CHICAGO, November 1, 2012 - CBOE Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBOE) today reported third quarter 2012 net income allocated to common stockholders of $45.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared with $40.6 million, or $0.45 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2011. On an adjusted basis, net income allocated to common stockholders was $37.7 million, or $0.43 per share, compared with $44.7 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Operating revenues of $128.3 million for the third quarter decreased 11 percent compared with $143.6 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Financial results presented on an adjusted basis for the third quarter exclude a tax benefit of $7.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in 2012, and a tax charge of $4.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in 2011, which the company believes are not representative of its core operating performance.

“Our diverse product line, market share gains and disciplined financial management enabled CBOE to post positive financial results, despite lower industry-wide trading activity. We were especially pleased to see the continued growth of trading in our volatility products, which included record volume in VIX futures,” said William J. Brodsky, CBOE Holdings Chairman and CEO. “We are optimistic that we can continue to weather market challenges in the short-term, while focusing on product innovation and education to grow our business in the long-term."
"We are pleased to report solid third quarter results, particularly in comparison with last year's record quarter. In September, we took proactive measures to reduce expenses while continuing to invest in our growth initiatives," said Alan J. Dean, CBOE Holdings Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Our balance sheet remains strong, with cash of $160 million and no debt. As we await clarity surrounding possible tax law changes, we are considering all capital deployment alternatives to further enhance stockholder returns," Dean added.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net income allocated to common stockholders was $116.0 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, compared with $105.3 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, in the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, net income allocated to common stockholders was $108.5 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, compared with $110.0 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2011. Operating revenues were $382.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, down 1 percent from $387.9 million in the prior year period.

(1) A full reconciliation of our non-GAAP results to our GAAP results for the 2012 and 2011 reporting periods is included in the attached tables. See "Non-GAAP Information” in the accompanying financial tables.
Revenues
Operating revenues were $128.3 million in the third quarter of 2012, down $15.3 million, or 11 percent, from $143.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily driven by a $23.2 million decline in transaction fees, offset somewhat by a $3.3 million increase in exchange services and other fees and a $3.9 million increase in other revenue. The increase in exchange services and other fees was due to fee increases implemented at the start of the year. The increase in other revenue reflects fines assessed to trading permit holders resulting from disciplinary actions.
Transaction fees were down 21 percent for the quarter due to a 22 percent decline in trading volume, offset somewhat by a 1 percent increase in the average revenue per contract (RPC) compared with last year's third quarter. Trading volume for the third quarter was 273.3 million contracts, or 4.34 million contracts per day, compared with the all-time- record volume of 350.8 million contracts, or 5.48 million contracts per day in the third quarter of 2011. RPC increased to $0.317 compared with $0.313 in the third quarter of 2011.
The increase in RPC primarily reflects higher average transaction fees derived from the company's index options and futures contracts as a result of fee changes implemented in early 2012. These fee changes increased the RPC on index options and futures contracts by 13 percent and 17 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2012 versus the third quarter of 2011. These RPC gains more than offset a decline in RPC for multiply-listed options (equities and exchange-traded funds), resulting from CBOE's Volume Incentive Program implemented earlier this year. The average revenue per contract represents total transaction fee revenue divided by total reported trading volume for Chicago



Board Options Exchange (CBOE), C2 Options Exchange (C2) and CBOE Futures Exchange (CFE).
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 2 percent, to $67.5 million compared with $68.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. This decrease primarily reflects lower costs for royalty fees and trading volume incentives, offset somewhat by increases in outside services and employee costs.
The company's core operating expenses, which include total operating expenses less volume-based expenses, depreciation and amortization, accelerated stock-based compensation expense and unusual or one-time expenses, were $46.1 million for the third quarter of 2012, up $3.8 million, or 9 percent, compared with last year's third quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher expenses for outside services and employee costs. Outside services were up primarily due an increase in legal fees. The increase in employee costs was mainly due to severance charges of $2.0 million.
Volume-based expenses, which include royalty fees and trading volume incentives, were $12.7 million in the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of $4.8 million, or 27 percent, compared with the same period last year. This decrease reflects a $2.7 million decline in royalty fees, which are directly related to lower trading volume in licensed index products, and a $2.1 million decrease in trading volume incentives. The decline in trading volume incentives primarily resulted from lower trading volume in multiply-listed options and changes to the incentive program criteria.
Operating Margin
The company's operating margin for the third quarter of 2012 was 47.4 percent compared with 52.2 percent for the same quarter last year when the company reported its highest-ever quarterly operating margin driven by record revenue.
Effective Tax Rate
On a GAAP basis, the company reported an effective tax rate of 24.4 percent for the quarter versus 44.6 percent in last year's third quarter. The effective rate for the current quarter includes the benefit of significant discrete items relating to prior years totaling $7.7 million, or $0.09 per share. The effective rate is also impacted by the recognition of other discrete items and the benefit of a new tax apportionment method enacted by Illinois. The prior year quarter included the impact of an increase in the Illinois tax rate effective January 1, 2011 and a charge of $4.2 million, or $0.05 per share, taken to reserve for potential additional tax liabilities as a result of an advisory opinion from New York State taxing authorities.

The adjusted effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 and 2011, which excludes the $7.7 million and the $4.2 million, was 37.1 percent and 38.9 percent, respectively.

The company noted that it now expects its adjusted effective tax rate for the full-year 2012 to be in a range of 39.6 to 40.1 percent. The most significant differences in the adjusted effective rate and the statutory rate are state income taxes and discrete items relating to the current period.
Third Quarter 2012 Operational Highlights and Recent Developments
For a third consecutive quarter, CFE experienced record-setting quarterly trading volume.
On July 27, CBOE introduced a fully-electronic process for trading SPX Variance Strips, a portfolio of S&P 500 Index options intended to replicate S&P 500 implied variance exposure, in a single transaction. Trading in SPX Variance Strips (ticker: VSTRP) is aimed at qualified professional investors and employs a special quoting convention similar to the over-the-counter method for quoting variance swaps.
On August 28, CBOE launched trading in a new type of S&P 500® Index options contract, known as CBOE S&P 500 Range options (ticker: SRO).
On September 5 through 7, CBOE held its first European Risk Management Conference near Dublin, Ireland, which was attended by more than 160 participants, including some of Europe's most sophisticated options and volatility practitioners.
On September 6, the company announced plans to expand trading hours for CBOE Volatility Index (VIX Index) futures to virtually 24 hours from eight hours beginning sometime in 2013. VIX Index futures will be the first



contract traded on a CBOE Holdings exchange with around-the-clock access, five days a week, pending regulatory approval. CFE also plans to establish a London hub next year, with CFE network equipment housed in a London data center. The hub is intended to provide European firms with a cost-efficient way to send and receive CFE data and to execute trades on the exchange.
On September 26, 2012, the Illinois Supreme Court refused to hear International Securities Exchange's (ISE) appeal of the Appellate Court's May 25, 2012 decision that affirmed a permanent injunction prohibiting ISE from listing or providing an exchange market for trading in options on either the S&P 500® Index (S&P 500) or the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (DJIA). This injunction also forbids OCC from clearing options on these indexes for ISE.
2012 Fiscal Year Financial Guidance
Based on its year-to-date financial results, the company updated its 2012 fiscal year guidance as follows:
Revenue from exchange services and other fees is now expected to be between $28.5 million to $30.5 million for the year, up from the previous guidance range of $27.0 million to $29.0 million.
Core expenses were reaffirmed to be in the range of $173.0 million to $178.0 million. Previously, the company expected core expenses to be at the low end of the guidance range if volume had been flat to up 4 percent in 2012 and at the high end of the range if volume growth was 5 percent or higher. The company now expects core expenses to be near the midpoint of the guidance range.
The adjusted effective tax rate for the full-year 2012 is now expected to be in a range of 39.6 to 40.1 percent versus the previous guidance range of 41.2 percent to 41.7 percent. The most significant differences in the adjusted effective rate and the statutory rate are state income taxes and discrete items relating to the current period. Significant changes in trading volume, expenses, state and local tax rates and other items, including ongoing state and federal tax audits, could materially impact this expectation.
The company reaffirmed the following 2012 financial guidance last provided in its August 2, 2012 earnings press release:
Access fees are expected to be in a range of $64.0 million to $67.0 million.
Continuing stock-based compensation expense, included in core expenses above, is expected to be in the range of $12.2 million to $12.7 million.
Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to be in the range of $33.0 million to $35.0 million.
Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $30.0 million to $35.0 million.
Return of Capital to Stockholders
As announced on October 30, 2012, CBOE Holdings' Board of Directors declared a fourth-quarter dividend of $0.15 per share, payable December 21, 2012, to stockholders of record on November 30, 2012.
During the third quarter of 2012, the company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. Year to date, the company has repurchased 1,871,424 shares at an average price of $26.58 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $49.7 million. At September 30, 2012, the company had approximately $103.3 million of availability remaining under its existing share repurchase authorizations.
