The surge in EPS in FY 2023 was primarily driven by several factors. **Net income** increased sharply from **$235.0 million** to **$761.4 million** (a **224% increase**) which provided a strong boost to the EPS.  **[0001558370-24-001277_cboe-20231231x10k.htm:95]**  A significant contributor was the **reduction in operating expenses** by **31%**, largely due to the absence of a **$460.9 million goodwill impairment charge** that impacted FY 2022.  **[0001558370-24-001277_cboe-20231231x10k.htm:95]** **[0001558370-24-000699_cboe-20240202xex99d1.htm:14]**  Additionally, **operating income more than doubled** (a **116% increase**) and a slight reduction in the weighted average shares outstanding helped further enhance the EPS by lowering dilution.  **[0001558370-24-001277_cboe-20231231x10k.htm:95]** **[0001558370-24-001277_cboe-20231231x10k.htm:192]** 

What drove the surge in EPS in FY 2023?

The dip in operating income in Q2 2024 was primarily driven by a significant **impairment of $81.0 million** in intangible assets in the Digital segment and an increase in operating expenses by **$81.4 million (a rise of 37%)**. Despite a **10% increase in net revenue to $513.8 million**, these factors led to the operating income declining by **$34.7 million** compared to Q2 2023.  **[20240802CG75413:2]** **[0001558370-24-010654_cboe-20240630x10q.htm:82]** **[0001558370-24-010654_cboe-20240630x10q.htm:83]** **[20240802CG75413:0]** 

Why did operating income dip in Q2 2024?

The **negative other expenses in Q4 2023** were mainly driven by a **reduction in expected contingent consideration** related to **Cboe Canada** and **Cboe Japan**, along with **decreases in charitable contributions** and **reductions in taxes, licenses, and permits**. These factors combined to turn the expense into a negative figure in that quarter.  **[0001558370-24-001277_cboe-20231231x10k.htm:108]** **[0001558370-24-000699_cboe-20240202xex99d1.htm:14]** 

What caused the negative other expenses in Q4 2023?

The sharp drop in net income for **Q2 2024** is primarily due to significant impairments. Specifically, **impairment of intangible assets** in the Digital reporting unit amounted to **$81.0 million**, and there was an additional **impairment of investment** of **$16.0 million**.

The sharp increase in **cash and cash equivalents** in Q3 2024 was driven primarily by several factors: a significant rise in **net cash provided by operating activities**—boosted by changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents related to **margin deposits, clearing funds, and interoperability funds**—a reduction in **net cash used in financing activities** due to lower principal repayments on long-term debt, a modest decrease in **net cash used in investing activities**, and a beneficial contribution from **foreign currency exchange rate changes**. Together, these elements led to a net increase of **$1,405.1 million** in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash during that period.  **[0001628280-24-044657_cboe-20240930.htm:105]**

Additionally, **Cash and Cash Equivalents** increased from **$543.2 million** to **$614.6 million**, and **Financial Investments** grew from **$57.5 million** to **$83.7 million**, reflecting enhanced operational activity and improved liquidity management.  **[0001558370-24-010646_cboe-20240802xex99d1.htm:15]** **[0001558370-24-010654_cboe-20240630x10q.htm:6]**
