Deutsche Börse AG published its results for the second quarter of 2016 on Wednesday. Consolidated net revenue rose 10 per cent compared with the same quarter of the previous year, to €600.7 million (Q2 2015: €547.1 million). Besides consolidation effects, the increase was largely driven by positive developments in index derivatives and in the commodities business within the Eurex segment; in Clearstream’s international business, as well as in the index business in the Market Data + Services segment. At €275.8 million, and despite consolidation effects, adjusted operating costs were only up slightly year-on-year (Q2 2015: €273.4 million). Adjusted net profit for the period thus amounted to €218.5 million (Q2 2015: €180.8 million). Basic earnings per share, adjusted for non-recurring effects, increased to €1.17 (Q2 2015: €0.98).
