Important notice
Forward-looking statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this
presentation that address activities, events or developments that Markit Ltd. (“Markit” or the “Company”) expects, believes or
anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-
looking statements contained in this presentation may include the expectations of management regarding plans, strategies,
objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of the Company. Markit’s estimates and forward-looking statements are
mainly based on its current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect its businesses and
operations. Although Markit believes that these estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable
assumptions, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to Markit.
When used in this presentation, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “will” or other similar words are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond the control of Markit, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or
expressed by the forward-looking statements. Further information on such assumptions, risks and uncertainties is available in
Markit’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Markit’s SEC filings are available at
www.sec.gov or on the investor relations section of its website, www.markit.com. Markit undertakes no obligation and does not
intend to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this presentation.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this
presentation. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
Non-IFRS financial measures This presentation also includes measures defined by the SEC as non-IFRS financial measures. Markit believes that these non-
IFRS measures can provide useful supplemental information to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties
regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations when read in conjunction with
the company’s reported results. Definitions and reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to most directly comparable IFRS
financial measures are available in the Appendix of this presentation and in Markit’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.

─ $350m share repurchase (~14m shares) completed June 10th, 2015
─ $150m remainder of authorised share buyback programme expected to be utilised by year end

(million)
Expected
Dilution refers to dilutive impact of employee options and restricted stock.
Q2 and Q3 share repurchase totals refer to June 10, 2015 share repurchase of approximately $350m. Q4 share repurchase total is time-weighted and assumes utilisation of remaining
$150m authorisation in Q4 2015 (subject to conditions at the time) and share price of $26.30.
Q3 and Q4 dilution assumes average share price of $26.30 and option exercise of over 3m shares in each quarter.
2016 assumes a flat average share price, the exercise of 12.6m options and that all proceeds from exercise are utilised to repurchase shares.

Shares outstanding
Summary
─ Average share price is a key driver of the
dilution calculation, an indicative estimate of
the impact of share price fluctuations on
diluted share count is shown in the table
─ Weighted average number of shares, diluted
is calculated in accordance with IFRS
─ The majority of options with a strike price
below $26.70 vested on IPO
─ Options with a strike price at $26.70 largely
vest in tranches over a 5 year period from
IPO date or January 2014
─ Option exercises will generate substantial
cash inflows as well as cash tax benefits

─Half of Rates / Credit revenue derives from less liquid products and markets which

Potential mitigants to financial impact:
─Further growth in Loans, Equities, and FX
─New services such as FX Options
─Trade volume increases due to electronic trading

Definitions Revenue growth We measure revenue growth in terms of organic revenue growth, acquisition related revenue growth, foreign currency impact on revenue growth and constant currency revenue
growth. We define these components as follows:
Organic – Revenue growth from continuing operations from factors other than acquisitions and foreign currency fluctuations. We derive organic revenue growth from the
development of new products and services, increased penetration of existing products and services to new and existing customers, price changes for our products and services and
market driven factors such as increased trading volumes or changes in customer assets under management.
Acquisition related – Revenue growth from acquired businesses through the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the acquisition was completed. This growth
results from our strategy of making targeted acquisitions that facilitate growth by complementing our existing products and services and addressing market opportunities.
Foreign currency – The impact on revenue growth resulting from the difference between current revenue at current exchange rates and current revenue at the corresponding prior
period exchange rates.
Constant currency – Total revenue growth, excluding the impact of exchange rate movements from the prior period to the current period. This is equal to the combination of organic
and acquisition related revenue growth, as described above.
Revenue by type
Revenue by type is how we classify the income recognized from the sale of our products and services into three groups as defined below:
Recurring fixed revenue – Revenue generated from contracts specifying a fixed fee for services delivered over the life of the contract. The fixed fee is typically paid annually,
semiannually or quarterly in advance. These contracts are typically subscription contracts where the revenue is recognized across the life of the contract. The initial term of these
contracts can range from one to five years and usually includes auto-renewal clauses.
Recurring variable revenue – Revenue derived from contracts that specify a fee for services which is typically not fixed. The variable fee is typically paid monthly in arrears.
Recurring variable revenue is based on, among other factors, the number of trades processed, assets under management or the number of positions we value. Many of these
contracts do not have a maturity date while the remainder have an initial term ranging from one to five years.
Non-recurring revenue – Revenue that relates to certain software license sales and the associated consulting revenue.
Other Non-IFRS Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit for the period from continuing operations before income taxes, net finance costs, depreciation and amortisation on fixed assets and intangible
assets (including acquisition related intangible assets), acquisition related items, exceptional items, share based compensation and related items, net other gains or losses, including
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to joint ventures and excluding Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interests.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue, excluding revenue attributable to non-controlling interests.
Adjusted Earnings is defined as profit for the period from continuing operations before amortisation of acquired intangibles, acquisition related items, exceptional items, share based
compensation and related items, net other gains or losses and unwind of discount, less the tax effect of these adjustments and excluding Adjusted Earnings attributable to non-
controlling interests.
Adjusted EPS diluted is defined as Adjusted Earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares used to compute earnings per share, diluted.
