IntercontinentalExchange (NYSE: ICE), a leading operator of regulated global futures exchanges, clearing houses and over-the-counter (OTC) markets, was named to FORTUNE magazine's "100 Fastest-Growing Companies" list. The ranking, which is published in the August 31 issue of FORTUNE, is based on three years of revenue and profit growth, as well as total shareholder return. FORTUNE ranked ICE #1 in the Financial Services industry category and #12 overall.
Jeffrey Sprecher, ICE Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: "We appreciate the recognition of our results in the FORTUNE ranking and want to acknowledge the dedication of our team at ICE. ICE was formed to meet the need for risk management in the global markets we serve. A decade later, we remain focused on our customers' evolving needs by bringing innovation to trading and risk management. In just the past three years, we have grown revenues by 73% -- despite challenging financial market conditions. During that time, we developed new clearing houses and trading products to provide the tools customers need to manage risk in volatile markets."
