                         Interim Management Statement

  Good Q3 performance in line with expectations - on track for the full year

UBM plc today issues the following Interim Management Statement for the period
to 30 September 2014.

UBM performed well in the third quarter, in line with the Board's expectations.
While reported results will continue to be affected by currency movements,
underlying performance remains on track for the full year with all three
business segments expected to deliver in line with the guidance given at the
half year.

Good underlying growth in the Events business was driven by the five Top 20
shows which ran during the third quarter. Both Black Hat in the USA and
Children Baby Maternity Expo in China performed strongly and World Routes
held in Chicago and the September Hong Kong Jewellery & GemFair delivered good
performances. Solid year-on-year growth was achieved by Furniture China.

The focus in Other Marketing Services continues to be on aligning sustainable
online and print marketing services more closely with the Events business.

PR Newswire generated solid underlying growth and good margins.


Portfolio changes

During the quarter we invested £7.4m in our Events business, acquiring Seatrade
Communications and the remaining 30% stake in Catersource.


Strategy Presentation

UBM will give a Strategy Presentation at the London Stock Exchange at 9am
on Monday 3 November 2014.
