Informa Says Current Trading On Track; Full-Year Expectations Unchanged

In its interim management statement released on Tuesday, Publishing firm Informa plc (INFMF.PK,INF.L) said the company's current trading is on track with expectations for the full year remaining the same.

The group's CEO Stephen Carter said in a statement, "Since the start of the year, we have been implementing a programme of Measured Change across the Group, which has delivered a robust performance from our Global Events and Academic Publishing Divisions, and increased operational focus in our Business Intelligence Division. Together, this should enable us to meet our full-year earnings expectations."

In fiscal 2015, the company plans to implement its Growth Acceleration Plan and also its new operating structure, which was first unveiled earlier in July. This in turn, is expected to drive growth across all the divisions over time.
