On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012, compared with net income of $11.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011.

Net income on a GAAP basis for the nine months of 2012 was $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $19.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $606.6 million, down 11.0%, compared with $681.9 million for the same period in 2011, while non-GAAP basis net income for the first nine months of 2012 was $11.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with $34.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2011.
Michael Gooch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GFI, commented: “Trading conditions remained challenging due to sluggish global economic conditions, regulatory, fiscal, tax, political and market uncertainty and the ongoing sovereign debt issues in the Eurozone. The risk averse trading environment and broad uncertainty continue to depress trading volumes. We believe that markets will remain subdued into 2013 until there is greater regulatory certainty, the problems in Europe dissipate and/or investor risk appetite improves.
GFI’s software, analytics and market data revenues, which are largely subscription based and are less immediately affected by trading volumes, were up 12.6% in the third quarter of 2012 over the same period in the prior year, with growth from both Trayport and FENICS. We continue to see growth opportunities in these subscription-based, higher margin software businesses.
“Despite the slow trading conditions, we remained focused on enhancing and expanding GFI’s electronic execution capabilities with approximately 61% of third quarter brokerage revenues, excluding Kyte, supported with GFI proprietary trading technology. Revenues from matching sessions have notably increased year-to-date in fixed income derivatives globally, and we have made significant progress in our cash bond businesses in the Americas, with over 30% of third quarter revenues derived from electronic matching sessions. We have significant electronic capabilities across all regions which, we believe, positions GFI well in the face of global financial regulatory reform.
“In addition to expanding GFI’s technology footprint, we also continued to adjust GFI’s front and back office cost structure with $21 million in cost savings year-to-date, largely related to compensation expense, and we expect to reach our goal of $50 million in cumulative cost savings in 2013, as compared to 2011 expense levels. We are committed to delivering profitable, technology enhanced brokerage services.
“We are two weeks into the migration of the U.S. OTC energy swaps markets to listed energy futures products. We were prepared for this change and, as of now, have seen no immediate diminishment in our client service or North American energy brokerage revenues. We are monitoring the situation and intend to be similarly prepared for further regulatory changes to come.
“Looking at October activity to-date, GFI’s preliminary total revenues are tracking down approximately 3% compared with total revenues for the same month last year. We believe that GFI’s October performance is within the range of volume declines reported in the broader exchange-traded markets and is consistent with a lower volatility environment.
Mr. Gooch concluded: “We are pleased to declare a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share to GFI shareholders.”

Dividend Declaration
The Board of Directors of GFI has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on November 30, 2012 to shareholders of record as of November 15, 2012.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement GFI’s unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by GFI include non-GAAP total revenues, non-GAAP net revenues, non-GAAP provision for or benefit from income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, cash earnings and cash earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures currently exclude from the Company’s statement of income amortization of acquired intangibles and certain other items that management views as non-operating, non-recurring or non-cash as detailed in the reconciliation included in the financial tables attached to this release.
In addition, GFI may consider whether other significant non-operating, non-recurring or non-cash items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses. The non-GAAP financial measures also take into account estimated adjustments to income tax expense with respect to the excluded items.
GFI believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business, operating results or future outlook. GFI’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the Company’s performance to prior periods.
In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items GFI excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude amortization of acquired intangibles because when analyzing the operating performance of an acquired business, GFI’s management focuses on the total return provided by the investment (i.e., operating profit generated from the acquired entity, as compared to the purchase price paid) without taking into consideration any charges for allocations made for accounting purposes. Further, because the purchase price for an acquisition necessarily reflects the accounting value assigned to intangible assets, when analyzing the operating performance of an acquisition in subsequent periods, the Company’s management excludes the GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets on its financial results. GFI believes that such an approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by an acquisition and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the accounting expense associated with acquired intangible assets.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP is included in the financial tables attached to this release.
