Market expectations are for full-year adjusted operating profit of £99.1m.
In a brief update for the year to the end of December, the company said digital revenues are expected to be 1% lower than the prior year’s £130m.
It said digital revenue in the fourth quarter was affected by the same factors as those outlined in the Q3 update, including a material reduction in Google referral volumes and continued macroeconomic weakness.
Chief executive Piers North said: "During the period we made significant strategic progress, notably launching digital subscriptions, expanding video output and growing our off-platform audiences.
"We look forward to the year ahead and thank our teams for their efforts in delivering this year's results."
Full-year results are due to be announced on 3 March.
