EXPLANATORY NOTE

On April 4, 2007, NYSE Group, Inc. (“NYSE Group”) and Euronext N.V. (“Euronext”) combined their businesses and NYSE Euronext became the parent holding company of both NYSE Group and Euronext (herein referred to as the “combination”). Under the purchase method of accounting, NYSE Group was treated as the accounting and legal acquirer in this business combination.

NYSE EURONEXT

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

NYSE Euronext is a holding company that, through its subsidiaries, operates the following securities exchanges: the NYSE and NYSE Arca, Inc. in the United States and the five European-based exchanges that comprise Euronext—the Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon stock exchanges, as well as the Liffe derivatives markets in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon. NYSE Euronext is a global provider of securities listing, trading, market data products, and software and technology services. NYSE Euronext was formed in connection with the April 4, 2007 combination of NYSE Group (which was formed in connection with the March 7, 2006 merger of the NYSE and Archipelago) and Euronext. NYSE Euronext common stock is dually listed on the NYSE and Euronext Paris under the symbol “NYX.” As of December 31, 2006 and up until April 4, 2007, NYSE Euronext had no significant assets and had not conducted any material activities other than those incident to its formation. However, on April 4, 2007, upon the consummation of the combination of NYSE Group and Euronext, NYSE Euronext became the parent company of NYSE Group and Euronext and each of their respective subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NYSE Euronext and its subsidiaries.

The business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext has been treated as a purchase business combination for accounting purposes, with NYSE Group determined to be the business and accounting acquirer. As a result, the results of NYSE Group are the historical results of NYSE Euronext.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the period. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally required in financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., have been condensed or omitted; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., requires

management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could be materially different from these estimates. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of NYSE Group and Euronext as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

Note 2—Business Combinations, Other Acquisitions and Dispositions

Euronext

On April 4, 2007, NYSE Group and Euronext combined their businesses under NYSE Euronext, a holding company formed for that purpose. On that date, NYSE Group became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYSE Euronext.

Also on April 4, 2007, NYSE Euronext acquired 91.4% of the share capital and 92.2% of the voting rights of Euronext through an exchange offer in which NYSE Euronext, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary NYSE Euronext (Holding) N.V. (“NYSE Euronext (Holding)”), offered to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Euronext for €21.32 in cash and 0.98 of a share of NYSE Euronext common stock.

On April 2, 2007, NYSE Euronext commenced a second offer period to acquire Euronext shares that were not tendered during the initial exchange offer period. On April 27, 2007, the second offer period closed, resulting in NYSE Euronext’s holding, through NYSE Euronext (Holding), 96.97% of the share capital and 97.68% of the voting rights of Euronext.

On June 6, 2007, NYSE Euronext, NYSE Euronext (Holding), Euronext N.V. and Euronext Paris S.A., as plaintiffs, filed a writ of summons with the Amsterdam Court of Appeals in the Netherlands initiating a compulsory acquisition procedure ( uitkoopregeling ) in accordance with Section 2:92a of the Dutch Civil Code. Shares of Euronext acquired in this procedure will be acquired only for cash and in an amount determined by the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals.

The price proposed in the writ of summons is €94.05 per share. This amount is equal to the cash equivalent of the standard offer consideration on April 4, 2007, the date on which the settlement and delivery of the Euronext shares tendered in the initial exchange offer period occurred and NYSE Euronext common stock began trading (with a closing price on that day of €74.21 on Euronext Paris (0.98 × €74.21 + €21.32 = €94.05)). The defendants listed in the writ of summons are all the remaining shareholders of Euronext other than the plaintiffs. Through the compulsory acquisition procedure, NYSE Euronext intends, through NYSE Euronext (Holding), to acquire 100% of the Euronext shares outstanding and not held by NYSE Euronext or its subsidiaries at the time of the final judgment of the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals or shortly thereafter. It is currently not known when the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals will issue its final judgment or when or at what price NYSE Euronext, through NYSE Euronext (Holding), will be able to acquire the Euronext shares that are the subject of the proceeding.

Under the purchase method of accounting, total merger consideration paid to Euronext shareholders in the exchange offer for outstanding shares of Euronext was approximately $9.8 billion. We anticipate that the additional purchase price for the shares to be acquired through the compulsory acquisition procedure will be approximately $0.3 billion. The results of Euronext have been included in the consolidated results of operations of NYSE Euronext since April 4, 2007.

The following is a summary of the purchase price in the Euronext combination (in millions, except per share data):


Euronext shares tendered		109 shares
Times		0.98	(a)
Times	$	61.70	(b)

Equity component	$	6,600

plus:
Euronext shares tendered		109 shares
Times	$	28.54	(a)

Cash component	$	3,115

Acquisition costs	$	73
Fair value of stock, equity awards and other instruments	$	55

Total purchase price	$	9,843

(a)	Each tendered Euronext share was exchanged into 0.98 of a share of NYSE Euronext common stock and €21.32 ($28.54) in cash.

(b)	Corresponding to the average closing stock price of NYSE Group common stock for the five-day period beginning two days before and ending after June 1, 2006 (the date the combination was agreed to and announced).

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of Euronext net assets as of the combination date as follows (in millions):


Historical equity of Euronext	$	2,248
Elimination of Euronext’s historical goodwill and intangibles		(1,066	)
Fair value of identifiable intangible assets:
National securities exchange registrations		5,346
Customer relationships		801
Trade names and other intangibles		231
Fair value adjustment of property and equipment		108
Fair value adjustment of equity method investments and investment in affiliates		61
Deferred tax impact of purchase accounting adjustments		(1,987	)
Minority interest		(134	)
Goodwill		4,235

Total purchase price	$	9,843

The allocation of the purchase price to Euronext assets and liabilities are only preliminary allocations based on estimates of fair values and will change when estimates are finalized. Therefore, the information above is subject to change pending the final allocation of purchase price. NYSE Euronext does not expect any of the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

NYSE Euronext entered into a €2.5 billion bridge facility to fund the cash portion of the consideration paid to Euronext shareholders in April 2007 in connection with the exchange offer. The bridge facility was subsequently redeemed using proceeds from the $3.0 billion global commercial paper program launched by NYSE Euronext in April 2007. NYSE Euronext also entered into a $3.0 billion syndicated revolving facility primarily used as a backstop for the global commercial paper program. Both the global commercial paper program and the syndicated credit facility include terms and conditions customary for agreements of this type, which may restrict NYSE Euronext’s ability to engage in additional transactions or incur additional indebtedness.

Archipelago Holdings, Inc.

On March 7, 2006, Archipelago and the NYSE combined their businesses and became wholly owned subsidiaries of NYSE Group. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total merger consideration was $1,085 million. The results of operations of Archipelago have been included in the consolidated results of operations since March 8, 2006.

The following is a summary of the purchase price in the Archipelago merger (in millions):


Purchase price	$	1,085
Acquisition costs		25

Total purchase price	$	1,110

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of Archipelago net assets as of the merger date as follows (in millions):


Historical cost of net assets acquired	$	458
Elimination of Archipelago’s historical goodwill and intangibles		(240	)
Fair value of identifiable intangible assets		585
Fair value adjustment of property and equipment		17
Other		(6	)
Deferred tax impact of purchase accounting adjustments		(234	)
Goodwill		530

Total purchase price	$	1,110

PCX Holdings, Inc. and Wave Securities, LLC.

On September 26, 2005, Archipelago completed the acquisition of PCX Holdings (“PCX”), which is now known as NYSE Arca, Inc., for a total purchase price of approximately $94.0 million. As part of the acquisition of PCX, Archipelago undertook to divest Wave Securities LLC (“Wave Securities”), a previously wholly-owned subsidiary of Archipelago. On March 3, 2006, Archipelago completed the sale of Wave Securities.

Pro Forma Results

The following table provides pro forma results of operations as if (i) the disposition of Wave Securities by Archipelago, (ii) the merger between Archipelago and the NYSE, and (iii) the business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext had been completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented (in millions, except per share data):


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Total revenues	$	1,198	$	931	$	3,405	$	2,892
Net income	$	271	$	148	$	605	$	431
Basic earnings per share	$	1.02	$	0.57	$	2.29	$	1.64
Diluted earnings per share	$	1.02	$	0.56	$	2.28	$	1.63

During 2005, NYSE Group adopted a plan to eliminate employee positions. The elimination of positions continued through 2006 and 2007. Additionally, as part of the business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, NYSE Euronext entered into a plan to eliminate employee positions. The following is a summary of the severance charges, utilization of the accrual through September 30, 2007 and the remaining accrual as of September 30, 2007 (in millions):


	US Operations			European Operations
Balance as of December 31, 2006	$	17		$	—
Employee severance and related benefits		2			11
Severance and benefit payments		(15	)		(8	)

Balance as of September 30, 2007	$	4		$	3

The US Operations severance charges are included in merger expenses and exit costs in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The European Operations severance charges represent the fair value assigned to this liability as part of the fair value adjustment on the purchase price of Euronext.

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority

On July 30, 2007, NYSE Group and NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”), each wholly owned subsidiaries of NYSE Euronext, entered into and completed an asset purchase agreement with National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) pursuant to which the member firm regulatory functions of NYSE Regulation, including related enforcement activities, risk assessment and the arbitration service (collectively, the “Transferred Operations”), were consolidated with those of the NASD. The consolidated organization is known as Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).

NYSE Regulation continues to perform market surveillance and related enforcement activities and listed company compliance for New York Stock Exchange LLC and NYSE Arca, Inc.

The transaction involved the transfer to FINRA of the assets and liabilities associated with the Transferred Operations (including related expenses and revenues and approximately 427 employees), the sublease to FINRA of office space at 20 Broad Street and 14 Wall Street in New York City, and the provision by NYSE Group of certain security and facilities services to the FINRA locations at 20 Broad Street and 14 Wall Street for a five-year period. In consideration of the transfer of the Transferred Operations and the provision of certain security and facilities services to FINRA, NYSE Group will receive cash consideration with a net present value of $103 million (consisting of $35 million paid at closing with respect to assets and liabilities associated with the Transferred Operations, and

cash payable over a five-year period for certain security and facilities services with a net present value equal to $68 million). In addition, NYSE Group received a payment at closing of approximately $6 million (equal to the net book value of the transferred assets at closing) and will receive additional payments totaling approximately $52 million over a five-year period in consideration of the sublease of office space and certain other services. In connection with the $35 million paid at closing, NYSE Euronext realized a $32 million gain classified as gain on sale of equity investments in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

In addition, FINRA and NYSE Group also entered into agreements under which NYSE Group provides certain transition services to FINRA and its affiliates and FINRA provides certain regulatory services to NYSE Group and its affiliates.

LCH.Clearnet

On July 27, 2007, LCH.Clearnet Group Limited (“LCH.Clearnet”) redeemed all of the outstanding LCH.Clearnet redeemable convertible preference shares (initially redeemable in December 2008) held by NYSE Euronext at an aggregate redemption value of €199 million, and repurchased 20 million LCH.Clearnet ordinary shares held by NYSE Euronext at a cost of €10 per share, the market value of the shares issued in December 2003 in connection with the creation of LCH.Clearnet. Total proceeds to NYSE Euronext from the sale were €399 million, or $548 million. These proceeds represent the fair value assigned to this asset as part of the fair value adjustment on the purchase price of Euronext. As such, the sale of this asset had no impact on NYSE Euronext’s condensed consolidated statement of income.

According to the agreement between the parties, LCH.Clearnet is expected to repurchase an additional 6 million ordinary shares from NYSE Euronext at a cost of €10 per share for an aggregate price of €62 million by April 2008, subject to certain conditions. Following the second repurchase, NYSE Euronext will retain a 5% stake in LCH.Clearnet’s outstanding share capital and will retain the right to appoint one director to LCH.Clearnet’s Board of Directors.

MBE Holdings – On June 20, 2007, Borsa Italiana exercised its call option right to purchase all the shares held by Euronext in MBE Holding. MBE Holding is a joint venture entity formed between Euronext (51%) and Borsa Italiana (49%) that owns 60.37% of Società par il Mercato dei Titoli di Stato, or MTS. MTS is a regulated European electronic exchange for government bonds and other types of fixed income securities. The shareholder agreement between Euronext and Borsa Italiana provides that, in the event of a change of control with respect to one party, the other party has the right to purchase all of the affected party’s shares in MBE Holding at fair market value within 90 days of the change of control. On August 2, 2007, NYSE Euronext and Borsa Italiana signed an agreement under which NYSE Euronext’s 51% stake in MBE Holding and 33% stake in MTSNext was valued at €100 million, or $137 million (dividend

attached). The transaction closed in September 2007. These proceeds represent the fair value assigned to this asset as part of the fair value adjustment on the purchase price of Euronext. As such, the sale of this asset had no impact on NYSE Euronext’s condensed consolidated statement of income.

Note 3—Segment reporting

There were no securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 because all outstanding securities were considered dilutive.

Note 6—Retirement Benefits

During the first quarter of 2007, NYSE Euronext eliminated certain components of its U.S. operations postretirement plans. As a result of this amendment, NYSE Euronext recorded a $13 million curtailment gain for the recognition of previously unrecognized prior service costs.

Note 7—Stock Based Compensation

In connection with the business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, each restricted stock unit, deferred stock unit, stock option and other right based on shares of common stock of NYSE Group or shares of Euronext outstanding immediately prior to the merger, was generally converted into an adjusted number of restricted stock units, deferred stock units options and rights with respect to NYSE Euronext common stock, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable before the business combination transaction. However, for tax purposes, in the case of French holders of Euronext awards, Euronext awards remained measured in shares of Euronext. NYSE Euronext intends to offer those holders the right to exchange any Euronext shares that they receive pursuant to their Euronext awards for shares of NYSE Euronext common stock at the exchange ratio set forth in the combination agreement at such time that certain adverse tax consequences no longer apply.

The restricted stock units measured in shares of NYSE Euronext and the options to purchase shares of NYSE Euronext common stock issued by NYSE Euronext in exchange for the restricted stock units measured in shares of Euronext and options to purchase shares of Euronext in the combination were included in the purchase price of Euronext and recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. Because continued service is required after the date of consummation in order to vest in any unvested awards, a portion of the value of those unvested awards is recognized over the remaining vesting period.

In March 2006, NYSE Group converted three Archipelago long-term incentive plans. As part of the merger with Archipelago, 0.2 million shares underlying restricted stock units granted to former Archipelago directors, officers and employees and 2.6 million shares underlying stock options granted to former Archipelago directors, officers and employees were converted to restricted stock and stock options, respectively, of NYSE Group.

On March 8, 2006, NYSE Group granted approximately 1.2 million restricted stock units to NYSE employees and certain SIAC employees under the Plan. These restricted stock units vest 50% on the grant date and 25% on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date. Compensation expense is based on the market price of the shares underlying the awards on the grant date and recognized ratably over the vesting period. NYSE Euronext estimates an expected forfeiture rate while recognizing the expense associated with these awards.

As of September 30, 2007, the employees of NYSE Euronext held approximately 1.6 million stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $20.01 (1.4 million of which were exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $16.66) and 2.3 million restricted stock units. As of September 30, 2007, the total aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable was $92 million and $86 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext recorded $9 million and $24 million, respectively, of stock based compensation included in compensation in the condensed consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2007, there was approximately $33 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and restricted stock units. This cost is expected to be recognized over approximately three years.

Legal matters

In re NYSE Specialists Securities Litigation

organization, is immune from private lawsuits challenging the manner in which it exercises its regulatory function and therefore affirmed dismissal of all the claims asserting that the NYSE had failed to effectively regulate specialists during the period 1998-2003. The Second Circuit, however, vacated the district court’s holding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to assert that the NYSE made false and misleading statements concerning the regulation and operation of its market, and remanded the matter to the district court for consideration of other grounds for dismissal that the NYSE had asserted in its motion to dismiss, including the plaintiffs’ failure to allege reliance or loss causation. Additional proceedings with respect to the NYSE have not yet been scheduled by the district court.

NYSE Euronext is one of numerous defendants named in a separate class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that alleges violations of federal antitrust laws, federal securities laws, and common law, in connection with the placing of market orders through NYSE’s SuperDOT order routing system. The complaint, which was served in August 2007, contains allegations similar to those asserted in the Specialists matter described above and seeks unspecified compensatory damages, subject to trebling under the antitrust laws. The case is in its initial stages and the defendants have not yet responded to the complaint.

Grasso Litigation

Various appeals in the matter remain pending with the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court, and no trial date is currently scheduled. On October 23, 2007, the Appellate Division granted the motion of the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) for permission to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals from the Appellate Division’s May 2007 order, relating to a different appeal, in which the Appellate Division dismissed four of the NYAG’s six claims against Mr. Grasso. The May 2007 order had held that the NYAG lacked statutory authority to assert those four claims and had reversed the trial court’s denial of Mr. Grasso’s motion to dismiss.

In addition to the matters described above and in the prior discussions incorporated by reference herein, NYSE Euronext is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. NYSE Euronext does not believe, based on currently available information, that the results of any of these various proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its operating results or financial condition.

The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is a holding company that supports DTC, which provides settlement and custody services to banks and broker-dealers, and NSCC, which provides trade clearance, netting and settlement services to banks, broker-dealers, mutual funds, insurance companies and other financial institutions in the United States.

On March 28, 2006, NYSE Group sold substantially all of its shares of DTCC common stock, which represented approximately 28% of DTCC’s common stock, for a $23 million cash payment and realized a $21 million gain. The after-tax impact of this gain was included in the cash dividend paid to each former NYSE member in connection with the merger of the NYSE and Archipelago. As of September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext owns 50% of the outstanding preferred stock of DTCC.

On November 1, 2006, NYSE Group completed the purchase of the one-third ownership stake in SIAC previously held by AMEX for approximately $40 million, as a result of which, NYSE Group now fully owns SIAC. In connection with the purchase, the SIAC shareholders’ agreement and AMEX’s participation in the SIAC facilities management agreement (under which SIAC had previously provided technology services to the NYSE and AMEX) were terminated and SIAC agreed to provide substantially reduced services to AMEX, as a customer, under a new services agreement.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN 48”).

On January 1, 2007, NYSE Euronext adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and recognized a $10 million increase to retained earnings as of January 1, 2007 primarily in relation to unclaimed U.S. research and experimentation tax credits for the period from 2001 to 2005. As of the date of adoption, NYSE Euronext had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $12 million. In connection with the assessment of certain positions in various U.S. and European tax jurisdictions, the gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2007 increased to $50 million of which $13 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

NYSE Euronext accounts for interest and penalties related to the underpayment or overpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax provision in the condensed consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2007, the accrued net interest receivable related to the above net tax benefit was $1 million.

In many cases, uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. The following table summarizes these open tax years by major jurisdiction:


Jurisdiction	Examination in progress	Open tax years
U.S.	2000 - 2005	2006

Portugal	None	2003 - 2006

NYSE Euronext does not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next twelve months.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as the forward looking statements described under “Forward Looking Statements.” Certain prior period amounts presented in the discussion and analysis have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Overview

As of December 31, 2006 and up until April 4, 2007, NYSE Euronext had no significant assets and had not conducted any material activities other than those incident to its formation. However, on April 4, 2007, upon the consummation of the combination of NYSE Group and Euronext, NYSE Euronext became the parent company of NYSE Group and Euronext and each of their respective subsidiaries. Under the purchase method of accounting, NYSE Group was treated as the accounting and legal acquirer in the combination with Euronext.

Also on April 4, 2007, NYSE Euronext acquired 91.4% of the share capital and 92.2% of the voting rights of Euronext through an exchange offer in which NYSE Euronext, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, NYSE Euronext (Holding) N.V. (“NYSE Euronext (Holding)”), offered to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Euronext for €21.32 in cash and 0.98 of a share of NYSE Euronext common stock.

On June 6, 2007, NYSE Euronext, NYSE Euronext (Holding), Euronext N.V. and Euronext Paris S.A., as plaintiffs, filed a writ of summons with the Amsterdam Court of Appeals in the Netherlands initiating a compulsory acquisition procedure (uitkoopregeling) in accordance with Section 2:92a of the Dutch Civil Code. Shares of Euronext acquired in this procedure will be acquired only for cash and in an amount determined by the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals.

writ of summons are all the remaining shareholders of Euronext other than the plaintiffs. Through the compulsory acquisition procedure, NYSE Euronext intends, through NYSE Euronext (Holding), to acquire 100% of the Euronext shares outstanding and not held by NYSE Euronext or its subsidiaries at the time of the final judgment of the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals or shortly thereafter. It is currently not known when the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals will issue its final judgment or when or at what price NYSE Euronext, through NYSE Euronext (Holding), will be able to acquire the Euronext shares that are the subject of the proceeding.

Operating Data

NYSE Euronext’s revenues are affected by many factors, including the number of companies (both new and continuing) listed on NYSE Euronext’s six cash equities markets, corporate actions by these companies (such as stock splits and mergers), trading activity on NYSE Euronext’s markets demand for data processing, and demand for market information. The following tables present selected operating data for the periods presented.

Sources of Revenues

Activity Assessment

The NYSE and NYSE Arca, Inc. pay fees to the SEC pursuant to Section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These Section 31 fees are designed to recover the costs to the government of supervision and regulation of securities markets and securities professionals. NYSE Group, in turn, collects activity assessment fees from member organizations executing trades on the NYSE and NYSE Arca, Inc., and recognizes these amounts when invoiced. Fees received are included in cash at the time of receipt and, as required by law, the amount due to the SEC is remitted semiannually and recorded as an accrued liability until paid. The activity assessment fees are designed so that they are equal to the Section 31 fees. As a result, activity assessment fees and Section 31 fees do not have an impact on NYSE Euronext’s net income.

Cash Trading

The NYSE charges transaction fees for executing trades in NYSE-listed equities on the NYSE as well as on orders that are routed to other market centers for execution. Changes to the pricing structure throughout 2006 allowed further alignment of transaction revenue with executed volume.

On NYSE Arca, transaction fees are charged to customers for trade execution of equity securities and equity options. NYSE Arca earns transaction fees for (i) customer orders of equity securities matched internally on NYSE Arca, as well as for customer orders routed out, and (ii) customer orders of equity options traded or cleared through NYSE Arca.

Euronext generates cash trading revenue from fees charged primarily for the execution of trades of equity and debt securities and other cash instruments on Euronext’s cash market, which is comprised of the separate cash markets operated in Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon and Paris. For historical reasons relating to Euronext’s prior ownership of Clearnet, part of the trading fee consists of a commission paid by LCH.Clearnet to Euronext in exchange for the service provided by Euronext in bringing new clients to the clearing house.

This “Exchange fee” for cash trading activity is based, in the case of trades executed on Euronext Paris and Brussels, on a flat fee per trade, which increases incrementally as the size of the trade increases, although (the fees applied to trades on Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris differ). The Exchange fee for trades executed on Euronext Amsterdam and Lisbon is also based on a flat fee per trade, although it remains fixed despite the size of the trade. Beginning in January 2008, the Exchange fee will be invoiced directly by Euronext. In addition, the Exchange fee applicable to securities traded on Euronext Paris will decrease as of January 2008. The Exchange fee applicable to securities traded on Euronext Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon will not change from the current rate.

Revenue from cash trading in any given period depends primarily on the number of trades executed on Euronext, the number of shares traded on NYSE and NYSE Arca, and the fee charged for execution. The level of trading activity is heavily influenced by general market conditions. Other factors that may impact the level of trading activity include the number and financial health of companies listed on NYSE Euronext’s cash markets and general competitive conditions.

NYSE Euronext’s cash trading pricing structures continue to undergo a fundamental examination as part of a broad strategic review of the NYSE Euronext’s opportunities for revenue growth and efficiency improvement. We seek to better capture value for the services rendered by aligning more closely transaction revenue with executed volume, product expansion and new product development. Transaction fees that NYSE Euronext earns in the future could also depend on the outcome of certain regulations and rule changes, such as Regulation NMS and European Commission’s Market in Financial Instruments Directive (or “MiFID”), which have the potential to impact our competitive environment.

Derivatives Trading

Revenue from derivatives trading consists of fixed per-contract fees for the (i) execution of trades of derivatives contracts on Euronext’s derivatives markets in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon, and (ii) execution of options contracts traded on NYSE Arca.

Revenues for fixed per-contract fees are driven by the number of trades executed and fees charged per contract. The principal types of derivative contracts traded are equity and index products and short-term interest rate products. Trading in equity products is primarily driven by price volatility in equity markets and indices and trading in short-term interest rate products is primarily driven by volatility resulting from uncertainty over the direction of short-term interest rates. The level of trading activity for all products is also influenced by market conditions and other factors, all of which are outside of Euronext’s control.

Liffe’s fee structure varies by type of contract and by type of member. With respect to the various contracts available through Liffe, fees are charged as follows:

•

Individual equity options: a flat fee per lot is charged in all Liffe business centers, except in Amsterdam (where the fees are capped per trade).

•

Individual equity futures: this type of contract is available in Lisbon and London, in respect of which a flat fee is charged per lot.

•

Index products: fees for these products are based on a flat fee per contract, and are capped in Amsterdam per trade above a certain level.

•

Bclear is one of three services for wholesale equity derivatives that Euronext launched in 2005. Nearly all equity derivative contracts listed in Liffe’s five centers and more than 700 underlyings listed in other non-Euronext markets are listed on Bclear. The Bclear fee structure is based on a per lot fee per side up to a fee cap per trade.

•

Interest rate products: a flat fee per lot is charged for these products, which are available in London.

•

Commodity products: a flat fee per lot is charged for these products, which are available in London and Paris.

Each Liffe center, except for Lisbon, provides preferred rates to market makers as follows:

•

In London, with respect to single equity options, market makers may be categorized as primary market makers (PMMs) or primary liquidity providers (PLPs), both of which receive fee discounts on business they transact in such market making capacity. The discounts are proportional to their quoting performance. For the FTSE 100 Index options contract (ESX), PMMs receive fee discounts that are proportionate to their quoting performances and designated market makers (DMMs) receive fee discounts based on target volumes.

•

In Paris, with respect to single equity options, market makers may be categorized as PMMs, PLPs or responding market makers (RMMs) that receive fee discounts on business they transact in their market making capacity. The discounts are proportional to their quoting performance. For the CAC40 options contract, PMMs and RMMs receive fee discounts that are proportional to their quoting performance. A specific regime governs FTSEurofirst futures designated market makers DMM.

•

In Amsterdam, on single equity options and on the AEX Index options, PMMs and competitive market makers (CMMs) pay a liquidity provider fee (€0.07 per lot) on the category, or Euronext Class Combination (ECC), in which they make a market.

•

In Brussels, on single equity options and on the Bel20 Index options, PMMs and CMMs are eligible for a low fee proportional to the premium they are transacting. This fee applies to the category, or ECC, in which they make a market.

•

In Lisbon and London, single and universal stock futures market makers pay no trading fees and are entitled to benefit of a part of the revenues generated by the contract on which they are making a market.

Currently, pricing for NYSE Arca, Inc. traded options includes, but is not limited to, the following:

•

transaction fees for market makers are $0.16 per contract;

•

transaction fees for lead market makers are $0.09 per contract; and

•

transaction fees for electronic broker dealer transactions are $0.50 per contract.

In addition, the rate schedule for electronic executions in penny pilot issues credits trading participants for providing liquidity by providing resting orders/quotes and assess a per contract fee to trading participants that take liquidity. Credits may be as high as $0.30 per contract and fees may be as high as $0.50 per contract.

Listings

NYSE Euronext operates listing venues through NYSE Group and Euronext.

There are two types of fees applicable to companies listed on the NYSE and NYSE Arca – listing fees and annual fees. Listing fees consist of two components: original listing fees and fees related to other corporate action related. Original listing fees, subject to a minimum and maximum amount, are based on the number of shares that the company initially lists with the NYSE or NYSE Arca, Inc. Original listing fees, however, are not applicable to companies when they list on the NYSE or NYSE Arca, Inc. in the context of a transfer from another market. Other corporate action related fees are paid by listed companies in connection with corporate actions involving the issuance of new shares to be listed on the NYSE or NYSE Arca, Inc., such as stock splits, rights issues, sales of additional securities, and mergers and acquisitions, which are subject to a minimum and maximum fee.

Annual fees are charged based on the number of outstanding shares of the listed company at the end of the previous year. Non-U.S. companies pay fees based on the number of listed securities issued or held in the United States. Annual fees are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the calendar year. Original fees are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over estimated service periods of 10 years for the NYSE and the Euronext cash equities markets and 5 years for NYSE Arca, Inc. Unamortized balances are recorded as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Listing fees for the Euronext subsidiaries comprise admission fees paid by issuers to list securities on the cash market, annual fees paid by companies whose financial instruments are listed on the cash market, and corporate activity and other fees, consisting primarily of fees charged by Euronext Paris for centralizing shares in initial public offerings and tender offers. Revenues from listing fees relate primarily to the number of shares outstanding.

Euronext has adopted a common set of listing fees for Euronext Paris, Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Brussels and Euronext Lisbon. Under the harmonized fee book, domestic issuers (i.e., those from France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal) pay admission fees to list their securities based on the market capitalization of the respective issuer. Subsequent listings of securities receive a 50% discount on admission fees. Non-domestic companies are charged admission and annual fees on a similar basis, although they are charged lower maximum admission fees and annual fees. Euronext Paris also charges centralization fees for collecting and allocating retail investor orders in initial public offerings and tender offers.

The revenue NYSE Euronext derives from listing fees is primarily dependent on the number and size of new company listings and tender offers. The number and size of new company listings and tender offers in any period depends primarily on factors outside of NYSE Euronext’s control, including general economic conditions in Europe and the United States (in particular, stock market conditions) and the success of competing stock exchanges in attracting and retaining listed companies.

Market Data

NYSE Group collects market data fees principally for consortium-based data products and, to a lesser extent, for NYSE proprietary data products. Consortium-based data fees are dictated as part of the securities industry plans. Consortium-based data revenues from the dissemination of market data (net of administrative costs) are distributed to participating markets on the basis of a formula set by the SEC under Regulation NMS. Last sale prices and quotes in NYSE-listed securities are disseminated through “Tape A,” which constitutes the majority of the NYSE’s revenues from consortium-based market data revenues. NYSE Group also receives a share of the revenues from “Tape B” and “Tape C,” which represents data related to trading of certain securities that are listed on NYSE Arca, AMEX, other regional exchanges and Nasdaq. These revenues are influenced by demand for the data by professional and non-professional subscribers. In addition, NYSE Group receives fees for the display of data on television and for vendor access. NYSE Group proprietary products make market data available to subscribers covering activity that takes place solely on the NYSE and NYSE Arca’s markets, independent of activity on other markets. NYSE Group proprietary data products also include the sale of historical price information and corporate action information.

Euronext charges a variety of users, primarily the end-users, for the use of Euronext’s real-time market data services. Euronext also collects annual license fees from vendors for the right to distribute Euronext data to third parties and a

service fee from vendors for direct connection. A substantial majority of Euronext’s market data revenues is derived from monthly end-user fees. Euronext also derives revenues from selling historical and reference data about securities, and by publishing the daily official lists for the Euronext markets. The principal drivers of market data revenues are the number of end-users and the prices for data packages.

Software and technology services

Revenue from sale of software primarily consists of (i) license fees received from securities exchanges and other financial institutions for software that Euronext develops internally or licenses, and (ii) sales of software and technology by NYSE TransactTools.

Revenues from license fees received from securities exchanges and other financial institutions for software that Euronext develops internally or licenses are generated primarily by GL TRADE. GL TRADE, a subsidiary of Euronext, is a global provider of front to back-office solutions for international financial institutions on both the buy side and the sell side.

GL TRADE’s revenues are earned mainly from annual subscriptions to its software and technology offerings. Subscriptions generally have an initial term of two years, and are renewed annually absent notice of cancellation. Most subscription contracts are on a calendar year basis and are generally paid in advance. NYSE Euronext records revenues from subscription agreements on a pro rata basis over the life of the subscription agreements, with the unrealized portions of invoiced subscription fees recorded as deferred revenue. Because of the annual nature of subscription agreements, changes in subscription revenues typically lag developments in the markets that GL TRADE serves. Subscription fees include basic service packages. Customers are invoiced separately for GL TRADE’s enhanced service packages. A portion of GL TRADE’s revenues, principally for its advanced order management offering, are derived from sales of five-year software licenses, which are generally accompanied by annual maintenance and service contracts. The bulk of GL TRADE’s revenues from these arrangements are recorded at the time of the license sale, while the maintenance contracts are typically renewed over time and thus generate recurrent revenues. As a result, a major license contract can have a significant impact on GL TRADE’s revenues for a given period, which will not necessarily carry forward to the same extent into future periods.

NYSE TransactTools revenues are generated primarily from connectivity services related to the SFTI network, software license and maintenance fees, and strategic consulting services. Customers pay to gain access to SFTI market centers via direct circuit to a SFTI access point or through a third-party service bureau or extranet provider. SFTI revenue typically includes a connection fee and monthly recurring revenue based on a customer’s connection bandwidth. Hardware co-location services are also offered at SFTI data centers, and customers typically sign multi-year contracts. co-location revenue is recognized monthly over the life of the contract. Revenue is also earned from sales of NYSE TransactTools’ enterprise software platform, which provides low-latency messaging and trade lifecycle management. Software license revenue is recorded at the time of sale, and maintenance contracts are recognized monthly over the life of the maintenance term. Unrealized portions of invoiced maintenance fees are recorded as deferred revenue. Expert consulting services are offered for customization or installation of the software and for general advisory services. Consulting revenue is generally billed in arrears on a time and materials basis, although customers sometimes prepay for blocks of consulting services in bulk. Prepaid consulting revenue is booked as deferred revenue until the services are rendered.

Regulatory

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the principal regulatory fees charged to member organizations of NYSE and NYSE Arca, Inc. included (i) a regulatory fee based on Gross Focus revenues charged to NYSE member organizations (specifically $0.42 per $1,000 of Gross Focus revenues generated by member broker-dealers, which are reported on a six-month lag

basis), (ii) a fee based on number of registered representatives charged to NYSE Arca, Inc. member organizations, and (iii) various regulatory fees charged to specialists and floor brokers on NYSE, and to market makers, order routing firms and other broker-dealers on NYSE Arca, Inc.

On July 30, 2007, however, the member firm regulatory functions of NYSE Regulation and related revenues (primarily fees based on Gross Focus revenues) were transferred to FINRA. As a result, effective as of that date and for the remainder of 2007, 75% of the NYSE fee based on Gross Focus revenues will be paid to FINRA. Effective as of January 1, 2008, the NYSE fee based on Gross Focus revenues will be reduced to 25% of its present level.

Other

Other revenue consists of trading license fees, facility and other services provided to specialists, brokers and clerks physically located on the NYSE floor that enable them to engage in the purchase and sale of securities on the trading floor and clearance and settlement activities derived from Euronext businesses.

For fiscal 2007, NYSE Group sold 1,065 trading licenses at an annual price of $50,000 per license, which is payable in equal monthly increments over the course of the year. The NYSE has made available a maximum of 1,366 trading licenses. Holders of trading licenses have the right to cancel their trading license prior to the end of the year. As of September 30, 2007, there were 735 trading licenses outstanding.

Components of Expenses

Section 31 Fees

See “Sources of Revenue—Activity Assessment Fees” above.

Liquidity payments

To enhance the liquidity of its system, NYSE Arca pays a fee per share to participants, referred to as “liquidity providers,” that post buy orders and sell orders on NYSE Arca, when the quote is executed against by liquidity takers purchasing or selling securities internally on NYSE Arca, Inc.

As of September 1, 2007, the NYSE established a system to provide variable payments to specialist firms for liquidity provision (“Liquidity Provision Payment” or “LPP”). LPPs are based on two revenue sources in NYSE-listed securities (excluding exchange traded funds): (i) the NYSE’s share of market data revenue derived from quoting share; and (ii) the NYSE’s transaction fee revenue.

Share of Market Data Revenue Derived from Quoting Share

Pursuant to Regulation NMS, the SEC revised the formula for the distribution by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”) of market data quote revenue in NYSE-listed securities (Network A) among the various markets (the “Revenue Allocation Formula”). As revised, the Revenue Allocation Formula established a “Quoting Share” to reward markets that quote at the National Best Bid and Offer. The LPP is based upon the Quoting Share revenue associated with each security a specialist firm trades.

Transaction Fee Revenue

The NYSE also created a payment pool (the “LPP Pool”) consisting of the NYSE’s NYSE-listed stock transaction revenue on matched volume (excluding crossing services) in both electronic and manually executed transactions to provide LPPs to the specialist firms. The LPP Pool size was originally set at 25% of the above-noted NYSE transaction revenue and was changed as of October 1, 2007, to 20% per month for each of the last three months of 2007 and 18% per month starting January 2008. The size of the LPP Pool varies month-to-month as NYSE volume changes. Each individual specialist firm is allocated a portion of these revenues based exclusively on its trading performance in any month. A specialist firm’s allocation increases if its performance as a liquidity provider improves relative to the other specialist firms. The allocation formula weights specialist liquidity in a given security by a 0.75 exponential calculation and then reweights the resultant number for each security by multiplying it by the percentage representing the NYSE’s regular-hours market share in that security. The 0.75 exponential calculation provides additional weighting to less liquid stocks.

Liffe operates a number of incentive schemes in two broad categories. The first category is incentive schemes whereby transaction fees are reduced or waived to incentivize members to trade, but where no obligation is placed on the member. These include liquidity provider incentive schemes, strategy rebates, block trades and other volume related discounts. Secondly, Liffe operates schemes whereby the member agrees to undertake market making activity – i.e., to enhance market liquidity by offering two way prices. The consideration for undertaking these obligations can be a combination of reductions to or waivers of transaction fees, a contribution to information technology and staff costs incurred in providing the services and /or a share of net transaction fees.

Routing and clearing

NYSE Group incurs routing charges when it does not have the best bid or offer in the market for a security that a customer is trying to buy or sell on the NYSE or NYSE Arca. In that case, NYSE Group routes the customer’s order to the external market center that displays the best bid or offer. The external market center charges NYSE Group a fee per share (denominated in tenths of a cent per

share) for routing to its system. Also, NYSE Arca incurs clearance, brokerage and related transaction expenses, which primarily include costs incurred in self-clearing activities, service fees paid per trade to exchanges for trade execution, and costs incurred due to erroneous trade execution.

Other Operating Expenses

Other Operating Expenses include merger expenses and exit costs, compensation, systems and communications, professional services, depreciation and amortization, occupancy and marketing and other.

Merger Expenses and Exit Costs.

Merger expenses and exit costs consist of severance costs and related curtailment losses, depreciation charges triggered by the acceleration of certain fixed asset useful lives, as well as legal and other expenses directly attributable either to the merger between the NYSE and Archipelago or the combination transaction with Euronext.

Compensation.

NYSE Euronext’s compensation expense includes employee salaries, incentive compensation (including stock-based compensation) and related benefits expense, including pension, medical, post-retirement medical and supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) charges. Part-time help, primarily related to security personnel at the NYSE, is also recorded as part of compensation.

Systems and Communications.

NYSE Euronext’s systems and communications expense includes (i) costs for development and maintenance of trading, regulatory and administrative systems, (ii) investments in system capacity, reliability and security, and (iii) network connection with its customers and its data centers, as well as connectivity to various other market centers.

Systems and communications expense also includes fees paid to third-party providers of networks and information technology resources, including fees for consulting, research and development services, software rental costs and licenses, hardware rental and related fees paid to third-party maintenance providers. For Euronext, such expenses consist primarily of fees charged by AEMS for information technology services relating to the operation and maintenance of Euronext’s cash and derivatives trading platforms, including license fees relating to NSC and LIFFE CONNECT ^®.

Professional Services.

NYSE Euronext’s professional services expense includes consulting charges related to various technological and operational initiatives, as well as legal and audit fees. NYSE Euronext’s historical spending related to professional services consists principally of legal and consulting expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization.

This item includes costs from depreciating fixed assets (including computer hardware and capitalized software) and amortizing intangible assets over their estimated useful lives.

Occupancy.

Occupancy includes costs related to NYSE Euronext’s leased premises, as well as real estate taxes and maintenance of owned premises.

Marketing and Other.

Marketing and other expenses includes advertising, printing and promotion expenses, insurance premiums, travel and entertainment expenses as well as other administrative expenses.

Regulatory Fine Income

Regulatory fine income is generated from fines levied by NYSE Regulation, which regulates and monitors trading on the NYSE and NYSE Arca. The frequency with which fines may be levied and their amount will vary based upon the actions of participants on the NYSE and NYSE Arca. Regulatory fines are used for regulatory purposes.

Regulatory fine income will decrease in future periods as a result of the transfer of certain functions previously carried out by NYSE Regulation to FINRA.

Results of Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the results of operations of NYSE Euronext included the results of NYSE Group for the full period and the results of operations of Euronext since April 4, 2007, the date that the combination of NYSE Group and Euronext was consummated. For the same period a year ago, the results of operations of NYSE Euronext only included the results of NYSE Group.

Highlights

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext reported revenues (excluding activity assessment fees), operating income and net income of $1,067 million, $298 million and $258 million, respectively. This compares to revenues (excluding activity assessment fees), operating income and net income of $439 million, $86 million and $68 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

The $628 million increase in revenues (excluding activity assessment fees), $212 million increase in operating income and $190 million increase in net income for the period reflect the following principal factors:

Increased revenues – Euronext’s results of operations were consolidated following the April 4, 2007 combination with NYSE Group and contributed revenues of $503 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, which was the primary driver of the period-over-period increase. Higher U.S. trading volumes also contributed to increased revenues.

Increased operating income – The period-over-period increase in operating income of $212 million was the result of Euronext’s contribution to operating income of $211 million, as well as other revenue growth and overall operating efficiencies as we continue to meet our integration goals.

Improved net income – Period-over- period, net income increased $190 million, which was primarily impacted by the consolidation of Euronext, revenue growth and overall operating efficiencies.

Cash trading. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, U.S. Operations contributed $323 million to NYSE Euronext’s cash trading revenues, a $152 million increase as compared to September 30, 2006. The primary drivers for this increase were pricing structure changes throughout 2006 on both the NYSE and NYSE Arca, Inc. and increased trading volume. European Operations contributed $143 million in revenues, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, in addition to positive structural trading trends (high frequency algorithmic trading), good performance overall in the main European indices and market volatility resulting in increased trading volumes.

Derivatives trading. Derivatives trading revenues increased by $234 million to $243 million, primarily reflecting the impact of Euronext’s business subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext and market volatility resulting in increased trading volumes both in the United States and in Europe.

Listing. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, listing fees was $96 million, an increase of $7 million from the comparable period a year ago, primarily reflecting the impact of Euronext’s business subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination between NYSE Group and Euronext.

Market data. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, market data revenue increased $44 million, or 77%, primarily reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext and the impact of price increases for market data recently introduced by Euronext. This increase was partially offset by lower market data revenue in the United States following a decline in the NYSE’s share of Tape A revenues.

Other. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, other revenues increased $48 million, or 42%, to $161 million. European Operations was the primary driver in this increase reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 combination of the businesses of NYSE Group and Euronext, along with the impact of business acquisitions by GL Trade. Partially offsetting this increase, (i) U.S. Operations’ regulatory revenue decreased $21 million as a result of the completion of the sale of the member firm regulatory functions of NYSE Regulation to FINRA, (ii) U.S. Operations’ software and technology services revenue decreased $3 million primarily as a result of a reduction in the amount of services provided by SIAC to AMEX and DTCC, and (iii) U.S. Operations’ other revenue decreased $11 million as a result of the discontinuation of the specialist trading privilege fee in December 2006 and the overall attrition in population on the NYSE’s trading floor.

Liquidity Payments

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, liquidity payments were $211 million, an increase of $145 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase reflects (i) changes in the NYSE’s pricing structure implemented during December 2006, including a fixed monthly specialist rebate, coupled with increased trading volumes on our U.S. cash markets, (ii) the implementation of the SEC’s option penny pilot program on NYSE Arca, (iii) the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext and (iv) increased trading volatility in the European derivatives markets.

Routing and Clearing

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, routing and clearing fees were $64 million, an increase of $44 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to new and increased amount of routing costs incurred as a result of order flow being routed to other market centers.

Other Operating Expenses

The components of Other Operating Expenses are merger expenses and exit costs, compensation, systems and communications, professional services, depreciation and amortization, occupancy and marketing and other.

Merger expenses and exit costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext incurred $22 million in merger expenses and exit costs consisting primarily of accelerated amortization on certain software and other equipment’s useful lives, and professional and other fees incurred in connection with both the acquisition of Archipelago Holdings on March 7, 2006 and the combination with Euronext on April 4, 2007.

Compensation. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, compensation increased $72 million, or 55%. European Operations, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 combination between the businesses of NYSE Group and Euronext, was the driver for the increase. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in U.S. Operations’ compensation related to (i) staff reductions including the 427 employees transferred to FINRA in July 2007 and the workforce reduction of more than 500 positions during the fourth quarter of 2006, (ii) elimination of certain post retirement benefits during 2007, and (iii) consolidation of benefit plans.

Systems and communications. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, systems and communications expenses increased $59 million, or 197%, primarily due to the European Operations reflecting the results of Euronext

subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, along with the impact of other business acquisitions in Europe.

Professional Services. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, professional services expenses increased $2 million, or 7%. European Operations, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 combination between the businesses of NYSE Group and Euronext, contributed to this increase, partially offset by reduced legal fees and the achievement of certain integration synergies in the U.S.

Depreciation and amortization. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, depreciation and amortization expense increased $36 million, or 103%. European Operations, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, was the driver for the increase.

Occupancy. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, occupancy increased $12 million, or 52%. European Operations, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, was the driver for the increase. Partially offsetting the inclusion of European Operations, occupancy expenses incurred by U.S. Operations decreased reflecting cost containment initiatives.

Marketing and other. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, marketing and other expenses increased $31 million, or 129%, primarily as a result of the impact of European Operations, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext.

Regulatory Fine Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, regulatory fine income decreased $1 million to $10 million. Regulatory fines result from actions taken by NYSE Regulation, Inc. in its oversight of NYSE and NYSE Arca member organizations and, accordingly, may vary period over period. Regulatory fine income will decrease in future periods as a result of the creation of FINRA.

Interest expense

The significant increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the interest expense on the debt incurred to fund the cash portion of the consideration paid to Euronext shareholders in April 2007.

Investment income

Consolidation of interest and investment income from Euronext and the favorable impact of rising interest rates on cash, cash equivalents and short term financial investments were the primary factors in the $12 million increase in investment income.

Gain on Sale of Equity Investment

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext recorded a $32 million gain on the sale of the member firm regulatory functions of NYSE Regulation to FINRA.

Income from Associates

Income from associates reflects NYSE Euronext pro rata share in earnings of equity method investments, including AEMS, MTS (through September 14, 2007) and Powernext.

Other Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, other income of $5 million primarily reflected the receipt of insurance reimbursements, which may vary period over period.

Minority Interest

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext recorded minority interest of $10 million primarily representing 2.32% of the Euronext N.V. income for the period, which corresponds to the percentage of voting rights that were not tendered during the initial exchange offer period. During the same period a year ago, NYSE Euronext recorded minority interest until November 1, 2006 when it purchased the one-third ownership stake in SIAC previously held by AMEX.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext provided for income taxes at a 33.7% annual effective tax rate which reflects foreign earnings taxed at lower rates. Including a discrete deferred tax benefit of $55 million related to an enacted reduction of the corporate tax rate from 30% to 28% in the United Kingdom, the applicable tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 16.4%. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, NYSE Euronext provided for income taxes at a 40.5% combined federal, state and local tax rate.

Highlights

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the results of operations of NYSE Euronext included the results of NYSE Group and the results of operations of Euronext following the April 4, 2007 combination of the businesses of NYSE Group and Euronext. For the same period a year ago, the results of operations of NYSE Euronext only included the results of NYSE, SIAC and the results of operations of NYSE Arca following the March 7, 2006 merger of NYSE Group and Archipelago.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext reported revenues (excluding activity assessment fees), operating income and net income of $2,547 million, $652 million and $486 million, respectively. This compares to revenues (excluding activity assessment fees), operating income and net income of $1,225 million, $183 million and $159 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

The $1,322 million increase in revenues (excluding activity assessment fees), $469 million increase in operating income and $327 million increase in net income for the period reflect the following principal factors:

Increased revenues – Euronext’s results of operations were consolidated following the April 4, 2007 combination with NYSE Group and contributed revenues of $926 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which was the primary driver of the period-over-period increase. Additionally, NYSE Arca’s results which were consolidated for the full nine months ended September 30, 2007 contributed an additional $381 million in revenues (excluding activity assessment fees) as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (which only included NYSE Arca’s results subsequent to the March 8, 2006 merger between NYSE Group and Archipelago).

Increased operating income – The period-over-period increase in operating income of $469 million was the result of Euronext’s contribution to operating income of $373 million, as well as the inclusion of NYSE Arca’s results for the full nine months ended September 30, 2007, as well as overall operating efficiencies as we continue to meet our integration goals.

Improved net income – Period-over-period, net income increased $327 million, which was primarily impacted by the consolidation of Euronext, revenue growth and overall operating efficiencies.

Cash trading. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, U.S. Operations cash trading revenues increased $409 million primarily as a result of the consolidation of NYSE Arca for the full nine months ended September 30, 2007, pricing changes and increased volumes. European Operations contributed $262 million in cash trading revenues reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, in addition to positive structural trading trends (high frequency algorithmic trading), good performance overall in the main European indices and market volatility resulting in increased trading volumes.

Derivatives trading. Derivatives trading revenue increased $419 million to $441 million, reflecting the impact of Euronext’s operations subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, and the consolidation of NYSE Arca for the full nine months ended September 30, 2007 and market volatility resulting in increased trading volumes both in the United States and in Europe.

Listing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, U.S. Operations listing fees were $271 million, an increase of $5 million from the comparable period a year ago. An increase in the aggregate number of shares listed from approximately from 408 billion to 414 billion and the resulting increase in annual fees billed at the beginning of the year contributed to the increase. European Operations contributed $14 million to listing fees reflecting the impact of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 combination of the businesses of NYSE Group and Euronext.

Market data. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, U.S. Operations market data revenue

increased $7 million, or 4%, as a result of the consolidation of NYSE Arca for the full nine months ended September 30, 2007 which was partially offset by lower marker date revenue in the Unites States following a decline in the NYSE’s share of Tape A revenues. European Operations contributed $97 million in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext and the impact of price increases for market data recently introduced by Euronext.

Other. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, other revenues increased $109 million, or 32%, to $448 million. European Operations was the primary driver in this increase reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 combination of the businesses of NYSE Group and Euronext. Partially offsetting this increase, (i) U.S. Operations’ software and technology services revenue decreased $33 million primarily as a result of a reduction in the amount of services provided by SIAC to AMEX and DTCC, and (ii) U.S. Operations’ other revenue decreased $19 million as a result of the discontinuation of the specialist trading privilege fee in December 2006 and the overall attrition in population on the NYSE’s trading floor.

Liquidity Payments

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, liquidity payments increased $350 million. European Operations, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 combination of the businesses of NYSE Group and Euronext, accounted for $72 million of liquidity payments. The $278 million increase for U.S. Operations reflected (i) changes in the NYSE’s pricing structure implemented during December 2006, including a fixed monthly specialist rebate, coupled with increased trading volumes in our U.S. cash markets, (ii) the implementation of the option penny pilot program, (iii) the contribution of NYSE Arca for the full nine months ended September 30, 2007, and (iv) increased trading volumes on our U.S. cash markets.

Routing and Clearing

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, routing and clearing fees were $164 million, an increase of $115 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to new and increased amount of routing costs incurred as a result of order flow being routed to other market centers.

Other Operating Expenses

Merger expenses and exit costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext incurred $49 million in merger expenses and exit costs, consisting primarily of accelerated amortization on certain software and other equipment’s useful lives, professional and other fees incurred in connection with the NYSE Group and Euronext combination on April 4, 2007, as well as other exit costs incurred in connection with the integration of the Archipelago businesses.

Compensation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compensation expense increased $78 million, or 18%, reflecting the contribution from European Operations subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, for which there is no comparison for the same period a year ago. Partially offsetting this increase, U.S. Operations compensation decreased as a result of (i) staff reductions including the 427 employees transferred to FINRA on July 30, 2007 and the workforce reduction of more than 500 positions during the fourth quarter of 2006, (ii) a curtailment gain resulting from the elimination of certain post retirement benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, (iii) a charge recorded at the time of the March 2006 merger between NYSE and Archipelago following the immediate vesting of certain restricted stock units and deferred compensation granted to NYSE employees, and (iv) consolidation of benefit plans.

Systems and communications. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, systems and communications expense increased $108 million, or 120%, primarily reflecting the impact of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, along with the impact of other business acquisitions in Europe.

Professional services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, professional services decreased $2 million, or 2%, despite the contribution of European Operations subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext for which there is no comparison for the same period a year ago. More than offsetting this increase, U.S. Operations professional services expense decreased due to reduced legal fees and the achievement of certain integration synergies.

Depreciation and amortization. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, depreciation and amortization increased $78 million, or 79%. European Operations, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext, was the driver for this increase with U.S. Operations adding to it due to the contribution of NYSE Arca for the full nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Occupancy. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, occupancy expense increased $27 million, or 43%, primarily as a result of European Operations, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext.

Marketing and other. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, marketing and other expense increased $55 million, or 76%, primarily from European Operations, reflecting the results of Euronext subsequent to the April 4, 2007 business combination transaction between NYSE Group and Euronext.

Regulatory Fine Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, regulatory fine income decreased $15 million to $19 million. Regulatory fines result from actions taken by NYSE Regulation in its oversight of NYSE and NYSE Arca member organizations and accordingly may vary period over period. Regulatory fine income will decrease in future periods as a result of the creation of FINRA.

Interest expense

Investment income

Gain on Sale of Equity Investment

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext recorded

$34 million of gain on sale of equity investment, primarily in relation to the sale of the member firm regulatory functions of NYSE Regulation to FINRA. During the comparable period a year ago, NYSE Euronext sold its shares of DTCC common stock for a $23 million cash payment and realized a $21 million gain.

Income from Associates

Income from associates reflects NYSE Euronext pro rata share in earnings of equity method investments, including AEMS, MTS (through September 14, 2007) and Powernext.

Other Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, other income of $18 million primarily reflected the receipt of insurance reimbursements, which amount may vary period-over-period.

Minority Interest

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext recorded a $16 million minority interest primarily representing 2.32% of the Euronext N.V. income for the period from April 4 to September 30, 2007, which corresponds to the percentage of voting rights that were not tendered during the initial exchange offer period. During the same period a year ago, NYSE Euronext recorded minority interest until November 1, 2006 when it purchased the one-third ownership stake in SIAC previously held by AMEX.

Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext provided for income taxes at a 33.7% annual effective tax rate which reflects foreign earnings taxed at lower rates. Including a discrete deferred tax benefit of $55 million related to an enacted reduction of the corporate tax rate from 30% to 28% in the United Kingdom, the tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 26.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, NYSE Euronext provided for income taxes at a 40.5% combined federal, state and local tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

NYSE Euronext’s financial policy aims to finance the growth of its business, remunerate shareholders and ensure financial flexibility, while maintaining strong creditworthiness and liquidity. NYSE Euronext’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, current assets and existing bank facilities, and its liquidity requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.

Cash flows from operating activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities equaled $421 million, which primarily included net income of $486 million, depreciation of $194 million and increase of deferred revenue by $108 million, partially offset by $361 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and Section 31 fees payable. Capital expenditures equaled $123 million.

Under the terms of the operating agreement of the New York Stock Exchange, LLC, no regulatory fees, fines or penalties collected by NYSE Regulation may be distributed to NYSE Euronext or any entity other than NYSE Regulation. As a result, the use of regulatory fees, fines and penalties collected by NYSE Regulation may be considered restricted. As of September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext did not have a significant restricted cash balance.

Liquid funds and financial indebtedness

As of September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext had approximately $2.7 billion in debt outstanding, $1.4 billion of liquid funds and $1.3 billion in net indebtedness. Liquid funds are defined as current assets readily convertible into cash (cash and cash equivalents, short term financial investments and securities purchased under agreements to resell) less cash held for payment of Section 31 fees to the SEC.

Liquid funds and net indebtedness are computed as follows (in millions):


	September 30, 2007			December 31, 2006
Cash and cash equivalents	$	728		$	278
Short term financial investments		761			681
Securities purchased under agreements to resell		—			20
Section 31 fees payable		(57	)		(251	)

Liquid Funds		1,432			728
Short term debt	$	2,169		$	—
Long term debt		531			—
Total debt		2,700			—
Net indebtedness		1,268			(728	)

Liquid funds are managed as a global treasury portfolio of cash equivalents and investments into non-speculative financial instruments, readily convertible into cash, such as overnight deposits, term deposits, money market funds, mutual funds for treasury investments, short duration fixed income investments and other money market instruments, thus ensuring high liquidity of financial assets.

NYSE Euronext’s outstanding debt instruments included the following instruments (in millions):


	Principal amount as of September 30, 2007	Maturity
Commercial paper issued under the global commercial paper program	$2,131	From October 1, 2007 until December 21, 2007
Bond in sterling	£250 ($510)	June 16, 2009
Bank loans	€37 ($53)	From June 24, 2009 until February 19, 2012

The £250 million ($510 million) fixed rate bonds were issued in 2004 to refinance the acquisition of LIFFE by Euronext and were swapped to floating rate using a fixed-to-floating rate swap. The bonds mature in June 2009 and do not provide for early redemption.

In April 2007, NYSE Euronext issued dollar and euro commercial paper under a $3.0 billion global commercial paper program in order to refinance a bridge facility used to fund the cash portion of the consideration offered to Euronext shareholders in the combination. The terms of the commercial paper program do not contain any financial covenants or material customary provision that could result in early redemption. On April 4, 2007, NYSE Euronext entered into a $3.0 billion syndicated revolving bank facility primarily used as a backstop for the global commercial paper program. This facility is also available for general corporate purposes and includes a $1.0 billion 364-day tranche maturing on April 4, 2008 and a $2.0 billion 5-year tranche maturing on April 4, 2012.

On August 4, 2006, prior to the combination with NYSE Euronext, Euronext entered into a €300 million ($427 million) revolving credit facility available for general corporate purposes and maturing August 4, 2011. As of September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext therefore had two committed bank credit facilities totaling $3.4 billion, with no amount outstanding under any of these facilities. These credit facilities include terms and conditions customary for agreements of this type, which may restrict NYSE Euronext’s ability to engage in additional transactions or incur additional indebtedness.

Liquidity risk

NYSE Euronext believes that its creditworthiness provides access to a large range of debt products, including bank facilities and publicly and privately issued

long and short term debt. As at September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext’s long term issuer ratings assigned by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s were AA and A1, respectively.

NYSE Euronext believes that existing cash balances and financing arrangements, along with future cash flows from operations, are sufficient to meet the needs of its current operations and its debt obligations for a period of at least twelve months from September 30, 2007. If existing cash balances are insufficient to meet the needs of its current operations, NYSE Euronext intends to seek additional financing. NYSE Euronext may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following provides information about NYSE Euronext’s critical accounting policies and estimates. Critical accounting polices reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially produce materially different results, assumptions and conditions.

Revenue Recognition

There are two types of fees applicable to companies listed on the NYSE, NYSE Arca and Euronext – listing fees and annual fees. Listing fees consist of two components: original listing fees and fees related to other corporate action related. Original listing fees, subject to a minimum and maximum amount, are based on the number of shares that the company initially lists with the NYSE, NYSE Arca, Inc. or Euronext. Original listing fees, however, are not applicable to companies when they list on the NYSE or NYSE Arca, Inc. in the context of a transfer from another market. Other corporate action related fees are paid by listed companies in connection with corporate actions involving the issuance of new shares. Annual fees are recognized on a pro rata basis over the calendar year. Original listing fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated service periods of 10 years for the NYSE and Euronext, and 5 years for NYSE Arca, Inc. Unamortized balances are recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

In addition, GL Trade’s licensing of software is accounted for in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, which involves significant judgment.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

NYSE Euronext reviews the carrying value of goodwill for impairment at least annually based upon estimated fair value of NYSE Euronext’s reporting units. Should the review indicate that goodwill is impaired, NYSE Euronext’s goodwill would be reduced by the difference between the carrying value of goodwill and its fair value.

NYSE Euronext reviews the useful life of its indefinite-lived intangible assets to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life categorization. In addition, the carrying value of NYSE Euronext’s other intangible assets is reviewed by NYSE Euronext on at least an annual basis for impairment based upon the estimated fair value of the asset.

For purposes of performing the impairment test, fair values are determined using discounted cash flow methodology. This requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which, among other factors, is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for businesses, and determination of weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill and other intangible impairment for each reporting unit.

Income Taxes

NYSE Euronext records income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which current and deferred tax liabilities and assets are recorded in accordance with enacted tax laws and rates. Under this method, the amounts of deferred tax liabilities and assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.

Deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated income tax effect of temporary differences between financial and tax bases in assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are also provided for certain tax carryforwards. A valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

NYSE Euronext is subject to numerous tax jurisdictions primarily based on our operations in these jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in NYSE Euronext’s financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could have a material impact on NYSE Euronext’s financial position or results of operations.

Pension and Other Post-Retirement Employee Benefits

Pension and other post-retirement employee benefits costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, health care cost trend rates, benefits earned, interest cost, expected return on assets, mortality rates, and other factors. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense and the recorded obligation in future periods. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect NYSE Euronext’s pension and other post-retirement obligations and future expense.

Hedging Activities

NYSE Euronext uses derivative instruments to limit exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. NYSE Euronext accounts for derivatives pursuant to SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires that all derivatives be recorded at fair value on the statement of financial condition. Changes in the fair value of derivative

financial instruments are either recognized in other comprehensive income or net income depending on whether the derivative is being used to hedge changes in cash flows or changes in fair value.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of the fair value measures on earnings. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the implementation of SFAS 157 will have on our financial statements, if any.

The FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the implementation of SFAS 159 will have on our financial statements, if any.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

General

As a result of its operating and financing activities, NYSE Euronext is exposed to market risks such as interest rate risk, currency risk, credit risk and equity risk. NYSE Euronext has implemented policies and procedures to measure, manage, monitor and report risk exposures, which are regularly reviewed by the appropriate management and supervisory bodies. NYSE Euronext’s central treasury is charged with identifying risk exposures and monitoring and managing such risks on a daily basis. To the extent necessary and permitted by local regulation and necessary, NYSE Euronext’s subsidiaries centralize their cash investments, report their risks and hedge their exposures with the central treasury. NYSE Euronext performs sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have on its business and results of operations.

NYSE Euronext uses derivative instruments solely to hedge financial risks related to its financial positions or risks that are otherwise incurred in the normal course of its commercial activities. It does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Most of NYSE Euronext’s financial assets and liabilities are based on floating rates, on fixed rates with an outstanding maturity or reset date falling in less than 1 year or on fixed rates that have been swapped to floating rates via fixed-to-floating rate swaps. The following table summarizes NYSE Euronext’s exposure to interest rate risk as at September 30, 2007:


	September 30, 2007
(In millions)	Financial assets		Financial liabilities			Net Exposure			Impact (2) of a 100 bp adverse shift in interest rates (3)
Floating rate (1) positions in
dollar	$	369	$	243		$	126		$	(1.3	)
euro		649		1,944			(1,295	)		(13.0	)
sterling		213		513	(4)		(300	)		(3.0	)
Fixed rate positions in
dollar		23		—			23			(0.4	)
euro		—		—			—			—
sterling		—		—			—			—

(1)	Includes floating rate, fixed rate with an outstanding maturity or reset date falling in less than 1 year and fixed rate swapped to floating rate

(2)	Impact on profit and loss for floating rate positions (cash flow risk) and on equity until realization in profit and loss for fixed rate positions (price risk)

(3)	100bp parallel shift of yield curve

(4)	Includes the effect of the fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on the £250 million fixed rate bond

In order to hedge interest rate exposures, NYSE Euronext may enter into

over-the-counter interest rate derivative instruments, such as swaps, with counterparties that meet minimum creditworthiness and rating standards. At September 30, 2007, the only significant outstanding interest rate hedge was a fixed-to-floating rate swap hedging the £250 million ($510 million) fixed rate bond issuance denominated in sterling.

NYSE Euronext is exposed to a cash flow risk on its floating rate positions. Because NYSE Euronext is a net borrower in euro and sterling, when interest rates in euro or sterling increase, the net interest and investment income of NYSE Euronext decreases. Based on September 30, 2007 positions, each 1% increase in euro and sterling rates would negatively impact annual income by $13.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Because NYSE Euronext is a net lender in dollar, when interest rates in dollar decrease, the net interest and investment income of NYSE Euronext decreases. Based on September 30, 2007 positions, each 1% decrease in dollar rates would negatively impact annual income by $1.3 million.

NYSE Euronext is exposed to a price risk on its fixed rate positions held in its investment portfolio. At September 30, 2007, fixed rate positions with an outstanding maturity or reset date falling in more than 1 year amounted to $23 million. A hypothetical shift of 1% of the interest rate curve would in aggregate impact the fair value of these positions by $0.4 million. More generally, the average duration of the $85 million short term financial investments held in fixed income instruments was 0.5 year.

Currency risk

As an international group, NYSE Euronext is subject to currency translation risk. A significant part of NYSE Euronext’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is recorded in euro and sterling. Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are generally denominated in the local functional currency of such subsidiaries.

NYSE Euronext’s exposure to foreign denominated earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is presented by primary foreign currency in the following table:


	Three months ended September 30, 2007
In millions	Euro			Sterling
Average rate in the period	$	1.3751		$	2.0216
Average rate in the same period one year before	$	1.2742		$	1.8752
Foreign denominated percentage of

NYSE Euronext’s exposure to net investment in foreign currencies is presented by primary foreign currencies in the following table (in millions):


	September 30, 2007
	Position in euros			Position in sterling
Assets	€	5,224		£	2,802
of which goodwill		1,361			1,223
Liabilities		2,572			711
of which borrowings		1,368			252

Net currency position		2,652			2,091

Impact on consolidated equity of a 10% decrease in the foreign currency	$	(377	)	$	(426	)

At September 30, 2007, NYSE Euronext was exposed to net exposures in euro and sterling, respectively, for €2.7 billion ($3.8 billion) and £2.1 billion ($4.3 billion). The borrowings in euro and sterling, €1.4 billion ($1.9 billion) and £0.3 billion ($0.5 billion), respectively, constitute partial hedge of NYSE Euronext’s net investments. Based on September 30, 2007 net currency positions, a hypothetical 10% decrease of euro against dollar would negatively impact NYSE Euronext’s equity by $377 million and a hypothetical 10% decrease of sterling against dollar would negatively impact NYSE Euronext’s equity by $426 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, currency exchange rate differences had a positive impact of $394 million on NYSE Euronext’s consolidated equity.

Credit risk

NYSE Euronext is exposed to credit risk in the event of a counterparty default. We limit our exposure to credit risk by rigorously selecting the counterparties with which we make investments and executes agreements. Credit risk is monitored by using exposure limits depending on ratings assigned by rating agencies as well as the nature and maturity of transactions. The investment portfolio objective is to invest in securities to preserve principal while maximizing yields, without significantly increasing risk. Credit risk associated with investments is minimized substantially by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with governments, well-capitalized financial institutions and other credit-worthy counterparties. An ongoing review is performed to evaluate changes in the status of counterparties. In addition to the intrinsic creditworthiness of counterparties, our policies prescribe the diversification of counterparties (banks, financial institutions, bond issuers and funds) so as to avoid a concentration of risk. Derivatives are negotiated with leading high-grade banks.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of NYSE Euronext and its subsidiaries. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. No significant changes were made during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2007 in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the following supplements and amends our discussion set forth under “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of the Form 10-Q filed by NYSE Euronext on August 14, 2007; Part II, Item 1 of the Form 10-Q filed by NYSE Euronext on May 14, 2007; and Part I, Item 3 of the Form 10-K/A filed by NYSE Euronext on May 1, 2007. The disclosures in those filings are incorporated herein by reference, and no other matters were reportable during the period.

In re NYSE Specialists Securities Litigation

On September 18, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (“Second Circuit”) issued an opinion affirming in part, and vacating and remanding in part, the district court’s dismissal of all claims against the NYSE. The Second Circuit agreed with the district court that the NYSE, as a self-regulatory organization, is immune from private lawsuits challenging the manner in which it exercises its regulatory function and therefore affirmed dismissal of all the claims asserting that the NYSE had failed to effectively regulate specialists during the period 1998-2003. The Second Circuit, however, vacated the district court’s holding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to assert that the NYSE made false and misleading statements concerning the regulation and operation of its market, and remanded the matter to the district court for consideration of other grounds for dismissal that the NYSE had asserted in its motion to dismiss, including the plaintiffs’ failure to allege reliance or loss causation. Additional proceedings with respect to the NYSE have not yet been scheduled by the district court.

Grasso Litigation

appeal, in which the Appellate Division dismissed four of the NYAG’s six claims against Mr. Grasso. The May 2007 order had held that the NYAG lacked statutory authority to assert those four claims and had reversed the trial court’s denial of Mr. Grasso’s motion to dismiss.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the following supplements and, to the extent inconsistent therewith, amends our discussion set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of the Form 10-Q filed by NYSE Euronext on August 14, 2007 and Part I, Item 3 of the Form 10-K/A filed by NYSE Euronext on May 1, 2007, which disclosures are incorporated herein by reference. No other matters were reportable during the period.

Globalization, growth, consolidations and other strategic arrangements may impair NYSE Euronext’s competitive position.

The liberalization and globalization of world markets have resulted in greater mobility of capital, greater international participation in local markets and more competition among markets in different geographical areas. As a result, the competition among trading markets and other execution venues has become more intense.

In addition, in the last several years, the structure of the exchange sector has changed significantly through demutualizations and consolidations. In response to increasing competition, many marketplaces in both Europe and the United States have demutualized to provide greater flexibility for future growth. The exchange sector is also experiencing consolidation, creating a more intense competitive environment. For example, in the United States, the CBOT and the CME recently completed a merger and each of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc. and the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc., have also entered into merger agreements with Nasdaq. On June 27, 2007, the shareholders of the International Securities Exchange, Inc. (“ISE”) approved the acquisition of ISE by Eurex, a derivatives exchange jointly owned by Deutsche Börse AG and SWX Swiss Exchange.

On May 25, 2007, Nasdaq and OMX announced that they had entered into an agreement to combine the two companies. On June 23, 2007, the London Stock Exchange and Borsa Italiana announced their intention to merge. It is anticipated that the process of consolidation in the European exchange sector will continue.

Because of these market trends, NYSE Euronext faces intense competition. If it is unable to compete successfully in this environment, its business, financial condition and operating results will be adversely affected.

Our share of trading in NYSE-listed securities has declined.

As a result of increasing competition, our share of trading on a matched basis in NYSE-listed securities has declined from approximately 70.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, to 59.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. If growth in our overall trading volume of NYSE-listed

securities does not offset any significant decline in our share of NYSE-listed trading, or if a decline in our share of trading in NYSE-listed securities makes the NYSE’s market appear less liquid, then our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

In addition, the allocation of market data revenues under the Regulation NMS formula, while complex, is largely tied to market share performance. A decline in NYSE market share lowers the percentage of the National Market Systems tape pool revenues (CTA and UTP) that the NYSE keeps. Furthermore, we recently completed the rollout of the NYSE Hybrid Market^SM, which integrates into one platform aspects of both the physically convened auction market and automated electronic execution. The NYSE Hybrid Market^SM is operating as expected, although additional modifications may be required in future to ensure that the NYSE remains competitive.

Regulatory changes or future court rulings may have an adverse impact on our market data fees.

Market data fees are one of our significant sources of revenues. Regulatory developments, however, could reduce the amount of revenue that we can obtain from this source. The ability to assess fees for market data products is contingent upon receiving approval from the SEC. There continues to be opposing industry viewpoints as to the extent that NYSE Group should be able to charge for market data, and it is conceivable that the SEC may broaden its examination of exchange market data fees. If such an examination is conducted, and the results are detrimental to the NYSE’s ability to charge for market data, there could be a negative impact on our revenues. In addition, in November 2004, the SEC proposed corporate governance, transparency, oversight and ownership rules for registered national securities exchanges and other self-regulatory organizations (“SROs”) and issued a concept release examining the efficacy of self-regulation. The concept release also solicited public comment concerning the level of market data fees, following several years of claims from some competitors and data intermediaries that market data fees and revenues are excessive. We cannot predict whether, or in what form, any regulatory changes will take effect, or their impact on our business. A determination by the SEC, for example, to link market data fees to marginal costs, to take a more active role in the market data rate-setting process, or to reduce the current levels of market data fees could have a material adverse effect on our market data revenues.

In addition, the approach to fees reflected in MiFID, effective in November 2007, which explicitly authorizes market operators to sell trade information on a non-discriminatory commercial basis at a reasonable cost, could be modified by the European Commission or future European court decisions in a manner that may have an adverse impact on NYSE Euronext’s market data fees.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Consistent with customary practice in the French securities market, on April 19, 2007, NYSE Euronext entered into a liquidity agreement (contrat de liquidite) (the “Agreement”) with SG Securities (Paris) SAS (“SG”). The Agreement complies with applicable laws and regulations in France, including the ethical charter of the AFEI (the French Association of Investment Firms), as approved by the Autorité des Marches Financiers (the French securities regulator known as “AMF”). The Agreement authorizes SG to carry out market purchases and sales of NYSE Euronext common stock on Euronext Paris (the “Market”) in France for the account of NYSE Euronext in order to promote the liquidity and the orderly listing of such securities on the Market. Under the Agreement, NYSE Euronext deposited €40 million into a liquidity account with SG to be used by SG in its discretion to purchase and sell shares of NYSE Euronext common stock on the Market. Proceeds of sales are deposited into the liquidity account. The Agreement has a term of 12 months and will renew automatically unless otherwise terminated by either party. The Agreement is consistent with the liquidity agreement maintained by Euronext, N.V. (now a subsidiary of NYSE Euronext) with respect to its securities.

Under the Agreement and consistent with applicable laws in France, SG exercises full and complete discretion in making any decision to purchase or sell NYSE Euronext common stock on the Market, and no discretion is retained by NYSE Euronext. In order to reinforce SG’s independence in performing its obligations under the Agreement, information barriers have been established between persons effecting transactions and persons with inside information.

All transactions under the Agreement will be executed offshore (outside the United States) and, except for block transactions, only through the Market’s electronic trading system. SG may also undertake block transactions under the Agreement, provided such transactions are made in accordance with the rules governing the Market.

In performing its obligations under the Agreement, SG has agreed to comply with the guidelines and regulations of the AMF, the anti-manipulation and related provisions applicable in France, and the anti-fraud and anti-manipulation provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Sales under the Agreement have been made in offshore transactions exempt from registration.

Sales and purchases of NYSE Euronext common stock may be suspended if NYSE Euronext becomes subject to legal, regulatory or contractual restrictions that would prevent SG from making purchases and sales under the Agreement.

The following transactions were carried out by SG on the market under the Agreement during the period from July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007:
