Third quarter 2009 results

Imarex ASA reports a result of NOK 20.2 million for the third quarter 2009. Operationally Imarex’ largest business segment OTC as well as the Market Services segment continued its solid development, while Exchange and Clearing still were affected by slow freight markets but also seasonal low activity. Despite a mixed market situation, the quarterly result is the second best in the Company’s history, mainly due to financial income. Into Q4 market conditions have improved also for Exchange and Clearing, however the outlook is still uncertain. Overall Imarex remains well positioned operationally and financially to further strengthen its leading positions.
