NEW YORK (Reuters) - NYSE Group Inc. (NYSE:NYX - News), owner of the New York Stock Exchange, said on Wednesday its quarterly profit rose nearly 17 percent, in its first earnings report since becoming a public company.
Net income was $30.3 million, or 24 cents a share, against $26 million, or 22 cents a share, a year ago.
NYSE became a publicly traded company on March 8, through its acquisition of Archipelago Holdings Inc., a publicly listed electronic trading platform.
In addition to Archipelago, the-first quarter results include earnings from options exchange the Pacific Exchange.
The figures include a $37.7 million charge, mainly related to a compensation award granted to NYSE employees at the time of the merger, and a $20.9 million gain on the sale of an investment in the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp., a New York-based organization that provides clearing and settlement services.
Excluding the items and assuming the merger took place on January 1,
the NYSE earned 34 cents a share.
Analysts polled by Reuters expected, on average, earnings of 25 cents for the quarter.
Revenue rose 28 percent to $478.9 million.
