FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CME Group Inc. Reports Strong Third-Quarter 2013 Financial Results
CHICAGO, November 4, 2013 — CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CME) today reported revenues of $715 million and operating income of $401 million for the third quarter of 2013. Net income attributable to CME Group was $237 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.71. Excluding items noted in the reconciliation, adjusted earnings per share would have been $0.75.1
“Our business continued to trend positively in the third quarter, as demand for our products increased in several major categories, most notably our over-the-counter interest rate swap clearing,” said CME Group Executive Chairman and President Terry Duffy. “We experienced an increase in dealer-to-client market share from 5 percent in the first quarter of this year to 31 percent in the third quarter, in addition to approaching 50 percent of open interest. This is due to our strong value proposition and product expansion. Now that the three waves of the Dodd-Frank clearing mandate are completed, the market is shifting from a compliance phase to an optimization phase. Going forward, our interest rate complex will continue to benefit from our success in OTC clearing.”
“Third-quarter 2013 top-line results included substantial progress in our core business as well as expansion in over-the-counter clearing,” said CME Group Chief Executive Officer Phupinder Gill. “Average daily volume was up 11 percent, driven primarily by continued strong performance in our interest rate and metal complexes, as well as strong growth in our options products, which increased by 31 percent. In addition, our efforts to grow the business globally continue to take root. Electronic trading volumes outside the United States grew 16 percent, with volumes up 23 percent in Latin America, 22 percent in Asia and 15 percent in Europe compared with third-quarter 2012.”

Third-quarter 2013 average daily volume was 12.0 million contracts, up 11 percent from third-quarter 2012, and included 29 percent growth in interest rate volume and 10 percent growth in metal volume. Clearing and transaction fee revenues were $598 million, up 6 percent compared with the same period last year. Third-quarter total average rate per contract was 76.2 cents, up from 74.8 cents in second-quarter 2013, driven primarily by strong higher paying, non-member participation during third-quarter relative to last quarter.

A live audio Webcast of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of CME Group’s Web site at www.cmegroup.com.
