Core revenue was HKD5.5 billion, down 12% QoQ and up 17% YoY, exceeding market expectations by 2%, thanks to higher listing fees and depository fees.

HKEX's investment income for the last quarter was HKD1.2 billion, 45% higher than market expectations, partly due to a HKD163 million gain of unlisted equities and HK$53 million exchange gains in the quarter. Operating expenses mounted 4% YoY, owing to higher depreciation expenses, but were 9% less than market expectations.
