Interim Management Statement for the three months ended 31 December 2012

Good operational and financial performance in Q3 as the Group continues to benefit from diversified range of businesses
Total income up 6 per cent on Q3 last year at £208.9 million; 9 months year-to-date up 9 per cent, to £632.5 million
Information Services revenues up 44 per cent, reflecting both inclusion of FTSE and growth across other information services with revenue up 5 per cent on organic, constant currency basis
Post Trade Services total income declined 14 per cent, partly reflecting lower trading activity. Treasury management income was good at £27.8 million, compared with a particularly strong period last year (Q3 FY 2012: £33.5 million)
Capital Markets revenues decreased 4 per cent, with good growth in admission fee income and fixed income trading offset by subdued derivatives and cash equities trading across global markets
Technology Services revenues up 5 per cent, driven by growth from MillenniumIT
The Group continues to work towards completion of the acquisition of up to 60 per cent of LCH.Clearnet following clearance by the UK OFT and provisional agreement on a revised offer; shareholder votes to take place following announcement of full terms and conditions of the transaction
