Deutsche Boerse AG proposed a dividend of EUR 2.10 per share. This corresponds to the dividend from 2007 to 2010 and adjusted for special items.

Deutsche Boerse AG reported consolidated earnings results for the first quarter of 2013. For the quarter, the company reported net revenue, at €484.3 million, was above that of the third and fourth quarter of 2012, but down slightly on the prior-year quarter of €506.9 million. This was mainly due to historically low interest rates and reduced equity market volatility. Net interest income from banking business, a component of net revenue, decreased to €8.2 million against €18.5 million a year ago, in spite of higher average customer cash deposits. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) declined to €192.0 million in the reporting period against €260.0 million a year ago. The group’s EBIT was €257.8 million against €282.9 million a year ago. The group’s loss on financial results amounted to €23.2 million compared with €19.8 million in the first quarter of 2012, whereby the prior-year figure has been adjusted for effects from the acquisition of all of the shares in Eurex Zürich AG. The group’s consolidated net income amounted to €121.2 million against €146.2 million a year ago. Excluding the special factors mentioned above, consolidated net income equaled €169.9 million against €190.5 million a year ago. Basic earnings per share were €0.66 based on 184.1 million shares against €0.77 based on 188.7 million shares and adjusted earnings per share were €0.92 against €1.01 a year ago.
