To our shareholders
In 2012, NASDAQ OMX demonstrated the
strength of its business model and the
innovative spirit of its employees .
Despite the challenges we faced, we
continued to execute our mission of
improving the value we deliver to our
clients and the attractive returns we
generate for our shareholders .
In my view, history will judge 2012 to
be an inflection point in our markets,
our business, and the future of NASDAQ
OMX . Our long-term vision of building
a diversified portfolio of businesses,
combined with sound expense control
and a strong capital position, has not
only been a sensible approach, but a
key differentiator for our organization .
History will judge 2012 to be an
inflection point in our markets,
our business and the future of
NASDAQ OMX .
The successful execution of our
business plan has allowed for an
independent and thoughtful approach
to the future, and has strengthened
our long-term competitive position—
which is stronger than ever . In fact, in
2012, our relative revenue and earnings
position outperformed the majority in our
peer group .
our evoluTion – from u .s . equiTy
exChange To a diversified
PorTfolio of gloBal Businesses
Although historically we have been
predominately known as a U .S . equities
exchange, NASDAQ OMX continued on its
path of becoming much more than that .
We are transforming into a technology
services and transaction company,
dedicated to helping customers
worldwide improve their productivity
and manage risks more effectively . We
have strategically redefined who we are
over the past several years through a
combination of new product and service
launches and bolt-in acquisitions .
Our strategy is working . We are
building the foundation for growth
and outperformance regardless of the
economic, business, or volume cycles .
A core objective of ours is to become
one of the top business, technology,
and information services providers in
the world .
We ended the year with solid financial
and operating results, and began 2013
cautiously optimistic that, for the first
time since 2007, many global markets
in which we operate are beginning
to show signs of improving . While we
are pleased with our results in 2012,
by no means are we complacent .
The management team and Board of
Directors believe the full earnings power
of this franchise has yet to be realized .
In 2012, we generated nearly $600
million in cash flow from operations,
and returned $275 million to
shareholders through repurchase of
11 .5 million shares at an average price
of $23 .82 and $65 million through cash
dividends . In the past three years, we
repurchased 53 .4 million shares at an
average price of $21 .97, returning a
total of $1 .2 billion to shareholders .
In 2012, we generated nearly
In cash flow from operatIons, and returned
To shareholders Through rePurChases
of 11 .5 million shares aT an average
PriCe of $23 .82 and
$65
million
through cash
dIvIdends.
Perhaps even more noteworthy was the
fact that we were able to maintain roughly
the same level of net revenues while
significantly diversifying our franchise .
Our businesses providing recurring and
subscription-based revenues contributed
to 71 percent of our net revenues in 2012,
substantially above the comparative level
of 55 percent in 2007 . Over the same period,
global equity volumes witnessed a 30 to 40
percent decline .
In addition, our efforts to provide public
and private companies with the tools
and resources they require to effectively
manage their constituents have resonated
throughout the marketplace . The unique
value proposition that NASDAQ OMX
offers was evidenced by several
high-profile listing wins and switches,
including: Texas Instruments, Kraft
Foods, and more recently, Goodyear .
We will continue to stand out and
attract new firms to our market
because of the unique and compelling
value that we offer .
That said, we love our transaction
businesses . They are the largest
contributor of net revenues and earnings
to our consolidated business . Bringing
buyers and sellers together in an open
and transparent environment has always
been in our DNA, and remains a thriving
center of technology excellence and
innovation at NASDAQ OMX .
Today, NASDAQ OMX operates 26
markets, 3 clearing houses, and 5
central depositories . The U .S . and Nordic
exchanges are solid businesses in which
we continue to achieve greater scale
efficiencies and diversify into a variety
of asset classes, such as with NASDAQ
OMX BX Options, our newest options
exchange . Our Helsinki exchange marked
its 100th year of operation in 2012, and
our Stockholm exchange celebrated 150
years of service in early 2013 .
Yet we never stop looking for new and
better ways to serve our customers and
pursue growth opportunities across
different sectors that complement
our portfolio of products and services .
For example, we continue to bring to
market innovative data products, such
as NASDAQ Basic and TotalView, and
market systems software and services
based on Genium INET for our customers
to power their businesses throughout

the world . We have also introduced a suite
of solutions that covers the entire trading
lifecycle for our members .
enhanCing our ClienT offering,
delivering reTurns To
shareholders
Acquisitions, both those completed
and those set in motion in 2012, were
analyzed through a rigorous set of
financial disciplines, which allowed us to
provide value for our clients as well as our
shareholders . Without a doubt, this core
discipline also contributed to the resiliency
of our model . For NASDAQ OMX, a prospective
acquisition must be strategically
significant, accretive to shareholders
within a year (excluding transaction costs),
and deliver an adequate return on capital .
Applying those filters, we invested $320
million net of dispositions over the past
five years to acquire a variety of assets,
including the index business of Mergent, a
majority interest in BWise, NOS Clearing, the
business of RapiData, Glide Technologies,
FTEN, and SMARTS .
Late last year, we also announced an
agreement to acquire Thomson Reuters’
Investor Relations, Public Relations, and
Multimedia Solutions businesses . We have
long admired Thomson Reuters’ model in
providing these services to many of our
listed companies . Through this acquisition,
we plan to accelerate our strategy and
create one of the premier suites of
products and services for public and private
companies in our industry . We will bring the
assets, talents, and technology together
to continue to deliver a powerful suite of
services to roughly 10,000 clients in more
than 60 countries . The acquisition is subject
to customary regulatory approvals and is
expected to close in the first half of 2013 .
Once the transaction closes, we plan to
integrate these complementary businesses
into NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions, a step
that will create a global corporate services
portfolio, with a unique and comprehensive
offering for our corporate clients .
We anticipate that these acquisitions,
along with ongoing capital deployment
efforts, will yield substantial client and
shareholder value in the years ahead .
However, it is imperative to be flexible
and opportunistic in responding to rapidly
changing markets, and to continually evolve
our organization to address the needs of our
diverse client base .
4
To this end, in January 2013, we brought
together our Market Technology and
Corporate Solutions businesses to
establish a new technology and software
segment, Global Technology Solutions .
The transaction with Thomson Reuters
was one of the catalysts for this change .
Global Technology Solutions will compete
with a more comprehensive and strategic
rationale and with a new profile similar
to companies such as ACI Worldwide,
Fidessa, Fiserv, and Fidelity National
Information Services . We anticipate that
our software and services will continue to
be the preferred solutions for customers
across many different businesses,
industries, and regions .
our sTraTegiC foCus
+ New organic growth opportunities
+ Enhance our client offering
+ The ability to adapt and transform
ourselves in new and
innovative ways
In January 2013, we also combined our
Global Data Products and Global Index
Group into a new segment known as
Global Information Services . These areas
share healthy margins and experienced
rising revenues last year . They are rooted
in technology and the distribution of
data—things we do exceptionally well .
We have been creating innovative and
transparent indexes since 1971 . Today
there are more than 7,000 structured
products based on NASDAQ OMX indexes,
spanning different geographies and
asset classes with nearly $1 trillion in
notional value . As a result of this move,
Global Information Services now has a
profile similar to companies such as MSCI,
McGraw Hill, and Factset, and contributes
about 24 percent of NASDAQ OMX’s net
annual revenues .
seTTing a new sTandard of
exCellenCe
In 2012, the transformation we embarked
on as a company clearly allowed us
to deliver sound results in the face of
adversity . In many respects, however,
that journey is only beginning . Our
mission and focus will remain on driving
new organic growth opportunities and
adjacent opportunities that enhance our
client offering .
Although our focus is primarily on
delivering value to our clients and
shareholders, we also recognize the
critical role we play in a larger ecosystem .
From the capital raising process,
where emerging companies access the
necessary resources that spur growth, to
helping those same companies generate
their own shareholder value, by more
efficiently and effectively managing their
constituents around the globe, to helping
markets run more efficiently—we interact
with the larger economic, business, and
financial systems in many ways . To this
end, we also partner with governments,
industry leaders, and regulators to help
forge new solutions for issues central to
our markets and economies .
In 2012, NASDAQ OMX was an advocate
for companies and investors on several
key issues including market structure,
federal fiscal reform, and immigration .
We are proud to be central to the
economy and the issues that drive global
competitiveness .
As the global economy continues to
recover, and because of the resiliency
we exhibited as a company, NASDAQ
OMX is well-positioned for the future .
Our aggressive steps in meeting
our cost, revenue, and technology
objectives over the past three years
should enable us to benefit from these
improving economic conditions .
For NASDAQ OMX, resiliency has always
been about more than bouncing back
from adversity, but also possessing the
ability to adapt to and transform itself
in new and innovative ways . It is with
this in mind that we will strive to create
even greater value for our customers
and shareholders while continuing
to make lasting contributions to our
employees, listed companies, and the
global community at large .

NASDAQ OMX became the first North American stock exchange accepted into the UN Global Compact committing to 10 universal principles in the
areas of human rights, labor, environmental responsibility, and anti-corruption . Our company joins the ranks of fellow NASDAQ-listed UN Global
Compact signatories, including Intel, Microsoft, Starbucks, and Cisco .
