Gregor Pottmeyer, CFO of Deutsche Börse AG, commented:
“Our secular net revenue growth continued to develop positively in the third quarter, as expected. Even if the tailwinds from the phase of high interest rates are gradually slowing, we are looking at a very attractive core business with further significant growth potential. All the segments in our Group contributed to our success in the first nine months. Our expectations were exceeded, especially in the Commodities unit and for net interest income. We now assume that we will again exceed the revised guidance for the full year 2024 and expect net revenue of around €5.8 billion, with EBITDA in a range of €3.3 to 3.4 billion.”
Concerning the strategic outlook, Stephan Leithner, Co-CEO of Deutsche Börse AG, said:
“We are right on track with the implementation of our Horizon 2026 strategy. The very good secular growth of our business units, together with the successful integration of SimCorp are clear signs of progress. We are working with great motivation and focus on implementing our strategy and are very confident of reaching our financial targets for 2026.”
