CME Group Inc. will announce earnings for the third quarter of 2017 before the markets open on Thursday, October 26, 2017. Starting this quarter, the company will be streamlining the earnings release process by posting slides and written highlights for the quarter on its website at 6:30 a.m. Central Time, the same time it provides its earnings press release. The company will continue its practice of holding an investor conference call that day at 7:30 a.m. Central Time, at which time company executives will take analysts' questions. This new approach is designed to provide more information to analysts and investors in advance of the call, as well as to allow more time for questions and answers.
A live audio Webcast of the conference call will be available on the Investor Relations section of the company's Web site, www.cmegroup.com. Following the conference call, an archived recording will be available at the same site. Those wishing to listen to the live conference via telephone should dial 800-279-9534 if calling from within the United States or 719-457-2618 if calling from outside the United States, at least 10 minutes before the call begins.
