There have been the following changes to the basis of consolidation in the period under review compared with the fundamental information about the Group described on pages 92 to 103 of the corporate report 2013.
Due to Deutsche Börse Group's attainment of control over European Energy Exchange AG (EEX), EEX and its subsidiaries have been fully consolidated since 1 January 2014. The revenue and costs generated from EEX have been assigned to the Eurex and Market Data + Services segments since the first quarter of 2014. EEX's earnings are therefore no longer included in the result from equity investments. For Eurex, this means an increase in net revenue from transaction fees and other net revenue on the one hand and higher operating costs on the other. For Market Data + Services, net revenue from the connectivity business has risen; conversely, the revenue from the technology services provided to EEX, which was previously accounted for using the equity method, has ceased.
Likewise, Impendium Systems Ltd., a provider of cloud-based software solutions located in London, has been consolidated since 1 January 2014. Net revenue and costs are reported in the Market Data + Services segment.
Already since 1 July 2013, the revenue and costs generated from trading structured products (certificates and warrants) have been allocated to the Xetra and Market Data + Services segments, after the joint venture with the Swiss exchange organisation SIX, Scoach Holding S.A., was terminated effective 30 June 2013.
The company's business operations and economic and sector-specific environment have not changed significantly compared with the presentation in the 2013 corporate report (pages 103 to 104). The main central banks maintained the strongly expansionary focus of their monetary policy in the first quarter of 2014. The European Central Bank (ECB) left its key interest rate at the historically low level of 0.25 per cent. The Federal Reserve Bank also continued its low interest rate policy. In addition to the central banks' sustained low interest rate policy, low market volatility also continued to dominate trading activity in the first quarter of 2014. The volatility index spiked to any significant extent on only a few isolated trading days; these spikes were short-lived and did not have any lasting effect. The initiatives to regulate the financial markets remain a challenge for the company's business environment, especially in the derivatives market. A lack of clarity surrounding the legal requirements and the impact they will have on market structures and market participants' business models have led to caution among some market participants.
According to its study published in April, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects economic activity to increase by around 1.2 per cent in the euro zone as a whole in 2014 (January 2014: increase of 1.0 per cent) and to expand by around 1.7 per cent in Germany (January 2014: 1.6 per cent). The study forecasts economic growth of around 2.9 per cent in the UK (January 2014: 2.4 per cent) and of around 2.8 per cent in the USA (January 2014: 2.8 per cent). The IMF forecasts the highest growth by far in 2014 – approximately 7 per cent – in Asian countries, and especially China, in anticipation of high domestic demand there. As a result of the divergence in estimates for the different economic regions, global economic growth is projected to be around 3.6 per cent in 2014. Thus, the IMF's study shows that the situation in Europe recovered slightly better than it had been expected at the beginning of the year.
Trading activity trends on Deutsche Börse Group's cash and derivatives markets in the year to date basically correspond to those of other European exchange organisations with similar product portfolios. However, as the situation within the euro zone remains fragile – at present, the European Central Bank is discussing possibilities of further easing its monetary policy –, trading volumes in interest rate derivatives in particular have been below average.
There were no changes in corporate strategy and management in the first quarter. For a comprehensive presentation of them, please refer to the details provided in the 2013 corporate report (pages 116 to 118).
As a service provider, Deutsche Börse Group does not engage in research and development activities comparable with those of manufacturing companies. This section of the report has therefore been omitted.
In the cash market, there seems to be a gradual return of investor confidence in the stable long-term growth of the euro zone. Capital that had been withdrawn from some European countries and invested in the USA or Asia as a result of the euro currency crisis and the debt crisis returned to Europe and led to a significant increase in trading activity in the cash market. So far, the derivatives market has failed to benefit from this development, as the market environment created by the central banks' sustained low interest rate policy and low stock market volatility prevented the cyclical business drivers from having a similar effect here as, for example, in the USA, prompting trading participants to place trading orders more cautiously, as in the previous year. The business of Clearstream, the segment responsible for posttrade activities, is recording a continuous upward trend especially through acquiring major customers. In particular due to the Liquidity Hub and an advanced strategy regarding the creation of a common settlement platform for the euro zone, TARGET2-Securities (T2S), Clearstream sees itself as extremely well positioned to enable customers to utilise collateral efficiently. In addition, Clearstream is able to score points in global securities financing with its liquidity management services, which allow banks to deploy their capital as efficiently as possible. Deutsche Börse Group's technology and market data business (Market Data + Services segment) shows significant upswing in the index business.
In total, Deutsche Börse Group's net revenue rose by 6 per cent year-on-year to €514.2 million in Q1/2014 (Q1/2013: €484.3 million). In addition to the slightly improved business environment, the positive development is also due to the consolidation of EEX and Impendium Systems in Q1/2014 as well as of Scoach Holding S.A. in the third quarter of 2013. Without these consolidation effects in the amount of €20.2 million, net revenue increased by 2 per cent. Net revenue is composed of sales revenue plus net interest income from banking business and other operating income, less volume-related costs.
In an environment of persistently low interest rates, a rise in average overnight customer deposits led to a slight increase, to €8.4 million, in net interest income from banking business generated in the Clearstream segment in Q1/2014 (Q1/2013: €8.2 million).
Operating costs amounted to €247.8 million, significantly down year-on-year (Q1/2013: €295.3 million), because this had included costs for one-off items, notably efficiency programmes, totalling €65.8 million. One-off items amounted to €4.4 million in Q1/2014. Adjusted for these, operating costs were €13.9 million higher than in Q1/2013. This increase is due to the abovementioned consolidation effects of €12.2 million (see section "Changes to the basis of consolidation") and higher investments in growth initiatives.
The result from equity investments amounted to €63.5 million (Q1/2013: €3.0 million). The significant increase is attributable to non-recurring income of €62.7 million in connection with the merger of Direct Edge Holdings, LLC (Direct Edge) and BATS Global Markets, Inc. (BATS) at the end of January 2014. The revaluation of the existing shares in Direct Edge, in which Deutsche Börse Group held around 32 per cent via its subsidiary ISE, resulted in a gain of €46.5 million. In addition, the Group received a special dividend of €16.2 million after the transaction had been completed. Adjusted for these factors, the result from equity investments amounted to €0.8 million.
The growth in net revenue and decrease of operating costs, and in particular the non-recurring income in connection with the revaluation of the existing shares in Direct Edge, lifted EBIT to €329.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1/2013: €192.0 million). Adjusted for non-recurring cost items (efficiency programmes) and for non-recurring items in the result from equity investments, EBIT in Q1/2014 was €271.6 million (Q1/2013: €257.8 million).
The Group's financial result for the first quarter of 2014 improved to €–10.9 million (Q1/2013: €–23.2 million) primarily due to the favourable refinancing of non-current financial liabilities completed in 2013.
The tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 was 26.0 per cent (Q1/2013: 26.0 per cent), adjusted for nonrecurring income related to the merger of Direct Edge and BATS.
Consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2014 amounted to €219.0 million (Q1/2013: €121.2 million). Adjusted for the aforementioned non-recurring items, net income increased by 9 per cent to €184.7 million (Q1/2013: €169.9 million).
Basic earnings per share, based on the weighted average of 184.1 million shares outstanding, improved to €1.19 in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1/2013: €0.66 for 184.1 million shares outstanding); adjusted €1.00 (Q1/2013: €0.92).
Deutsche Börse Group's business performance in the first quarter of 2014 confirms the statements made in the report on expected developments on pages 171 to 182 of the 2013 corporate report. On the basis of net revenue, EBIT and consolidated net income generated in the first quarter of 2014, Deutsche Börse Group is currently in the upper half of the respective forecast ranges. A sequential increase in operating costs is expected in each quarter of the current year. They will rise firstly for seasonal reasons in the fourth quarter, and secondly due to the planned investments in growth initiatives, which will have a greater impact on costs as the year progresses. For this reason, the Group confirms its operating costs forecast for 2014.

As EEX has been consolidated since the first quarter of 2014, transaction fees as well as other revenue and costs are reported in the Eurex segment.
The derivatives market environment in the first quarter of 2014 remained largely unchanged compared with the previous year: uncertainty about the effects of regulatory initiatives, comparatively low stock market volatility, low inflation (in some cases with deflationary tendencies), persistently low interest rates and no prospect of changes in interest rates. Against this background, demand for hedging and trading activities by participants on the European derivatives exchanges declined year-on-year. The number of European futures and options contracts traded on Eurex declined by 6 per cent to 378.6 million contracts (Q1/2013: 401.3 million). Including the International Securities Exchange (ISE), which showed a stable year-on-year development of traded contracts in the first quarter of 2014, the trading volume was 541.1 million contracts (Q1/2013: 558.4 million).
In spite of the continuing difficult derivatives market environment, Eurex slightly increased the trading volume of the equity index derivatives traded in Europe; the number of contracts traded rose by 5 per cent to 180.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1/2013: 171.9 million). This means that equity index derivatives are the highest-volume product group on the Eurex derivatives exchange. Higher volatility on individual trading days led to more active trading of equity index derivatives, which in turn resulted in an overall increase in the first quarter. Eurex set new monthly and quarterly records with futures and options on RDX, the Russian Depositary Index, and in trading of the Eurex KOSPI product since the minimum contract size was changed in June 2012.
Trading volumes for European interest rate derivatives fell year-on-year to 127.0 million contracts in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1/2013: 143.8 million). In the prior-year quarter, the expectation that the European Central Bank would adjust key interest rates had led to comparatively high volumes for interest rate derivatives; this accounts for the 12 per cent fall in volume. By comparison, the number of interest rate derivatives traded in the first quarter of 2014 was up on the previous two quarters.
Volumes in the equity derivatives product group were down 17 per cent to 68.7 million contracts in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1/2013: 82.9 million).
Dividend derivatives continued their positive performance, reaching the highest level in a quarter since they were launched. At 2.7 million contracts in the first quarter of 2014, the number of traded contracts rose by 42 per cent on the prior year (Q1/2013: 1.9 million).
Breakdown of net revenue in the Eurex segment
The number of US options contracts on ISE increased slightly by 3 per cent in the first quarter of 2014 to 162.5 million (Q1/2013: 157.1 million). ISE's US equity options market share was 16.5 per cent (Q1/2013: 17.3 per cent). Gemini, the ISE marketplace geared primarily towards the trading requirements of private investors, has now firmly established itself among the trading platforms for US options.
As a consequence of its majority interest in EEX, Deutsche Börse Group has attained the majority in EEX's supervisory board. Therefore, EEX has become a fully consolidated subsidiary since 1 January 2014. Eurex has thus further diversified its product offering and now offers, among others, commodities derivatives. EEX is the leading European energy exchange and marketplace for power derivatives, natural gas and CO2 emission allowances on the derivatives and spot markets, as well as for coal and Guarantees of Origin (i.e. certificates which can be used for disclosure purposes, e.g. to prove that a consumed MWh was generated from renewable sources). Furthermore, EEX plans to further expand both its portfolio and its reach and therefore in Q1/2014 acquired a majority interest in Cleartrade Exchange, a Singapore-based futures exchange founded in 2010. In cooperation with Cleartrade, EEX will create a joint global product offering in the commodities area. In the first quarter, the total volume in power trading was 350.3 TWh, an increase of 5 per cent (Q1/2013: 333.3 TWh). Trading of gas products increased by 117 per cent to 121.7 TWh (Q1/2013: 56.2 TWh). In emission rights trading, 223.6 tonnes of CO2 were traded, an increase of 14 per cent on the corresponding quarter in the previous year (Q1/2013: 195.6 t CO2 ).

4) Average outstanding volume on Eurex Repo® (single-counted) In the first quarter of 2014, the average outstanding volume on Eurex Repo, the marketplace for the collateralised money market in Swiss francs and euros as well as for the GC Pooling® (General Collateral Pooling) offering, increased by 5 per cent to €216.7 billion (Q1/2013: €207.1 billion, single-counted for both periods). Demand for collateralised money-market transactions led to a positive trend in the euro market due to continued uncertainty concerning the assessment of counterparty risk in the unsecured money market. Here, the average outstanding volume increased by 39 per cent to €39.8 billion (Q1/2013: €28.6 billion). In the GC Pooling collateralised money market, average outstanding volumes were €148.7 billion, up 2 per cent on the prior-year quarter (Q1/2013: €145.6 billion, single-counted for both periods).
EurexOTC Clear, the Eurex clearing offering for over-the-counter interest rate swaps, gained more new mem-bers, with leading national and international banks and asset managers ABN Amro Clearing, BNP Paribas, Morgan Stanley and Union Investment joining in the first quarter. The total number of clearing members as at 31 March 2014 was 32; in total, around 120 customers have signed up for a connection. By being connected to EurexOTC Clear, market participants can clear OTC derivatives in advance of the introduction of a clearing obligation for these financial instruments when the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) is implemented.
In this context Eurex Clearing, Deutsche Börse Group's clearing house, was authorised on 10 April to be a clearing house in accordance with the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) by its national competent authority BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority). The authorisation confirms that Eurex Clearing is fully EMIR compliant. Therefore, Eurex Clearing can already provide its members services needed to meet the upcoming clearing obligation for derivatives in Europe.
Deutsche Börse Group's cash market has had a strong first quarter of 2014. After investors had withdrawn capital from Europe and invested it primarily in the USA and Asia in the wake of the euro crisis and the debt crisis experienced by some European states, they are now investing more in Europe again. This return of capital is also reflected in the German equity market, which is viewed by investors as a safe and reliable market. The daily trading volume on Xetra® increased by 22 per cent year-on-year to €316.3 billion (Q1/2013: €260.3 billion). In the first quarter of 2014, the number of Xetra transactions increased by 20 per cent year-on-year to 55.5 million (Q1/2013: 46.2 million). The average value per transaction was €11.4 thousand (Q1/2013: €11.3 thousand). The Xetra segment generated a total of €28.2 million in net revenue from trading (Q1/2013: €21.8 million). The net revenue of the central counterparty for equities increased year-on-year in the first quarter of 2014, to €8.2 million (Q1/2013: €7.1 million). Other net revenue declined to €7.1 million (Q1/2013: €7.7 million).
With a trading volume of €15.6 billion in the first quarter of 2014, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange saw an increase of 54 per cent as against the previous year (Q1/2013: €10.1 billion). Due to the termination of the Scoach joint venture with SIX Swiss Exchange, the certificates and warrants traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange – amounting to €4.7 billion – have been included in calculating the volumes since the beginning of the third quarter of 2013.
On Tradegate Exchange, which is operated by a company in which Deutsche Börse holds a majority interest, investors traded securities with a volume of €15.7 billion in the first quarter of 2014, a 50 per cent increase year-on-year (Q1/2013: €10.5 billion).
Deutsche Börse operates Europe's leading marketplace for exchange-traded funds (ETFs). As at 31 March 2014, a total of 1,018 ETFs were listed on Deutsche Börse (31 March 2013: 1,030 ETFs), meaning that it offers by far the largest selection of ETFs of all the European exchanges. The assets under management held by ETF issuers reached a new record high of €236.7 billion (Q1/2013: €208.0 billion). The segment's trading volume increased by 8 per cent to €33.8 billion in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1/2013: €31.2 billion). Deutsche Börse's European market share continues to lead the market, at 32 per cent (Q1/2013: 33 per cent).
Besides the marketplace for ETFs, Deutsche Börse operates a segment for exchange-traded commodities (ETCs). Xetra-Gold® , a physically backed bearer bond issued by Deutsche Börse Commodities GmbH, is the most successful ETC product. In the first quarter of 2014, the falling gold price and lower demand from the private investor sector led to a decline in the volume held. At the end of the first quarter of 2014, Deutsche Börse Group held 46.4 tonnes of gold in custody (31 March 2013: 53.7 tonnes). Due to the slide in gold prices at the same time, the value was equivalent to €1.4 billion (31 March 2013: €2.2 billion).
In the listing business, Deutsche Börse recorded two new admissions in the first quarter of 2014: in both cases, these were technical listings without a public offer. Furthermore, 27 companies implemented a capital increase; the placement volume amounted to around €1 billion. Additionally, two companies used the option of issuing corporate bonds in the Entry Standard for bonds. The issue volume as given in the prospectuses amounted to a total of €60 million.
In February, Deutsche Börse acquired, for a sum in the lower single-digit millions (sterling), a minority interest in UK company Bondcube Limited, which is developing an innovative trading system for fixedincome securities.

The average value of assets under custody in the first quarter of 2014 increased to €12.0 trillion (Q1/2013: €11.4 trillion). This was due on the one hand to the sustained price gains of equities on the German domestic market, which showed an increase in assets under custody, to €5.7 trillion in Q1/2014 (Q1/2013: €5.4 trillion). On the other hand, international assets under custody in the first quarter of 2014 were at €6.4 trillion, 5 per cent above last year (Q1/2013: €6.0 trillion). Customer gains contributed to this growth. Net revenue in the custody business increased slightly to €84.2 million for Q1/2014 (Q1/2013: €82.8 million).
The number of settlement transactions processed by Clearstream increased by 9 per cent to 33.1 million (Q1/2013: 30.3 million). This increase is due to higher trading activity by market participants in the first quarter of 2014. Totalling 11.4 million transactions, Clearstream's international settlement activity for the first quarter of 2014 was 11 per cent higher than in the prior-year quarter (Q1/2013: 10.3 million). Settlement of international off-exchange (over-the-counter, OTC) transactions increased by 8 per cent to 9.2 million (Q1/2013: 8.5 million), thus accounting for 81 per cent of all international transactions. Settlement of stock exchange transactions went up by 22 per cent to 2.2 million (Q1/2013: 1.8 million), thus accounting for 19 per cent of all international transactions. In the domestic business, settlement transactions went up by 9 per cent to 21.7 million for first quarter (Q1/2013: 20.0 million), due to higher trading activity of German retail investors. Here, 65 per cent were stock-exchange transactions and 35 per cent OTC transactions. Stock-exchange transactions increased to 14.2 million (Q1/2013: 13.1 million), and OTC transactions rose to 7.5 million (Q1/2013: 6.9 million). Net revenue in the settlement business went up by 23 per cent in the first quarter of 2014, to €32.6 million (Q1/2013: €26.5 million). The difference in growth rates between volume and sales is due to temporary additional fees, introduced on 1 April 2013, to cover connectivity costs to TARGET2-Securities (T2S).
The success of Investment Funds Services contributed positively to the custody and settlement business. In the first quarter of 2014, Clearstream processed 2.2 million transactions, a 16 per cent increase over the previous year (Q1/2013: 1.9 million). The average value of investment funds under custody for the first quarter of 2014 was €294.3 billion, 17 per cent higher than last year (Q1/2013: €250.9 billion).

1) Contains approximately €1.2 billion (Q1/2013: €1.3 billion) currently restricted by relevant EU and US sanction programmes
Within the Global Securities Financing (GSF) business, which includes triparty repo, securities lending and collateral management, average outstandings increased year-on-year to €580.0 million (Q1/2013: €562.8 million). The diversified product mix ensured a higher growth of total net revenue in the GSF business, which was up by 19 per cent to €15.7 million in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1/2013: €13.2 million).
Overnight customer cash deposits increased in the first quarter of 2014 to reach an average of €11.3 billion (Q1/2013: €10.8 billion). Adjusted for assets restricted by relevant EU and US sanction programmes, customer cash deposits increased to €10.1 billion (Q1/2013: €9.5 billion). Net interest income from Clearstream's banking business rose by 2 per cent to €8.4 million in Q1/2014 (Q1/2013: €8.2 million). The comparatively low net interest income reflects the sustained low levels of interest rates.
In the first quarter, Clearstream stepped up the strategically important expansion of its service offering as part of TARGET2-Securities (T2S). T2S is the European Central Bank's pan-European settlement platform, to which Clearstream will be connected in 2016 – a total of 24 central securities depositories in the euro zone will use T2S. Clearstream would like to enhance T2S beyond the actual added value offered by the platform and announced in January that it intended to settle a large number of additional assets (including eurobonds) via T2S. The aim is to facilitate more efficient settlement for customers via T2S across a wide range of asset classes. In addition to settlement, Clearstream aims to use T2S to change its approach to servicing assets. In March, the company signed an agreement with custodian banks BNP Paribas Securities Services, Intensa Sanpaolo, BBVA, Citi and Erste Bank, which will improve the servicing of assets held with Clearstream in the T2S market environment. This will be achieved through proximity to the respective domestic markets and detailed knowledge of local market practices.
In the area of collateral management, Clearstream signed a letter of intent with Norwegian central securities depository Verdipapirsentralen ASA (VPS) in February. After Brazil, Australia, South Africa, Spain, Canada and Singapore, Norway is now the seventh market in which Clearstream technology will be used. In March, Clearstream also positioned a bilateral collateral management product, OTC Collateral, on the market. OTC Collateral leads to a significant increase in the service offering for OTC transactions and will help customers to overcome collateral fragmentation and to optimise allocation by including the option to cover OTC, triparty and central counterparty (CCP) risk positions from a single collateral pool, Clearstream's Global Liquidity Hub.
In February, Clearstream also formalised its market approach for supporting the internationalisation of the renminbi. Among other things, this aims to allow foreign investors to invest in the Chinese currency, to improve the liquidity of the offshore RMB through suitable solutions, to increase the scope of RMB products and services, and to contribute to the growth and maturity of the RMB bond market.
The trading signals business declined slightly in the tense market environment in the first quarter of 2014: current efforts to regulate automated trading more tightly are leading to uncertainty in the trading departments of banks and financial services institutions. In addition, user numbers are declining due to structural changes in the financial services industry. Net revenue fell slightly in the first quarter of 2014
compared with the prior-year quarter to €34.1 million (Q1/2013: €36.0 million). In order to give its subscribers more options, the segment further diversified the machine-readable data on offer. Trading participants can now adjust their algorithmic trading strategies in time and fine-tune their risk management. The "Order by Order" information product provides full transparency for the most important Eurex futures. It offers complete insight into the Eurex order book, which consists of some 150 instruments. The detailed trading and order book data benefits institutional investors who depend on extremely granular market data for implementing their trading strategies.
Deutsche Börse operates its index business via its subsidiary STOXX Ltd. It generates its revenue from calculating and marketing indices and benchmarks that are used by banks and fund management companies mainly as underlyings for financial instruments. The index business grew in the first quarter of 2014; net revenue increased to €22.0 million (Q1/2013: €19.4 million). The licensing revenue for these products increased owing to the improved market trends in equity index derivatives trading on Eurex and the increase in ETF-managed assets. In order to further internationalise its business, Deutsche Börse licensed its blue-chip DAX index to a Japanese fund management company. This company launched a passive investment fund that replicates the performance of the DAX. This makes it easier for Japanese investors to invest in the DAX, the barometer for economic activity in Germany, and to participate in its performance.
Net revenue from the external technology solutions business fell to €12.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1/2013: €15.2 million). This can be attributed primarily to the consolidation of EEX from the first quarter of 2014 and of Scoach from the third quarter of 2013, as a result of which external revenue in the amount of €2.2 million for EEX- and respectively Scoach-related services in the Technology Solutions business area was no longer recognised. On the other hand, connectivity income generated by EEX with external customers is now recognised following the consolidation of the subsidiary as at 1 January 2014 in the Connectivity business area of the Market Data + Services segment; this amounted to €1.5 million. In total, these two effects reduced the segment's net revenue in the first quarter of 2014 by some €0.7 million.
Breakdown of net revenue in the Market Data + Services segment
The Market Data + Services segment generates connectivity revenue from connecting trading participants on the cash and the derivatives markets, from users of the data services and from customers of the technology solutions. This revenue depends on the bandwidth connections required for the services in question. Through the further development of data services, e.g. the introduction of the bandwidthintensive "Order-by-Order" product and the new connectivity formats for derivatives trading platform T7, which was launched last year, as well as additional net revenue owing to the consolidation of EEX and Scoach (see above), connectivity revenue increased to €19.2 million in the first quarter of the year (Q1/2013: €16.5 million).
Other revenue comprises the provision of data to the back offices of financial services providers (e.g. the TRICE® reporting service), among other things. This amounted to €5.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 and was therefore above the prior-year level (Q1/2013: €4.4 million). In order to expand its business with information services for regulatory reporting compliance, Deutsche Börse acquired London-based software provider Impendium Services for a sum in the single-digit millions. Impendium assists customers in complying with regulatory requirements in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region. The transaction is part of Deutsche Börse's growth strategy, which aims to offer software tools that help customers to cope with the increasing flood of data on the financial markets and thus to automate related business processes.
Deutsche Börse Group generated cash flow from operating activities before changes in reporting daterelated CCP positions of €53.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1/2013: €146.3 million). The decrease is in particular due to a payment of US\$151.9 million in connection with a settlement the Group entered into with OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control). Including the changes in the CCP positions, cash flow from operating activities was €56.7 million (Q1/2013: €41.4 million). The change in cash flows from operating activities before changes in reporting date-related CCP positions can be explained as follows:
Cash inflows from investing activities amounted to €571.7 million in Q1/2014 (Q1/2013: cash outflows of €32.8 million). The increase can primarily be attributed to the following changes:
Cash outflows from financing activities amounted to €10.1 million (Q1/2013: cash inflows of €593.3 million). They resulted from commercial paper being issued in an amount of €89.9 million (Q1/2013: nil) and commercial paper maturing in an amount of €100.0 million (Q1/2013: nil).
In March 2013, Deutsche Börse AG had issued a euro-denominated bond with a term of five years and a principal amount of €600.0 million.
Cash and cash equivalents as at 31 March 2014 thus amounted to €562.5 million (31 March 2013: €1,147.7 million).
As a rule, the Group aims to achieve a dividend distribution ratio of 40 to 60 per cent of adjusted consolidated net income. Moreover, it implements share buy-backs in order to distribute to its shareholders funds not required for the company's operating business and its further development. This policy is determined at all times by the company's capital requirements, which depend on the legal and regulatory framework as well as its credit rating, economic capital and liquidity needs.
Customers of the company expect to have conservative interest coverage and debt/equity ratios and to maintain strong credit ratings. Deutsche Börse Group therefore continues to pursue its objective of achieving an interest coverage ratio (ratio of EBITDA to interest expenses from financing activities) of at least 16 at Group level in order to meet the rating agencies' current requirements for an "AA" rating for Deutsche Börse AG. Deutsche Börse Group met this objective in Q1/2014, achieving an interest coverage ratio of 28.4 (Q1/2013: 15.8). This figure is based on a relevant interest expense of €10.6 million and an adjusted EBITDA of €300.8 million. Due to the successful refinancing accomplished in 2013, interest expense decreased significantly year-on-year. This again had a positive impact on the interest coverage ratio. In addition, Deutsche Börse aims to achieve a ratio of interest-bearing gross debt to EBITDA of no more than 1.5 at Group level. This performance indicator also plays a material role in maintaining the parent company's current "AA" rating. In the first quarter, the Group met the target ratio, at 1.3. This figure is based on gross debt of €1,612.6 million and an adjusted EBITDA of €300.8 million.
Moreover, to ensure the continued success of the Clearstream segment, which is active in securities custody and settlement, the company aims to retain Clearstream Banking S.A.'s strong "AA" credit rating. Deutsche Börse AG also needs to maintain a strong credit profile to support activities at its Eurex Clearing AG subsidiary.
For financial year 2013, Deutsche Börse AG is proposing to the Annual General Meeting to resolve payment of a dividend of €2.10 per no-par value share (financial year 2012: €2.10). This proposal represents a distribution ratio of 61 per cent, adjusted for merger and acquisition costs, as well as efficiency programme costs (2012: 58 per cent, adjusted for merger and acquisition costs, efficiency programme costs and income from the remeasurement of the equity component of the purchase price for the acquisition of the shares of Eurex Zürich AG held by SIX Group AG). For 184.1 million dividend-bearing no-par value shares, this would result in a total dividend of €386.6 million (2012: €386.5 million).
As at 31 March 2014, Deutsche Börse Group's non-current assets amounted to €11,605.7 million (31 March 2013: €5,082.0 million). They consisted primarily of intangible assets and financial assets as well as of financial instruments of its central counterparties. Intangible assets primarily included goodwill of €2,084.0 million (31 March 2013: €2,106.8 million) and other intangible assets of €923.0 million (31 March 2013: €890.7 million). Non-current receivables and securities from banking business of €1,271.9 million (31 March 2013: €1,418.3 million) accounted for the largest part of financial assets, which amounted to €1,523.9 million as at the balance sheet date (31 March 2013: €1,678.0 million). Non-current assets were matched by equity of €3,561.0 million (31 March 2013: €3,312.8 million). Non-current liabilities totalling €8,644.6 million (31 March 2013: €2,052.0 million) mainly related to financial instruments of the central counterparties amounting to €6,633.1 million (31 March 2013: nil), which are reported separately from the current financial instruments of Eurex Clearing AG due to a maturity of more than three months, interest-bearing liabilities of €1,522.7 million (31 March 2013: €1,545.3 million) as well as deferred tax liabilities of €289.9 million (31 March 2013: €297.1 million).
Among other things, changes in current liabilities were the result of the increase in liabilities from banking business to €15,541.3 million (31 March 2013: €14,175.2 million). Commercial paper amounting to nominally €90.0 million was outstanding as at the end of the first quarter of 2014 (31 March 2013: nil).
On 23 April 2014, Deutsche Börse announced that its subsidiary Clearstream and Citco have signed an agreement for the purchase of Citco's Financial Institution Hedge Fund custody processing business to Clearstream. The purchase price amounts to a sum in the mid double digit million euro range. The deal allows Clearstream to significantly expand its hedge fund services for financial institutions.
The acquisition of Citco Global Securities Services' (CGSS) hedge fund custody infrastructure adds around 300 CGSS employees to Clearstream and licences Clearstream to use Citco's custody IT infrastructure. The two companies will ensure the takeover takes place in a gradual way in order to ensure a smooth transition.
Deutsche Börse Group provides detailed information on its operating environment, strategy, principles, organisation, processes, methods and concepts of its risk management in its 2013 corporate report.
The assessment of operational, financial, business and project-related risks did not change significantly in the period under review.
Operational risks for Deutsche Börse Group relate to availability, processing, material goods, as well as litigation and business practice. Further information concerning operational risk and the measures to mitigate them can be found in Deutsche Börse Group's corporate report 2013 on pages 153 to 158.
In its 2013 corporate report, Deutsche Börse Group informed about proceedings initiated by various US plaintiffs on 30 December 2013 seeking the surrender of certain positions claimed to be held for Bank Markazi in Luxembourg. No claims for damages were asserted against Clearstream in these proceedings.
On 26 November 2012, the insolvency administrator of Lehman Brothers Bankhaus AG (LBB AG), Dr Michael C. Frege, brought an action against Eurex Clearing AG before the Frankfurt/Main Regional Court. On the basis of German insolvency law, Dr Frege is demanding from Eurex Clearing AG the repayment of €113.5 million and payment of another amount of around €1.0 million plus interest of 5 percentage points above the base rate accrued on the total amount since 13 November 2008. Eurex Clearing AG considers the claim unfounded and is defending itself against the insolvency administrator's action. On 14 March 2014, the insolvency administrator and Eurex Clearing signed an irrevocable settlement stating that they would each waive all claims arising from their previous legal relationship. As a result, the insolvency administrator withdrew the claim.
On 12 November 2012, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) filed a patent infringement law suit against the International Securities Exchange (ISE) (the "CBOE Litigation"). In the CBOE Litigation, CBOE alleges US\$525 million in damages for infringement of three patents, which relate to systems and methods for limiting market-maker risk. ISE believes that CBOE's damages claim lacks merit because it is unsupported by the facts and the law. ISE intends to vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit. Upon ISE's motion, the case was recently transferred to the competent courts of New York City.
In November 2006, ISE itself filed a patent infringement lawsuit against CBOE (the "ISE Litigation"). In the ISE Litigation, as of December 2012, ISE alleged US\$475 million in damages for infringement of ISE's patent which relates to systems and methods for operating an automated exchange. The ISE Litigation was scheduled for trial in March 2013. However, in the course of the pre-trial motions, some of the decisions of the trial judge establishing ISE's burden of proof to succeed in trial, were extremely adverse to ISE. As a result, ISE believed that it could not prove its case of infringement, and therefore determined to move straight to an appeal of those rulings and forego a trial. On 12 April 2013, ISE filed an appeal of the rulings with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CFAC"). On 7 April 2014, the CFAC affirmed in part and reversed in part the rulings of the trial court, but the net result is that ISE does not have a viable case left in the matter. On 17 April, ISE filed with the CFAC a petition for rehearing. ISE expects a decision on the petition for rehearing in Q2/2014.
On 2 April 2014, Deutsche Börse AG announced ad hoc that Clearstream Banking S.A. has been informed by its U.S. counsels, that the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York has made Clearstream subject of criminal investigation in connection with alleged violations of U.S. money laundering and Iran sanction laws. Currently, while Clearstream is cooperating with the U.S. Attorney, the investigation is in a very early stage.
Deutsche Börse Group is exposed to financial risks mainly in the form of credit risk and liquidity risk in the financial institutes Clearstream Holding group and Eurex Clearing AG. In addition, the Group's cash investments and receivables are subject to credit risk. The majority of cash investments involve shortterm transactions that are collateralised, thus minimising liquidity risk as well as market risk from cash investments. Market risk is immaterial for the entire Group. Further information on financial risks can be found on pages 158 to 164 of the 2013 corporate report.
Business risk reflects the sensitivity of the Group to macroeconomic developments and its vulnerability to event risk, such as regulatory initiatives or changes in the competitive environment. In addition, it includes the Group's strategic risk, which relates to the impact of risk on the business strategy and any resulting adjustment to the strategy. Furthermore, external factors such as the performance and volatility of the capital markets or a lack of investor confidence in the financial markets may impact financial performance. Further information concerning business risks can be found in the 2013 corporate report on pages 164 and 165.
Currently, the Group is pursuing several major projects. These are constantly monitored to identify risks at an early stage and enable appropriate countermeasures to be taken. Further information concerning project risks can be found in the 2013 corporate report on page 165.
The Group evaluates its risk situation on an ongoing basis. Taking into account the stress test calculations performed, the required economic capital and earnings at risk as well as the risk management system, which it considers to be effective, the Executive Board of Deutsche Börse AG is of the opinion that the risk-bearing capacity of the Group is sufficient. A significant change in the Group's risk profile cannot be identified at present.
Deutsche Börse Group's management of opportunities aims to identify and assess opportunities as early as possible and to initiate appropriate measures in order to take advantage of opportunities and transform them into business success. At present the Executive Board cannot identify any significant change in the Group's opportunities that were described in detail in the 2013 corporate report on pages 177 to 180. As part of its growth strategy, Deutsche Börse Group has already reached two milestones relating to the structural growth opportunities described in the corporate report.
On 10 April, Eurex Clearing, Deutsche Börse Group's clearing house, received a clearing house licence in accordance with EMIR from the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin, the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority). The granting of the licence confirms full compliance of Eurex Clearing's clearing services with the EMIR rules. This means that Eurex Clearing can already provide services to its participants to help them prepare for the impending clearing obligation for derivatives.
At the end of March, Deutsche Börse and Bank of China announced their strategic cooperation in Berlin in the presence of Chinese President Xi Jinping and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The strategic partnership will see Bank of China become a trading and clearing member of Deutsche Börse Group and will give Chinese issuers and Asian investors direct access to the German and European capital markets. The extended cooperation is an important milestone in the further implementation of Deutsche Börse Group's corporate strategy, which has identified the Asia-Pacific region as one of its focal points. The agreement also calls on the two companies to develop the financial infrastructure needed to underpin further cooperation between China and Germany and to support the internationalisation of the renminbi by promoting Frankfurt/Main as the European offshore centre for the currency. In addition to the cooperation between Deutsche Börse and Bank of China, it was also announced that the financial centre of Frankfurt would in future be the only venue in the euro zone where trades in the Chinese currency, the renminbi, can be settled. A memorandum of understanding detailing the clearing of payments denominated in renminbi was signed by the Bundesbank and the PRC's central bank, the People's Bank of China.
The report on expected developments describes how Deutsche Börse Group is expected to perform in financial year 2014. It contains statements and information on events in the future. These forwardlooking statements and information are based on the company's expectations and assumptions at the time of publication of this report. In turn, these are subject to known and unknown opportunities, risks and uncertainties. Numerous factors influence the Group's success, its business strategy and financial results. Many of these factors are outside the company's control. Should opportunities, risks, or uncertainties materialise or one of the assumptions made turn out to be incorrect, the actual development of the Group could deviate either positively or negatively from the expectations and assumptions contained in the forward-looking statements and information contained in this report on expected developments.
Deutsche Börse Group is not planning any fundamental change to its operating policies in the coming years. At present, the Executive Board cannot identify any deviation from the forecast described in detail on pages 171 to 182 of the corporate report 2013.
For the remainder of financial year 2014, Deutsche Börse Group does not expect any material deviation from the forecasts for its operating environment made in its 2013 consolidated financial statements.
For the forecast period, the uncertainty about the future behaviour of capital market participants continues to make specific forecasts of the results of operations difficult. As part of its budget planning process, the company has therefore developed different possible scenarios for its results of operations in 2014 and has published them on pages 178 to 179 of the corporate report 2013.
However, as at the publication date of this Group interim management report, the company expects that special factors affecting operating costs will increase by €10 million to some €30 million, owing to the acquisition of Citco Global Securities Services announced in April 2014.
The company expects cash flows from operating activities to remain clearly positive in the future; these are Deutsche Börse Group's main financing instrument. The company plans to invest amounts of around €150 million per year in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment during the forecast period on a consolidated basis. The investments will serve primarily to develop new products and services in the Eurex and Clearstream segments and enhance existing ones. The total mainly comprises investments in the trading infrastructure and risk management functionalities.
As a rule, the Group aims to achieve a dividend distribution ratio of 40 to 60 per cent of adjusted consolidated net income. Moreover, it implements share buy-backs in order to distribute to its shareholders funds not required for the Group's operating business and its further development. This policy is determined at all times by the company's capital requirements, which depend on the legal and supervisory framework as well as requirements relating to its credit rating, economic capital and liquidity.
