Oct 24, 2007 (PrimeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) --
Twelfth Consecutive Quarter of Top Line Growth
Matched Market Share Reaches Record Levels
NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ(r)"; (Nasdaq:NDAQ), today reported third quarter 2007 net income of $365.0 million, or $2.41 per diluted share, an increase of $334.8 million from $30.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2006, and an increase of $308.9 million from $56.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007.
Included in third quarter results are pre-tax gains of $431.4 million associated with NASDAQ's sale of its share capital of the London Stock Exchange Group plc, and $35.2 million related to gains on foreign currency option contracts. Also included in third quarter 2007 results are the following pre-tax charges:
* $19.5 million associated with tax benefits shared with strategic
investors,
* $5.8 million related to the early extinguishment of debt, and
* $1.1 million in workforce reduction expenses.
When excluding these items, net income on a non-GAAP basis was $62.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share.
Revenues less liquidity rebates, brokerage, clearance and exchange fees ("net exchange revenues") were $210.0 million in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 22.7% from $171.2 million in the year-ago period, and up 5.7% from $198.7 million reported in the second quarter of 2007.
"We are pleased to have once again reported record operating results, built largely on the success of new highs in trading volume and market share," commented Bob Greifeld, NASDAQ's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our growth and liquidity has firmly established NASDAQ as the leader in the U.S. equities marketplace, driven largely by the pace at which we introduce new products and services designed to meet the needs of our customers. We know firsthand that working closely with customers to develop innovative products distinguishes NASDAQ from the competition and is a key driver behind our strong financial performance."
Recent Highlights
* NASDAQ expanded its leadership position as the largest single pool
of liquidity in which to trade U.S. listed equities, matching 29.5%
of all volume. NASDAQ also achieved new market share highs in the
trading of NYSE-listed equities, matching a record high 18.0% of
volume during the quarter.
* Announced the proposed acquisition of the Boston Stock Exchange
(BSE), providing NASDAQ with a second exchange license and, subject
to SEC approval, utilization of the BSE Clearing Corporation.
* NASDAQ has agreed to acquire all the shares of OMX that Borse Dubai

subsidiary of Borse Dubai, and an international stock exchange
located in Dubai. Working with DIFX, NASDAQ intends to develop DIFX
into a regional center for capital formation.

Exchange for a $431.4 million pre-tax gain. Of the $1.8 billion in
proceeds generated from the sale, $1.1 billion was used to retire
outstanding debt obligations.

for 144A private placement securities. This market is designed to
encourage capital formation by improving the efficiency and
transparency of the private placement market.

exchange traded funds (ETFs) and Index Linked Notes (ILNs), further
strengthening NASDAQ's leadership position in the U.S. ETF sector.

designed to recognize market makers who offer the highest levels of
quoting and execution quality in NASDAQ-listed securities.
Investors, NASDAQ-listed companies, funds, and prospective public
companies benefit from the Select Market Maker Program through the
ability to identify which firms continuously provide high-quality
liquidity.
* Launched NASDAQ Data Store, which provides online access to
innovative data tools for institutional and individual investors.
NASDAQ was also recognized as the world's premier stock exchange
for data feeds for the second consecutive year in the annual
Waters Rankings.
2007 Outlook
NASDAQ expects the following results for the full-year 2007:
* Net income in the range of $501.0 million to $507.0 million for the
year.

* Total operating expenses in the range of $435.0 million to
$445.0 million.

"We've paid down our INET-bank debt in a little under two years and have $1.3 billion in cash on the balance sheet. Looking forward we will continue to focus on revenue growth and free cash flow generation, while maintaining our strict focus on cost control and leveraging our fixed-cost platform.

======== ======= =======
* Increases in NASDAQ Market Center net exchange revenues from the
prior year quarter are primarily due to increases in trade
execution market share of NYSE- and AMEX-listed equities. Total
NYSE-listed share volume reported to NASDAQ increased from 27.5% in
the third quarter of 2006 to 35.0% in the third quarter of 2007,
while total AMEX-listed share volume reported to NASDAQ increased
from 47.7% to 52.4% for the same period. Increases when compared
to the second quarter are primarily due to higher traded share
volume matched in the NASDAQ Market Center, which increased
19.6% during the quarter. Included in execution and trade
reporting revenues in the third quarter are $94.2 million in SEC
Section 31 fees, compared with $73.1 million in the second quarter
and $45.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. Corresponding cost
of revenues reflecting the reimbursement of these fees to the SEC
are included in brokerage, clearance and exchange fees.
* Market Services Subscriptions revenues increased from the prior
year quarter and second quarter of this year as growth in
subscriber populations drove proprietary and non-proprietary
revenues higher. Also contributing to the increase when compared
to the prior year quarter is a decline in the amount of revenues
shared through NASDAQ Revenue Sharing Programs, which resulted from
changes to the plan structure. Somewhat offsetting these increases
are higher revenues shared with UTP Plan participants due to higher
non-proprietary revenues as well as a decline in NASDAQ's total UTP
market share.
Issuer Services
During the third quarter Issuer Services revenues increased 22.4% to $73.2 million from the prior year quarter and increased 3.5% from prior quarter.

* Increases in Corporate Client Group revenues from prior year are
driven primarily by revised annual renewal fees introduced earlier
this year. Also contributing to the increase are higher revenues
generated within NASDAQ's Corporate Client services, which are due
to recent acquisitions and expanded customer use of services.
Increases from the prior quarter are driven by fees generated from
new listings as well as increasing customer utilization of NASDAQ's
Corporate Client services.
* NASDAQ Financial Products revenues increased from the prior year
quarter and the second quarter due to an increase in fees
associated with NASDAQ-licensed ETFs.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased 22.1% to $126.1 million from $103.3 million in the prior year quarter and increased 26.5% from $99.7 million in the prior quarter. Third quarter 2007 expenses increased from last year and prior quarter primarily due to a pre-tax charge of $19.5 million associated with tax benefits shared with strategic investors and a pre-tax charge of $5.8 million related to the early extinguishment of debt.
Earnings Per Share
Third quarter earnings per diluted share were $2.41 versus $0.22 per diluted share in the prior year quarter, and $0.39 in the second quarter of 2007. NASDAQ's weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share were 152.3 million in the quarter versus 150.8 million in the year-ago quarter and 152.0 million in the second quarter of 2007.
