Revenues
Operating revenue was $187.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, up $38.1 million, or 26 percent, from $148.9 million in the third quarter of 2014. This was largely driven by a $40.5 million increase in transaction fees, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in access fees.
Transaction fees rose 39 percent in the quarter due to a 31 percent increase in the average revenue per contract (RPC) and a 6 percent increase in trading volume compared with the third quarter of 2014. Total trading volume in the third quarter was 335.7 million contracts, or 5.25 million contracts per day, compared with volume of 316.9 million contracts, or 4.95 million contracts per day, in last year's third quarter. Trading volume in the third quarter included record volume for index options and futures. The RPC was $0.431 compared with $0.329 in the third quarter of 2014.
The higher RPC primarily reflects a favorable shift in the mix of products traded with a higher proportion of volume coming from index options and futures contracts, which generate the highest RPC. These product categories accounted for 44.6 percent of trading volume in the third quarter of 2015 compared with 33.8 percent in the third quarter of 2014. Additionally, the RPC increased across each product category due to fee adjustments and lower volume discounts and incentives.

The average revenue per contract represents total transaction fee revenue divided by total reported trading volume for Chicago Board Options Exchange® (CBOE®), C2 Options ExchangeSM (C2SM) and CBOE Futures ExchangeSM (CFE®).
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $85.9 million for the third quarter of 2015, up $12.1 million or 16 percent, compared with $73.8 million for the same period in 2014, primarily due to higher costs for professional fees and outside services, royalty fees and depreciation and amortization.
The company's core operating expenses, which include total operating expenses less volume-based expenses, depreciation and amortization, accelerated stock-based compensation expense and unusual or one-time expenses, were $51.1 million for the third quarter of 2015, up $4.8 million, or 10 percent, compared with last year's third quarter. The increase in core operating expenses primarily reflects increases of $4.4 million in professional fees and outside services and $0.9 million in compensation and benefits. The increase in professional fees and outside services is primarily attributed to the company's outsourcing of certain regulatory services to FINRA, which occurred in December 2014. The increase in compensation and benefits was largely due to higher expenses for stock-based compensation and incentive compensation, driven by the company's stronger financial performance.
Volume-based expenses, which include royalty fees and order-routing fees, were $22.4 million in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $5.2 million or 30 percent, compared with the same period last year. This increase includes higher royalty fees of $5.6 million, partially offset by lower order-routing fees of $0.4 million. The increase in royalty fees was driven by higher trading volume in licensed index products, which rose 40.7 percent over last year's third quarter.
Operating Margin
The company's operating margin reached a record high of 54.1 percent for the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 370 basis points compared with 50.4 percent for the third quarter of 2014. The margin increase reflects the positive operating leverage generated from the company's higher revenue base.
Effective Tax Rate
On a GAAP basis, the company reported an effective tax rate of 33.4 percent for the current quarter compared with 35.4 percent in last year's third quarter. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of this year included the benefit of the release of uncertain tax positions. Excluding a non-GAAP adjustment of $4.3 million, the effective tax rate for the current quarter was 37.7 percent.
Year to date, the company's adjusted effective tax rate of 38.5 percent is in line with its guidance range for the full-year 2015 of 38.5 percent to 39.5 percent.

2015 Fiscal Year Financial Guidance

• | Core expenses for the 2015 fiscal year are now expected to be in the range of $194.0 million to $196.0 million. The previous guidance range was $190.0 million to $194.0 million. The increase primarily reflects higher incentive-based compensation, which is aligned with the company's financial performance. |
The company also reaffirmed guidance for the 2015 fiscal year as follows:
• | Continuing stock-based compensation expense included in core expenses is expected to be approximately $12.0 million for the full year. |
• | Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $37.0 million to $40.0 million. |
• | Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to be in the range of $46.0 million to $48.0 million. |
• | The adjusted effective tax rate for the full-year 2015 is expected to be in the range of 38.5 percent to 39.5 percent. Significant changes in trading volume, expenses, state and local tax rates and other items, including ongoing state and federal tax audits, could materially impact this expectation. |
