Bob Greifeld, Chief Executive Officer, NASDAQ OMX said:
'In 2010 we saw a sizable return on the strategic decisions we made in recent
years. This was driven by a well-designed diversification strategy and buoyed
by our major acquisitions. As a result, we achieved a record performance,
seeing excellent growth in derivatives and strength in our European-based
businesses. This year we plan to continue our success as we further diversify
and leverage the scale of our business model.'
Business Highlights
-- On December 21, 2010, NASDAQ OMX completed a share repurchase from Borse
Dubai totaling $497 million, or 22.8 million shares. This transaction was
financed with $130 million of cash on hand and $367 million from the net
proceeds of 7-year senior bonds with a 5.25% coupon rate. Share repurchases
for the full year of 2010 totaled $797 million, or 37.8 million shares,
representing approximately 18% of NASDAQ OMX's total shares outstanding at
the beginning of 2010.
European Transaction Services
-- Witnessed significant growth in derivative trading and clearing revenues
and transaction volumes when compared to the prior year quarter. Total
revenues increased 23% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 while
average daily volumes for options, futures, and fixed-income contracts
traded or cleared on the Nordic derivatives market grew by 20%.
-- Launched Genium INET, a comprehensive multi-asset trading and clearing
system, in the Nordic derivatives market. In addition to powering its own
markets, this technology is part of NASDAQ OMX's commercial exchange
technology offering, giving customers access to the fastest and most robust
trading system in the world.
-- Expanded the Nordic clearinghouse by offering members the opportunity to
clear repurchase agreement ('repo') transactions. As a result of an
agreement between the Swedish Money Market Council and NASDAQ OMX, the
entire Swedish Interbank repo market will ultimately be cleared through
NASDAQ OMX Stockholm AB.
U.S. Transaction Services
-- NASDAQ OMX was number one in U.S. equity options market share for the
fourth quarter and full year of 2010. Additionally, net U.S. derivative
trading and clearing revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 grew to $42
million, representing an increase of 35% when compared to the prior year
period, while revenues for the full year increased to $150 million.
-- Launched NASDAQ OMX PSX ('PSX'), the first U.S. equity trading platform
with a price-size priority model. PSX is an equity exchange model that
encourages participants to display more shares in the transparent
marketplace by offering improved execution opportunities for large orders.
More displayed volume encourages greater transparency in the public
marketplace and increased depth at a given price level for customers.
-- Acquired FTEN, Inc., a leading provider of Real-Time Risk Management
('RTRM') solutions for the financial securities market. FTEN is a market
leader in RTRM and, with the implementation of new market access rules, is
well positioned to grow as the industry becomes more focused on solutions
for effectively managing risk.
Market Technology
-- The Australian Securities Exchange launched its next generation trading
system, ASX Trade, which is powered by NASDAQ OMX's Genium INET platform.
The Genium INET platform combines rich functionality with high reliability,
and has delivered significant latency and transaction capacity
improvements.
Issuer Services
-- Acquired Stockholm-based Zoomvision Mamato ('ZVM'), a company that provides
live webcasting services, primarily for investor relations professionals.
ZVM is now part of NASDAQ OMX's Global Corporate Solutions division, which
provides a range of investor relations products, market analytics and
governance services that help public and private companies minimize risk,
maximize efficiency, and increase transparency.
-- Announced a plan with the Singapore Exchange ('SGX') to offer companies
cross listing opportunities. NASDAQ-listed companies with strong brand
awareness and active business endeavors in Asia will benefit from a
secondary listing on SGX. SGX-listed companies interested in reaching U.S.
investors will be able to list their ADRs on The NASDAQ Stock Market.

at nearly $800 million. In 2011, our goal is to continue to manage our capital
effectively as we focus on investments in new initiatives and debt retirement.'

Financial Review
Revenues
Revenues less transaction rebates, brokerage, clearance and exchange fees ('net
exchange revenues') were $400 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, an
increase of $28 million, or 8%, from the third quarter of 2010 and an increase
of $31 million, or 8%, from the fourth quarter of 2009. Changes in the
exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar had the
impact of increasing revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010 by $8 million when
compared to the third quarter of 2010, and by $1 million when compared to the
fourth quarter of 2009.
Market Services
Market Services net exchange revenues were $265 million, up 6% when compared to
the third quarter of 2010 results and up 10% when compared to the fourth
quarter of 2009.
Transaction Services
Net exchange revenues from Transaction Services were $182 million for the
fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of $14 million, or 8%, when compared to the
third quarter of 2010, and an increase of $32 million, or 21%, when compared to
the fourth quarter of 2009.
-- Total net cash equity trading revenues were $60 million for the fourth
quarter of 2010, down $3 million, or 5%, from the third quarter of 2010,
but up $8 million, or 15%, from the prior year quarter.
-- Net U.S. cash equity trading revenues decreased $5 million when compared to
the third quarter of 2010 due to lower trading volumes, which declined 14%
from third quarter of 2010 levels, and lower market share. Net revenues
increased $8 million when compared to the prior year quarter due primarily
to modified rates, offset somewhat by lower trading volumes.
-- European cash equity trading revenues increased $2 million when compared to
results from the third quarter of 2010 and were equal to revenues in the
fourth quarter of 2009. When compared to the third quarter of 2010 the
increase in revenue is due to higher trading activity and to changes in the
exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar.
-- Included in U.S. cash equity trading revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010
are $57 million in SEC Section 31 fees, compared with $60 million in the
third quarter of 2010 and $103 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Corresponding cost of revenues, reflecting the reimbursement of these fees
to the SEC, is included in brokerage, clearance and exchange fees.
-- Total net derivative trading and clearing revenues were $74 million for the
fourth quarter of 2010, up $14 million, or 23%, from the third quarter of
2010 and up $17 million, or 30%, from the prior year quarter.
-- Net U.S. derivative trading and clearing revenues increased $8 million when
compared to the third quarter of 2010 and $11 million when compared to
fourth quarter of 2009 revenues. The increases when compared to both
periods are due to higher market share and higher industry volumes.
-- European derivative trading and clearing revenues increased $6 million when
compared to the third quarter of 2010 and to the fourth quarter of 2009.
Increases when compared to both periods are due to higher trading and
clearing volumes for options, futures and fixed-income products, and
activity associated with repo contracts launched in the fourth quarter of
2010. The increase when compared to the third quarter of 2010 is also
driven by higher activity associated with trading and clearing energy
derivative products. Contributing to the increase when compared to the
fourth quarter of 2009 are revenues associated with Nord Pool ASA, which
was acquired in the second quarter of 2010.
-- Access Services revenues were $48 million for the fourth quarter of 2010,
an increase of $3 million, or 7%, when compared to the third quarter of
2010 and an increase of $7 million, or 17%, when compared to the prior year
quarter. The increase in revenues when compared to the third quarter of
2010 is primarily due to increased demand for access services. The increase
in revenues when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 is due to revised
fees for access services and increased demand for co-location services.
Market Data
Market Data revenues were $79 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, up $3
million, or 4%, when compared to the third quarter of 2010, but down $5
million, or 6%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.
-- Net U.S. tape plans revenues were $28 million in the fourth quarter of
2010, equal to revenues in the third quarter of 2010 but down $5 million,
or 15%, when compared to the prior year quarter. The reduction in revenues
when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 is due to lower plan shareable
revenue and to declines in trading and quoting market share of U.S
equities, as calculated under the SEC-mandated market data revenue quoting
and trading formula.
-- U.S. market data products revenues were $32 million in the fourth quarter
of 2010, equal to revenues reported in the third quarter of 2010, but up $1
million, or 3%, when compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in
revenues when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 is driven by the
growth of new products such as BX TotalView, options data feeds, and global
access products.
-- European market data products revenues were $19 million in the fourth
quarter of 2010, an increase of $3 million, or 19%, when compared to the
third quarter of 2010, but a decrease of $1 million, or 5%, when compared
to the prior year quarter. The increase when compared to the third quarter
of 2010 is primarily due to modified fees for market data products and to
changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S.
dollar. The decrease in revenues when compared to the fourth quarter of
2009 is due primarily to declines in subscriber populations, discontinued
products and changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as
compared to the U.S. dollar.
Issuer Services
Issuer Services revenues were $89 million, an increase of $4 million, or 5%,
when compared to the third quarter of 2010, and an increase of $6 million, or
7%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.
Global Listing Services
Global Listing Services revenues were $77 million for the fourth quarter of
2010, up $4 million, or 5%, from the third quarter of 2010 and the fourth
quarter of 2009. The increase when compared to both periods is primarily due to
increases in Corporate Services revenues, resulting from higher demand for
services from listed companies.
Global Index Group
Global Index Group revenues were $12 million for the fourth quarter of 2010,
equal to revenues in the third quarter of 2010, and up $2 million, or 20%, when
compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Higher revenues when compared to the
prior year quarter are primarily due to increases in asset sizes of licensed
exchange traded funds ('ETFs') as well as additional demand for new licensed
ETFs and other financial products.
Market Technology
Market Technology revenues were $46 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, up
$8 million, or 21%, from the third quarter of 2010, and up $2 million, or 5%,
when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. These increases relate to the
inclusion of revenue associated with SMARTS, which was acquired during the
third quarter of 2010. Also contributing to the increase in revenues when
compared to the third quarter of 2010 are revenues associated with higher
change request and advisory fees.
Operating Expenses
Total non-GAAP operating expenses increased $13 million, or 6%, to $216 million
in the fourth quarter of 2010 from $203 million in the third quarter of 2010,
and increased $12 million, or 6%, from $204 million in the prior year quarter.
The increase in expenses when compared to the third quarter of 2010 is driven
by higher compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses resulting
from the inclusion of expenses related to SMARTS, which was acquired in the
third quarter of 2010. Also contributing to the increase was the impact of
changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S.
dollar, which had the effect of increasing expenses by $6 million when compared
to the third quarter of 2010. The increase in expenses from the fourth quarter
of 2009 is primarily due to higher compensation expenses associated with
SMARTS, increases in professional and contract services costs, and changes in
the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar, which
had the effect of increasing expenses by $2 million.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $24 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared
with $23 million for the third quarter of 2010 and $22 million for the fourth
quarter of 2009. Included in total net interest expense for the fourth quarter
of 2010 is $20 million in interest expense, $4 million of non-cash expense
associated with the accretion of senior and convertible notes, and $2 million
in non-cash debt amortization expenses and other related fees. Interest income
for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $2 million.
Income Tax Provision
The non-GAAP tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 31%, while the
effective tax rate on a reported GAAP basis was 9%. The lower than normal GAAP
tax rate is primarily due to the permanent tax effect of the restructuring of
certain NASDAQ OMX subsidiaries. This resulted in a one-time reduction in
deferred tax liabilities due to a revised effective tax rate and a one-time tax
deduction for a capital loss.
Earnings Per Share
On a non-GAAP basis, fourth quarter 2010 earnings per diluted share were $0.55
as compared to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.50 in the third
quarter of 2010 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.46 in the prior
year quarter. NASDAQ OMX's weighted average shares outstanding used to
calculate diluted earnings per share was 200 million for the fourth quarter of
2010, 204 million for the third quarter of 2010, and 215 million for the fourth
quarter of 2009.
