Deutsche Börse AG / Quarter Results 04.11.2008 Release of a Adhoc News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deutsche Börse AG achieved its second strongest quarter ever in terms of sales revenue and EBITA in Q3/2008. Sales revenue rose by 10 percent to 616.1 million (Q3/2007: 561.9 million), reflecting both stable revenue performance in the third quarter in the Groups two largest business areas, Eurex and Clearstream, and the consolidation of the International Securities Exchange (ISE). The Company accrued a further 55.7 million (Q3/2007: 59.2 million) in net interest income from banking business. Total costs amounted to 311.2 million in the third quarter, 13 percent up on the prior year (Q3/2007: 274.5 million) due to the consolidation of ISE. Excluding ISE, costs would have decreased 2 percent. EBITA in the third quarter increased by 5 percent to 385.0 million (Q3/2007: 368.3 million). The net financial result of the Group in the third quarter was negatively impacted by a currency effect of around 7 million related to the ISE financing. Based on the average number of 190.7 million shares outstanding, earnings per share in Q3/2008 rose by 10 percent to 1.35 (Q3/2007: 1.23 based on 194.1 million shares outstanding). Based on the excellent development of the business in the first nine months, the strong volume development in October, the strict cost management and the steps initiated to lower the effective Group tax rate, the Company confirms its expectation to achieve a new record result for the full year 2008.
