Revenue rose 14% to $172.2m primarily due to increased trading activities in the securities market.

Adjusted return on equity was 11.3% and the earnings per share was 7.66 cents.

SGX directors have declared an interim dividend of four cents per share for second quarter of financial year 2011.

SGX CEO Magnus Bocker said SGX saw growth across all its businesses which contributed to the strongest quarter in over a year.

"We will continue to grow our membership base and launch new products and services. We are on track to roll out the Reach initiative, starting with the launch of co-location services for our members and customers in the new data centre in fourth quarter of financial year 2011 and SGX Reach (new securities trading engine) in later 2011," Bocker said.
