Region:
UK and Ireland
Credit Services
Total revenue growth was 4% at
constant exchange rates, with organic
revenue growth of 2%. While the UK
lending market remains somewhat
subdued, we benefited from our focus
on superior data quality, new product
introductions and as we further
penetrated non-financial customer
segments, including the small and
medium enterprise market. We also
made progress on key investment
initiatives during the year. For example,
we have replatformed the UK credit
bureau, which will enhance our
competitive position, and we introduced
BusinessIQ, our global business
information platform, which has been
well received by clients.
Decision Analytics
Total revenue growth at constant
exchange rates was 5%, while organic
revenue growth was flat. There was
good growth in software sales to
support loan origination and customer
management activity which partially
offset a decline in collections software,
affected by a strong prior-year
comparable. There was also further
progress across identity and fraud
management.

“We were pleased to deliver a solid performance in the UK and
Ireland. Helped by the investments we’re making, our Credit
Services business performed well as we introduced new
superior sources of data, new products and expanded into non-
financial customer segments, including telecommunications
and utilities. Our Consumer Services business saw significant
growth as we grew our membership base and retained
customers for longer.”
