Cash equity clearing (CCV) registered revenues for 48 million pesos in the quarter, 5 million or 10% lower than the first quarter of 2023. It is important to mention that the CCV acts as the Central Securities Counterparty and Clearinghouse for all the Mexican stock markets. The ADTV of both Stock Exchanges during 1Q24 was 17,677 million pesos, 18% less compared to 1Q23. The difference between trading and clearing results is attributed to a lower number of cross trades during the quarter.

Derivatives

Derivatives revenue, which mainly comprises trading and clearing activities, was 58 million pesos, 3 million or 5% lower than the amount registered in 1Q23.

In the first quarter of 2024, revenues from Derivatives trading (MexDer) amounted to 25 million, reflecting a decrease of 4 million or 14% compared to 1Q23. This behavior is explained by a lower number of business days in the quarter (-5% vs 1Q23), as well as reduced trading activity in dollar futures because of lower volatility in the market (-19% vs 1Q23). As for interest rate swaps, the average volume remained stable despite the uncertainty surrounding the Bank of Mexico's rate cuts.

Revenues for SIF ICAP in 1Q24 were 178 million, 11 million or 6% lower when compared with the same period in 2023. Revenue at SIF ICAP Mexico decreased by 9 million pesos, primarily due to lower CO2 emission compensations via carbon credits from MéxiCO2. Meanwhile, revenue at SIF ICAP Chile decreased by 2 million pesos due to the depreciation of the Chilean peso against the Mexican peso.

Capital Formation (Listing & Maintenance)

During the first quarter of 2024, listing revenues reached 15 million pesos, 5 million or 49% higher to that of 1Q23; 3 million higher because of short and long-term listings and 2 million due to equity (FIBRAS) follow-ons.

Between 2009 and 1Q24, there were 128 billion pesos placed broken down into: 37 billion in real estate, 31 billion in private equity, 25 billion in energy, 23 billion in infrastructure and 12 billion in financial assets.

Maintenance fees

Maintenance fees revenue amounted to 117 million pesos in the first quarter of the year, which is 4 million or 3% lower than the same period last year, explained by different timing in revenue recognition during 1Q23. Revenues are not directly proportional to the amount of debt issued due to a maximum fee based on the issuance amount and type of instrument. As of March 2024, BMV has 497 active long-term debt issuances, compared to 485 and 474 issuances recorded in 4Q23 and 1Q23, respectively.

Central Securities Depository

Revenue in Indeval decreased 5% or 15 million pesos to 268 million for the first quarter of 2024. This outcome is explained by the following: i) an increase of 11 million resulting from the growth in the value of assets under custody, ii) a decrease of 19 million due to a lower number of settled transactions in the global market or SIC, and iii) a decrease of 7 million corresponding to global market services whose fees are in dollars USD (exchange rate variation).

Information Services

The income generated during the first quarter in the Information Services business was recorded at 169 million pesos, 31 million or 16% lower compared to the same period in 2023.

The revenues corresponding to Market Data in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 121 million pesos, reflecting a decrease of 16 million or 12% compared to the same period of the previous year. This reduction is attributed to the negative impact of the MXN peso - USD dollar exchange rate. As for Valmer, its revenues reached 48 million pesos, representing a decrease of 15 million compared to 1Q23. This decrease is explained by two main factors: i) a reduction of 10 million due to previously explained non-recurring revenue, and ii) a decrease of 5.2 million due to the cancellation of contracts for a portfolio management system that Valmer used to sell, resulting in savings of 5 million in consulting fee expenses.

Other

Revenue increased by 6 million pesos in the first quarter of 2024 due to the cancellation of expense provisions from last year.

7

EXPENSES

Total expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were 477 million pesos, 6 million or 1% higher than the first quarter of 2023.

This increment is explained by the following items:

  1. Personnel increased by 7 million pesos or 3% due to annual salary increments. However, this increase was partially offset by a reduction in SIF ICAP's variable compensation due to lower income in the period.
  2. Technology up 1 million pesos due to higher technology consulting related to architecture and process management. IT expenses were 7 million pesos lower than expected due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
  3. Depreciation increased 5 million pesos because of the hardware leases for the Segregation of Post-trade's infrastructure and the amortization of completed projects such as the qualified intermediary at Indeval and enhancements to the financial risk management platform marketed by Valmer.
  4. Rent and Maintenance increased 1 million pesos because of renovations and maintenance of BMV Group building.
  5. Consulting fees down by 3 million pesos, 5 million less due to the cancellation of contracts of the portfolio management system that Valmer used to sell and 2 million more in advisory services.
  6. Others decreased 5 million pesos mainly due to reduced sales of CO2 offsets for the carbon market at MexiCO2.

Constant Currency Analysis

During the first quarter of 2024, the Mexican peso appreciated by 9% against the US dollar. The average exchange rate in 1Q24 was 16.99 Mexican pesos per US dollar, while in the same period of the previous year, the average exchange rate was 18.69 Mexican pesos per US dollar. In a scenario where the exchange rate remains constant in the first quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, Grupo BMV would have recorded an additional 15 million pesos in EBITDA in 1Q24.
