The education publisher reported 3.5% year-over-year revenue growth, driven by virtual learning and assessment segments.
Pearson reported first-half non-GAAP earnings per share of £0.289 on revenue of £1.78 billion, a 3.5% increase from the same period last year. The company cited underlying group revenue growth of 4%, aligning with expectations.
The growth was supported by strong performance in Virtual Learning and a rebound in Assessment & Qualifications during the second quarter. Prior-year revenue stood at £1.72 billion, with consensus estimates closely matching the reported figures.
