The financial results for fiscal year 2014 are as follows:

• Consolidated operating turnover of EUR 42.7m, a 5% increase over financial year 2013
• Net profit of EUR 10.8m, a 32% increase over financial year 2013
• Distribution of a gross dividend of EUR 60 per share (EUR 51 net), an increase of 20%.

These results stem from the growth of all of the group’s business lines and in particular from the strengthening of its listing activities (10,669 new securities listed in 2014 valued at more than 1 trillion euros from some 750 issuers) and from the strong results of its wholly owned subsidiary Fundsquare (20% turnover increase since its launch in 2013). As a subsidiary of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, Fundsquare operates as a fund market utility offering all actors from the fund industry unique solutions for order management, information and regulatory compliance to enable operational effectiveness across the entire distribution chain.

The group hence confirms its unrivalled position as the world number one exchange for the listing of international securities with a market share of 40% of international securities listed in Europe and 20% of international securities listed worldwide.

The group furthermore shows a leadership position in the listing of both RMB-denominated securities (Dim Sum bonds and Schengen bonds), with a market share outside Asia above 50%, and high yield bonds, with a market share around 60%. The group also saw a number of listing firsts, including its first “green bond” (KfW), two project bonds (European Investment Bank), the first series of an EMTN programme denominated in Indian rupees (IFC - World Bank group), as well as four sukuk (Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Goldman Sachs, Republic of South Africa, Islamic Republic of Pakistan).
