Revenue GrowthA sustained jump in revenue to GBP 389m (from GBP 335m) reflects durable demand for YouGov’s panel subscriptions and analytics. Larger recurring revenues improve predictability, enable reinvestment in product and data capabilities, and support margin expansion through operating leverage over months to years.
Strong Cash GenerationReliable operating cash flow and growing free cash flow demonstrate sustainable internal funding of growth and deleveraging. Strong cash conversion reduces reliance on external funding, supports capex for platform improvements, and provides flexibility to weather cyclical weakness in specific markets over the medium term.
Successful Integration & Cost SavingsShopper’s successful integration and GBP 20m annualised cost savings show effective M&A execution and immediate margin benefit. Combined with investments in AI and data science, this strengthens product mix and scalability, improving long-term profitability and competitive positioning in analytics services.
