In the first quarter of 2011, the market operator reported net profit of RON2.2 million.
“The successful closing of the secondary public offer of 15% in Transelectrica at the end of March laid the foundations for the re-launch of the privatization program of the Romanian government and the continuation of scheduled offers for 2012: Tarom, Transgaz, Romgaz and Hidrolectrica,” the Bucharest bourse operator said in its financial report.
The stock exchange reported operating profit of RON1.93 in January through March, down 36% from RON3 million a year earlier.
Sales revenue was down 15% to RON5.03 million in the first quarter, from RON5.98 million in the same period of 2011.
Overall trading in the stock market, including the Deal segment, fell to RON2.3 billion in January through March, from RON3.23 billion in the year-earlier quarter.
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 2010.
Thursday, the bourse’s shares closed down 2.97% at RON31, amid a declining market. (EUR1=RON4.4165)
