18 January 2010 - Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX) today announced a net profit of

$165.8 million for the first half of its financial year 2010. Excluding non-recurring items,

net profit was 7% higher compared to 1H FY2009 ($159.2 million). In the second quarter

of the financial year 2010, excluding the non-recurring items, net profit of $77.0 million was

3% higher than a year ago. Operating revenue increased 6% to $324.0 million (1H

FY2009: $304.9 million).

The recovery in equity markets is reflected in our securities daily average trading value

increasing to $1.6 billion (1H FY2009: $1.2 billion) and a good start to trading in 2010.

With a return of capital markets activity, the IPO side of our business is expected to see a

better year. Our derivatives business, while affected by a decline in volatility resulting in

lower trading volume (27.4 million contracts), held up well with the addition of new market

participants and supporting technology.
