Earnings were $0.41 per diluted share, an increase of 86 percent versus earnings of $0.22 per diluted share in the second quarter of last year.

Net income included $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share, of recognized tax benefits from certain capital loss carry-forwards.

On a pro forma operating basis, net income was $15.8 million, 98 percent higher than operating income of $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2004. Operating earnings were $0.38 per diluted share, an increase of 100 percent versus operating earnings of $0.19 per diluted share in the second quarter of last year. Operating results exclude a pre-tax gain of $2.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, on investment securities sold in the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter 2004 operating results exclude a one-time pre-tax gain of $2.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, from the sale of the company's interest in KTG Technologies Corp. Pre-tax operating margins were 24.9 percent, up from 18.2 percent in the second quarter of 2004.

"ITG's strong performance and continued market share gain this quarter demonstrate the progress we've made in successfully executing ITG's corporate growth strategy," stated Ray Killian, ITG's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Macgregor acquisition will be an important step forward and we remain committed to offering customers superior service and solutions across the trading spectrum."

Domestically, ITG's trading volume for the second quarter of 2005 was 6.4 billion shares (averaging 100 million shares per trading day) compared to 5.8 billion shares in the first quarter of 2005 (averaging 96 million shares per trading day) and 5.0 billion in the second quarter of 2004 (averaging 81 million shares per trading day).

ITG's International business posted a record quarter with revenues of $22.9 million, 15 percent higher than revenues of $19.9 million in the second quarter of 2004.

International pre-tax operating profits grew from $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2005.

Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Pro Forma Operating Results (unaudited)

In evaluating the Company's financial performance, management reviews results from operations which excludes non-operating or one-time charges. Pro forma earnings per share is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) performance measure, but the Company believes that it is useful to assist investors in gaining an understanding of the trends and operating results for the Company's core businesses. Pro forma earnings per share should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Company's reported results under US GAAP.

The following is a reconciliation of US GAAP results to pro forma results for the periods presented (in thousands except per share amounts):
