Top line grew 8.3% year-over-year, reflecting higher volumes in derivatives and equities combined with increased revenues from other services not related to volumes

Operating income increased 20.9%; while growth in the net income was 21.4%

São Paulo, Brazil, May 12, 2016 - BM&FBOVESPA S.A. (ticker: BVMF3) today reported its first-quarter earnings for the period ending on March 31, 2016. In the year-over-year comparison, top line growth resulted from better volumes in both derivatives and equities, combined with higher revenues from other business not related to volumes.

BM&FBOVESPA reaffirms its previously announced 2016 budget ranges: (i) adjusted1 expenses (OPEX) from R$640 million to R$670 million; and (ii) capital expenditures (CAPEX) from R$200 million to R$230 million.

Highlights of the 1Q16 results:

Revenues from the BM&F Segment grew 10.7% year-over-year. Average daily volume (ADV) increased 13.6% and average revenue per contract (RPC) grew 1.5% in comparison with 1Q15;

Revenues from the Bovespa Segment were 2.8% higher than in 1Q15, resulting from higher turnover velocity;

Other revenues not tied to volumes grew 14.1% compared to 1Q15, mainly reflecting adjustments to commercial policies;

Adjusted expenses in 1Q16 reached R$144.3 million, a 4.1% increase over 1Q15; and R$169.7 million in interest on capital, totaling 50% of 1Q16 IFRS net income.

Chief Executive Officer of BM&FBOVESPA, Edemir Pinto, said: "Over the past few months we have moved forward in the execution of our long-term strategic plan of pursuing growth opportunities and creating value for our shareholders. We announced the successful conclusion of negotiations between the Boards of Directors of BM&FBOVESPA and Cetip for the combination of both Companies. This transformational transaction establishes an unparalleled milestone in the development of the Brazilian financial and capital markets, creating a unique and state-of-the-art market infrastructure company that will further enhance the security, efficiency and robustness of the Brazilian capital market. Now, we are focused on obtaining shareholders' approval on May 20 and then regulatory approvals. We also are moving forward with the second phase of our clearinghouse integration, which will now bring the equities post-trading activities into the integrated clearinghouse, reducing collateral requirements for markets participants, without increasing risk."

Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer, Daniel Sonder, commented: "The increase in volumes at the end of the quarter, coupled with higher revenues not tied to volumes resulted in strong operational figures and double-digit operating income growth compared to 1Q15. At the beginning of Apr'16, we announced the sale of the remaining equity stake held in the CME Group, in order to raise proceeds to fund the proposed business combination with Cetip. This sale should not affect our strategic partnership with CME Group and we will continue to seek new business and technological opportunities together. We are confident that the combination with Cetip will further enhance our ability to generate strong cash flows in various businesses and across the economic and market cycles; and pleased that the Company will be able to fund such a significant transaction with a balanced combination of sale of assets (CME), a moderate amount of new debt, and BVMF3 shares issued to CETIP shareholders."

Market data (vendors): revenues from market data sales of R$27.3 million accounted for 4.4% of total revenues and were 43.8% higher year-over-year, explained by: (i) the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar, since 65.1% of this revenues line is denominated in US Dollars; and (ii) the new commercial policy implemented in Jul'15.

Personnel: totaled R$106.3 million in 1Q16, a decrease of 16.2% year-over-year, due to a non-recurring expense in 1Q15 of R$25.0 million related to the migration of the Company's long-term incentive plans mentioned earlier.

Data processing: totaled R$35.9 million, a 24.3% increase compared to 1Q15, mainly due to: (i) higher maintenance expenses connected to the new Data Center; (ii) hiring of outsourced personnel; and (iii) IT maintenance contracts adjustments to the exchange rate and inflation.

Others: totaled R$16.4 million, a 6.6% decrease year-over-year, due to lower amount of provision expenses.

OTHER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Cash and cash equivalents: short and long-term cash, cash equivalents and financial investments as of March 31, 2016 amounted to R$5,660.44 million. Of this, R$1,356.8 million was related to third-party cash collateral pledged to the Company's clearinghouses and R$1,009.3 million consisted of restricted financial resources tied to the clearinghouses' safeguard structure. Unrestricted available cash at the end of the quarter totaled R$2,649.8 million (including proceeds from the sale of 20% of the shares held in CME Group in Sep'15).

Indebtedness: at the end of 1Q16, the Company had R$2,222.2 million in gross debt outstanding (including principal and accrued interest), composed of US$612.0 million senior unsecured notes issued in Jul'10 (2020 Notes). This debt fell by 9.5% from December 31, 2015, as a consequence of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real versus the US Dollar. Starting from the end of Mar'16, the principal amount of the 2020 Notes has been hedged for FX risk (see details below).

Financial Results: financial results reached R$160.5 million in 1Q16, 160.7% above the previous year's first quarter. The 111.1% increase in financial income, to R$229.5 million in 1Q16, was mainly explained by: (i) higher average interest rates over a higher average financial investments balance, which includes the proceeds from the sale of 20% of the shares held in CME Group in Sep'15; (ii) R$32.2 million related to dividends received from the CME Group, which started to be accounted as financial income after the discontinuity of the equity method in 3Q15; and (iii) the positive impact of R$34.1 million, with no cash impact, related to changes in the BRL vs USD exchange rate between March 29 and 31, 2016, on the 2020 Notes (see details below). On the other hand, financial expenses were 46.3% higher in the period, mainly due to the Brazilian Real's depreciation against the US Dollar, which affected the interest on the 2020 Notes.

Financial Instrument for hedge:

At the end of 1Q16 BM&FBOVESPA entered into financial derivatives transactions to hedge the CME Group stake and the 2020 Notes from changes in the BRL vs USD exchange rate5.

Cash Flow Hedge for CME Group shares (using non-deliverable forwards - NDFs): short position in NDFs in the amount of US$1,262 million to hedge the investment in CME Group shares from changes in the BRL vs USD exchange rate.

Fair Value Hedge for the principal amount of the 2020 Notes (swap): long position in US Dollar and short position in local interest rates (liabilities equivalent to 79.1% of CDI), in the amount of US$612 million, to hedge the principal amount only of the 2020 Notes from changes in the BRL vs USD exchange rate. The coupon payments (aproximately US$40 million per year) remain exposed to changes in the BRL vs USD exchange rate.

The transactions were entered into simultaneously in multiple transactions between March 29 and 31, 2016, resulting in a unhedged position on part of the principal amount of 2020 Notes during this short period. Consequently, the changes in the BRL vs USD exchange rate of the unhedged position on part of the principal amount during those three days created a positive impact of R$34.1 million in the financial revenue line, with no cash impact. Taking into account that starting from April 1, 2016, the swap value completely covers the

4 Does not include the amount related to the shares of CME Group, Bolsa Mexicana de Valores and Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago owned by BM&FBOVESPA, which are treated as a financial investment and amounted to R$4,837.0 million at the end of Mar'16.

5 Between September 14, 2015 and March 29, 2016, the Company adopted a hedge accounting of cash flow between the investment in CME Group and the senior unsecured notes issued abroad.

2020 Notes total principal amount, the Company expects that there will be no further impacts from the changes in the BRL vs USD exchange on the 2020 Notes' principal amount.

Income tax and social contributions: totaled R$182.5 million in 1Q16. Current taxes and social contribution totaled R$13.3 million, consisting of R$11.0 million in tax provisions from CME Group dividends and R$2.3 million in taxes paid by the BM&FBOVESPA Settlement Bank, with cash impact. Deferred taxes reached R$169.2 million, with no cash impact, composed of R$135.3 million related to temporary differences from the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes in 1Q16 and by deferred taxes amounting R$33.9 million, of which R$11.5 million connected to changes in the BRL vs USD exchange rate on the unhedged part of the 2020 Notes (34% of the R$34.1 million mentioned above).

Net income: (attributable to shareholders) was R$339.3 million, an increase of 21.4% year-over-year, reflecting a combination of higher operating income and financial results.

CAPEX: capital expenditures totaled R$60.9 million in 1Q16, of which R$60.3 million invested in technology and infrastructure, particularly in the equity phase of the new integrated BM&FBOVESPA Clearinghouse. The 2016 CAPEX budget ranges from R$200 million to R$230 million.

Dividends / Interest on Capital: on May 12, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved the distribution of R$169.7 million in interest on capital to be paid on June 6, 2016, based on the shareholders' position dated May 23, 2016, totaling 50% of IFRS net income in 1Q16.

PERFORMANCE BY SEGMENT

BM&F Segment: ADV for the derivatives market reached 3.1 million contracts in 1Q16, up 13.6% compared to 1Q15. This increase was driven by 82.7% growth in the volumes of Mini contracts, especially in Mini FX, and by a 6.9% increase in the volumes of Interest Rate in BRL contracts, the most traded in the segment, representing 47.4% of the total.

Average RPC reached R$1.495 in 1Q16, up 1.5% over 1Q15. The rise in RPC of FX Rates, Interest Rates in USD and Mini FX Rates contracts, which are denominated in US Dollar6, was partially offset by the combination of: (i) higher participation of Mini contracts (to 26.0% of the total in 1Q16 from 16.2% in 1Q15) that have a lower RPC than the average; and (ii) a 3.8% fall in average RPC of Interest Rates in BRL contracts, due to higher growth in short term contracts than in long term contracts.

Bovespa Segment: average daily trading value (ADTV) for the equities market reached R$6.96 billion in 1Q16, a 4.6% increase over the same period of 2015, reflecting mainly higher levels of market activity, measured by turnover velocity, which reached 85.6% in 1Q16, versus 71.8% in 1Q15. The turnover velocity was mainly impacted by March's market activity, when it reached 104.3%.On the other hand, average market capitalization fell 13.6% year-over-year, totaling R$1.90 trillion in 1Q16.

Trading/post-trading margins were stable on the year-over-year comparison, reaching 5.264 bps in 1Q16, compared to 5.292 bps in 1Q15.

Other high growth products:

Tesouro Direto achieved a new all-time record, with average assets under custody growing 79.0% year-over-year, amounting to R$26.9 billion. The average number of investors also reached a new record of 278.0 thousand in 1Q16.
