This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q and the section titled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of the 2025 Form 10-K. Overview We are a leader in building and operating electronic marketplaces for our global network of more than 3,000 clients across the financial ecosystem. Our network is comprised of clients across the institutional, wholesale, retail and corporates client sectors, including many of the largest global asset managers, hedge funds, insurance companies, central banks, banks and dealers, proprietary trading firms, retail brokerage and financial advisory firms, regional dealers and corporations. The Tradeweb platform includes marketplaces that facilitate trading global products across a range of asset classes, including rates, credit, equities and money markets. We are a global company serving clients through offices in North America, South America, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East. We believe our proprietary technology and culture of collaborative innovation allow us to adapt our platform offerings to enter new markets, create new trading marketplaces and solutions and adjust to regulations quickly and efficiently. We support our clients by providing solutions across the trade lifecycle, including pre-trade, execution, post-trade and data and analytics. Our institutional client sector serves institutional investors in over 85 countries around the globe and across over 30 currencies. We connect institutional investors with deep pools of liquidity using our flexible order and trading systems. Our clients trust the integrity of our markets and recognize the value they get by trading electronically: enhanced transparency, competitive pricing, efficient trade execution and regulatory compliance. In our wholesale client sector, we provide a broad range of fully electronic, voice and hybrid trading options to dealers and financial institutions trading on our platform. We entered the wholesale client sector through our acquisitions of the inter-dealer broker Hilliard Farber & Co., Inc. in 2008, and then Rafferty Capital Markets in 2011 and in June 2021, we acquired Nasdaq’s U.S. fixed income electronic trading platform (formerly known as eSpeed) (the “NFI Acquisition”). Today, we actively compete in wholesale trading across a range of rates, credit, money markets, derivatives and equity markets. In our retail client sector, our platform provides advanced trading solutions for financial advisory firms and traders. We entered the retail sector through our acquisition of LeverTrade in 2006 and scaled our retail market position through our acquisition of BondDesk in 2013. Through our platform we provide financial advisory firms access to live offerings, accurate pricing in the retail marketplace and fast execution. In our corporates client sector, we provide comprehensive investment technology and research solutions tailored to the needs of corporate treasury organizations globally. These solutions enable efficient trading of institutional money market funds and other short-term investments. We expanded into the corporates client sector through our acquisition of Institutional Cash Distributors (“ICD”) on August 1, 2024 (the “ICD Acquisition”). The addition of ICD to our platform broadened our product suite, further diversified our client and revenue bases and strengthened our position in the corporate treasury space, enabling us to provide a more comprehensive range of liquidity management tools and services. Our markets are large and growing. Electronic trading continues to increase in the markets in which we operate as a result of market demand for greater transparency, higher execution quality, operational efficiency and lower costs, as well as regulatory changes. We believe our deep client relationships, asset class breadth, geographic reach, regulatory knowledge and scalable technology position us to continue to be at the forefront of the evolution of electronic trading. Our platform provides transparent, efficient, cost-effective and compliant trading solutions across multiple products, regions and regulatory regimes. As market participants seek to trade across multiple asset classes, reduce their costs of trading and increase the effectiveness of their trading, including through the use of data and analytics, we believe the demand for our platform and electronic trading solutions will continue to grow. 48 Table of Contents Trends and Other Factors Impacting Our Performance Strategic Acquisitions and Investments From time to time, we may evaluate potential strategic acquisitions and investments and engage in discussions and negotiations regarding potential acquisitions and investments. Our revenues and profitability are affected by our acquisition activity, including the speed and cost at which we successfully integrate completed consolidated acquisitions into our existing business operations. In addition, our earnings volatility and profitability may be affected by any unrealized or realized gains or losses or income or losses from our Canton Coin holdings or unconsolidated minority equity or debt investments. Economic Environment Our business is impacted by the overall market activity and, in particular, trading volumes and market volatility. Lower volatility may result in lower trading volume for our clients and may negatively impact our operating performance and financial condition. Factors that may impact market activity during the remainder of 2026 include, among other things, evolving monetary policies of central banks, economic, political and social conditions, global geopolitical tensions, legislative, regulatory or government policy changes, including the recent and potential future changes in tariffs, international trade agreements or trade policies and other potential material changes to prior laws, rules and regulations, guidance and enforcement stances and concerns with respect to the banking industry, including as a result of any bank failures. Because the majority of our financial assets are short-term in nature, they are not significantly affected by inflation. However, the rate of inflation may affect our expenses, such as employee compensation and benefits, technology and communication expenses and occupancy costs, which may not be readily recoverable in the prices of our services. We believe any effects of inflation on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant during any of the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. To the extent inflation, along with other factors, continues to result in elevated interest rates and has other adverse effects on the securities markets and the overall economy, it may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. While our business is impacted by the overall activity of the market and market volatility, our revenues consist of a mix of fixed and variable fees that partially mitigates this impact. More importantly, we are actively engaged in the further electronification of trading activities, which will help mitigate this impact as we believe secular growth trends can partially offset market volatility risk. Regulatory Environment Our business is subject to extensive regulations in the United States and internationally, which may expose us to significant regulatory risk and cause additional legal costs to ensure compliance. The existing legal framework that governs the financial markets is periodically reviewed and amended, typically resulting in enforcement of new laws and regulations that apply to our business. The regulatory environment in the United States and abroad may be subject to future legislative and regulatory changes driven by current U.S. and global issues and priorities. Legislative and regulatory changes may include the promulgation of new or revised laws and regulations, or the adoption of changes in the interpretation of or the repeal of existing laws and regulations, or the abandonment of any pending legislative or regulatory proposals. The impact of any changes in the legal or regulatory landscape on us and our operations generally remains uncertain. Compliance with regulations may require us to dedicate additional financial and operational resources, which may adversely affect our profitability. In addition, compliance with regulations may require our clients to dedicate significant financial and operational resources, which may negatively affect their ability to pay our fees and use our platform and, as a result, our profitability. However, under certain circumstances regulation may increase demand for our platform and solutions, and we believe we are well positioned to benefit from any potential increased electronification due to regulatory changes as market participants seek platforms that meet regulatory requirements and solutions that help them comply with their regulatory obligations. Currently, we believe that uncertainty and potential delays around the final form of certain new rules and regulations may negatively impact our clients and trading volumes in certain markets in which we transact, although a relaxation of or the amendment of existing rules and regulations could potentially have a positive impact on certain markets. 49 Table of Contents Competitive Environment We and our competitors compete to introduce innovations in market structure and new electronic trading capabilities. While we endeavor to be a leader in innovation, new trading capabilities of our competitors are also adopted by market participants. On the one hand, this increases liquidity and electronification for all participants, but it also puts pressure on us to further invest in our technology and to innovate to ensure the continued growth of our network of clients and continued improvement of liquidity, electronic processing and pricing on our platform. Our ability to compete is influenced by key factors such as (i) developments in our trading platform and solutions, (ii) the liquidity we provide on transactions, (iii) the transaction costs we incur in providing our solutions, (iv) the efficiency in execution of transactions on our platform, (v) our ability to hire and retain talent, (vi) our ability to pursue strategic acquisitions and alliances and (vii) our ability to maintain the security of our platform and solutions. Our competitive position is also influenced by the familiarity and integration of our clients with our electronic, voice and hybrid systems. When either a client wants to trade in a new product or we want to introduce a new product, trading protocol or other solution, we believe we benefit from our clients’ familiarity with our offerings as well as our integration into their order management systems and back offices. Technology and Cybersecurity Environment Our business and its success are largely impacted by the introduction of increasingly complex and sophisticated technology systems and infrastructures and new business models.

In addition, our earnings volatility and profitability may be affected by any unrealized or realized gains or losses or income or losses from our Canton Coin holdings or unconsolidated minority equity or debt investments. LSEG Market Data Agreement In November 2023, we entered into a new market data license agreement with affiliates of LSEG, pursuant to which, among other things, we license certain market data (including real time feeds) for multiple fixed income and derivative products to LSEG which distributes such data directly to LSEG customers through its flagship financial platforms. This agreement was initiated in 2010 with a former owner of the LSEG Data & Analytics business and most recently amended effective November 1, 2025. We primarily earn fixed license fees under the amended market data license agreement, which has an initial 3-year license period through October 31, 2028. The amended market data license agreement is expected to result in higher annual revenue for the year ending December 31, 2026 as compared to the $93.2 million of revenue generated under the market data license agreement in 2025. The majority of the revenue expected to be earned under the amended market data license agreement will be recorded as revenue on a straight-line basis over its initial term ending October 31, 2028, with a portion of such revenue to be recognized when usage occurs based on a revenue share. We will seek to further monetize our data over time both through potential expansion of our existing market data license agreement with LSEG and through distributing additional datasets, derived data and analytics offerings through our own platform or through other third-party networks. Economic Environment Our business is impacted by the overall market activity and, in particular, trading volumes and market volatility. Lower volatility may result in lower trading volume for our clients and may negatively impact our operating performance and financial condition. Factors that may impact market activity in 2026 include, among other things, evolving monetary policies of central banks, economic, political and social conditions, global geopolitical tensions, legislative, regulatory or government policy changes, including the recent and potential future changes in tariffs, international trade agreements or trade policies and other potential material changes to prior laws, rules and regulations, guidance and enforcement stances and concerns with respect to the banking industry, including as a result of any bank failures. Because the majority of our financial assets are short-term in nature, they are not significantly affected by inflation. However, the rate of inflation may affect our expenses, such as employee compensation and benefits, technology and communication expenses and occupancy costs, which may not be readily recoverable in the prices of our services. We believe any effects of inflation on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant during any of the periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. To the extent inflation, along with other factors, continues to result in elevated interest rates and has other adverse effects on the securities markets and the overall economy, it may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. While our business is impacted by the overall activity of the market and market volatility, our revenues consist of a mix of fixed and variable fees that partially mitigates this impact. More importantly, we are actively engaged in the further electronification of trading activities, which will help mitigate this impact as we believe secular growth trends can partially offset market volatility risk. 74 Table of Contents Regulatory Environment Our business is subject to extensive regulations in the United States and internationally, which may expose us to significant regulatory risk and cause additional legal costs to ensure compliance. See Part I, Item 1. – “Business – Regulation.” The existing legal framework that governs the financial markets is periodically reviewed and amended, typically resulting in enforcement of new laws and regulations that apply to our business. The regulatory environment in the United States and abroad may be subject to future legislative and regulatory changes driven by current U.S. and global issues and priorities. Legislative and regulatory changes may include the promulgation of new or revised laws and regulations, or the adoption of changes in the interpretation of or the repeal of existing laws and regulations, or the abandonment of any pending legislative or regulatory proposals. The impact of any changes in the legal or regulatory landscape on us and our operations generally remains uncertain. Compliance with regulations may require us to dedicate additional financial and operational resources, which may adversely affect our profitability. In addition, compliance with regulations may require our clients to dedicate significant financial and operational resources, which may negatively affect their ability to pay our fees and use our platform and, as a result, our profitability. However, under certain circumstances regulation may increase demand for our platform and solutions, and we believe we are well positioned to benefit from any potential increased electronification due to regulatory changes as market participants seek platforms that meet regulatory requirements and solutions that help them comply with their regulatory obligations. Currently, we believe that uncertainty and potential delays around the final form of certain new rules and regulations may negatively impact our clients and trading volumes in certain markets in which we transact, although a re [Excerpt truncated for page length; the complete text is on the linked full-MD&A page.] Read the full FY 2025 MD&A: /company/TW/mda/fy2025/ All MD&A years: /company/TW/mda/ ## MD&A history Prior-year 10-K MD&A spans are extracted from SEC filings with the same bounded parser used for the latest filing.
