Date 29/04/2013

Deutsche Börse AG published its figures for the first quarter of 2013 on Monday. A slightly improved business environment meant that net revenue, at €484.3 million, was above that of the third and fourth quarter of 2012 (Q3/2012: €471.0 million, Q4/2012: €447.7 million), but down slightly on the prior-year quarter (Q1/2012: €506.9 million). This was mainly due to historically low interest rates and reduced equity market volatility. Adjusted for special items mainly in connection with the efficiency measures announced in February, the Group’s operating costs amounted to €229.5 million (Q1/2012: €225.7 million). The planned slight year-on-year increase of operating costs was attributable to higher investments in growth and infrastructure. Overall, the Group recorded adjusted earnings per share of €0.92 (Q1/2012: €1.01).
