IntercontinentalExchange Reports 12% increase in Second Quarter Adjusted Diluted EPS of $1.69; GAAP Diluted EPS of $1.64; Revenues up 10% to $325 Million
ATLANTA, GA (August 3, 2011) -- IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading operator of regulated global exchanges, clearing houses and over-the-counter (OTC) markets, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2011. Consolidated revenues increased 10% to $325 million. Consolidated net income attributable to ICE was $121 million, up 19% versus the second quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 21% to $1.64.
Second quarter 2011 adjusted consolidated net income attributable to ICE, which excludes acquisition-related transaction costs during the quarter, grew 11% to $125 million and adjusted diluted EPS increased 12% to $1.69. Please refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release for more information on adjusted net income attributable to ICE and adjusted diluted EPS.
Said ICE Chairman and CEO Jeffrey C. Sprecher: “ICE’s second quarter results in an uncertain economic and regulatory environment demonstrate our strong position in global energy, agricultural and financial markets. Our continued progress in clearing, new product development and technology has produced a diverse and innovative business model that effectively serves the ongoing risk-management needs of our customers around the world.”
ICE SVP and CFO Scott Hill added: “We continue to deliver consistently strong financial results, extending our multi-year track record of double-digit top- and bottom-line growth. ICE remains focused on delivering consistent growth and long-term customer and shareholder value by executing our strategic plan, investing prudently and managing expense in a disciplined manner.”
Second Quarter 2011 Results
Second quarter 2011 consolidated revenues increased 10% from the second quarter of 2010 to $325 million. Consolidated transaction and clearing revenues increased 9% to $289 million. The increase in transaction and clearing revenue was driven primarily by record trading volume in ICE’s Brent crude and Gasoil futures and options contracts, as well as solid OTC energy volumes.
Transaction and clearing revenues in ICE’s futures segment grew 15% to $149 million in the second quarter. Average daily volume (ADV) in ICE’s futures segment was 1.5 million contracts, up 5% from the prior-year second quarter.
Transaction and clearing revenues in ICE's global OTC segment grew 3% to $140 million in the second quarter of 2011. Average daily commissions (ADC) for ICE’s OTC energy business increased 7% to $1.5 million. Revenues from ICE’s credit default swap (CDS) trade execution and clearing business totaled $41 million in the second quarter of 2011, including $17 million from CDS clearing.
Consolidated market data revenues were a record $31 million in the second quarter of 2011, up 13% from the prior second quarter. Consolidated other revenues were $6 million.
Consolidated operating expenses were $134 million in the quarter, an increase of 14% from the second quarter of 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization expenses relating to the addition of intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Climate Exchange plc in the third quarter of 2010, and transaction costs associated with the proposed acquisition of NYSE Euronext during the quarter.
Consolidated operating income increased 7% to $191 million in the quarter. Operating margin was 59% in the second quarter of 2011.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2011 was 32% compared to 34% for the prior second quarter.
First Half 2011 Results
Consolidated revenues in the first half of 2011 grew 14% to $659 million. First half futures volumes increased 15% to 191 million contracts, driving futures transaction and clearing revenue growth to $306 million, up 21% from the first half of 2010. ADV in the first half of the year was 1.5 million contracts, up 14% from the first six months of 2010.
Global OTC segment transaction and clearing revenues were $281 million in the first half of the year, up 7% from the first half of 2010. ADC in ICE’s OTC energy markets were $1.6 million in the first half of 2011, up 13% from the same period of 2010. Consolidated market data revenues increased 11% to $60 million and consolidated operating margin was 60% for the first half of 2011.
Cash flows from operations totaled $321 million in the first half of 2011, up 24% year-over-year. Capital expenditures during the first half of 2011 were $14 million and capitalized software development costs totaled $16 million.
Unrestricted cash and investments were $757 million as of June 30, 2011. At the end of the second quarter, ICE had $457 million in outstanding debt.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation
Below we provide adjusted net income attributable to ICE and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ICE common shareholders as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with our U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) results, and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparison of results because the items described below are not part of our core business. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. We strongly recommend that investors review the GAAP financial measures included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
During the six months and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we recognized acquisition-related transaction costs as we continued to explore acquisitions and other strategic opportunities to strengthen our competitive position and support our growth, including transaction costs relating to the potential acquisition of NYSE Euronext that we incurred during the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and transaction costs relating to the acquisition of CLE that we incurred during the six and three months ended June 30, 2010. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred a $14.3 million loss on a currency hedge that was purchased at the time of the CLE transaction announcement. The tax effects of these items are calculated by applying specific legal entity and jurisdictional marginal tax rates. Adjusted net income attributable to ICE for the periods presented below is calculated by adding net income attributable to ICE, the acquisition-related transaction costs and the loss on the hedge related to the CLE acquisition, which costs are not part of our core business, and their related income tax effect.
The following table reconciles net income attributable to ICE to adjusted net income attributable to ICE and calculates adjusted earnings per share attributable to ICE common shareholders as follows for the following periods (in thousands, except per share amounts):
