Sean M. O’Connor, CEO of INTL FCStone Inc, stated:
The return of volatility in some of our markets combined with higher short term interest rates created a favorable operating environment for us, resulting in both record operating revenues and net income, with an annualized ROE of nearly 20%. All of our segments increased profitability over the prior year led by record performance in both our Commercial Hedging and CES segments, up 48% and 61%, respectively, versus the prior year quarter.
We believe our year to date core earnings validate our goals of expanding our clearing and execution platform across nearly all markets and asset classes while focusing on growing our customer base.
