Deutsche Börse AG published its figures for the first quarter of 2011 on
Thursday. Sales revenue rose by 8 percent year-on-year to EUR558.6 million
due to the positive business development in all segments. At the same time,
the Group again reduced its total costs. At EUR271.3 million, expenses were
down 9 percent on the prior-year period. Earnings per share increased 36
percent to EUR1.14 (Q1/2010: EUR0.84 per share).

In addition, the Company announced that it was accelerating the efficiency
measures that have been running since 2010. The full cost effects of EUR150
million per year will now be reached from 2012 onwards, instead of 2013 as
originally planned. For 2011, the Group is expecting savings of EUR115
million instead of the budgeted figure of EUR85 million. Thanks to its
strict cost discipline in the first quarter and the accelerated
implementation of its efficiency measures, Deutsche Börse is cutting its
operating cost guidance for 2011 by EUR35 million to EUR890 million.
