The Company operates 17 global exchanges and six central clearing houses. ICE Group was organized on March 6, 2013 as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. for the purpose of effecting the acquisition of NYSE Euronext Holdings LLC ("NYSE Euronext"), which occurred on November 13, 2013 (Note 3).

("Euronext") and is a global markets operator and provider of securities listing, trading, market data products, and software and technology services.


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from these estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. As discussed in Note 3, the Company completed an acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and has included the financial results of this company in its consolidated financial statements effective from the acquisition date.

For those consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100% and for which the Company has control over the assets and liabilities and the management of the entity, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as non-controlling interests.

Segment Information


3.	Acquisitions

NYSE Euronext Acquisition

On November 13, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of NYSE Euronext for a combination of cash and stock. The total purchase price was $11.1 billion and included cash consideration of $2.7 billion and the issuance of 42.4 million shares of the

Company's common stock to NYSE Euronext stockholders. The fair value of the shares issued was $8.4 billion based on the closing share price of the Company's common stock of 197.80 per share on November 12, 2013.

Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to NYSE Euronext’s preliminary net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on the estimated fair values of those assets as of November 13, 2013, as set forth below. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents potential revenue synergies related to clearing and new product development, expense synergies related to technology and clearing, and opportunities to enter new markets. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in millions):



Property and equipment	641
Goodwill	7,394
Identifiable intangible assets	8,521
Other assets and liabilities, net	152
Deferred tax liabilities on identifiable intangible assets	(2,763		)
Short-term and long-term debt	(2,529		)
Non-controlling interests	(327		)
Total preliminary purchase price allocation	$	11,089

In performing the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of NYSE Euronext’s business. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon the completion of the fair value analysis of the acquired assets and liabilities, including the preliminary intangible assets. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation based on updated fair value analyses of the NYSE Euronext tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. The fair value adjustments reflected in the tables above and below, primarily result in an increase in the customer relationships intangible assets of $60 million, an increase in the deferred tax liabilities on identifiable intangible assets of $29 million and a corresponding decrease to goodwill of $28 million. The income statement impact for 2013 relating to these fair value adjustments is not significant. The Company has not yet obtained all of the information related to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities related to the acquisition to finalize the purchase price allocation. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of the identifiable intangible assets, income taxes and certain other tangible assets and liabilities, and the allocation of the goodwill to the various reporting units.

The following table sets forth the components of the preliminary intangible assets and the net book value as of March 31, 2014 (in millions, except years):



Preliminary Intangible Assets	Preliminary Acquisition-Date Fair Value		Foreign Currency Translation		Accumulated Amortization			Net Book Value		Useful Life
Exchange registrations and licenses	$	6,960	$	154	$	—		$	7,114	Indefinite
Customer relationships	1,128		22		(21		)	1,129		17-25 years
Trade names	320		2		(1		)	321		3 years to Indefinite
Developed technology	113		1		(14		)	100		3 years
Total	$	8,521	$	179	$	(36	)	$	8,664

The Company has incurred $30 million in employee termination costs during the three months ended March 31, 2014 following the acquisition, which are included in acquisition-related transaction and integration costs.

The financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of the Company and NYSE Euronext, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of January 1, 2013. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the period presented. Such pro forma financial information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and NYSE Euronext. This pro forma financial information is based on estimates and assumptions that have been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma information, including, without limitation, preliminary purchase accounting adjustments. The pro forma financial information does not reflect any synergies or operating cost reductions that may be achieved from the combined operations. The pro forma financial information combines the historical results for the Company and NYSE Euronext for the three months ended March 31, 2013 in the following table (in millions, except per share amounts):



Total revenues, less transaction-based expenses	$	927
Operating income	$	412
Net income attributable to the Company	$	265
Earnings per common share — Basic	$	2.31
Earnings per common share — Diluted	$	2.30

SMX Acquisition

On February 3, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of Singapore Mercantile Exchange Pte. Ltd. (“SMX”). The acquisition includes Singapore Mercantile Exchange Clearing Corporation Pte. Ltd. (“SMXCC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SMX, and the clearing house for all SMX trades. SMX operates futures markets in Singapore across metals, currencies, energy and agricultural commodities and SMXCC clears the contracts executed on SMX. SMX and SMXCC retain licenses to operate as an approved exchange and an approved clearing house, regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. These licenses provide the Company with exchange and clearing licenses in Asia. The exchange and clearing infrastructures are expected to transition to the ICE trading and clearing platforms in the second half of 2014. As a result, a period of business transition is currently underway and the exchange and clearing house have been temporarily shut down and are expected to re-launch by year end. The financial results of SMX are not expected to be material to the 2014 results for the Company. On April 22, 2014, SMX and SMXCC were renamed ICE Futures Singapore and ICE Clear Singapore, respectively.

The SMX purchase price was allocated to the preliminary net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on the preliminary fair value of those assets as of February 3, 2014. The preliminary net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired were $49 million. The Company has recorded preliminary intangible assets of $31 million for exchange registrations and licenses, which have been assigned an indefinite life. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was $101 million and was recorded as goodwill.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon the completion of the fair value analysis of the acquired assets and liabilities, including the preliminary intangible assets. The Company has not yet obtained all of the information related to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities related to the acquisition to finalize the purchase price allocation. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of the identifiable intangible assets, income taxes and certain other tangible assets and liabilities.


4.	Short-Term and Long-Term Restricted Cash and Investments

The Company classifies all cash and cash equivalents that are not available for general use by the Company, either due to regulatory requirements or through restrictions in specific agreements, as restricted in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with ICE Clear U.S.’s election to be subject to Subpart C of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's ("CFTC") regulation (which accordingly, permits recognition as a Qualified Central Counter Party ("QCCP")), the Company contributed $50 million to ICE Clear U.S.’s guaranty fund on January 1, 2014 (Note 9), with such amount being reflected as long-term restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.

The foreign currency translation adjustments in the tables above result from a portion of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets being held at the Company’s United Kingdom ("U.K."), European, Singapore and Canadian subsidiaries, some of whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar. The other activity, net in the tables above results from adjustments to the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relating to the NYSE Euronext acquisition, with a corresponding charge to goodwill (Note 3). The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on goodwill or other intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

2014 Credit Facility

On April 3, 2014, the Company, as parent borrower, and its subsidiary ICE Europe Parent Limited, as subsidiary borrower, entered into a new $3.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2014 Credit Facility”) pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of April 3, 2014 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as administrative agent, issuing lender and swingline lender, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and the lenders party thereto. The 2014 Credit Facility includes an option for the Company to propose an increase in the aggregate amount by up to $1.0 billion, subject to the consent of the lenders funding the increase and certain other conditions. The Company incurred $11 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the 2014 Credit Facility, which will be amortized over the term of the agreement.

The 2014 Credit Facility matures on April 3, 2019. Amounts borrowed under the 2014 Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. The 2014 Credit Facility provides for a $3.0 billion multi-currency revolving facility, with sub-limits for non-dollar borrowings, swingline borrowings and letters of credit. No amounts have been drawn under the 2014 Credit Facility. As of April 3, 2014, of the $3.0 billion that was available for borrowing under the 2014 Credit Facility, $1.3 billion is required to back stop the amount outstanding at that time under the Company's commercial paper program and $303 million is reserved for our clearing houses, both as discussed below. As of April 3, 2014, the remaining $1.4 billion is available to the Company to use for working capital

and general corporate purposes, and any portion of the revolving credit facility no longer necessary in the future to be reserved for the foregoing purposes will be available to the Company to use for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Borrowings under the 2014 Credit Facility will bear interest on the principal amount outstanding at either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate or (b) a “base rate” plus an applicable margin rate; provided, however, that all loans denominated in a foreign currency will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate. The “base rate” equals the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (iii) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. The applicable margin rate is based upon the Company’s public long term debt ratings and ranges from 0.875% to 1.5% on LIBOR borrowings and from 0.00% to 0.50% on base rate borrowings.

The 2014 Credit Facility includes an unutilized revolving credit commitment fee that is equal to the unused maximum revolver amount, multiplied by an applicable commitment fee rate and is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. The applicable commitment fee rate ranges from 0.080% to 0.200% and is determined based on the Company's long term debt rating. As of April 3, 2014, the applicable commitment fee rate was 0.125% based on the Company’s current long term debt ratings.

Of the amounts available under the 2014 Credit Facility: (i) $150 million of such amounts has been reserved to provide liquidity or required financial resources for the clearing operations of ICE Clear Europe, (ii) $100 million of such amounts has been reserved to provide liquidity or required financial resources for the clearing operations of ICE Clear Credit, (iii) $50 million of such amounts has been reserved to provide liquidity or required financial resources for the clearing operations of ICE Clear U.S., and (iv) $3 million of such amounts has been reserved to provide liquidity or required financial resources for the clearing operations of ICE Clear Canada. From time to time, the Company may agree to provide additional liquidity to its subsidiaries to meet regulatory capital requirements, general corporate purposes or short term liquidity needs.

The 2014 Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default, including a leverage ratio, as well as limitations on liens on the Company's assets, indebtedness of non-obligor subsidiaries, the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, and other matters.

Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility (2011 Credit Facilities)

In November 2011, the Company entered into senior unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate amount of $2.6 billion (the “2011 Credit Facilities”). The 2011 Credit Facilities consisted of (i) an aggregate $500 million five-year senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) an aggregate $2.1 billion five-year senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The 2011 Credit Facilities were scheduled to mature on November 9, 2016. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $367 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, in the form of a LIBOR rate loan with a stated interest rate of 2.0275% per annum.

In connection with the Company entering into the 2014 Credit Facility on April 3, 2014, the 2011 Credit Facilities were terminated and the $367 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was repaid through the issuance of new commercial paper, as discussed below. As of March 31, 2014, the $367 million was reflected as short-term debt and there were no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

364 Day Facility

In July 2013, the Company entered into a $600 million 364 day senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “364 Day Facility”). The 364 Day Facility was available for working capital and general corporate purposes. In connection with the Company entering into the 2014 Credit Facility, the 364 Day Facility was terminated on April 3, 2014, at which time no amounts were outstanding.

Commercial Paper Program

In December 2013, the Company entered into a U.S. dollar commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”). The Commercial Paper Program is currently backed by the borrowing capacity available under the 2014 Credit Facility, equal to the amount of the commercial paper that is issued and outstanding at any given point in time. The effective interest rate of commercial paper issuances does not materially differ from short term interest rates (such as USD LIBOR). The fluctuation of these rates due to market conditions may therefore impact the interest expense incurred by the Company.

Commercial paper notes of $930 million and original maturities ranging from 1 to 60 days were outstanding as of March 31, 2014 under the Commercial Paper Program. As of March 31, 2014, the weighted average interest rate on the $930 million outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program was 0.33% per annum, with a weighted average maturity of 35 days. The Company used the net proceeds from $367 million in new commercial paper issued under the Commercial Paper Program on April 1, 2014 to repay the $367 million that was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility as discussed above.

Senior Notes and NYSE Euronext Notes

In October 2013, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due October 2018 (the “2018 Senior Notes”) and $800 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due October 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”, together with the 2018 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”). In connection with the acquisition of NYSE Euronext, one of the Company's subsidiaries assumed the outstanding NYSE Euronext debt instruments, which included $850 million of 2.0% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in October 2017 (the “NYSE Euronext USD Notes”) and €920 million ($1.3 billion) of 5.375% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in June 2015 (the “NYSE Euronext EUR Notes”, and together with the NYSE Euronext USD Notes, the "NYSE Euronext Notes").


7.	Equity

The Company currently sponsors employee and director stock option and restricted stock plans. Stock options and restricted stock are granted at the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors. All stock options and restricted stock awards are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value is based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of the stock options and restricted stock on the date of grant is recognized as expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The non-cash compensation expenses recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for stock options and restricted stock were $17 million and $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following is a summary of stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2014:



	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price per Option
Outstanding at December 31, 2013	872,347		$	97.92
Granted	154,202		206.87
Exercised	(66,593	)	37.11
Outstanding at March 31, 2014	959,956		119.64

Details of stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2014 are as follows:



	Number of Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In millions)
Vested or expected to vest	959,956	$	119.64	6.0	$	76
Exercisable	690,712	$	99.21	4.8	$	68

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $12 million and $7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, there were $11 million in total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years as the stock options vest.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for purposes of valuing stock option awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company used the weighted-average assumptions in the table below to compute the value of all options for shares of common stock granted to employees:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
Assumptions	2014			2013
Risk-free interest rate	1.23		%	0.53		%
Expected life in years	5.0			4.0
Expected volatility	27		%	37		%
Expected dividend yield	1.26		%	0		%
Estimated weighted-average fair value of options granted per share	$	45.23		$	38.41

The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life computation is derived from historical exercise patterns and anticipated future patterns. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. Expected dividend yields have historically been 0% prior to the November 13, 2013 acquisition of NYSE Euronext since the Company did not (and had not contemplated) paying a dividend prior to the acquisition of NYSE Euronext. The Company's new dividend policy will impact the expected dividend yield on all stock options granted post-acquisition.

In February 2014, the Company reserved a maximum of 351,310 restricted shares for potential issuance as performance-based restricted shares to certain Company employees. The number of shares that will ultimately be granted under the performance awards will be based on the Company’s actual financial performance as compared to financial performance targets set by the Company’s board of directors and compensation committee for the year ending December 31, 2014. These restricted shares are also subject to a market condition that could reduce the number of shares that are ultimately granted. The reduction would occur if the Company’s 2014 total shareholder return falls below the 2014 return of the S&P 500 Index and the Company achieves an above “target” financial performance level threshold. If the Company’s 2014 total shareholder return were to fall below the 2014 return of the S&P 500 Index, the reduction would be either 10% or 20% of the number of shares granted, depending on the difference in the aforementioned returns.

The grant date of this award was February 27, 2014, which was the date when the Company and the employees reached a mutual understanding of award terms. February 27, 2014 is also the service inception date as that is the date when the requisite service period began. The maximum compensation expense to be recognized under these performance-based restricted shares is $71 million if the maximum financial performance target is met and all 351,310 shares vest. The compensation expense to be recognized under these performance-based restricted shares will be $35 million if the target financial performance is met, which would result in 175,655 shares vesting. The Company will recognize expense on an accelerated basis over the three-year vesting period based on the Company’s quarterly assessment of the probable 2014 actual financial performance as compared to the 2014 financial performance targets. If the market condition is not achieved, compensation cost will not be affected since the grant date fair value of the award gave consideration to the probability of market condition achievement.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company determined that it is probable that the target financial performance level will be met for 2014. Based on this assessment as of March 31, 2014, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to these shares and the remaining $33 million in non-cash compensation expense will be recorded on an accelerated basis over the remaining vesting period, including $16 million of which will be recorded over the remainder of 2014.

The following is a summary of the non-vested restricted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2014:



	Number of Restricted Stock Shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Non-vested at December 31, 2013	1,234,552	$	147.00
Granted	415,097	206.20
Vested	(393,728)	119.15
Forfeited	(12,592)	140.41
Non-vested at March 31, 2014	1,243,329	175.65

Restricted stock shares granted in the table above include both time-based and performance-based grants. Performance-based shares have been adjusted to reflect the actual shares to be issued based on the achievement of past performance targets. Non-vested performance-based restricted shares granted are presented in the table above at the maximum number of restricted shares that would vest if the maximum performance targets are met. As of March 31, 2014, there were $160 million in total unrecognized compensation costs related to the time-based restricted stock and the performance-based restricted stock. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years as the restricted stock vests. These unrecognized compensation costs assume that a target performance level will be met on the performance-based restricted shares granted in February 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the total fair value of restricted stock vested under all restricted stock plans was $84 million and $50 million, respectively.


8.	Income Taxes from Continuing Operations

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations was 28% for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to favorable foreign tax rate differentials, partially offset by state income taxes. Favorable foreign income tax rate differentials result primarily from lower tax rates in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and various other lower tax jurisdictions.

The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries had $1.8 billion billion in cumulative undistributed earnings as of March 31, 2014. This amount represents the post-income tax earnings under U.S. GAAP adjusted for previously taxed income. The earnings from the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, a determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability is not practicable. Any future distribution by way of dividend of these non-U.S. earnings may subject the Company to both U.S. federal and state income taxes, as adjusted for non-U.S. tax credits, and withholding taxes payable to various non-U.S. countries.


9.	Clearing Organizations

The Company operates six regulated central counterparty clearing houses for the settlement and clearance of derivative contracts. The six central counterparty clearing houses include ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear U.S., ICE Clear Canada, ICE Clear Credit, The Clearing Corporation ("TCC") and ICE Clear Singapore, and are referred to herein collectively as the “ICE Clearing Houses”.

Each of the ICE Clearing Houses requires all clearing members to maintain cash on deposit or pledge certain assets, which may include government obligations, letters of credit, gold or emission allowances to guarantee performance on the clearing members’ open positions. Such amounts in total are known as “original margin.” The ICE Clearing Houses may make intraday original margin calls in circumstances where market conditions require additional protection. The daily profits and losses from and to the ICE Clearing Houses in respect of marking to market open contracts is known as “variation margin”. The ICE Clearing Houses mark all outstanding contracts to market, and therefore pay and collect variation margin, at least once daily, and in some cases multiple times throughout the day. Marking-to-market allows our clearing houses to identify any clearing members that may be unable to satisfy the financial obligations resulting from changes in the prices of their open contracts before those financial obligations become exceptionally large and jeopardize the ability of the ICE Clearing Houses to ensure financial performance of clearing members’ open positions.

Each of the ICE Clearing Houses requires that each clearing member make deposits into a fund known as a guaranty fund (“Guaranty Fund”), which is maintained by the relevant ICE Clearing House. These amounts serve to secure the obligations of a clearing member to the ICE Clearing House to which it has made the Guaranty Fund deposit and may be used to cover losses sustained by the respective ICE Clearing House in the event of a default of a clearing member.

Each of the ICE Clearing Houses has equal and offsetting claims to and from their respective clearing members on opposite sides of each cleared contract. This arrangement allows the ICE Clearing Houses to serve as the central financial counterparty on every cleared contract. Each ICE Clearing House bears financial counterparty credit risk in the event that market movements create conditions that lead to its clearing members failing to meet their financial obligations to that ICE Clearing House. Accordingly, the ICE Clearing Houses account for this central counterparty guarantee as a performance guarantee. Given that each contract is margined and marked or settled on at least a daily basis for each clearing member, the ICE Clearing Houses’ maximum estimated exposure for this guarantee, excluding the risk management program discussed below, is $59.9 billion as of March 31, 2014, which represents the maximum estimated value by the ICE Clearing Houses of a hypothetical one day movement in pricing of the underlying unsettled contracts. This amount is based on calculations determined using proprietary risk management software that simulates gains and losses based on historical market prices, volatility and other factors present at that point in time for those particular unsettled contracts. Future actual market price volatility could result in the exposure being significantly different than the amount estimated by the ICE Clearing Houses. The net notional value of unsettled contracts was $2.7 trillion as of March 31, 2014. The Company performed calculations to determine the fair value of its counterparty performance guarantee taking into consideration factors such as daily settlement of contracts, margining requirements, other elements of the Company’s risk management program, historical evidence of default payments, and estimated probability of potential default payouts by the ICE Clearing Houses. Based on these analyses, the estimated counterparty performance guaranty liability was determined to be nominal and no liability was recorded as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The ICE Clearing Houses seek to reduce their exposure through a risk management program that includes initial and ongoing financial standards for clearing member admission and continued membership, original and variation margin requirements, and mandatory deposits to the Guaranty Fund. The amounts that the clearing members are required to maintain in the original margin and Guaranty Fund accounts are determined by standardized parameters established by the margin or risk committees, risk management departments and the boards of directors of each of the ICE Clearing Houses and may fluctuate over time. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the ICE Clearing Houses have received or have been pledged $74.5 billion and $68.2 billion, respectively, in cash and non-cash collateral in original margin, unsettled variation margin, performance collateral for delivery and Guaranty Fund deposits to cover price movements of underlying contracts. The ICE Clearing Houses also have powers of assessment that provide the ability to collect additional funds from their clearing members to cover a defaulting member’s remaining obligations up to the limits established under the respective rules of each ICE Clearing House.

Should a particular clearing member fail to deposit original margin, or to make a variation margin payment, when and as required, the relevant ICE Clearing House may liquidate or hedge the clearing member’s open positions and use the clearing member’s margin and Guaranty Fund deposits to make up the amount owed. In the event that those deposits are not sufficient to pay the amount owed in full, the ICE Clearing Houses may utilize the respective Guaranty Fund deposits of all clearing members on a pro-rata basis for that purpose. The Company has contributed $110 million, $50 million and $50 million to the ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear U.S. Guaranty Funds, respectively, as of March 31, 2014, and such amounts are at risk and could be used in the event of a clearing member default where the amount of the defaulting clearing member’s original margin and Guaranty Fund deposits are insufficient. The $210 million combined contributions as of March 31, 2014 are included in long-term restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and includes $50 million contributed to ICE Clear U.S. on January 1, 2014 (Note 4).

As of March 31, 2014, original margin and Guaranty Fund cash deposits are as follows for the ICE Clearing Houses (in millions):



	ICE Clear U.S.		ICE Clear Europe		ICE Clear Canada		ICE Clear Credit		TCC and ICE Clear Singapore		Total
Original margin	$	3,055	$	19,560	$	56	$	14,730	$	—	$	37,401
Guaranty Fund	257		2,661		11		2,492		4		5,425
Total	$	3,312	$	22,221	$	67	$	17,222	$	4	$	42,826

As of December 31, 2013, original margin and Guaranty Fund cash deposits are as follows for the ICE Clearing Houses (in millions):



	ICE Clear U.S.		ICE Clear Europe		ICE Clear Canada		ICE Clear Credit		TCC		Total
Original margin	$	1,642	$	22,007	$	61	$	13,274	$	—	$	36,984
Guaranty Fund	242		2,542		11		2,434		3		5,232
Total	$	1,884	$	24,549	$	72	$	15,708	$	3	$	42,216

The Company has recorded these cash deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as current assets with corresponding current liabilities to the clearing members of the relevant ICE Clearing House. All cash, securities and letters of credit are available only to meet the financial obligations of that clearing member to the relevant ICE Clearing House. ICE Clear U.S., ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Canada, ICE Clear Credit, TCC and ICE Clear Singapore are separate legal entities and are not subject to the liabilities of the other ICE Clearing Houses or the obligations of the members of the other ICE Clearing Houses. The amount of these cash deposits may fluctuate due to the types of margin collateral choices available to clearing members and the change in the amount of deposits required. As a result, these assets and corresponding liabilities may vary significantly over time.

The $17.2 billion of ICE Clear Credit cash deposits as of March 31, 2014 primarily represent funds invested under reverse repurchase agreements with several counterparty banks, none of which are clearing members, through a third party custodian bank. Under these arrangements, ICE Clear Credit purchases U.S. Treasury securities and other U.S. securities and the various counterparties agree to repurchase the instruments the following business day at a set price, plus interest. Of the $22.2 billion of ICE Clear Europe cash deposits as of March 31, 2014, $19.6 billion represent funds invested under reverse repurchase agreements through two third party investment and custody agents, with several different counterparty banks, some of which are also our clearing members and are large commercial financial institutions, and $2.6 billion represent funds invested directly in sovereign debt. Under these arrangements, ICE Clear Europe primarily purchases U.S. Treasury securities and certain sovereign debt obligations from the seven largest industrialized nations, and the various counterparties agree to repurchase the instruments on the set repurchase date at the set repurchase price, plus interest. The carrying value of these securities approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and repurchase agreements. The remaining cash deposits at the ICE Clearing Houses are held in demand deposit accounts at various financial institutions.

In addition to the cash deposits for original margin and the Guaranty Fund, the ICE Clearing Houses have also received other assets from clearing members, which may include government obligations, letters of credit, gold or emission allowances to mitigate its credit risk. These assets are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the risks and rewards of these assets remain with the clearing members. These assets are held in safekeeping and any interest and gain or loss accrues to the clearing member. For certain non-cash deposits, the ICE Clearing Houses may impose haircut rates to ensure adequate collateral levels to account for fluctuations in the market value of these deposits. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the assets pledged by the clearing members as original margin and Guaranty Fund deposits for each of the ICE Clearing Houses are detailed below (in millions):



	As of March 31, 2014										As of December 31, 2013

10.	Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims, like the ones described below, that arise in the ordinary course of business. Typically, the Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially and adversely affected by any developments relating to the legal proceedings and claims.

On April 18, 2014, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Southern District") by the City of Providence, Rhode Island, against more than 40 defendants, including "Exchange Defendants", "Brokerage Defendants" and “HFT [High Frequency Trading] Defendants”. New York Stock Exchange LLC and NYSE Arca, Inc., two of the Company's subsidiaries, are among the named Exchange Defendants. Plaintiff is suing on behalf of a class of “all public investors” who bought or sold stock on a U.S.-based exchange or alternative trading venue from April 18, 2009 to the present. The complaint asserts violations by all Exchange Defendants of Sections 10(b) and 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages against all defendants, jointly and severally, as well as various forms of equitable relief. On May 2, 2014, a purported class action lawsuit with similar allegations and legal claims was filed in the Southern District by American European Insurance Company against most of the same entities (including New York Stock Exchange LLC and NYSE Arca, Inc.) named as defendants in the City of Providence lawsuit. Additional information may be obtained from the complaints, which are styled, respectively, as City of Providence v. BATS Global Markets, Inc. et al., Case No. 14-cv-2811 (S.D.N.Y.), and American European Insurance Company v. BATS Global Markets, Inc. et al., Case No. 14-cv-3133 (S.D.N.Y.). The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot reasonably be predicted at this time.

Tax Audits

The Company is engaged in ongoing discussions and audits with taxing authorities on various tax matters, the resolutions of which are uncertain. Currently, there are matters that may lead to assessments involving the Company or one of its subsidiaries, some of which may not be resolved for several years. Based on currently available information, the Company believes it has adequately provided for any assessments that could result from those proceedings where it is more likely than not that the Company will be assessed. The Company continuously reviews its positions as these matters progress.


11.	Pension and Other Benefit Programs

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of NYSE Euronext on November 13, 2013 (Note 3), the Company assumed NYSE Euronext’s pension plans covering its U.S. and certain European operations, as well as other benefit plans. The following table provides the components of net periodic expense (benefit) associated with the pension plans, the supplemental executive retirement ("SERP") plans and the post-retirement benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 in the accompanying consolidated statement of income (in millions):



	Pension Plans			SERP Plans		Post-retirement Benefit Plans
Service costs	$	1		$	—	$	—
Interest costs	9			1		2
Estimated return on plan assets	(12		)	—		—
Net periodic expense (benefit)	$	(2	)	$	1	$	2

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company contributed $4 million to its pensions plans. Based on current actuarial assumptions, the Company anticipates funding an additional $47 million to its pension plans during 2014.


12.	Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments, short-term and long-term investments, customer accounts receivable, margin deposits and guaranty funds, cost and equity method investments, short-term and long-term debt and other short-term assets and liabilities. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are measured based on a three-level hierarchy:

Level 1 inputs — quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs — observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly observable.

Level 3 inputs — unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In general, the Company uses Level 1 inputs to determine fair value. The Level 1 assets consist of U.S. Treasury securities, equity and other securities listed in active markets, and investments in publicly traded mutual funds held for the purpose of providing future payments of the supplemental executive retirement plan and supplemental executive savings plan. The fair value of each of these assets are based on quoted prices. If quoted prices are not available to determine fair value, the Company uses other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets consist of foreign exchange derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments. Such values are based on published currency rates. As of March 31, 2014, the fair values of the Company’s $1.39 billion Senior Notes and $2.19 billion NYSE Euronext Notes are $1.44 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. The fair values of these fixed rate notes were estimated using quoted market prices for these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s other short-term and long-term debt approximates the carrying value since the rates of interest on the debt approximate market rates as of March 31, 2014. All other financial instruments are determined to approximate carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 are as follows (in millions):



	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Assets at fair value:
Long-term investment in equity securities	$	384	$	—	$	384
U.S. Treasury securities	75		—		75
Mutual Funds	28		—		28
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	—		1		1
Total assets at fair value	$	487	$	1	$	488

Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013 are as follows (in millions):



	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Assets at fair value:
Long-term investment in equity securities	$	324	$	—	$	324
U.S. Treasury securities	100		—		100
Mutual Funds	33		—		33
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	—		4		4
Total assets at fair value	$	457	$	4	$	461

The long-term investment in equity securities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 represents the Company's 12% investment in Cetip, S.A., recorded at its fair value using its quoted market price. The mutual funds represent equity and fixed income mutual funds held for the purpose of providing future payments to the supplemental executive retirement plan and supplemental executive savings plan. As of March 31, 2014, the Company is holding $75 million in U.S. Treasury securities, all of which had maturities of less than one year from the date of purchase. The Company accounts for these U.S. Treasury securities using the available-for-sale method. Of these U.S. Treasury securities, $26 million are recorded as short-term investments and $49 million are recorded as short-term restricted cash and investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.

The Company did not use Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company measures certain assets, such as intangible assets and cost and equity method investments, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value if they are deemed to be impaired. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, none of these assets were required to be recorded at fair value since no impairment indicators were present. Cost and equity method investments were $177 million as of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.


13.	Discontinued Operations

Following the Company’s acquisition of NYSE Euronext in November 2013, the Company evaluated the long-term strategy and financial performance of NYSE Euronext’s commercial technology business, NYSE Technologies, which provides comprehensive transaction, data and infrastructure services and managed solutions for buy-side, sell-side and exchange communities. NYSE Technologies operates five business lines: Global Market Data, Global Connectivity, Exchange Solutions, Trading Solutions and Transaction Services. The Company is integrating Global Market Data and Global Connectivity into its operations where they will be

integrated with the exchange businesses and technology infrastructure. Exchange Solutions was transferred to Euronext as part of the planned initial public offering of Euronext, currently expected to occur in the second quarter of 2014, subject to certain regulatory approvals and other conditions.

In January 2014, the Company formalized its plans to divest NYSE Technologies' two remaining business lines, Trading Solutions and Transaction Services, or “the NYSE Technologies divestiture group”. The Company is actively marketing the sale of these businesses, the NYSE Technologies divestiture group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, and the divestiture is expected to be completed this summer. The NYSE Technologies divestiture group primarily consists of the NYFIX, Wombat and Metabit technologies. NYFIX is a provider of FIX-based electronic trading technologies and includes the FIX Marketplace and Appia Business Suite. Wombat is a market data distribution platform, developing technology and supporting services for direct access to real-time global market data. Metabit is a Tokyo-based technology service offering proprietary market access products across Asia.

The Company has reflected the results of the NYSE Technologies divestiture group as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014. No comparable data for the prior year period is presented as the Company did not complete the acquisition of NYSE Euronext until November 2013. The results below include external advisory costs related to the planned sale of the divestiture group of $5 million. None of the Company’s interest expense has been allocated to the results of the NYSE Technologies divestiture group. The NYSE Technologies divestiture group is included in the ICE segment. Results of discontinued operations were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to the NYSE Technologies divestiture group (in millions):



Total revenues, less transaction-based expenses	$	27
Total operating expenses and other expense, net	26
Income before income tax expense	1
Income tax benefit	1
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	2

The following table presents the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the NYSE Technologies divestiture group, which was reflected as $300 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $75 million in other current liabilities, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 (in millions):

14.	Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

In connection with the Company's acquisition of NYSE Euronext in November 2013, ICE Group, IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. and NYSE Euronext established various guarantees to protect against structural subordination of each entities’ existing indebtedness. Each of IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. and NYSE Euronext are wholly owned subsidiaries of ICE Group, and each fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest of ICE Group’s Senior Notes and, following its establishment, the Commercial Paper Program. Similarly, ICE Group and IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. each fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest of the NYSE Euronext Notes. Finally, ICE Group and NYSE Euronext each fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest of the 2011 Credit Facilities and the 364 Day Facility. All of the guarantees are joint and several with all other guarantees and

indebtedness. ICE Group’s guarantees, as a standalone entity, will remain in place until each applicable debt obligation has been satisfied.

As discussed in Note 6, the Company entered into the 2014 Credit Facility and terminated the 2011 Credit Facilities and the 364 Day Facility on April 3, 2014. Upon the termination of the 2011 Credit Facilities and the 364 Day Facility, IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.'s guarantees were no longer required and therefore IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.'s guarantees were automatically released in accordance with their terms on April 3, 2014. In connection with the Company's entry into the 2014 Credit Facility, NYSE Euronext agreed to guarantee the 2014 Credit Facility as a subsidiary guarantor.

For as long as NYSE Euronext remains a guarantor of the 2014 Credit Facility, it will remain a guarantor of the Senior Notes and the Commercial Paper Program. The Company expects that NYSE Euronext’s guarantee of the 2014 Credit Facility, the Senior Notes and the Commercial Paper Program will be released when the NYSE Euronext Notes have been repaid, as the 2014 Credit Facility provides that NYSE Euronext’s guarantee will be released in accordance with their terms if certain conditions are satisfied, including compliance with the covenant limiting the amount of indebtedness of non-obligor subsidiaries and an investment-grade credit rating.

The following consolidating financial information sets forth, under the equity method of accounting, the condensed consolidating statements of income and comprehensive income, the condensed consolidating balance sheets, and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for (i) ICE Group; (ii) IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.; (iii) NYSE Euronext; (iv) the subsidiary non-guarantors; (v) elimination entries necessary to consolidate each of ICE Group, IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. and NYSE Euronext with the non-guarantor subsidiaries; and (vi) the Company on a consolidated basis.

15.	Segment Reporting

The Company previously operated as a single reportable business segment as of December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the Company is reporting two business segments, the ICE segment and the Euronext segment, which is reflective of how the Company's chief operating decision maker reviews and operates the business. The Euronext segment comprises the European-based exchanges that includes Euronext N.V. - the London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon exchanges that include listings, cash and derivatives markets, market data and technology services. The businesses and operations reflected in these results are expected to be sold as part of the initial public offering of Euronext in the second quarter of 2014, subject to certain regulatory approvals and other conditions. All the remaining operations of the Company comprise the ICE segment. One business segment was reported for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as NYSE Euronext was acquired on November 13, 2013. The Company’s chief operating decision maker does not review total assets or intersegment revenues by segment, therefore, such information is not presented below. Financial data for the Company’s business segments are as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in millions):



	ICE Segment		Euronext Segment		Total
Total revenues, less transaction-based expenses	$	796	$	136	$	932
Total operating expenses	442		81		523
Operating income	354		55		409
Net income	239		36		275

No customers or clearing members accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s segment revenues or consolidated revenues, less transaction-based expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013.


16.	Earnings Per Common Share

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions, except per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Income from continuing operations	$	273		$	137
Net income from continuing operations attributable to non-controlling interest	(13		)	(2		)
Net income from continuing operations attributable to ICE Group	260			135
Net income from discontinued operations attributable to ICE Group	2			—
Net income attributable to ICE Group	$	262		$	135

Basic earnings per share attributable to ICE Group common shareholders:
Continuing operations	$	2.27		$	1.86
Discontinued operations	0.01			—
Basic earnings per share	$	2.28		$	1.86
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	115			73

Diluted earnings per share attributable to ICE Group common shareholders:
Continuing operations	$	2.26		$	1.85
Discontinued operations	0.01			—
Diluted earnings per share	$	2.27		$	1.85
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	116			73

Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	115			73
Effect of dilutive securities - stock options and restricted stock	1			—
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	116			73

Basic earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased from the prior period primarily due to the 42.4 million shares of the Company's common stock issued to NYSE Euronext stockholders in connection with the acquisition as of November 13, 2013. Common equivalent shares from stock options and restricted stock awards, using the treasury stock method, are also included in the diluted per share calculations unless the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 116,000 and 196,000 outstanding stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share, because to do so would have had an antidilutive effect because the outstanding stock option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the relevant period.


17.	Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and determined that no events or transactions met the definition of a subsequent event for purposes of recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements except those events disclosed in Notes 6 and 14.


ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the sections entitled “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”, “Legal Proceedings” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on our present beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us.

Due to rounding, figures may not sum exactly.

Overview

We are a leading global network of regulated exchanges and clearing houses for financial and commodity markets. Through our subsidiaries, we operate 17 global exchanges and six central clearing houses. We operate global marketplaces for trading and clearing a broad array of securities and derivatives contracts across major asset classes, including interest rates, equities, equity derivatives, credit derivatives, bonds, currency, and commodities. On November 13, 2013, we completed our acquisition of NYSE Euronext and their results are included in our consolidated results effective from the acquisition date.

Recent Developments

NYSE Euronext Acquisition

On November 13, 2013, we completed our acquisition of 100% of NYSE Euronext for $11.1 billion, including $2.7 billion in cash and the issuance of 42.4 million shares of our common stock. Refer to note 3 to our consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for more information on this acquisition.

Planned Initial Public Offering of Euronext

As part of the NYSE Euronext integration, we have completed the separation of the Euronext and NYSE Liffe businesses and are transitioning all of NYSE Liffe’s futures operations to ICE futures exchanges, clearing houses and trading platforms. We have

established Euronext as an independent business and plan to pursue an initial public offering, or IPO, of Euronext, which is currently expected in the second quarter of 2014, subject to certain regulatory approvals and other conditions. We expect to use the net proceeds of the planned IPO of Euronext to pay down certain of our outstanding debt.

After the separation of the NYSE Liffe business, Euronext is established with a new legal and operating structure, and operates cash markets with the relevant listings, index, commodity, derivatives, data and technology businesses in Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Lisbon and Paris and continental European derivatives markets. Euronext has agreed to clearing terms with LCH.Clearnet under which Euronext will have certain governance rights and participate in certain of the clearing revenues for derivatives contracts under a new revenue sharing agreement, which began in April 2014.

Euronext's business also include Interbolsa, the Portuguese central securities depository, Securities Settlement System and Numbering Agency. Euronext owns or has fully paid license rights to all relevant intellectual property, technology, market data and index licenses required to operate and develop its markets and service markets of its partners and expects to continue to develop the Universal Trading Platform and surrounding systems. Euronext's business also include certain commercial technology and exchange solutions that were formerly part of NYSE Technologies, which will allow it to provide licensing of its trading platform and technology development services to exchanges outside of the Euronext group.

Subject to the size of our shareholding stake retained in Euronext following its planned IPO, we may continue to have regulatory obligations and undertakings until our ownership level decreases to a point at which we will not be deemed to control Euronext. As part of the IPO, we may be required to maintain an ongoing ownership stake in Euronext for a period of time unless long-term shareholders are identified and approved by the Euronext College of Regulators.

NYSE Technologies Planned Divestiture

NYSE Euronext operates a commercial technology business, NYSE Technologies, which provides comprehensive transaction, data and infrastructure services and managed solutions for buy-side, sell-side and exchange communities. NYSE Technologies operates five business lines: Global Market Data, Global Connectivity, Exchange Solutions, Trading Solutions and Transaction Services. We are integrating Global Market Data and Global Connectivity into our operations where they will be integrated with the exchange businesses and technology infrastructure. Global Market Data offers a broad array of global market information products covering multiple asset classes while Global Connectivity offers a financial transaction network called Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure, or SFTI, which connects firms and exchanges worldwide. Exchange Solutions, which provides multi-asset exchange platform services, managed services and expert consultancy, is being transferred to Euronext.

We expect to divest NYSE Technologies' two remaining business lines, Trading Solutions and Transaction Services, this summer. The divestiture could include the sale of the business lines as a whole or in parts. We expect to use the net proceeds of the planned NYSE Technologies divestiture to pay down certain of our outstanding debt. Trading Solutions and Transaction Services primarily consist of the NYFIX, Wombat and Metabit technologies. NYFIX is a leading provider of FIX-based electronic trading technologies and includes the FIX Marketplace and Appia Business Suite. Wombat is a leading market data distribution platform, developing technology and supporting services for direct access to real-time global market data. Metabit is a Tokyo-based technology service offering proprietary market access products across Asia. Refer to note 13 to our consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for more information on the divestiture and the presentation of the results as discontinued operations.

SMX Acquisition

On February 3, 2014, we acquired 100% of Singapore Mercantile Exchange Pte. Ltd., or SMX. The acquisition includes Singapore Mercantile Exchange Clearing Corporation Pte. Ltd., or SMXCC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SMX, and the clearing house for all SMX trades. SMX operates futures markets in Singapore across metals, currencies, energy and agricultural commodities and SMXCC clears the contracts executed on SMX. SMX and SMXCC retain licenses to operate as an approved exchange and an approved clearing house, regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. These licenses provide us with exchange and clearing licenses in Asia. The exchange and clearing infrastructures are expected to transition to the ICE trading and clearing platforms in the second half of 2014. As a result, a period of business transition is currently underway and the exchange and clearing house have been temporarily shut down and are expected to re-launch by year end. On April 22, 2014, SMX and SMXCC were renamed ICE Futures Singapore and ICE Clear Singapore, respectively. Refer to note 3 to our consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for more information on this acquisition.

Regulation Update

We are primarily subject to the jurisdiction of regulatory agencies in the United States, Europe, Singapore and Canada. In 2009, during the Pittsburgh summit, the G20 nations came to a mutual agreement on global financial market reform. Since that agreement, various domestic and foreign governments have undertaken reviews of the existing legal framework governing financial markets and

have either passed new laws and regulations, or are in the process of debating and/or enacting new laws and regulations that apply to our business and to our customers' business.

The European Union has adopted new legislation on over-the counter, or OTC, and exchange-traded derivatives, clearing houses and trade repositories commonly known as the European Market Infrastructure Regulation, or EMIR. EMIR requires, among other things, all derivatives trades to be reported to trade repositories, clearing of standardized OTC derivative contracts and more stringent prudential, operational and business requirements for clearing houses. The final form of the legislation was enacted in August 2012 and secondary legislation to enact the legislation became effective on March 15, 2013. Under EMIR, clearing houses that are currently providing clearing services in the European Union need to have applied for authorization or recognition by their home state regulator in consultation with other European Union regulatory bodies, including the European Securities and Markets Authority, or ESMA, six months following the implementation of the relevant regulatory technical standards, or by September 15, 2013. ICE Clear Europe submitted its application to its home state regulator (the Bank of England) in advance of this deadline. On September 1, 2013, ESMA made its recommendation to the European Commission as to whether the United States and other countries' financial regulatory systems would be deemed equivalent to the European financial regulatory system. In its recommendation, ESMA stated that in regard to clearing house regulation, the U.S.’s regulatory system is not equivalent to the European financial regulatory system. However, ESMA did state that clearing houses could adopt rules and receive recognition as a foreign clearing house from ESMA. ICE Clear U.S., ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear Canada have applied for recognition as foreign clearing houses with ESMA.

On April 10, 2014, the Basel Committee of the Bank of International Settlements issued final capital rules for clearing at Qualified Central Counterparties, or QCCPs. Bank exposures to QCCPs will be subject to a 20 percent minimum risk-weighting, an improvement over 1,250 percent risk-weighting that was initially established under the interim rules. ICE Clear Credit, as a systemically important financial market utility under Title VIII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, is deemed a QCCP by U.S. banking regulators. ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear U.S., and ICE Clear Canada adhere to the rules of their local regulator designed to meet the international standards set forth in the Principals for Financial Market Infrastructure, or PFMIs, and accordingly retain their status as QCCPs. ICE Clear Singapore is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Designated Clearing House, and we plan to seek QCCP status for ICE Clear Singapore.

On January 14, 2014, the European Parliament, European Council, and the European Commission reached a high level agreement on Markets in Financial Instruments Directives II, or MiFID II, which is designed to increase European regulation of trading in financial instruments. MiFID II will require derivatives that are sufficiently liquid to be traded on a multilateral trading facility or an organized trading facility. The legislation also institutes a position limit regime for commodity derivatives, which will be set by the national regulators pursuant to methodology set by the ESMA. The agreement also includes an access provision for non-discriminatory access to execution and clearing venues. The instruments included in this directive, along with definitions, timing and implementation, are expected to be established at the rule making stage with ESMA during 2014. In addition, the legislation requires non-discriminatory access to benchmarks (a benchmark is an index or other measure used to determine the value of a financial instrument, for example, LIBOR or the S&P 500) used in Europe. The scope of the requirement will be determined by ESMA. The final text of the legislation is not expected to be published until June 2014. After publication, the second level of text implementing the legislation will be drafted over the next year. The open access provision of the legislation is expected to take effect between 2017 and 2019 based on current implementation timelines that have been provided.

In November 2013, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, proposed new rules placing position limits on 28 energy, metals and agricultural contracts. ICE Futures U.S. has spot month position limits for its energy and agricultural products and for certain agricultural and financial contracts, all month limits. If finalized, the new rules will place federal all month and spot month limits on these 28 contracts, and the limits will be aggregated across exchanges and the OTC swaps markets. Key contracts included in the rule will be the Henry Hub natural gas contract and the ICE WTI crude oil contract. Financially settled contracts will maintain a position limit five times the limit for physically settled futures contracts.

On March 14, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, proposed new rules to enhance the oversight of clearing agencies that are deemed to be systemically important and have the SEC as its designated primary regulator or that are involved in complex transactions, such as security-based swaps. The proposed rules would apply to ICE Clear Europe and are largely the same standards that clearing houses meet to be QCCPs.

The SEC is reviewing the structure of equity markets. The SEC will continue on its path of developing data driven research and testing certain hypothesis through the use of pilots, most of which we believe favor regulated exchanges.

For additional information regarding the regulations affecting our business, see Item 1 “Business - Regulation” and Item 1(A) “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, or our 2013 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 14, 2014.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to ICE Group common shareholders	$	2.60		$	2.03		28	%
Cash flows from operating activities	$	519		$	150		246	%


•	Total revenues, less transaction-based expenses, increased $580 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to $570 million in revenues, less transaction-based expenses, recognized relating to NYSE Euronext for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (subsequent to its acquisition on November 13, 2013).

•

Total operating expenses increased $371 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to $318 million in expenses recognized relating to NYSE Euronext for three months ended March 31, 2014 (excluding the acquisition-related transaction and integration costs). Acquisition-related transaction and integration costs increased $43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, to $61 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily related to our integration of NYSE Euronext. See “- Operating Expenses” below.


•	Other expense, net increased $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in our interest expense resulting from an increase in our total debt outstanding. See “- Non-Operating Income (Expenses)” below.


•	Adjusted net income attributable to ICE Group and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to ICE Group common shareholders are calculated by excluding items that are not reflective of our core business performance, net of taxes. See “-Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Variability in Quarterly Comparisons

The business environments in which we operate directly affect our results of operations. Our results have been and will continue to be affected by many factors, including the level of trading activity in our markets, which during any period is significantly influenced by general market conditions; competition; price volatility; market share and the pace of industry consolidation; broad trends in the brokerage and finance industry; price levels and price volatility; the number and financial health of companies listed on our cash markets; geopolitical events; weather and disasters; real and perceived supply and demand imbalances; availability of capital; changing technology in the financial services industry; and, legislative and regulatory changes among other factors. In particular, in recent years, the business environment has been characterized by increasing competition among global markets for trading volumes and listings; the globalization of exchanges, customers and competitors; market participants’ demand for speed, capacity and reliability, which requires continuing investment in technology; and, increasing competition for market data revenues. Price volatility increases the need to hedge risk and creates demand between market participants for the exchange of risk. Market liquidity is one of the primary market attributes for attracting and maintaining customers and is an important indicator of a market’s strength. The maintenance and growth of our revenues could also be impacted if we face increased pressure on pricing. Changes in these and other factors could cause our revenues to fluctuate from period to period and these fluctuations may affect the reliability of period to period comparisons of our revenues and operating results.

Segment Reporting

We reported as a single business segment as of December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, we are reporting two business segments, the ICE segment and the Euronext segment, which is reflective of how our chief operating decision maker reviews and operates our business. The Euronext segment comprises the European-based exchanges that includes Euronext N.V. - the London,

Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon exchanges that include listings, cash and derivatives markets, market data and technology services. All of our remaining operations comprise the ICE segment. One business segment was reported for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the ICE segment, as NYSE Euronext was acquired on November 13, 2013.

ICE Segment Transaction and Clearing Fees, net

Our transaction and clearing fees are reported on a net basis and consist of fees collected from our derivatives trading and clearing and, subsequent to our acquisition of NYSE Euronext on November 13, 2013, from our U.S. cash trading and U.S. equity options businesses. In our derivatives markets, we earn transaction and clearing fees from both counterparties to each contract that is

traded and/or cleared. Revenues for per-contract fees are driven by the number of trades executed and fees charged per contract. The amount of our per-contract transaction and clearing fees will depend upon many factors, including, but not limited to, transaction and clearing volume, pricing and new product introductions. The level of trading and clearing activity for all products is also influenced by market conditions.

Following our acquisition of NYSE Euronext, we also recognize transaction and clearing fee revenues from executing trades of derivatives contracts and clearing charges on NYSE Liffe in London and NYSE Liffe U.S. The principal types of derivative contracts traded and cleared in these markets are interest rate, equity and index products. Trading volume in short-term interest rate products is primarily driven by volatility resulting from economic data and changes in expectations for the level of short-term interest rates, and trading in equity and index products is primarily driven by volatility and other economic factors impacting the equity markets.

We now recognize transaction fee revenues from U.S. cash trading. Cash trading consists of transaction charges for executing trades in our cash equities markets, executing options contracts traded on NYSE Arca and NYSE Amex Options, as well as transaction charges related to orders in these markets which are routed to other market centers for execution. Additionally, our U.S. cash markets pay fees to the SEC pursuant to Section 31 of the Exchange Act of 1934. These fees are designed to recover the costs to the government of supervision and regulation of securities markets and securities professionals. Activity assessment fees are collected from member organizations executing trades on our U.S. cash markets, and are recognized when these amounts are invoiced. Fees received are included in cash at the time of receipt and, as required by law, the amount due to the SEC is remitted semi-annually and recorded as an accrued liability until paid. The activity assessment fees are designed so that they are equal to the Section 31 fees. As a result, activity assessment fees and Section 31 fees do not have an impact on our net income. These fees are reported as transaction-based expenses.

Natural gas futures and options volume declined 12% while corresponding revenues increased 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013. The increase in revenue was driven by 57% growth in U.K. natural gas volume, which was offset by a 14% decline in North American natural gas volume.

In our derivatives markets, our benchmark Brent crude futures contract is relied upon by a broad range of market participants, including oil producing nations and multinational companies, to price and hedge their crude oil production and consumption. Brent futures and options volumes and revenue declined 8% and 15%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013. Based on traded volume in both our Brent crude futures contract and our WTI crude futures contract, we had 54% and 57% market share of the global oil futures contracts trading for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Power futures and options volumes increased 58% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, while corresponding revenues increased 6%. The power futures and options revenues increase was lower than the volume increase primarily due to the growth in trading of smaller sized North American power contracts, which have a lower rate per contract than the full sized contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, 98% of North American power contracts cleared were smaller sized contracts compared to 96% during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

CDS trade execution revenues at Creditex and ICE Swap Trade were $17 million and $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The notional value of the underlying CDS traded was $256 billion for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

CDS clearing revenues at ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear Europe were $26 million and $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear Europe cleared $3.4 trillion and $2.4 trillion, respectively, of CDS notional value. With the advent of mandatory clearing during 2013, CDS clearing activity by investment funds, asset managers, and other buy side market participants has increased significantly.

Our transaction and clearing fees are presented net of rebates. We recorded rebates of $207 million and $98 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We offer rebates in certain of our markets, including NYSE Liffe derivatives markets following the NYSE Euronext acquisition, primarily to support market liquidity and trading volume by providing qualified participants in those markets a discount to the applicable rate. Such rebates are calculated based on volumes traded. The increase in the rebates is due primarily to the rebates relating to the addition of NYSE Liffe derivatives markets, an increase in the number of participants in the rebate programs offered on various contracts and an increase in the number of rebate programs offered during the first quarter of 2014.

ICE Segment Market Data Fees

We generate revenues from the dissemination of our market data to a variety of users. In our derivatives markets, market data fees primarily relate to subscription fee revenues charged for user and license access from data vendors and from the end users, view only market data access, direct access services, terminal access, daily indexes and end of day reports.

Following our acquisition of NYSE Euronext, we now charge the end user directly for real-time and historical futures prices and other futures market data in certain of our markets, including our interest rates markets. In addition, we now earn market data fees relating to our cash trading market data services. In the United States, we collect cash trading market data fees principally for consortium-based data products and, to a lesser extent, for NYSE proprietary data products. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized market data fee revenues from NYSE Euronext derivative market data services and U.S. cash trading market data services of $62 million in the ICE segment.

ICE Segment Listing Fees

Following the NYSE Euronext acquisition, we recognize listing fee revenues in our cash equity markets from two types of fees applicable to companies listed on our U.S. securities exchanges - listing fees and annual fees.

Original listing fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over estimated service periods of nine years for the NYSE equity market and five years for NYSE Arca and NYSE MKT. Other corporate action listing fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over estimated service periods of six years for the NYSE cash equity market and three years for NYSE Arca and NYSE MKT. Unamortized balances are recorded as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheet. The unamortized deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2014 for the listing fees was $22 million relating to listing fees incurred and billed and not yet recognized as revenue subsequent to the November 13, 2013 acquisition through March 31, 2014.

In the United States, annual fees are charged based on the number of outstanding shares of listed U.S. companies at the end of the prior year. Non-U.S. companies pay fees based on the number of listed securities issued or held in the United States. Annual fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis over the calendar year. The unamortized deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2014 for the annual fees was $243 million, which will be recognized as revenue over the remaining months of 2014.

ICE Segment Other Revenues

Prior to our acquisition of NYSE Euronext, other revenues were made up of various fees and services provided to our customers, including connectivity fees, ICE Chat and WhenTech subscription fees, ICE Endex membership fees, agricultural grading and certification fees, regulatory penalties and fines, interest income on certain clearing margin deposits and NYSE Liffe clearing services fees (prior to the NYSE Euronext acquisition). Following our acquisition, other revenues also include technology services revenues, fees for trading licenses, facilities, regulation, listed company services, designated market marker services, and for non-transaction related clearance and settlement activities in our European markets. We recognized $100 million in other revenues from NYSE Euronext for the three months ended March 31, 2014 relating to the ICE segment.

ICE Segment Transaction-Based Expenses

Following our acquisition of NYSE Euronext, we pay the SEC fees pursuant to Section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for transactions executed on U.S. security exchanges. We, in turn, collect activity assessment fees, which are included in transaction and clearing fees in the consolidated statements of income and in transaction-based expenses, from member organizations clearing or settling trades on the U.S. securities exchanges and recognize these amounts when invoiced.

We incur routing charges in the United States when we do not have the best bid or offer in the market for a security that a customer is trying to buy or sell on one of our U.S. securities exchanges. In that case, we route the customer’s order to the external market center that displays the best bid or offer. The external market center charges us a fee per share (denominated in tenths of a cent per share) for routing to its system. We include costs incurred due to erroneous trade execution within routing as transaction-based expenses. Furthermore, NYSE Arca incurs clearance, brokerage and related transaction expenses and per trade service fees paid to exchanges for trade execution.

ICE Segment Operating Expenses

ICE segment operating expenses increased $290 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to $280 million in expenses recognized relating to NYSE Euronext for three months ended March 31, 2014. See “- Operating Expenses” below.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were 39 million European equity derivatives futures and options contracts traded. As of March 31, 2014, the open interest for the European equity derivatives futures and options contracts was 15 million contacts, compared to 13 million contracts as of December 31, 2013. The following table presents selected Euronext cash trading and derivative operating data for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (all European cash trading activity is double counted to include both buys and sells):



Euronext Cash Products and Derivatives:
Euronext cash products trades (in millions)	100
Euronext cash products revenue capture	$0.59
Euronext derivatives contracts traded (in millions)	39
Euronext derivatives contracts rate per contract	$0.45

Euronext cash products include equities, ETFs, structured products and bonds. Euronext derivatives include equity index products, single stock equities, and futures and options based on currencies, wheat-milling, rapeseed, corn and barley malting products.

Following our acquisition of NYSE Euronext, we earn market data fees relating to our cash trading market data services. For Euronext, we charge for the use of Euronext’s cash trading real-time market data services. We also collect annual license fees from vendors for the right to distribute Euronext market data to third parties and a service fee from vendors for direct connection to market data. We also derive revenues from selling historical and reference data about securities, and by publishing the daily official lists for the Euronext markets. The principal drivers of market data revenues are the number of end-users and the prices for data packages.

Following the NYSE Euronext acquisition, we recognize listing fee revenues in our Euronext cash equity markets. Original listing fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over estimated service periods of nine years for the Euronext cash equities markets. Other corporate action listing fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over estimated service periods of six years for the Euronext cash equities markets. Unamortized balances are recorded as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance

sheet. The unamortized deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2014 for the Euronext listing fees was $10 million relating to listing fees incurred and billed and not yet recognized as revenue subsequent to the November 13, 2013 acquisition through March 31, 2014.

Operating Expenses

The following table presents our consolidated operating expenses (dollars in millions):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		Change
Compensation and benefits	$	199	$	66	200	%
Technology and communication	48		11		346

Selling, general and administrative	32		9		250
Depreciation and amortization	88		32		175
Total operating expenses	$	523	$	152	244	%

Compensation and benefits expenses

Compensation and benefits expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to increases in our employee headcount. Our employee headcount increased primarily relating to the NYSE Euronext acquisition. Headcount increased from 1,105 employees as of March 31, 2013 to 4,048 employees as of March 31, 2014 and, excluding the NYSE Euronext employees, increased to 1,167 employees as of March 31, 2014, an increase of 6% compared to the prior year period. As of March 31, 2014, we had 2,881 employees relating to our NYSE Euronext acquisition, a decrease of 8% compared to the 3,099 NYSE Euronext employees as of December 31, 2013. We recognized $128 million in compensation and benefits expenses relating to NYSE Euronext during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

In addition to the headcount increase relating to the NYSE Euronext employees, additional headcount increases were primarily due to other acquisitions and internal hiring for clearing, technology, compliance operations and relating to various hires in Atlanta as a result of the NYSE Euronext integration. Non-cash compensation expenses recognized in our consolidated financial statements for employee stock options and restricted stock were $17 million and $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, with the increase primarily relating to a greater number of employees receiving non-cash awards due to the headcount increases. We recorded $30 million in NYSE Euronext employee termination costs that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014, which are included in the acquisition-related transaction and integration costs discussed below.

Technology and Communication Expenses

Technology and communication expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to costs incurred at NYSE Euronext following our acquisition. We recognized $35 million in technology and communication expenses relating to NYSE Euronext during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Professional Services Expenses

Professional services expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to costs incurred at NYSE Euronext following our acquisition. We recognized $55 million in professional services expenses relating to NYSE Euronext during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Rent and Occupancy Expenses

Rent and occupancy expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to costs incurred at NYSE Euronext following our acquisition, partially offset by $4 million in duplicate rent expenses and lease termination costs relating to the consolidation of multiple New York office locations that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We recognized $25 million in rent and occupancy expenses relating to NYSE Euronext during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Acquisition-Related Transaction and Integration Costs

We incurred $61 million in acquisition-related transaction and integration costs during the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily relating to our acquisitions of NYSE Euronext and SMX and the integration of NYSE Euronext. Of this amount, $48 million related to NYSE Euronext integration costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily for employee termination costs, costs incurred relating to the potential Euronext IPO and professional services costs incurred relating to the integration. We incurred acquisition-related transaction costs during the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily relating to our pending acquisition of NYSE Euronext and the acquisition of ICE Endex.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to costs incurred at NYSE Euronext following our acquisition. We recognized $22 million in selling, general and administrative expenses relating to NYSE Euronext during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

We recorded amortization expenses on the intangible assets acquired as part of our acquisitions, as well as on the Russell licensing agreement intangible assets, of $42 million and $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to additional amortization expenses recorded on the intangible assets associated with our acquisition of NYSE Euronext. We recognized $26 million in amortization expenses on the NYSE Euronext intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

We recorded depreciation expenses on our fixed assets of $46 million and $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We recognized $27 million in depreciation expenses relating to the NYSE Euronext fixed assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Depreciation expenses also increased primarily due to additional depreciation expenses recorded on increased fixed asset additions and capitalized internally developed software. See “- Cash Flow - Investing Activities” below.

Non-Operating Income (Expenses)

The following tables present our consolidated non-operating income (expenses) (dollars in millions):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013			Change
Other income (expense):
Interest expense	(27		)	(10		)	178
Other income (expense), net	(2		)	1			n/a
Total other expense, net	$	(29	)	$	(9	)	224	%
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest	$	(13	)	$	(2	)	622	%

The increase in interest expense is primarily due to an increase in the overall amount of debt outstanding during the last year. See “- Debt” below. We incurred foreign currency transaction losses of $4 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Foreign currency gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense) and relate to the settlement of foreign currency assets, liabilities and payables that occur through our foreign operations that are received in non-functional currencies due to the increase or decrease in the period-end foreign currency exchange rates between periods. We recognized dividend income received relating to our Cetip investment in other income (expense), which was $1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

For consolidated subsidiaries in which our ownership is less than 100%, and for which we have control over the assets, liabilities and management of the entity, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as non-controlling interests. The increase in the net income attributable to non-controlling interest during the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, is primarily due to the increase in the CDS clearing revenues during the current year period relating to the minority interest in our CDS clearing subsidiaries and net income during the three months ended March 31, 2014 relating to the AMEX Options minority ownership interest we acquired following our acquisition of NYSE Euronext in November 2013.

Income Tax Provision

Consolidated income tax expense from continuing operations was $107 million and $54 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The change in consolidated income tax expense between periods is primarily due to the change in our pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 28% for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to favorable foreign tax rate differentials, partially offset by state income taxes. Favorable foreign income tax rate differentials result primarily from lower tax rates in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and various other lower tax jurisdictions.

Quarterly Results of Operations

We believe the following quarterly unaudited consolidated statements of income data has been prepared on substantially the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements and includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations for the quarters presented. The historical results for any quarter do not necessarily indicate the results expected for any future period. The following table sets forth quarterly consolidated statements of income data (in millions):

(1)	We acquired NYSE Euronext on November 13, 2013 and have included their financial results in our results of operations for all periods subsequent to the acquisition date.


(2)	Other expense, net for the three months ended December 31, 2013 includes a $190 million impairment loss on our Cetip investment and a $51 million expense relating to the early payoff of outstanding debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have financed our operations, growth and cash needs primarily through income from operations and borrowings under our various debt facilities. Our principal capital requirements have been to fund capital expenditures, working

capital, strategic acquisitions and investments, stock repurchases and the continued development of our electronic trading and clearing platforms. We believe that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to repay our outstanding debt as it matures. In the future, we may need to incur additional debt or issue additional equity securities. See “- Debt” and “- Future Capital Requirements” below. We also expect to use the net proceeds of the planned IPO of Euronext and the planned NYSE Technology divestiture to pay down certain of our outstanding debt. See “- Recent Developments” above.

Upon maturity of old issuances of commercial paper and to the extent old issuances are not repaid by cash on hand, we are exposed to the rollover risk of not being able to issue new commercial paper. In order to mitigate the rollover risk, we maintain an undrawn backstop bank revolving credit facility for an aggregate amount equaling at any time the amount issued under our commercial paper program. In case we would not be able to issue new commercial paper, we could draw on the backstop revolving facility, which would result in higher interest expense. See “- Debt” below.

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $964 million and $961 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We had $441 million and $398 million in short-term and long-term investments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and $501 million and $438 million in short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

As of March 31, 2014, the amount of unrestricted cash held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries was $543 million. While we consider our non-U.S. earnings to be indefinitely reinvested overseas, if these cash balances are needed for our operations in the United States, any repatriation by way of dividend may be subject to both U.S. federal and state income taxes, as adjusted for any non-U.S. tax credits. However, we do not have any current needs or foreseeable plans to repatriate cash by way of dividends from our non-U.S. subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2014, $450 million remains available for stock repurchases under our stock repurchase program. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock on the open market during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We expect to fund any remaining share repurchases with a combination of cash on hand, future cash flows and by borrowing under our credit facilities. The timing and extent of any future repurchases is at the discretion of our management and will depend upon market conditions, our stock price and our strategic plans at that time. We may discontinue our stock repurchases at any time.

Cash Flow

The following tables present the major components of net increases in cash and cash equivalents (in millions):



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities from continuing operations	$	519		$	150
Investing activities from continuing operations	(249		)	(116		)

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	3		$	(221	)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization and the effects of changes in working capital. Fluctuations in net cash provided by operating activities are primarily attributable to increases and decreases in our net income between periods and, to a lesser extent, due to fluctuations in working capital. The $369 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the comparable period in 2013, is primarily due to the $138 million increase in our net income and due to the $306 million increase in our deferred revenue balance from the prior year period. Our net income increased primarily due to the net income relating to NYSE Euronext during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The annual listing fees were billed in January 2014 and are recognized as revenue during the fiscal year 2014. The deferred revenue increase is primarily relating to the $336 million in NYSE Euronext billings for annual listing fees, net of the amount recognized in earnings and net of the cash still to be collected from customers as of March 31, 2014. See “- ICE Segment Listing Fees" above.

Investing Activities

Consolidated net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 primarily relates to cash paid for acquisitions, increases in the restricted cash and investment balances and capital expenditures

and capitalized software development costs. We paid cash for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $142 million and $44 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 primarily relating to the SMX and ICE Endex acquisitions. We had net increases in restricted cash and investments of $60 million and $48 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The restricted cash increase in 2014 primarily related to a $50 million contribution to the ICE Clear U.S. guaranty fund as of January 1, 2014 in connection with ICE Clear U.S.’s recognition as a third party QCCP. The restricted cash increase in 2013 primarily relating to increases in the regulatory capital of ICE Futures Europe and ICE Clear Europe due to adjustments to the regulatory capital calculations to no longer allow for certain deductions in the calculations of the six months of operating expenditures. We had capital expenditures of $31 million and $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and we had capitalized software development expenditures of $20 million and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The capital expenditures primarily relate to hardware purchases to continue the development and expansion of our electronic platforms and clearing houses and leasehold improvements associated with the new office space in Atlanta and New York.

Financing Activities

Consolidated net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily relates to $161 million in repayments under our debt facilities, $76 million in dividend and dividend equivalent payments to our shareholders and $36 million in cash payments related to treasury shares received for restricted stock tax payments and stock options exercises. Consolidated net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily relates to $222 million in repayments under our debt facilities, $20 million in cash payments related to treasury shares received for restricted stock tax payments and stock options exercises and $10 million in purchases of subsidiary shares from non-controlling interests. See “- Debt” below for a discussion of the debt facilities.

Debt

Our total debt, including short-term and long-term debt, consisted of the following as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in millions):



	As of March 31, 2014		As of December 31, 2013
Debt:

2011 Credit Facilities - Term Loan Facility	—		323
Long-term debt	3,584		3,923
Total debt	$	4,881	$	5,058

2014 Credit Facility

On April 3, 2014, we, as parent borrower, and our subsidiary ICE Europe Parent Limited, as subsidiary borrower, entered into a new $3.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the 2014 Credit Facility, pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of April 3, 2014 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, issuing lender and swingline lender, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and the lenders party thereto. The 2014 Credit Facility includes an option for us to propose an increase in the aggregate amount by up to $1.0 billion, subject to the consent of the lenders funding the increase and certain other conditions. We incurred $11 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the 2014 Credit Facility, which will be amortized over the term of the agreement.

The 2014 Credit Facility matures on April 3, 2019. Amounts borrowed under the 2014 Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. The 2014 Credit Facility provides for a $3.0 billion multi-currency revolving facility, with sub-limits for non-dollar borrowings, swingline borrowings and letters of credit. No amounts have currently been drawn under the 2014 Credit Facility. As of April 3, 2014, of the $3.0 billion that was available for borrowing under the 2014 Credit Facility, $1.3 billion is required to back stop the amount outstanding at that time under the Commercial Paper Program and $303 million is reserved for our clearing

houses, as discussed below. As of April 3, 2014, the remaining $1.4 billion is available to us to use for working capital and general corporate purposes, and any portion of the revolving credit facility no longer necessary in the future to be reserved for the foregoing purposes will be available to us to use for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Borrowings under the 2014 Credit Facility will bear interest on the principal amount outstanding at either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate or (b) a “base rate” plus an applicable margin rate; provided, however, that all loans denominated in a foreign currency will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate. The “base rate” equals the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (iii) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. The applicable margin rate is based upon our public long term debt ratings and ranges from 0.875% to 1.50% on LIBOR borrowings and from 0.00% to 0.50% on base rate borrowings.

The 2014 Credit Facility includes an unutilized revolving credit commitment fee that is equal to the unused maximum revolver amount, multiplied by an applicable commitment fee rate and is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. The applicable commitment fee rate ranges from 0.080% to 0.200%. As of April 3, 2014, the applicable commitment fee rate was 0.125% based on our current long term debt ratings.

Of the amounts available under the 2014 Credit Facility: (i) $150 million of such amounts has been reserved to provide liquidity or required financial resources for the clearing operations of ICE Clear Europe, (ii) $100 million of such amounts has been reserved to provide liquidity or required financial resources for the clearing operations of ICE Clear Credit, (iii) $50 million of such amounts has been reserved to provide liquidity or required financial resources for the clearing operations of ICE Clear U.S., and (iv) $3 million of such amounts has been reserved to provide liquidity or required financial resources for the clearing operations of ICE Clear Canada. From time to time, we may agree to provide additional liquidity to our subsidiaries to meet regulatory capital requirements, general corporate purposes or short term liquidity needs.

The 2014 Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default, including a leverage ratio, as well as limitations on liens on our assets, indebtedness of non-obligor subsidiaries, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and other matters.

Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility (2011 Credit Facilities)

In November 2011, we entered into senior unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate amount of $2.6 billion, or the 2011 Credit Facilities. The 2011 Credit Facilities consisted of (i) an aggregate $500 million five-year senior unsecured term loan facility, or the Term Loan Facility, and (ii) an aggregate $2.1 billion five-year senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Facility. The 2011 Credit Facilities were scheduled to mature on November 9, 2016. As of March 31, 2014, we had $367 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, in the form of a LIBOR rate loan with a stated interest rate of 2.0275% per annum.

In connection with our entering into the 2014 Credit Facility on April 3, 2014, the 2011 Credit Facilities were terminated and the $367 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was repaid through the issuance of new commercial paper, as discussed below. The $367 million is reflected as short-term debt as of March 31, 2014. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

364 Day Facility

In July 2013, we entered into a $600 million 364 day senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the 364 Day Facility. The 364 Day Facility was available for working capital and general corporate purposes. In connection with our entering into the 2014 Credit Facility, the 364 Day Facility was terminated on April 3, 2014, at which time no amounts were outstanding.

Commercial Paper Program

In December 2013, we entered into a U.S. dollar commercial paper program, or the Commercial Paper Program. The Commercial Paper Program is currently backed by the borrowing capacity available under the 2014 Credit Facility, equal to the amount of the commercial paper that is issued and outstanding at any given point in time. The effective interest rate of commercial paper issuances does not materially differ from short term interest rates (such as USD LIBOR). The fluctuation of these rates due to market conditions may therefore impact the interest expense incurred by us.

Commercial paper notes of $930 million and original maturities ranging from 1 to 60 days were outstanding as of March 31, 2014 under the Commercial Paper Program. As of March 31, 2014, the weighted average interest rate on the $930 million outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program was 0.33% per annum, with a weighted average maturity of 35 days. We used the net proceeds from $367 million in new commercial paper issued under the Commercial Paper Program on April 1, 2014 to repay the $367 million that was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility as discussed above.

Senior Notes and NYSE Euronext Notes

In October 2013, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due October 2018, or the 2018 Senior Notes, and $800 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due October 2023, or the 2023 Senior Notes, together with the 2018 Senior Notes, the Senior Notes. In connection with the acquisition of NYSE Euronext, one of our subsidiaries assumed the outstanding NYSE Euronext debt instruments, which included $850 million of 2.0% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in October 2017, or the NYSE Euronext USD Notes, and €920 million ($1.3 billion) of 5.375% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in June 2015, or the NYSE Euronext EUR Notes, and together with the NYSE Euronext USD Notes, the NYSE Euronext Notes.

Future Capital Requirements

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of our trading and clearing volume growth, strategic plans and acquisitions, required technology and clearing initiatives, regulatory requirements, the timing and introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products, the geographic mix of our business, and the continuing market acceptance of our electronic platforms. We currently expect to make aggregate operational capital expenditures and to incur capitalized software development costs ranging between $200 million and $210 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, which we believe will support the enhancement of our technology and the continued expansion of our businesses. In addition, we currently expect $70 million to $80 million in capital expenditures during 2014 on real estate expenditures, primarily associated with our new headquarters in Atlanta and our headquarters in New York.

Our board of directors has adopted a quarterly dividend declaration policy providing that the declaration of any dividends will be determined quarterly by the board or audit committee of the board of directors taking into account such factors as our evolving business model, prevailing business conditions and our financial results and capital requirements, without a predetermined annual net income payout ratio. During the first quarter of 2014, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share of our common stock for an aggregate payout of $76 million, which includes the payment of dividend equivalents.

As of March 31, 2014, we have $4.9 billion in outstanding debt. See “- Debt” above. We currently have $3.0 billion available for borrowing under our 2014 Credit Facility. The Commercial Paper Program is backed by the borrowing capacity available under the 2014 Credit Facility, with the amount under the 2014 Credit Facility reserved equal to the amount of the commercial paper that is issued and outstanding. After factoring in the $1.3 billion currently required to back stop the Commercial Paper Program and the $303 million reserved for our clearing houses as discussed above, $1.4 billion of our 2014 Credit Facility is currently available for general corporate purposes.

The 2014 Credit Facility and the Commercial Paper Program are currently the only significant agreements or arrangements that we have with third parties for liquidity and capital resources. In the event of any strategic acquisitions, mergers or investments, or if we are required to raise capital for any reason or desire to return capital to our stockholders, we may incur additional debt, issue additional equity to raise the necessary funds, repurchase additional shares of our common stock or pay a dividend. However, we cannot provide assurance that such financing or transactions will be available or successful, or that the terms of such financing or transactions will be favorable to us. We believe that our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our debt, working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. We also expect to use the net proceeds of the planned IPO of Euronext and the planned NYSE Technology divestiture to pay down certain of our outstanding debt. See “- Recent Developments” above.

When EMIR becomes effective later in 2014, the Bank of England restricted cash capital requirements for ICE Clear Europe will be superseded by the EMIR capital requirements, which would require an estimated increase in the liquid regulatory capital requirements ranging from $140 million to $150 million. This increase will be satisfied by way of additional restricted cash through our cash on hand.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

We use non-U.S. GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations than U.S. GAAP measures alone. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparison of results because the items described below are not reflective of our core business performance. These financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, U.S. GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-U.S. GAAP measures used by other companies. We use adjusted net income attributable to ICE Group and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ICE Group common shareholders because we believe they more clearly highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our operating performance. We strongly recommend that investors

review the U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted net income attributable to ICE Group for the periods presented below are calculated by adding to them or subtracting from them the adjustments described below, which are not reflective of our core business performance, and their related income tax effect (in millions, except per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended March 31,

We include acquisition-related transaction costs as part of our core business expenses, except for those that are directly related to the announcement, closing, financing or termination of a transaction. However, we are including all of the acquisition-related transaction and integration costs relating to our acquisition of NYSE Euronext as non-U.S. GAAP adjustments given the size of the acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, in addition to the NYSE Euronext acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, we also include as adjustments the duplicate rent expenses and lease termination costs we incurred as we consolidated multiple New York office locations during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and the banker success fees

relating to the acquisition of ICE Endex during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and SMX during the three months ended March 31, 2014. For additional information on these items, see “- Operating Expenses” above.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

In the first quarter of 2014, there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments from those disclosed in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of 2014, there were no significant new and recently adopted accounting pronouncements that are applicable to us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In the first quarter of 2014, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2013 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a result of our operating and financing activities, we are exposed to market risks such as interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and credit risk. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to measure, manage, monitor and report risk exposures, which are regularly reviewed by the appropriate management and supervisory bodies.

Interest Rate Risk

We have exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relating to our cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments, and indebtedness. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments were $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, of which $935 million and $819 million, respectively, were denominated in Brazilian reais, pounds sterling, euros or Canadian dollars. Our investment in Cetip, which is recorded as an available-for-sale, long-term investment and was recorded in and is held in Brazilian reais, was valued at $384 million as of March 31, 2104, including an unrealized gain of $60 million. Changes in the fair value of the Cetip investment are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income and do not impact earnings, except to the extent that unrealized losses are deemed to be other than temporary. The remaining investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. We do not use our investment portfolio for trading or other speculative purposes. A hypothetical decrease in long-term interest rates to zero basis points would decrease annual pre-tax earnings by less than $1 million as of March 31, 2014, assuming no change in the amount or composition of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $4.9 billion in outstanding debt, of which $1.4 billion relates to the Senior Notes and $2.2 billion relates to the NYSE Euronext Notes, both of which bear interest at fixed interest rates. Of the remaining amount outstanding, $930 million relates to the Commercial Paper Program and $367 million related to the Term Loan Facility, both of which bear interest at fluctuating rates and, therefore, subjected us to interest rate risk. On April 3, 2014, the Term Loan Facility was terminated and the $367 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was repaid through the issuance of new commercial paper. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in long-term interest rates relating to the amounts currently outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program would decrease annual pre-tax earnings by $9 million, assuming no change in the volume or composition of our outstanding indebtedness and no hedging activity. The interest rates on our Commercial Paper Program are currently reset on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. See Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Debt” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As an international business, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We may experience gains or losses from foreign currency transactions in the future given that a significant part of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recorded in

euros or pounds sterling. Certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are denominated in the local functional currency of such subsidiaries.

Our exposure to foreign denominated earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is presented by primary foreign currency in the following table (in millions, except average exchange rates):



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
	Euro			Pound Sterling
Average exchange rate to the U.S. dollar in the current year period	$	1.3705		$	1.6546
Average exchange rate to the U.S. dollar in the same period one year before	$	1.3220		$	1.5535
Foreign denominated percentage of:
Revenues, less transaction-based expenses	22		%	14		%
Operating expenses	9		%	16		%
Operating income	38		%	11		%
Impact of the currency fluctuations ⁽¹⁾ on:
Revenues, less transaction-based expenses	$	7		$	8
Operating expenses	$	2		$	5
Operating income	$	6		$	3


(1)	Represents the impact of currency fluctuation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year.

NYSE Euronext, which we acquired in November 2013, has a significant part of its assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses recorded in euros or pounds sterling. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, 36% of our consolidated revenues, less transaction-based expenses, were denominated in euros or pounds sterling and 25% of our consolidated expenses were denominated in euros or pounds sterling. As the euro or pound sterling exchange rate changes, the U.S. equivalent of revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies changes accordingly.

We have foreign currency transaction risk related to the settlement of foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and payables that occur through our operations, which are received in or paid in pounds sterling or euros, due to the increase or decrease in the foreign currency exchange rates between periods. We had foreign currency transaction losses of $4 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily attributable to the fluctuations of the pound sterling and euro relative to the U.S. dollar. A 10% adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates as of March 31, 2014 would result in a foreign currency transaction loss of $5 million, assuming no change in the composition of the foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and payables and assuming no hedging activity.

We entered into foreign currency hedging transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 as economic hedges to hedge a portion of our foreign currency transaction exposure and may enter into additional hedging transactions in the future to help mitigate our foreign exchange risk exposure.

We have foreign currency translation risk equal to our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using a current rate of exchange, with gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment account, a component of equity. Our exposure to the net investment in foreign currencies is presented by primary foreign currencies in the table below (in millions):



	As of March 31, 2014
	Position in euros		Position in pounds sterling
Assets	€	3,021	£	4,215
of which goodwill represents	1,529		1,639
Liabilities	1,544		457
of which borrowings represent	1,007		—
Net currency position before hedging activities	€	1,477	£	3,758
Impact of hedging activities	26		—
Net currency position	€	1,503	£	3,758
Impact on consolidated equity of a 10% decrease in foreign currency exchange rates	$	207	$	627

To hedge against these exposures, as of March 31, 2014, we had €25 million ($35 million) of euro/U.S. dollar and £15 million ($25 million) of pound sterling/U.S. dollar foreign exchange hedging contracts outstanding. These contracts matured in April 2014 and

had no fair value as of March 31, 2014. Additionally, NYSE Euronext's borrowing in euro of €1.0 billion ($1.2 billion) constitutes a partial hedge of NYSE Euronext's net euro investment in foreign entities.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the portion of our equity attributable to accumulated other comprehensive income from foreign currency translation was $422 million and $377 million, respectively. Based on March 31, 2014 net currency positions, a hypothetical 10% decrease of euro against U.S. dollar would negatively impact our equity by $216 million and a hypothetical 10% decrease of pound sterling against U.S. dollar would negatively impact our equity by $566 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, currency exchange rate differences had a positive impact of $45 million on our consolidated equity.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk in our operations in the event of a counterparty default. We limit our exposure to credit risk by rigorously selecting the counterparties with which we make our investments and execute agreements. Credit risk is monitored by using exposure limits depending on ratings assigned by rating agencies as well as the nature and maturity of transactions. Our investment objective is to invest in securities that preserve principal while maximizing yields, without significantly increasing risk. We seek to substantially mitigate credit risk associated with investments by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with governments, well-capitalized financial institutions and other creditworthy counterparties.

An ongoing review is performed to evaluate changes in the status of counterparties. In addition to the intrinsic creditworthiness of counterparties, our policies require diversification of counterparties (banks, financial institutions, bond issuers and funds) so as to avoid a concentration of risk.

Our clearing houses hold material amounts of clearing member cash deposits which are invested to generate interest income for our clearing members. Refer to note 9 to our consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for more information on the clearing houses cash deposits, which were $42.8 billion as of March 31, 2014. For a summary of the risks associated with this investment activity and how these risks are mitigated, see Part II, Item 7(A) “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Impact of Inflation

We have not been adversely affected by inflation as technological advances and competition have generally caused prices for the hardware and software that we use for our electronic platforms to remain constant or to decline. In the event of inflation, we believe that we will be able to pass on any price increases to our participants, as the prices that we charge are not governed by long-term contracts.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, we acquired NYSE Euronext and are in the process of integrating the acquired business into our overall internal control over financial reporting process. As a result, we are excluding the acquired NYSE Euronext business from the assessment of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the SEC's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from our scope for 12 months following the acquisition.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.

PART II. Other Information

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are from time to time subject to legal proceedings and claims, like the ones described below, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business. It is possible that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially and adversely affected by any developments relating to legal proceedings and claims.

On April 18, 2014, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Southern District") by the City of Providence, Rhode Island, against more than 40 defendants, including "Exchange Defendants", "Brokerage Defendants" and “HFT [High Frequency Trading] Defendants”. New York Stock Exchange LLC and NYSE Arca, Inc., two of our subsidiaries, are among the named Exchange Defendants. Plaintiff is suing on behalf of a class of “all public investors” who bought or sold stock on a U.S.-based exchange or alternative trading venue from April 18, 2009 to the present. The complaint asserts violations by all Exchange Defendants of Sections 10(b) and 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages against all defendants, jointly and severally, as well as various forms of equitable relief. On May 2, 2014, a purported class action lawsuit with similar allegations and legal claims was filed in the Southern District by American European Insurance Company against most of the same entities (including New York Stock Exchange LLC and NYSE Arca, Inc.) named as defendants in the City of Providence lawsuit. Additional information may be obtained from the complaints, which are styled, respectively, as City of Providence v. BATS Global Markets, Inc. et al., Case No. 14-cv-2811 (S.D.N.Y.), and American European Insurance Company v. BATS Global Markets, Inc. et al., Case No. 14-cv-3133 (S.D.N.Y.). The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot reasonably be predicted at this time.

ITEM 1(A). RISK FACTORS

In the first quarter of 2014, there were no significant changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2013 Form 10-K. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, including the Regulatory Update Section of Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our 2013 Form 10-K. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks and uncertainties in our Form 10-K are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.
