Stephen Carter, chief executive, said: "Informa continues its strong operating performance, delivering further revenue, profit and earnings growth this year and with continuing momentum into next year."

Informa also flagged likely revenue growth in 2026, with more than £1bn already booked or committed through subscriptions, pre-booked exhibitor revenues and forward-booked contracts.
