Euromoney’s capital allocation decisions can be understood along two dimensions

Structure

We characterise the business models of B2B information companies into three generations, which we call B2B Information 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. We service fundamentally cyclical markets. Understanding which point in the cycle they are in is fundamental to our capital allocation decisions.

Cycle

Plotting the businesses along the axes supports our investment decisions, capital allocation and defines strategic priorities.

  • Strategy on track. FY18 “year of growth”
  • Capital being rigorously allocated and quadrants managed. Continuing strong cash

flow

  • DMGT sell down accelerates strategy. But there are standalone company costs
  • Invested FX benefit to accelerate strategy. FX no longer favourable
  • Asset management markets more challenged with MiFID II headwinds
  • Banking & finance and commodities markets improving

Summary: we’re where we expected to be – perhaps a bit ahead.
