U.S. GAAP net income attributable to FXCM Inc. was $10.1 million for the Second Quarter 2013 or $0.32 per fully diluted FXCM Inc. Class A share, compared to a loss of $1.4 million or $0.06 per FXCM Inc. Class A share for the Second Quarter 2012.

Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA for the Second Quarter 2013 was $54.5 million, compared to $21.0 million for the Second Quarter 2012, an increase of 159%. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income was $23.3 million or $0.31 per share for the Second Quarter 2013, compared to $7.9 million or $0.11 per fully diluted, fully exchanged share for the Second Quarter 2012, an increase of 196% and 182% respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenues were $263.0 million, compared to $194.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 35%. U.S. GAAP net income attributable to FXCM Inc. was $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 or $0.55 per fully diluted FXCM Inc. Class A share, compared to $1.4 million or $0.07 per FXCM Inc. Class A share for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

“FXCM turned in one of its best quarters with record revenues and our second highest EBITDA ever – only slightly below the fourth quarter of 2008, when volatility spiked to levels more than double what we saw in the second quarter,” said Drew Niv, Chief Executive Officer. “We have expanded the scale of our business to the point that we were able to deliver outstanding results in a much more moderate climate.”

“We now have $374 million of cash and are undrawn on our $155 million credit facility – leaving us with plenty of liquidity to pursue acquisitions,” he added.

Adjusted Pro Forma results assume the conversion and exchange of all FXCM Holdings, LLC Units into FXCM Inc. Class A common stock, resulting in the elimination of the non-controlling interest and the corresponding adjustment to the entity’s tax provision. In addition, Adjusted Pro Forma results eliminate certain non-recurring charges and equity based compensation expense regarding a grant of stock options at the time of FXCM’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in December 2010 and reclassifies the allocation of earnings of Lucid non-controlling members recorded as compensation expense to net income attributable to non-controlling interest.

FXCM Inc. today announced certain key operating metrics for July 2013 for its retail and institutional foreign exchange business. Monthly activities included:

Adjusted Pro Forma Results

Throughout the discussion of FXCM Inc.’s results, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure. Adjusted Pro Forma results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), adjusted to exclude certain items and reflects the conversion of all units of FXCM Holdings, LLC for shares of Class A common stock of FXCM Inc. The Company’s management believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare FXCM’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of FXCM’s operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The differences between Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:

1. Assumed Exchange of Units of FXCM Holdings, LLC for FXCM Inc. Class A Shares. As a result of the exchange of FXCM Holdings units, the non-controlling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. The Company’s management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all FXCM Holdings units.

2. Stock Based Compensation Expense. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings to eliminate expense relating to stock based compensation relating to the Company’s initial public offering and compensation costs associated with the renegotiation of certain employment contracts. The Company’s management believes it is useful to provide the effects of eliminating these expenses relating to these one-time items.

3. Lucid Minority Interest/Compensation Expense. Our reported U.S. GAAP results reflect the portion of the 49.9% of Lucid earnings allocated among the non-controlling members of Lucid based on services provided as a component of compensation expense under “Allocation of Net Income to Lucid Members for Services Provided.” Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings to reclassify this allocation of Lucid’s earnings attributable to non-controlling members to “Net income attributable to non-controlling interest in Lucid.” The Company’s management believes that this reclassification provides a more meaningful view of the Company’s operating expenses and the Company’s economic arrangement with Lucid’s non-controlling members. This adjustment has no impact on net income as reported by FXCM Inc.

4. Acquisition Costs. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings to eliminate certain acquisition related costs. The Company’s management believes it is useful to provide the effects of eliminating these expenses.

5. Regulatory Costs. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings to eliminate certain costs (including client reimbursements) associated with settling certain historical trade execution issues with the Company’s regulators. The Company’s management believes it is useful to provide the effects of eliminating these expenses relating to these one-time items.

6. Income Taxes. Prior to the initial public offering FXCM was organized as a series of limited liability companies and foreign corporations, and even following the initial public offering not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate-level taxes. As a result, adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma earnings to assume that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. This assumption is consistent with the assumption that all of FXCM Holdings’ units are exchanged for shares of FXCM Inc. Class A common stock, as discussed in Item 1 above, as the assumed exchange would change the tax structure of the Company.
