Events group Informa on Tuesday reported a 6.6% rise in underlying revenue for the first 10 months of the year, driven by strong growth in its business-to-business live events unit.
The company reaffirmed its full-year guidance, expecting group revenues of around 4 billion British Pounds and adjusted earnings per share growth of over 10%.
Revenue in its B2B Live Events division grew 8.7%, which the company attributed to strong performance in India, the Middle East, and Africa.
The Academic Markets segment saw underlying revenue growth of 3.0%, while the Informa TechTarget unit showed improving momentum, with revenue down 2.7% compared to a 4.3% decline at the half-year mark.
"Informa continues its strong operating performance, delivering further revenue, profit and earnings growth this year and with continuing momentum into next year," said Group Chief Executive Stephen A. Carter.
The company said it has already booked or committed over 1 billion British Pounds in revenue for 2026.
Informa also noted its 2025 share buyback program is ongoing, having acquired 315 million British Pounds worth of shares out of a planned 350 million British Pounds.
