TSX Group Inc. today reported an increase in third-quarter profit, as revenue rose in its issuer services, trading and market data businesses.

The operator of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange said net income was $42.7 million, or 62¢ a share, in the three months ended Sept. 30. That’s up from $33.2 million, or 48¢ a share, in the same 2006 period.

TSX Group said revenue surged to $106.1 million from $81.2 million, an increase of 31%.

The volume traded on TSX Group’s two stock exchanges rose 43% over the third quarter of 2006, it said.

The company also said it will change its listing fees effective Jan. 1 for both the TSX and its junior Venture market, after “a review of listing fees on other major global exchanges”.

“Based on recent market activity, it is anticipated that total issuer services revenue reported would have increased by about 1% to 3% and total issuer services fees billed would have increased by about 6% to 8% on an annual basis as a result of these changes,” TSX Group said in a news release.

Commenting on TSX Group’s financial results, Michael Ptasznik, CFO, said “In the third quarter of 2007, we saw strong revenue growth in issuer services, trading and market data over the corresponding period in 2006. The increases came both from underlying market and sales activity as well as from the recent acquisitions in the areas of energy, fixed income and investor relations services.”
