The average commission per cleared Commissionable Order was $2.96 including exchange, clearing and regulatory fees.

For the first quarter of 2022, Interactive Brokers reported diluted earnings per share of $0.74 and $0.82 as adjusted. For the year-ago quarter, reported diluted earnings per share were $1.16 and $0.98 as adjusted.

Reported net revenues were $645 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $692 million as adjusted. For the year-ago quarter, reported net revenues were $893 million and $796 million as adjusted. The result for the first three months of 2022 was better than the one recorded in the final quarter of 2021.

Commission revenue decreased 15% to $349 million in the first quarter of 2022 due to customer stock volume that dropped from an unusually active trading period last year, but was aided by higher customer options and futures trading volumes.

Net interest income decreased 8% to $282 million on a decline in securities lending activity, partially offset by gains on margin lending and segregated cash balances.
