Year-end trading update
Notice of Results
St Ives, the international marketing services group, today
provides the following year-end trading update ahead of the
announcement of its final results for the 53 weeks to 3 August
2018, which will be released on 9 October 2018.
Overall, profits before tax for the year are expected to be at
the upper end of market expectations reflecting the strength of our
digital businesses. Full year like-for-like revenue growth on a
constant currency basis was 12%, before an adverse currency
translation impact of 2%.
Against a strong comparative period last year, like-for-like
revenue growth in the second half was 1%, before being offset by an
adverse currency translation impact of 2%. Our performance in the
second half was in part driven by the previously announced GDPR
impact on our data businesses and a recent slowdown in our
healthcare business. We are, however, seeing sentiment improve in
both of these sectors and are also encouraged by the performance of
our digital businesses, which give us a solid base to start the new
financial year.
Notice of Results
The Group intends to announce its final results for the 53 weeks
