Euronext said bottom-line net profit grew 14.1%

European stock market operator Euronext said Wednesday that cost-cutting enabled it to lift profits last year despite market volatility triggered by Brexit and the US elections.

Euronext, which operates the Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon stock exchanges, said in a statement that bottom-line net profit grew by 14.1 percent to 197 million euros ($208 million) in 2016, despite a 4.3-percent drop in revenues to 496.4 million euros.

Investor confidence had taken a knock from political uncertainty and volatility related to Britain's shock decision to quit the European Union and the election of Donald Trump as US president, Euronext said. 

Nevertheless, belt-tightening helped offset the decline in revenues.

"In a year marked by lower volumes on our markets that induced... a 4.3-percent decrease in revenue, we have managed to maintain" stable underlying or operating profit, the company explained. 

"Our cost base has been significantly reduced. As a result, our profitability... increased significantly."

In view of the rise in profits, Euronext said it would increase its dividend to shareholders by 14.5 percent to 1.42 euros per share. 

"These results demonstrate Euronext's continuous capability to service our shareholders and customers, and to deliver value against a tough trading environment," the statement said.

Looking ahead, "2017 will be a critical year for our industry landscape," said chief executive Stephane Boujnah. 

Euronext rivals, the stock exchanges of London and Frankfurt, are currently negotiating a merger to create a financial markets behemoth competing with the likes of the Chicago exchange and ICE in the United States, as well as the Hong Kong stock exchange in Asia.
