A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO AND CHAIRMAN OF THE MANAGING BOARD

Today, Euronext is determined to build the leading pan-European market infrastructure by growing and seizing opportunities, to accelerate innovation and sustainable growth.

Stéphane Boujnah CEO and Chairman of the Managing Board

Dear Shareholders, Euronext delivered a strong performance in 2019, as the Group demonstrated the resilience of its core business and successfully diversified into new geographies, new asset classes and new products. Despite lower trading volumes, our trading business proved its robustness with strong cash trading market share and improved yield management. At the same time we further reduced our exposure to volume related businesses, expanding our post-trade offering as we acquired Oslo Børs VPS and further developed our investor services and corporate services offering. On the technology front, we successful rolled out Optiq to our Derivatives market, demonstrating our agile approach to technology as we raise industry standard. By operating our Cash and Derivatives Markets on a single platform, Euronext can fully leverage features across asset classes and deliver a truly innovative and flexible trading environment to our clients. 2019 also saw the launch of our new strategic plan. Let’s Grow Together 2022 is the next phase of the exciting journey we embarked on in 2014. Over the past few years, Euronext has significantly increased in scale, diversified its business profile, and optimized its structure. The Group has continuously invested in technology, innovation and people. Today, Euronext is determined to build the leading pan-European market infrastructure by growing and seizing opportunities, to accelerate innovation and sustainable growth. The Group will continue to extend its business across the full value chain of financial markets, enhancing its best-in-class services to all clients, and consolidating its key role within the pan-European financial ecosystem. Let’s Grow Together 2022 will leverage those strengths, guiding Euronext as it transforms its business and delivers on its mission of connecting local economies to global capital markets.

The Group already reached a first milestone with the acquisition of Nord Pool, strengthening its presence in the Nordics and diversifying into power markets. Euronext remains committed to deploying its capital, in a disciplined way, to diversify its revenue profile and to expand its federal model further. As we are at the heart of the financial ecosystem, Euronext is committed support the acceleration of the transition towards sustainable growth and finance, notably by capitalizing on Oslo Børs VPS’s expertise and the Group’s franchise in green bonds and ESG indices. Euronext commitments will translate into the development and active support of innovative and sustainable products and services for clients and other members of the financial community. The Group will also support the promotion of tangible sustainable practices in Euronext and within its wider ecosystem to support the transition to sustainable growth and to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. A first step was achieved in late 2019 with the successful launch of our Green bonds segment.
