Operating Income Increases 25% to $166 Million ($133 Million in Q108)
NEW YORK, May 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. ("NASDAQ
OMX(r)") (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today reported net income of $94 million, or $0.44 per
diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009 compared with net income of $121
million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2008, and with net
income of $35 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of
2008.
For comparison purposes, results for the first quarter of 2009 and the fourth
quarter of 2008 are presented on a non-GAAP basis and exclude merger expenses
and certain other non-recurring items. Results for the first quarter of 2008
are presented on a pro forma non-GAAP basis that reflect the financial results
of NASDAQ, OMX, and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange as if they were a combined
company for the periods presented and exclude merger expenses, net gains from
foreign currency contracts and certain other non-recurring items. A complete
reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP and to pro forma non-GAAP results is
provided as an attachment.
For the first quarter of 2009, net income on a non-GAAP basis was $102 million,
or $0.48 per diluted share, an increase of 10% when compared to pro forma
non-GAAP net income of $93 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the first
quarter of 2008, and a decrease of 7% when compared to non-GAAP net income of
$110 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008.
Items excluded from first quarter 2009 non-GAAP results are:
* $8 million in pre-tax merger-related expenses;
* $4 million in pre-tax gains related to the early extinguishment
of debt;
* $3 million in pre-tax expenses primarily associated with workforce
reductions; and
* $2 million related to a loss on the sale of the Iceland Broker
Services business.
"We are particularly proud of the results we delivered during the quarter,"
commented Bob Greifeld, NASDAQ OMX's Chief Executive Officer. "Despite a
challenging environment we were able to achieve year-over-year profitability
growth through the strength of our diversified business model and continued
focus on operational efficiency. Our objective is to drive growth through
investments in new opportunities and through innovation and technology advances
in our core businesses."
Recent Highlights
* Reached new market share highs in the trading of U.S. equity
options contracts. The combined market share of NASDAQ OMX PHLX
and The NASDAQ Options Market averaged 20% during the first
quarter of 2009, up from 15% in the first quarter of 2008. Total
volume traded on these markets grew 26% in the first quarter of
2009 when compared to the same period last year.
* Launched NASDAQ Basic, a data product that provides customers
essential real-time quote and trading information for all U.S.
exchange-listed securities in a flexible manner that can
significantly lower data costs. NASDAQ Basic, which can be used
as a low cost alternative to Level 1, is based on trading on
The NASDAQ Stock Market, the most liquid market for U.S.-listed
equity securities. Global Data Products also launched
Pathfinders, an innovative analytical product unique to NASDAQ OMX
that tracks and provides indications of collective trading
behavior by leading market participants in liquid U.S. equities.
* Expanded the trade offering of NASDAQ OMX Nordic to include
equities listed in Norway. This new offering is designed to
provide lower trading costs and other benefits for customers
seeking to trade all Nordic equities on one platform.
* Captured a total of 20 new listings during the first quarter of
2009, including 16 on The NASDAQ Stock Market and four on the
exchanges that comprise NASDAQ OMX Nordic and NASDAQ OMX Baltic.
Included in new listings are four companies that switched their
listing to NASDAQ from NYSE Euronext.
* Announced that NASDAQ OMX is expanding its popular suite of listed
company services through a partnership with Rivel Research Group,
a leading investment research group. NASDAQ OMX and Rivel plan to
launch Waypoint, a product designed to give companies immediate
and cumulative perception on investment community sentiment.
* Announced that TOCOM, Japan's largest commodity futures exchange,
is the first Japanese customer to go live with a new trading
system from NASDAQ OMX. With more than 80 percent market share,
TOCOM lists futures and options contracts for a wide range of
commodities including metals, oil and rubber.
"The ability to grow operating margins in a difficult market speaks to our
strength as proven integrators," said David Warren, NASDAQ OMX's Chief
Financial Officer. "Due to our strong performance we were able to generate the
cash flow necessary to reduce our debt obligations while investing in new
initiatives to drive future growth. Looking forward, we are reducing our full
year 2009 total operating expense guidance to be in the range of $830.0 million
to $850.0 million, including approximately $30.0 million in merger-related
costs."
Financial Review
Revenues
Revenues less liquidity rebates, brokerage, clearance and exchange fees ("net
exchange revenues") were $369 million for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease
of $50 million, or 12%, from first quarter 2008 results, and a decrease of $34
million, or 8%, from fourth quarter 2008 results.
Market Services
Market Services net exchange revenues decreased to $258 million, down 13% from
the prior year quarter, and down 8% from the fourth quarter of 2008.
Transaction Services
Net exchange revenues from Transaction Services were $167 million for the first
quarter of 2009, a decrease of $27 million, or 14%, when compared to the first
quarter of 2008, and a decrease of $13 million, or 7%, from the fourth quarter
of 2008.
* Cash Equity Trading net exchange revenues were $80 million for the
first quarter of 2009, down $26 million from the prior year
quarter and down $14 million from the fourth quarter of 2008.
o Net U.S. cash equity trading revenues decreased when compared
to the prior year quarter due primarily to a decline in the
average net fee per share matched on NASDAQ's trading system.
The decline in net exchange revenues when compared to the
fourth quarter of 2008 is due primarily to a decline in the
number of shares matched by NASDAQ.
o European cash equity trading revenues declined when compared
to the prior year quarter and from the fourth quarter of 2008
due to a decline in value traded and fewer trades executed on
the market. Value traded in the first quarter of 2009 was
EUR135 billion, down 54% and 21% from the first quarter of
2008 and the fourth quarter of 2008, respectively. During the
quarter, trade volume declined 9% from the prior year quarter
and 14% from the fourth quarter of 2008. Also contributing to
the decline in European cash equity trading revenues when
compared to the first quarter of 2008 are changes in the
exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S.
dollar.
o Included in U.S. cash equity trading revenues in the first
quarter of 2009 are $25 million in SEC Section 31 fees,
compared with $91 million in the first quarter of 2008 and
$37 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Corresponding cost
of revenues, reflecting the reimbursement of these fees to the
SEC, is included in brokerage, clearance and exchange fees.
* Derivative trading net exchange revenues were $55 million for the
first quarter of 2009, a decrease of $2 million from the prior
year quarter but an increase of $1 million when compared to the
fourth quarter of 2008.
o The decrease when compared to the prior year quarter is
primarily due to lower Nordic derivative trading volumes,
which were down 34% from the first quarter of 2008. Also
contributing to the decline in European derivative trading
revenues from the year-ago period are changes in the exchange
rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar.
Partially offsetting these declines is the inclusion of
NASDAQ OMX Commodities revenues following the October 21, 2008
closing of NASDAQ OMX's acquisition of Nord Pool ASA's
clearing, international derivatives and consulting
subsidiaries.
o The increase in revenues when compared to the fourth quarter
of 2008 is primarily due to the inclusion of NASDAQ OMX
Commodities revenues noted above. Partially offsetting this
increase are lower revenues due to a 13% decline in Nordic
derivative trading volumes.
Market Data
Market Data revenues were $81 million for the first quarter of 2009, down $3
million, or 4%, when compared to the first quarter of 2008 and down $4 million,
or 5% from the fourth quarter of 2008.
* Net U.S. Tape Plans revenues were $34 million in the first quarter
of 2009, down $1 million when compared to the prior year quarter
and down $3 million from the fourth quarter of 2008.
o U.S. Tape Plans revenues reflect revenues generated by members
of joint industry plans that distribute the national best bid
and offer and last sale information for U.S. equities. Plan
members, such as The NASDAQ Stock Market, share revenue
collected from disseminating this information. The
distribution of revenue to each plan member is determined
using a formula, required by Regulation NMS, that calculates
each participant's share of trading and quoting activity.
o The decline in U.S. Tape Plans revenues, net of revenue
sharing plans, in the first quarter of 2009 when compared to
the first quarter of 2008 is primarily due to the decline in
NASDAQ's trading and quoting market share of NASDAQ-listed
securities and a reduction in the size of shareable tape plan
revenue pools. The decline in revenue in the first quarter of
2009 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 is primarily
due to reductions in NASDAQ's share of trading and quoting
activity in U.S. equities and a reduction in the size of
shareable tape plan revenue pools.
* U.S. market data products revenues were $28 million in the first
quarter of 2009, an increase of $3 million when compared to the
year ago quarter, and up $1 million when compared to the fourth
quarter of 2008. U.S. market data products revenues reflect
revenues generated from the sale of NASDAQ OMX proprietary data
products. Revenue growth when compared to prior periods is driven
primarily by the introduction of new products such as NASDAQ Last
Sale and the NASDAQ Global Index Data Service, as well as growth
of other proprietary data products.
* European market data products revenues were $19 million in the
first quarter of 2009, a decrease of $5 million when compared to
the prior year quarter and $2 million when compared to the fourth
quarter of 2008. The decrease when compared to the first quarter
of 2008 is primarily due to changes in the exchange rate of the
Euro as compared to the U.S. dollar and to declines in subscriber
populations. Declines in revenue when compared to the fourth
quarter of 2008 are due primarily to declines in subscriber
populations.
Issuer Services
During the first quarter of 2009, Issuer Services revenues declined $10
million, or 11%, to $79 million from the first quarter of 2008 and declined $6
million, or 7%, from the prior quarter.
Global Listing Services
Global Listing Services revenues were $70 million for the first quarter of
2009, down $8 million when compared to the first quarter of 2008 and down $5
million from the fourth quarter of 2008. Decreases in revenues from prior
periods are due primarily to lower U.S. annual renewal fees resulting from
fewer listed companies, and to lower market capitalization values for European
listed equities, which in turn result in lower European listing fees. Also
contributing to the decline in revenues from the first quarter of 2008 are
changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S.
dollar. Contributing to the decline in revenues when compared to the fourth
quarter of 2008 are seasonally lower corporate services revenues.
Global Index Group
Global Index Group revenues were $9 million for the first quarter of 2009, down
$2 million when compared to the first quarter of 2008 and $1 million when
compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. Driving the decline in revenues are
lower license fees associated with NASDAQ OMX-licensed products, including
lower volumes and declines in assets under management in ETFs and structured
products.
Market Technology
Market Technology revenues were $29 million for the first quarter of 2009, down
$4 million, or 12%, when compared to the first quarter of 2008, and down $6
million, or 17%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. The revenue
decline when compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to changes in
exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar. Also
contributing to the decline is the loss of contract revenues following NASDAQ
OMX's acquisition of Nord Pool ASA's clearing, international derivatives and
consulting subsidiaries, noted above. Nord Pool ASA was previously a customer
of NASDAQ OMX Market Technology. The decline in revenues when compared to the
fourth quarter of 2008 is primarily due to seasonally higher revenues for the
prior period, the partial loss of contract revenues from the Nord Pool ASA
transaction noted above, and to changes in exchange rates of various currencies
as compared to the U.S. dollar.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased $55 million, or 22%, to $194 million from
$249 million in the prior year quarter and $19 million, or 9%, from $213
million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The decrease in expenses was realized
through a reduction in compensation expense, lower depreciation expense,
reduced expenses for computer operations and data transmission, and lower
general, administrative and other expense. The decline in expenses is driven by
successful integration efforts associated with NASDAQ's business combination
with OMX and the acquisition of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $22 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared
with $29 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $28 million for the fourth
quarter of 2008. The decline in net interest expense when compared to the prior
periods is primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding debt
obligations.
Earnings Per Share
On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter 2009 earnings per diluted share were $0.48
as compared to pro forma non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.44 in the
prior year quarter, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.52 in the
fourth quarter of 2008. NASDAQ OMX's weighted average shares outstanding used
to calculate diluted earnings per share were 214.3 million in the first quarter
of 2009 versus 214.1 million for both the year-ago quarter and the fourth
quarter of 2008.
