Operating Revenues
Operating revenues increased $73.3 million, or 16%, to $544.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $471.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Operating revenues derived from listed derivatives increased $21.9 million, or 22%, to $123.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $101.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Listed derivative contract volumes and the average rate per contract increased 13% and 7%, respectively, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. Both of these increases were driven by wide spread volatility in listed derivative markets during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Operating revenues derived from OTC derivatives increased $27.3 million, or 78%, to $62.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $35.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. This was the result of strong growth in OTC derivative contract volumes and the average rate per contract of 18% and 52%, respectively in the three months ended March 31, 2022. This growth was principally driven by increased volatility in global commodity and interest rate markets.
Operating revenue derived from securities transactions declined $6.5 million, or 4%, to $151.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $157.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decline was principally due to a 21% decline in the RPM, as the prior year period benefited from wider spreads due to volatility driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, and was partially offset by a 16% increase in ADV.
Operating revenues derived from FX/CFD contracts increased $24.2 million, or 32%, to $98.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $74.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, principally as a result of an $18.8 million increase in such operating revenues within our Retail segment.
Operating revenues from global payments increased $7.3 million, or 22%, to $40.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $32.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, principally driven by an 8% increase in ADV and a 12% increase in global payments RPM.
Operating revenues derived from physical contracts declined $8.8 million, or 18%, to $40.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $49.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decline is principally attributed to a decline in activity in our physical precious metals businesses as compared to a strong performance in the prior year comparative period.
Interest and fee income earned on client balances, which is associated with our listed and OTC derivatives, correspondent clearing, and independent wealth management product offerings, increased $4.6 million, or 79%, to $10.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $5.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. This was principally driven by an increase in average client equity and average money-market/FDIC sweep client balances of 38% and 29%, respectively, as well as a modest increase in short-term interest rates.
Operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included a $1.2 million loss on derivative positions used to mitigate our exposure to the British Pound in the acquired Gain subsidiaries in advance of the March 1, 2021 transfer of the majority of the operations of Gain’s U.K. domiciled subsidiaries into StoneX Financial Ltd., a U.S. dollar denominated entity. In addition, as Gain’s U.K. subsidiaries had a functional currency of British Pound, the increased U.S. dollar exposure resulted in a $3.1 million foreign currency gain on revaluation for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Each of these items were reflected in operating revenues in the Corporate Unallocated segment.
Other Gain
The results of the three months ended March 31, 2022 include a nonrecurring gain of $6.4 million related to a foreign exchange antitrust class action settlement received in March 2022.
Impact of the Gain on Acquisitions
The Company acquired Gain Capital Holdings, Inc., effective August 1, 2020. When evaluating the acquisition of Gain, management also considers the amortization expense related to the intangible assets identified and recorded as part of the acquisition and the net loss on the internal merger of the operations of Gain’s U.K. subsidiaries.
The following table presents income before tax, income tax expense, and net income as reported in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The following table also presents adjusted income before tax, adjusted income tax expense, and adjusted net income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The “adjusted” non-GAAP financial measures reflect each item after removing the impact of the related transaction costs and other expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the transaction costs and other expenses is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.

Our variable expenses include variable compensation paid to traders and risk management consultants, bonuses paid to operational, administrative and executive employees, transaction-based clearing expenses and introducing broker commissions. We seek to make non-interest expenses variable to the greatest extent possible, and to keep our fixed costs as low as possible.

Appendix A
The “adjusted” non-GAAP amounts reflect each item after removing the impact of the related transaction costs and other expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Management believes that presenting our results excluding the related transaction costs and other expenses is meaningful, as it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.

(1) For the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, operating revenues included unrealized losses on derivative positions of $1.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively, used to mitigate our exposure to the British Pound in the acquired Gain subsidiaries in advance of the March 1, 2021 transfer of the majority of the operations of Gain’s U.K. domiciled subsidiaries into StoneX Financial Ltd., a U.S. dollar denominated entity. In addition, as Gain’s U.K. subsidiaries had a functional currency of British Pound, the increased U.S. dollar exposure resulted in foreign currency gains on revaluation of $3.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
