Excluding merger expenses, exit costs, disposal activity and discrete tax items, net income in the third quarter of 2013 was $131 million, or $0.53 per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis, compared to $108 million, or $0.44 per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis, in the third quarter of 2012.

"I would like to thank all of our clients, shareholders and employees for their support while we worked through our transformative deal with IntercontinentalExchange," said Duncan L. Niederauer, CEO, NYSE Euronext. "Throughout the process, we continued to execute against our business plan by transitioning our clearing operation, building substantial momentum in our Listings business, achieving our cost saving commitments for 2013 early and managing our capital in a disciplined way for our shareholders. We are especially pleased that Twitter recently announced they will list on the NYSE. What we accomplished has set an excellent foundation for the combination of our two great companies."
