Informa said reported revenues had grown by 20.1% in the six months ended 30 June, while adjusted operating profits increased 24% to £578.9m and earnings per share rose by 25.2% to 29.8p. Operating margins increased from 27.5% to 28.4%.
Underlying revenues were up 7.8% and underlying adjusted operating profits were 9.2% higher in H125, reflecting "further strong growth" in Live B2B Events and Academic Markets.
The FTSE 100-listed firm also said roughly £3.1bn, representing 80% of 2025 revenue, was committed or visible through subscriptions, forward bookings and contracts, up from £2.7bn at H124. Informa added that a further £500.0m of revenue was booked and committed for 2026, up approximately 15% year-on-year.
As a result, group underlying revenue growth guidance increased from 5% to 6%, including 8% in Informa's Live B2B Events unit. Reported revenue guidance was maintained at more than £4.0bn, while adjusted earnings growth guidance increased to more than 10%, despite further weakening of the US dollar.
