NEW YORK - November 12, 2003 - eSpeed, Inc. (NASDAQ:ESPD), a subsidiary of
Cantor Fitzgerald and the leading developer of electronic trading technology,
today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003.

EARNINGS

For the third quarter 2003, the Company reported fully taxed operating income of
$10.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. eSpeed reports net operating income
in order to reflect earnings generated from the Company's operations. In
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), eSpeed reported
net income of $10.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the third quarter
2003. The difference between fully taxed operating income and GAAP net income is
a $0.4 million charge for a charitable contribution to the Cantor Fitzgerald
Relief Fund related to the annual September 11th Charity Day and a $0.4 million
non-cash charge for business partner securities. For comparative purposes,
eSpeed reported pre-tax operating income of $17.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted
share, in the third quarter 2003, a 94 percent increase over the $0.16 per
diluted share reported in the third quarter 2002.

REVENUE

eSpeed's total revenues for the third quarter 2003 were $44.3 million, 34
percent higher than revenues of $33.0 million for third quarter 2002. On a
sequential basis, total revenues increased 13 percent from $39.1 million
reported in the second quarter 2003.

Third quarter 2003 fully electronic revenues increased to $32.3 million, up 42
percent compared to $22.8 million in the third quarter 2002. Total revenues from
Software Solutions in the third quarter 2003 were $6.1 million versus $4.8
million in the third quarter 2002, an increase of 27 percent.

Third quarter 2003 pre-tax operating margins grew to 39.9 percent versus 26.8
percent in the third quarter 2002 and 35.5 percent in the second quarter 2003.



VOLUME & TRANSACTIONS

Fully electronic volume for the third quarter 2003 was $9.6 trillion, a 23
percent increase over $7.8 trillion for the second quarter 2003. eSpeed's total
electronic volume, including fully electronic and voice-assisted transactions,
for the third quarter 2003 was $12.4 trillion, up 19 percent from $10.4 trillion
in the second quarter 2003. This growth compares to an 8 percent increase in US
Treasury volume as reported by the Federal Reserve.

The Company had anticipated Federal Reserve US Treasury average daily volume for
the third quarter 2003 in a range of $440 - $460 billion. Actual Federal Reserve
US Treasury average daily volume was $478 billion for the third quarter.

Howard W. Lutnick, Chairman, CEO & President of eSpeed, Inc., commented, "Our
strong results this quarter were primarily based on our unmatched position as
the leading electronic platform in the US Treasury market. eSpeed's market
position dramatically improved as evidenced by both our volume growth outpacing
that of the Federal Reserve US Treasury average daily volumes as well as the
success and continued traction of our Price Improvement (PI) product
enhancement. During the third quarter, we saw increases in both the number of PI
users as well as the number of transactions executed using Price Improvement."

eSpeed's new product roll-outs remain on schedule. Lee Amaitis, Global Chief
Operating Officer of eSpeed commented, "Our foreign exchange product has
received excellent customer feedback, and we believe it has the potential to
transform the foreign exchange market by increasing efficiency and broadening
market participation. We remain on target with the roll-outs of both our
mortgage backed securities and interest rate swaps products which will be on
traders' desktops by the end of the year."

FREE CASH FLOW & CASH

The Company generated free cash flow (excluding related party receivables and
payables) of $18.5 million during the third quarter 2003, 40 percent higher than
the $13.2 million in the second quarter 2003. Including related party
receivables and payables, free cash flow for the quarter was $17.2 million.

As of September 30, 2003, eSpeed's cash and cash equivalents increased to
approximately $217 million compared to $199 million as of June 30, 2003.

OUTLOOK

For the fourth quarter 2003, eSpeed expects average daily Federal Reserve US
Treasury volume to be between $425 and $435 billion, down from the previously
expected $440 - $460 billion. The Company anticipates that the seasonally slower
fourth quarter,



specifically due to the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays and two
fewer trading days, will result in comparatively lower average daily volumes.
For the fourth quarter 2003, the Company expects to generate operating income in
the range of $0.14 - $0.15 per share diluted and after-tax.

The Company maintains its full year 2003 operating income guidance in a range of
$0.65 - $0.67 per share diluted and after-tax, which includes actual third
quarter results and guidance for the fourth quarter. Full year 2003 guidance is
predicated on the expectation that average daily Federal Reserve US Treasury
volume will be between $436 and $439 billion.

For the full year 2004, eSpeed expects to generate revenue in excess of $185
million and expects its pre-tax operating margins to exceed 41 percent for the
full year. eSpeed anticipates that its incremental margins will exceed 75
percent for the full year 2004. Operating earnings for 2004 are expected to be
in a range of $0.80 and $0.84 per share diluted and after-tax. This guidance is
based on the Company's expectations that average daily Federal Reserve US
Treasury volume will be between $490 and $510 billion for the full year 2004.

In conclusion, Mr. Lutnick added, "With impressive results so far in 2003, we
are well positioned to continue our growth in 2004. We expect 2004 will be
characterized by continued US Treasury market issuance with additional US
Treasury benchmark issues being added, further traction in our Price Improvement
and Contingent Order product enhancements as well as new applications for each
of these product enhancements, and a reasonable expectation of traction in our
Foreign Exchange, Equities and other new products. We look forward to extending
our solid leadership position into 2004 and beyond."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement eSpeed's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance
with GAAP and to better reflect the Company's quarter-over-quarter and
comparative first three quarters operating performance, eSpeed uses non-GAAP
financial measures of revenues, income before income tax provision, net income
and earnings per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain non-operating
expenses and gains. In addition, the Company provides a computation of free cash
flows. These non-GAAP financial measurements do not replace the presentation of
eSpeed's GAAP financial results but are provided to improve overall
understanding of the Company's current financial performance and its prospects
for the future. Specifically, eSpeed believes the non-GAAP financial results
provide useful information to both management and investors regarding certain
additional financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial
condition and results from operations. In addition, eSpeed's management uses
these measures for reviewing the Company's financial results and evaluating
eSpeed's financial performance. In the third quarter 2003, the difference
between GAAP net income and non-GAAP net operating income was $0.8 million.
