13 Disclaimer Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements regarding Virtu Financial, Inc.’s (“Virtu’s”, the “Company’s” or “our”) business that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, and if the Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties, some or all of which are not predictable or within Virtu’s control, that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Those risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the possible effects of the economic conditions worldwide resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental and other responses thereto; fluctuations in trading volume and volatilities in the markets in which we operate; the ability of our trading counterparties and various clearing houses to perform their obligations to us; the performance and reliability of our customized trading platform; the risk of material trading losses from our market making activities; swings in valuations in securities or other instruments in which we hold positions; increasing competition and consolidation in our industry; the risk that cash flow from our operations and other available sources of liquidity will not be sufficient to fund our various ongoing obligations, including operating expenses, short term funding requirements, margin requirements, capital expenditures, debt service and dividend payments; regulatory and legal uncertainties and potential changes associated with our industry, particularly in light of increased attention from media, regulators and lawmakers to market structure and related issues including but not limited to the retail trading environment, wholesale market making and off exchange trading more generally and payment for order flow arrangements; potential adverse results from legal or regulatory proceedings; our ability to remain technologically competitive and to ensure that the technology we utilize is not vulnerable to security risks, hacking and cyber-attacks; risks associated with third party software and technology infrastructure. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements, see Virtu’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to Virtu’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. GAAP and Non-GAAP Results This presentation includes or may include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EPS, Normalized Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Net Trading Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Trading Capital, Invested Capital, Adjusted Operating Expense and Adjusted Compensation Expense. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may use similarly titled non‐GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non‐GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non‐GAAP measures, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Non‐GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for our results as reported under GAAP. A reconciliation of non‐GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP is included at the end of this presentation. |

Ranges shown for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to reflect actual performance and therefore no quantitative reconciliation of illustrative daily or full year ANTI is provided in accordance with applicable exception under Regulation S-K. Assumes 251 trading days in a year. 2. Adjusted EPS calculated as illustrative Full Year ANTI specified in corresponding row less “normalized” FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation (see below) less FY 2022 Adjusted Communications & Data Processing expense ($220M) less FY 2022 Adjusted Operations & Administrative expense ($74M) less FY 2022 Depreciation & Amortization ($66M) less FY 2022 Financing Interest expense ($92M) less Normalized Provision for Income Taxes (see below) divided by 4Q 2022 Weighted Average Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding (173M). • “Normalized” FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation is equal to FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation ($315M) unless the resulting compensation ratio of $315M divided by the illustrative Full Year ANTI specified in corresponding row is below 20% or above 25%, in which instances the “Normalized” FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation is equal to the illustrative Full Year ANTI specified in corresponding row multiplied by 20% or 25%, respectively. • Normalized Provision for Income Taxes equal to illustrative Full Year ANTI specified in corresponding row less “normalized” FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation less FY 2022 Adjusted Communications & Data Processing expense less FY 2022 Adjusted Operations & Administrative expense less FY 2022 Depreciation & Amortization less FY 2022 Financing Interest expense multiplied by normalized income tax rate of 24%. • Adjusted Cash Compensation, Adjusted Communications & Data Processing expense, and Adjusted Operations & Administrative expense reflect non-GAAP measures. Please refer to slides at the end of this presentation for reconciliation to the equivalent GAAP measure. Prior period reconciliations available https://ir.virtu.com/financials-and-filings/quarterly-results/default.aspx. 3. Ranges shown for illustrative purposes only and reflect Virtu management estimates and therefore no quantitative reconciliation of illustrative target available for buybacks is provided in accordance with applicable exception under Regulation S-K. 4. “Adj. EPS after 3-Year Buyback Period” is calculated using the same methodology as Adjusted EPS (see note 2 above) but uses 4Q 2022 Weighted Average Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding less net buybacks after 3-year period for each corresponding row. • Net buybacks after 3-year period for each corresponding row is calculated as the midpoint of “Target Available for Buybacks Annually” in corresponding row divided by average VIRT closing share price over the 5-day period from 3/6/23 to 3/10/23 ($17.82) less 2 million shares of assumed annual issuances multiplied by three years. 5.

Calculated as “normalized” FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation (see below) plus FY 2022 Adjusted Communications & Data Processing expense ($220M) plus FY 2022 Adjusted Operations & Administrative expense ($74M) plus FY 2022 Depreciation & Amortization ($66M) plus FY 2022 Financing Interest expense ($92M) plus Normalized Provision for Income Taxes (see below). • “Normalized” FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation is equal to FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation ($315M) unless the resulting compensation ratio of $315M divided by “2018-2022 Avg. Pro Forma ANTI (Virtu+ITG, excl. Growth Initiatives)” is below 20% or above 25%, in which instances the “Normalized” FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation is equal to “2018-2022 Avg. Pro Forma ANTI (Virtu+ITG, excl. Growth Initiatives)” multiplied by 20% or 25%, respectively. • Normalized Provision for Income Taxes equal to “2018-2022 Avg. Pro Forma ANTI (Virtu+ITG, excl. Growth Initiatives)” less “normalized” FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation less FY 2022 Adjusted Communications & Data Processing expense less FY 2022 Adjusted Operations & Administrative expense less FY 2022 Depreciation & Amortization less FY 2022 Financing Interest expense multiplied by normalized income tax rate of 24%. • Adjusted Cash Compensation, Adjusted Communications & Data Processing expense, and Adjusted Operations & Administrative expense reflect non-GAAP measures.

Pro Forma ANTI (Virtu+ITG, excl. Growth Initiatives)” less “FY 2022 Adj. OpEx Base, Financing Interest, and Normalized Taxes” divided by “2018-2022 Average Share Count”. 6. Calculated as the difference between: • “Normalized” FY 2022 Adjusted Cash Compensation and Normalized Provision for Income Taxes (see note 3 above), calculated using “2018-2022 Avg. Pro Forma ANTI (Virtu+ITG, excl.
