Pre-Close Trading Update and Notice of Results
YouGov, the international research data and analytics group,
today announces a pre-close trading statement for the full year
ending 31 July 2018.
We are pleased to report that the Group's trading for the year
ending 31 July 2018 is now expected to be ahead of previous
expectations for the year. With these results, YouGov has achieved
another year of strong revenue and operating profit growth well
ahead of the global market research sector.
In line with our strategy and five year plan, the higher margin
Data Products & Services segment has achieved excellent growth
in both revenue and operating profit, while actions taken to
strategically focus the Custom Research segment have yielded
improved margins. Geographically, YouGov's growth has been
strongest in the USA and UK, the world's two largest market
research markets. To support this growth, during the year we have
continued to make targeted investments in technology, geographic
expansion and new sector verticals.
YouGov will publish Preliminary Results for the year ended 31
July 2018 on Tuesday 9 October 2018. The YouGov management team
will host a presentation for analysts at FTI Consulting, 200
Aldersgate, Aldersgate Street, London EC1A 4HD at 9.30am; should
you wish to attend please contact FTI Consulting.
