In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. #### **Basis for Opinion** This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2018.

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS** XTX Markets LLC, (the 'Company') is a U.S. registered broker and dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The sole member of the Company is XTX Holdings LLC, a limited liability corporation registered in Delaware. The Company was organized for the purpose of trading equity securities and treasuries utilizing a proprietary electronic trading model. The Company exclusively trades on its own account and not on behalf of customers. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company. The Company became registered as a securities broker-dealer and member of the Chicago Stock Exchange (now NYSE Chicago) on December 13, 2017. The Company became a FINRA member on May 24, 2024. The Company operates as a single segment. The Company is a member of the Securities and Investor Protection Corporation ('SIPC'). Its designated examining authority is NYSE Chicago (FINRA conducts oversight on their behalf). It trades equity securities via sponsored access on various equities exchanges and equities Alternative Trading Systems ('ATS', a regulated electronic trading system with registered broker-dealers that match buy and sell orders), and on Brokertec via sponsored access for treasuries. The Company does not trade any derivative products. ## **2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ### **Basis of presentation** The financial statement of the Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ('US GAAP'). The financial statement is presented in U.S. dollars. ## **Use of estimates** The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statement is reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ### **Financial instruments owned** Proprietary securities transactions in regular-way trades are recorded on the trade date, as if they had settled. Profit and loss arising from all securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company are recorded on a trade date basis. Amounts receivable and payable for securities transactions that have not reached their contractual settlement date are recorded gross on the statement of financial condition under "Receivable from broker-dealers and clearing organizations" and "Payable to broker-dealers and clearing organizations". Securities are recorded at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. #### **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash consists of deposits with banks. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less, that are not segregated and deposited for regulatory purposes, and highly liquid money market funds that invest in US Treasuries. {7}------------------------------------------------ **Notes To The Financial Statement** ## **2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** #### **Foreign currency transactions** Items included in the financial statement are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the functional currency). The financial statement is presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. Dollar currencies are remeasured into United States dollar equivalents at spot foreign exchange rates prevailing on the date of the Statement of Financial Condition. #### **Taxes** The Company has filed an election for US Federal income tax purposes to be disregarded as a separate entity from its parent, a disregarded entity ("DRE"). As a DRE, the Company is treated as a division of its sole member and is not subject to tax on a standalone basis in all jurisdictions in which it currently operates. Pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes, an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of its parent's income tax provision to the separate financial statement of a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority. ## **Operating leases** The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. The Company is a lessee in two noncancelable operating leases, for office space. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate. The discount rate is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable or otherwise the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rate of our leases are not readily determinable and accordingly, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date for the lease. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the remeasured lease liability (i.e., present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus or minus any prepaid or accrued lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment recognized. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease cost associated with our short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. #### **Financial instruments sold not yet purchased** The Company has sold securities that it does not currently own and therefore may be obligated to purchase such securities at a future date. The Company has recorded these obligations in the financial {8}------------------------------------------------ **Notes To The Financial Statement** ## **2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** statement as of December 31, 2025 at fair value which is the market value of the related securities. Such obligations have market risk to the extent that subsequent market fluctuations may require the Company to repurchase the securities at prices in excess of the market value reflected in the statement of financial condition. ## **Fixed assets** Fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: - Leasehold improvements: shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvement and the remaining lease term - IT equipment: 5 years - Fixtures and fittings: 7 years Expenditures for additions, improvements and renewals are capitalised and expenditures for maintenance and repairs expensed as incurred. The carrying values of fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. A fixed asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. # **3. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS** The Company had restricted cash of \$4,315 at December 31, 2025 in respect of amounts lodged to support standby letters of credit to facilitate treasuries trading. All other amounts presented on the statement of financial condition were unrestricted. The Company held cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 in the form of a savings account and highly liquid money market funds. # **4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT** FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a hierarchy of fair value inputs. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: x Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date. {9}------------------------------------------------ **Notes To The Financial Statement** ## **4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)** - x Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. - x Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3. There were no transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy within the period. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Company's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows. *Exchange-Traded Equity Securities*: Exchange-traded equity securities are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied, and they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are categorized in level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy *Debt securities:* Debt securities are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange. All the trading debt securities are U.S. Treasuries and are therefore categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025. As required by this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgement and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. | | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total Fair

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)** Other than the note receivable, related party, the carrying value of all other financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and are classified as either Level 1 (cash and cash equivalents, deposits with clearing organizations) or Level 2 (receivable from broker-dealers and clearing organizations, payable to broker-dealer and clearing organizations, accounts payable, and due to related parties). The note receivable, related party is classified within Level 3 and has a fair value of \$215,318. ### **5. DUE FROM/TO BROKER-DEALERS AND CLEARING ORGANIZATIONS AND DEPOSITS WITH CLEARING ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHERS** The Company clears its proprietary transactions through other broker-dealers. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had deposits due from these broker-dealers and clearing organizations of \$584,140, receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organizations of \$52 and amounts due to broker-dealers and clearing organizations of \$58,901. Included in deposits with clearing organizations and others are deposits, margin, and unsettled transactions. Amounts due from broker-dealers and clearing organizations consist of rebates receivable and amounts due to broker-dealers and clearing organizations consist of exchange and clearing fees payable, as well as amounts due in respect of unsettled transactions. # **6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES** The Company has standby letters of credit with banks issued in respect of its treasuries trading and operating leases for \$4,315 and \$7,590, respectively. The full amounts remain undrawn. The \$4,315 is included within "Cash and cash equivalents" and the \$7,590 is unfunded and is an off balance-sheet item. # **7. RELATED PARTIES** The Company is a fully owned subsidiary of XTX Holdings LLC, a company domiciled in the US and US tax resident. Intercompany amounts in respect of recharges under expense sharing agreements due among related parties are interest free and repayable on demand. There have been no guarantees received from related parties or provided to related parties. The Company paid dividends totaling \$91,000 this year to XTX Holdings LLC. XTX Holdings LLC provided a capital contribution totaling \$181,000 to help support the Company's business growth. On April 11, 2025 and September 2, 2025 the Company loaned XTX Holdings Limited, an affiliate, \$120,000 and \$225,000, respectively, its extra surplus for the purpose of centralizing surplus cash in line with group's treasury policy. The April loan was repaid by the end of June, and the maturity of the September loan is August 2030. The current balance of the loan of \$225,000 and accrued interest receivable of \$2,984 as of December 31, 2025 are recorded as Note receivable, related party, on the statement of financial position. The interest is equal to the short term applicable federal rate announced by the United States Internal Revenue Service, accrued on a daily basis on a 360-day year, and payable on loan maturity. The Company attributes profits to XTX Markets Technologies Limited, an affiliate of the Company, in respect of net profits initially booked within the Company but where management consider that the value-added activities in respect of the profits are provided by employees of XTX Markets Technologies Limited. These amounts are derived using a profit split calculation that reallocates profits and costs (comprising administrative, general and operating expenses) among affiliated entities based on the {11}------------------------------------------------ **Notes To The Financial Statement** # **7. RELATED PARTIES (continued)** value-added activities performed globally. Additionally, the Company receives amounts calculated in accordance with transfer pricing principles from affiliated entities in respect of net income generated by these entities but where management consider that the value added activities in respect of this income is provided by employees of the Company. Additionally, the Company pays amounts paid to XTX Markets Technologies Limited, in respect of bespoke I.P. and execution activities, and costs recharged between the Company and affiliated entities to ensure that each legal entity accurately bears its share of costs incurred. These costs include administrative, general and operating expenses, including employee compensation and benefits. Operating expenses consist of a combination of trading and back office I.T. costs including exchange connectivity, market data and back office subscription costs. Related party charges shall not be viewed as the solicitation of services and/or sale of tangible personal property. Charges incurred by the Company are solely costs of the entity and related party charges are generated to allocate the reimbursement of these costs. Other than for notes receivable from related parties, no formal settlement terms exist for settlement of any other associated related party receivables or payables although a master netting agreement is in place that allows for net settlement of intercompany payables and receivables. Balances are typically settled on a monthly basis. The following table sets forth the Company's related party assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025: | | Due to relates parties | Notes

LEASES** The Company's office space lease as lessee commenced in 2022, and in 2025, the Company entered into a new office space lease. The Company did not have any involvement in the construction or design of the building. The office space leases are determined to be operating leases.

CREDIT RISK, FINANCING RISK AND MARKET RISK** The Company is engaged in various trading and brokerage activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties do not fulfil their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty. The Company maintains cash deposit and investment accounts with financial institutions which, at times, may exceed U.S. federal insured limits. In the event of a financial institution's insolvency, recovery of assets may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded to such accounts. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts. Financing risks include the exposure the Company has to margin requirements in place with clearing brokers and counterparties. Changes in margin requirements, including the related changes in fair value of investments, may result in the Company having to pledge additional margin or to sell securities to meet required margin. These {13}------------------------------------------------ **Notes To The Financial Statement** #### **9. CREDIT RISK, FINANCING RISK AND MARKET RISK (continued)** activities may take place when market conditions are not optimal and may result in a realized loss on securities transactions and additional margin requirements with clearing brokers and counterparties. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of financial instruments. Categories of market risk include, but are not limited to, exposure to equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, credit prices and currency prices. Market risk is directly impacted by volatility and liquidity in the markets. As a quantitative trading firm, the Company's trading levels may vary significantly on an intraday basis as a result of changing market and economic conditions. End of day positions may not be representative of trading levels conducted by the Company during the trading day. The Company relies on service providers that are integral to its revenue generating activities. A disruption of services provided such as connectivity may have an impact on the financial results of the Company. The Company may invest directly in non-US currencies or securities that are denominated in non-US currencies. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by government entities, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other geopolitical developments. ### **10. CONTINGENCIES** In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company may be involved in legal or regulatory proceedings and/or inquiries concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its operations. In the Company's opinion, there are no matters that may ultimately result from such legal and regulatory actions which are expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company. The Company may enter into agreements with indemnifications in the normal course of business. #### **11. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION** The Company has one reportable segment: trading. The Company derives revenue primarily in North America and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The trading segment derives revenue from trading on its own account utilizing a proprietary electronic trading model. The accounting policies of the Company's trading segment are the same as those described in the summary of the significant accounting policies. The Company's chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the trading segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income and excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss. The CODM manages the business activities using the information of the Company as a whole. The measure of segment assets is reported on the statement of financial condition as total assets. All long-lived assets are located in the US. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets), in addition to excess net capital, in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or other parts of the entity, such as to pay dividends. Net income is also used to monitor plan versus actual results. {14}------------------------------------------------ **Notes To The Financial Statement** # **12.
