions):

Other intangible assets balance at December 31, 2024	$	16,306
Acquisitions	5
Foreign currency translation	40
Amortization of other intangible assets	(506)
Other intangible assets balance at June 30, 2025	$	15,845

Foreign currency translation adjustments result from a portion of our goodwill and other intangible assets primarily being held at our U.K., EU and Canadian subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we considered potential indicators of impairment to goodwill and other intangible assets for each of our reporting units, which included continued global inflation concerns, changes in tariffs and trade policies and changing interest rates, including their effect on our forecasts, among other things. As such, we performed this assessment to determine whether it was more-likely-than-not that goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles within each of our reporting units were impaired. Additionally, we evaluated whether the carrying value of the finite-lived

15

intangible assets may not be recoverable. After evaluating events, circumstances and factors which could affect the significant inputs used in our evaluation of cash flows and related fair value, we determined it was not more-likely-than-not that an impairment existed in our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets or that the carrying amount of our finite lived intangible assets was not recoverable. We plan to perform our annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2025.

7.    Debt

The carrying value of our total debt, including short-term and long-term debt, consisted of the following (in millions):

	As of June 30, 2025		As of December 31, 2024

As of June 30, 2025, our senior notes of $18.6 billion had a weighted average maturity of 14 years and a weighted average cost of 3.7% per annum.

Credit Facilities

We have a $3.9 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility, with future capacity to increase our borrowings under the Credit Facility by an additional $1.0 billion, subject to the consent of the lenders funding the increase and certain other conditions. On May 31, 2024, we agreed with the lenders to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility from May 25, 2027, to May 31, 2029, among other items. No amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, of the $3.9 billion that was available for borrowing under the Credit Facility, $601 million was required to back-stop the notes outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program and $173 million was required to support certain broker-dealer and other subsidiary commitments. Amounts required to back-stop notes outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program will fluctuate as we increase or decrease our commercial paper borrowings. The remaining $3.1 billion is available for working capital and general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, acting as a back-stop to future amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program.

Our India subsidiaries maintain $14 million of credit lines for their general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2025, there were no amounts outstanding under these credit lines.

Commercial Paper Program

Our Commercial Paper Program is currently backed by the borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility, as described above. The effective interest rate of commercial paper issuances does not materially differ from short-term

16

interest rates, which fluctuate due to market conditions and as a result may impact our interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net borrowings of $72 million under the Commercial Paper Program.

Commercial paper notes of $601 million with original maturities ranging from 1 to 28 days were outstanding as of June 30, 2025, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.6% per annum, and a weighted average remaining maturity of 15 days.

8.    Share-Based Compensation

We currently have employee and non-employee director incentive plans under which we have the ability to grant restricted stock units, or RSUs, and stock options, among other types of awards. These awards have various service, performance, and/or market conditions and are used as an incentive to attract and retain qualified employees and to align our and our stockholders' interests by linking actual performance to both short and long-term stockholder return. Stock options and RSUs are granted at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, or Board, based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of the stock options and RSUs on the date of grant is recognized as expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. We also have an employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP, available to our employees.

The non-cash compensation expenses recognized in our consolidated statements of income for stock options, RSUs and under our employee stock purchase plan, net of amounts classified as capitalized software, were $115 million and $114 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $58 million and $57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $9 million and $10 million, respectively, of the total non-cash compensation expense was recorded within acquisition-related transaction and integration costs in the consolidated statement of income. For both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $4 million of the total non-cash compensation expense was recorded within acquisition-related transaction and integration costs in the consolidated statement of income.

Stock Options

We have historically used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value our stock option awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we did not grant any stock option awards. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item of our 2024 Form 10-K for information on the assumptions to value the stock option awards issued during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Restricted Stock Units Activity

Service Condition RSUs

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we granted 0.8 million of time-based RSUs. The grant date fair value of each award is based on the closing stock price of our stock at the date of grant. These RSUs generally vest in equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. The grant date fair value of time-based RSUs is recognized as expense ratably over the vesting period, which is three or four years, net of estimated forfeitures.

Performance Condition RSUs

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we granted 0.3 million of one-year performance based RSUs, or PSUs, to certain of our employees. The number of shares that will ultimately vest under these PSUs is based on our actual current year EBITDA relative to a pre-established goal set by our Board and the Compensation Committee. The PSUs will then vest in three equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. The grant date fair value of these awards was based on the closing stock price of our stock at the date of grant. For these PSUs, we recognize expense on an accelerated basis over the three-year vesting period based on our quarterly assessment of the probable 2025 actual financial performance as compared to the 2025 financial performance targets, net of estimated forfeitures. As of June 30, 2025, our best estimate is that the financial performance level will be above target for 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we also granted 0.1 million of three-year PSUs to certain of our employees. The number of shares that will ultimately vest under these PSUs is based on our 2027 EBITDA relative to a pre-established goal set by our Board and the Compensation Committee. These PSUs will cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. The grant date fair value of these awards was based on the closing stock price of our stock at the date of grant. For these PSUs, we recognize expense ratably over the vesting period based on our quarterly assessment of the probable actual financial performance as compared to the financial performance targets, net of estimated forfeitures. As of June 30, 2025, our best estimate is that the financial performance level will be at target for the performance period.

17

Market Condition RSUs

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we granted 0.1 million of three-year total stockholder return, or TSR, performance based RSUs, or TSR-based PSUs. The number of shares that will ultimately vest under these TSR-based PSUs will be based on our cumulative TSR performance over the three-year period relative to that of the S&P 500. These TSR-based PSUs will cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. The fair value of these awards was estimated based on a simulation of various outcomes and included inputs such as our stock price at the beginning of the period subject to the market condition, the risk-free interest rate, the time period of the market condition, and the expected volatility of our stock and the underlying equity securities of the S&P 500 benchmark index subject to the market condition. For these TSR-based PSUs, we recognize expense ratably over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We offer our employees the ability to participate in our ESPP, under which we have reserved and may sell up to 25 million shares of our common stock to employees. Under our ESPP, participating employees have the right to acquire shares of our common stock in increments of 1% of eligible pay, with a maximum contribution of 25% of eligible pay, subject to applicable annual Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, limitations. Participating employees are limited to acquiring up to $25,000 of our common stock annually, and a maximum of 1,250 shares of common stock during each offering period. There are two offering periods each year, from January 1st (or the first trading day thereafter) through June 30th (or the last trading day prior to such date) and from July 1st (or the first trading day thereafter) through December 31st (or the last trading day prior to such date). The purchase price per share of common stock is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the stock on the first or the last trading day of each offering period.

9.    Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

In December 2021, our Board approved an aggregate of $3.15 billion for future repurchases of our common stock with no fixed expiration date that became effective on January 1, 2022. In December 2024, the remaining available balance of $2.52 billion was re-authorized by our Board. The approval by our Board for the stock repurchases does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. In addition, our Board may increase or decrease the amount available for repurchases from time to time. In making a determination regarding the timing and extent of any share repurchases, we consider multiple factors that may include: overall stock market conditions, our common stock price performance, the remaining amount authorized for repurchases by our Board, the potential impact of a stock repurchase program on our debt ratings, our expected free cash flow and working capital needs, our current and future planned strategic growth initiatives, and other potential uses of our cash and capital resources. We fund repurchases from our operating cash flow or borrowings under our debt facilities or Commercial Paper Program.

Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market, through established trading plans, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. In February 2025, we entered into a new 10b5-1 trading plan that became effective on February 21, 2025. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 2.9 million and 1.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock at a cost of $496 million and $255 million, respectively, under the 10b5-1 trading plan. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $2 million of excise tax in treasury stock as part of the cost basis of the shares repurchased. We did not have any share repurchases during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024. Shares repurchased are held in treasury stock.

We may begin or discontinue stock repurchases at any time and may enter into, amend or terminate a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan at any time or enter into additional plans. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining balance of Board approved funds for future repurchases was $2.0 billion.

Dividends

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we declared and paid cash dividends per share of $0.96 and $0.90 for an aggregate payout of $555 million and $519 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we declared and paid cash dividends per share of $0.48 and $0.45 for an aggregate payout of $277 million and $261 million, respectively.

Our Board has adopted a quarterly dividend declaration policy providing that the declaration of any dividends will be approved quarterly by the Board or the Audit Committee, taking into account such factors as our evolving business model, prevailing business conditions, our current and future planned strategic growth initiatives, our financial results and capital

18

requirements and other considerations which our Board deems relevant, without a predetermined annual net income payout ratio.

10.    Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 24% and 22% during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 24% and 26% during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the effective tax rate for the comparable period in 2024 primarily due to deferred tax benefits from state apportionment changes in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was lower than the effective tax rate for the comparable period in 2024 primarily due to deferred tax expenses from state apportionment changes in the prior year period and tax benefits resulting from favorable audit settlements in the current year period.

19

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or OBBBA, was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes significant changes to existing U.S. federal and international tax provisions. These tax law changes did not affect our income tax provision for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, Global Anti-Base Erosion Pillar Two minimum tax rules, or Pillar Two, which generally provide for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, are intended to apply to tax years beginning in 2024. The EU member states and many other countries, including the U.K., our most significant non-U.S. jurisdiction, have committed to implement or have already enacted legislation adopting the Pillar Two rules. In July 2023, the U.K. enacted the U.K. Finance Act 2023, effective as of January 1, 2024, which included provisions to implement certain portions of the Pillar Two minimum tax rules and included an election to apply a transitional safe harbor to extend certain effective dates to accounting periods commencing on or before December 31, 2026 and ending on or before June 30, 2028. These Pillar Two rules, including those in the U.K., did not have a material impact on our financial statements as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

11.    Clearing Operations

We operate six clearing houses, each of which acts as a central counterparty that becomes the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer for its clearing members or participants, or Members. Through this central counterparty function, the clearing houses provide financial security for each transaction for the duration of the position by limiting counterparty credit risk.

Our clearing houses are responsible for providing clearing services to each of our futures exchanges, and in some cases to third-party execution venues, and are as follows, referred to herein collectively as "the ICE Clearing Houses":

Clearing House	Products Cleared	Exchange where Executed	Location
ICE Clear Europe	Energy, agricultural, interest rates and equity index futures and options contracts	ICE Futures Europe, ICE Futures U.S., ICE Endex and ICE Futures Abu Dhabi	U.K.
ICE Clear U.S.	Agricultural, metals, foreign exchange, or FX, interest rate and equity index futures and/or options contracts	ICE Futures U.S.	U.S.
ICE Clear Credit	OTC North American, European, Asian-Pacific and Emerging Market CDS instruments	Creditex and third-party venues	U.S.
ICE Clear Netherlands	Derivatives on equities and equity indices traded on regulated markets	ICE Endex	The Netherlands
ICE Clear Singapore	Energy, metals and financial futures products	ICE Futures Singapore	Singapore
ICE NGX	Physical North American natural gas, environmental commodities and physical and financial electricity	ICE NGX	Canada

Original and Variation Margin

Each of the ICE Clearing Houses generally requires all Members to deposit collateral in cash or certain pledged assets. The collateral deposits are known as “original margin.” In addition, the ICE Clearing Houses may make intraday original margin calls in circumstances where market conditions require additional protection. The daily profits and losses to and from the ICE Clearing Houses due to the marking-to-market of open contracts is known as “variation margin.” The ICE Clearing Houses mark all outstanding contracts to market, and, with the exception of ICE NGX’s physical natural gas, physical environmental and physical power products discussed separately below, pay and collect variation margin at least once daily.

The amounts that Members are required to maintain are determined by proprietary risk models established by each ICE Clearing House and reviewed by the relevant regulators, independent model validators, risk committees and the boards of directors of the respective ICE Clearing House. The amounts required may fluctuate over time. Each of the ICE Clearing Houses is a separate legal entity and is not subject to the liabilities of the others, or the obligations of Members of the other ICE Clearing Houses.

Should a particular Member fail to deposit its original margin or fail to make a variation margin payment, when and as required, the relevant ICE Clearing House may liquidate or hedge the defaulting Member's open positions and use their original margin and guaranty fund deposits to pay any amount owed. In the event that the defaulting Member's deposits are not sufficient to pay the amount owed in full, the ICE Clearing Houses will first use their respective contributions to the guaranty fund, often referred to as Skin In The Game, or SITG, to pay any remaining amount owed. In the event that the SITG is not sufficient, the ICE Clearing Houses may utilize the respective guaranty fund deposits and default insurance or collect limited additional funds from their respective non-defaulting Members on a pro-rata basis, to pay any remaining amount owed.

20

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the ICE Clearing Houses had received or had been pledged $192.9 billion and $173.1 billion, respectively, in cash and non-cash collateral in original margin and guaranty fund deposits to cover price movements of underlying contracts for both periods.

Guaranty Funds and ICE Contribution

As described above, mechanisms have been created, called guaranty funds, to provide partial protection in the event of a Member default. With the exception of ICE NGX, each of the ICE Clearing Houses requires that each Member make deposits into a guaranty fund.

In addition, we have contributed our own capital that could be used if a defaulting Member’s original margin and guaranty fund deposits are insufficient. Such amounts are recorded as long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents and long-term restricted investments in our balance sheets and are as follows (in millions):

	ICE Portion of Guaranty Fund Contribution		Default insurance
Clearing House	As of June 30, 2025	As of December 31, 2024	As of June 30, 2025	As of December 31, 2024
ICE Clear Europe	$197	$197	$100	$100
ICE Clear U.S.	75	75	25	25
ICE Clear Credit	50	50	75	75
ICE Clear Netherlands	2	2	N/A	N/A
ICE Clear Singapore	1	1	N/A	N/A
ICE NGX	45	45	200	200
Total	$370	$370	$400	$400

We also maintain default insurance at ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear U.S. and ICE Clear Credit as an additional layer of clearing member default protection, which is reflected in the table above. The default insurance was renewed in September 2022 and has a three-year term. The default insurance layer resides after and in addition to the ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear U.S. and ICE Clear Credit SITG contributions and before the guaranty fund contributions of the non-defaulting Members.

Similar to SITG, the default insurance layer is not intended to replace or reduce the position risk-based amount of the guaranty fund. As a result, the default insurance layer is not a factor that is included in the calculation of the Members' guaranty fund contribution requirement. Instead, it serves as an additional, distinct, and separate default resource that should serve to further protect the non-defaulting Members’ guaranty fund contributions from being mutualized in the event of a default.

As of June 30, 2025, ICE NGX maintained a guaranty fund of $215 million, comprising $15 million in cash and a $200 million letter of credit backed by a default insurance policy of the same amount, discussed below. Separately, ICE NGX has also set aside $30 million of its own capital that could be used for liquidity purposes if a direct participant of the ICE NGX clearing house, or Contracting Party, defaulted.

Below is a depiction of our Default Waterfall which summarizes the lines of defense and layers of protection we maintain for our mutualized clearing houses.

Cash and Invested Margin Deposits

We have recorded cash and invested margin and guaranty fund deposits and amounts due in our balance sheets as current assets with corresponding current liabilities to the Members. As of June 30, 2025, our cash and invested margin deposits were as follows (in millions):

	ICE Clear Europe		ICE Clear Credit		ICE Clear U.S.		ICE NGX		Other ICE Clearing Houses		Total

Total	$	47,780	$	27,155	$	7,729	$	1,639	$	9	$	84,312

Our cash and invested margin and guaranty fund deposits are maintained in accounts with national banks and highly-rated financial institutions or secured through direct investments, primarily in U.S. Treasury and other highly-rated foreign government securities, or reverse repurchase agreements with primarily overnight maturities. Reverse repos are valued

22

daily and are subject to collateral maintenance provisions pursuant to which the counterparty must provide additional collateral if the underlying securities lose value in an amount sufficient to maintain collateralization of at least 102%. We primarily use Level 1 inputs when evaluating the fair value of the non-cash equivalent direct investments, as highly-rated government securities are quoted in active markets. The carrying value of these deposits is deemed to approximate fair value.

To provide a tool to address the liquidity needs of our clearing houses and manage the liquidation of margin and guaranty fund deposits held in the form of cash and high quality sovereign debt, ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear U.S. have entered into Committed Repurchase Agreement Facilities, or Committed Repo. Additionally, ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear Netherlands have entered into Committed FX Facilities to support these liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2025, the following facilities were in place:

•ICE Clear Europe: $1.0 billion in Committed Repo to have the ability to convert securities held as collateral into U.S. dollar, euro and pound sterling deposits with same day liquidity.

•ICE Clear Credit: $300 million in Committed Repo (U.S. dollar based) to have the ability to convert U.S. dollar\euro denominated sovereign debt held as collateral into U.S. dollar\euro deposits with same day liquidity, €250 million in Committed Repo (euro based) to have the ability to convert euro\U.S. dollar denominated sovereign debt deposits held as collateral into euro\U.S. dollar denominated deposits with same day liquidity, and €1.9 billion in Committed FX Facilities to have the ability to convert available U.S. dollar denominated cash into euro denominated cash to meet a euro denominated payment obligation with same day liquidity.

•ICE Clear U.S.: $250 million in Committed Repo to have the ability to convert U.S. dollar denominated sovereign debt deposits held as collateral into U.S. dollar deposits with same day liquidity.

•ICE Clear Netherlands: €10 million in Committed FX Facilities to have the ability to convert available non-euro denominated cash into euro denominated cash to meet euro denominated payment obligations with same day liquidity.

Details of our deposits are as follows (in millions):

Other Deposits

In addition to the cash and invested deposits above, the ICE Clearing Houses have also received other assets from Members, which include government obligations, and may include other non-cash collateral such as letters of credit at ICE NGX, European emission allowance certificates or gold at ICE Clear Europe, to mitigate credit risk. For certain deposits, we may impose discount or “haircut” rates to ensure adequate collateral if market values fluctuate. These other deposits are not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets as the risks and rewards of these assets remain with the Members unless the clearing houses have sold or re-pledged the assets or in the event of a clearing member default, where the Member is no longer entitled to redeem the assets. With the exception of cash collateral, any income, gain or loss accrues to the Members. The ICE Clearing Houses do not, in the ordinary course, rehypothecate or re-pledge these assets. These pledged assets are not reflected in our balance sheets, and are as follows (in millions):

ICE NGX

ICE NGX owns a clearing house that administers the physical delivery of energy and environmental trading contracts. ICE NGX is the central counterparty to Members on opposite sides of its physically-settled contracts, and the balance related to delivered but unpaid contracts is recorded as a delivery contract net receivable, with an offsetting delivery contract net payable in our balance sheets. Unsettled variation margin equal to the fair value of open contracts is recorded as of each balance sheet date. There is no impact on our consolidated statements of income as an equal amount is recognized as both an asset and a liability. ICE NGX marks all of its outstanding physical natural gas, physical environmental and physical power contracts to market daily and requires full collateralization of net accrued variation losses. Due to the highly liquid nature and the short period of time to maturity, the fair values of our delivery contract net payable and net receivable are determined to approximate carrying value.

ICE NGX requires Members to maintain cash or letters of credit to serve as collateral in the event of default. The cash is maintained in a segregated bank account for the benefit of the Member, and remains the property of the Member and, therefore, it is not included in our consolidated balance sheets. ICE NGX maintains a committed daylight-overnight liquidity facility in the amount of $100 million with an additional $200 million uncommitted with a third-party Canadian chartered bank which provides liquidity in the event of a settlement shortfall, subject to certain conditions.

As of June 30, 2025, ICE NGX maintains a guaranty fund of $215 million funded by a $200 million letter of credit issued by a major Canadian chartered bank and backed by default insurance underwritten by Export Development Canada, or EDC, a Crown corporation operated at arm’s length from the Canadian government, plus $15 million held as restricted cash to

24

fund the first loss amount that ICE NGX is responsible for under the default insurance policy. In the event of a participant default where the Member’s collateral is depleted, the shortfall would be covered by a draw down on the letter of credit following which ICE NGX would file a claim under the default insurance to recover additional losses up to $200 million beyond the $15 million first-loss amount that ICE NGX is responsible for under the default insurance policy. ICE NGX has also set aside $30 million of its own capital that could be used for liquidity purposes in the event of a Contracting Party default.

Clearing House Exposure

Each ICE Clearing House bears financial counterparty credit risk and provides a central counterparty guarantee, or performance guarantee, to its Members. In its guarantor role, each ICE Clearing House has equal and offsetting claims to and from Members on opposite sides of each contract, standing as an intermediary on every contract cleared. To reduce their exposure, the ICE Clearing Houses have a risk management program with both initial and ongoing membership standards. The ICE Clearing Houses mark all outstanding contracts to market and, with the exception of ICE NGX, pay and collect variation margin at least once daily.

Excluding the effects of original and variation margin, guaranty fund and collateral requirements and default insurance, the ICE Clearing Houses’ maximum estimated exposure for this guarantee would be the intra-day or full day change in fair value if all Members who have open positions with unrealized losses simultaneously defaulted, which is an extremely unlikely scenario. The levels of original margin are calibrated such that a portfolio the ICE Clearing House may be required to liquidate post Member default can be closed or auctioned without recourse to resources other than those deposited by the defaulting Member, assuming an appropriate risk confidence level and liquidation period. In addition to the base margin model, each ICE Clearing House, depending on its products, employs a number of margin add-ons related to position concentration, clearing member capital, volatility, spread responses, recovery rate sensitivity, jump-to-default, and wrong-way risk.

We also performed assessments to determine the fair value of our counterparty performance guarantee taking into consideration factors such as daily settlement of contracts, margining and collateral requirements, other elements of our risk management program, historical evidence of default payments, and estimated probability of potential default payouts by the ICE Clearing Houses. Based on these analyses, the estimated counterparty performance guarantee liability was determined to be nominal, and no liability was recorded as of June 30, 2025. The ICE Clearing Houses have never experienced an incident of a clearing member default which has required the use of the guaranty funds of non-defaulting clearing members or the assets of the ICE Clearing Houses.

12.    Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of our business, from time to time we are subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits, government investigations and other claims with respect to a variety of matters. In addition, we are subject to periodic reviews, inspections, examinations and investigations by regulators in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, any of which may result in claims, legal proceedings, assessments, fines, penalties, restrictions on our business or other sanctions. We record estimated expenses and reserves for legal or regulatory matters or other claims when these matters present loss contingencies that are probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable and gain contingencies when they become certain. Any such accruals may be adjusted as circumstances change. Assessments of losses are inherently subjective and involve unpredictable factors. While the outcome of legal and regulatory matters is inherently difficult to predict and/or the range of loss often cannot be reasonably estimable, we do not believe that the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from the resolution of the various legal and regulatory matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business are likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially and adversely affected by any developments relating to these legal and regulatory matters. A range of possible losses related to certain cases cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, except for $19 million of accruals related to regulatory matters, of which $4 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Individual matter disclosures in this Form 10-Q are limited to new significant matters or significant updates on existing matters since our 2024 Form 10-K.

For further information on our legal and regulatory matters, see Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2024 Form 10-K.

13.    Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the

25

measurement date. Our financial instruments consist primarily of certain short-term and long-term assets and liabilities, customer accounts receivable, margin deposits and guaranty funds, equity and equity method investments, and short-term and long-term debt.

The fair value of our financial instruments is measured based on a three-level hierarchy:

•Level 1 inputs — quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 inputs — observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly observable.

•Level 3 inputs — unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Our mutual funds are equity and fixed income mutual funds held for the purpose of providing future payments for our supplemental executive savings plan and our supplemental executive retirement plan. These mutual funds are classified as equity investments and measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs with adjustments recorded in net income.

Excluding our equity investments without a readily determinable fair value, all other financial instruments are determined to approximate carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities.

We did not use Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

See Note 11 for the fair value considerations related to our margin deposits, guaranty funds and delivery contracts receivable.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We measure certain assets, such as intangible assets and equity method investments, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value if they are deemed to be impaired. As of June 30, 2025, none of our intangible assets or equity method investments were required to be recorded at fair value since no impairments were identified. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, with the exception of a $3 million impairment of a developed technology intangible asset within the Exchanges segment, none of our intangible assets or equity method investments were required to be recorded at fair value since no impairments were identified.

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a gain of $2 million on one of our other equity method investments.

We measure certain equity investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis using our policy election under ASC 321. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, no material adjustments were recorded. With the exception of a fair value loss of $3 million, which we recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024, no other adjustments were required during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

The table below displays the fair value of our debt as of June 30, 2025. The fair values of our fixed rate notes were estimated using Level 2 inputs including quoted market prices for these instruments. The fair value of our commercial paper was estimated using Level 2 inputs. The commercial paper includes a discount and fair value was determined to approximate the carrying value due to the short term to maturity.

14.    Segment Reporting

Our business is conducted through three reportable business segments:

•Exchanges: We operate regulated marketplace technology for the listing, trading and clearing of a broad array of derivatives contracts and financial securities as well as data and connectivity services related to our exchanges and clearing houses;

•Fixed Income and Data Services: We provide fixed income pricing, reference data, indices, analytics and execution services as well as global CDS clearing and multi-asset class data delivery technology; and

•Mortgage Technology: We provide a technology platform that offers customers comprehensive, digital workflow tools that aim to address inefficiencies and mitigate risks that exist in the U.S. residential mortgage market life cycle from application through closing, servicing and the secondary market.

Our chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is our Chair and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM uses operating income/(loss) to assess performance and allocate resources for each of our segments, including decisions on product pricing and new products, strategic mergers and acquisitions, marketing costs, capital expenditures, employee headcount and compensation. Our CODM evaluates both budgeted and actual operating income/(loss), and the related growth, when assessing performance and making decisions about allocating resources as described above. The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Form 10-K.

The information and amounts presented in the tables below align with the segment-level information regularly provided to our CODM. While revenues are recorded specifically in the segment in which they are earned or to which they relate, a significant portion of our operating expenses are not solely related to a specific segment because the expenses serve functions that are necessary for the operation of more than one segment. We directly allocate expenses when reasonably possible to do so. Otherwise, we use a pro-rata revenue approach as the allocation method for the expenses that do not relate solely to one segment and serve functions that are necessary for the operation of all segments. Our significant expense categories are other operating expenses, depreciation and amortization expense and acquisition-related transaction and integration costs. Other operating expenses include the aggregate of compensation and benefits, professional services, technology and communication, rent and occupancy and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Our CODM does not review total assets or statements of income below operating income by segment; therefore, such information is not presented below. Our three segments do not engage in intersegment transactions.

27

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we changed the caption of a disaggregated revenue line item in our Fixed Income and Data Services segment previously presented as "Other data and network services" to "Data and network technology" within the tables below. This name change was made to better reflect the nature of the revenues included in this caption and did not impact the measurement or classification of revenue included in this caption.

Financial data for our business segments is as follows for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):

15.    Earnings Per Common Share

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions, except per share amounts):

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Basic:
Net income attributable to Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.	$	1,648	$	1,399	$	851	$	632
Weighted average common shares outstanding	574		573		573		573
Basic earnings per common share	$	2.87	$	2.44	$	1.49	$	1.10
Diluted:
Weighted average common shares outstanding	574		573		573		573
Effect of dilutive securities - stock options and restricted stock	2		2		2		2
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	576		575		575		575
Diluted earnings per common share	$	2.86	$	2.43	$	1.48	$	1.10

Basic earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.

31

Common equivalent shares from stock options and restricted stock awards, calculated using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per share calculations unless the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. There were no antidilutive stock options or restricted stock awards outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were 0.6 million outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because had they been included, they would have had an antidilutive effect.

16.    Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events and determined that no events or transactions met the definition of a subsequent event for purposes of recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of technology and data to a broad range of customers including financial institutions, corporations and government entities. Our products, which span major asset classes including futures, equities, fixed income and U.S. residential mortgages, provide our customers with access to mission critical tools that are designed to increase asset class transparency and workflow efficiency. Although we report our results in three reportable business segments, we operate as one business, leveraging the collective expertise, particularly in data services and technology, that exists across our platforms to inform and enhance our operations. Our segments are as follows:

•Exchanges: We operate regulated marketplace technology for the listing, trading and clearing of a broad array of derivatives contracts and financial securities as well as data and connectivity services related to our exchanges and clearing houses.

•Fixed Income and Data Services: We provide fixed income pricing, reference data, indices, analytics and execution services as well as global CDS clearing and multi-asset class data delivery technology.

•Mortgage Technology: We provide a technology platform that offers customers comprehensive, digital workflow tools that aim to address inefficiencies and mitigate risks that exist in the U.S. residential mortgage market life cycle from application through closing, servicing and the secondary market.

Recent Developments

Global Market Conditions

Our results of operations are affected by global economic conditions, including macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical events and conflicts. Recent macroeconomic conditions, including changes in interest rates, inflation and significant market volatility, changes in tariffs and trade policies along with geopolitical concerns, have created ongoing uncertainty and volatility in the global economy and resulted in a dynamic operating environment.

Our business has been impacted positively and negatively by these global economic conditions. For instance, due to market and interest rate volatility, including market volatility during the first half of 2025, we have seen increased trading across a number of our products, such as interest rate and equity futures, credit default swaps and bonds. Conversely, increases in mortgage interest rates over the past several years have resulted in reduced consumer and investor demand for mortgages and adversely impacted the transaction-based revenues in our Mortgage Technology segment. If mortgage rates remain high or further increase, or if mortgage lending practices change, our Mortgage Technology segment revenues may be further impacted. In addition, higher interest rates have resulted, and may continue to result, in higher interest rates for our debt instruments as we refinance our existing indebtedness.

From an operational perspective, our businesses, including our exchanges, clearing houses, listings venues, data services businesses and mortgage platforms, have not suffered a material negative impact as a result of the events in Ukraine and the Middle East and surrounding regions.

We expect the macroeconomic environment to remain dynamic in the near-term, and we continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, changes in tariffs and trade policies, market volatility, geopolitical events and military conflicts and repercussions from, and the impact that, any of the foregoing may have on the global economy and on our business. We also continue to closely monitor credit worthiness of our counterparties, clearing members and our financial service providers and take risk management measures in line with established risk management frameworks.

Tax Policy Changes

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law. The OBBBA made significant changes to existing U.S. federal and international tax provisions. The most impactful provisions to our business include immediate expensing of domestic U.S. research and experimental and some capital expenditures, and changes to the U.S. taxation of profits from foreign operations and the foreign-derived intangible income deduction. These provisions may have various impacts which are complicated by their different effective dates and many elections available in the OBBBA, as well as uncertainties around U.S. states’ reactions to these federal tax law changes. We are currently evaluating the impact of these provisions on our overall tax positions including their effect on our current and deferred tax assets and liabilities, effective tax rate and cash tax obligations. The OBBBA does not impact our financial statements for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2025.

Regulation

Our activities and the markets in which we operate are subject to regulations that impact us as well as our customers, and, in turn, meaningfully influence our activities, the manner in which we operate and our strategy. We are primarily subject to the jurisdiction of regulatory agencies in the U.S., U.K., EU, Canada, Singapore and Abu Dhabi. Failure to satisfy regulatory requirements can or may give rise to sanctions by the applicable regulator.

Global policy makers have undertaken reviews of their existing legal framework governing financial markets in connection with regulatory reform, and have either passed new laws and regulations, or are in the process of debating and/or enacting new laws and regulations that apply to our business and to our customers’ businesses. Legislative and regulatory actions may impact the way in which we or our customers conduct business and may create uncertainty, which could affect trading volumes or demand for market data. See Part 1, Item 1 “Business — Regulation” and Part 1, Item 1(A) "Risk Factors" included in our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of the primary regulations applicable to our business and certain risks associated with those regulations.

Domestic and foreign policy makers continue to review their legal frameworks governing financial markets, and periodically change the laws and regulations that apply to our business and to our customers’ businesses. Our key areas of focus on these evolving efforts are:

•EU Benchmarks Regulation. In May 2025, the amended EU Benchmarks Regulation was published in the Official Journal of the EU. Key changes include reducing the scope to only include benchmarks defined as critical or

35

significant, EU Paris-aligned benchmarks, EU Climate Transition benchmarks and certain commodity benchmarks. ICE Benchmark Administration and ICE Data Indices are seeking recognition from the European Securities and Markets Authority, or ESMA, as a third-country benchmark administrator in advance of the transition period expiration on December 31, 2025.

•Recognition of our Businesses in Foreign Jurisdictions and Continued Access by Market Participants. In January 2025, the European Commission adopted a new equivalence decision that allows continued access by EU firms to clear trades at U.K. central counterparties until June 30, 2028. Subsequently, in March 2025, ESMA extended the tiering determination and recognition decisions for ICE Clear Europe until June 30, 2028, which allows continued access for EU firms to clear trades at ICE Clear Europe.

•Executive Order Protecting American Energy. In April 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at securing U.S. energy dominance which requires the U.S. Attorney General to identify state and local regulations which are unconstitutional or pre-empted by federal law and burden the development and production of energy resources. Further, the Executive Order directs the Attorney General to identify state laws addressing climate change or involving carbon or greenhouse gas initiatives. If the Attorney General identifies state climate change-related programs and is successful in a legal challenge which results in overturning these state laws, certain environmental markets based on state compliance markets traded at ICE Futures U.S. and cleared at ICE Clear Europe could be impacted. We are monitoring the developments of this Executive Order and any impact on our markets.

•EMIR 3.0. In June 2025, ESMA released its final report on the Regulatory Technical Standards for the Active Account Requirement under EMIR 3.0. The Active Account Requirement mandates EU market participants to establish accounts for euro-denominated short-term interest rate derivatives at an EU central counterparty and clear a certain number of trades in an EU account. The Active Account Requirement could result in a reduced volume of trading and clearing of euro-denominated short-term interest rate derivatives at ICE Futures Europe and ICE Clear Europe.

•EU Sanctions Against Russia. In July 2025, the EU approved additional sanctions against Russia including the prohibition on importing Russian petroleum refined in other countries. This restriction may impact the Low Sulphur Gasoil contract traded at ICE Futures Europe and cleared at ICE Clear Europe. We are monitoring the developments of the additional sanctions and any impact on our markets.

(1) We define recurring revenues as the portion of our revenues that are generally predictable, stable, and can be expected to occur at regular intervals in the future with a relatively high degree of certainty and visibility. We define transaction revenues as those associated with a more specific point-in-time service, such as a trade execution. Management evaluates recurring revenues and transaction revenues, net, when making financial and operating decisions and believes they are a useful metric in evaluating our business performance. The definitions of recurring revenues and transaction revenues are not uniform, and therefore the revenues we consider recurring versus transaction may differ from those of other companies. Recurring and transaction revenues are operating metrics and do not necessarily reflect the pattern of revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP revenue.

(2) The adjusted figures exclude items that are not reflective of our ongoing core operations and business performance. Adjusted net income attributable to ICE and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to ICE common stockholders are presented net of taxes. These adjusted figures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

(3) We believe these non-GAAP liquidity measures provide useful information to management and investors to analyze cash resources generated from our operations. We believe that free cash flow is useful as one of the bases for comparing our performance with our competitors and demonstrates our ability to convert the reinvestment of capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs required to maintain and grow our business. We believe that adjusted free cash flow eliminates the impact of timing differences related to the payment of Section 31 fees. These figures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See “—Non-GAAP Liquidity Measures” below.

•Revenues, less transaction-based expenses, increased $409 million and $226 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. See "—Exchanges Segment", "—Fixed Income and Data Services Segment" and "—Mortgage Technology Segment" below for a discussion of the significant changes in our revenues. The change in revenues during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 includes $13 million and $21 million, respectively, in favorable foreign exchange effects arising from fluctuations in the U.S. dollar from the comparable periods in 2024.

•Operating expenses increased $20 million and decreased $5 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. See "—Consolidated Operating Expenses" below for a discussion of the significant changes in our operating expenses. The changes in operating expenses during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 includes $5 million and $6 million, respectively, in unfavorable foreign exchange effects arising from fluctuations in the U.S. dollar from the comparable periods in 2024.

Variability in Quarterly Comparisons

Our business environment has been characterized by:

•globalization of marketplaces, customers and competitors;

38

•growing customer demand for workflow efficiency and automation;

•commodity, interest rate, inflation rate and financial markets volatility and uncertainty;

•growing demand for data to inform customers' risk management and investment decisions;

•evolving, increasing and disparate regulation across multiple jurisdictions;

•price volatility increasing customers' demand for risk management services;

•increasing focus on capital and cost efficiencies;

•customers' preference to manage risk in markets demonstrating the greatest depth of liquidity and product diversity;

•the evolution of existing products and new product innovation to serve emerging customer needs and changing industry agreements;

•emerging technology initiatives and offerings in our markets, including the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning;

•rising demand for speed, data, data capacity and connectivity by market participants, necessitating increased investment in technology; and

•consolidation and increasing competition among global markets for trading, clearing and listings.

For additional information regarding the factors that affect our results of operations, see Item 1(A) “Risk Factors” included in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Segment Results

Our business is conducted through three reportable business segments:

•Exchanges: We operate regulated marketplace technology for the listing, trading and clearing of a broad array of derivatives contracts and financial securities as well as data and connectivity services related to our exchanges and clearing houses;

•Fixed Income and Data Services: We provide fixed income pricing, reference data, indices, analytics and execution services as well as global CDS clearing and multi-asset class data delivery technology; and

•Mortgage Technology: We provide a technology platform that offers customers comprehensive, digital workflow tools that aim to address inefficiencies and mitigate risks that exist in the U.S. residential mortgage market life cycle, from application through closing, servicing and the secondary market.

While revenues are recorded specifically in the segment in which they are earned or to which they relate, a significant portion of our operating expenses are not solely related to a specific segment because the expenses serve functions that are necessary for the operation of more than one segment. We directly allocate expenses when reasonably possible to do so. Otherwise, we use a pro-rata revenue approach as the allocation method for the expenses that do not relate solely to one segment and serve functions that are necessary for the operation of all segments. Our segments do not engage in intersegment transactions.

*Percentage changes in the table above deemed "n/a" are not meaningful.

Exchanges Revenues

Our Exchanges segment includes transaction and clearing revenues from our futures and NYSE exchanges, related data and connectivity services, and our listings business. Transaction and clearing revenues consist of fees collected from derivatives, cash equities and equity options trading and derivatives clearing, and are reported on a net basis, except for the NYSE transaction-based expenses discussed below. Rates per-contract, or RPC, are driven by the number of contracts or securities traded and the fees charged per contract, net of certain rebates. Our per-contract transaction and clearing revenues will depend upon many factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions, transaction and clearing volume, product mix, pricing, applicable revenue sharing and market making agreements, and new product introductions.

Transaction and clearing revenues are generally assessed on a per-contract basis and revenues and profitability fluctuate with changes in contract volume and product mix. We consider data and connectivity services revenues and listings revenues to be recurring revenues. Our data and connectivity services revenues are recurring subscription fees related to the various data and connectivity services that we provide which are directly attributable to our exchange venues. Our listings revenues are also recurring subscription fees that we earn for the provision of NYSE listings services for public companies and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, and related corporate actions for listed companies.

For the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, 24% and 23%, respectively, of our Exchanges segment revenues, less transaction-based expenses, were billed in pounds sterling or euros. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, 23% and 22%, respectively, of our Exchanges segment revenues, less transaction-based expenses, were billed in pounds sterling or euros. Due to the fluctuations of the pound sterling and euro compared to the U.S. dollar, our Exchanges segment revenues, less transaction-based expenses, were higher by $11 million and $18 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024.

Our Exchange transaction and clearing revenues are presented net of rebates. We recorded rebates of $842 million and $616 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $440 million and $319 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We offer rebates in certain of our markets primarily to support

41

market liquidity and trading volume by providing qualified participants in those markets a discount to the applicable commission rate. Such rebates are calculated based on volumes traded. The increase in rebates for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to higher volumes traded as compared to the comparable periods in 2024.

•Energy Futures and Options: Total volumes in our energy futures and options markets increased 25% for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024 and revenues increased 24% and 27% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024.

–Oil futures and options volume increased 25% and 32% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, due to a confluence of geopolitical risks and macroeconomic uncertainty.

–Global natural gas futures and options volume increased 24% and 14% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. The volume increase in our North American gas products was driven by volatility related to shifting supply and demand dynamics. In addition, continued growth in our TTF complex was, in part, driven by supply disruption and geopolitical uncertainty.

–Environmentals and other futures and options volume increased 15% and 6% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, due to higher power and environmental volumes compared to the prior year periods.

•Agricultural and Metals Futures and Options: Total volumes in our agricultural and metals futures and options markets decreased 11% and 8% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024 and revenues decreased 10% for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024. In the first half of 2025, increased sugar, cotton, and canola volumes were more than offset by lower coffee and cocoa volumes.

–Sugar futures and options volumes increased 11% and 2% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, driven by volatility related to shifting supply and demand dynamics.

–Other agricultural and metal futures and options volume decreased 23% and 15% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, primarily driven by elevated prices related to supply constraints, geopolitical risks and shifting demand impacting our coffee and cocoa markets.

•Financial Futures and Options: Total volumes in our financial futures and options markets increased 28% for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024 and revenues increased 18% and 21% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. The first half of 2025 benefited from higher volatility related to market uncertainties surrounding trade policy, central bank policy and geopolitical events.

–Interest rate futures and options volume increased 32% for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024 and revenue increased 22% and 27% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, driven by elevated volatility related to divergence of rate paths by central banks and trade policy uncertainty.

–Other financial futures and options volume, which includes our MSCI®, FTSE® and NYSE FANG+ equity indices, U.S. Dollar Index and foreign exchange products, increased 3% and 2% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024 and revenue increased 8% and 7% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. The overall increase in other financial futures and options volume was primarily due to higher equity market volatility than during the comparable periods in 2024.

•Cash Equities and Equity Options: Cash equities volume increased 34% and 47% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, primarily due to higher industry volumes. Cash equities revenues, net of transaction-based expenses, were $164 million and $151 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $83 million and $80 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in revenues was driven by an increase in volume, partially offset by lower market share. Equity options volume increased 6% and 5% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, driven by higher industry volumes. Equity options revenues, net of

42

transaction-based expenses, were $78 million and $59 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $40 million and $31 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

•OTC and Other: OTC and other transactions include revenues from our OTC energy business and other trade confirmation services, as well as net interest income and fees on certain clearing margin deposits, regulatory penalties and fines, fees for use of our facilities, regulatory fees charged to member organizations of our U.S. securities exchanges, designated market maker service fees, exchange membership fees and agricultural grading and certification fees. Our OTC and other revenues decreased 2% and 4% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024.

•Data and Connectivity Services: Our data and connectivity services revenues increased 5% and 6% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. The increase in revenue was driven by the strong retention rate of existing customers, the addition of new customers and increased purchases by existing customers.

•Listings Revenues: Through NYSE, NYSE American, NYSE Arca and NYSE Texas, we generate listings revenue related to the provision of listings services for public companies and ETFs, and related corporate actions for listed companies. Listings revenues increased 1% for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024. All listings fees are billed upfront, and revenues are recognized over time as the identified performance obligations are satisfied.

Selected Operating Data

Volume of contracts traded, futures and options rate per contract and open interest are measures that we use in analyzing the performance of our futures and options contracts. Handled volume, matched volume and cash equities and equity options rate per contract are measures that we use in analyzing our NYSE cash equities and equity options performance. We believe each of these measures provides useful information for management and investors in understanding our performance. Management considers these metrics when making financial and operating decisions. Our calculation of these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following charts and tables present trading activity in our futures and options markets by commodity type based on the total number of contracts traded, as well as futures and options rate per contract (in millions, except for percentages and rate per contract amounts):

Open interest is the aggregate number of contracts (long or short) that clearing members hold either for their own account or on behalf of their clients. Open interest refers to the total number of contracts that are currently “open,” in other words, contracts that have been entered into but not yet liquidated by either an offsetting trade, exercise, expiration or assignment. Open interest is also a measure that we believe is useful for management and investors in understanding future activity remaining to be closed out in terms of the number of contracts that members and their clients continue to hold in the particular contract and by the number of contracts held for each contract month listed by the exchange. The following charts and table present our quarter-end open interest for our futures and options contracts (in thousands, except for percentages):

Handled volume represents the total number of shares of equity securities, ETFs and crossing session activity internally matched on our exchanges or routed to and executed on an external market center. Matched volume represents the total number of shares of equity securities, ETFs and crossing session activity executed on our exchanges.

Transaction-Based Expenses

Our equities and equity options markets pay fees to the SEC pursuant to Section 31 of the Exchange Act. Section 31 fees are recorded on a gross basis as a component of transaction and clearing fee revenue. These Section 31 fees are assessed to recover the government’s costs of supervising and regulating the securities markets and professionals and are subject to change. We, in turn, collect corresponding activity assessment fees from member organizations clearing or settling trades on the equities and options exchanges, and recognize these amounts in our transaction and clearing revenues when invoiced. The activity assessment fees are designed to equal the Section 31 fees. As a result, activity assessment fees and the corresponding Section 31 fees do not have an impact on our net income, although the timing of

45

payment by us will vary from collections. Section 31 fees were $412 million and $205 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $150 million and $138 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in Section 31 fees during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in volumes during the period combined with higher rates and the increase in Section 31 fees during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in volumes, partially offset by lower rates. The fees we collect are included in cash at the time of receipt and we remit the amounts to the SEC twice a year as required. The total amount of Section 31 fees payable is included in current liabilities and was $409 million as of June 30, 2025.

We make liquidity payments to cash and options trading customers, as well as routing charges made to other exchanges which are included in transaction-based expenses. We incur routing charges when we do not have the best bid or offer in the market for a security that a customer is trying to buy or sell on one of our securities exchanges. In that case, we route the customer’s order to the external market center that displays the best bid or offer. The external market center charges us a fee per share (denominated in tenths of a cent per share) for routing to its system. We record routing charges on a gross basis as a component of transaction and clearing fee revenue. Cash liquidity payments, routing and clearing fees were $1.1 billion and $886 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $569 million and $442 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In the table above, we consider fixed income data and analytics revenues and data and network technology revenues to be recurring revenues.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we changed the caption of a disaggregated revenue line item in our Fixed Income and Data Services segment previously presented as "Other data and network services" to "Data and network technology" within the table above. This name change was made to better reflect the nature of the revenues included in this caption and did not impact the measurement or classification of revenue included in this caption.

For the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, 10% and 11%, respectively, of our Fixed Income and Data Services segment revenues were billed in pounds sterling or euros. For both of the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, 11% of our Fixed Income and Data Services segment revenues were billed in pounds sterling or euros. As the pound sterling or euro exchange rate changes, the U.S. equivalent of revenues denominated in foreign currencies changes accordingly. Due to the fluctuations of the pound sterling and euro compared to the U.S. dollar, our Fixed Income and Data Services revenues were higher by $2 million and $3 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024.

Fixed Income and Data Services Revenues

Our Fixed Income and Data Services revenues increased 5% and 6% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, primarily due to strength in our fixed income data and analytics products and our data and network technology.

•Fixed Income Execution: Fixed income execution includes revenues from ICE Bonds. Execution fees are reported net of rebates, which were $6 million and $4 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $5 million and $2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Our fixed income execution revenues increased 12% and 8% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024 driven by market volatility related to geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.

•CDS Clearing: CDS clearing revenues increased 3% and 5% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. The notional value of CDS cleared was $12.8 trillion and $9.1 trillion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $5.8 trillion and $4.1 trillion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The overall increase in the notional value of CDS cleared was primarily driven by market volatility related to geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.

•Fixed Income Data and Analytics: Our fixed income data and analytics revenues increased 4% for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024 due to growth in our pricing and reference data business and strength in our index business.

•Data and Network Technology: Our data and network technology revenues increased 7% and 8% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, driven by growth in our ICE Global Network offering, coupled with strength in our consolidated feeds, desktop and derivative analytics revenues.

Annual Subscription Value, or ASV, represents, at a point in time, data services revenues, which include Fixed Income Data and Analytics as well as Data and Network Technology, subscribed for the succeeding 12 months. ASV does not include new sales, contract terminations or price changes that may occur during that 12-month period. However, while it is an indicative forward-looking metric, it does not provide a precise growth forecast of the next 12 months of data services revenues. Management considers ASV metrics when making financial and operating decisions and believes ASV is useful for management and investors in understanding our data services business performance.

As of June 30, 2025, ASV was $1.927 billion, which increased 7.3% compared to the ASV as of June 30, 2024. ASV represents nearly 100% of total data services revenues for this segment. This does not adjust for year-over-year foreign exchange fluctuations.

In the table above, we consider subscription fees to be recurring revenues. Each revenue classification above contains a mix of recurring and transaction revenues based on the various service offerings described in more detail below.

Mortgage Technology Revenues

Our mortgage technology revenues are derived from our comprehensive, end-to-end U.S. residential mortgage platform. Our mortgage technology business is intended to enable greater workflow efficiency and mitigate risks for customers throughout the mortgage life cycle. Mortgage technology revenues increased 4% and 5% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024.

•Origination technology: Our origination technology revenues increased 2% and 4% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, driven by Encompass and Encompass Network revenues. Our origination technology acts as a system of record for the mortgage transaction, automating the gathering, reviewing, and verifying of mortgage-related information and enabling automated enforcement of rules and business practices designed to help ensure that each completed loan transaction is of high quality and adheres to secondary market standards. These revenues are based on recurring Software as a Service, or SaaS, subscription fees, with an additive transaction-based or success-based pricing fee as lenders exceed the number of loans closed that are included with their monthly base subscription, as well as professional services.

In addition, the ICE Mortgage Technology network provides originators connectivity to the mortgage supply chain and facilitates the secure exchange of information between our customers and a broad ecosystem of third-party service providers, as well as lenders and investors that are critical to consummating the millions of loan transactions that occur on our origination network each year. Revenue from the ICE Mortgage Technology network is largely transaction-based.

•Closing solutions: Our closing solutions revenues increased 9% and 10% during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, driven by continued adoption of digital solutions. Our closing solutions connect key participants, such as lenders, title and settlement agents and individual county recorders, to digitize the closing and recording process. Closing solutions also include revenues from our MERSCORP Holdings, Inc., or MERS, database, which provides a system of record for recording and tracking changes, servicing rights and beneficial ownership interests in loans secured by U.S. residential real estate. Revenues from closing solutions are largely transaction-based and are based on the volume of loans closed.

•Servicing software: Our servicing software revenues increased 4% for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024, driven by MSP and default management revenues. Our servicing software revenues include integrated mortgage servicing solutions, which help automate all areas of the servicing process, from loan boarding to final payment or default, to help lower costs, reduce risk and improve financial performance. Our servicing solutions support first lien mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit on a single platform to manage all servicing processes, including loan setup and maintenance, escrow administration, investor

51

reporting, and regulatory requirements. We also provide solutions that provide consumers with access to customized, timely information about their mortgages and allow our clients’ customer service representatives to access the same customer information, which is key to increasing borrower retention. Another servicing solution provides clients, third-party providers and their developers access to our growing catalog of application programming interfaces, or APIs, across the mortgage life cycle. Revenues from servicing solutions are largely subscription-based and recurring in nature based on number of loans serviced.

Our default servicing solutions help simplify the complex process for loans that move into default, while supporting servicers with their compliance requirements and to facilitate more efficient loss mitigation processes.

We also offer advanced technology to support the bankruptcy and foreclosure process, and more efficiently manage claims related to properties in foreclosure, as well as tools to support loss analysis, to help servicers make the right decisions at the right time. Revenues from default servicing solutions are largely transaction-based and are based on foreclosure volume.

•Data and analytics: Our Data and Analytics revenues increased 3% and 7% during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, driven by continued adoption of data solutions and increased purchases by existing customers. Data and Analytics revenues include those related to ICE Mortgage Technology’s Data & Document Automation and Mortgage Analyzer solutions, or Analyzer, which offers customers greater efficiency by streamlining data collection and validation through our automated document recognition and data extraction capabilities. Analyzer revenues can be both recurring and transaction-based in nature. In addition, our data offerings include real-time industry and peer benchmarking tools, which provide originators a granular view into the real-time trends of the U.S. residential mortgage market, as well as credit and prepayment models, custom and proprietary analytics, valuation, and MLS solutions. We also provide de-identified mortgage origination data for lenders and industry participants to access industry data and origination information. Revenues related to our data products are largely subscription-based and recurring in nature. The data and insights from these solutions inform, support and enhance our other solutions to help lenders and servicers make more informed decisions, improve performance, identify and predict risk and generate more qualified leads. Revenues related to our data products are largely subscription-based and recurring in nature.

Our data and analytics offerings include property ownership data, lien data, servicing data, automated valuation models and collateral risk scores, among others, provided to clients in the mortgage, real estate and capital markets verticals.

Operating Expenses, Operating Income/(Loss) and Operating Margin

Consolidated Operating Expenses

The following presents our consolidated operating expenses (dollars in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Three Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024		Change		2025		2024		Change
Compensation and benefits	$	980	$	935	5	%	$	499	$	473	5	%
Professional services	81		74		10		41		38		9
Acquisition-related transaction and integration costs	42		51		(17)		10		15		(29)
Technology and communication	428		419		2		215		214		—
Rent and occupancy	41		59		(31)		20		30		(33)
Selling, general and administrative	142		178		(20)		66		100		(33)
Depreciation and amortization	784		762		3		395		381		4
Total operating expenses	$	2,498	$	2,478	1	%	$	1,246	$	1,251	—	%

The majority of our operating expenses do not vary directly with changes in our volume and revenues, except for certain technology and communication expenses, including data acquisition costs, licensing and other fee-related arrangements and a portion of our compensation expense that is tied directly to our data sales or overall financial performance.

We expect our operating expenses to increase in absolute terms in future periods in connection with the growth of our business, and to vary from year-to-year based on the type and level of our acquisitions, integration of acquisitions and other investments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 8% and 7%, respectively, of our operating expenses were billed in pounds sterling or euros. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 9% and 7%, respectively, of our

53

operating expenses were billed in pounds sterling or euros. Due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar compared to the pound sterling and euro, our consolidated operating expenses were higher by $5 million and $6 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024.

Compensation and Benefits Expenses

Compensation and benefits expense is our most significant operating expense and includes non-capitalized employee wages, bonuses, non-cash or stock compensation, certain severance costs, benefits and employer taxes. The bonus and stock compensation components of our compensation and benefits expense are based on both our financial performance and individual employee performance. Therefore, our compensation and benefits expense will vary year-to-year based on our financial performance and fluctuations in our number of employees. The below chart summarizes the significant drivers of our compensation and benefits expense results for the periods presented (dollars in millions, except employee headcount).

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Three Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024		Change		2025		2024		Change
Employee headcount	12,806		12,937		(1)	%
Stock-based compensation expenses	$	106	$	104	2	%	$	54	$	53	2	%

Employee headcount decreased from the comparable period in 2024 primarily due to headcount reductions in conjunction with realizing synergies from the Black Knight acquisition. Compensation and benefits expense increased $45 million and $26 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, primarily due to the impact of merit-related pay increases, increased medical claim activity, and the impact of integrating Black Knight employees into our compensation and benefit plans, partially offset by the alignment of the Black Knight capitalized labor process.

The stock-based compensation expenses in the table above relate to employee stock option and restricted stock awards and exclude stock-based compensation related to acquisition-related transaction and integration costs.

Professional Services Expenses

Professional services expense includes fees for consulting services received on strategic and technology initiatives, temporary labor, as well as regulatory, legal and accounting fees, and may fluctuate as a result of changes in our use of these services in our business.

Professional services expenses increased $7 million and $3 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024, primarily due to increases in NYSE regulatory consulting fees and higher general legal expenses on certain corporate matters.

Acquisition-Related Transaction and Integration Costs

We incurred $42 million and $51 million in acquisition-related transaction and integration costs during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $10 million and $15 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily due to integration costs related to Black Knight.

We expect to continue to explore and pursue various potential acquisitions and other strategic opportunities to strengthen our competitive position and support our growth. As a result, we may incur acquisition-related transaction costs in future periods.

Technology and Communication Expenses

Technology support services consist of costs for running our wholly-owned data centers, hosting costs paid to third-party data centers and maintenance of our computer hardware and software required to support our technology and cybersecurity. These costs are driven by system capacity, functionality and redundancy requirements. Communication expenses consist of costs for network connections for our electronic platforms and telecommunications costs.

Technology and communications expense also includes fees paid for access to external market data, licensing and other fee agreement expenses. Technology and communications expenses may be impacted by growth in electronic contract volume, our capacity requirements, changes in the number of telecommunications hubs and connections with customers to access our electronic platforms directly.

Technology and communications expenses increased $9 million and $1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024 primarily due to increases in hosting, security and

54

customer network costs, combined with rising revenues on certain products causing an increase in our revenue share license expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease in data services costs.

Rent and Occupancy Expenses

Rent and occupancy expense relates to leased and owned property and includes rent, maintenance, real estate taxes, utilities and other related costs. We have significant operations located in the U.S., U.K., and India, with smaller offices located throughout the world.

Rent and occupancy expenses decreased $18 million and $10 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024 primarily due to duplicate rent during the consolidation of and exit from certain of our London and New York leased offices in 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include marketing, advertising, public relations, insurance, bank service charges, dues and subscriptions, travel and entertainment, non-income taxes and other general and administrative costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $36 million and $34 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the $30 million of expense for valid claims made following an equity trading issue at NYSE that occurred in June 2024 impacting only the six and three months ended June 30, 2024. The remaining change is due to lower customer acquisition costs at the NYSE partially offset by a $4 million accrual related to a regulatory matter during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expense results from depreciation of long-lived assets such as buildings, leasehold improvements, aircraft, hardware and networking equipment, purchased software, internally-developed software, furniture, fixtures and equipment over their estimated useful lives. This expense also includes amortization of intangible assets obtained in our acquisitions of businesses over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of customer relationships, technology, data & databases and trademarks & trade names.

We recorded amortization expenses on intangible assets acquired as part of our acquisitions, as well as on other intangible assets of $506 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $253 million and $252 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization expense during the six months ended June 30, 2024 includes a $3 million impairment of a developed technology intangible asset.

We recorded depreciation expenses on our fixed assets of $278 million and $256 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $142 million and $129 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This change was primarily due to increases in internally developed software assets, partially offset by lower depreciation of computer and network equipment.

Consolidated Non-Operating Income/(Expense)

Income and expenses incurred through activities outside of our core operations are considered non-operating. The following tables present our non-operating income/(expenses) (dollars in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Three Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024		Change		2025		2024		Change
Other income/(expense):
Interest income	$	64	$	66	(2)	%	$	31	$	36	(13)	%
Interest expense	(407)		(474)		(14)		(201)		(233)		(14)
Other income/(expense), net	24		104		(77)		5		(8)		(164)
Total other income/(expense), net	$	(319)	$	(304)	5	%	$	(165)	$	(205)	(19)	%
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests	$	(29)	$	(23)	25	%	$	(14)	$	(7)	90	%

Interest Income

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we earned interest income of $64 million and $31 million, respectively. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, we earned interest income of $66 million and $36 million, respectively. Interest income decreased during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 from the same periods in 2024 primarily due to lower interest rates which were mostly offset by increased investment balances from the net proceeds of the 2031 Notes.

55

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we earned $10 million and $3 million in interest income on short term investments related to $500 million of the net proceeds from the 2031 Notes (as defined under "—Debt", below) which we used to repay a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes at their maturity.

In addition, our clearing houses earned interest income of $40 million and $21 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $47 million and $24 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The remainder primarily relates to interest earned on various unrestricted and restricted cash balances held within our group entities.

Interest Expense

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred interest expense of $407 million and $201 million, respectively. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred interest expense of $474 million and $233 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024 primarily relates to decreased borrowings as we continued to pay down debt following the Black Knight acquisition.

•Interest expense incurred on our senior notes was $383 million and $189 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, and $373 million and $189 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due to interest incurred on the 2031 Notes issued in May 2024, partially offset by decreased interest incurred on the 2025 Notes that matured in May 2025.

•Interest expense incurred on borrowings under our Commercial Paper program was $17 million and $9 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, and $55 million and $27 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower outstanding borrowings during the period.

•We previously had a term loan that we fully repaid in the second quarter of 2024, therefore, we did not incur any interest expense on the term loan during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025. We incurred $39 million and $14 million of interest expense under our term loan obligations during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024.

•The remainder primarily relates to the interest incurred on maintaining our Credit Facility and other facilities within our group entities.

Other Income/(Expense), net

Equity and Equity Method Investments

Our equity method investments include OCC and Bakkt, among others. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $35 million of our share of estimated equity method investment income, net, and $45 million of our share of estimated equity method investment losses, net, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $6 million of our share of estimated equity method investment income, net, and $3 million of our share of estimated equity method investment losses, net, respectively.

The estimated income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily related to our share of net income of OCC. The estimated losses for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily related to our investment in Bakkt, partially offset by our share of net income of OCC. Both the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 include adjustments to reflect the difference between reported prior period actual results from our original estimates.

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a gain of $2 million on one of our other equity method investments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a fair value loss of $3 million on our equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values.

Legal & Regulatory

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a gain of $160 million related to the PennyMac arbitration final award payment.

Other

We incurred foreign currency transaction losses of $13 million and $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, primarily attributable to the fluctuations of the pound sterling and euro relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income/(expense), net, when the settlement of foreign currency assets, liabilities and payables occur in

56

non-functional currencies and there is an increase or decrease in the period-end foreign currency exchange rates between periods.

Non-controlling Interest

For consolidated subsidiaries in which our ownership is less than 100%, and for which we have control over the assets, liabilities and management of the entity, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as non-controlling interests. As of June 30, 2025, our non-controlling interests included those related to the non-ICE limited partners' interest in our CDS clearing subsidiaries and non-controlling interests in ICE Futures Abu Dhabi.

As of June 30, 2025, we also had redeemable non-controlling interests, reflected in temporary equity within our consolidated balance sheet, related to a put right held by non-ICE members to require us to purchase their interests in an entity acquired by us in 2024.

Consolidated Income Tax Provision

Consolidated income tax expense was $522 million and $403 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $267 million and $222 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in consolidated income tax expense between periods was primarily due to the tax impact of changes in our pre-tax income and the changes in our effective tax rate each period.

Our effective tax rate was 24% and 22% during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 24% and 26% during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the effective tax rate for the comparable period in 2024 primarily due to deferred tax benefits from state apportionment changes in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was lower than the effective tax rate for the comparable period in 2024 primarily due to deferred tax expenses from state apportionment changes in the prior year period and tax benefits resulting from favorable audit settlements in the current year period.

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes significant changes to existing U.S. federal and international tax provisions. These tax law changes did not affect our income tax provision for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025.

The OECD Global Anti-Base Erosion Pillar Two minimum tax rules, which generally provide for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, are intended to apply to tax years beginning in 2024. The European Union member states and many other countries, including the U.K., our most significant non-U.S. jurisdiction, have committed to implement or have already enacted legislation adopting the Pillar Two rules. In July 2023, the U.K. enacted the U.K. Finance Act 2023, effective as of January 1, 2024, which included provisions to implement certain portions of the Pillar Two minimum tax rules and included an election to apply a transitional safe harbor to extend certain effective dates to accounting periods commencing on or before December 31, 2026 and ending on or before June 30, 2028. These Pillar Two rules, including those in the U.K., did not have a material impact on our income tax provision as of June 30, 2025.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Impact

As an international business, our financial statements are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposure to foreign denominated earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 is presented by primary foreign currency in the following table (dollars in millions, except exchange rates):

(1)    Represents the impact of currency fluctuation for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in the prior year.

During both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 15% of our consolidated revenues, less transaction-based expenses were denominated in pounds sterling or euros. During both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 15% of our consolidated revenues, less transaction-based expenses were denominated in pounds sterling or euros.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 8% and 7% of our consolidated operating expenses were denominated in pounds sterling or euros. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 9% and 7% of our consolidated operating expenses were denominated in pounds sterling or euros.

As the pound sterling or euro exchange rate changes, the U.S. equivalent of revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies changes accordingly.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Below are charts that reflect our outstanding debt and capital allocation. The acquisition and integration costs in the chart below include cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired and cash received for divestitures, if any, cash paid for equity and equity method investments and acquisition-related transaction and integration costs in each period.

We have financed our operations, growth and cash needs primarily through income from operations and borrowings under our various debt facilities. Our principal capital requirements have been to fund capital expenditures, working capital, strategic acquisitions and investments, stock repurchases, dividends and the development of our technology platforms. We believe that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to repay our outstanding debt, but we may also incur additional debt or issue additional equity securities in the future. See “- Future Capital Requirements” below.

59

See “– Cash Flow” below for a discussion of our capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs.

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $1.0 billion and $844 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We had $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion in short-term and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We had $190 million and $594 million in short-term and long-term restricted investments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We had $86.2 billion and $82.1 billion of cash and cash equivalent margin deposits and guaranty funds as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025, the amount of unrestricted cash held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries was $428 million. Due to the application of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income as of January 1, 2018, the majority of our foreign earnings for the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022 have been subject to immediate U.S. income taxation and can be distributed to the U.S. in the future with no material additional U.S. income tax consequences. We made and intend to apply the high tax exception to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income in 2023, 2024 and 2025, thus the majority of our foreign earnings in 2023, 2024 and 2025 are not expected to be subject to immediate U.S. income taxation. These foreign earnings can generally be distributed to the U.S. with no material additional U.S. income tax consequences, primarily due to the availability of dividend received deductions.

Our cash and cash equivalents and financial investments are managed as a global treasury portfolio of non-speculative financial instruments that are readily convertible into cash, such as overnight deposits, term deposits, money market funds, mutual funds for treasury investments, short duration fixed income investments and other money market instruments, thus ensuring high liquidity of financial assets. We may invest a portion of our cash in excess of short-term operating needs in investment-grade marketable debt securities, including government or government-sponsored agencies and corporate debt securities.

Cash Flow

The following table presents the major components of net changes in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and cash and cash equivalent margin deposits and guaranty funds (in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024
Net cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities	$	2,472	$	2,205
Investing activities	(1,085)		72
Financing activities	2,855		(386)
Effect of exchange rate changes	35		(5)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and cash and cash equivalent margin deposits and guaranty funds	$	4,277	$	1,886

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, deferred taxes, stock-based compensation and the effects of changes in working capital.

The $267 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable period in 2024 was primarily driven by the following:

•An increase in net income of $255 million which was primarily driven by higher Exchange segment revenues partially offset by the $160 million gain related to the PennyMac arbitration final award payment recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2024;

•A decrease in non-cash adjustments to net income of $59 million primarily due to our share of net income from OCC during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to our share of net losses primarily driven by Bakkt during the six months ended June 30, 2024 partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization; and

•An increase in changes in working capital accounts of $71 million primarily due to timing of payments and cash receipts.

Investing Activities

The $1.2 billion decrease from cash provided by investing activities to cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable period in 2024 was primarily driven by the following:

60

•During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net purchases of $1.1 billion of invested margin deposits compared to net proceeds of $132 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. These amounts fluctuate based on clearinghouse treasury investment activity related to collateral and liquidity management;

•We received $75 million from the sale of a promissory note during the six months ended June 30, 2024;

•Capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs increased $46 million driven by the purchase of our new Jacksonville campus combined with increased capitalized software development costs;

•An increase in cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $5 million; and

•We had net proceeds from restricted investments of $408 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily related to $500 million of the net proceeds from the senior notes issued in May 2024 that we invested and used to repay a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes that matured in May 2025. This is compared to net proceeds from restricted investments of $201 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Financing Activities

The $3.2 billion increase from cash used in financing activities to cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable period in 2024 was primarily driven by the following:

•The change in cash and cash equivalent margin deposits and guaranty fund liability increased $4.2 billion due to increased volatility;

•During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repaid $1.3 billion of the senior notes that matured in May 2025 and during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repaid $1.6 billion of the Term Loan;

•During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net proceeds of commercial paper of $72 million as compared to net proceeds of $33 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024;

•The cost of shares withheld to satisfy taxes on employee equity awards increased $25 million due to an increase in shares that vested period over period combined with an increase in the ICE stock price;

•Dividends paid to stockholders increased $36 million primarily due to the increase in the dividend per share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024;

•We resumed share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and repurchased $496 million of shares with cash during the quarter; and

•During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we received net proceeds of $739 million from the issuance of senior notes due 2031.

Debt

As of June 30, 2025, we had $19.2 billion in outstanding debt, consisting of $18.6 billion of unsecured senior notes and $601 million under our Commercial Paper Program. Our senior notes of $18.6 billion have a weighted average to maturity of 14 years and a weighted average cost of 3.7% per annum. Our commercial paper notes had original maturities ranging from 1 to 28 days as of June 30, 2025, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.6% per annum and a weighted average remaining maturity of 15 days.

We have a $3.9 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility, with a maturity date of May 31, 2029. As of June 30, 2025, of the $3.9 billion that was available for borrowing under the Credit Facility, $601 million was required to back-stop the amount outstanding under our U.S. dollar commercial paper program, or the Commercial Paper Program, and $173 million was required to support certain broker-dealer and other subsidiary commitments. The remaining $3.1 billion is available for working capital and general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, acting as a backstop to future increases in the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program.

We previously had a $2.4 billion two-year senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility, or the Term Loan, with a maturity date of August 31, 2025. We borrowed the Term Loan in full on August 31, 2023, in connection with the Black Knight acquisition, and during the three months ended June 30, 2024, we fully repaid the amounts borrowed under the Term Loan.

Our Commercial Paper Program enables us to borrow efficiently at reasonable short-term interest rates and provides us with the flexibility to de-lever using our strong annual cash flows from operating activities whenever our leverage becomes elevated as a result of investment or acquisition activities.

Upon maturity of our commercial paper and to the extent old issuances are not repaid by cash on hand, we are exposed to the rollover risk of not being able to issue new commercial paper. To mitigate this risk, we maintain the Credit Facility for an aggregate amount which meets or exceeds the amount issued under our Commercial Paper Program at any time. If we

61

were not able to issue new commercial paper, we have the option of drawing on the backstop revolving facility. However, electing to do so would result in higher interest expense.

On February 20, 2024, we commenced a consent solicitation with respect to the outstanding notes of a subsidiary of Black Knight, or the Black Knight Notes, pursuant to which we solicited consents from eligible holders to amend the Black Knight Notes and the related indenture, under which they were issued to eliminate certain of the covenants, restrictive provisions and events of default from such indenture. The consent solicitation expired February 28, 2024, at which time the requisite majority of consents had been received. On February 29, 2024, we paid the consenting holders aggregate cash consideration of $2.5 million and the amendment to eliminate the covenant to furnish certain reports, documents and information to holders of the Black Knight Notes and the trustee under the indenture governing the Black Knight Notes took effect. On June 5, 2024, we completed a private offer to exchange 99.75% of the $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Black Knight Notes for new senior notes issued by ICE, or the ICE Original Exchange Notes, and the remaining amendments took effect at that time. On September 10, 2024, we completed a registered exchange offer in which virtually all previously outstanding ICE Original Exchange Notes were exchanged for identical new senior notes that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and thereby became freely transferable, subject to certain restrictions applicable to affiliates and broker dealers.

On May 13, 2024, we issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2031, or the 2031 Notes. We used $500 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2031 Notes to repay a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes that matured in May 2025, or the 2025 Notes. We used the remaining net proceeds to assist with the repayments of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan.

For additional details of our debt instruments, refer to Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements, included in this Quarterly Report, and Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Capital Return

In December 2021, our Board approved an aggregate of $3.15 billion for future repurchases of our common stock with no fixed expiration date that became effective January 1, 2022. In December 2024, the remaining available balance of $2.52 billion was re-authorized by our Board. The approval of our Board for stock repurchases does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. In addition, our Board may increase or decrease the amount available for repurchases from time to time. Shares repurchased are held in treasury stock.

In February 2025, we entered into a new 10b5-1 trading plan that became effective on February 21, 2025. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 2.9 million and 1.5 million, respectively, shares of our outstanding common stock at a cost of $496 million and $255 million, respectively. We did not have any share repurchases during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024. The remaining balance of Board approved funds for future repurchases as of June 30, 2025 was $2.0 billion.

We may begin or discontinue stock repurchases at any time and may enter into, amend or terminate a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan at any time, subject to applicable rules. From time to time, we have entered, and in the future may enter, into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, as authorized by our Board, to govern some or all of the repurchases of our shares of common stock. We expect funding for any stock repurchases to come from our operating cash flow or borrowings under our Commercial Paper Program or our debt facilities. The timing and extent of future repurchases that are not made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan will be at our discretion and will depend upon many conditions. In making a determination regarding any stock repurchases, management considers multiple factors, including overall stock market conditions, our common stock price performance, the remaining amount authorized for repurchases by our Board, the potential impact of a stock repurchase program on our corporate debt ratings, our expected free cash flow and working capital needs, our current and future planned strategic growth initiatives, and other potential uses of our cash and capital resources.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we declared and paid cash dividends per share of $0.96 and $0.90, respectively, for an aggregate payout of $555 million and $519 million, respectively, which includes the payment of dividend equivalents on vested employee restricted stock units. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we declared and paid cash dividends per share of $0.48 and $0.45, respectively, for an aggregate payout of $277 million and $261 million, respectively, which includes the payment of dividend equivalents on vested employee restricted stock units.

Future Capital Requirements

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of growth across our segments, strategic plans and acquisitions, available sources for financing activities, required and discretionary technology and clearing initiatives, regulatory requirements, the timing and introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products, the geographic mix of our business and potential stock repurchases.

62

We currently expect to incur capital expenditures (including operational and real estate capital expenditures) and to incur software development costs that are eligible for capitalization ranging in the aggregate between $730 million and $780 million in 2025, which we believe will support the enhancement of our technology, business integration and the continued growth of our businesses.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $2.0 billion authorized for future repurchases of our common stock. Refer to Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional details on our stock repurchase program.

Our Board has adopted a quarterly dividend policy providing that dividends will be approved quarterly by the Board or the Audit Committee taking into account factors such as our evolving business model, prevailing business conditions, our current and future planned strategic growth initiatives and our financial results and capital requirements, without a predetermined net income payout ratio. On July 31, 2025, we announced a $0.48 per share dividend for the third quarter of 2025 with the dividend payable on September 30, 2025 to stockholders of record as of September 16, 2025.

Other than the facilities for the ICE Clearing Houses, our Credit Facility and our Commercial Paper Program are currently the only significant agreements or arrangements that we have for liquidity and capital resources with third parties. See Notes 7 and 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further discussion. In the event of any strategic acquisitions, mergers or investments, or if we are required to raise capital for any reason or desire to return capital to our stockholders, we may incur additional debt, issue additional equity to raise necessary funds, repurchase additional shares of our common stock or pay a dividend. However, we cannot provide assurance that such financing or transactions will be favorable to us. See “—Debt" above.

Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain financial measures internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions that are presented in a manner that adjusts from their equivalent GAAP measures or that supplement the information provided by our GAAP measures. We use these adjusted results because we believe they more clearly highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance.

We use these measures in communicating certain aspects of our results and performance, including in this Quarterly Report, and believe that these measures, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, can provide investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for making period-to-period comparisons of results because the adjustments to GAAP are not reflective of our core business performance.

These financial measures are not presented in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report, including our consolidated financial statements, to aid in their analysis and understanding of our performance and in making comparisons.

The tables below outline our adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to ICE common stockholders, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP measures that are calculated by making adjustments for items we view as not reflective of our cash operations and core business performance. These measures, including the adjustments and their related income tax effect and other tax adjustments (in millions, except for percentages and per share amounts), are as follows:

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles are included in non-GAAP adjustments as excluding these non-cash expenses provides greater clarity regarding our financial strength and stability of cash operating results. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, included in amortization of acquisition-related intangibles is a $3 million impairment charge related to developed technology within our Exchanges Segment.

Transaction and integration costs are included as part of our core business expenses, except for those that are directly related to the announcement, closing, financing, or termination of a transaction. However, we adjust for the acquisition-related transaction and integration costs for acquisitions such as Black Knight given the magnitude of the purchase price of the acquisition.

Litigation and regulatory matters during the six months ended June 30, 2025 includes a $4 million accrual related to a regulatory matter. Litigation and regulatory matters during the six months ended June 30, 2024 includes the $160 million gain related to the PennyMac arbitration award resolution and payment received. We do not consider events of this type to be reflective of our core business.

We adjust for our share of net income or loss related to our equity method investments, which primarily include OCC and Bakkt. In addition, during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we excluded a $2 million gain on one of our other equity method investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we excluded $3 million of fair value losses on our equity investments without readily determinable fair values. We believe these adjustments provide greater clarity of our performance given that equity investments are non-cash and not a part of our core operations.

Other adjustments not considered to be a part of our core business operations include:

•Duplicate rent expense of $14 million and $7 million incurred during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, related to our new London and New York leased offices. We took possession of the new London and New York leases during 2023 and 2024, respectively. Both the London and New York office transitions were completed in 2024. We view these duplicate non-cash rent expenses of the new offices during the transitions to be incremental, non-recurring, and not related to our normal operations.

•During the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, $30 million of expense for valid claims made following an equity trading issue at NYSE that occurred in June 2024.

Non-GAAP tax adjustments include the tax impacts of the pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments and deferred tax adjustments on acquisition-related intangibles. Deferred tax adjustments on acquisition-related intangibles include a $6 million expense and a $35 million benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3 million and $16 million expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These deferred adjustments on acquisition-related intangibles are primarily related to U.S. state apportionment changes.

Non-GAAP Liquidity Measures

We consider free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to be non-GAAP liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors to analyze cash resources generated from our operations. We believe that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are also useful when comparing our performance to that of our competitors, and demonstrates our ability to convert the reinvestment of capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs required to maintain and grow our business, as well as adjust for timing differences related to the payment of Section 31 fees. These non-GAAP liquidity measures are not presented in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP liquidity measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, including the related adjustments are as follows (in millions):
