SUMMARY

YouGov is continuing to deliver on its growth strategy, with FY17 revenues up 21% y-o-y (9% in constant currency). Data products and services now represent 44% of group revenues. This concentration on its core strengths, using its own proprietary panel, is increasing group margins and giving better visibility to earnings through subscription income. Cash conversion remains strong, allowing continued investment in data analytics, geographic expansion and panel recruitment. The dividend has been stepped up 43%, reflecting the greater maturity of the business model and the cash-rich balance sheet. These strengths are reflected in the continuing valuation premium to peers.
