Important Notice

Operating profit is stated before exceptional items, other gains and losses, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, pension finance charges, premiums on bond redemptions and amortisation of intangible assets arising on business combinations. These adjusted results, including revenue and operating profit, are for total operations, including those treated as discontinued, namely dmg media’s digital recruitment business, Evenbase.
Percentages are calculated on actual numbers to one decimal place.
Amounts are stated rounded to the nearest million pounds, consequently totals may not equal the sum of the component integers.
Underlying revenue or profit is revenue or profit on a like-for-like basis, adjusted for constant exchange rates, disposals, closures, non-annual events occurring in the current and prior year and acquisitions. For dmg information, underlying growth includes the year-on-year organic growth from acquisitions and excludes disposals. For dmg events, the comparisons are between events held in the year and the same events held the previous time. For Euromoney, disposals are excluded and a biennial event that took place during the period is also excluded. Euromoney’s underlying profit excludes the benefit in FY2015 of the release of the accrual made the previous year in respect of its CAP incentive plan. For dmg media, underlying comparisons exclude disposals, Wowcher and Evenbase, and include the year-on-year organic growth from acquisitions. Underlying revenues only include the profit but not the gross-up, equivalent to the cost of sales, from low margin newsprint resale activities.

Adjusting itemsReconciliation from statutory PBT to adjusted PBT
¹ The £128m profit on disposals in HY 2015 shown on slide 27 includes the profit on disposal of discontinued operations, which is
excluded from statutory PBT as well as from adjusted PBT (since statutory results exclude discontinued operations). The profit on
disposal of discontinued operations is effectively added in and then reversed back out in this reconciliation.

• Funding plan agreed in Feb’14: c.£34m p.a. to 2020, c.£28m p.a. to 2022 and £23m p.a. to 2026, including £5m p.a. to 2022 on
‘Offset recovery payments’. Payments in excess of the £34m p.a. recovery plan amounts can be carried forward against
future ‘Offset recovery payments’. Contributions cease once actuary agrees schemes are not in deficit.• Actuarial valuation as at 31 March 2016 is currently in progress.
• IAS19 deficit at 31 March 2016 = £85m (£159m at 30 September 2015)
• Future payments in excess of £29m p.a. of minimum recovery plan payments to 2020 are dependent on share buy-backs, M&A affecting
schemes or pensions liability management, plus other minor contributions. The share buy-back and other payments in excess of £5m p.a. in
FY 2014 and FY 2015 can be carried forward such that, in the absence of further share buy-backs, only the £29m minimum recovery plan
payments would be required in FY 2017.
• Additional future payments equivalent to 20% of share buy-backs are required.
