| (1) | The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated by dividing adjusted earnings by fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest incurred and the interest portion of rent expense. |
| (2) | The pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011 (i) gives effect to CME Group Inc.’s offering of its 3.00% notes due 2022 and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, together with other cash on hand, to retire at maturity its $750.0 million 5.40% notes due 2013 assuming those transactions had occurred on (and the scheduled maturity of the 5.40% notes due 2013 notes had been) January 1, 2011 and (ii) reflects CME Group Inc.’s having entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement in August 2012 that resulted in the interest payable on the notes effectively becoming fixed at an annual rate CME Group Inc. estimates to be 3.375% at issuance on September 10, 2012. The pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges does not necessarily represent what the actual ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been had those transactions occurred on the date assumed and is not necessarily indicative of CME Group Inc.’s future ratio of earnings to fixed charges. |
| (3) | Represents CME Group Inc.’s interest in various entities, which is recognized using the equity method of accounting. |
