Deutsche Börse AG / Key word(s): Quarter Results 27.10.2010 20:08 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deutsche Börse Group recorded a slight year-on-year rise in sales revenue in the third quarter 2010. At EUR504.3 million in Q3/2010, sales revenue was up 1 percent as against Q3/2009 (Q3/2009: EUR500.9 million). At EUR287.0 million, total costs were lower than in the third quarter 2009 (Q3/2009: EUR301.5 million). After adjustment of costs for efficiency programs of EUR12.9 million, resulting from the measures announced in the first quarter 2010 to increase operational efficiency, costs amounted to EUR274.1 million, well below the figure for the prior-year quarter and on a level with the previous quarter (Q2/2010: EUR274.0 million excluding costs for efficiency programs). Overall, Deutsche Börse Group therefore generated EBIT of EUR244.1 million, up slightly on the third quarter 2009 (Q3/2009: EUR243.7 million). EBIT rose by 7 percent to EUR257.4 million after adjustment for costs for efficiency programs. Net income for the third quarter 2010 amounted to EUR161.3 million as against EUR158.3 million in Q3/2009. Excluding costs for efficiency programs, net income for the period amounted to EUR171.0 million, up 9 percent. Basic earnings per share, based on a weighted average of 185.9 million shares outstanding, amounted to EUR0.87 in the third quarter 2010 (Q3/2009: EUR0.85 for an average of 185.9 million shares outstanding). Excluding costs for efficiency programs, basic earnings per share were up 9 percent year-on-year at EUR0.92. Due to the positive cost trend in the first nine months of 2010, the Company is expecting total costs for full-year 2010 of around EUR1,150 million before costs for efficiency programs. This will bring the Company in at around EUR60 million lower than its original cost guidance of EUR1,210 million. Due to still pending regulatory approval for certain functions and the subdued trend on the US options market, the probability that an impairment loss will be recognized on the other intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition of ISE has increased in the third quarter 2010. In case the sustainable business prospects for ISE do not improve, Deutsche Börse expects to recognize an impairment loss on the other intangible assets in the fourth quarter 2010. 27.10.2010 20:08 DGAP's Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements, Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.
