NEW YORK, NY – November 10, 2011 – FXCM Inc. (NYSE: FXCM), a leading online provider of foreign exchange, or FX, trading and related services, today announced for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, revenues increased to $109.1 million, compared to $103.4 million for the second quarter 2011 and $90.5 million for the third quarter 2010, an increase of 5% and 20% respectively. Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA for the third quarter 2011 was $31.4 million compared to $28.5 million for the second quarter 2011 and $27.9 million for the third quarter 2010, an increase of 10% and an increase of 13%, respectively. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income was $17.1 million, or $0.23 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis, compared to $15.6 million, or $0.21 per share for the second quarter 2011 and $16.4 million, or $0.22 per share, for the third quarter 2010, an increase of 10% and 4% of Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income, respectively. U.S. GAAP net income for the third quarter 2011 was $3.4 million, or $0.21 cents per fully diluted Class A share.

In addition, Adjusted Pro Forma results eliminate certain non-recurring charges and equity based compensation expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 revenues increased 16% to $307.1 million, compared to $264.2 million for the corresponding period in 2010.

U.S. GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $9.5 million, or $0.56 cents per fully diluted Class A share.

“FXCM delivered solid results in the third quarter. Our retail client volume of $1,042 billion was a quarterly record,” said Drew Niv, Chief Executive Officer of FXCM Inc. “We are particularly pleased that our US operations turned in a particularly solid performance with 38% sequential growth in volume from the second quarter 2011.”

“In addition, on October 7th we closed our acquisition of Foreland Forex in Japan which more than doubles our presence in Japan, the world’s largest retail FX market, and will increase our customer equity in excess of $1 billion,” he continued.

Adjusted Pro Forma Results

Throughout the discussion of FXCM Inc.’s results, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure. Adjusted Pro Forma results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), adjusted to exclude certain items and reflects the conversion of all units of FXCM Holdings, LLC for shares of Class A common stock of FXCM Inc. FXCM believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare FXCM’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of FXCM’s operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The differences between Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:

Assumed Exchange of Units of FXCM Holdings, LLC for FXCM Inc. Class A Shares. As a result of the exchange of FXCM Holdings units, the non-controlling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. The Company’s management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all FXCM Holdings units.

Stock Based Compensation Expense. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings to eliminate expense relating to stock based compensation. The Company’s management believes it is useful to provide the effects of eliminating these expenses.

Income Taxes. Prior to the initial public offering FXCM was organized as a series of limited liability companies and foreign corporations, and even following the initial public offering not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate-level taxes. As a result, adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma earnings to assume that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates, that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis and that adjustments for deferred tax assets related to the ultimate tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are recorded directly to stockholders’ equity. This assumption is consistent with the assumption that all of FXCM Holdings’ units are exchanged for shares of FXCM Inc. Class A common stock, as discussed in Item 1 above, as the assumed exchange would change the tax structure of the Company.

Regulatory Reserve. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company established a reserve of $16.3 million regarding a settlement with the NFA and the CFTC relating to trade execution activities. Pursuant to an agreement with a subsidiary of FXCM Holdings LLC, certain founding members of FXCM Holdings agreed to reimburse the cost of these matters, up to $16.3 million. In July 2011 and August 2011, $16.0 million and $0.3 million of additional capital was provided by the respective founding members and their capital accounts were increased and decreased for the funding and expense, respectively, in accordance with their membership interest in Holdings. Consequently there was no impact to FXCM Inc.'s net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as the expense was allocated to the respective members for such expenses as permitted under terms of Holdings’ LLC agreement. The Company believes it is useful to provide the effects of eliminating these expenses.
