ADJUSTED NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO ICE OF $161MM

- Record Quarterly Revenues of $372MM, +6% yty in 2Q13
- GAAP Diluted EPS of $2.09; GAAP Net Income Attributable to ICE of $153MM in 2Q13

ATLANTA, August 6, 2013 – IntercontinentalExchange (NYSE: ICE), a leading operator of global markets and clearing houses, today reported record financial results for the second quarter of 2013. Consolidated revenues were a record $372 million, an increase of 6% from the second quarter of 2012. Consolidated net income attributable to ICE was $153 million, up 7% from the second quarter of 2012, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 7% over the second quarter to $2.09 on a GAAP basis.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, certain items were included in ICE's operating results that are not indicative of its core business performance, including transaction costs related to ICE's proposed acquisition of NYSE Euronext. Excluding these items, second quarter 2013 adjusted net income attributable to ICE increased 12% over the prior second quarter to a record $161 million and adjusted diluted EPS rose 12% to $2.19. Please refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release for more information on adjusted net income attributable to ICE and adjusted diluted EPS.

Said ICE Chairman and CEO Jeffrey C. Sprecher: “We delivered on our commitment to growth, achieving a record quarter while making continued progress on our acquisition of NYSE Euronext and seamlessly completing a significant clearing transition. We received approvals from shareholders of both companies and the European Commission and are working with regulators to finalize the transaction. Meanwhile, we remain focused on extending our risk management services and delivering on the needs of our customers around the globe.

ICE SVP and CFO Scott A. Hill added: “Our clearing business continues to expand into new asset classes. Following the successful transfer of NYSE Liffe’s clearing services, we now clear energy, emissions, agricultural, credit, interest rate and equity derivatives at ICE Clear Europe. We are also seeing significant growth in buy-side volumes for credit default swaps following the start of the U.S. clearing mandate. To date, we have cleared $1.8 trillion in buy-side gross notional value for CDS. Combined with our demonstrated investment discipline, our diverse businesses, strong balance sheet and cash flows provide a strong foundation for continued growth.”

When viewed in conjunction with our U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to our financial condition and results of operations.

Adjusted net income attributable to ICE for the six and three months ended June 30, 2013 presented below is calculated by adding net income attributable to ICE, the adjustments described below, which are not reflective of our core business performance, and the related income tax effect. We are including all of the acquisition-related transaction costs incurred relating to our current acquisition of NYSE Euronext as a non-GAAP adjustment given the size of the deal. We are also including the banker success fee relating to the ICE Endex acquisition and the duplicate rent expenses and lease termination costs in New York City, as we are consolidating multiple existing locations into a combined location, as non-GAAP adjustments. The tax effects of these items are calculated by applying specific legal entity and jurisdictional marginal tax rates. The following table reconciles net income attributable to ICE to adjusted net income attributable to ICE and calculates adjusted earnings per share attributable to ICE common shareholders for the period presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts):
