Cautionary Language

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including those relating to our capital needs, business strategy, expectations and intentions. Statements that use the terms“believe”, “anticipate”, “trend”, “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “intend” and similar expressions of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements forpurposes of the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. For these statements and all other forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-lookingstatements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy or are otherwise beyond our control and some of whichmight not even be anticipated. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and because our business is subject to such risks and uncertainties,actual results, our strategic plan, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could differ materially from those described in or contemplated by the forward-lookingstatements contained in this presentation.

Important factors that contribute to such risks include, but are not limited to, those factors set forth under "Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as thefollowing: the effect of changes in global and regional economic conditions including as a result of the quantitative easing program implemented by the European Central Bank; theeconomic, political and monetary impacts of Brexit; levels of television advertising spending and the rate of development of the advertising markets in the countries in which we operate;our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness; the extent to which our debt service obligations and covenants may restrict our business; our exposure to additional tax liabilities aswell as liabilities resulting from regulatory or legal proceedings initiated against us; our success in continuing our initiatives to diversify and enhance our revenue streams; our ability tomake cost-effective investments in our television businesses, including investments in programming; our ability to develop and acquire necessary programming and attract audiences;and changes in the political and regulatory environments where we operate and in the application of relevant laws and regulations.

The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with other cautionary statements that are included in our filings. Fora more detailed description of these uncertainties and other features, please see the “Risk Factors” section in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securitiesand Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on when they were made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresWhile CME reports its results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this presentation also refers to several non-GAAP financialmeasures, including OIBDA, OIBDA margin, free cash flow and unlevered free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in managing the business, and as suchmanagement believes they may provide meaningful information to investors about underlying trends in our business. While our reporting currency is the dollar, our consolidated revenuesand costs are divided across a range of European currencies and CME Ltd.’s function currency is the Euro. Given the significant movement of the currencies in the markets in whichwe operate against the dollar, we believe that it is useful to provide percentage movements based on actual (“% Act”) percentage movements, which includes the effect of foreignexchange, as well as like-for-like percentage movements (“% Lfl”). The like-for-like percentage movement references reflect the impact of applying the current period average exchangerates to the prior period revenues and costs.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, CME’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see the attachedappendix for a description of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Business Outlook

Based on our view today, on a five country basis in 2019 we expect:

• OIBDA growth of 10% - 12% at constant exchange rates.

• Unlevered free cash flow growth of 8% - 10% at actual rates.

Impact of foreign exchange rates on guidance:

• A 1% change in the average EUR/USD rate for the full year would result in a change in OIBDA

of approximately US$ 2 million.

Supplemental cash flow information:

• Cash paid for interest and guarantee fees in 2019 expected to be less than US$ 27 million.

• Cash paid for income taxes in 2019 expected to be around US$ 35 million.

• Capital expenditures expected to be around US$ 25 million.

The outlook above does not include the impact of any unanticipated legal proceedings or other actions that may occur from time-to-time due to managementdecisions and changing business circumstances.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

24

In this presentation we refer to several non-GAAP financial measures, including OIBDA, OIBDA margin, free cash flow and unleveredfree cash flow. We believe that each of these metrics is useful to investors for the reasons outlined below. Non-GAAP financial measuresmay not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be evaluated inconjunction with, and are not a substitute for, US GAAP financial measures.

We evaluate our consolidated results and the performance of our segments based on net revenues and OIBDA. We believe OIBDA isuseful to investors because it provides a meaningful representation of our performance, as it excludes certain items that do not impacteither our cash flows or the operating results of our operations. OIBDA and unlevered free cash flow are also used as components indetermining management bonuses.

OIBDA includes amortization and impairment of program rights and is calculated as operating income / loss before depreciation,amortization of intangible assets and impairments of assets and certain unusual or infrequent items that are not considered by our co-CEOs when evaluating our performance. From January 1, 2018, stock-based compensation and certain operating costs incurred onbehalf of our segments at the corporate level have been allocated to our segments for purposes of evaluating their performance. Priorperiod information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. Our key performance measure of the efficiency of ourconsolidated operations and our segments is OIBDA margin. We define OIBDA margin as the ratio of OIBDA to net revenues.

Following a repricing of our Guarantee Fees in March 2017 and April 2018, we pay interest and related Guarantee Fees on our outstandingindebtedness in cash. In addition to this obligation to pay Guarantee Fees in cash, we expect to use cash generated by the businessto pay certain Guarantee Fees that were previously paid in kind. These cash payments are all reflected in free cash flow; accordinglywe believe unlevered free cash flow, defined as free cash flow before cash payments for interest and Guarantee Fees, best illustratesthe cash generated by our operations when comparing periods. We define free cash flow as net cash generated from continuing operatingactivities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, net of disposals of property, plant and equipment and excluding the cashimpact of certain unusual or infrequent items that are not included in costs charged in arriving at OIBDA because they are not consideredby our co-CEOs when evaluating performance.
