In 2010, the market operator reported net profit of RON5.7 million.
The stock exchange said operating profit rose to RON6.4 million in 2011, from RON0.3 million in 2010. Financial result stood at RON12.4 million, double from RON6.2 million last year.
“The 2011 operating result was influenced by higher trading in almost all segments, while the dividends for the years 2007 and 2010 from the Central Depository had a significant contribution to the financial result,” the exchange said in its preliminary financial report.
Sales revenue increased 66.4% on the year to RON21.73 million, fueled by higher revenue from trading activities, additional market participants, admission and maintenance to trading fees of the issuers and data vending.
Overall trading in the stock market, including the Deal segment, rose to RON10.5 billion in 2011, from RON6.1 billion in the previous year.
“Trading value on the stock market increased by 72% in 2011, mainly due to the listing of Fobdul Proprietatea (FP.RO) shares which generated half of the total trading value last year, including Deal trades,” the market operator said.
