NASDAQ OMX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

 

 

Q212 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.64, up $0.02 compared to prior year quarter; Q212 GAAP diluted EPS of $0.53

 

 

Q212 non-GAAP net exchange revenues1 were $413 million, down 0.5% year-over-year, but up 3% year-over-year on an organic basis (constant currency and excluding acquisitions); Q212 net exchange revenues were $424 million

 

 

Performance driven by growth in Global Market Data Products (revenues up 8% year-over-year to $90 million) and Access Services (revenues up 11% year-over-year to $61 million)

New York, N.Y.—The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NDAQ) today reported results for the second quarter of 2012. Second quarter non-GAAP net exchange revenues were $413 million, down 0.5% compared to the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, non-GAAP second quarter 2012 net exchange revenues increased 3% compared to the second quarter of 2011.

Operating expenses were $249 million, compared to $257 million in the second quarter of 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding $17 million of restructuring charges, $1 million of merger and strategic initiative expenses, and $2 million of other charges, second quarter 2012 non-GAAP operating expenses were $229 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses were up $1 million year-over-year.

Second quarter 2012 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.64, up $0.02 compared to the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per share in Q212 excludes income from open positions relating to the operations of the Exchange of $11 million, non-cash intangible asset impairment charges of $28 million, restructuring charges of $17 million, merger and strategic initiative expenses of $1 million, and other charges of $2 million. On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to NASDAQ OMX for the second quarter of 2012 was $93 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared with $92 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

Robert Greifeld, NASDAQ OMX’s CEO, commented: “The second quarter saw a continuation of solid growth in our recurring and subscription-based businesses. Strong growth in our Global Market Data, Access Services and Global Index businesses offset continued weak trends in our transaction-based businesses. This performance was a direct result of our continued focus on cost management, and the execution of our strategy to build strong, recurring and subscription-based revenue businesses that can drive growth, despite the trading environment.”

Lee Shavel, NASDAQ OMX’s EVP and Chief Financial Officer, said: “Over the last three and a half years, NASDAQ OMX has clearly demonstrated its ability to generate strong free cash flow during a historically difficult business cycle. In the second quarter of 2012, we continued to generate substantial capital and to execute on our strategy to deploy that capital effectively. We paid our first cash dividend of $0.13 per common share in June 2012, and repurchased $125 million of our common stock. In addition, we utilized approximately $57 million in cash to acquire a majority interest in BWise, a leader in enterprise governance, risk management and compliance, or GRC, software. The

underpinning of our capital deployment strategy is a robust return-on-invested-capital framework which complements our operational discipline and delivers substantial value for our shareholders.”

At June 30, 2012, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $491 million and total debt of $1,996 million, resulting in net debt of $1,505 million. This compares to net debt of $1,611 million at December 31, 2011. During the second quarter of 2012, the company repurchased 5.3 million shares of outstanding common stock under a share repurchase program, for a total of $125 million. Since January 2009, we have repurchased $1,072 million of outstanding common stock, representing 49.1 million shares at an average price of $21.85.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Market Services (67% of total non-GAAP net exchange revenues) - non-GAAP net exchange revenues were $278 million in the second quarter of 2012, up $1 million when compared to the second quarter of 2011:

Cash Equities (12% of total non-GAAP net exchange revenues) – Total net cash equity trading revenues were $52 million in the second quarter of 2012, down $7 million compared to the second quarter of 2011. The decline was primarily the result of lower trading activity in U.S. and Europe, and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange.

Derivatives (17% of total non-GAAP net exchange revenues) – Total net derivative trading and clearing revenues were $70 million in the second quarter of 2012, down $5 million compared to the second quarter of 2011. The year-over-year decline was due to lower industry trading volumes in the Nordic region, and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange.

Access and Broker Services (16% of total non-GAAP net exchange revenues) – Revenues of $66 million were up $7 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily driven by the uptake of new products including 40G connectivity and Supercab.

Market Data (22% of total non-GAAP net exchange revenues) – Total Market Data revenues of $90 million reflect a $7 million increase compared to the year ago quarter. The increase in Market Data revenues was primarily the result of growth in U.S. proprietary products and increased audit collections.

Issuer Services (22% of total non-GAAP net exchange revenues) – Revenues were $91 million in the second quarter of 2012, down $1 million compared to the second quarter of 2011, as increased Corporate Solutions and Global Index Group revenues were more than offset by lower listing fee revenues and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange.

Market Technology (11% of total non-GAAP net exchange revenues) – Revenues of $44 million in the second quarter of 2012 declined $2 million compared to the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact from foreign exchange, Market Technology revenues increased $3 million year-over-year, primarily due to increased delivery project revenues.

COST GUIDANCE – For the full year of 2012, total core operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $870 million to $890 million (down from prior core expense guidance of $880 to $900 million), plus $40 million to $50 million in incremental new initiative spending,

and an additional $25 million due to the BWise and NOS acquisitions, resulting in total operating expenses in the range of $935 million to $965 million. This guidance excludes expenses related to the cost reduction plan and expenses for the proposed voluntary accommodation program and related expenses.
