Investment Technology Group Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Investment Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE: ITG), a leading agency broker and
financial technology firm, today announced that for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2009, net income was $20.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, versus
net income of $25.7 million and earnings of $0.58 per diluted share in the
second quarter of 2008. ITG`s revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were
$168.0 million versus $180.4 million for the second quarter of 2008. Pre-tax
margins in the second quarter of 2009 were 20.2 percent compared to 24.4 percent
in the second quarter of 2008.

On a sequential basis, second quarter earnings rose 59 percent compared to
earnings of $0.29 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009. Excluding
severance charges, earnings per diluted share rose 23 percent in the second
quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter. Revenues for the second quarter
of 2009 were up 8 percent versus the prior quarter, while pre-tax margins,
excluding severance charges, rose by 2 percentage points.

"The second quarter was marked by a degree of stabilization in US pricing and
volumes, as inflows into equity mutual funds turned positive," said Bob Gasser,
ITG's Chief Executive Officer and President. "However, the overall economic
environment remains challenging and our core active customers have yet to return
to their previous level of engagement with our execution product suite."

ITG`s non-US revenues were $46.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 versus
revenues of $48.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. Non-US operations
generated net income of $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to
$1.3 million of net income in the second quarter of 2008. Non-US revenues were
up 20 percent in the second quarter of 2009 versus the trailing quarter, while
net income moved to profitability after a net loss of $2.1 million in the first
quarter of 2009.

"Our top line results in Europe improved compared with the first quarter of 2009
along with market conditions, while margins were positively affected by many of
the initiatives we have put in place to take advantage of changes in market
structure," said Mr. Gasser. "In the Asia Pacific region, our revenues
significantly outperformed market turnover gains compared with the first quarter
of 2009 as we improved traction with clients under our new leadership team.
Along with our consistently profitable Canadian business, we are pleased with
the international results we have achieved from the deployment of ITG`s
capabilities around the globe."

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenues were $323.6 million compared to
