Equity Method Investments Our equity method investments include the Options Clearing Corporation, or OCC, and Bakkt Holdings, Inc. and Bakkt Opco Holdings, LLC, or collectively, Bakkt, among others. Our equity method investments are included in other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We initially record our equity method investments at cost. At the end of each reporting period, we record our share of net income or loss of our equity method investments as equity earnings included in other income, net, in our consolidated statements of income, and adjust the carrying value of our equity method investments accordingly. In addition, if and when our equity method investments issue cash dividends to us, we deduct the amount of these dividends from the carrying amount of that investment. We assess the carrying value periodically if impairment indicators are present. We recognized $35 million of income and $45 million of loss as our share of estimated income/loss, net, from our equity method investments during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $6 million of income and $3 million of loss as our share of estimated income/loss, net, from our equity method investments during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The estimated income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily related to our share of net income of OCC. The estimated loss for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily related to our investment in Bakkt, partially offset by our share of net income of OCC. Both periods include adjustments to reflect the difference between reported prior period actual results from our original estimates. When performing our assessment of the carrying value of our investments, we consider, among other things, the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our cost basis, if applicable, the investee's financial condition and near-term prospects, the economic or technological environment in which our investees operate, weakening of the general market condition of the related industry, whether an investee can continue as a going concern, any impairment charges recorded by an investee on goodwill, intangible or long-lived assets, and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. OCC We own a 40% interest in OCC through a direct investment by the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. OCC is regulated by the SEC as a registered clearing agency and by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, as a derivatives clearing organization. OCC serves as a clearing house for securities options, securities futures, commodity futures and options on futures traded on various independent exchanges. OCC clears securities options traded on NYSE Arca Options and NYSE American Options, along with other non-affiliated exchanges. Bakkt As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held an approximate 53% economic interest in Bakkt. As a result of limitations on ICE from the Bakkt voting agreement entered into in connection with Bakkt's merger with Victory Park Capital Impact Acquisition Holdings, we hold a minority voting interest in Bakkt and treat it as an equity method investment. As of June 30, 2025, we do not have any value assigned to the equity method investment carrying value for Bakkt primarily due to our continued recording of our share of losses. As Bakkt is a public company with a readily available market price, the fair value of our investment was $104 million as of June 30, 2025, which was based on the quoted market price of Bakkt Class A common stock as of June 30, 2025. On August 12, 2024, we entered into a revolving credit agreement with Bakkt pursuant to which we agreed to provide Bakkt with a $40 million secured revolving line of credit that matures on December 31, 2026. The $40 million is available in defined commitment amounts for specified time periods in the future. As of June 30, 2025, the total commitment amount available to Bakkt was $30 million, of which no amounts were outstanding at the end of the period. As an equity method investee, Bakkt is a related party of ICE. The interest earned on the previously funded amount combined with the commitment fees charged to Bakkt were immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Other Equity Method Investments During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a gain of $2 million on one of our other equity method investments. Equity Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values Our equity investments without readily determinable fair values are included in other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. For these investments, we apply the measurement alternative in Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 321, Investments - Equity Securities, or ASC 321. Under the measurement alternative, these investments are recorded at cost minus any impairment, and adjusted to fair value if and when there is an observable price change in an orderly transaction for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, with any change in fair value recognized in net income. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material adjustments made to the carrying values of these investments.
