NASDAQ’s revenue grew 7% in the period between 2010-2015, driven mainly by market technology revenues, corporate solutions revenues (driven by the acquisition of Reuters Corporate Solutions) and broker, index licensing and access services fee (driven by the acquisition of e-speed), partially offset by lower transaction revenues. On the other hand, operating expenses grew only 3% in the last five years, owing to higher compensation expenses and restructuring charges, offset by lower transaction based expenses. Consequently, the company’s EBITDA rose significantly during the period due to the surge in revenues which outpaced the rise in costs.
