Pearson Reaffirms 2025 Outlook With Stronger H2 Sales, Mid-Single Digit Growth In Key Segments, And 90%–100% Cash Conversion

OutlookReaffirm 2025 guidance

• We continue to expect sales growth and adjusted operating profit in line with market expectations4 for 2025 with stronger sales growth in H2, in particular in Q4. We outline our 2025 guidance later in this release.
• The acquisition of eDynamic Learning is not expected to have a material impact to 2025 guidance given near term integration costs and the acquisition accounting for deferred revenue.

Medium term outlook

• Beyond 2025, Pearson is positioned to deliver a mid-single digit underlying sales growth CAGR, sustained margin improvement that will equate to an average increase of 40 basis points per annum and strong free cash conversion5, in the region of 90% to 100%, on average, across the period.
