Miami International Holdings Reports Q3 2025 Results



Miami International Holdings, Inc. (MIH), a prominent leader in regulated financial markets, recently announced its results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2025. The company's net revenue experienced an impressive growth of 57% year-over-year, reaching $109.5 million. However, it also reported a GAAP net loss of $102.1 million, primarily due to one-time charges linked to the extinguishment of debt and expenses associated with its initial public offering (IPO).

Executive Overview



Thomas P. Gallagher, Chairman and CEO of MIH, expressed pride in the company's performance despite the challenges posed by the IPO, emphasizing the team's dedication to providing superior technology, reliability, and risk management in the financial markets. Q3 marked remarkable activity in MIH's options business, driven by significant market volatility that resulted in record trading volumes. The average daily volume for options surged to 9.6 million contracts, indicating a 56% increase compared to the previous year.

The financial results included:
  • - XX% year-over-year growth in adjusted earnings to $39.9 million from $8.3 million.
  • - Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled, reaching $48.0 million, representing a substantial increase from $18.7 million last year.

  • - Net Revenue: Up 57% to $109.5 million from $69.6 million in the same quarter last year.
  • - Operating Expenses: Increased to $109.8 million from $70.7 million, attributed mainly to IPO-related costs and headcount expansion to support growth.
  • - Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Improved from 27% to 44%, highlighting effective cost management and revenue growth.
