Interim Management Statement
IG Group today issues the following Interim Management Statement for the period from 1 June 2014 to 16 September 2014. Unless otherwise stated, trends and figures highlighted below refer to the three months ended 31 August 2014 - the first quarter of the company's 2015 financial year - and the corresponding period last year.

Revenue in the first quarter was £85.6 million, 9% behind the same period in the prior year. The first three months of the company's year were particularly quiet in the financial markets, with volumes and volatility close to historic lows and the continuation of recent weakness in forex activity. The majority of the year-on-year difference occurred in June, which was unusually strong in the prior year.

Revenue was behind in all of the geographic regions, as the extremely quiet backdrop impacted performance. In the UK the 8% drop in active client numbers was partially offset by an increase in average revenue per client. In Australia revenue was 10% down on the prior year period, although flat against the fourth quarter of last year. In Europe, even with the relatively quiet market backdrop, active client numbers grew by 9%; however, this was more than offset by the fall in average revenue per client. In Rest of World, the continuation of weakness in the forex markets impacted Japan and Singapore, where revenue was down by around 30%; this was partially offset by strong year-on-year growth in South Africa.

In mid-September, IG launched its stockbroking offering in the UK and Ireland with a broad range of UK, US, German, Dutch and Irish equities, Exchange Traded Funds and a tax-free ISA account. Although this may take some time to build, it has a number of significant advantages against other offerings and is a major strategic development for IG. Also in September, the Swiss regulator issued the licence for IG's new sales office in Geneva and the company expects to begin trading there in the very near future.

Looking forward
The company will progress several initiatives through this year, as part of its long-term diversification strategy, with the aim being to make IG the default choice for active traders globally. It will continue to develop the stockbroking offering, including adding the ability for clients to use their equity assets as collateral against shorter-term leveraged trading, and commencing a targeted international roll-out. IG will also progress its licence application in Dubai. The company is also applying significant effort to enhancing and maximising its mobile offering across the globe and to developing and refining its web presence. By successfully executing on these initiatives the company believes it can deliver the next phase of its growth.

Today there will be a conference call for analysts and investors at 8.30am (UK time). The call can be accessed by dialling +44 20 3059 8125. A replay of the conference call will be available for a week after the event by dialling +44 121 260 4861 and using passcode 4913485#, and it will be archived for access at www.iggroup.com/investors.

The next planned performance announcement from IG is the H1 pre-close trading update, currently scheduled for 25 November 2014.

Doing me well at the mo:

25 November 2014

IG GROUP HOLDINGS PLC
Pre Close Trading Update



IG Group, a global leader in online trading, today issues the following Trading Update for the second quarter of the financial year ending 31 May 2015, ahead of entering its close period on 1 December 2014.



In contrast to the subdued first quarter of this year, client activity levels increased significantly in the second quarter, particularly in October, as the financial markets presented considerably more trading opportunities. The company performed very well over this period and will achieve quarterly revenue ahead of its previous highest quarter at the end of the 2013 year. This will place IG in a robust position as it enters the second half of the financial year.

Today management will be available on a conference call for institutional investors and analysts at 8.30am (UK time). The call can be accessed by dialling +44 (0)20 3059 8125. A replay of the conference call will be available for a period of seven days after the event by dialling +44 (0)121 260 4861 and using the confirmation code 5781076#, and it will be archived for access at www.iggroup.com.

IG Group Holdings has issued a statement on the exceptional announcement by the Swiss National Bank, which resulted in a sudden and extreme movement in the value of the Swiss franc.

IG says the precise level of the impact will be partially dependent on the company's ability to recover client debts, but in total it will not exceed £30m, from market and credit exposure.

The market exposure occurred where client positions were closed at a more beneficial level than the company was able to close its entire corresponding hedge due to the market dislocation.

This occurs against the backdrop of very strong recent and current performance and IG's extremely robust financial position.

As scheduled, on 20 January, IG will present its results for the first six months of the 2015 year, and will provide an update on progress on its strategic initiatives.
