Johannesburg - The Johannesburg Stock Exchange revenue increased marginally by 1.1% to R1.38bn in 2012, the company said on Tuesday.
In its financial year results for the year ended December 31 2012, JSE said its performance was in line with exchanges globally, which saw trade revenues fall.
However, this was offset by growth in other revenue lines, with notable improvements in both interest rate products and market data.
Total operating expenses were slightly lower, at R1.03bn, compared to R1.04bn in 2011.
The company declared a dividend of 250 cents per share.
JSE CEO Nicky Newton-King said earnings made by the JSE improved by 6.7% year-on-year to R405.6m, with earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) up by just a percent to 29%.
"This performance demonstrates the resilience of the JSE’s business and attests to the underlying strength of our strategy of continuing to diversify the revenue base."
Net profit after tax declined by 12% to R302.1m, largely due to tax issues associated with the impairment of certain technology costs during 2011 and 2012. Cash generated from operations totalled R470.4m, down from R664.6m in 2011.
"The leadership team is comfortable that the progress made in 2012, the internal efficiencies and can do culture that is now taking root, together with the group’s financial strength, provide a solid launch pad for delivering on our 2013 strategic objectives", she said.
The number of new company listings on the JSE declined to 12, from a previous 16.
The total nominal listed bond value by end December 2012 was R1.6 trillion from R1.3 trillion in 2011.
A total of 1 452 bond listings were recorded by that time.
In the equity market, revenue declined by 9.4% to R319.1m.
