| May 7, 2026 | mda_quarterly | IBKR's net interest margin (NIM) decreased to 1.88% from 2.10% year-over-year, reflecting the impact of interest rate changes and the reclassification of interest income. Net interest income from securities lending significantly increased by 230% or $23 million, driven by a growing account base, increased inventory of international securities to lend, and higher activity in IPOs and M&A. Average securities borrowed balances rose 84% to $8.9 billion, and loaned balances increased 58% to $25.6 billion. Total net interest income from securities lending, when reclassified for reporting nuances, was $269 million, up from $186 million. Non-interest expenses increased 2% to $381 million. Employee compensation and benefits rose 8% to $167 million due to a 6% increase in average employees and inflation. Execution, clearing, and distribution fees decreased 12% to $106 million, primarily due to the SEC Section 31 transaction fee reduction to zero and higher liquidity rebates. General and administrative expenses increased 10% to $68 million, mainly from higher advertising. Income before taxes grew 22% to $1,288 million, with a pretax profit margin of 77%. Adjusted net revenues increased 20% to $1,680 million, and adjusted income before taxes rose 27% to $1,299 million. The company maintains a highly liquid balance sheet, with 99.0% of its $218.7 billion total assets considered liquid, and consolidated equity grew 22% to $21.3 billion. Operating cash flow was $3.6 billion, primarily from increased customer credit balances and securities loaned. Capital expenditures of $26 million focused on technology infrastructure. Inflation is noted as a factor in employee compensation, though stable as a percentage of net revenues. All U.S. government securities, held to maturity, have maturities within three months. |
