NEW YORK, July 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today reported strong revenue results for the second quarter of 2016. Second quarter net revenues were $559 million, up $41 million or 8% from $518 million in the prior year period, driven by a $24 million positive impact from acquisitions, a $14 million positive impact from operations, and a $3 million positive impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.
“Nasdaq has experienced broad-based demand for our distinctive technology, services and solutions, resulting in continued organic growth from each of our business segments,” said Bob Greifeld, CEO, Nasdaq. “Further, we are successfully integrating the recently closed acquisitions, which we expect to provide another lever of return for our shareholders as we drive operational synergies and deliver ever increasing value for our clients.”
Mr. Greifeld continued, “Material expansion in the SMARTS surveillance product’s customer base, the acquisition of the ISE, giving Nasdaq unique scale in U.S. options, exceptional growth in Nordic listings, and the accelerating migration of corporate customers onto the IR Insights platform stand out as second quarter developments which will pay meaningful dividends in future periods.”
Operating expenses were $385 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $84 million from $301 million in the second quarter of 2015. The increase primarily reflected higher merger and strategic initiatives expense of $32 million, higher restructuring charges of $31 million and $15 million in incremental expenses from the acquisitions of Nasdaq CXC, formerly Chi-X Canada (February 2016), Marketwired (February 2016), and Boardvantage (May 2016). Non-GAAP operating expenses were $300 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $19 million from $281 million in the second quarter of 2015. This increase reflected $15 million in incremental expenses from the acquisitions closed in 2016 as well as $4 million in organic growth.
“During the quarter we were able to raise over $1 billion in acquisition financing at favorable rates while also reducing FX exposure. As I transition over the CFO responsibilities, I believe the company’s capital and financial position are in excellent condition,” said Ron Hassen, Principal Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Nasdaq.
“I’m excited to join the Nasdaq team at an especially interesting time, and look forward to bringing new perspectives and ideas that can contribute to execution of the company’s strategy. In the near-term, this includes a particular focus on ensuring that the acquisition integrations succeed in delivering maximum benefits to clients and shareholders,” said Michael Ptasznik, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Nasdaq.
Net income attributable to Nasdaq for the second quarter of 2016 was $70 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared with $133 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, net income attributable to Nasdaq for the second quarter of 2016 was $153 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, compared with $143 million or $0.83 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $10 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
The company repurchased 256,808 shares for $16 million in the second quarter of 2016 at an average price of $62.27, and an additional 127,580 shares for $8 million in the third quarter of 2016 through July 26, 2016 at an average price of $62.19. As of July 26, 2016, there was $476 million remaining under the board authorized share repurchase program.
At June 30, 2016, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $344 million and total debt of $3,731 million, resulting in net debt of $3,387 million. This compares to net debt of $2,063 million at December 31, 2015.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
Market Services (35% of total net revenues) - Net revenues were $194 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $5 million when compared to the second quarter of 2015. The increase primarily reflects an increase in revenues from the Nasdaq CXC acquisition.
Equity Derivatives (8% of total net revenues) – Net equity derivative trading and clearing revenues were $46 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $2 million compared to the second quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by higher U.S. industry trading volumes and higher U.S. market share.
Cash Equities (11% of total net revenues) – Net cash equity trading revenues were $63 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $1 million compared to the second quarter of 2015. This increase reflects the inclusion of net revenues associated with our acquisition of Nasdaq CXC and the positive impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by lower U.S. and European market share and lower U.S. average net capture.
Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (4% of total net revenues) – Net FICC trading and clearing revenues were $21 million in the second quarter of 2016, down $3 million from the second quarter of 2015, due to the negative impact of Nasdaq Futures (NFX) trading incentives and a decline in U.S. fixed income revenues, partially offset by higher European fixed income and commodities revenues.
Access and Broker Services (12% of total net revenues) – Access and broker services revenues were $64 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $5 million compared to the second quarter of 2015, primarily driven by an increase in customer demand for network connectivity.
Information Services (24% of total net revenues) – Revenues were $134 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $6 million from the second quarter of 2015. The increase reflects a $3 million organic increase primarily from higher audit collections and higher consolidated and proprietary data products revenue, partially offset by lower index licensing and servicing revenues.
Data Products (19% of total net revenues) – Data products revenues were $107 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $8 million compared to the second quarter of 2015 due to increased audit collections and increased revenues from consolidated and proprietary data, as well as the inclusion of revenues associated with the Nasdaq CXC acquisition and the positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Index Licensing and Services (5% of total net revenues) – Index licensing and services revenues were $27 million in the second quarter of 2016, down $2 million from the second quarter of 2015. The revenue decline was primarily driven by a decrease in the value of underlying assets associated with Nasdaq-licensed ETPs.
Technology Solutions (29% of total net revenues) – Revenues were $163 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $28 million from the second quarter of 2015. The increase primarily reflects the inclusion of revenue from the acquisitions of Marketwired and Boardvantage, as well as $8 million in organic revenue growth primarily from market technology contracts.
Corporate Solutions (17% of total net revenues) – Corporate solutions revenues were $94 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $18 million from the second quarter of 2015. The increase was due to the inclusion of revenues from the Marketwired and Boardvantage acquisitions.
Market Technology (12% of total net revenues) – Market technology revenues were $69 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $10 million from the second quarter of 2015. The increase was driven primarily by growth in revenues from software licensing and support, and surveillance products, as well as increased revenues from change requests. New order intake was $69 million for the second quarter of 2016, and the total order value at June 30, 2016 was $769 million, up 9% from the prior year period.
Listing Services (12% of total net revenues) – Revenues were $68 million in the second quarter of 2016, up $2 million compared to the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to higher revenues in the Nordics from an increase in the number of listed companies due to new listings.

NON-GAAP INFORMATION
In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Nasdaq also discloses certain non-GAAP results of operations, including, but not limited to, net income attributable to Nasdaq, diluted earnings per share, operating income, and operating expenses, that include certain adjustments or exclude certain charges and gains that are described in the reconciliation table of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP information provided at the end of this release. Management uses this non-GAAP information internally, along with U.S. GAAP information, in evaluating our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. We believe our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of results as the items described below do not reflect ongoing operating performance.
These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. We recommend investors review the U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. When viewed in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency and a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than U.S. GAAP measures alone.
We understand that analysts and investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income attributable to Nasdaq, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating expenses to assess operating performance. We use these measures because they highlight trends more clearly in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results specific financial items, such as those described below, that have less bearing on our ongoing operating performance.
Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets: We amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with various acquisitions. Intangible asset amortization expense can vary from period to period due to episodic acquisitions completed, rather than from our ongoing business operations. As such, if intangible asset amortization is included in performance measures, it is more difficult to assess the day-to-day operating performance of the businesses, the relative operating performance of the businesses between periods and the earnings power of Nasdaq. Management does not consider intangible asset amortization expense for the purpose of evaluating the performance of our business or its managers or when making decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, we believe performance measures excluding intangible asset amortization expense provide investors with a more useful representation of our businesses’ ongoing activity in each period.
Restructuring charges: Restructuring charges are associated with our 2015 restructuring plan to improve performance, cut costs and reduce spending and are primarily related to (i) the rebranding of our company name from The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. to Nasdaq, Inc., (ii) severance and other termination benefits, (iii) costs to vacate duplicate facilities, and (iv) asset impairment charges. We exclude these restructuring costs because these costs do not reflect future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Nasdaq’s ongoing operating performance or a comparison of Nasdaq’s performance between periods.
Merger and strategic initiatives expense: We have pursued various strategic initiatives and completed a number of acquisitions in recent years which have resulted in expenses which would not have otherwise been incurred. These expenses include integration costs, as well as legal, due diligence and other third party transaction costs. The frequency and the amount of such expenses vary significantly based on the size, timing and complexity of the transaction. Accordingly, we exclude these costs for purposes of calculating non-GAAP measures which provide a more meaningful analysis of Nasdaq’s ongoing operating performance or comparisons of Nasdaq’s performance between periods.
Other significant items: We have excluded certain other charges or gains that are the result of other non-comparable events to measure operating performance. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, other significant items include tax expense due to an unfavorable tax ruling received during the three months ended June 30, 2016, the impact of which related to prior periods, and the release of a sublease loss reserve due to the early exit of a facility. We believe the exclusion of such amounts, which arise outside of the normal course of business, allow management and investors to better understand the financial results of Nasdaq.
Foreign exchange impact on revenue: In countries with currencies other than the U.S. dollar, revenues and expenses are translated using monthly average exchange rates. Certain discussions in this release isolate the impact of year-over-year foreign currency fluctuations to better measure the comparability of operating results between periods. Operating results excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations are calculated by translating the current period’s results by the prior period’s exchange rates.

In June 2015, as part of our real estate reorganization plans, management decided to occupy this space. Restructuring charges are recorded on restructuring plans that have been committed to by management and are, in part, based upon management’s best estimates of future events.
