Financial Review
Revenues
Revenues less transaction rebates, brokerage, clearance and exchange fees (“net exchange revenues”) were $422 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of $16 million, or 4%, from the third quarter of 2011 but an increase of $22 million, or 6%, from the fourth 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 fourth quarter of 2011 by $6 million when compared to the third quarter of 2011, and increasing revenues by $1 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.
Market Services
Market Services net exchange revenues were $281 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, down 6% when compared to the third quarter of 2011 but up 6% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.
| The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. | 4 |
Transaction Services
Net exchange revenues from Transaction Services were $188 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of $23 million, or 11%, when compared to the third quarter of 2011, but an increase of $6 million, or 3%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.
| • | Total net cash equity trading revenues were $59 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, down $8 million, or 12%, from the third quarter of 2011, and $1 million, or 2%, from the prior year quarter. |
| • | Net U.S. cash equity trading revenues declined $6 million when compared to the third quarter of 2011 but were equal to revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decline in revenues when compared to the third quarter of 2011 is primarily due to reductions in industry trading volumes, partially offset by increases in the average net fee per share matched on NASDAQ’s trading system. |
| • | Included in U.S. cash equity trading revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011 are $73 million in SEC Section 31 fees, compared with $92 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $57 million in the fourth 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 down $2 million, or 8%, from the third quarter of 2011 and $1 million, or 4%, from the prior year quarter. The decreases when compared to both periods are due primarily to declines in value traded. Also contributing to the decrease when compared to the third quarter of 2011 are changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar. |
| • | Total net derivative trading and clearing revenues were $73 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, down $11 million, or 13%, from the third quarter of 2011, and $1 million, or 1%, from the prior year quarter. |
| • | Net U.S. derivative trading and clearing revenues decreased $10 million when compared to the third quarter of 2011 and $1 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease when compared to the third quarter of 2011 is due primarily to lower industry trading volumes, while the decrease from the prior year quarter is due primarily to a decline in market share. |
| • | European derivative trading and clearing revenues decreased $1 million from the third quarter of 2011 but were equal to revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010. Lower revenues when compared to the third quarter of 2011 are primarily due to changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar. |
| • | Access Services revenues were $56 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. When compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 revenues increased $8 million, or 17%, primarily due to the acquisition of FTEN, which was completed in December 2010. When compared to the third quarter of 2011, an audit adjustment in the third quarter of 2011 resulted in higher than normal revenues for that period. |
| The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. | 5 |
Market Data
Market Data revenues were $87 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, up $4 million, or 5%, when compared to the third quarter of 2011, and up $8 million, or 10%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.
| • | Net U.S. tape plans revenues were $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, down $1 million when compared to the third quarter of 2011, but up $1 million when compared to the prior year quarter. The decline in revenues when compared to the third quarter of 2011 is due to a decrease in the amount of shareable revenues available in the various tape plans. The increase when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 is due to higher trading and quoting market share, as calculated under the SEC-mandated market data revenue quoting and trading formula. |
| • | U.S. market data products revenues were $37 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, up $4 million when compared to the third quarter of 2011 and $5 million when compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues when compared to both periods is due to higher customer demand for proprietary data products. Also contributing to the increase in revenue are higher audit fees in the fourth quarter of 2011. |
| • | European market data products revenues were $21 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of $1 million when compared to the third quarter of 2011, and an increase of $2 million when compared to the prior year quarter. The increase when compared to the third quarter of 2011 is primarily due to increased demand for data products and higher audit fees, offset somewhat by changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar. The increase when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 is primarily due to modified fees for market data products, increased demand for data products, and higher audit fees. |
Issuer Services
Issuer Services revenues were $93 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of $1 million, or 1%, when compared to the third quarter of 2011, and an increase of $4 million, or 4%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.
Global Listing Services
Global Listing Services revenues were $80 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, up $1 million, or 1%, when compared to the third quarter of 2011, and up $3 million, or 4%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Revenue growth when compared to both periods is primarily due to increases in Corporate Solutions revenues resulting from higher demand for services from customers. Also contributing to the increase when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 are higher European listing revenues.
Global Index Group
Global Index Group revenues were $13 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, equal to revenues in the third quarter of 2011, and up $1 million, or 8%, when compared to the
| The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. | 6 |
fourth 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 $48 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, up $2 million, or 4%, when compared to both the third quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010. Contributing to increases when compared to both periods are revenues associated with recently delivered projects. Somewhat offsetting the increase when compared to the third quarter of 2011 are changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar.
Operating Expenses
Total non-GAAP operating expenses increased $1 million to $235 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $234 million in the third quarter of 2011, and increased $19 million, or 9%, from $216 million in the prior year quarter. The increase when compared to the third quarter of 2011 is primarily driven by higher marketing and advertising expenses, and incremental spending for professional and contract services. Somewhat offsetting these increases are lower compensation expenses and a favorable effect from changes in the exchange rates of various currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar. When compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, the increase is primarily due to higher expenses associated with FTEN (acquired in December 2010), and Zoomvision Mamato (acquired in December 2010). Also contributing to the increase were higher compensation expenses and incremental spending for professional and contract services.
Items Excluded from Non-GAAP Results
Included in the fourth quarter of 2011 results are $44 million of pre-tax expenses associated with debt refinancing, the impairment of an available-for-sale investment security, and merger and strategic initiatives. These expenses have been excluded from non-GAAP results.
| • | $25 million in pre-tax charges were recorded following NASDAQ OMX’s tender offer to purchase 2.5% convertible notes. Included were $22 million of a write-off associated with an unamortized debt discount, $2 million of debt issuance costs, and $1 million of other expenses. |
| • | A non-cash, other-than-temporary charge of $18 million related to an available-for-sale investment security in Dubai Financial Market. As of December 31, 2011, the cost basis of this investment security was $36 million and the fair value was $18 million. It was determined that the decline in value of this security below its carrying amount was other than temporary. |
| • | $1 million in expenses related to merger and strategic initiatives. |
| The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. | 7 |
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $23 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $27 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $24 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease in net interest expense when compared to both periods is primarily due to the refinancing of a prior credit facility and the purchase of 2.5% convertible notes. Interest income for the fourth quarter and third quarter of 2011 was $3 million and was $2 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Earnings Per Share
On a non-GAAP basis, fourth quarter 2011 earnings per diluted share were $0.63 as compared to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.67 in the third quarter of 2011 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.55 in the prior year quarter. NASDAQ OMX’s weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share were 180 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, 181 million for the third quarter of 2011, and 200 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.
