Deutsche Börse Sees Dip in Q3 Revenue, FX Demand Growing in 2020
- FX OTC platform 360T generated €24.2 million in net revenue in Q3 2020.

Deutsche Börse Group, a major German market organizer, has published its financial results for the third quarter of 2020, showing a drop in its revenue and profits as well.
Between July and the end of September, the net revenue of the German Group came in at €707.5 million, a decline of 4 percent from the previous year. The figure also dropped quarter-on-quarter as the Group’s net revenue reached €778 million in Q2 of 2020.
The Group pointed out a ‘significant cyclical headwind’ behind this drop in its business.
However, the adjusted operating costs of the holding company saw a yearly increase of 5 percent to €288 million, boosted by the consolidation effects.
All these contributed to a drop in the net profits of the Group for the quarter. The net profit went down by 8 percent to €235.8 million. Comparing the first nine months’ figures combined, the net profits increased by 9 percent compared to last year.
EBITDA for the latest quarter also declined by 4 percent to €399.5 million, while on an adjusted basis, the yearly drop deepens to 7 percent to €431.4 million.
