HIGHLIGHTS

Nicolas Aguzin, Chief Executive Officer said: This was another good quarter of strategic progress for the Group, accompanied by strong headline financials. Quarterly revenue was up 18 per cent, core business revenue was up 9 per cent and profit attributable to shareholders was up 30 per cent compared with the 2022 comparable period. Despite challenging global markets, these results reflect HKEX’s resiliency, the purposeful ongoing diversification of the business, our active management of costs and the team’s resolute focus on the execution of our strategy. Highlights included the continued health and growth in HKEX’s Derivatives Markets, the go-live of a new smart-contract settlement platform, HKEX Synapse in October, and the confirmed launch of FINI, Hong Kong’s new digitalised IPO settlement platform for later this quarter. The macro backdrop remains fragile, but the business is in good shape and is well-positioned to capitalise on slowly improving market sentiment.
