ESCHBORN (dpa-AFX) - Deutsche Borse remains on record course thanks to good business in many of its divisions. In the first three months, net income climbed by 16 percent to 1.43 billion euros, mainly thanks to an acquisition, the DAX-listed company announced in Eschborn on Tuesday. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 13 percent to 875 million euros. While the increase in income was as expected, the operating result clearly exceeded experts' expectations. Theodor Weimer, who is still CEO of the company, also confirmed the forecasts for the current year./zb/he
