Segment Overview
Electronic Brokerage
Electronic Brokerage segment income before income taxes increased 34%, to $108 million, in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period last year. Commissions and execution fees increased 20% from the year-ago quarter, reflecting growth in customer accounts and higher average trading activity per customer. Net interest income grew 19% from the year-ago quarter, to $56 million in this quarter. Pretax profit margin was 56% for this quarter, up from 48% in the same period last year.
Total DARTs(1) for cleared and execution-only customers increased 21% to 471,000 from the year-ago quarter. Cleared DARTs were 426,000 in this quarter, 15% higher than the same period last year. Customer accounts grew 13% to 231,000 from the year-ago quarter. Customer equity increased 31%, to $41.4 billion, from the year-ago quarter(2). Customer margin borrowings were $3.5 billion higher than at the same time last year, ending the quarter at $12.7 billion.
Market Making
Market Making segment income before income taxes decreased to $88 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 from $90 million for the same period in 2012. Removing the effects of currency translation, the Market Making segment produced $41 million pretax income in this quarter, compared to $49 million for the same period last year. Decrease in profit was driven by a continued lackluster market making environment marked by low volatility and decreasing actual to implied volatility. The average CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, edged down during this quarter.
Currency translation gain was $46 million in this quarter, compared to a $42 million gain in the year-ago quarter.
Effects of Foreign Currency Diversification
In connection with our currency strategy, we have determined to base our net worth in GLOBALs, a basket of 16 major currencies in which we hold our equity. In this quarter, our currency diversification program increased our comprehensive earnings by $76 million, as the U.S. dollar value of the GLOBAL increased by approximately 1.5%. The effects of currency diversification are reported as components of (1) Market Making Trading Gains and (2) Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). In this quarter 61% of the GLOBAL effect was captured in Market Making Trading Gains in the Net Income section of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, with the remainder reported as OCI in the separate Comprehensive Income section of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Daily average revenue trades (DARTs) are based on customer orders. |

Approximately 10% of the increase in customer equity was due to the reclassification of certain related accounts from “non-customer” to “customer”, which are regulatory distinctions. |

** In Brazil, an equity option contract typically represents 1 share of the underlying stock; however, the typical minimum trading quantity is 100 contracts. To make a fair comparison to volume at other exchanges, we have adopted a policy of reporting Brazilian equity options contracts divided by their trading quantity of 100. |
