TORONTO, July 27, 2012 /CNW/ - TMX Group Inc. [TSX:X] announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Commenting on this quarter's performance, Tom Kloet, Chief Executive Officer of TMX Group said:

"TMX Group advanced its strategic and operational goals at a time of continued uncertainty in global markets.  While these macroeconomic conditions impacted our financial performance we benefited from the asset-class diversity of our business.  In the derivatives segment, volumes on Montréal Exchange and Boston Options Exchange are ahead of the same period last year, somewhat offsetting revenue declines in our cash markets business."

Commenting on the Maple transaction, Mr. Kloet added:

"We are moving forward with the Maple transaction and look forward to a successful conclusion of the tendering process on July 31.  The transaction provides value for shareholders, expands the business and enhances our international competitiveness.  We are focused on providing additional benefits to Canadian participants and capital markets, and have begun work on the required integration planning with CDS and Alpha."

Michael Ptasznik, Chief Financial Officer of TMX Group said, "From an operational perspective, we were pleased with the sequential improvement in both revenues and adjusted diluted earnings per share. With the exception of cash markets trading revenue, we experienced sequential growth across our business, and at the same time realized a modest reduction in operating expenses."

Summary of Financial Information

(in millions of dollars, except per share amounts)

The decrease in net income attributable to TMX Group shareholders was due to:

• $54.4 million (pre-tax) of costs related to the Maple Group Acquisition Corporation's (Maple) proposed acquisition of TMX Group and the proposed merger with London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) (Maple and LSEG related costs), including a $29.0 million fee to LSEG and $23.4 million of success fees to our financial advisors, payable in both cases upon Maple's initial take-up of TMX Group shares under the Maple offer, as well as legal, advisory and other costs incurred. (In Q2/11, net income was reduced by $20.8 million (pre-tax) of Maple and LSEG related costs.)
  
  
• Net impairment charges of $31.2 million, including a $44.6 million (pre-tax) non-cash write-down related to all of the intangible assets of NTP, partially offset by a $13.4 million non-cash reversal of an impairment loss on the intangible asset related to BOX, of which $7.2 million is attributable to TMX Group shareholders (see Net Impairment Charges).
  
  
• Lower revenue from issuer services and cash markets trading, partially offset by higher revenue from derivatives markets trading and clearing, technology services and other, including approximately $5.0 million related to the termination of our contract with Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), as well as information services.
  
  
• Higher overall operating expenses.

These decreases in net income were offset by:

• A $32.2 million decrease in income tax expense compared with Q2/11 primarily due to our significantly reduced net income and the impact from the recognition of deferred income tax assets related to BOX (see Income Tax (Recovery) Expense).

Adjusted earnings per share** of $0.82 per common share ($0.81 on a diluted basis) was lower than adjusted earnings per share of $0.94 per common share on a basic and diluted basis for Q2/11. The decrease in adjusted earnings per share was due to lower revenue from issuer services and cash markets trading, partially offset by higher revenue from derivatives markets trading and clearing, technology services and other, as well as information services. The decrease in adjusted earnings per share was also due to higher overall operating expenses. Somewhat offsetting these decreases, there was a reduction in income tax expense in Q2/12 compared with Q2/11 due to lower income from operations.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

Revenue

Revenue was $167.5 million in Q2/12, down $1.8 million, or 1% compared with $169.3 million for Q2/11, reflecting lower revenue from issuer services and cash markets trading. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue from derivatives markets trading and clearing, technology services and other (including revenue from Razor Risk Technologies Limited (Razor Risk), consolidated from February 14, 2012) and information services (including revenue from TMX Atrium, acquired July 29, 2011).

Issuer services revenue

(in millions of dollars)

• Initial listing fees in Q2/12 were lower primarily due to a decrease in the number and value of new listings on Toronto Stock Exchange compared with Q2/11.
  
  
• Additional listing fees in Q2/12 decreased compared with Q2/11 primarily due to a decrease in the number and value of additional financings on TSX Venture Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange.
  
  
• Issuers listed on Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange pay annual sustaining listing fees primarily based on their market capitalization at the end of the prior calendar year, subject to minimum and maximum fees. The decrease in sustaining listing fees was due to the overall lower market capitalization of listed issuers on both exchanges at the end of 2011 compared with the end of 2010. The decrease was also due to a reduction in certain fees effective January 1, 2012.

Trading, clearing and related revenue

(in millions of dollars)

Cash Markets

• Cash markets equity trading revenue decreased primarily due to a 41% decrease in the volume of securities traded on TSX Venture Exchange in Q2/12 compared with Q2/11 (9.63 billion securities in Q2/12 versus 16.37 billion securities traded in Q2/11) and a 17% decrease in the volume of securities traded on Toronto Stock Exchange in Q2/12 compared with Q2/11 (20.53 billion securities in Q2/12 versus 24.60 billion securities in Q2/11). Cash markets revenue also included revenue from TMX Select, which was launched in July 2011 (0.7 billion securities traded in Q2/12). Total volume traded on our combined equity markets was down 25% compared with the same period last year. This was in line with the decline across all Canadian marketplaces.
  
  
• The decrease was also as a result of changes to our market making fee schedule for Toronto Stock Exchange, effective October 1, 2011, which included introducing monthly credits.
  
  
• The decrease in overall cash markets revenue also reflected a price decrease in Shorcan fixed income trading that was effective April 18, 2012 and a change in product mix, somewhat offset by higher volumes in Q2/12 compared with Q2/11.

Derivatives Markets

• The increase in derivatives markets revenue reflects higher revenues from BOX primarily as a result of a 55% increase in BOX volumes (41.33 million contracts in Q2/12 versus 26.73 million contracts traded in Q2/11).
  
  
• The increase in derivatives markets revenue also reflects an increase in trading and clearing revenue from MX and CDCC. Volumes increased by 10% over Q2/11 (17.88 million contracts traded in Q2/12 versus 16.27 million contracts traded in Q2/11) reflecting increased trading across all major products. The increase in revenue was partially offset by the impact of price changes since Q2/11. Open interest was up 6% at June 30, 2012 compared with June 30, 2011.
  
  
• Derivatives markets revenue for Q2/12 also includes fees earned by CDCC for providing the clearing service on REPO transactions as well as bank fees that are charged back to Clearing Members (see Other Credit and Liquidity Facilities and Guarantee). This service was launched on February 21, 2012.

Energy Markets

• The increase in energy markets revenue reflects an 8% increase in total energy volume^# traded on NGX (3.81 million terajoules in Q2/12 compared to 3.54 million terajoules in Q2/11), primarily due to an 8% increase in natural gas volumes.
  
  
• NGX crude oil volumes (previously NTP's business) were lower due to limited acceptance of NGX's clearing services and increased competition from voice brokers, including from Shorcan Energy Brokers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shorcan. This decrease in NGX crude oil revenue was essentially offset by higher revenue from Shorcan Energy Brokers driven by higher volumes in Q2/12 compared with Q2/11. During Q2/12, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge on the intangible assets related to NTP (see Net Impairment Charges).

Information services revenue

(in millions of dollars)

• The increase was primarily due to the inclusion and growth in revenue from TMX Atrium, acquired July 29, 2011, and higher revenue from co-location services, data feeds, index licensing and PC-Bond. The increase was also due to higher revenue recoveries related to under-reported usage of real-time quotes in prior periods during Q2/12 compared with Q2/11.
  
  
• There was an 8% increase in the average number of MX market data subscriptions⁺ (27,195 MX market data subscriptions in Q2/12 compared with 25,202 in Q2/11), and a price increase effective April 1, 2012.
  
  
• The increases were partially offset by net price reductions on TSX market data subscriptions effective October 1, 2011 and April 1, 2012, and lower revenue from usage based quotes.
  
  
• Overall, there was a 7% decrease in the average number of professional and equivalent real-time market data subscriptions⁺ to Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange products compared with Q2/11 (152,672 professional and equivalent real-time market data subscriptions in Q2/12 compared with 163,804 in Q2/11).

_______________________________

^# NGX total energy volume includes trading and clearing in natural gas, crude oil and electricity.

⁺ Includes a base number of subscriptions for customers that have entered into enterprise agreements.

Technology services and other revenue

(in millions of dollars)

• Technology services and other revenue increased primarily due to the receipt of a one-time termination fee, recovery of disposal and severance costs, and recognition of previously deferred revenue from IIROC of approximately $5.0 million. We consolidated revenue from Razor Risk effective from February 14, 2012. In addition, we realized net foreign exchange gains on U.S. dollar accounts receivable in Q2/12 whereas we realized net foreign exchange losses in Q2/11.
  
  
• Offsetting these increases in revenue was the loss in revenue from IIROC following the termination of our contract to provide services effective March 31, 2012, which amounts to approximately $6.7 million on an annual basis.

REPO interest

(in millions of dollars)

• On February 21, 2012, CDCC launched the clearing of fixed income REPO agreements. The interest income and interest expense arising from the REPO agreements are equal. However, as CDCC does not have a legal right to offset these amounts, they are recognized separately on the condensed consolidated income statement.
  
  
• In Q2/12, CDCC cleared 4,822 transactions, comprised of 93 eligible International Securities Identification Numbers (ISINs) with a notional value of $218.0 billion.
  
  
• Fees earned by CDCC for providing the clearing service for the REPO agreements are included in Derivatives Markets Trading, clearing and related revenue.

Operating Expenses

Overall operating expenses in Q2/12 were $82.3 million, up $10.8 million, or 15%, from $71.5 million in Q2/11 primarily due to the inclusion of approximately $6.0 million of expenses related to TMX Atrium, acquired July 29, 2011, Razor Risk, consolidated from February 14, 2012 and ir2020, the assets of which were acquired December 23, 2011. There was also an overall increase in all operating expenses compared with Q2/11.

Compensation and Benefits

(in millions of dollars)

• Compensation and benefits costs increased due to an overall increase in salary and benefits costs relating to increased headcount and merit increases. There were 951 employees at June 30, 2012 versus 857 employees at June 30, 2011. The increased headcount attributable to TMX Atrium (25), Razor Risk (36) and ir2020 (3) contributed to the higher costs. In addition, we continue to invest in our leading technologies, and over the past year we have continued to add resources to generate future revenue growth. For example, there have been 10 new employees engaged in the REPO initiative since Q2/11.
  
  
• We incurred approximately $2.8 million in higher costs due to the impact of share price appreciation on our long-term employee incentive plans.
  
  
• The higher costs were partially offset by higher capitalization of costs associated with technology initiatives and lower costs associated with short-term employee performance incentive plans.

Information and Trading Systems

(in millions of dollars)

• Information and trading systems expenses were higher primarily due to the inclusion of costs related to TMX Atrium.

General and Administration

(in millions of dollars)

• The increase in expenses was due to the inclusion of costs related to TMX Atrium and Razor Risk. In addition, we incurred bank fees relating to the REPO initiative, some of which have been charged back to the Clearing Members on a pro rated basis based on service usage, and are included in Derivatives Markets Trading, clearing and related revenue.
  
  
• The increase was also due to the inclusion of trade routing fees incurred by BOX and higher bad debt expenses, somewhat offset by lower consulting fees, marketing costs and a recovery of commodity taxes.

Depreciation and Amortization

(in millions of dollars)

• Depreciation and amortization costs increased due to increased amortization of intangible assets related to REPO clearing, on-book Dark Order types, TMX Select, TSX Quantumfeeds and co-location services as well as intangible assets related to acquisitions including TMX Atrium, Razor Risk and ir2020.

Maple and LSEG Related Costs

(in millions of dollars)

• In Q2/12, these costs included a $29.0 million fee to LSEG and $23.4 million of success fees to our financial advisors, payable in both cases upon Maple's initial take-up of TMX Group shares under the Maple offer, as well as legal, advisory and other costs incurred.
  
  
• In Q2/11, these costs included a $10.0 million fee due to LSEG upon termination of our merger agreement on June 29, 2011 as well as legal, advisory and other costs incurred.

Net Impairment Charges

(in millions of dollars)

NTP

• We entered the physical crude space in 2009 with the acquisition of NTP. On September 6, 2007, we paid $9.5 million for the right to acquire all the shares of NTP. The shareholders of NTP also had a right to sell all of the shares of NTP under the same terms to us. On May 1, 2009, we completed the acquisition of NTP and paid $23.7 million in cash in addition to issuing 878,059 TMX Group common shares. We recognized intangible assets related to the crude oil business acquired as part of the acquisition of NTP, including the customer list, a definite life intangible asset, along with the crude oil products and an index license, both indefinite life intangible assets.
  
  
• As required under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), we performed an impairment test on the intangible assets related to the acquisition of NTP at June 30, 2012. Based on the results of that test, despite a continued commitment to initiatives designed to regain NGX's crude oil market share and increase activity, it was determined that previously forecasted revenues would not be achieved. We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $44.6 million (pre-tax) related to all of the intangible assets of NTP. The main factor contributing to the impairment was a limited acceptance of NGX's crude oil clearing services, worsened by weak demand in the United States and Canada. In addition, there continues to be increased competition from voice brokers, including from Shorcan Energy Brokers. NGX's crude oil volumes have declined each quarter since Q1/11 and were down 75% in Q2/12 compared with Q2/11. These factors have resulted in a reduction in current and forecasted revenues.

BOX

• We recognized an impairment charge of $14.8 million ($6.8 million relating to non-controlling interests) relating to the BOX customer list intangible asset as part of our transition adjustments on conversion to IFRS.
  
  
• Since Q1/10, there has been an increase in BOX volumes in the U.S. options market. BOX's unique Price Improvement Period (PIP) auction, an automated trading mechanism which permits brokers to seek to improve executable client orders, remains favourable for customers and BOX runs on our SOLA technology, a leading-edge technology for equity options. BOX also recently announced the launch of its Complex Order offering in October 2012. As a result of the continued growth in BOX volumes and its success in the U.S. options market, we determined that this impairment no longer exists, and as a result recorded a gain of $13.4 million ($6.2 million related to Non-Controlling Interests) on the reversal of the impairment loss.

Finance Income

(in millions of dollars)

• The decrease in Finance income reflected higher unrealized gains in Q2/11 compared with Q2/12, partially offset by an increase in cash available for investment in Q2/12 compared with Q2/11.

Finance Costs

(in millions of dollars)

• Finance costs decreased as a result of lower fees on the debt outstanding (see Term Loan).

Income Tax (Recovery) Expense

(in millions of dollars)

• The decrease was primarily due to our significantly reduced net income in Q2/12 compared with Q2/11.
  
  
• In addition, in previous reporting periods, no deferred income tax assets were recognized relating to BOX as we did not consider it probable that those deferred income tax assets could be utilized.  We no longer consider that to be the case given the current performance of BOX.  As such, in Q2/12, net deferred income tax assets of $5.7 million, $6.8 million related to prior periods, were recognized, along with the related income tax recovery.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

(in millions of dollars)

• MX holds a 53.8% ownership interest in BOX. The results for BOX are consolidated in our consolidated Income Statement.
  
  
• Net income attributable to non-controlling interests represents the other BOX unitholders' share of BOX's net income in the period.
  
  
• The increase reflects the non-controlling interests' share of the non-cash reversal of an impairment loss on the intangible asset related to BOX, which was $6.2 million (see Net Impairment Charges - BOX). In addition, the increase in Q2/12 over Q2/11 is also due to higher net income from BOX, as a result of a 55% increase in trading volumes.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

Revenue

Revenue was $329.8 million in 1H/12, down $14.2 million, or 4% compared with $344.0 million for 1H/11, reflecting lower revenue from issuer services and cash markets trading. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue from derivatives markets trading and clearing, information services (including revenue from TMX Atrium, acquired July 29, 2011), and technology services and other (including revenue from Razor Risk, consolidated from February 14, 2012).

Issuer services revenue

(in millions of dollars)

• Initial listing fees in 1H/12 were lower primarily due to a decrease in the number and value of new listings on Toronto Stock Exchange compared with 1H/11. Initial listing fees in 1H/11 included approximately $3.0 million of revenue as a result of a large number of issuers converting from income trusts to corporate entities in the period.
  
  
• Additional listing fees in 1H/12 decreased compared with 1H/11 primarily due to a decrease in the number and value of additional financings on TSX Venture Exchange and the number of additional financings on Toronto Stock Exchange. While there was a significant increase in the value of additional listings on Toronto Stock Exchange in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11, this was driven by a number of high value transactions where the issuers paid the maximum listing fee.
  
  
• Issuers listed on Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange pay annual sustaining listing fees primarily based on their market capitalization at the end of the prior calendar year, subject to minimum and maximum fees. The decrease in sustaining listing fees was due to the overall lower market capitalization of listed issuers on both exchanges at the end of 2011 compared with the end of 2010. The decrease was also due to a reduction in certain fees effective January 1, 2012.

Trading, clearing and related revenue

(in millions of dollars)

Cash Markets

• Cash markets equity trading revenue decreased primarily due to a 42% decrease in the volume of securities traded on TSX Venture Exchange in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11 (24.05 billion securities in 1H/12 versus 41.60 billion securities traded in 1H/11) and an 18% decrease in the volume of securities traded on Toronto Stock Exchange in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11 (45.20 billion securities in 1H/12 versus 54.92 billion securities in 1H/11). Cash markets revenue also included revenue from TMX Select, which was launched in July 2011 (1.43 billion securities traded in 1H/12). Total volume traded on our combined equity markets was down 27% in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11. This was in line with the decline across all Canadian marketplaces.
  
  
• The decrease was also as a result of changes to our equity trading fee schedule effective March 1, 2011, which reduced the fees for significant usage for our Market on Open (MOO) facility and introduced net credit payments for trading in our continuous limit order book as well as additional changes effective April 1, 2011, which provided cost savings to participants that trade equities where the trade price per-security is lower than $1.00. Effective October 1, 2011, we also made changes to our market making fee schedule for Toronto Stock Exchange, including introducing monthly credits. The decrease was partially offset by a favourable product mix for Toronto Stock Exchange.
  
  
• The decrease in overall cash markets revenue also reflects a change in Shorcan fixed income trading product mix and a price decrease effective April 18, 2012.

Derivatives Markets

• The increase in derivatives markets revenue reflects higher revenues from BOX primarily as a result of a 37% increase in BOX volumes (80.26 million contracts in 1H/12 versus 58.40 million contracts traded in 1H/11).
  
  
• The increase in derivatives markets revenue also reflects an increase in trading and clearing revenue from MX and CDCC. Volumes increased by 11% over 1H/11 (34.22 million contracts traded in 1H/12 versus 30.82 million contracts traded in 1H/11) reflecting increased trading across all major products.  The increase in revenue was partially offset by the impact of price changes since 1H/11. Open interest was up 6% at June 30, 2012 compared with June 30, 2011.
  
  
• Derivatives markets revenue for 1H/12 also includes fees earned by CDCC for providing the clearing service on REPO transactions as well as bank fees that are charged back to Clearing Members (see Other Credit and Liquidity Facilities and Guarantee). This service was launched on February 21, 2012.

Energy Markets

• There was a 2% increase in total energy volume^# traded on NGX from 1H/11 (7.82 million terajoules in 1H/12 compared to 7.64 million terajoules in 1H/11) primarily due to a 3% increase in natural gas volumes; however, NGX deferred more revenue in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11.
  
  
• There was a 77% decline in NGX crude oil volumes (previously NTP's business) due to limited acceptance of NGX's crude oil clearing services and increased competition from voice brokers, including from Shorcan Energy Brokers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shorcan. This decrease in NGX crude oil revenue was essentially offset by higher revenue from Shorcan Energy Brokers driven by higher volumes in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11. During 1H/12, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge on the intangible assets related to NTP (see Net Impairment Charges).

^{________________________________}

^# NGX total energy volume includes trading and clearing in natural gas, crude oil and electricity.

Information services revenue

(in millions of dollars)

• The increase was primarily due to the inclusion and growth in revenue from TMX Atrium, acquired July 29, 2011, and higher revenue from co-location services, data feeds, index licensing and PC-Bond. The increase was also due to higher revenue recoveries related to under-reported usage of real-time quotes in prior periods during 1H/12 compared with 1H/11.
  
  
• The increase was also due to an 11% increase in the average number of MX market data subscriptions⁺ (27,186 MX market data subscriptions in 1H/12 compared with 24,475 in 1H/11), and a price increase effective April 1, 2012.
  
  
• The increases were partially offset by net price reductions on TSX market data subscriptions effective October 1, 2011 and April 1, 2012, and lower revenue from usage based quotes.
  
  
• Overall, there was a 5% decrease in the average number of professional and equivalent real-time market data subscriptions⁺ to Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange products compared with 1H/11 (154,098 professional and equivalent real-time market data subscriptions in 1H/12 compared with 161,438 in 1H/11).

Technology services and other revenue

(in millions of dollars)

• Technology services and other revenue increased primarily due to receipt of a one-time termination fee, recovery of disposal and severance costs, and recognition of previously deferred revenue from IIROC of approximately $5.0 million. We consolidated revenue from Razor Risk, effective from February 14, 2012. In addition, we realized lower net foreign exchange losses on U.S. dollar accounts receivable in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11.
  
  
• Offsetting these increases in revenue was the loss in revenue from IIROC following the termination of our contract to provide services effective March 31, 2012, which amounts to approximately $6.7 million on an annual basis.

REPO interest

(in millions of dollars)

• On February 21, 2012, CDCC launched the clearing of fixed income REPO agreements. The interest income and interest expense arising from the REPO agreements are equal. However, as CDCC does not have a legal right to offset these amounts, they are recognized separately on the condensed consolidated income statement.
  
  
• From February 21, 2012 through June 30, 2012, CDCC cleared 5,183 transactions, comprised of 93 eligible ISINs with a notional value of $234.2 billion.
  
  
• Fees earned by CDCC for providing the clearing service for the REPO agreements are included in Derivatives Markets Trading, clearing and related revenue.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses in 1H/12 were $165.4 million, up $16.8 million, or 11%, from $148.6 million in 1H/11 primarily due to the inclusion of approximately $11.0 million of expenses related to TMX Atrium, acquired July 29, 2011, Razor Risk, consolidated from February 14, 2012 and ir2020, the assets of which were acquired December 23, 2011. There was an overall increase in salary and benefits costs, information and trading systems costs and depreciation and amortization, somewhat offset by lower general and administration costs due to the inclusion in 1H/11 of a commodity tax adjustment of $4.8 million relating to prior periods.

Compensation and Benefits

(in millions of dollars)

• Compensation and benefits costs increased due to an overall increase in salary and benefits costs relating to increased headcount and merit increases. There were 951 employees at June 30, 2012 versus 857 employees at June 30, 2011. The increased headcount attributable to TMX Atrium (25), Razor Risk (36) and ir2020 (3) contributed to the higher costs. In addition, we continue to invest in our leading technologies, and over the past year we have continued to add resources to generate future revenue growth. For example, there have been 10 new employees engaged in the REPO initiative since 1H/11.
  
  
• We incurred approximately $2.8 million in higher costs due to the impact of share price appreciation on our long-term employee incentive plans.
  
  
• The higher costs were partially offset by higher capitalization of costs associated with technology initiatives and lower costs associated with short-term employee performance incentive plans.

Information and Trading Systems

(in millions of dollars)

• Information and trading systems expenses were higher primarily due to the inclusion of costs related to TMX Atrium.
  
  
• The increase was also due to higher spending on new technology initiatives in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11. We invested in a number of new projects, including TMX Quantum XA, REPO clearing and corporate software conversions.

General and Administration

(in millions of dollars)

• In 1H/11, General and Administration costs included a commodity tax adjustment of $4.8 million relating to prior periods. This was partially offset by the inclusion of costs related to TMX Atrium and Razor Risk in 1H/12. In addition, we incurred bank fees relating to the REPO initiative, some of which have been charged back to the Clearing Members on a pro rated basis based on service usage, and are included in Derivatives Markets Trading, clearing and related revenue.
  
  
• The increase was also due to the inclusion of trade routing fees incurred by BOX, somewhat offset by lower marketing costs and lower bad debt expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

(in millions of dollars)

• Depreciation and amortization costs increased due to increased amortization of intangible assets related to REPO clearing, on-book Dark Order types, TMX Select, TSX Quantumfeeds and co-location services as well as intangible assets related to acquisitions including TMX Atrium, Razor Risk and ir2020.

Maple and LSEG Related Costs

(in millions of dollars)

• In 1H/12, these costs included a $29.0 million fee to LSEG and $23.4 million of success fees to our financial advisors, payable in both cases upon Maple's initial take-up of TMX Group shares under the Maple offer, as well as legal, advisory and other costs incurred.
• In 1H/11, these costs included a $10.0 million fee due to LSEG upon termination of our merger agreement on June 29, 2011 as well as legal, advisory and other costs incurred.

Net Impairment Charges

(in millions of dollars)

NTP

• We entered the physical crude space in 2009 with the acquisition of NTP. On September 6, 2007, we paid $9.5 million for the right to acquire all the shares of NTP. On May 1, 2009, we completed the acquisition of NTP and paid $23.7 million in cash in addition to issuing 878,059 TMX Group common shares. We recognized intangible assets related to the crude oil business acquired as part of the acquisition of NTP, including the customer list, a definite life intangible asset, along with the crude oil products and an index license, both indefinite life intangible assets.
  
  
• As required under IFRS, we performed an impairment test on the intangible assets of NTP at June 30, 2012. Based on the results of that test, despite a continued commitment to initiatives designed to regain NGX's crude oil market share and increase activity, it was determined that previously forecasted revenues would not be achieved. We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $44.6 million (pre-tax) related to all of the intangible assets in NTP. The main factor contributing to the impairment was a limited acceptance of NGX's clearing services, worsened by weak demand in the United States and Canada. In addition, there continues to be increased competition from voice brokers, including from Shorcan Energy Brokers. NGX's crude oil volumes have declined each quarter since Q1/11 and were down 75% in Q2/12 compared with Q2/11. These factors have resulted in a reduction in current and forecasted revenues.

BOX

• We recognized an impairment charge of $14.8 million ($6.8 million relating to non-controlling interests) relating to the BOX customer list intangible asset as part of our transition adjustments on conversion to IFRS.
  
  
• Since Q1/10, there has been an increase in BOX volumes in the U.S. options market. BOX's unique Price Improvement Period (PIP) auction, an automated trading mechanism which permits brokers to seek to improve executable client orders, remains favourable for customers and BOX runs on our SOLA technology, a leading-edge technology for equity options. BOX also recently announced the launch of its Complex Order offering in October 2012. As a result of the continued growth in BOX volumes and its success in the U.S. options market, we determined that this impairment no longer exists, and as a result recorded a gain of $13.4 million ($6.2 million related to Non-Controlling Interests) on the reversal of the impairment loss.

Finance Income

(in millions of dollars)

• The increase in Finance income reflected an increase in cash available for investment in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11, largely offset by unrealized losses in 1H/12.

Finance Costs

(in millions of dollars)

• Finance costs increased as a result of higher fees on the debt outstanding (see Term Loan).

Income Tax (Recovery) Expense

(in millions of dollars)

• The decrease was primarily due to our significantly reduced net income in 1H/12 compared with 1H/11.
  
  
• In addition, in previous reporting periods, no deferred income tax assets were recognized relating to BOX as we did not consider it probable that those deferred income tax assets could be utilized.  We no longer consider that to be the case given the current performance of BOX.  As such, in 1H/12, net deferred income tax assets of $5.7 million, $7.6 million related to prior periods, were recognized, along with the related income tax recovery.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

(in millions of dollars)

• MX holds a 53.8% ownership interest in BOX. The results for BOX are consolidated in our Income Statement.
  
  
• Net income attributable to non-controlling interests represents the other BOX unitholders' share of BOX's net income in the period.
  
  
• The increase reflects the non-controlling interests' share of the non-cash reversal of an impairment loss on the intangible asset related to BOX, which was $6.2 million (see Net Impairment Charges - BOX). In addition, the increase in 1H/12 over 1H/11 reflects higher net income from BOX, partly due to significantly higher trading volumes.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2012

Summary of Financial Information

(in millions of dollars, except per share amounts)

• Revenue in Q2/12 increased over Q1/12. In Q2/12, we had higher derivatives markets trading and clearing revenue as well as higher technology services and other revenue including revenue from Razor Risk (consolidated from February 14, 2012) and increased revenue from issuer services and information services. The increases in revenue were offset by lower cash markets trading revenue.
  
  
• Basic and diluted earnings per share for Q2/12 decreased over Q1/12 primarily due to higher Maple and LSEG related costs and net impairment charges somewhat offset by lower income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

(in millions of dollars)

• The increase was primarily due to $125.8 million of cash from operating activities, partially offset by dividend payments of $59.8 million, capital expenditures of $11.9 million, additions to intangible assets of $10.7 million and acquisitions for $9.7 million.

^{________________________________}

^v Earnings per share information is based on net income attributable to TMX Group shareholders.

Total Assets

(in millions of dollars)

• Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2012 includes outstanding balances on open REPO agreements within Balances with Clearing Members (formerly Daily settlements and cash deposits), following CDCC's launch of clearing of fixed income REPO agreements on February 21, 2012. OTC REPO agreements between buying and selling Clearing Members are novated to CDCC whereby the rights and obligations of the Clearing Members under the REPO agreements are cancelled and replaced by new agreements with CDCC. Once novation occurs, CDCC becomes the counterparty to both the buying and selling Clearing Member. As a result, the contractual right to receive and return the principal amount of the REPO as well as the contractual right to receive and pay interest on the REPO is transferred to CDCC. Receivable and payable balances outstanding with the same Clearing Member are offset when they are in the same currency and are to be settled on the same day, as CDCC has a legally enforceable right to offset. Balances with Clearing Members include outstanding balances on open REPO transactions, including both the original principal amount of the REPO and the accrued interest, which are both carried at amortized cost. As CDCC is the central counterparty, an equivalent amount is recognized in both assets and liabilities. Balances with Clearing Members were $7,223.0 million at June 30, 2012 compared with $550.8 million at December 31, 2011.
  
  
• The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in energy contracts receivable of $307.6 million related to the clearing operations of NGX and a decrease in the fair value of energy contracts of $48.1 million at June 30, 2012 compared with December 31, 2011.

Credit and Liquidity Facilities and Guarantee

Term Loan

(in millions of dollars)

• In connection with the combination with MX, we established a non-revolving three-year term unsecured credit facility of $430.0 million (the Term Loan). On April 30, 2008, we borrowed $430.0 million in Canadian funds under the Term Loan to satisfy the cash consideration of the purchase price for MX. This credit facility has been extended and is currently set to expire on December 28, 2012, but will become immediately due and payable upon a change of control of TMX Group as a result of the proposed Maple transaction. If a change of control occurs on July 31, 2012, TMX Group expects to repay the loan on August 1, 2012, using a combination of cash, marketable securities and new debt that will be put in place as part of the Maple transaction.
  
  
• This credit facility contains customary covenants, including a requirement that TMX Group maintain:
• a maximum debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.5:1, where adjusted EBITDA means earnings on a consolidated basis before interest, taxes, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items, depreciation and amortization, all determined in accordance with IFRS;
  
  
• a minimum consolidated net worth covenant based on a pre-determined formula; and
  
  
• a debt incurrence test whereby debt to adjusted EBITDA must not exceed 3.0:1.
  
  At June 30, 2012, all covenants were met.

Other Credit and Liquidity Facilities and Guarantee

To backstop its clearing operations, NGX currently has a credit agreement in place with a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank which includes a US$100.0 million clearing backstop fund. We are NGX's unsecured guarantor for this fund up to a maximum of US$100.0 million. This facility had not been drawn upon at June 30, 2012.

NGX also has an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Daylight liquidity facility of $300.0 million in place with a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank. NGX also has a $20.0 million overdraft facility.

In 2011, CDCC put in place a $300.0 million daylight liquidity facility with a Canadian Schedule I bank. In January 2012, CDCC replaced its $50 million revolving standby liquidity facility with a $100.0 million syndicated revolving standby liquidity facility and signed an additional daylight liquidity facility for $400.0 million with a Canadian Schedule 1 chartered bank, for a total of $700.0 million in daylight liquidity facilities. CDCC's revolving standby liquidity facility is in place to provide end of day liquidity in the event that CDCC is unable to clear the daylight liquidity facilities to zero. This would only occur in the event of a Clearing Member default.  Advances under the revolving facility will be secured by collateral in the form of securities that have been received by CDCC.  CDCC's daylight liquidity facilities are in place to provide liquidity on the basis of collateral in the form of securities that have been received by CDCC. The daylight liquidity facilities must be cleared to zero at the end of each day. The revolving facilities had not been drawn upon at June 30, 2012.

In February 2012, CDCC signed a $1.2 billion repurchase facility with a syndicate of six Canadian Schedule 1 chartered banks (the syndicated REPO facility). The facility is comprised of $300.0 million in committed liquidity and $900.0 million in uncommitted liquidity. In April 2012, the CDCC syndicated REPO facility was increased from $1.2 billion to $4.8 billion. The revised facility is comprised of $1.2 billion in committed liquidity and $3.6 billion in uncommitted liquidity. The facility remains with the same syndicate of six Canadian Schedule 1 chartered banks. CDCC's syndicated REPO facility is also in place to provide end of day liquidity in the event that CDCC is unable to clear the daylight liquidity facilities to zero. This would only occur in the event of a Clearing Member default. The facility will provide liquidity in exchange for securities that have been received by CDCC. The bank fees for this facility are included in General and Administration costs. However, these bank fees are charged back to the Clearing Members on a pro rated basis based on service usage, and are included in Derivatives Markets Trading, clearing and related revenue. The syndicated REPO facility had not been drawn upon at June 30, 2012.

In April 2012, CDCC signed an agreement that would allow the Bank of Canada to provide emergency last-resort liquidity to CDCC at the discretion of the Bank of Canada. This facility is intended to provide end of day liquidity only in the event that CDCC is unable to access liquidity from the revolving standby liquidity facility and the syndicated REPO facility. Use of this facility would be on a fully collateralized basis.

Total Equity attributable to Shareholders of TMX Group

(in millions of dollars)

• We earned $58.6 million of net income attributable to TMX Group shareholders during 1H/12 and paid $59.8 million in dividends.
  
  
• During Q2/12, we amended our share option plan to permit holders of vested rights to acquire TMX Group common shares to exchange those rights for a cash settlement amount (net of withholdings) immediately prior to the take up by Maple of TMX Group common shares under the Maple offer. The cash settlement amount is equal to the "in-the-money" value of the related right (less applicable withholdings). The in-the money value is equal to the amount, if any, by which the trading price of the TMX Group common shares immediately before take-up by Maple of TMX Group common shares under the Maple offer exceeds the exercise price of the relevant right. As a result of this modification to the share option plan, we recognized a $17.1 million liability as at June 30, 2012, included within trade and other payables on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, representing the fair value of the vested share options at that date and Total Equity attributable to Shareholders of TMX Group was reduced by $17.1 million.
  
  
• We have elected to recognize the entire liability as a reclassification from equity, as allowed under IFRS 2, Share-based Payments, with $10.9 million representing the previously amortized share option fair value, charged to contributed surplus and the remaining $6.2 million charged to retained earnings. TMX Group will re-measure the liability at fair value until the awards are settled.
  
  
• At June 30, 2012, there were 74,695,248 common shares issued and outstanding. In Q2/12, 4,000 common shares were issued on the exercise of share options. At June 30, 2012, 3,737,168 common shares were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the share option plan. At June 30, 2012, there were 1,763,655 options outstanding.
  
  
• At July 25, 2012, there were 74,699,721 common shares issued and outstanding and 1,759,182 options outstanding under the share option plan.
