First-Quarter 2020 RPC/Net Revenue Capture Guidance
Options
The company currently expects RPC for total options for the first quarter of 2020 to be 6.0 to 7.0 percent higher than the amounts noted below for the two months ended February 29, 2020, primarily reflecting a higher percentage of volume from index options in March compared to the two-month average. The RPC for multi-listed options for the first quarter is expected to be 1.5 to 2.5 percent above the two-month average, due in part to a mix shift, with ETFs accounting for a higher percentage of total volume. The RPC for index options is expected to be 1.5 to 2.5 percent above the two-month average noted below, reflecting a mix shift by order execution and type, as well as the impact of a fee increase for SPX options implemented on February 2.

Futures
The RPC for futures in the first quarter of 2020 is expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 percent above the two-month average noted below, reflecting lower volume-related rebates in March.

U.S. Equities
The revenue capture for U.S. Equities for the first quarter of 2020 is expected to be 7.0 to 8.0 percent above the two-month average noted below, reflecting a mix shift in volume.

European Equities
The revenue capture for European Equities for the first quarter of 2020 is expected to be 5.5 to 6.5 percent below the two-month average noted below, reflecting the net impact of volume-based tiers on March's higher volume. 

Global FX
The revenue capture for Global FX for the first quarter of 2020 is expected to be 1.0 to 2.0 percent below the two-month average noted below, reflecting the impact of higher volumes in March. 

These expectations are estimated, preliminary and may change. There can be no assurance that our final RPC for the three months ended March 31, 2020, will not differ materially from these expectations.

The following represents average RPC and met revenue capture based on a two-month and a three-month rolling average, reported on a one-month lag. The average RPC represents total transaction fees for C1, C2, BZX and EDGX Options Exchanges and CFE recognized for the period divided by total contracts traded during the period. For U.S. Equities, "net capture per 100 touched shares" refers to annual transaction fees less liquidity payments and routing and clearing costs divided by the product of one-hundredth ADV of touched shares on BZX, BYX, EDGX and EDGA and the number of trading days. For European Equities, "net capture per matched notional value" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments in British pounds divided by the product of ADNV in British pounds of shares matched on Cboe Europe Equities and the number of trading days. For Global FX, "net capture per one million dollars traded" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments, if any, divided by the product of one-thousandth of ADNV traded on the Cboe FX Markets and the number of trading days, divided by two, which represents the buyer and seller that are both charged on the transaction. Average transaction fees per contract can be affected by various factors, including exchange fee rates, volume-based discounts and transaction mix by contract type and product type.
