Events and Exhibitions: dmg events

Underlying revenue growth continues

Revenue: continued underlying growth- Solid performances from ADIPEC and Big 5 Dubai- Smaller Gastech event, as expected (Tokyo Apr’17, Barcelona Sep’18)- Five new events launched

Operating profit: reduction reflects investment in major shows, notably ADIPEC

Priorities in the year ahead: - Gastech to change to an annual event: Houston Sep’19*- Six new events planned- Big 5 Dubai and ADIPEC Nov’18: stable performance, slower UAE construction market

Note: * The change from an 18 month to an annual frequency for Gastech is expected to result in a smaller event and a lower operating margin. The underlying growth rates in FY 2019 will be calculated by comparing revenues and operating profits to two-thirds of the Sep’18 Barcelona event, reflecting the reduced interval.

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

Notes

Unless otherwise stated, all profit and profit margin figures refer to adjusted results and not statutory results. The Board and management team use adjusted results, rather than statutory results, to give greater insight to the financial performance of the Group and the way that it is managed. Adjusted results are 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 or credits and fair value adjustments. Adjusted results include results from discontinued operations, specifically the Euromoneysubsidiary during the first three months of FY 2017.

FY 2017 Pro forma results treat Euromoney as a c.49% associate for the full year, consistent with FY 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.
