NEX Group PLC (NXG.LN) said Wednesday that revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 is expected to increase by 3%, citing divisional performance and foreign-exchange hedges.

In a statement ahead of the company's annual general meeting, Chief Executive Michael Spencer said the company has had a solid start to the year and that its acquisition by CME Group Inc. (CME) remains on track to complete in the second half of the year.
