2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITEDLETTER FROM THE CHAIR It is once again my pleasure to report to you as Chair of the Board of Directors of TMX Group Limited. In a year marked by significant accomplishments and achievements across the company, TMX Group also underwent a successful transition in leadership from Tom Kloet to our new CEO, Lou Eccleston. I want to reiterate my thanks to Tom for his six years of dedicated leadership and for his invaluable contributions to TMX Group’s evolution. Lou Eccleston brings extensive experience and proven management expertise to our company and to Canada’s financial industry. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to working with Lou and his management team. TMX Group is well positioned for the future. As the global economic environment continues to change, this company stands to benefit from its strong technological capabilities, talent and assets. TMX Group has become a much more diversified company and we are committed to seeking out new opportunities to meet customer needs and grow our business. In addition to Tom, I would like to recognize three other directors, Bill Hatanaka, Bill Royan and Tom Woods, who retired during 2014. I personally enjoyed working with each of them and thank them for their valued contributions to the Board of Directors. I also want to welcome our new directors, Lise Lachapelle, Christian Exshaw, Martine Irman, Michael Wissell, and, of course, Lou. I would like to thank the diverse and talented group of employees at TMX Group for their commitment to the long-term success of our company. Finally, I want to express my thanks to our shareholders for their support as we turn to the next chapter in TMX Group’s history. Charles Winograd Chair, Board of Directors TMX Group Limited March 16, 2015 LETTER FROM THE CEO
Upon joining TMX Group last November, I committed to delving deeply into identifying our strengths and our
weaknesses, the challenges that our clients are facing and to understand what is necessary to manage our key role
in Canada’s economy and our position in the global marketplace. In the last few months, I have met with many of
our broad base of stakeholders, including key customers, employees, shareholders and regulators. This in-depth
and ongoing learning process has proven to be a great help to me and to our team as we set the course for the
future.
TMX Group Is made up of an impressive portfolio of assets, capabilities and intellectual capital. As we prepare to
enter the next crucial phase in our evolution, the job at hand is to determine how best to leverage all of our
strengths and enable innovation across our business lines to create unique solutions for our clients that only TMX
Group can provide.
Review of 2014 Performance
Throughout the year, the economic environment was in a constant state of change. Rapid and significant
movements in commodity prices, particularly oil prices, currency values and interest rate levels created risks for
certain companies and opportunities for others.
In our own business, increased volatility and reduced capital spending in the resource sector had a negative effect
on financing activity, but at the same time, the upswing in volatility helped spur increases in trading activity across
our markets.
In looking back now at TMX Group’s 2014 performance, it is important to note that despite the effects of some
unpredictable factors, we saw encouraging signs within the numbers. For example, notwithstanding the severe
downturn in commodity prices, we ranked in the top five amongst global exchanges in key new listings statistics in
2014.
We also marked the graduation of the 600th company from TSX Venture Exchange to Toronto Stock Exchange since
January 1, 2000. TSX Venture Exchange is a prime example of the strong capital formation process we provide to
companies in Canada and around the world. TMX Group serves emerging small cap and early stage companies and
helps them grow into the blue-chips of the future. It is unique in the world marketplace and remains the only
public venture capital exchange of this scope and size. Some of the biggest success stories of Toronto Stock
Exchange are TSX Venture Exchange graduates.
Overall, Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange equity trading volumes were up year over year, along
with volumes on our energy business, NGX. Montréal Exchange volumes were higher compared with 2013, and
MX also set new records in daily volume and overall levels of open interest during the year. We also had revenue
increases in both Information Services and Risk Management Services over last year.
2014 Highlights
In June and September, we successfully launched TMX Quantum XA on Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture
Exchange. The award-winning TMX Quantum XA is a world-class trading platform that has dramatically improved
the efficiency and performance of our markets for all of our customers.
In October, TMX Atrium, our global marketplace infrastructure provider, acquired Strike Technologies, as part of its
initiative to launch a new cross border marketplace connectivity network utilizing industry best-practice
microwave technology. Also, in October, we announced the restructuring of our equities trading offering. The
proposed changes are aimed at further enhancing the Canadian trading landscape by introducing a domestic
2 |
2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED
trading model with superior trading economics for retail and institutional orders, offering effective solutions to
those who do not use speed-based trading strategies, and reducing market complexity.
Finally, in November we launched TSX Private Markets, a service to facilitate capital raising and the trading of
securities in the exempt market. TSX Private Markets allows us to extend the reach of our products and services to
include Canadian private companies and enables us to assist companies in the capital formation process
throughout each stage of their life cycle, from start-up to private issuer to public issuer.
Moving Forward
Across our broader industry landscape, we note fundamental shifts on two key fronts, technology and regulation.
The rapid advances in available technologies during this current period of fluid global and domestic regulatory
policy are reshaping the financial services industry. These are both fueling challenges and creating opportunities
for TMX Group.
As is true for the clients we serve, anticipating, understanding and adapting for the future are a crucial focus for
TMX Group. Today’s ceaseless pace of change requires that we be nimble and seize the opportunity to evolve. So
we have begun work with the goal of positioning TMX Group to derive optimal value from our vast portfolio of
assets. Simply owning these assets is not enough. Our key priority is to deploy our assets and capabilities to create
an organization whose value is greater than the sum of its parts.
2015 is an important year for TMX Group. In the short-term, we are taking a hard look at our operations and have
engaged in a rigorous review of our overall strategy. Our goals are to establish the pillars of our strategy going
forward and to optimize our ability to execute that strategy. Following that review, we will engage in relentless
prioritization in order to fully realize TMX Group’s vision of leadership in capital markets both here in Canada and
around the world.
Once our priorities are identified, we will proceed with surgical focus and precision on the initiatives that will drive
profitable growth. This is vital to our success and our ability in this regard will very much define TMX Group into
the future. We will also be pursuing long-term infrastructure initiatives in order to reduce costs and time-to-
market while increasing scale and flexibility.
This strategic review process is well underway and I will provide an update on our progress throughout 2015.
In closing, I would like to welcome Cheryl Graden, our new Senior Vice President, Group Head of Legal and
Business Affairs and Corporate Secretary, who joined the executive management team on March 2nd. Cheryl
joined TMX Group in 2004 and has taken on increasingly senior responsibilities over the years. Cheryl’s
predecessor, Sharon Pel, retired at the end of February. I would like to thank Sharon for her many contributions.
Sharon’s legal expertise, unwavering integrity and exceptional commitment to getting things done have helped
shape today’s TMX Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORSʼ REPORT
To the Shareholders of TMX Group Limited:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of TMX Group Limited (the
“Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the
consolidated income statements, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Managementʼs Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to
enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditorsʼ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion.

The audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “financial statements”),
comprise the accounts of TMX Group Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”), and the Company’s
interests in equity accounted investees.
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PREPARATION
(A) STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) interpretations, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(“IASB”).
The financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 3, 2015.
(B) BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items which are measured at fair
value:
•
Financial instruments (note 23);
Investment in privately-owned company (note 10);
Liabilities arising from share-based payment plans (note 22); and
Legal obligations associated with the restoration costs on the retirement of premises and equipment (note 19).

TMX GROUP LIMITED

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used in its valuation of assets and liabilities carried at fair value.
Fair values are categorized into: Level 1 – to the extent of the Company’s use of unadjusted quoted market prices; Level 2 – using
observable market information as inputs; and Level 3 – using unobservable market information.
(C) USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are
based on historical experience and other factors that management considers to be relevant. Actual results could differ from these
estimates and assumptions.
Judgements, estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in these financial statements have been made in the
following areas in the preparation of the financial statements:
•
Impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets – impairment tests are completed using the higher of fair value
less costs of disposal, where available, and value-in-use calculations, determined using management’s best estimates of future
cash flows, long-term growth rates and appropriate discount rates. Purchased intangibles are valued on acquisition using
established methodologies and amortized over their estimated useful economic lives, except in those cases where intangibles
are determined to have indefinite lives, where there is no foreseeable limit over which these intangibles would generate net
cash flows. These valuations and lives are based on management's best estimates of future performance and periods over
which value from the intangible assets will be derived (note 9);
Income taxes – the accounting for income taxes requires estimates to be made, such as the recoverability of deferred tax
assets. Where differences arise between estimated income tax provisions and final income tax liabilities, an adjustment is
made when the difference is identified (note 15);
•
•
• Measurement of defined benefit obligations for pensions, other post-retirement and post-employment benefits – the
valuations of the defined benefit assets and liabilities are based on actuarial assumptions made by management with advice
from the Company’s external actuary (note 17);
Provisions and contingencies – management judgement is required to assess whether provisions and/or contingencies should
be recognized or disclosed, and at what amount. Management bases its decisions on past experience and other factors it
considers to be relevant on a case by case basis (note 19); and
Share-based payments – The liabilities associated with the Company’s share-based payment plans are measured at fair value
using a recognized option pricing model based on management’s assumptions. Management’s assumptions are based on
historical share price movements, dividend policy and past experience for the Company (note 22).
•
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING POLICES ADOPTED
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless
otherwise indicated. Similarly, the accounting policies have been applied consistently by all the Company's entities.
(A) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company, and they are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to
the Company until the date that control ceases. Balances and transactions between the Company’s subsidiaries have been
eliminated on consolidation. On loss of control of a subsidiary, the Company derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the entity,
and any related non-controlling interests and equity. Any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement and any
retained interests measured at fair value at the date of loss of control.
Non-controlling interests are measured at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.
Changes in the Company's interest that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
Equity accounted investees are entities in which the Company has determined it has significant influence, but not control, over
the financial and operating policies. Investments in these entities are recognized initially at cost and subsequently accounted for
using the equity method of accounting.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
(B) FOREIGN CURRENCY
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Canadian
dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations for which the Canadian dollar is not the functional currency are
translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the relevant average
monthly exchange rates. The resulting unrealized exchange gain or loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) within equity.
Revenues earned, expenses incurred and capital assets purchased in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency
at the prevailing exchange rate on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at the period end rate or at the transaction rate when settled. Resulting unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains
and losses are recognized within technology services and other revenue in the consolidated income statement for the period.
(C) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognized when the service or
supply is provided, when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company, and when the revenue and the costs
incurred in respect of the transaction can be reliably measured.
(i)
Issuer services
Issuer services revenue includes revenue from initial and additional listings, annual sustaining services and other issuer
services. Initial and additional listings are recognized when the listing has occurred. Sustaining services for existing issuers are
billed during the first quarter of the year and the amount is recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the year on a
straight-line basis. Sustaining services for new issuers are billed when the issuers’ securities are officially listed and the amount
is recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the remainder of the year on a straight-line basis. Other issuer services
revenue is recognized as the services are provided.
(ii) Trading, clearing, depository and related
Trading and related revenues for cash markets (primarily through TSX, TSX Venture Exchange, Alpha and Shorcan) and for
derivatives markets (through MX and BOX) are recognized in the month in which the trades are executed or when the related
services are provided.
Revenues related to cash markets clearing, settlement and depository services through CDS are recognized as follows:
•
Clearing services include the reporting and confirmation of all trade types within the multilateral clearing and settlement
system referred to as CDSX. Clearing services also include the netting and novation of exchange trades through CDS’
Continuous Net Settlement (“CNS”) service prior to settlement. The related fees are recognized as follows:
Reporting fees are recognized when the trades are delivered to CDS,
Netting and novation fees are recognized when the trades are netted and novated, and
Other clearing related fees are recognized when services are performed.
Settlement revenue is recognized on the settlement date of the related transaction.
•
• Depository fees are charged for custody of securities, depository related activities and processing of entitlement and
corporate actions and are recognized when the services are performed.
• Under the CDS recognition orders granted by the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) and the Autorité des marchés
financiers (“AMF”), CDS is required to share any annual revenue increases on clearing and other core CDS Clearing services,
as compared to revenues for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2012, on a 50:50 basis with Participants. These
rebates are recorded as a reduction in revenue in the consolidated income statement in the period to which they relate.
International revenue consists of revenue generated through offering links as channels to Participants to effect cross
border transactions and custodial relationships with other international organizations. The related fees are recognized
when the services are performed.
•
Revenue related to derivatives clearing through CDCC is recognized on the settlement date of the related transaction. Fees
earned by CDCC for providing the clearing service for the REPO clearing services are included within trading, clearing,
depository and related revenue and are recognized on the novation date of the related transaction. Unrealized gains and
losses on derivative contracts are equal and offsetting and hence have no impact on the consolidated income statement.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
Energy trading, clearing, settlement and related revenues relating to NGX are recognized over the period the services are
provided. Unrealized gains and losses on open energy contracts are equal and offsetting and hence have no impact on the
consolidated income statement.
(iii) Information services
Real time market data revenue is recognized based on usage as reported by customers and vendors, less a provision for sales
adjustments from the same customers. The Company conducts periodic audits of the information provided and records
adjustments to revenues, if any, at the time that collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. BOX revenue from the
Options Price Reporting Authority (“OPRA”) is received quarterly based on its pro-rata share of industry trade (not contract)
volume. Estimates of OPRA’s quarterly revenue are made and accrued each month. Other information services revenue is
recorded and recognized as revenue when the services are provided.
(iv) Technology services and other
Revenue from technology services may contain multiple elements. These elements may include one or more of the following:
licensing, software, maintenance and support or professional services such as technology development. In a multiple element
arrangement, the Company allocates revenue to each element of the arrangement. Revenue from licensing as well as support
and maintenance services is recognized ratably over the term of the license or maintenance period. Revenue from professional
services is recognized based on the percentage of completion of the contract at the reporting date. The percentage of
completion is assessed based on actual hours incurred and estimated hours required to complete the contract. Revenue from
time and materials contracts is recognized as hours are incurred.
Technology services and other also includes revenue from the operation of the SEDAR, SEDI and NRD services through CDS,
which are based on the recovery of the cost of operating these services and the associated contracted management fee for
operating the services. These revenues are recognized when the services are performed.
Other revenue is recorded and recognized as revenue over the period the service is provided.
(v) REPO interest
As part of its REPO clearing service, CDCC earns interest income and incurs interest expense on all REPO transactions that
clear through CDCC. The interest income and interest expense are equal; however as CDCC does not have a legal right to offset
these amounts, they are recognized separately on the consolidated income statement. The interest income is earned, and
the interest expense incurred, over the term of the REPO agreements.
(D) FINANCE INCOME AND COSTS
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, and changes in the fair value of marketable securities. Finance costs
comprise interest expense on borrowings and finance leases. Any realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps are also included
within net finance costs in the consolidated income statement.
(E) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing
the net income attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the reporting period, adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive common shares arising from share options granted to
employees.
(F) SEGMENT REPORTING
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and
incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. In
addition, there are certain corporate costs and/or balances that are not allocated across the group and these are included within
the Corporate segment. All operating segments’ results are reviewed regularly by the Executive Management Committee
(“Executive Committee”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for
which discrete financial information is available.
(G) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less.
118 |
TMX GROUP LIMITED
10
2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
Cash and cash equivalents also include restricted cash. MX operates a separate regulatory division, responsible for the approval
of Participants and market regulation, which operates on a cost recovery basis. Restricted cash includes the surplus of this regulatory
division with an equivalent and off-setting amount is included in trade and other payables.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents contains tax withheld by CDS on entitlement payments made by CDS on behalf of CDS
Participants. The restricted cash and cash equivalents related to this withheld tax is ultimately under the control of CDS; however,
the amount is payable to various taxation authorities within a relatively short period of time and so is restricted from use in normal
operations. An equivalent and off-setting amount is included in the consolidated balance sheet under the caption Participants’
tax withholdings.
(H) MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Marketable securities consist of pooled fund investments in Canadian money market funds and short-term bond and mortgage
funds in addition to Canadian and US government-issued or government-backed fixed income securities, treasury bills and certain
term deposits. They are carried at their estimated fair values, with changes in fair value being recorded within finance income in
the consolidated income statement in the period in which they occur. Estimated fair values are determined based on quoted
market values or are based on observable market information.
(I) TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables generally have terms of 30 days. The recoverability of the trade receivables is assessed at each reporting date
and an allowance for doubtful accounts is deducted from the asset’s carrying value if the asset is not considered fully recoverable.
Any change in the allowance is recognized within general and administration costs in the consolidated income statement.
(J) BALANCES WITH CONTRACTING PARTIES, CLEARING MEMBERS AND PARTICIPANTS
(i) NGX clearing and settlement balances
•
NGX clearing and settlement balances on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet include the following:
•
Energy contracts receivable and energy contracts payable – These balances represent the amounts receivable and payable
where physical delivery of energy trading contracts has occurred and/or settlement amounts have been determined but
payments have not yet been made. There is no impact on the consolidated balance sheet as an equivalent amount is
recognized in both the assets and the liabilities.
Fair value of open energy contracts – These balances represent the fair value at the balance sheet date of the undelivered
physically settled energy trading contracts and the forward cash settled energy trading contracts. Fair value is determined
based on the difference between the trade price when the contract was entered into and the settlement price. The
settlement price is a price designated by NGX for each trading instrument in each trading hub at market close and is used
in conjunction with published market price bands. Depending on the term and type of instrument, some settlement
prices can be derived from actual trading data from NGX’s trading system, daily market surveys and/or industry reports.
There is no impact on the consolidated balance sheet as an equivalent amount is recognized in both the assets and the
liabilities.
(ii) CDCC clearing, settlement and Clearing Member balances
Balances with Clearing Members and Participants on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes balances with clearing
members of CDCC (“Clearing Members”) as follows:
• Daily settlements due from, and to, Clearing Members – These balances result from marking open futures positions to
market and settling option transactions each day. These amounts are required to be collected from and paid to Clearing
Members prior to the commencement of trading the next day. There is no impact on the consolidated balance sheet as
an equivalent amount is recognized in both assets and liabilities.
• Net amounts receivable/payable on open REPO agreements – OTC REPO agreements between buying and selling Clearing
Members are novated to CDCC whereby the rights and obligations of the Clearing Members under the REPO agreements
are cancelled and replaced by new agreements with CDCC. Once novation occurs, CDCC becomes the counterparty to
both the buying and selling Clearing Member. As a result, the contractual right to receive and return the principal amount
of the REPO as well as the contractual right to receive and pay interest on the REPO is thus transferred to CDCC.
These balances represent outstanding balances on open REPO agreements. Receivable and payable balances outstanding
with the same Clearing Member are offset when they are in the same currency and are to be settled on the same day,
as CDCC has a legally enforceable right to offset and the intention to net settle. The balances include both the original
principal amount of the REPO and the accrued interest, both of which are carried at amortized cost. As CDCC is the central
counterparty, an equivalent amount is recognized in both the Company’s assets and liabilities.
TMX GROUP LIMITED
| 119
11
2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
•
Clearing Members’ cash collateral – Cash collateral, either as margin against open positions or as part of the clearing
fund, are held by CDCC and are recognized as an asset and an equivalent and offsetting liability is recognized as these
amounts are ultimately owed to the Clearing Members. There is no impact on the consolidated balance sheet.
(iii) CDS clearing, settlement and Participant balances
Balances with Clearing Members and Participants on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet include the cash collateral
pledged and deposited with CDS and cash dividends, interest and other cash distributions awaiting distribution (“entitlements
and other funds”) on securities held under custody in the depository. The cash held is recognized as an asset and an equivalent
and offsetting liability is recognized as these amounts are ultimately owed to the Participants. There is no impact on the
consolidated balance sheet.
(K) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is recognized at cost on acquisition less any subsequent impairment in value.
The Company measures goodwill arising on a business combination as the fair value of the consideration transferred less the
fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date.
The Company elects on a transaction by transaction basis whether to measure non-controlling interests at fair value or at
their proportionate share of the recognized amount of the identifiable net assets acquired, at the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities as consideration, that the Company
incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
(ii) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognized at cost less accumulated amortization, where applicable, and any impairment in value. Cost
includes any expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of internally developed assets
includes the cost of materials and direct labour, and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working
condition for their intended use.
Costs incurred in research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new technical knowledge, are recognized in the
consolidated income statement as incurred. Costs incurred in development activities are capitalized when all of the following
criteria are met:
•
•
•
•
•
•
It is technically feasible to complete the work such that the asset will be available for use or sale,
The Company intends to complete the asset for use or sale,
The Company will be able to use the asset once completed,
The asset will be useful and is expected to generate future economic benefits for the Company,
The Company has adequate resources available to complete the development of and to use the asset, and
The Company is able to reliably measure the costs attributable to the asset during development.
Definite life intangible assets are amortized from the date of acquisition or, for internally developed intangible assets, from
the time the asset is available for use. Amortization is recognized in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful life of the asset. Residual values and the useful lives of the assets are reviewed at each year end,
and revised as necessary.
Amortization is provided over the following useful lives of definite life intangible assets:
Asset
Customer relationships
Technology
Open interest
Basis
Straight-line
Straight-line
Straight-line
Rate
17 – 34 years
1 – 6 years
6 months
Trade names, derivative products, regulatory designations, index license products and structured products are considered to
have indefinite lives as management believes that there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are
expected to generate net cash flows.
(L) IMPAIRMENT
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than deferred income tax assets and employee future benefit
assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication
exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, or that
120 |
TMX GROUP LIMITED

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
are not yet available for use, are tested for impairment at least annually even if there is no indication of impairment, and the
recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value-in-use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing value-in-
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that
cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing
use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”, or “CGU”). For
the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU, or the group
of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and reflects the lowest level at which that goodwill is
monitored for internal reporting purposes.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset, or its CGU, exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to
the CGUs, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis. Impairment losses are
recognized in the consolidated income statement.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. In respect of other non-financial assets, impairment losses recognized
in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment
loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,
net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(M) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(i) Non-derivative financial assets
Financial assets are recognized on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.
Financial assets are generally derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire, or when the
Company transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial assets to another party without retaining
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheet only when the
Company has a current legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company classifies its non-derivative financial assets in the following categories, depending on the purpose for which
they were acquired:
•
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are classified as held for trading or assets designated as fair value
through profit or loss by management and the Company manages the asset, and makes purchase and sale decisions,
based on its fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with changes recognized in the consolidated income
statement. Transaction costs thereon are expensed as incurred.
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any incremental directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent
to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any
impairment losses. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original transaction amounts
where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
•
• Available for sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or that are
not classified in any of the previous categories. These assets are measured at fair value, both initially and subsequently,
with changes in fair value, except for impairment losses and certain foreign exchange gains and losses, recognized in other
comprehensive income until the asset is sold. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statement
as incurred, as are foreign exchange gains and losses arising on monetary items. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising
on non-monetary items, such as an investment in an equity instrument, are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When an investment is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income is
reclassified to the consolidated income statement.

(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Company initially recognizes its financial liabilities on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are
discharged, cancelled or expired.
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Short-term payables
with no stated interest rate are measured at the original transaction amounts where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting
The Company enters into certain derivative financial instrument contracts, including interest rate swaps to partially hedge
interest rate exposure on its credit facilities and debentures (note 12), foreign currency forward contracts to partially hedge
foreign currency exposure on its US-denominated Commercial Paper (note 12), and total return swaps to partially hedge its
share price exposure on its cash-settled share-based compensation plans (note 22). Derivatives are recognized initially at fair
value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as
described below.
• Hedge accounting – Where hedge accounting can be applied, a hedge relationship is designated and documented at its
inception detailing the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk
management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used
to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the
hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective”
in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items over the life of the hedge. Hedge accounting is
discontinued prospectively when the hedging instrument is no longer effective as a hedge, the hedging instrument is
terminated or sold, or upon the sale or early termination of the hedged item. The cumulative gain or loss previously
recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to the consolidated income statement in the same period as
the hedged item affects net income.
•
Cash flow hedges – For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative,
net of taxes, is recognized in other comprehensive income while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the
consolidated income statement within net finance costs. Interest arising on the derivative is transferred from accumulated
other comprehensive income within equity to net settlement on interest rate swaps within net finance costs in the
consolidated income statement as it is incurred.
• Other derivatives – The Company holds total return swaps which, while providing a partial economic hedge against its
share price exposure on its cash-settled share-based compensation plans (note 22), are not designated as hedges for
accounting purposes. As such, these derivatives are recognized at fair value both initially and subsequently, with changes
in the fair value recognized in the consolidated income statement.
(N) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
(i) Defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans
The Company has registered pension plans with both a defined benefit tier and a defined contribution tier covering substantially
all employees, as well as retirement compensation arrangements ("RCA") for senior management. The costs of these programs
are being funded currently, except for the NGX RCA, and MX RCA, where a portion is guaranteed by a letter of guarantee.
The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating
the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, and that
benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rates
used are based on Canadian AA-rated corporate bond yields. The calculation is performed annually by an actuary based on
management’s best estimates using the projected benefit method pro-rated on service. If the calculation results in a surplus,
accounting standards require that a limit is placed on the amount of this surplus that can be recognized as an asset. The total
amount of defined benefit asset that can be recognized by the Company is limited to the present value of economic benefits
available by way of future refunds of plan surplus and/or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In the determination
of the economic benefit, minimum funding requirements resulting from the most recent actuarial funding valuations are also
taken into consideration. An economic benefit is considered available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the
plan or on settlement of the plan obligations. The service cost, which represents the benefits accruing to the employees,
along with the interest cost and the expected return on plan assets, is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
When the benefits of a plan are amended, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is
recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement.
The Company recognizes all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans immediately in other comprehensive
income.
For defined contribution plans, the expense is charged to the consolidated income statement as it is incurred.
(ii) Non-pension post-retirement and post-employment benefit plans
The Company also provides other post-retirement and post-employment benefits, such as supplementary medical and dental
coverage and a long-term disability plan, which are funded on a cash basis by the Company, and contributions from plan
members in some circumstances. The Company’s net obligation in respect of these plans is the amount of future benefit that
employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, discounted to determine its present value.
The discount rates used are based on Canadian AA-rated corporate bond yields. The calculation is performed annually by an
actuary based on management’s best estimates and it is performed using the projected benefit method pro-rated on service.
For post-retirement plans, any actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income in the
period in which they arise. For the long-term disability plan, actuarial gains and losses are recognized within compensation
and benefits expense in the consolidated income statement.
When the benefits of a plan are amended, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is
recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement.
(iii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense at the earlier of: (1) when the Company is committed demonstrably, without
realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to terminate employment before retirement, or (2) when the
Company recognizes costs related to a restructuring plan.
(iv) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations, such as wages, salaries and annual vacation entitlements, are measured on an
undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the Company’s annual short-term incentive plan if a present legal or constructive obligation to pay
an amount exists as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(v) Share-based payments
The Company has both equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation plans.
The Company accounts for all share-based plans to eligible employees that call for settlement by the issuance of equity
instruments using the fair value based method. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost attributable to options
to employees is measured at fair value at the grant date, using a recognized option pricing model, and amortized over the
vesting period. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options expected to vest.
Compensation cost attributable to employee awards that call for settlement in cash is measured at fair value at each reporting
date. Changes in fair value between the grant date and the measurement date are recognized in the consolidated income
statement over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in either current or non-current liabilities, depending on
the period in which the award is expected to be paid.
(O) LEASES
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating
leases. Payments made under operating leases and any lease incentives received are recognized in the consolidated income
statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The Company has entered into leases for equipment where substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred
to the Company, and these are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are capitalized on inception of the lease at the lower
of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments, and then amortized over their useful lives. Payments
made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and a reduction in the outstanding liability, to achieve
a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining liability.

(P) PROVISIONS
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be
estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is
material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized
as a finance cost. For onerous leases, the Company provides for the lower of the cost of meeting surplus property lease
commitments, net of any sub-lease income, or the costs or penalties it would incur on breaking its lease commitments.
(Q) INCOME TAX
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the consolidated income
statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current income tax is the expected income tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period using income
tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Company has a permanent establishment
and generates taxable income, and any adjustments to income tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of certain temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred income tax is measured at the income tax
rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
A deferred income tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against
which it can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Uncertain income tax positions are recognized in the financial statements using management’s best estimate of the amount
expected to be paid.
Income tax assets and liabilities are offset in the financial statements if there is a legally enforceable right to offset them and they
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities but the
Company intends to settle them on a net basis or where the income tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
(R) FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
A number of other new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year ending
December 31, 2014, and have not been applied in preparing the financial statements. These new and amended standards and
interpretations are required to be implemented for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, unless otherwise noted:
• Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits) – The amendments apply to
contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans. The objective of the amendments is to simplify the
accounting for contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service, for example, employee
contributions that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary. The amendments apply retrospectively for annual
periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014 with earlier application permitted.
• Annual Improvements cycle 2010-2012, cycle 2011-2013, and cycle 2012-2014 – These narrow-scope amendments apply to
a total of thirteen standards as part of the IASB’s annual improvements process. The IASB uses the annual improvements
process to make non-urgent but necessary amendments to IFRS. Most amendments will apply prospectively for annual periods
beginning on or after July 1, 2014 for the 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 cycles and on or after January 1, 2016 for the 2012-2014
cycle. Earlier application is permitted with special transitional requirements.
• Business combination accounting for interest in a joint operation (Amendments to IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements) – The
amendments require business combination accounting to be applied when a joint operation that constitutes a business is
acquired. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 with earlier application
permitted.
•
Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture (Amendments to IFRS 10, Consolidated
Financial Statements and IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures) – The amendments require full gain recognition
when the transfer of assets involving an associate or joint venture meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3, Business
Combinations. The amendments also introduce new accounting that involves neither a cost nor full step-up of certain retained
assets that are not businesses. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 with
earlier application permitted.

TMX GROUP LIMITED

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
•
•
•
Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization (Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment
and IAS 38, Intangible Assets) – The amendments explicitly prohibit the use of revenue-based methods of depreciation for
property, plant and equipment and introduce a rebuttable presumption that its use for intangible assets is inappropriate. The
amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 with earlier application permitted.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments – IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,
for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and new standards for hedge accounting.
Financial assets will be classified into one of two categories on initial recognition: amortized cost or fair value. For financial
liabilities measured at fair value under the fair value option, changes in fair value attributable to changes in credit risk will be
recognized in other comprehensive income, with the remainder of the change recognized in profit or loss. IFRS 9 will provide
for more hedging strategies to qualify for hedge accounting, introduce more judgment in assessing the effectiveness of a
hedging relationship, and include a single, forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model. The mandatory date for IFRS
9 is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted for annual periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2015.
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – The IASB and the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) jointly
issued converged accounting standards on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers; the IASB’s standard is
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The previous requirements of both IFRS and U.S. GAAP were different and
often resulted in different accounting for transactions that were economically similar. IFRS 15 and its U.S. GAAP equivalent,
contain a single revenue model that applies to contracts with customers with the exception of contracts for insurance, financial
instruments and leases. Under the model, there are two approaches to recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time.
The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue
is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have been introduced, which may affect the amount and/or timing
of revenue recognized. The mandatory effective date for IFRS 15 is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017
with either full retrospective application, retrospective with optional practical expedients or a modified prospective approach
with disclosure requirements.
The Company intends to adopt each of the above standards, as applicable to the Company, in the year in which they are effective.
The Company is reviewing these new standards and amendments to determine the potential impact on the Company’s financial
statements once they are adopted. At this time, the extent of the impact of adoption of these new standards and amendments
has not yet been determined.

Trade and other receivables are regularly reviewed for objective evidence of impairment.
Trade receivables that are more than three months past due are considered to be impaired, and an allowance, which varies
depending on the age of the receivable, is recorded within general and administration costs. Other specific trade receivables are
also provided against as considered necessary.
The aging of the trade receivables was as follows:

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
(C) IMPAIRMENT OF BOX AND OTHER ASSETS
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that any of its CGUs may be impaired,
and performs an impairment analysis where indicators are noted. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value-in-use.
The Company indirectly holds a 53.8% ownership interest in BOX which provides a market for the trading of U.S. equity options.
As at June 30, 2014, the Company determined that the recoverable amount of the BOX CGU was lower than its carrying amount.
BOX operates in a highly competitive market and has been challenged by increased competition and slower long-term growth
rates. As a result, management revised both short-term and long-term forecasts for the operations of BOX and has reassessed
the recoverable amount of the BOX CGU. In making its assessment of the recoverable amount of the BOX CGU, the Company
used a value in use calculation.
The value in use for the BOX CGU was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology based on management’s best
estimate of the forecasted cash flows for the business discounted at a pre-tax discount rate of 13.8% (December 31, 2013 –
15.7%). For the year ended December 31, 2014, the impact of the above calculation resulted in an impairment charge net of
deferred income taxes of $106.2 which was recognized in the consolidated income statement.
As at June 30, 2014, the impairment charge had the following impact to the net assets of the BOX CGU:
Cash
Other assets
Technology
Customer list
Regulatory designations and trade name
Goodwill

In addition to the BOX CGU at June 30, 2014, the Company determined that certain other assets had recoverable amounts that
were lower than their respective carrying amounts. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized
an impairment charge of $7.7 related to goodwill in the consolidated income statement.
(D) ANNUAL IMPAIRMENT TESTING
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, are tested for impairment at
least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, these assets (that cannot be tested individually) are grouped together into
CGUs. The carrying values of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets allocated to each CGU are as follows:

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
The recoverable amounts of the above CGUs were determined based on value-in-use calculations, using management’s
discounted cash flow projections over periods of 5 to 8 years, depending on the CGU, along with a terminal value. The terminal
value is the value attributed to the CGUs’ operations beyond the projected time period. Specifically for MX, a cash flow projection
period of 8 years was used, which is consistent with the original acquisition economics, and reflects the stage of its product life
cycle with significant long-term growth potential remaining beyond a 5-year forecast. The terminal value for the CGUs was
determined using an estimated long-term growth rate of 2% to 4.5%, which is based on the Company’s estimates of expected
future operating results, future business plans, economic conditions and a general outlook for the industry in which the CGU
operates.
In calculating the recoverable amount of these CGUs, a pre-tax discount rate is used. The pre-tax discount rate applied was 11.5%
to 15.8%, which was set considering the weighted average cost of capital of the Company and certain risk premiums, based on
management’s past experience.
These assumptions are subjective judgements based on the Company’s experience, knowledge of operations and knowledge of
the economic environment in which it operates. It is possible that, if future cash flow projections, long-term growth rates or pre-
tax discount rates are different to those used, the outcome of future impairment tests could result in a different outcome with
a CGU’s goodwill and/or intangible assets being impaired.
No impairment was identified as a result of the annual impairment tests performed for 2014.
Management has determined that the TSX, TSX Venture Exchange, MX and NGX CGUs may be subject to a reasonably possible
change to one or more of the key assumptions used to determine recoverable amount that could cause these CGUs to become
impaired. The following table sets out the change required in each key assumption used, on a stand-alone basis, that would cause
the recoverable amount of these CGUs to equal its carrying value.

The Company has the right, at its option, to redeem, in whole or in part, each of the Series A and Series B Debentures at any time
prior to their respective maturities and the Series C Debentures on any interest payment date. For the Series A and Series B

The debentures are carried at amortized cost and are measured using the effective interest rate method.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized interest expense on its Series A, Series B and Series C debentures
of $13.4, $11.4 and $7.4, respectively (2013 – $3.3, $2.8, and $1.7, respectively).

On May 30, 2014, the Company established a commercial paper program to offer potential investors up to $400 (or the equivalent
United States dollars (“USD”)) of unsecured short-term promissory notes (“Commercial Paper”) to be issued in various maturities
of no more than one year. The Commercial Paper bears interest rates based on the prevailing market conditions at the time of
issuance.
The Commercial Paper issued are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all other senior unsecured
obligations of the Company. The Commercial Paper has been assigned a rating of R-1 (low) with Stable trend by DBRS.
The Commercial Paper is carried at amortized cost and measured using the effective interest rate method.
The Company used the net cash proceeds from the Commercial Paper to pay down the TMX Group Limited credit facility
outstanding at that time.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued and repaid Commercial Paper with a cumulative amount of
$1,688.4 and $1,458.5, respectively. As at December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of Commercial Paper issued that remains

(C) TMX GROUP LIMITED FACILITIES
On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “TMX Group Limited credit facility”) with a syndicate
of lenders to provide 100% backstop to the commercial paper program as well as for general corporate purposes. The amount
available to be drawn under the TMX Group Limited credit facility is limited to $400 less the amount of Commercial Paper
outstanding at any point in time.
On May 30, 2014, the Company used amounts available under the TMX Group Limited credit facility to repay the outstanding
balances under the TMX Group Limited term facility and the TMX Group Limited revolving facility, and cancelled these facilities.
In addition, as a result of the repayment of the TMX Group Limited term facility and the TMX Group Limited revolving facility,
the Company discontinued the hedge accounting relationship between the former term facility and certain interest rate swaps
with a notional value of $250 (note 14).
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized $3.6 of aggregate costs in connection with establishing the
commercial paper program, entering into a new credit facility agreement and discontinuation of hedge accounting within the
credit facility refinancing expenses line item in the consolidated income statement.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company paid down $335.8 of the TMX Group Limited facilities mostly using the
net proceeds from the issuance of the Commercial Paper.
MX has an outstanding letter of guarantee for $0.6 issued against the TMX Group Limited credit facility. This letter of guarantee
has been issued as a guarantee to the trustee under the MX supplementary pension plan in respect of accrued future employee
benefits (note 17).
(D) CDS FACILITIES
CDS maintains unsecured operating demand loans totaling $6.0 to support short-term operating requirements. To support
processing and settlement activities of Participants, an unsecured overdraft facility and demand loan of $15.0 and an overnight
facility of US$5.5 are available. The borrowing rates for these facilities, if drawn, are the Canadian prime or the US base rate,
depending on the currency drawn.
On December 23, 2014, CDS cancelled its US$200.0, or Canadian dollar equivalent, secured standby liquidity facility. On the same
day, CDS then entered into a new secured standby liquidity facility of US$400.0, or Canadian dollar equivalent, that can be drawn

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
in either US or Canadian currency. This arrangement is available to support processing and settlement activities in the event of
a participant default. Borrowings under the secured facility are obtained by pledging or providing collateral pledged by Participants
primarily in the form of debt instruments issued or guaranteed by federal, provincial and/or municipal governments in Canada,
or US treasury instruments. Depending upon the currency drawn, the borrowing rate for the secured standby credit arrangement
is the US base rate or the Canadian prime rate.
In addition, CDS has signed agreements that would allow the Bank of Canada to provide emergency last-resort liquidity to CDS
at the discretion of the Bank of Canada. This liquidity facility is intended to provide end of day liquidity for payment obligations
arising from CDSX, and only in the event that CDS is unable to access liquidity from its standby liquidity facility or in the event
that the liquidity under such facilities is insufficient. Use of this facility would be on a fully collateralized basis.
(E) CDCC FACILITIES
CDCC maintains daylight liquidity facilities for a total of $600.0 to provide liquidity on the basis of collateral in the form of securities
that have been received by, or pledged to, CDCC. The daylight liquidity facilities must be cleared to zero at the end of each day.
CDCC maintains a syndicated revolving standby liquidity facility to provide end of day liquidity in the event that CDCC is unable
to clear the daylight liquidity facilities to zero. Advances under the facility are secured by collateral in the form of securities that
have been received by, or pledged to, CDCC.
On March 7, 2014, the daylight liquidity facilities had decreased from $700.0 to $600.0, and on the same day, the syndicated
revolving standby liquidity facility had increased from $200.0 to $300.0.
As at December 31, 2014, CDCC had drawn $2.2 to facilitate a failed REPO settlement. The amount is fully offset by liquid securities
included in cash and cash equivalents and was fully repaid subsequent to the reporting date.
A $12,264.0 repurchase facility is also maintained with a syndicate of six major Canadian chartered banks (the “syndicated REPO
facility”). This facility is comprised of $1,200.0 in committed liquidity and $11,064.0 in uncommitted liquidity and is in place to
provide end of day liquidity in the event that CDCC is unable to clear the daylight liquidity facilities to zero. The facility would
provide liquidity in exchange for securities that have been received by, or pledged to, CDCC.
In addition, CDCC has signed an agreement that would allow the Bank of Canada to provide emergency last-resort liquidity to
CDCC at the discretion of the Bank of Canada. This liquidity facility is intended to provide end of day liquidity only in the event
that CDCC is unable to access liquidity from the revolving standby liquidity facility and the syndicated REPO facility or in the event
that the liquidity under such facilities is insufficient. Use of this facility would be on a fully collateralized basis.
(F) NGX FACILITIES
NGX maintains a daylight liquidity facility with a major Canadian chartered bank in the amount of $300.0. This facility may be
used on settlement day to effect payments through the settlement accounts and it is intended to cover any intra-day shortfalls
due to timing of payments and receipts. In the event that amounts drawn on settlement day do not clear to zero by the end of
the day, NGX must repay the deficiency on the following business day.
In addition, a $20.0 overdraft facility is in place with the same major Canadian chartered bank. This facility is only available to
repay the daylight liquidity facility as discussed above on the business day following a settlement day.
NGX has deposited with BNY Mellon (the “Escrow Agent”) a letter of credit in the amount of US$100.0. Contracting parties are
entitled to file with the Escrow Agent in the event of a failure by NGX to deliver or take commodities, or a failure by NGX to pay
amounts owed. Where the claim by a Contracting Party is not resolved by NGX and is determined to have met the terms of the
Contracting Party’s Demand under the Deposit Agreement, the Escrow Agent will present and draw upon these letters of credit
to settle the claim.
(G) SHORCAN FACILITY
Shorcan maintains an overdraft facility with a major chartered bank to provide end of day liquidity to cover any shortfalls due to
timing of payments and receipts associated with the brokerage of trades. Use of this facility is secured by collateral in the form
of securities.

The Company has designated certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The Company’s objective is to eliminate the variability
of cash flows from interest rate payments due to be paid by the Company on the credit facilities that are based on the 1 month
variable B.A. interest rate and the Series C Debentures that are based on the 3 month B.A., through the use of interest rate swaps
over the term of the debt. Fair value is obtained from a pricing service based on a discounted cash flow model, which includes
a credit spread.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, interest rate swaps with a notional value of $200 matured (2013 – $153.5).
On May 30, 2014, as a result of the repayment of the TMX Group Limited facilities, the Company de-designated interest rate
swaps with a notional value of $250 used to hedge its interest rate exposure associated with the amounts drawn on the term
facilities (note 12). Of these interest rate swaps, a notional value of $350 remain economically hedged at December 31, 2014.
The Company continues to apply hedge accounting between the Series C debentures and certain interest rate swaps with a
notional value of $350.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has determined that certain hedge relationships were effective and
has recognized within other comprehensive income unrealized fair value losses on the swaps of $0.3 (2013 – effective and
unrealized gains of $1.4). In addition, the Company recognized $1.3 within net finance costs in the consolidated income statement,
140 |

representing the net amount paid on the interest rate swaps (2013 – paid $2.0). This amount was reclassified from other
comprehensive income to net income. The Company has recognized unrealized fair value gains of $0.1 within net finance costs
in the consolidated income statement for ineffective hedges (2013 – $nil).
(B) FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS
In 2014, the Company entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts to partially manage its exposure to foreign
exchange fluctuations associated with the Commercial Paper issued and denominated in USD (note 12). The foreign currency

Fair values have been determined by reference to quoted market prices or are based on observable market information.
As at December 31, 2014, the Company borrowed US$75.0 of Commercial Paper. Of this total, US$60.0 has been fully hedged
with the use of foreign exchange forward contracts, as the maturity dates of these contracts coincide with the maturity dates of
the underlying individual U.S. dollar denominated Commercial Paper. The remaining US$15.0 of Commercial Paper that is not
hedged with forward contracts, is partially hedged by the Company's assets denominated in US dollars.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, unrealized losses of $0.2 have been recognized within net finance costs in the
consolidated income statement.
(C) TOTAL RETURN SWAPS
The Company has entered into a series of total return swaps ("TRSs") which synthetically replicate the economics of the Company
purchasing the Company’s shares as a partial economic hedge to the share appreciation rights of the non-performance element
of restricted shared units ("RSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs") (note 22). The Company has also entered into a series of
TRSs as a full fair value hedge against the share price appreciation associated with the DSUs.
The Company marks to market the fair value of the TRSs as an adjustment to income, and simultaneously marks to market the
liability to holders of the units as an adjustment to income. Fair value is based on the 30-day volume weighted average price of
the Company’s common shares at the end of the reporting period, which is the same methodology as the RSUs and DSUs (note
22). The fair value of the TRSs and the obligation to unit holders are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. The contracts
are settled in cash upon maturity.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, unrealized losses and realized gains of $1.7 and $1.5, respectively have been reflected
in net income in the consolidated financial statements (2013 – unrealized gains and realized losses of $0.6 and $0.6, respectively).

Group Limited and TMX Group Inc. (2013 – $5.7). Recoverability of these assets is dependent upon the availability of future
taxable profits within these legal entities. The Company believes that these losses will be recoverable.
No deferred income tax assets have been recognized in respect of the following temporary differences:

At December 31, 2014, $14.8 of the above income tax losses will expire by 2034 (2013 – $13.2 by 2033). The remainder have no
expiry date under currently applicable income tax legislation. Deferred income tax assets have not been recognized in respect of
these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can utilize the tax
losses. However, the Company will continue to pursue tax planning strategies to utilize the tax losses where possible.
At December 31, 2014, deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences of $130.9 relating to investments in certain
domestic and foreign subsidiaries were not recognized as the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences, and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future (2013 – $130.0). Temporary
differences relating to the remaining domestic subsidiaries have not been recognized as the temporary difference can be settled
without tax consequences.

Assumptions regarding mortality rates are based on published statistics and mortality tables. The mortality tables used in 2014
for the pension, RCA and other post-retirement plans was the Canadian Pensioner Mortality Experience RPP2014 private sector
mortality table with projection scale CPM-B (2013 – Canadian Pensioner Mortality Experience RPP2014 private sector mortality
table with projection scale CPM-A).
The assumed health care cost trend rate at December 31, 2014 was 6.60% decreasing to 4.50% over 15 years (2013 – 6.75%
decreasing to 4.50% over 16 years).
Reasonably possible changes to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would impact the
accrued benefit obligations as follows:
50 bps decrease in the discount rate
25 bps decrease in inflation assumptions
1 year increase in mortality rates
100bps decrease in initial and ultimate trend rates

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
NOTE 22 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
On March 26, 2014, the Board approved changes to its long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) for certain employees and officers of
the Company. Beginning with grants in 2015 for 2014 performance, certain employees and officers of the Company will receive
a mix of LTIP awards consisting of share options, performance-based restricted share units (referred to as “PSUs”) and time-based
RSUs. The share option plan has been amended so that options would vest in quarters over 4 years and have a maximum term
of 10 years. The new PSU plan will be substantially the same as the current RSU plan and a new time-based RSU will replace the
existing RSU plan.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized compensation and benefits expense under the following share-
based payment arrangements:
•
Share option plan;
• Restricted share unit and deferred share unit plans; and
•
Employee share purchase plan.
(A) SHARE OPTION PLAN
Under the share option plan, the fair value of share options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following assumptions: a share price of $50.67 dollars (2013 – $55.15 dollars), and depending on
the tranche, dividend yield of between 3.0% and 3.1% (2013 – 3.3% and 3.4%); expected life of between 2 and 5 years (2013 –
2 and 4 years); an expected volatility of between 19.5% and 20.9% (2013 – 18.2% and 23.0%); risk-free interest rate of between
1.3% and 1.8% (2013 – 1.1% and 1.3%); and expected forfeiture rates of between 7.2% and 22.5% (2013 – 9.3% and 26.2%). The
assumptions are based on the Company’s historical share price movements and historical dividend policy and the expected life
is based on the Company's past experience. The resulting weighted average fair value calculated for share options granted in
2014 was $6.61 dollars (2013 – $5.87 dollars).
Options outstanding at December 31, 2014 will expire in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2024.
Movements in the number of share options outstanding are as follows:

TMX GROUP LIMITED

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
According to the terms of the Company’s plan, under no circumstances may any one person’s share options and all other share
compensation arrangements exceed 5% of the outstanding common shares issued of the Company. At December 31, 2014,
4,186,402 common shares of the Company remain reserved for issuance upon exercise of share options granted under the plan,
representing approximately 8% of the outstanding common shares of the Company.
(B) RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT (“RSU”) AND DEFERRED SHARE UNIT (“DSU”) PLANS
RSUs vest over a maximum of three years and are payable provided the employee is still employed by the Company at the end
of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the RSUs were granted. The amount of the award payable at
the end of this vesting period will be determined by the total shareholder return over the period. Total shareholder return
represents the appreciation in share price of the Company plus dividends paid on a common share of the Company, measured
at the time the RSUs vest.
The Company has a plan that gives officers who have not met their equity ownership requirements the opportunity to convert
all or part of their short-term incentive award into DSUs. In addition, members of the Board of Directors who do not waive their
compensation or direct that it be paid to their employer are granted DSUs annually and are also given the opportunity to convert
some of their annual remuneration into DSUs. These DSUs vest immediately. The amount of the award payable is based on the
number of units outstanding multiplied by the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares at the
date of the payout. The DSUs will only be paid out when the officer or the Board member retires or otherwise ceases to hold any
position with the Company or such of its subsidiaries as are designated from time to time.
Legacy RSU and DSU plans previously existed within the Company. In 2012, these plans were amended as part of the acquisition
by Maple, including to reference shareholder return to the shares of TMX Group Limited (rather than TMX Group Inc.) and to
provide for a fixed redemption value on the amended RSUs (“Fixed RSUs”) of $50.00 dollars per unit upon maturity.
The Company records its obligation for the RSUs, if any, over the service period in which the award is earned. The liability is
measured at fair value on the date of grant and at each subsequent reporting date. As at December 31, 2014, the total accrual
for the Company’s RSUs and DSUs was $25.5 (2013 – $32.2), which includes $6.1 in trade and other payables (2013 – $14.6) and
$19.4 in other non-current liabilities (2013 – $17.6). Included within the above accrual is $nil related to the Fixed RSUs (2013 –
$12.8).
Except for the Fixed RSUs, the maximum amount to be paid is not known until the awards become payable and will be based on
total shareholder return from the date of grant to the time of payout. The accrual is based on the 30-day volume weighted average
price of the Company’s common shares at the end of the reporting period. The Company has purchased total return swaps
(“TRSs”) to partially economically hedge against the impact of its share price fluctuations on the non-performance based portion
of the RSUs and the DSUs (note 23).
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized compensation and benefits expense and general and
administration expense of $4.9 and $2.1, respectively, in relation to its RSUs and DSUs (2013 – $9.2 and $1.5, respectively).
(C) EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
The Company has an employee share purchase plan for eligible employees of the Company. Under the employee share purchase
plan, contributions by the Company and by eligible employees will be used by the plan administrator, to make purchases of
common shares of the Company on the open market. Each eligible employee may contribute up to 10% of the employee's salary
to the employee share purchase plan. The Company will contribute to the plan administrator the funds required to purchase one
common share of the Company for each two common shares purchased on behalf of the eligible employee, up to a maximum
annual contribution of $2,500 dollars per year. The Company accounts for its contributions as compensation and benefits expense
when the amounts are contributed to the plan. For the year ended December 31, 2014, compensation and benefits expense
related to this plan was $1.9 (2013 – $1.6).

Fair value amounts disclosed represent current estimates that may change in the future due to market conditions or other factors.
Fair value represents the Company’s estimate of the amounts for which the Company could exchange the financial instruments
with willing third parties who were interested in acquiring the instruments. Where calculations are performed, these calculations
represent management’s best estimates based on a range of methodologies and assumptions; since they involve uncertainties,
the fair values may not be realized in an actual sale or settlement of the instruments.

There were no transfers during the periods between any of the levels.
(i) Marketable securities
The Company has designated its marketable securities as fair value through profit and loss (note 6). Fair values have been
determined by reference to quoted market prices.
(ii) Fair value of open energy contracts
The Company has classified its open energy contracts as fair value through profit and loss (note 8). Fair value is determined
based on the difference between the trade price when the contract was entered into and the settlement price. There is no
impact on the consolidated income statement.
(iii) Investment in privately-owned company
The Company holds an investment in a privately-owned company, whose shares are not traded on an active market. The fair
value of this investment was recorded at cost at acquisition. Management considers cost of the investment to approximate
its fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2014, there was no movement in the fair value (2013 – no movement).
(iv) Total return swaps (“TRSs”)
The Company has classified its series of TRSs as fair value through profit and loss (note 14). Fair value is based on the 30-
day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of
the TRSs and the obligation to unit holders are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet.
(v) Foreign currency forward contracts
The Company has classified its foreign currency forward contracts as fair value through profit and loss (note 14). Fair values
have been determined based on observable market information.

The Company marks to market the fair value of its certain of its interest rate swaps (note 14). Fair value is obtained from a
pricing service based on a discounted cash flow model, which includes a credit spread.
NOTE 24 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed to a number of financial risks as a result of its operations, which are discussed below. It seeks to monitor
and minimize adverse effects from these risks through its risk management policies and processes.
(A) CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of a borrower, counterparty, Clearing Member, or Participant to honour their
financial obligations. It arises principally from the Company’s clearing operations of NGX, CDCC and CDS, cash and cash equivalents,
restricted cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and the
brokerage operations of Shorcan and Shorcan Energy Brokers and the operations of Equity Transfer.
(i) Clearing and/or brokerage operations
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event that customers, in the case of Equity Transfer, Shorcan and Shorcan Energy
Brokers, Contracting Parties, in the case of NGX, Clearing Members, in the case of CDCC, or Participants, in the case of CDS,
fail to fulfil their financial obligations.
NGX
NGX is exposed to credit risk in the event that Contracting Parties default on their contractual obligations to NGX resulting
in the failure to settle on the amounts due. NGX is the central counterparty to each transaction (whether it relates to natural
gas, electricity or crude oil contracts) cleared through its clearing operations. By providing a clearing and settlement facility,
NGX is subject to the risk of a counterparty default. NGX manages this risk by applying standard rules and regulations, and
using a conservative margining regime based on industry best practices. This margining regime involves monitoring client
portfolios in real-time and requiring Contracting Parties to deposit liquid collateral in excess of those valuations. NGX conducts
market stress scenarios, liquidation simulations, and backtesting regularly to test the ongoing integrity of its clearing
operation. NGX also manages and mitigates these risks through a framework of policies, regulations and procedures.
NGX requires each Contracting Party to provide sufficient collateral, in the form of cash or letters of credit, in excess of the
outstanding credit exposure as determined by NGX in accordance with its margining methodology. The cash collateral
deposits and letters of credit are held by a major Canadian chartered bank. This collateral may be accessed by NGX in the
event of default by a Contracting Party (note 8). NGX measures total potential exposure for both credit and market risk for
each Contracting Party on a real-time basis as the aggregate of:
•
outstanding energy contracts receivable;
“Variation Margin,” comprised of the aggregate “mark to market” exposure for all forward purchase and sale contracts;
and
“Initial Margin,” an amount that estimates the potential Contracting Party loss in their portfolio under an adverse price
movement to a 99.7% confidence interval during a liquidation period.
•
•
CDCC
CDCC is exposed to credit risk in the event that Clearing Members fail to satisfy any of the contractual obligations as stipulated
within CDCC’s rules.
CDCC is exposed to the risk of default of its Clearing Members since it acts as the central counterparty for all transactions
carried out on MX’s markets and on certain OTC markets which are serviced by CDCC. It primarily supports the credit risk of
one or more counterparties defaulting on their financial obligations, in which case, the obligations of those counterparties
would become the responsibility of CDCC.
The first line of defence in CDCC's credit risk management process is the adoption of strict membership criteria which include
both financial and regulatory requirements. In addition, CDCC performs on-going monitoring of the financial viability of its
Clearing Members against the relevant criteria as a means of ensuring the on-going compliance of its Clearing Members. In
the event that a Clearing Member fails to continue to satisfy any of its membership criteria, CDCC has the right through its
rules, to impose various sanctions on such Clearing Members.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
CDS
One of CDCC’s principal risk management practices with regard to counterparty credit risk is the collection of risk-based
margin deposits in the form of cash, equities, liquid government securities and escrow receipts. Should a Clearing Member
fail to meet settlements and/or daily margin calls or otherwise not honour its obligations, margin deposits would be seized
and would then be available to apply against the costs incurred to liquidate the Clearing Member’s positions.
CDCC’s margining system is complemented by a Daily Capital Margin Monitoring (DCMM) process that evaluates the financial
strength of a Clearing Member against its margin requirements. CDCC monitors the margin requirement of a Clearing Member
as a percentage of its capital (net allowable assets). CDCC will make additional margin calls when the ratio of margin
requirement/net allowable assets exceeds 100%. The additional margin is equal to the excess of the ratio over 100% and is
meant to ensure that Clearing Member leverage in the clearing activities does not exceed the value of the firm.
An additional component to CDCC’s overall credit risk is its exposure in the default management process. CDCC holds $10.0
of its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities to cover the potential loss incurred due to Clearing Member
defaults (note 25). This $10.0 would be accessed in the event that a defaulting Clearing Members’ margin and clearing fund
deposits are insufficient to cover the loss incurred by CDCC. The $10.0 is allocated into two separate tranches. The first
tranche of $5.0 is intended to cover the loss resulting from the first defaulting Clearing Member. If the loss incurred is greater
than $5.0, and as such the first tranche is fully depleted, CDCC will fully replenish the first tranche using the second tranche
of $5.0. This second tranche is in place to ensure there is $5.0 available in the event of an additional Clearing Member default.
CDCC’s cash margin deposits and cash clearing fund deposits are held at the Bank of Canada thereby alleviating the credit
risk CDCC would face with deposits held at commercial banks. CDCC’s non-cash margin deposits and non-cash clearing fund
deposits are pledged to CDCC under irrevocable agreements and are held by approved depositories (note 8). This collateral
may be seized by CDCC in the event of default by a Clearing Member.
CDS is exposed to the risk of loss due to the failure of a Participant in CDS Clearing’s clearing and settlement services to
honour its financial obligations. To a lesser extent, CDS is exposed to credit risk through the performance of services in
advance of payment.
Through the clearing and settlement services operated by CDS Clearing, credit risk exposures are created. During the course
of each business day, transaction settlements can result in a net payment obligation of a Participant to CDS Clearing or the
obligation of CDS Clearing to pay a Participant. The potential failure of the Participant to meet its payment obligation to CDS
Clearing results in payment risk, a specific form of credit risk. Payment risk is a form of credit risk in securities settlement
whereby a seller will deliver securities and not receive payment, or that a buyer will make payment and not receive the
purchased securities. Payment risk is mitigated by delivery payment finality in CDSX, CDS’s multilateral clearing and settlement
system, as set out in the CDS Participant Rules.
In the settlement services offered by CDS Clearing, payment risk is transferred entirely from CDS Clearing to Participants who
accept this risk pursuant to the contractual rules for the settlement services. This transfer of payment risk occurs primarily
by means of Participants acting as extenders of credit to other Participants through lines of credit managed within the
settlement system or, alternatively, by means of risk-sharing arrangements whereby groups of Participants cross-guarantee
the payment obligations of other members of the group. Should a Participant be unable to meet its payment obligations to
CDS Clearing, these surviving Participants are required to make the payment. Payment risk is mitigated on behalf of
Participants through the enforcement of limits on the magnitude of payment obligations of each Participant and the
requirement of each Participant to collateralize their payment obligation. Both of these mitigants are enforced in real time
in the settlement system.
Through New York Link (“NYL”) and DTC Direct Link (“DDL”), credit risk exposures at CDS are created. During the course of
each business day, settlement transactions by the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”)/Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) can result in a net payment obligation from NSCC/DTC to CDS Clearing or the obligation of CDS Clearing
to make a payment to NSCC/DTC. As a corollary result, CDS has a legal right to receive the funds from sponsored Participants
in a debit position or has an obligation to pay the funds to sponsored Participants in a credit position.
The potential failure of the Participant to meet its payment obligation to CDS Clearing in the NYL or DDL services results in
a payment risk. To mitigate the risk of default, CDS Clearing has in place default risk mitigation mechanisms to minimize
losses to the surviving Participants as set out in the CDS Participant Rules. The process includes Participants posting collateral
with CDS Clearing and NSCC/DTC.
The risk exposure of CDS Clearing in these central counterparty services is mitigated through a daily mark-to-market of each
Participant’s obligations as well as risk-based collateral requirements calculated daily. These mitigants are intended to cover

the vast majority of market changes and are tested against actual price changes on a regular basis. This testing is supplemented
with analysis of the effects of extreme market conditions on a collateral valuation and market risk measurements. Should
the collateral of a defaulter in a central counterparty service be insufficient, either because the value of the collateral has
declined or the loss to be covered by the collateral exceeded the collateral requirement, the surviving Participants in the
service are required to cover any residual losses. Cash collateral is held by CDS Clearing at the Bank of Canada and NSCC/
DTC and non-cash collateral pledged by Participants under Participant Rules is held by CDS (note 8).
CDS may receive payment from securities issuers for entitlements, for example, maturity or interest payments, prior to the
date of payment to the Participants holding those securities. In rare circumstances, due to the timing of receipt of these
payments or due to market conditions, these funds may be held with a major Canadian chartered bank. As a result, CDS
could be exposed to the credit risk associated with the potential failure of the bank.
Shorcan and Shorcan Energy Brokers
Shorcan and Shorcan Energy Brokers are exposed to credit risk in the event that customers fail to settle on the contracted
settlement date. This risk is limited by their status as agents, in that they do not purchase or sell securities for their own
account. As agents, in the event of a failed trade, Shorcan or Shorcan Energy Brokers has the right to withdraw its normal
policy of anonymity and advise the two counterparties to settle directly.
Equity Transfer
Equity Transfer is exposed to credit risk on foreign exchange transactions processed for clients in the event that either the
client or the financial counterparty fails to settle contracts for which foreign exchange rates have moved unfavourably. The
risk of a financial counterparty failing to settle a transaction is considered remote as Equity Transfer deals only with reputable
financial institutions comprised of Canadian major chartered banks.
(ii) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents
The Company manages its exposure to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents
by holding the majority of its cash and cash equivalents with major Canadian chartered banks or in Government of Canada
treasury bills.
(iii) Marketable securities
The Company manages its exposure to credit risk arising from investments in marketable securities by holding investment
funds that actively manage credit risk or by holding high-grade individual fixed income securities or term deposits with credit
ratings of A/R1-low or better. In addition, when holding individual fixed income securities, the Company will limit its exposure
to any non-government security. The investment policy of the Company will only allow excess cash to be invested in money
market securities or fixed income securities.
The majority of the portfolio is held within bank deposits, notes and treasury bills. In addition, a portion of the portfolio is
held within a money market fund and a specific short-term bond and mortgage fund. The money market fund manages credit
risk by limiting its investments to government or government-guaranteed treasury bills, and high-grade corporate notes.
The short-term bond and mortgage fund manages credit risk by limiting its investments to high-quality Canadian corporate
bonds, government bonds and up to 40% of the fund's net assets in conventional first mortgages and mortgages guaranteed
under the National Housing Act (Canada). Corporate bonds held must have a minimum credit rating of BBB by DBRS at the
time of purchase. Mortgages may not comprise more than 40% of the portfolio and must be either multi-residential
conventional first mortgages or multi-residential government guaranteed mortgages.
(iv) Trade receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk resulting from uncollectable accounts is influenced by the individual characteristics
of its customers, many of whom are banks and financial institutions. The Company invoices its customers on a regular basis
and maintains a collections team to monitor customer accounts and minimize the amount of overdue receivables. There is
no concentration of credit risk arising from trade receivables from a single customer. In addition, customers that fail to
maintain their account in good standing risk loss of listing, trading, clearing, data access privileges and other services.
(v) Interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and total return swaps
The Company limits its exposure to counterparty credit risk on its interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts
and its total return swaps by contracting with major Canadian chartered banks.

TMX GROUP LIMITED

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(B) MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss due to changes in market prices and rates, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity
prices and equity prices.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on revenue and expenses where it invoices or procures in a foreign currency.
It is also exposed to foreign currency risk on cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables denominated
in foreign currencies, principally in US dollars. At December 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables, net
of current liabilities, excluding BOX, include US$28.5, which are exposed to changes in the US-Canadian dollar exchange rate
(2013 – US$23.2), £0.5, which are exposed to changes in the British Pound Sterling-Canadian dollar exchange rate, and €0.9,
which are exposed to changes in the Euro-Canadian dollar exchange rate. In addition, net assets related to BOX, Finexeo,
Razor and other operations are denominated in US dollars, Euros (“EUR”), Australian dollars (“AUD”) and British Pound
Sterling ("GBP") respectively, and the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on the Company’s share of these net assets
is included in other comprehensive income.
The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk on its US dollar advances on Commercial Paper. At December 31, 2014,
advances on Commercial Paper include US$75.0, which is exposed to changes in the US-Canadian dollar exchange rate (2013
– US$nil). The foreign currency risk related to the Commercial Paper is partially managed by US dollar foreign currency
exchange forward contracts (note 14).
NGX offers contracts denominated in both Canadian and US dollars and accepts collateral in either currency. Settlement
always occurs in the contracted currency. Foreign exchange risk could be created if there is a default and the currency of the
required payment obligation is different from the currency of the collateral supporting that payment obligation. This risk is
mitigated by converting the foreign denominated collateral at current foreign exchange rates and then adjusting collateral
positions to mitigate any foreign exchange risk present.
Settlements in the clearing and settlement services offered by CDS occur in both Canadian and US dollars. Foreign exchange
risk could be created if there is a default and the currency of the payment obligation is different from the currency of the
collateral supporting that payment obligation. This risk is mitigated by discounting the collateral value of securities where
these mismatches occur.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its marketable securities, its debentures and Commercial Paper.
External investment fund managers have been engaged by the Company to manage the asset mix and the risks associated
with the majority of its marketable securities. At December 31, 2014, the Company held $59.7 in marketable securities (2013
– $67.0); of which 48.4% were held in a money market fund , 48.2% were held in a short-term bond and mortgage fund,
0.8% were held in treasury bills, and 2.6% were held in other term deposits (2013 – 39.8%, 38.7%, 17.2%, and 4.3%,
respectively).
The Company has $350.0 of Series C Debentures and $234.0 of Commercial Paper (note 12). The Company has entered into
a series of interest rate swap agreements to fully manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its Series C Debentures
and to partially manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its Commercial Paper (note 14).
(iii) Equity price risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk arising from its RSUs and DSUs, as the Company’s obligation under these
arrangements are partly based on the price of the Company’s shares. The Company has entered into TRSs as a partial fair
value hedge to the share appreciation rights of these RSUs and DSUs.
(iv) Other market price risk
The Company is exposed to market risk factors from the activities of NGX, CDCC, CDS, Shorcan, and Shorcan Energy Brokers,
if a customer, Contracting Party, Clearing Member or Participant, as the case may be, fails to take or deliver either securities,
energy products or derivative products on the contracted settlement date where the contracted price is less favourable than
the current market price.
NGX
NGX is exposed to market price risk as a result of its role as a central counterparty to natural gas, electricity and crude oil
transactions. NGX requires each Contracting Party to provide sufficient collateral, in the form of cash or letters of credit, in
TMX GROUP LIMITED
| 157
49
2014 ANNUAL REPORT TMX GROUP LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2014
excess of the outstanding credit exposure which includes mark-to-market exposure of all open trade positions. In addition,
NGX collects additional risk-based margin collateral that is representative of the liquidating value, within a defined confidence
interval and liquidation period under normal market conditions, that NGX would be exposed to in the default management
process.
CDCC
CDCC is exposed to market risk in the event of a Clearing Member default and has risk management strategies in place to
mitigate the potential to loss due to changing market conditions.
The primary mitigation to the market risk that CDCC would be facing further to a Clearing Member default is the collection
of margin fund deposits that aim to cover any liabilities that a Clearing Member may incur by using CDCC’s CCP services.
Replacement Cost risk is managed by ensuring that the mark-to-market exposure of all open trade positions are covered
daily. In addition, CDCC collects additional risk-based margin collateral that is representative of the worst-case liquidating
value, under normal market conditions, that CDCC would be exposed to in the default management process.
CDCC also maintains a clearing fund of deposits of cash and securities from all Clearing Members. The aggregate level of
clearing funds required from all Clearing Members must cover the worst loss that CDCC could face if one counterparty were
to fail under various extreme but plausible market conditions. Each Clearing Member contributes to the clearing fund in
proportion to the residual risk that it brings to the clearing system. If, by a Clearing Member’s default, further funding is
necessary to complete a liquidation, CDCC has the right to require other Clearing Members to contribute additional amounts
equal to their previous contribution to the clearing fund.
CDS
CDS is exposed to market risk as a result of its role as central counterparty in its continuous net settlement and clearing
services. In these services, CDS is obligated to fulfill security delivery and receipt and payment obligations to participants
who are members of those services. The potential for security prices to change between trade execution and settlement
creates replacement cost risk, a form of market risk. Should a participant counterparty to a transaction be ultimately unable
to meet its security receipt and payment obligation or security delivery, the surviving counterparty can be exposed to
replacement cost risk by having to execute a replacement transaction at a less favourable price.
Replacement cost risk exposure of CDS in these central counterparty services is mitigated through a daily mark-to-market
of each participant’s obligations as well as risk-based collateral requirements calculated daily. These mitigants are intended
to cover the vast majority of market changes and are tested against actual price changes on a regular basis. This testing is
supplemented with analysis of the effects of extreme market conditions on collateral valuation and market risk
measurements. Should the collateral of a defaulter in a central counterparty service be insufficient, either because the value
of the collateral has declined or the loss to be covered by the collateral exceeded the collateral requirement, the surviving
participants in the service are required to cover any residual losses.
Settlements in the clearing and settlement services occur in both Canadian and U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange risk is created
when the currency of the payment obligation is different from the valuation currency of the collateral supporting that payment
obligation. This risk is mitigated by discounting the collateral value of securities where these mismatches occur.
Shorcan and Shorcan Energy Brokers
Shorcan and Shorcan Energy Brokers’ risk is limited by their status as an agent, in that they do not purchase or sell securities
or commodities for their own account, the short period of time between trade date and settlement date, and the defaulting
customer’s liability for any difference between the amounts received upon sale of, and the amount paid to acquire, the
securities or commodities.
Other
The Company is also exposed to other market price risk on a portion of its sustaining services revenue, which is based on
quoted market values of listed issuers as at December 31 of the previous year.

Liquidity risk is the risk of loss due to the inability of the Company to meet its, or of the Company's borrowers, counterparties,
Clearing Members, or Participants to meet their obligations in a timely manner or at reasonable prices. The Company manages
liquidity risk through the management of its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, all of which are held in short-
term instruments, and its debentures, credit and liquidity facilities and Commercial Paper (note 12) and capital (note 25).
The contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities are as follows:

Debentures
*The above financial liabilities are covered by assets that are restricted from use in the ordinary course of business.
(i) Balances with Clearing Members and Participants
The margin deposits of CDCC and CDS and clearing fund margins of CDCC are held in liquid instruments. Cash margin deposits
and cash clearing fund deposits from CDCC’s Clearing Members, which are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet,
are held by CDCC with the Bank of Canada. Non-cash margin deposits and non-cash clearing fund deposits, which are not

recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, pledged to CDCC under irrevocable agreements are in government securities
and other securities and are held with approved depositories.
CDS's NYL service does not apply strict limits to a Participant's end-of-day payment obligation, creating the potential for
unlimited liquidity risk exposure if a user of the service were to default on its obligation. CDS manages this risk through
active monitoring of payment obligations and a committed liquidity facility which covers the vast majority of potential
Participant default scenarios. Residual liquidity risk in excess of CDS’s liquidity facility is transferred to surviving Participant
users of the New York Link service and as a result CDS’s liquidity risk exposure is limited to a maximum of its available liquidity
facility.
Cash collateral from CDS’s Participants, which is recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, is held by CDS at the Bank of
Canada and NSCC/DTC. Non-cash collateral, which is not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, pledged by
Participants under Participant Rules is held by CDS in liquid government and fixed income securities.
(ii) Fair value of open energy contracts and energy contracts payable
NGX requires each Contracting Party to provide sufficient collateral, in the form of cash or letters of credit, to exceed its
outstanding credit exposure, including contract replacement costs at current market prices, as determined by NGX in
accordance with its margining methodology. The cash collateral deposits and letters of credit are held by a major Canadian
chartered bank. NGX also ensures that it maintains sufficient liquid resources to cover twelve months of operating costs as
well as the daily settlement requirement of its largest single participant under a stressed market scenario.
(iii) Debentures, credit and liquidity facilities and Commercial Paper
In response to the liquidity risk that NGX, CDCC and CDS are exposed to through their clearing operations, they have arranged
various liquidity facilities (note 12).
In response to liquidity risk that the Company is exposed to through its capital structure, it has arranged various liquidity
and credit facilities, Commercial Paper and debentures as a source of financing (note 12). If, as a result of not meeting its
covenants under the trust indentures, the terms of the commercial paper program or the credit facilities, the Company may
be required to seek potentially less favourable sources of financing. The Company is exposed to specific liquidity risk should
it be unable to borrow under a new Commercial Paper issuance in order to pay for Commercial Paper that is coming due
because of a lack of liquidity or demand for the Company's Commercial Paper in the market. To mitigate this risk, the Company
has entered into a credit agreement on that provides 100% coverage or backstop to the commercial paper program (note
12).
(iv) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments.
(v) Marketable securities
The investment policy of the Company will only allow excess cash to be invested within money market securities or fixed
income securities. The majority of the portfolio is held within bank deposits, notes and treasury bills. In addition, a portfolio
is held within a money market fund and a specific short-term bond and mortgage fund. The money market fund limits its
investments to government or government-guaranteed treasury bills, and high-grade corporate notes. The short-term bond
and mortgage fund limits its investments to high-quality Canadian corporate bonds, government bonds and up to 40% of
the fund's net assets in conventional first mortgages and mortgages guaranteed under the National Housing Act (Canada).
Fund units can be redeemed on any day that Canadian banks are open for business. Funds will be received the day following
the redemption.
Individual fixed income securities and term deposits held will have credit ratings of A/R1-low or better and are highly liquid.
Marketable securities held at CDS are comprised of Canadian and U.S. government-issued or government backed fixed income
securities with maturities of less than one year.
