ASX Limited Full-Year Result To 30 June 2013

Mr Elmer Funke Kupper, ASX Managing Director and CEO, said: “The global economy was generally more stable during the 2013 financial year. This flowed through to improving activity levels in Australia’s financial markets as the year progressed.

“In the first six months of the year, activity levels remained subdued and, as a result, first half underlying earnings were down 5.3% on the previous year. Market conditions improved over the next six months and second half underlying earnings were up 7.0%. For the full-year, ASX’s underlying profit after tax was $348.2 million, up slightly on the previous year.

“Operating revenue increased 1.1% to $617.4 million. As we saw in the previous year, revenue fell in the businesses directly linked to equity trading activity - Cash Market and Information Services. The decline in these businesses was more than offset by revenue growth in ASX’s other businesses, including Listings and Issuer Services, Derivatives, Technical Services and Austraclear. This underlines the resilience of ASX’s diversified business model.”
