IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading operator of regulated global futures exchanges, over-the-counter (OTC) markets and clearing houses, was named to the BusinessWeek 50 for the second consecutive year. The 13th annual ranking, which is published in the April 6 issue of BusinessWeek, is based on return on capital and revenue growth.
Ranking ICE at #17 among the companies included in the S&P500, BusinessWeek recognized ICE's ability to drive results, including successfully launching a clearing house for credit default swaps. "This scrappy bourse continues to run circles around its bigger rivals," said the magazine.
Jeffrey Sprecher, ICE Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: "In a challenging year for the financial services sector, we focused on serving our customers and building value for shareholders by expanding our products and services, and by growing revenues by 42%. Our inclusion in the BusinessWeek 50 is a reflection on the entire team at ICE which takes pride in delivering industry-leading results."
