Risk Management Solutions (RMS): reported revenues were £43 million, with underlying growth of 4%, in line with expectations as the core business continues to perform well.

Genscape (our energy business) grew underlying revenues by a particularly strong 23% in the quarter with good performances delivered elsewhere across the portfolio. dmg events: reported revenues were £22 million, with underlying growth of 13% in the quarter, and include the Global Petroleum Show (GPS) which occurred in June 2014 but did not take place in 2013.

MailOnline’s digital advertising revenue growth of £5 million (up 49%) to £15 million for the quarter exceeded the decline of £3 million (down 5%) in print advertising revenues, to £46 million, at the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday for the same period. Underlying# advertising revenues across the combined print and digital Mail businesses were consequently up 4%. MailOnline’s global monthly unique browsers in June stood at 169 million, up 39% on last year, and average global daily unique browsers were 11.0 million, an increase of 34% on last year. Within other digital advertising, Wowcher delivered a particularly strong performance with revenues of £6 million (up 58%) and it now has a substantial database of 5.5 million subscribers. For the three weeks since 29 June 2014, total underlying# advertising revenues are up 9% on last year. Net debt / financing Net debt at 30 June 2014 was £550 million, down from £793 million at 31 March 2014.

On 23 July 2014, DMGT received a £9 million dividend from the Press Association, following its disposal of MeteoGroup in December 2013. 2 Active portfolio management As a result of the IPO of Zoopla Property Group (ZPG) in June 2014, DMGT has received net proceeds to date of £179 million and its stake in the business has been reduced from 52.1% to 31.8%. The disposal of dmg media’s remaining digital recruitment businesses, Jobrapido and Jobsite, were announced in the quarter and the Jobsite transaction is expected to complete in the final quarter of calendar 2014. Acquisition activity during the quarter included dmg information investing in businesses in the energy and property information sectors. On 16 July 2014, Euromoney announced the acquisition of the trade and certain assets of the Mining Investment Events Division of Summit Professional Networks for £45 million. The principal asset, the Investing in African Mining Indaba brand, is the leading investment forum and trade event for African mining. Euromoney already has a strong presence in the commodities markets and with investors, in particular through its Metal Bulletin and Institutional Investor brands, and the acquisition provides Euromoney with an excellent opportunity to expand its position in these markets.

For dmg information, underlying growth includes the year-on-year organic growth from acquisitions. For dmg events, the comparisons are between events held in the year and the same events held the previous time other than ADIPEC, which became an annual event in November 2013, which is compared to 50% of the revenues of the biennial November 2012 event. For Euromoney, no adjustments are made for the timing of events but acquisitions are excluded completely. For dmg media, underlying comparisons exclude contract printing revenue, which ceased last year, the central and eastern European businesses, which were disposed of last year, Villarenters, OilCareers, Broadbean and Jobrapido which were disposed of this year and distribution services revenue, which ceased earlier this year. The disposal of Jobsite, formerly part of dmg media’s Evenbase business, is expected to complete in the final quarter of calendar 2014 and Jobsite is still included in the underlying figures.
