Investment Case

In the fast-growing knowledge and information economy, we own trusted brands that help businesses and professionals navigate the burgeoning volume of information and data, connecting them with knowledge, ideas and people, enabling them to make better decisions, faster.

We serve growing markets

As the business world becomes more and more digital, high-quality live in-person interactions are becoming more scarce and more valuable. Similarly, as the volume of information available expands exponentially, the value of trusted and verified sources of data and research increases.

We have leading specialist brands and businesses

Our specialist brands have strong recognition and reputations within the markets they serve. Our scale and depth across specialist subject categories and markets gives us a leading position in both Academic Markets and B2B Markets.

Strong financial characteristics

We have strong and consistent growth characteristics. Our capital requirements are low, delivering attractive operating margins and high levels of cash conversion and cash generation. This gives us flexibility for organic and inorganic investment and shareholder returns

Unique, dynamic and agile culture

Many of our colleagues are specialists in the markets we operate in. Our culture also encourages colleagues to be agile and flexible in how they serve customers, which helps us stay responsive to trends and continuously develop and improve what we do.

Opportunities in digital and data services

We are increasingly capturing, collating and enriching first-party customer data from our products and services. This provides insights that help us develop and better market our products and enter adjacent markets with new budget and revenue opportunities.

Underpinned by sustainability

Sustainability is embedded into everything we do. Our consistent commitment and progress on our FasterForward sustainability programme are recognised by many independent indices. We have an AAA ESG rating from MSCI and have been part of the DJSI World Index for the last six years.
