CME and CBOT Each Report Strong Second-Quarter Revenues and Profits

CHICAGO, July 24, 2007 – CME Group (NYSE, NASDAQ: CME) today reported Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings Inc. (CME) second quarter results. Total revenues increased 17 percent to $329 million and net income increased 15 percent to $126 million for second-quarter 2007 compared with second-quarter 2006. Diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis rose 14 percent to $3.57 from $3.12. Excluding merger-related expenses of $7.0 million, diluted earnings per share would have been $3.69.

A summary of financial results for CBOT Holdings, Inc. (CBOT) is included later in this release and reflects a full quarter’s activity prior to the company’s merger with CME on July 12, 2007. CME Group results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 will include CBOT results from July 13, 2007.

“We are pleased to have completed the historic merger of CME and CBOT which we believe will deliver significant value for the shareholders and customers of CME Group,” said CME Group Executive Chairman Terry Duffy. “Together, CME and CBOT had combined revenues of more than $500 million in second-quarter 2007, which underscores the ability of our combined enterprise to deliver organic growth as well as be positioned to compete better globally for expanded business in regulated and over-the-counter derivatives markets. We look forward to building on our shared legacies of product innovation, technological expertise and superior customer service to capitalize on the tremendous growth opportunities we see in this global marketplace.”

“In addition to delivering another solid quarter and closing the merger, we focused intensely on integration planning and new growth initiatives over the last few months,” said CME Group Chief Executive Officer Craig Donohue. “Our hard work has put us in a position to accelerate many of our merger integration milestones. This includes completing the transition of CME and CBOT products onto a single electronic platform in January 2008, and beginning to combine our trading floors in March 2008, both ahead of our initial schedule. In addition, we continue to execute on our growth strategy — our electronic options volume reached record levels, we delivered record transaction processing services revenue, FXMarketSpace has progressed significantly in a short amount of time, and last week we announced the addition of centralized clearing to our over-the-counter interest rate swaps offering.”

All references to volume and rate per contract information in the text of this document exclude our non-traditional TRAKRS products, for which CME Group receives significantly lower clearing fees than other CME Group products, CME Group Auction Markets products and Swapstream products.

NOTE: The non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance exclude merger-related expenses of $7.0 million for the second quarter 2007 and $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Non-GAAP measures do not replace and are not a substitute for GAAP financial results but are provided to improve overall understanding of current financial performance.

After a slow start in April, stronger May and June volumes drove a CME clearing and transaction fee increase of 11 percent to $253 million, up from $229 million for second-quarter 2006. In addition, CME generated record revenue from processing services, increasing 86 percent from the same period a year ago to reach $38 million. CME Clearing handled record CBOT volumes of 4.0 million contracts per day, resulting in revenue of $24 million, up 20 percent from last year’s second quarter. NYMEX volume on CME Globex averaged a record 710,000 contracts per day, resulting in revenue of $14 million. Additionally, quotation data fees were up 18 percent to $24 million.

The average rate per contract was $0.624 for the quarter compared with $0.632 in the second quarter of 2006. The slight rate decrease was primarily driven by a higher proportion of the volume coming from members, who have lower average fees.

Total expenses increased 19 percent to $137 million. The incremental expense in the second quarter for CME-CBOT merger-related expenses was $7.0 million, driven primarily by legal, advertising, and integration consulting costs. Excluding this, expenses would have been $130 million, up 12 percent with the prior year and in line with historical growth rates. Capital expenditures were $26 million in second-quarter 2007, excluding leasehold improvement allowances.

Second-quarter income before income taxes was $209 million, an increase of 16 percent from $180 million for the year-ago period. The company’s operating margin was 58 percent on a GAAP basis, or 61 percent excluding merger-related costs of $7.0 million, compared with 59 percent for the same period last year. Operating margin is defined as operating income as a percentage of total revenues.

CME’s working capital increased by approximately $97 million during the second quarter, to $1.5 billion at June 30, 2007.

CBOT Holdings Second-Quarter 2007 Results

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, CBOT reported a 33 percent increase in revenue reaching a record $204 million, which reflects growth in trading volume and a higher average rate per contract. Net income for the quarter also hit record levels increasing 34 percent to $58 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter. Excluding merger-related expenses, net income would have been $72 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, a 65 percent increase from second-quarter 2006. In last year’s second quarter, CBOT reported net income of $43 million, or $0.82 per diluted share.

Revenue growth combined with curtailed spending in advance of the merger resulted in higher operating margins in the second quarter for CBOT. The operating margin for the quarter expanded to 46 percent from 45 percent in the same period last year. Excluding merger-related expenses, the operating margin for the quarter would have been 56 percent.

Included in second-quarter 2007 results are $20.1 million in merger-related expenses. These expenses consist primarily of legal and advisory fees incurred in connection with CBOT’s merger with CME and the unsolicited proposal from IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.

NOTE: The non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance exclude merger-related expenses of $20.1 million for the second quarter 2007 and $33.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The CME merger-related expenses have been treated as non-deductible for tax purposes. Non-GAAP measures do not replace and are not a substitute for GAAP financial results but are provided to improve overall understanding of current financial performance.

Revenue growth for the quarter was primarily driven by higher exchange and clearing fees, which increased $52 million, or 45 percent. This growth was fueled by a 23 percent increase in total trading volume and a 17 percent increase in the average rate per contract in second-quarter 2007 compared with 2006.

CBOT achieved record trading volume for the second quarter with 256 million contracts traded, a 23 percent increase from the comparable prior year period. Average daily volume for the quarter reached a record 4.0 million contracts, up 21 percent compared with the same period last year. Additionally, electronic trading grew 41 percent to 3.1 million contracts per day in the second quarter of 2007 from 2.2 million contracts per day in the prior year’s second quarter.

The average rate per contract was $0.662 for the quarter compared with $0.564 in the second quarter of 2006. The rate increase resulted primarily from changes in trading fees implemented in 2006. The average rate per contract also benefited from increased electronic trading of agricultural contracts following the August 1, 2006, introduction of electronic trading of agricultural futures during daytime trading hours.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter were $110 million, up 29 percent over the prior year’s second quarter. Excluding merger-related expenses of $20.1 million for the quarter, operating expenses increased 5 percent compared with the prior-year period. Volume-based expenses were $26 million, up 20 percent, which is in line with the growth in trading volume. Baseline and other costs, or non-volume based expenses, were $84 million this quarter compared with $64 million in second-quarter 2006, a 32 percent increase. Excluding second-quarter 2007 merger-related expenses, non-volume based expenses were relatively flat compared with last year’s second quarter.
