LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Information and analytics company Relx said on Thursday that both revenue and adjusted operating profits had grown in the six months ended 30 June, leading it to reaffirm FY guidance.
Relx said revenues were up 7% at £4.74bn, while adjusted operating profits grew 9% to £1.65bn, and adjusted earnings per share of 63.5p were 10% higher at constant currency. Reported operating profits rose from £1.43bn to £1.49bn and reported earnings per share of 52.9p were modestly above the 52.6p reported in Q124.

The FTSE 250-listed group also declared an interim dividend of 19.5p, up 7% year-on-year.

Looking ahead, Relx said it continues to see "positive momentum across the group", and said it now expects to deliver "another year of strong underlying growth in revenue and adjusted operating profit", as well as strong growth in adjusted earnings per share on a constant currency basis.

Chief executive Erik Engstrom said: "Relx delivered strong revenue and profit growth in the first half of 2025, in line with full year 2024 but with a higher quality growth profile.

"Our improving long-term growth trajectory continues to be driven across the group by the ongoing shift in business mix towards higher growth analytics and decision tools that deliver enhanced value to our customers."

As of 0900 BST, Relx shares were down 0.18% at 3,888.00p.
