Financial Summary
The following tables summarize our financial performance for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 when compared to the same periods in 2021. The comparability of our results of operations between reported periods is impacted by the acquisition ofVerafin inFebruary 2021 and the divestiture of ourU.S. Fixed Income business inJune 2021 , which was part of our FICC business within our Market Services segment, as well as the contribution of our NPM business inJuly 2021 to a standalone, independent company, of which we own the largest minority interest, together with a consortium of third-party financial institutions. See "2021 Divestiture," and "2021 Acquisition," of Note 4, "Acquisitions and Divestiture," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Nasdaq's Operating Results
The following chart summarizes our ARR (in millions):
[[Image Removed: ndaq-20220630_g1.jpg]] ARR for a given period is the annualized revenue derived from subscription contracts with a defined contract value. This excludes contracts that are not recurring, are one-time in nature, or where the contract value fluctuates based on defined metrics. ARR is one of our key performance metrics to assess the health and trajectory of our recurring business. ARR does not have any standardized definition and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers. 33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ARR chart includes: ? Active Market Technology support and SaaS subscription
contracts.
Proprietary market data and index data subscriptions as well as subscription ? contracts for eVestment,Solovis , NDW Research Platform,

Index Revenues
Index revenues increased in both the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared with the same periods in 2021 primarily due to higher licensing revenues from futures trading linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index.

38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity derivative trading and clearing revenues decreased in both the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared with the same periods in 2021. The decrease in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to lowerU.S. matched market share executed on Nasdaq's exchanges, partially offset by a higher gross capture rate and higher Section 31 pass-through fee revenue. The decrease for the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to lowerU.S. matched market share executed on Nasdaq's exchanges and lower gross capture rate, partially offset by higherU.S. and European industry trading volumes. Equity derivative trading and clearing revenues less transaction-based expenses remained flat in the second quarter of 2022 compared with the same period in 2021 primarily due to higher net capture rates and higherU.S. and European industry trading volumes, offset by lowerU.S. matched market share executed on Nasdaq's exchanges and the unfavorable impact of the changes in foreign exchange rates. Equity derivative trading and clearing revenues less transaction-based expenses increased in the first six months of 2022 compared with the same period in 2021 primarily due to higher net capture rates and higherU.S. and European industry trading volumes, partially offset by lowerU.S. matched market share executed on Nasdaq's exchanges. Section 31 fees are recorded as equity derivative trading and clearing revenues with a corresponding amount recorded as brokerage, clearance and exchange fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In theU.S. , we are assessed these fees from theSEC and pass them through to our customers in the form of incremental fees. Pass-through fees can increase or decrease due to rate changes by theSEC , our percentage of the overall industry volumes processed on our systems, and differences in actual dollar value traded. Since the amount recorded in revenues is equal to the amount recorded as brokerage, clearance and exchange fees, there is no impact on our revenues less transaction-based expenses. Section 31 fees increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared with same period in 2021 primarily due to higher averageSEC fee rates, following the increase inSEC 31 fee rates inMay 2022 . Section 31 fees decreased in the first six months of 2022 compared with same period in 2021 primarily due to lower averageSEC fee rates, following the decrease inSEC 31 fee rates inFebruary 2021 . Transaction rebates, in which we credit a portion of the execution charge to the market participant, decreased in both the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared with the same periods in 2021. The decrease in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to lower overallU.S. matched market share executed on Nasdaq's exchanges and lower volumes, partially offset by a higher rebate capture rate. The decrease in the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to lower overallU.S. matched market share executed on Nasdaq's exchanges and lower rebate capture rate, partially offset by higherU.S. and European industry trading volumes.

Cash equity trading revenues increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared with the same periods in 2021 primarily due to higherU.S. industry trading volumes and higherU.S. matched market share executed on Nasdaq's exchanges, partially offset by lowerU.S. gross capture rate, lower European market share and the unfavorable impact of changes in foreign exchange rates. Cash equity trading revenues less transaction-based expenses decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared with the same periods in 2021 primarily due to lowerU.S. net capture rate, lower European market share and the unfavorable impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by higherU.S. industry volumes and higherU.S. matched market share executed on Nasdaq's exchanges. The decrease in cash equity trading revenues was also due to higher transaction rebates. Similar to equity derivative trading and clearing, in theU.S. we record Section 31 fees as cash equity trading revenues with a corresponding amount recorded as brokerage, clearance and exchange fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We are assessed these fees from theSEC and pass them through to our customers in the form of incremental fees. Since the amount recorded as revenues is equal to the amount recorded as brokerage, clearance and exchange fees, there is no impact on our revenues less transaction-based expenses. Section 31 fees increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared with the same periods in 2021 primarily due to higher averageSEC fee rates. Transaction rebates increased in the second quarter and the first six months of 2022 compared with the same periods in 2021. ForThe Nasdaq Stock Market and Nasdaq PSX, we credit a portion of the per share execution charge to the market participant that provides the liquidity, and for Nasdaq BX, we credit a portion of the per share execution charge to the market participant that takes the liquidity. The increase was primarily due to higher US industry volumes, higherU.S. matched market share executed on Nasdaq's exchanges and a higher rebate capture rate. 40 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regulatory expense remained relatively flat in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared with the same periods in 2021.
Merger and strategic initiatives expense remained relatively flat in the second quarter of 2022 compared with the same period in 2021 and decreased in the first six months of 2022 compared with the same period in 2021 due to acquisition costs associated with theVerafin transaction that occurred in the first quarter of 2021. We have pursued various strategic initiatives and completed acquisitions and divestitures in recent years, which have resulted in expenses which would not have otherwise been incurred. These expenses generally include integration costs, as well as legal, due diligence and other third-party transaction costs and will vary based on the size and frequency of the activities described above. See Note 19, "Restructuring Charges," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our 2019 restructuring plan and charges associated with this plan. 42 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See Note 8, "Debt Obligations," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt obligations. The net gain on divestiture of business in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 relates to the sale of ourU.S. Fixed Income business, which was part of our FICC business within our Market Services segment, to Tradeweb. We recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of$84 million , net of disposal costs. See "2021 Divestiture," of Note 4, "Acquisitions and Divestiture," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Other income increased in both the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared with the same periods in 2021 primarily due to gains from strategic investments related to our corporate venture program. Net income from unconsolidated investees decreased in both the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared with the same period in 2021 primarily due to a decrease in income recognized from our equity method investment in OCC. See "Equity Method Investments," of Note 6, "Investments," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance withU.S. GAAP, we also provide non-GAAP net income attributable to Nasdaq and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Management uses this non-GAAP information internally, along withU.S. GAAP information, in evaluating our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. We believe our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating performance. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to,U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. This non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for our operating results in accordance withU.S. GAAP. We recommend investors review theU.S. GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. When viewed in conjunction with ourU.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency and a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business thanU.S. GAAP measures alone. We understand that analysts and investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income attributable to Nasdaq and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, to assess operating performance. We use non-GAAP net income attributable to Nasdaq and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share because they highlight trends more clearly in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely onU.S. GAAP financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our ongoing operating performance. We believe that excluding the following items from the non-GAAP net income attributable to Nasdaq provides a more meaningful analysis of Nasdaq's ongoing operating performance and comparisons in Nasdaq's performance between periods: •Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets: We amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with various acquisitions. Intangible asset amortization expense can vary from period to period due to episodic acquisitions completed, rather than from our ongoing business operations. As such, if intangible asset amortization is included in performance measures, it is more difficult to assess the day-to-day operating performance of the businesses, the relative operating performance of the businesses between periods, and the earnings power of Nasdaq. •Merger and strategic initiatives expense: We have pursued various strategic initiatives and completed acquisitions and divestitures in recent years that have resulted in expenses which would not have otherwise been incurred. The frequency and the amount of such expenses vary significantly based on the size, timing and complexity of the transaction. These expenses primarily include integration costs, as well as legal, due diligence and other third-party transaction costs. •Restructuring charges: We initiated the transition of certain technology platforms to advance our strategic opportunities as a technology and analytics provider and continue the realignment of certain business areas. See Note 19, "Restructuring Charges," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our 2019 restructuring plan, which was completed inJune 2021 . Charges associated with this plan represented a fundamental shift in our strategy and technology as well as executive realignment. •Net income from unconsolidated investee: See "Equity Method Investments," of Note 6, "Investments," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Our income on our investment in OCC may vary significantly compared to prior periods due to the changes in OCC's capital management policy. •Other items: We have excluded certain other charges or gains, including certain tax items, that are the result of other non-comparable events to measure operating performance. For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , other items primarily include a loss on extinguishment of debt. For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , other items primarily include a net gain on divestiture of businesses, which primarily represents our pre-tax net gain of$84 million on the sale of ourU.S. Fixed Income business. •Significant tax items: The non-GAAP adjustment to the income tax provision for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily includes the tax impact of each non-GAAP adjustment. 44 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, we have funded our operating activities and met our commitments through cash generated by operations, augmented by the periodic issuance of our common stock and debt. Currently, our cost and availability of funding remain healthy. We continue to prudently assess our capital deployment strategy through balancing acquisitions, internal investments, debt repayments, and shareholder return activity, including share repurchases and dividends. In the near term, we expect that our operations and the availability under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program will provide sufficient cash to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures, debt repayments, any share repurchases, and any dividends. 45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The value of various assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the current portion of long-term debt, and commercial paper, can fluctuate from month to month. Working capital (calculated as current assets less current liabilities) was$(653) million as ofJune 30, 2022 , compared with$(449) million as ofDecember 31, 2021 , a decrease of$204 million . The decrease was primarily due to increases in deferred revenue, Section 31 fees payable toSEC and other current liabilities and a decrease in other current assets and financial investments, partially offset by a decrease in accrued personnel costs and increases in receivables, net and cash and cash equivalents.
Principal factors that could affect the availability of our internally-generated funds include:
• deterioration of our revenues in any of our business segments;
• changes in regulatory and working capital requirements; and
•an increase in our expenses.
Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:
• operating covenants contained in our credit facilities that limit our total borrowing capacity;
• credit rating downgrades, which could limit our access to additional debt;
• a significant decrease in the market price of our common stock;
• volatility or disruption in the public debt and equity markets; and
• the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.
The following table summarizes our financial assets:
June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 454 $ 393 Financial investments 161 208 Total financial assets $ 615 $ 601 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes all non-restricted cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. The balance retained in cash and cash equivalents is a function of anticipated or possible short-term cash needs, prevailing interest rates, our investment policy, and alternative investment choices. As ofJune 30, 2022 , our cash and cash equivalents of$454 million were primarily invested in money market funds, commercial paper and bank deposits. In the long-term, we may use both internally generated funds and external sources to satisfy our debt obligations and other long-term liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents as ofJune 30, 2022 increased$61 million fromDecember 31, 2021 .
Repatriation of Cash
Our cash and cash equivalents held outside of theU.S. in various foreign subsidiaries totaled$277 million as ofJune 30, 2022 and$266 million as ofDecember 31, 2021 . The remaining balance held in theU.S. totaled$177 million as ofJune 30, 2022 and$127 million as ofDecember 31, 2021 .

See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of this adjustment.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items such as: depreciation and amortization expense of property and equipment; amortization expense of acquired finite-lived intangible assets; expense associated with share-based compensation; deferred income taxes; expense associated with extinguishment of debt; and net income from unconsolidated investees. 46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net cash provided by operating activities is also impacted by the effects of changes in operating assets and liabilities such as: accounts receivable and deferred revenue which are impacted by the timing of customer billings and related collections from our customers; accounts payable and accrued expenses due to timing of payments; accrued personnel costs, which are impacted by employee performance targets and the timing of payments related to employee bonus incentives; and Section 31 fees payable to theSEC , which is impacted by the timing of collections from customers and payments to theSEC . Net cash provided by operating activities increased$513 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 compared with the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by cash payments made in the second quarter of 2021 related to the acquisition ofVerafin , including a tax obligation paid on behalf ofVerafin of$221 million and a cash payment of$102 million , the release of which is subject to certain employment-related conditions over three years following the closing of the acquisition ofVerafin as well as an increase in Section 31 fees payable toSEC due to higherSEC fee rates in 2022. The remaining change was primarily due to other fluctuations in our working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 primarily related to net purchases of investments related to default funds and margin deposits of$202 million , purchases of property and equipment of$77 million and$41 million cash used for acquisitions, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired, partially offset by proceeds of$55 million from other investing activities and net proceeds from sales and redemptions of securities of$21 million . Net cash used in investing activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 primarily related to$2,430 million of cash used for acquisitions, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired of$221 million which was utilized to satisfy an acquisition-related tax obligation on behalf ofVerafin , net purchases of investments related to default funds and margin deposits of$90 million ,$81 million of purchases of property and equipment, other investing activities of$67 million and payments of$47 million of net purchases of securities, partially offset by proceeds from divestiture of business, net of cash divested$190 million .
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 primarily related to a net increase in default funds and margin deposits of$3,554 million , proceeds of$541 million from the issuances of long-term-debt, partially offset by$499 million extinguishment of our 2024 Notes,$325 million of repurchases of common stock pursuant to the ASR agreement,$308 million in other repurchases of common stock and$186 million of dividend payments to our shareholders. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 primarily related to$410 million in repurchases of common stock, a decrease in default funds and margin deposits of$229 million and$169 million of dividend payments to our shareholders, partially offset by$221 million of proceeds from issuances of commercial paper, net.

Financial Investments
Our financial investments totaled$161 million as ofJune 30, 2022 and$208 million as ofDecember 31, 2021 . Of these securities,$147 million as ofJune 30, 2022 and$162 million as ofDecember 31, 2021 are assets primarily utilized to meet regulatory capital requirements, mainly for our clearing operations at Nasdaq Clearing. See Note 6, "Investments," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
Clearing Operations Regulatory Capital Requirements
We are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital for the clearing operations of Nasdaq Clearing. The level of regulatory capital required to be maintained is dependent upon many factors, including market conditions and creditworthiness of the counterparty.
