Deutsche Boerse AG's (DB1.XE) said Wednesday net profit in the second quarter rose as growing revenue offset higher operating costs, but the profit missed analysts expectations.

The German stock-exchange operator reported a net profit of 210.3 million euros ($245.8 million) for the period, up from EUR176.3 million a year earlier.

Net revenue rose 10%, to EUR687 million.

Analysts had expected the company to post net profit of EUR236.1 million on revenue of EUR683.7 million, according to a consensus compiled by FactSet.

"We are currently right on track to achieve our guidance of at least 10% earnings growth for the full year 2018," Chief Financial Officer Gregor Pottmeyer said.
