Informa, a British events and academic publishing group, said on Thursday 2025 would be another year of double-digit percentage growth, after reporting an 11.6% rise in 2024 underlying revenue and agreeing a partnership with Dubai <\/a>World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/p>\n

The events sector has experienced a rebound in the last two years, with a notable resurgence in in-person business conferences and exhibitions, after the pandemic-induced disruptions.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Stephen Carter said Informa provided a range of services connected to its exhibitions and events, such as data analysis, accreditation and learning services, which were increasingly underpinned by AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We’re in about 27 markets, and we have a big industry or market-leading trade show, which is the place where everybody in the industry connects, and we put other things around that,” he said.<\/p>\n

Informa said it had agreed\u00a0a partnership with DWTC to pursue opportunities in exhibitions and event management, targeting revenues of more than $700 million.<\/p>\n

The deal will bring together leading brands in healthcare, energy, aviation, food and IT, Carter said, adding that the joint venture would also drive growth into adjacent markets.<\/p>\n

Shares in the group, which hit an all-time high last month, fell by 4% to 784 pence.<\/p>\n

Informa, the world’s largest exhibition group, said it expects double-digit percentage growth in group revenue and adjusted diluted earnings per share, including reported revenues of more than 4.1 billion pounds ($5.29 billion) in 2025.<\/p>\n

For 2024, revenue came in at 3.55 billion pounds and it logged an adjusted operating profit of 995 million pounds, higher than the 975 million pounds it had forecast.<\/p>\n

Informa also said it is restarting share buybacks with an initial minimum target of more than 200 million pounds in 2025.<\/p>\n
