Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted per-share earnings were $3.56, ahead of the $3.48 anticipated by analysts, according to FactSet.
Revenue less costs increased 25% to $731.6 million, compared with analysts' estimate of $718.62 million, per FactSet. Net revenue was $1.44 billion.

Cboe raised its full-year outlook for total net revenue growth to a percentage range in the mid- to high-teens. It had previously projected low double-digit to mid-teens percentage growth.
