ICE Benchmark Administration Launches ICE Swap Rate® Inflation Swap Benchmarks in GBP and EURJune 5, 2026 8:00 AM
Business Wire Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE), one of the world's leading providers of financial market technology and data powering global capital markets, today announced that ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA), a leading administrator of regulated benchmarks, has launched two new ICE Swap Rate® Inflation Swap benchmarks. The new benchmarks reference the U.K. Retail Prices Index (RPI) for GBP and the Eurozone Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices excluding tobacco (HICP ex-tobacco) for EUR, based on zero-coupon inflation index swaps. The RPI and HICP ex-tobacco are key U.K. and Eurozone indices which measure inflation by tracking the changing cost of a representative basket of goods and services. ICE Swap Rate® Inflation Swap benchmarks aim to provide market participants with robust, transparent reference rates for use in transactions and valuations. The GBP and EUR reference rates are calculated daily using the ICE Swap Rate® Waterfall Methodology based on dealer-to-client data provided by Tradeweb and are published in tenors from 1 to 30 years. “As a global leader in regulated benchmark administration, IBA is uniquely positioned to bring the same rigorous governance, data management and technology that underpins the existing ICE Swap Rate® suite of benchmarks to the inflation swap market,” said Clive de Ruig, President of IBA. “Amid evolving inflationary pressures and shifting central bank policies across the U.K. and Eurozone, the demand for inflation risk management tools has grown, and ICE Swap Rate® Inflation Swap benchmarks are designed to give market participants regulated, transparent reference rates to ensure certainty and predictability in inflation swap settlement,” continued de Ruig. In addition to ICE Swap Rate® Inflation Swap benchmarks, IBA publishes ICE Swap Rate® benchmarks based on swaps referencing EURIBOR, €STR, SONIA and SOFR, and swap spreads linked to SOFR. IBA also publishes SONIA spread-adjusted and SOFR spread-adjusted ICE Swap Rate® settings. ICE Swap Rate® is designated as a “critical benchmark” under the U.K. Benchmarks Regulation and has been specified as a “significant benchmark” under the EU Benchmarks Regulation. ICE Swap Rate® benchmark settings are available under licence, including for redistribution, valuation and pricing activities and for use in transactions and financial products. Prospective licensees should contact IBA's licensing team at IBA-Licensing@ice.com. About ICE Benchmark Administration ICE Benchmark Administration is authorized and regulated by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority for the regulated activity of administering a benchmark under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and the U.K. Benchmarks Regulation and is recognised by the European Securities and Markets Authority as an administrator of significant benchmarks located in a third country under the EU Benchmarks Regulation.

ICE Introduces Fraud Monitor to Help Mortgage Lenders Identify Fraud Risk and Accelerate UnderwritingJune 1, 2026 9:00 AM
Business Wire New solution delivers advanced fraud risk scoring, property data reports and automated condition clearing directly within the loan origination workflow Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), one of the world's leading providers of financial market technology and data powering global capital markets, today announced the launch of ICE Fraud Monitor, a robust mortgage fraud and property research solution designed to help lenders reduce risk and expedite underwriting. Integrated directly with Encompass®, ICE’s loan origination system (LOS), Fraud Monitor centralizes fraud risk scoring and property risk data in a user-friendly dashboard, reducing the need for underwriters to navigate between multiple vendor portals. Underwriters can click on fraud categories to view underlying data sources and supporting reports, making it easier to investigate potential issues. The solution’s configurable, exception-based automation can clear conditions and update Encompass, helping to streamline the review process. “Fraud reviews are often fragmented and highly manual, creating bottlenecks in the underwriting process and contributing to condition fatigue among lenders,” said Bob Hart, President of Mortgage Technology at ICE. “Fraud Monitor helps simplify that process by bringing fraud detection, condition management and supporting documentation into a unified workflow within Encompass. By automating portions of the review process and giving underwriters faster access to detailed reports, they can identify and resolve potential fraud risks more efficiently while keeping loans moving through the pipeline.” Fraud Monitor incorporates configurable risk scoring and ongoing monitoring capabilities that allow lenders to tailor workflows based on their internal risk management and compliance policies. The solution integrates data from ICE SiteXPro property records, credit and employment validation sources, exclusionary lists and watchlists, and other third-party fraud and verification tools to provide lenders with a more comprehensive view of potential risk indicators. The solution also maintains a full audit trail with automated recordkeeping, user-level permissions, time-stamped condition clearances and compliance-ready reporting.

NYSE President Lynn Martin Joins U.S. Presidential Delegation for Historic Trump-Xi China Summit in BeijingMay 15, 2026 5:00 AM
Business Wire Martin Calls for Global Coordination on AI Innovation as U.S. Business Representative to APEC 2026 Ministerial in Shanghai The New York Stock Exchange, part of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), one of the world's leading providers of financial market technology and data powering global capital markets, today announced that NYSE Group President Lynn Martin joined the delegation of U.S. business leaders participating in President Trump’s historic state visit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Following the presidential summit in Beijing, Martin traveled to Shanghai at the invitation of the White House to represent the U.S. business community at a ministerial forum as part of this year’s APEC 2026 Second Senior Officials’ Meeting (SOM2) and Related Meetings. Her attendance underscores the NYSE’s long-standing role at the intersection of global markets and economic opportunity. For more than two centuries, the NYSE has connected capital with ambition, bringing together innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors from around the world to power growth and shared prosperity. At the APEC 2026 Women and the Economy Forum, Martin served as the U.S. business leader on a high-level panel focused on artificial intelligence, science, technology, and economic opportunities for women globally. In remarks, Martin emphasized that sustained global growth depends on inclusive AI adoption, strong governance and infrastructure, and international cooperation: “Technology doesn't wait for institutions to catch up. It evolves and forces organizations to evolve with it or risk disruption. And the economies, the companies, and the people who are ready for it will drive what comes next. Driving innovation in science and technology isn't a passive act. It requires deliberate investment, deliberate inclusion, and deliberate cooperation.” “The U.S. capital markets are the deepest, most liquid, and most transparent in the world. That did not happen by accident. It happened because we built the institutions, the rules, and the accountability structures that gave investors and companies the confidence to participate. We are committed to bringing that same discipline to how we engage on AI domestically and internationally.” “Bridging the AI divide, a goal this APEC forum has explicitly embraced, means AI training programs are mandatory, not optional, because research consistently shows that women are less likely to self-select into discretionary pilots and workshops. It means that when AI governance frameworks are written — at the company level, the national level, or in multilateral forums like this one — women need seats at the table before the frameworks are finalized. And it means measuring inclusion the same way we measure financial performance: with specific targets, reported publicly, and with real accountability attached.” “The United States is acting on this. And it is worth noting that some of the most important work is coming from the White House itself. First Lady Melania Trump has made AI education a signature initiative, launching the Presidential AI Challenge, which invites K-12 students and educators across America to develop AI-driven solutions to real-world problems.” “President Trump has made American AI leadership an explicit national priority. His executive order removing barriers to AI innovation, his July 2025 AI Action Plan, and most recently his December 2025 executive order establishing a unified national policy framework all send the same signal: the United States is committed to sustaining and enhancing its position at the frontier of this technology and we are doing it by getting out of the way of the people building it. The administration's three pillars — accelerating innovation, building AI infrastructure, and leading international diplomacy and security — are not abstract goals. They are backed by policy and capital.” “The NYSE has been a functioning institution through wars, financial crises, pandemics, and more geopolitical shocks than I can count. The institutions that endure are not the ones that assumed the environment would always be favorable. They are the ones that built resilience into their structure from the start. The same logic applies to AI governance globally. We can build the framework now, while there is still time to do it well, or we can wait for a crisis to force our hand.” About Intercontinental Exchange Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.

OpenVC® Launches the NYSE® OpenVC® 500 Index, A Benchmark for Today’s Equity Market, Encompassing the 500 Largest Public and Venture-Backed Private Companies in the U.S.May 5, 2026 9:41 AM
Business Wire The new crossover benchmark brings together the largest public and venture-backed private companies in a single, transparent index OpenVC®, a pioneer in private market indexing, today announced the launch of the NYSE® OpenVC® 500 Index, a first of its kind benchmark designed to track the 500 largest companies by value in the United States, regardless of whether they are publicly listed or venture capital-backed. As venture-backed companies stay private longer and reach valuations that rival long-established public companies, traditional equity indices that only track publicly listed companies no longer capture the full picture of U.S. economic growth. This new index was created to address that gap by offering a more complete view of where value, innovation, and scale truly reside in the U.S. equity landscape. “If you’re benchmarking U.S. equity market performance based solely on the performance of publicly-listed companies, you’re missing a huge piece of the puzzle,” said David Shapiro, Co-Founder and CEO of OpenVC. “In fact, the two largest private venture-backed companies in the U.S. today are each valued at more than $850 billion, which would place them comfortably on the list of the 15 largest companies in the NYSE U.S. 500. Add the fact that private companies are pioneering so much of the innovation taking place in Artificial Intelligence and other areas of the tech sector, and it’s no wonder investors have been demanding greater transparency to the full picture of the U.S. equity market, something we’re very excited to finally be providing them with today.” The NYSE® OpenVC® 500 Index combines constituents from the NYSE® U.S. 500 Index and the NYSE® OPEN Venture Capital Unicorn Index, which tracks the largest venture-backed private companies with valuations above $1 billion. From this unified universe of both public and private companies, the 500 largest U.S.-headquartered companies are selected and weighted using a modified, non-float-adjusted market capitalization approach. This methodology allows private companies to be represented alongside public peers in a framework designed to be consistent and investable, while caps on private holdings are applied to meet product and liquidity requirements. The index is reconstituted annually and calculated and disseminated daily, with ICE Data Indices serving as index administrator and calculation agent. By integrating large private companies into a familiar index structure, OpenVC aims to provide investors, advisors, and product issuers with a benchmark that more accurately reflects total U.S. equity returns, not just those visible in public markets. “We have decades of experience designing new index methodologies to meet the needs of the constantly evolving financial markets,” said Preston Peacock, Head of ICE Data Indices. “By leveraging OpenVC’s innovative methodology for valuing private companies and ICE’s listed equity indices, we’re able to bridge the chasm between public and private markets and create an index that benchmarks the breadth and dynamism of the U.S. capital markets.” To learn more about the NYSE® OpenVC® 500 Index, please visit https://openvc.com/. About OpenVC OpenVC® is revolutionizing index investing in the late-stage venture capital space, offering improved access to the world's leading private Unicorns. Our mission is to democratize venture capital investment with low-cost, institutional-grade products. With a focus on reducing fees and leveraging the power of index investing, we are committed to making this asset class accessible to all investors. For more information, visit www.openvc.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation
We use non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparison of results because the items described below as adjustments to GAAP are not reflective of our core business performance. These financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We use these adjusted results because we believe they more clearly highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance. We strongly recommend that investors review the GAAP financial measures and additional non-GAAP information included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
Adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to ICE common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted free cash flow for the periods presented below are calculated by adding or subtracting the adjustments described below, which are not reflective of our cash operations and core business performance, and their related income tax effect and other tax adjustments (in millions, except for per share amounts):
