NASDAQ OMX Group (NDAQ)

Net Interest Income

Net interest expense was $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared with net interest expense of $21.1 million for the first quarter of 2007. The decline in net interest expense is primarily due to lower average net debt, lower interest rates, and higher cash balances in the most recent quarter.

Net interest income

Net interest income was $12.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared with net interest expense of $18.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, representing an increase of $30.7 million. This increase was primarily due to additional interest income on higher cash balances due to the cash proceeds received from the sale of our share capital of the London Stock Exchange plc and lower interest expense on debt due to a lower outstanding balance. In September 2007, NASDAQ used $1.1 billion of the $1.8 billion of proceeds from the sale of our share capital of the London Stock Exchange Group plc to repay in full and terminate outstanding debt obligations.

Earnings Per Share

Fourth quarter earnings per diluted share were $0.52 versus $0.43 per diluted share in the prior year quarter, and $2.41 in the third quarter of 2007. Included in third quarter 2007 results are pre-tax gains associated with NASDAQ’s sale of its share capital of the London Stock Exchange Group plc, noted above. NASDAQ’s weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share were 154.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 versus 152.1 million in the year-ago quarter and 152.3 million in the third quarter of 2007.
