NeoNet in the First Half of 2005 Revenues increased during the first six months of the year and were distributed more evenly over the period than in previous years. Trading intensity was high during the second quarter. Revenues were up 28% for the second quarter and 6% for the six-month period compared to the same periods last year. Both the earnings after tax and operating earnings before depreciation and net financial items (EBITDA) improved for the quarter and the six-month period compared to the same periods in 2004. The EBITDA for the first half of 2005 amounted to SEK 20.7 m (13.0), an improvement of 59%. The underlying cash flow was strengthened due to the improvement in the EBITDA and a lower rate of investment. There was a good inflow of new clients over the six-month period. Clients’ trading patterns are becoming increasingly advanced and they can therefore take greater advantage of the benefits of NeoNet’s very fast and efficient trading platform. More and more clients take advantage of the opportunity to trade efficiently on many different exchanges through NeoNet. This ties in with the trend whereby clients are increasing the percentage of their trading activity on the European exchanges excluding Stockholm and Helsinki. One area that has experienced growth is trading with baskets of shares, so-called program trading, through NeoNet. NeoNet’s offering enables program trading on all 16 exchanges and is a highly efficient solution for the company’s clients. Steps taken to reduce transaction and interest expenses had an effect during the six-month period. However, a change in trading patterns whereby the average size of transactions is smaller has resulted in increased transaction expenses during the second quarter. Investments for the six-month period amounted to SEK 8.1 m (10.0) and were, among other things, focused on enhancing the functionality for electronic program trading. The new functionality was developed to meet an increasing demand for program trading and supplements the program trading offered via the trading desk. The next stage will be to develop trading tools for so-called algorithmic trading and to further increase the number of market places.
