Van der Moolen (NYSE:VDM) (Amsterdam:VDMN):
Total revenues increased with 9% compared to 4th
quarter 2006 to € 40.2 mln in the 1st
quarter of 2007. US Q1 revenues decreased 56% to €
7,4 mln compared to € 16,8 mln in Q4.
European trading revenues increased 71% to €
32,8 mln in Q1 2007 from € 19,2 mln in Q4.
US revenues declined sharply in the first quarter, mainly due to the
full implementation of NYSE Hybrid, decline of NYSE market share and
specialist participation rate. We expect no significant change in
revenue for our US business during the 2nd
quarter.
European trading entities showed a strong revenue growth and exceeded
expectation. The strong growth in the European operations was triggered
by diversification of financial products we trade as well as excellent
trading conditions, both in terms of volume and volatility throughout
all European markets we operate in.
Richard den Drijver, CEO of Van der Moolen Holding N.V. says: “Our
European operations perform strongly, US operations remain challenging.
As reported before, we are reconsidering our business focus in the US.
Q1 developments confirm that fundamental changes in our US operations
are necessary, a process that I will personally manage from our VDM
Headquarters in New York."
Van der Moolen N.V. will release its full Q1 results at May 16.
