New York, N.Y.—The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NDAQ) today reported results for the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter net revenues were $497 million, down 2% from $506 million in the prior year period, driven in part by the impact of foreign exchange rates. On an organic basis, excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, third quarter net revenues decreased 1% year-over-year.

“Nasdaq’s unmatched contribution of stable, subscription and recurring revenues, and an unrelenting focus on efficiency helped deliver for our shareholders by matching non-GAAP EPS records and creating recent highs in non-GAAP operating margins,” said Bob Greifeld, CEO, Nasdaq. “This was delivered against a backdrop of a seasonally slower period for Nasdaq across our businesses.”

Mr. Greifeld continued, “Looking forward, the company has created substantial avenues of growth, and is better positioned than ever to take advantage of these opportunities. Over the past month, we have experienced a volatile macro backdrop that delivers opportunities for our clients across fixed income, equities and derivatives. This, coupled with our expanding set of services and solutions, as well as our fiscal discipline and strong competitive position, provides our management team confidence in the strength of our business model and efficacy of our strategic growth initiatives.”

On a non-GAAP basis, third quarter 2014 operating expenses were $284 million, down 7% as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily the result of lower compensation and contract services expense. On an organic basis, third quarter 2014 non-GAAP operating expenses were down 6% compared to the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, operating expenses were $290 million in the third quarter of 2014, down 5% compared to $304 million in the prior year quarter.

Third quarter 2014 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.72, compared to $0.66 in the prior year quarter. Please refer to our reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income, diluted earnings per share, operating income and operating expenses included in the attached schedules.

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Nasdaq for the third quarter of 2014 was $123 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared with $113 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

“Our unwavering focus on profitability led to declines in expenses, offsetting revenue headwinds from a number of discrete, temporary factors,” said Lee Shavel, EVP and CFO, Nasdaq. “These factors included foreign exchange, a significant decline in data audit collections, and certain planned revenue impacts in acquired businesses. We have lowered our full-year 2014 non-GAAP operating expense guidance to reflect recent management actions and other environmental factors.”

Mr. Shavel continued, “On the capital front, we continued to repurchase stock with $156 million deployed since resuming our repurchases upon meeting our deleveraging target in the second quarter. In addition, the company’s Board of Directors increased the buyback authorization to ensure the company can continue to deploy capital where it generates maximum returns.”

The company repurchased 0.7 million shares, or $27 million of stock, in the third quarter of 2014 at an average price of $41.39. Thus far in October 2014, the company has repurchased an additional $35 million of stock.

The Board has authorized an additional $500 million of stock repurchases, which combined with approximately $60 million of unused authorization after the October repurchases to date, gives the company a total available authorization of approximately $560 million.

On September 30, 2014, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $286 million and total debt of $2,345 million, resulting in net debt of $2,059 million. This compares to net debt of $2,418 million at September 30, 2013.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Market Services (39% of total net revenues) - Net revenues were $194 million in the third quarter of 2014, down $6 million when compared to $200 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Derivatives (13% of total net revenues) – Total net derivative trading and clearing revenues were $66 million in the third quarter of 2014, down $5 million compared to the third quarter of 2013. European derivative trading and clearing revenues were down $2 million, due primarily to the impact of foreign exchange, while net U.S. derivative trading and clearing revenues were down $3 million, due to a decline in average capture rate, partially offset by higher industry volume.

Cash Equities (10% of total net revenues) – Total net cash equity trading revenues were $52 million in the third quarter of 2014, up $6 million compared to the third quarter of 2013. Net U.S. cash equity trading revenues were $6 million higher than the prior year quarter, resulting from higher market share and average capture, while European cash equity trading revenues were unchanged year-over-year, as higher market share was offset by the impact of foreign exchange.

Fixed Income (3% of total net revenues) – Total net fixed income trading revenues were $13 million in the third quarter of 2014, down $5 million from the third quarter of 2013 due to scheduled reductions in payments by a third-party eSpeed technology customer, as well as lower average capture and market share.

Access and Broker Services (13% of total net revenues) – Access and broker services revenues totaled $63 million in the third quarter of 2014, down $2 million compared to the third quarter of 2013, due in part to the impact of foreign exchange.

Information Services (23% of total net revenues) – Revenues were $114 million in the third quarter of 2014, down $3 million from the third quarter of 2013.

Market Data (19% of total net revenues) – Total market data revenues were $92 million in the third quarter of 2014, down $7 million compared to the third quarter of 2013, due to an $8 million decrease in audit collections and unfavorable foreign exchange, partially offset by higher revenues from Nasdaq Basic.

Index Licensing and Services (4% of total net revenues) – Index licensing and services revenues were $22 million in the third quarter of 2014, up $4 million from the third quarter of 2013. The revenue growth was largely a function of materially higher assets under management in licensed exchange traded products.

Technology Solutions (26% of total net revenues) - Revenues were $130 million in the third quarter of 2014, down $2 million from the third quarter of 2013.

Corporate Solutions (15% of total net revenues) – Corporate solutions revenues were $75 million in the third quarter of 2014, down $3 million from the third quarter of 2013. The corporate solutions revenue decline was due primarily to IR product pricing actions designed to compensate for subsidies previously provided to certain customers by a competitor, as well as maintain and promote broader customer relationships. Offsetting other declines in IR products was organic growth in press release distribution and the Directors Desk governance solution.

Market Technology (11% of total net revenues) – Market technology revenues were $55 million in the third quarter of 2014, up $1 million from the third quarter of 2013. Growth was driven principally by SMARTS Broker and BWise expansion, which was partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact.

Listing Services (12% of total net revenues) – Revenues were $59 million in the third quarter of 2014, up $2 million compared to the third quarter of 2013 due to an increase in U.S. listing revenues primarily due to a 6% growth in the issuer base and higher new issue activity. European listing revenues were unchanged, as the increase in the issuer base was offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates.

UPDATED COST GUIDANCE – The company has lowered non-GAAP operating expense guidance to $1,205-$1,225 million, down from the prior $1,220-$1,250 million. Included in this non-GAAP operating expense guidance is an expected $30-$35 million in GIFT new initiative spending, down from a prior $30-$40 million estimate, and $1,175-$1,190 million in core non-GAAP operating expense, down from $1,190-$1,210 million.

(1) For the three months ended September 30, 2014, merger and strategic initiatives costs are primarily related to the acquisition of the TR Corporate Solutions businesses in May 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, merger and strategic initiatives costs are primarily related to the acquisition of the TR Corporate Solutions businesses and other strategic initiatives. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, merger and strategic initiatives expense included $8 million of costs primarily related to the acquisitions of eSpeed and the TR Corporate Solutions businesses. This amount was offset by the remeasurement of a contingent purchase price liability related to the BWise acquisition due to changes in the anticipated performance of BWise.
(2) We determine the tax effect of each item based on the tax rules in the respective jurisdiction where the transaction occurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the adjustment includes the $8 million of merger and strategic initiatives expense described in note (1) above.
(3) For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the amount relates to previous tax return liabilities which have resulted in an adjustment to the tax provision. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the amount represents an increase in net deferred tax liabilities resulting from changes in tax rates in various jurisdictions.
(4) Non-GAAP operating margin equals non-GAAP operating income divided by total revenues less transaction rebates, brokerage, clearance and exchange fees.
