INTERACTIVE BROKERS GROUP ANNOUNCES 2Q2011 RESULTS REPORTS INCOME BEFORE TAXES OF $149 MILLION ON $297 MILLION IN NET

T REVENUES, EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.22 AND EARNINGS PER SHARE ON COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OF $0.31. GREENWICH, CONN, July 21, 2011 Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: IBKR) an automated global electronic broker and market maker, today reported diluted earnings per share of $0.22 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.09 for the same period in 2010. On a comprehensive basis, which includes the full effect of currency translation, the Company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.31 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.004 for the same period in 2010. Reported results on a comprehensive basis reflect the new GAAP convention that requires the reporting of currency translation results contained in Other Comprehensive Income as part of reportable earnings. Previously, these were reported as a component of changes in Total Equity in the Statement of Financial Condition. Net revenues were $297 million and income before income taxes was $149 million for this quarter, compared to net revenues of $226 million and income before income taxes of $72 million for the same period in 2010.

Business Highlights 50% pretax profit margin for this quarter. 52% Electronic Brokerage pretax margin for this quarter. 47% Market Making pretax profit margin for this quarter. Customer equity increased 57% from the year-ago quarter to $25.7 billion and customer accounts increased 21%. Cleared DARTs decreased 2% from the year-ago quarter to 378,000. Electronic Brokerage pretax income increased 23% from the year-ago quarter. Market Making pretax income increased to $59 million from $4 million in the year-ago quarter.

"This quarter we have realized our goal of becoming the largest electronic broker as measured by DARTs," said Thomas Peterffy, our CEO. We are looking forward to solidifying this position and continuing to reveal new and innovative services in the coming months."

Segment Overview Electronic Brokerage Electronic Brokerage segment income before income taxes grew 23% in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Commissions and execution fees were level with those of the yearago quarter. Net interest income increased 109% from the same period. Customer accounts grew 21% to 176,000 and customer equity grew 57% to $25.7 billion. Pretax profit margin increased from 50% to 52% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010. Total DARTs(1) for cleared and execution-only customers decreased 3%, to 408,000 from the year-ago quarter. Cleared DARTs were 378,000 in this quarter, 2% lower than the same period last year.

Market Making Market Making segment income before income taxes increased from $4 to $59 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010. This increase is partly a reflection of currency translation effects, which negatively impacted the year-ago quarters earnings, and are reported in the results of the Market Making segment. Pretax profit margin expanded to 47% in this quarter from 5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The environment for market makers exhibited wider options bid/offer spreads in the U.S., declining trading volume and lower actual-to-implied volatility ratios. Market Making options contract and futures volume decreased by 20% and 19%, respectively, from the year-ago quarter.

Effects of Foreign Currency Diversification In connection with our currency hedging strategy, we have determined to base our net worth in GLOBALs, a basket of major currencies in which we hold our equity. In this quarter, our currency hedging program contributed to our profits as the U.S. dollar value of the GLOBAL increased by approximately 1.2%. The effects of currency hedging are reported as components of (1) Market Making Trading Gains and (2) Other Comprehensive Income, described below.

Comprehensive Income Reported results on a comprehensive basis reflect the Companys early adoption of newly issued U.S. GAAP guidance(2) that requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income, replacing the former Statement of Income. The Statement of Comprehensive Income reports currency translation results that are a component of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) directly in this statement. Previously, OCI was reported as a component of changes in Total Equity in the Statement of Financial Condition. In prior periods we reported non-GAAP measures for the purpose of incorporating all currency translation gains and losses in the Statement of Income. This reporting method is now required under GAAP guidance.

** In Brazil, an equity option contract typically represents 1 share of the underlying stock; however, the typical minimum trading quantity is 100 contracts. To make a fair comparison to volume at other exchanges, we have adopted a policy of reporting Brazilian equity options contracts divided by their trading quantity of 100.
