London Stock Exchange Group plc: Q3 2022 Trading Update
Broad based growth, sustained execution, guidance unchanged
David Schwimmer, CEO said:
"We have delivered another strong quarter, with good growth
across all businesses. The consistency of delivery in recent
quarters demonstrates the strength of our business model,
generating quality recurring revenues from a range of services that
are highly valued by our customers.
"Our strategy is working, delivering growth and increasing
efficiency. We are investing organically for growth and completed
the acquisition of TORA during the quarter to strengthen our
offering in Trading & Banking. We are also making good progress
on returning surplus capital to shareholders through our share
buyback programme.
"With sustained execution, a broad base of businesses and
leading market positions, we remain well positioned."
Q3 2022 highlights
-- Strong growth continues across all divisions : total income excluding
recoveries up 16.2% on a reported basis, to GBP1,905m. Up 5.9% on
a constant currency basis, and up 7.0% adjusting for Ukraine and
Russia conflict impact(1)
-- High-quality recurring revenue : like-for-like ASV growth continues
to improve, up 5.8% in Q3 (up 280 basis points since Refinitiv acquisition
in Q1 2021); driven by new sales and improved retention
-- Continued good progress on integration : revenue and cost synergies
in line with targets
-- Active capital management :
- TORA acquisition completed, enhancing Trading & Banking Solutions
in Data & Analytics; provisional clearance achieved for Quantile
acquisition, expected to complete in Q4
- Share buyback: GBP235 million returned in Q3 as part of our active
12 month, GBP750 million share buyback programme
-- Well-positioned for further growth : strong progress, no change
to guidance or targets
Note: Unless otherwise stated, variances refer to growth rates relative
to Q3 2021 on a constant currency basis

Accounting and modelling notes
Financial details on completed acquisitions
The acquisition of TORA completed on 9 August 2022, enhancing
our multi-asset class order and execution management capability
within Trading & Banking Solutions. TORA will provide
approximately 5 months of contribution to our P&L in 2022.
The financial performance of TORA in 2021 is shown below,
consistent with LSEG's accounting treatment. TORA's costs are in
addition to our existing organic constant currency cost
guidance.

Divestment of BETA
On 1st July, LSEG completed the divestment of BETA, previously
contained within the Wealth Solutions business. Consistent with the
treatment at Q1 and H1 2022, the financial contribution of BETA is
excluded from our 2021 and 2022 continuing operations.
Organic growth
Organic growth is calculated on a constant currency basis,
adjusting the results to remove disposals from the entirety of the
current and prior year periods, and by including acquisitions from
the date of acquisition with a comparable adjustment to the prior
year.
Deferred revenue accounting adjustment
Consistent with purchase price accounting rules, Refinitiv's
deferred revenue balances were subject to a one-time haircut at the
time of acquisition. This adjustment impacted 2021 revenues, with
no material impact in 2022. In order to provide insight into the
underlying business performance, variance figures are presented
that exclude the deferred revenue adjustment where appropriate.
FX conversion
The majority of LSEG revenues and expenses are in USD, followed
by GBP, EUR and other currencies. The rates for the largest two
currency pairs are shown in the table below.
