In the first half of 2012, the market operator reported net profit of RON7.64 million.
The stock exchange said sales revenue fell 10.6% to RON8.9 million in January through June, from RON9.95 million in the year-earlier period.
Operating profit declined 30% to RON2.55 million. Financial result dropped by 54.7% on the year to RON2.22 million, mainly due to lower dividends from the Central Depository, the exchange said in its first-half report. Operating expenses rose 1.7% to RON6.4 million.
In the second quarter compared with the previous three months, the exchange’s operating profit rose more than three-fold to RON1.89 million, the report showed.
The increase was mostly fueled by revenues from a secondary offering of 15% in state-run natural gas transporter Transgaz (TGN.RO) and a private placement of OMV Petrom (SNP.RO) shares from investment fund Fondul Proprietatea (FP.RO).
End-July, the market operator reported total assets worth RON99.3 million, up 1.3% from December 2012.
The results are non-consolidated, unaudited and computed under local accounting standards.
The stock exchange listed its shares on its own trade platform in June 2011.
At around 11:30 am Monday, the bourse’s shares traded down 1.79% at RON21.9, amid a slightly declining market. (EUR1=RON4.4373)
