NYFIX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF 2008 RESULTS

Gross Profit and Bottom Line Improve over 2007


New York, NY, August 11, 2008: NYFIX, Inc. (Nasdaq: NYFX) (“NYFIX” or the “Company”), a trusted provider of innovative solutions that optimize trading efficiency, today reported results for second quarter and first half 2008. The Company’s increased focus on net results has improved gross profits and narrowed losses for second quarter and first half 2008 compared to the corresponding periods in 2007. Revenues were $28.6 million for second quarter 2008, a 7% decrease compared to revenues of $30.8 million for second quarter 2007, primarily reflecting the impact of a $3.2 million reduction in revenues across all businesses from the Company’s decision to discontinue the Fusion OMS product.

Business developments during the second quarter included:

·
the strategic acquisition in April of FIXCITY, Ltd., a U.K. based specialist in web-based electronic trading and liquidity discovery solutions;
·
the formation of strategic partnerships to extend the reach of the NYFIX Marketplace into Japan and Canada and to provide clients with efficient access to trading algorithms;
·
the release in June of Appia v5, the new high performance version of the Appia FIX engine which incorporates innovative dynamic load balancing capabilities and performance fine tuning; and
·
a reduction in June of the Company’s global workforce by approximately 10%, which is expected to save more than $5 million on an annualized basis.

“As we continue to make significant investments towards our long term growth initiatives such as Euro Millennium and FIXCITY, we are also continuing to focus on improving the cost structure of our core businesses,” said Howard Edelstein, CEO of NYFIX. “The investments we made in our infrastructure during 2007 and our increased emphasis on our more profitable businesses are providing us with greater operating leverage as we move forward.”

·
A 17% increase in FIX Division net revenues to $16.6 million compared to $14.2 million for second quarter 2007. The 2008 amount includes revenues of $0.7 million from FIXCITY and reflects a reduction in revenues from Fusion OMS clients of $0.4 million.
·
A 22% decrease in Transaction Services Division net revenues to $10.8 million compared to $13.9 million for second quarter 2007. The 2008 amount reflects reduced revenues from Fusion OMS clients of $2.1 million and reduced revenues from DOT DMA, which historically has not contributed to margins, of $1.8 million.
·
A 56% decrease in OMS Division net revenues to $1.2 million compared to $2.6 million for second quarter 2007. The 2008 amount reflects a reduction in revenues from Fusion OMS clients of $0.7 million.

These loss amounts exclude the impact of accumulated preferred dividends of $(0.8) million, or $(0.02) per share, and $(1.7) million, or $(0.05) per share, for second quarter 2008 and second quarter 2007, respectively.

Since second quarter 2007, NYFIX has incurred costs for Euro Millennium, a neutral dark pool of liquidity in pan-European listed cash equities. Euro Millennium was launched in March 2008 for matching U.K. listed equities and the platform has recently been expanded to match cash equities in other European markets, including Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands. To date there have been no material revenues from Euro Millennium as efforts continue to connect new clients and to enhance the electronic trading capabilities of existing clients to take advantage of the platform.

The Company’s equity incentive program, which was implemented in 2007, was designed to award large upfront grants rather than make smaller annual grants to maximize the incentive and retention impacts of the grants and to better align the interests of employees with stockholders. As a result, stock-based compensation will remain at high levels until the 2007 grants fully vest.

In June 2008, the Company reduced its employee and consultant headcount by approximately 10%. In connection with this initiative, the Company incurred employee termination costs.

Since the acquisition of FIXCITY in April 2008, the Company has incurred related integration costs. The integration costs incurred during second quarter 2008 included a $0.5 million write-off of capitalized software, which was replaced by acquired technology, and $0.1 million of third-party consulting costs related to integrating FIXCITY’s technology platform.

The Company incurred a restructuring charge during second quarter 2008 for employment-related costs associated with the discontinuation of the Fusion OMS product. In addition, the Company incurred an additional operating loss during second quarter 2008 related to supporting the Fusion OMS product during the wind-down phase.

The restructuring charge for first half 2008 reflects the net impact of employment related costs of $0.7 million associated with the discontinuation of the Fusion OMS product and the reversal of a restructuring reserve of $0.5 million related to the termination of a lease and corresponding sublease of office space previously occupied in Stamford, CT.

Outlook for the Remainder of 2008 and Subsequent Events

During the remainder of 2008, NYFIX will continue its focus on improving its net results and growing its core businesses.

Volumes in NYFIX Millennium continue to be strong with a near record of more than 1.2 billion shares matched in July 2008.

The Company expects its recent headcount reduction initiative to save more than $5 million on an annualized basis.

The Company expects losses related to Euro Millennium to continue throughout 2008, with a loss between $2.0 and $2.5 million expected in third quarter 2008.

Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $2.0 million per quarter for the remainder of 2008. This amount may vary, however, depending on additional grants or cancellations and whether performance awards actually vest.
 
The Company expects to incur an additional $0.4 million of third party consulting costs during the remainder of 2008 related to the integration of the FIXCITY technology platform. 
 
The Company does not expect to incur any further restructuring or wind-down operating losses related to the discontinuation of the Fusion OMS product going forward. In addition, the transitional programs referred to in the tables above, related to remediation and employment, were complete as of June 30, 2008 and no future costs are expected for these items.
