LONDON--Anglo-Dutch professional information and events company
RELX PLC (REL.LN) Thursday reported a rise in net profit and raised
its dividend.
The company behind medical journal The Lancet and the London
Book Fair reported a pretax profit of 1.16 billion pounds ($1.44
billion) for the six months ended December 31, up from GBP1 billion
the previous year. Revenue increased to GBP6.9 billion from GBP5.97
billion.
The full-year dividend for the dual-listed company's U.K. arm
RELX PLC will rise 21% to 35.95 pence as the company benefits from
the weakness of the pound, but for the Dutch arm RELX NV rises 5%
to 42.3 euro cents.
"Key business trends in the early part of 2017 are consistent
with the early part of 2016," the company added.
