Ittai Ben Zeev, CEO of TASE: "The Q2 2025 financial statements point to the resilience of TASE, which rests on the strong foundations of the Israeli economy, even during this challenging period. During H1 2025, Israel continued to demonstrate social and economic resilience, through the ongoing October 7 War and became even stronger during the recent 12 Day War with Iran. The significant growth in all TASE's business lines and core activities continued throughout the past quarter. The Israeli retail segment is showing increased interest in the local capital market, although its overall participation remains relatively low compared to most other leading capital markets.
We remain committed to developing and upgrading the local capital market, and pursuing the strategic objectives outlined in TASE's strategic plan, which include, inter alia, enhancing the liquidity and marketability of the TASE-listed companies. As part of these efforts, we continue our preparations toward transitioning to a Monday to Friday trading week, which is expected to strengthen our connection with global markets and attract foreign investment to Israel."

The average daily trading volume on TASE came to NIS 3 billion, an increase of 40% compared to the average daily trading volume of NIS 2.1 billion in H2-2024.
The increase in trading volumes was driven, inter alia, by a substantial rise in the activity of retail investors, complemented by a significant increase in foreign investor participation.

In line with leading global exchanges, this will allow trades to take place at a security's closing price after the closing auction phase.
The Minister of Finance today (August 5, 2025) approved the regulations for the transition to a Monday - Friday trading week, which is scheduled to take effect on January 5, 2026.
Also, at the end of July, TASE launched a beta version of the AI-powered software that translates company reports into English, this as part of the preparations toward transitioning to Monday to Friday trading. Initially, the reports of companies included in the TA-125 Index will be translated, which will enable global investors to receive company information in English.
In June 2025, the TASE Board of Directors authorized management to examine strategic measures with regard to the TASE index business, including a partial or full sale or a partnership with a leading international index operator. The indices' AUM at the end of Q2-2025 amounted to NIS 121 billion, and revenue from index activity in H1-2025 amounted to NIS 14.4 million. Leading investment bank, Jefferies, will accompany TASE through the examination process and assist in identifying international entities suitable for such a transaction.
Highlights of the results for the second quarter of 2025:
Revenue in the second quarter of 2025 totaled NIS 136.1 million, compared to revenue of NIS 105.1 million in the corresponding quarter last year - an increase of 29%. The increase in revenue is due to an increase across all activities, most notably an increase in revenue from Clearing House services and in revenue from trading and clearing commissions.
Costs in the second quarter of 2025 totaled NIS 80.7 million, compared to costs of NIS 74.8 million in the corresponding quarter last year - an increase of 8%. The higher costs are due mainly to the increase in computer and communication expenses, and in depreciation and amortization expenses.
Net financing income in the second quarter of 2025 totaled NIS 1.2 million, compared to NIS 2 million in the corresponding quarter last year, a 40% decrease. The decrease in financing income is due mainly to a reduction in the balance of deposits and to expenses due to changes in the NIS-dollar exchange rates. This decrease was partly offset by gains on marketable securities.
Tax expenses in the second quarter of 2025 totaled NIS 13 million, compared to NIS 8 million in the corresponding quarter last year - a 62% increase. The increase in tax expenses stemmed from the higher pre-tax profit.
