·Strong performance of non-volume related revenue representing 60% of total revenue2 and income (vs. 57% in 2022) and covering 145% of underlying operating expenses, excluding D&A[2] (vs. 133% in 2022):
oTechnology Solutions reported €109.9 million of revenue (+9.8%), reflecting continued benefits from the internalisation of colocation services following the migration of the Core Data Centre to Bergamo, Italy;
oAdvanced Data Services revenue grew to €224.8million (+6.0%), driven by a strong performance across the data products offering and solid demand for analytic products;
oCustody and Settlement revenue grew to €248.9 million (+2.4%), driven by growing assets under custody, improved revenue capture and continued expansion of the services business. This was partly offset by lower settlement volumes and the negative FX impact. Like-for-like at constant currencies, revenue was up +5.5%;
oListing revenue grew to €220.6 million (+1.0%), thanks to the continued expansion of the Corporate Services offering. In 2023, Euronext remained the leading venue for equity listing in Europe, recording 64 new equity listings, and the leading venue for debt listing globally. Listing performance was negatively impacted by FX impact. Like-for-like at constant currencies, revenue was up +3.2%.

·Adjusted net income2 was €584.7 million (+5.3%) and adjusted EPS was €5.51 (+5.9%).
