Capital Markets Event

A Deep Dive into Digital Commerce

Ascential plc (LSE: ASCL.L), the specialist information, analytics and eCommerce optimisation company, is hosting a capital markets event today in London.

The event will be hosted by Duncan Painter, Chief Executive, together with leaders from the Digital Commerce business unit.

In relation to this, Ascential will set out a medium term financial goal for the Digital Commerce business unit: seeking to more than double its current run rate* revenues by 2024, on an organic basis, while maintaining an adjusted EBITDA margin in excess of 20%.

Key presentations will be available on the Ascential website, www.ascential.com following the event.
