Pre-Close Trading Update and Notice of Results
YouGov, the international research and data analytics group,
today issues a trading update for the six months ending 31 January
2019.
We are pleased to report that half year trading is anticipated
to be ahead of the Board's targets. Consequently, the Board expects
the full year outcome to be slightly ahead of market
expectations.
The Group's performance was driven primarily by Data Products
& Services, as organic growth trends continued across its core
markets and the business expanded into new geographies. Operating
margins in Custom Research continued to improve.
During the period, investment in technology and product
development continued and the Group completed two small bolt-on
acquisitions where we saw opportunity to accelerate our future
growth in specific end-markets. These were InConversation Media,
which provides a technology platform for engaging hard-to-reach
audiences and Portent.IO, a social analytics company focusing on
the film and TV industry.
Notice of Results
YouGov will publish results for the six months ended 31 January
2019 on Tuesday 2 April 2019. The YouGov management team will host
