Revenues

Underlying results are adjusted for constant exchange rates, the exclusion of disposals and closures, the inclusion of the year-on-year organic growth from acquisitions and for the consistent timing of revenue recognition.

For events, the comparisons are between events held in the year and the same events held the previous time. For Consumer Media, underlying revenues exclude low margin newsprint resale activities.

Amounts are stated rounded to the nearest £1m, consequently totals may not equal the sum of the component integers.

Notes

53

Operating profit is stated before exceptional items, other gains and losses, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, amortisation of intangible assets arising on business combinations, pension finance charges and fair value adjustments. These adjusted results include results from discontinued operations, specifically the Euromoney subsidiary. HY 2017 Pro forma results treat Euromoney as a c.49% associate for all six months, consistent with HY 2018.

Percentages are calculated on actual numbers to one decimal place.

Amounts are stated rounded to the nearest million pounds, consequently totals may not equal the sum of the component integers.

Underlying revenue or profit is revenue or operating profit on a like-for-like basis. Underlying results are adjusted for constant exchange rates, the exclusion of disposals and closures, the inclusion of the year-on-year organic growth from acquisitions and for the consistent timing of revenue recognition. For events, the comparisons are between events held in the year and the same events held the previous time. For Consumer Media, underlying revenues exclude low margin newsprint resale activities. For FY 2017, central dmg information costs allocated to Property Information, EdTech and Energy Information are reclassified to Corporate costs, consistent with all US central costs being included in Corporate costs in FY 2018.

Thank you
