Bob Greifeld, Chief Executive Officer and President, NASDAQ OMX said:

“Our fourth consecutive quarter of record earnings was driven by strong growth in revenues. And year-to-date our revenues have increased 13 percent over last year, against a 10 percent decline in U.S. equity volumes. But to truly appreciate our performance one must consider the strength and diversity of the business we’ve built and evaluate what we’ve delivered over the longer term, and that is double digit earnings growth. A truly impressive track record for the team here at NASDAQ OMX.”


Business Highlights

 

 

Entered into a $1.2 billion senior unsecured five-year credit facility to refinance NASDAQ OMX’s prior credit facilities due 2013, and simultaneously initiated a cash tender offer for its outstanding 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes. NASDAQ OMX subsequently accepted for payment $335 million, or 78%, of the outstanding notes tendered during the offer period. These transactions reduce NASDAQ OMX’s overall borrowing costs, extend the maturity profile of debt obligations, increase revolver borrowing capacity and generate positive earnings per share returns.

 

 

Announced the approval of a share repurchase program, authorizing NASDAQ OMX to repurchase in aggregate up to $300 million of its outstanding common stock. Further demonstrating its commitment to decrease leverage, during the fourth quarter of 2011, NASDAQ OMX is reducing its debt obligations by approximately $120 million; including a $109 million optional debt payment in addition to an $11 million required quarterly principal payment.

Market Services

 

 

NASDAQ OMX continued its success in U.S. equity options during the third quarter of 2011, achieving number one in market share for a fifth consecutive quarter. A record high 312 million contracts were traded, representing a 35% increase when compared to the third quarter of 2010.

 

 

Migrated The NASDAQ Options Market (“NOM”) to the NASDAQ OMX PHLX (“PHLX”) technology architecture, thereby aligning PHLX and NOM market maker protocols, access ports and back-office systems, and creating the fastest options match engine in the industry. Market maker enhancements included with the migration allow for pure market makers on PHLX, which should increase liquidity and customer fill rates.

 

 

Witnessed increases in Nordic equity volumes as the number of trades reached a record high of 27.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. Year-to-date trade volume has grown 26% while value traded has grown 9% when compared to the same period in 2010.

 

 

FTEN received a second patent which applies to technology that is capable of reducing systemic risk in the financial markets by providing users the ability to manage securities trading risk on a cross-market, -system, and -asset basis by aggregating trading data from disparate liquidity destinations; normalizing information into a common format; analyzing the data using user defined criteria; and providing alerts and actions initiated upon the occurrence of defined situations.

 

 

Announced plans to introduce UltraFeedSM, a highly-efficient data feed that aggregates all North American equity, options, futures and index data feeds. Employing NASDAQ OMX state-of-the-art technology, UltraFeed will first be delivered to QUODD Financial Information Services — a full service market data provider. QUODD Financial Information Services will provide UltraFeed to its approximately 550 downstream client firms who, in turn, feed thousands of end-users.

Issuer Services

 

 

Corporate Solutions revenues continued to perform well, growing 22% when compared to the third quarter of 2010. During the quarter, Corporate Solutions launched Directors Desk HD, an intuitive, feature-rich and secure iPad App providing directors and executives access to sensitive and timely information on-the-go. NASDAQ OMX

Directors Desk is a secure cloud-based solution designed to improve board communications and effectiveness while relieving corporate executives of the paperwork and time involved in keeping boards informed.

 

 

NASDAQ OMX welcomed 38 new listings during the quarter, including 18 initial public offerings. Among the largest IPOs this quarter was Dunkin’ Brands Group which raised over $422.7 million in proceeds. NASDAQ also led U.S. markets for IPOs in the financial and technology sectors with over $848.9 million in total capital raised in the third quarter of 2011 by the two sectors combined. And an important milestone was celebrated as Zillow became the first NASDAQ-listed company to adopt a coveted single letter ticker symbol. Zillow is listed under the ticker symbol Z.

Market Technology

 

 

The Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) went live with its new Reach system, which is based on NASDAQ OMX’s Genium INET technology. The implementation of this new system marks a significant milestone for SGX as it delivers considerable capacity and latency improvement for their cash market.

 

 

Japannext launched NASDAQ OMX’s X-stream, replacing a trading system based on competing technology. Japannext’s decision to upgrade to X-stream was based on their desire to improve the performance of their system and attract increasing amounts of algorithmic trading.

 

 

The Mako Group (“Mako”), a leading provider of liquidity in derivatives, selected NASDAQ OMX’s SMARTS Broker solution to monitor trading activity across multiple derivatives markets. Mako enables its market-makers to price and trade large inventories of derivatives, while also providing its surveillance department with compliance tools covering all asset classes and markets to keep pace with the continually evolving regulatory landscape. The use of SMARTS Broker will give Mako in-depth data analysis, intuitive visualization tools and real-time alert algorithms, and provide their surveillance department with the highest level of transparency across global derivatives trading venues in a single, consolidated view.

 

 

BM&FBOVESPA, the largest stock exchange in Latin America, and Bovespa Market Supervision (“BSM”), the Brazilian self-regulatory organization in charge of inspecting and supervising the transactions and the persons authorized to trade, announced that they will use NASDAQ OMX’s SMARTS Integrity market surveillance platform to monitor trading across their equities and commodities platforms. The SMARTS Integrity platform will provide BM&FBOVESPA and BSM with an automated solution for market surveillance, operations and market oversight, strengthening their current surveillance capabilities and providing them a scalable platform for long-term growth.

Financial Review

Revenues

Revenues less transaction rebates, brokerage, clearance and exchange fees (“net exchange revenues”) were $438 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $22 million, or 5%, from the second quarter of 2011 and an increase of $66 million, or 18%, from the third quarter of 2010. Changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar had the impact of decreasing revenues in the third quarter of 2011 by $3 million when compared to the second quarter of 2011, and increasing revenues by $16 million when compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Market Services

Market Services net exchange revenues were $300 million for the third quarter of 2011, up 8% when compared to the second quarter of 2011 results and 20% when compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Transaction Services

Net exchange revenues from Transaction Services were $211 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $22 million, or 12%, when compared to the second quarter of 2011, and $43 million, or 26%, when compared to the third quarter of 2010.

 

 

Total net cash equity trading revenues were $67 million for the third quarter of 2011, up $8 million, or 14%, from the second quarter of 2011, and up $4 million, or 6%, from the prior year quarter.

 

   

Net U.S. cash equity trading revenues increased $7 million when compared to the second quarter of 2011 and $1 million when compared to the third quarter of 2010. The growth in revenues when compared to both periods is primarily due to increases in industry trading volumes, partially offset by declines in the average net fee per share matched on NASDAQ’s trading system.

 

   

Included in U.S. cash equity trading revenues in the third quarter of 2011 are $92 million in SEC Section 31 fees, compared with $74 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $60 million in the third quarter of 2010. Corresponding cost of revenues, reflecting the reimbursement of these fees to the SEC, is included in brokerage, clearance and exchange fees.

 

   

European cash equity trading revenues were up $1 million, or 4%, from the second quarter of 2011 and $3 million, or 14%, from the prior year quarter. The increase when compared to both periods is primarily due to increases in trading volumes.

Also contributing to the increase when compared to the third quarter of 2010 are changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar.

 

 

Total net derivative trading and clearing revenues were $84 million for the third quarter of 2011, up $9 million, or 12%, from the second quarter of 2011, and up $24 million, or 40%, from the prior year quarter.

 

   

Net U.S. derivative trading and clearing revenues increased $7 million when compared to the second quarter of 2011 and $17 million when compared to third quarter of 2010 net revenues. The increases when compared to both periods are primarily due to higher industry trading volumes, offset slightly by modest declines in market share.

 

   

European derivative trading and clearing revenues increased $2 million from the second quarter of 2011 and $7 million when compared to the third quarter of 2010. Higher revenues when compared to both periods are primarily due to increases in derivative trading activity. Also contributing to the increase when compared to the third quarter of 2010 are changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar.

 

 

Access Services revenues were $60 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $5 million, or 9%, when compared to the second quarter of 2011 and an increase of $15 million, or 33%, when compared to the prior year quarter. The growth in revenues when compared to the second quarter of 2011 is primarily due to increased demand for services. The growth in revenues when compared to the third quarter of 2010 is due to the acquisition of FTEN, which was completed in December 2010, and to increased demand for services.

Market Data

Market Data revenues were $83 million for the third quarter of 2011, equal to revenues for the second quarter of 2011, but up $7 million, or 9%, when compared to the third quarter of 2010.

 

 

Net U.S. tape plans revenues were $30 million in the third quarter of 2011, equal to revenues in the second quarter of 2011, but up $2 million when compared to the prior year quarter. The higher revenues when compared to the third quarter of 2010 are due to an increase in the amount of shareable revenues available in the various tape plans, partially offset by lower Trade Reporting Facility market share.

 

 

U.S. market data products revenues were $33 million in the third quarter of 2011, up $1 million when compared to revenues reported in the second quarter of 2011 and in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues when compared to both periods is due to higher customer demand for proprietary data products.

European market data products revenues were $20 million in the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $1 million, or 5%, when compared to the second quarter of 2011, but an increase of $4 million, or 25%, when compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease when compared to the second quarter of 2011 is primarily due to higher audit fees in the earlier period, and to changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar. The increase when compared to the third quarter of 2010 is primarily due to modified fees for market data products and to changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar.

Issuer Services

Issuer Services revenues were $92 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $1 million, or 1%, when compared to the second quarter of 2011, and an increase of $7 million, or 8%, when compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Global Listing Services

Global Listing Services revenues were $79 million for the third quarter of 2011, down $1 million, or 1%, when compared to the second quarter of 2011, but up $6 million, or 8%, when compared to the third quarter of 2010. The decrease when compared to the second quarter of 2011 is due to lower Corporate Solutions and European listing revenues. When compared to the prior year period, revenue growth is primarily due to increases in Corporate Solutions revenues, resulting from higher demand for services from listed companies, and increases in listing revenues. When compared to the third quarter of 2010, European listing revenues benefited from changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar.

Global Index Group

Global Index Group revenues were $13 million for the third quarter of 2011, equal to revenues in the second quarter of 2011, and up $1 million, or 8%, when compared to the third quarter of 2010. Higher revenues when compared to the prior year period are primarily due to increases in asset sizes of licensed ETFs, as well as additional demand for new licensed ETFs and other financial products.

Market Technology

Market Technology revenues were $46 million for the third quarter of 2011, equal to revenues in the second quarter of 2011, and up $8 million, or 21%, when compared to the third quarter of 2010. The increase when compared to the third quarter of 2010 is primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from SMARTS, which was acquired in August 2010. Also contributing to the increase in revenues when compared to the third quarter of 2010 are revenues associated with recently delivered projects and changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar.

Operating Expenses

Total non-GAAP operating expenses increased $5 million, or 2%, to $234 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $229 million in the second quarter of 2011, and increased $31 million, or 15%, from $203 million in the prior year quarter. The increase when compared to the second quarter of 2011 is primarily driven by higher compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses. When compared to the third quarter of 2010, the increase is primarily due to higher expenses associated with FTEN (acquired in December 2010), SMARTS (acquired in August 2010), and Zoomvision Mamato (acquired in December 2010). Also contributing to the increase were higher compensation expenses and changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar, which had the effect of increasing expenses by $10 million.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense was $27 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared with $28 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $23 million for the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in net interest expense when compared to the second quarter of 2011 is primarily due to a lower average interest rate on the floating rate term loan in the third quarter of 2011. The increase in net interest expense when compared to the third quarter of 2010 is primarily due to the issuance of senior notes in December 2010 to partially finance the repurchase of shares. Included in total net interest expense for the third quarter of 2011 is $23 million in interest expense, $4 million of non-cash expense associated with the accretion of debt discounts, $2 million in debt issuance amortization expense, and $1 million of other bank-related fees. Interest income for the third quarter of 2011 was $3 million.

Earnings Per Share

On a non-GAAP basis, third quarter 2011 earnings per diluted share were $0.67 as compared to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.62 in the second quarter of 2011 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.50 in the prior year quarter. NASDAQ OMX’s weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share was 181 million for the second and third quarters of 2011 and 204 million for the third quarter of 2010.
