North America - 67% of Group revenue⁴

North America delivered organic revenue growth of 9%. Total revenue growth was 10% including contributions from the NeuroID and Audigent acquisitions completed in the prior year.

B2B organic revenue growth was 12%.

Financial Services performed strongly, driven by execution of our strategic priorities. Key contributors included new products, Clarity, our Ascend analytics solutions, mortgage and modestly improved underlying client activity, plus some one-off licence renewals. In Verticals, Automotive grew well, led by our credit and value recovery products. Health performance was strong too, helped by continued adoption of our Patient Access and Claims products. In Marketing Services, the Audigent integration has progressed well, with growing relationships across key industry platforms.

Consumer Services delivered organic revenue growth of 3%. Excluding data breach services, Consumer Services delivered 11% organic growth. Premium subscription performed well, and our marketplace business continued recent momentum. The credit marketplace reflected strong growth across both credit cards and personal loans, as our partners leverage our Activate capability and shift more investment toward our platform driven by high quality leads. As expected, Partner Solutions performance reflected the lower data breach services revenue.

Latin America delivered organic revenue growth of 5%. At constant currency, total revenue growth was 17%, including contributions from the acquisitions of ClearSale, TEx, SalaryFits, and CCFácil.

B2B organic revenue was in-line with the prior year. In Brazil, ongoing macroeconomic volatility and persistently high interest rates held back B2B growth. We continue to invest in long-term strategic priorities such as small and medium enterprise and analytics and software solutions with further progress in these areas. Spanish Latin America benefited from expansion in scores and increased PowerCurve demand. The integration of ClearSale is progressing well.

Consumer Services delivered organic revenue growth of 24%. In Brazil, we delivered strong growth in our credit marketplace, which benefited from the integration of new partners. Limpa Nome continues to perform well, supported by platform enhancements and growing volumes across several key partners.

B2B organic revenue was (2)%, with Financial Services stable year-on-year. We advanced key initiatives, with positive client reception for the Ascend Sandbox following recent wins, though a subdued economic environment continued to weigh on growth.

Organic revenue growth in Consumer Services was 11%, driven by strength in marketplace. New feature enhancements, a strong lender panel and higher conversion rates contributed to market outperformance.

EMEA and Asia Pacific - 7% of Group revenue⁴

In EMEA and Asia Pacific, organic revenue growth was 7%, with total constant currency revenue growth of 36%. The difference includes the contribution from our illion acquisition, completed on 30 September 2024, which is progressing well.
