Deutsche Börse Group achieved a new record result in the first quarter of
financial year 2007. At €543.1 million, sales revenues were up by 17
percent on Q1 2006 (€464.7 million); a further €46.1 million was generated
from net interest income from banking business (Q1/2006: €34.3 million).
Costs in the first quarter included expenses of around €18 million relating
to the departure of Executive Board members and the development and
implementation of a new management structure; an additional amount of
around €33 million was allocated to provisions for the company’s stock
option program due to the steep increase in the price of Deutsche Börse
AG’s shares of 23 percent in the first quarter of 2007. In spite of these
effects, EBITA rose to a new record of €300.3 million in Q1 (Q1/2006:
€257.0 million), up by 17 percent. Earnings per share for the average of
97.6 million outstanding shares rose to €1.97 (Q1/2006: €1.61 for 100.5
million shares).
