RELX Group, the global professional information and analytics company, has issued a trading update ahead of the Annual General Meetings, and reaffirmed the outlook for the full year.
Trends in the first quarter of 2016 were consistent with 2015 across our business
We continued to focus on organic development, with supporting acquisition activity similar to prior years, but limited completions in the year to date
Our financial position remains strong
We have completed £225m of the previously announced £700m share buyback, with the remaining £475m to be deployed by year end
The full year outlook is unchanged: We remain confident that, by continuing to execute on our strategy, we will deliver another year of underlying revenue, profit, and earnings growth in 2016
