$PSO Pearson sees mid-single digit underlying sales CAGR in medium term For medium term outlook, the company said, "Our future growth and investment focus will lead to mid-single digit underlying sales CAGR.

$PSO Pearson reaffirms 2024 outlook Group underlying sales growth, adjusted operating profit and tax outlook for 2024 remain in line with market expectations. As guided, interest will be c.GBP 45m and free cash flow conversion 95-100%. In terms of divisional guidance and phasing: Expect improved growth momentum in the second half of 2024 with the growth of Higher Education and normalised comparators for the assessments businesses. In Assessment & Qualifications, we continue to expect low to mid-single digit sales growth for the year, with sales growth weighted to H2. In Virtual Schools, we continue to expect sales to decline at a similar rate to 2023, given the previously cited loss of a larger partner school for the 2024/25 academic year. We expect Virtual Schools to return to growth in 2025 and beyond. In Higher Education, we remain confident we will return to growth in the second half and for the full year. Growth in digital sales will continue to shift revenue recognition from Q3 to Q4. In English Language Learning, we continue to expect high single digit sales growth and growth weighted to the second half given the outstanding performance in the first half of 2023. The growth will be driven mainly by Institutional, with PTE being flat to down. In Workforce Skills, we expect to achieve high single digit sales growth. Every 1c movement in GBP :$ rate equates to approximately GBP 5m adjusted operating profit impact.

$PSO Pearson reports 1H adjusted EPS 25.6p vs. 25.6p last year Reports 1H revenue GBP 1.75B vs. GBP 1.88B last year. Omar Abbosh, Pearson's Chief Executive, said: "Since joining Pearson at the start of the year, I have led a comprehensive review of our business and the markets in which we operate. This process has only reinforced my conviction in the potential of Pearson and the vital role we play in helping people realise the life they imagine through learning. Significant demographic shifts and rapid advances in AI will be important drivers of growth in education and work over the coming years, and this plays to Pearson's strengths as a trusted provider of learning and assessment services. We are implementing plans across all of our businesses that will see us deliver better products & services with greater efficiency. We're also focusing on opportunities to progressively build our presence in materially larger and higher growth markets in which we are well positioned to succeed, with a particular focus on early careers and enterprise skilling. "Our good strategic and financial performance in the first half of the year sets us up to achieve our guidance for the current year and for 2025, and we expect thereafter to continue to deliver attractive growth with progressive improvements in our margins alongside consistently strong cash generation."
