Six Group profits buoyed by Eurex sale

The operator of Switzerland's national stock exchange has seen profits jump but revenues drop after the sale of its stake in derivatives exchange Eurex

Six Group, the operator of Switzerland's national stock exchange, has seen profits jump 46.5% in 2012, buoyed by the sale of its stake in derivatives exchange Eurex last year.

The Zurich-based group said today it posted net profit of Sfr320.1m ($336.2m) last year, up from Sfr218.6m in 2011, thanks to the sale of its 50% stake in Eurex to Deutsche Börse. Operating revenues fell as a result of the loss of its Eurex revenues to Sfr1.14bn from Sfr1.26bn the previous year.
