Experian plc, the data and technology company with offices in Nottingham, has hailed “strong” progress in the first half of its financial year.
In the six months ended 30 September 2025 revenue ticked past $4bn, up from $3.6bn in the same period of the year prior, while pre-tax profits rose to $975m from $718m.
Consumer Services organic revenue growth was 9%, with Experian expanding to over 208m free members with strengthened engagement and an expanded product suite. B2B organic revenue grew 8%, driven by strength in data, analytics, mortgage and Experian’s verticals.
All regions contributed to organic revenue growth (up 10% in North America, 4% in Latin America, 1% in the UK and Ireland, and 6% in EMEA and Asia Pacific).
Brian Cassin, CEO, said: “We delivered strong growth in revenue, earnings and cash flow in H1 as we continued to build momentum in our business. We have enhanced our product platforms, deepened consumer relationships and transformed customer experiences and internal processes through AI-driven automation and personalisation.
“At constant currency and from ongoing activities, total revenue was up 12%, organic revenue growth was 8%, Benchmark EBIT increased 14% and Benchmark EBIT margin was up by 50 basis points. Benchmark earnings per share increased by 12% at actual exchange rates.
“For FY26, we now expect total revenue growth of 11%, with organic revenue growth of 8%, at the top end of our prior guidance range, with margin accretion in the range of +30 to +50 basis points, all at constant exchange rates and on an ongoing basis.”
