Martin Morgan, Chief Executive, and Stephen Daintith, Finance Director, discuss the key highlights from DMGT’s 2014 Preliminary Full Year Results. The Group has seen record results, with strong underlying growth in its B2B businesses and a very strong profit performance in its consumer division, dmg media. Active portfolio management has continued throughout the year, with the successful IPO of Zoopla, the disposal of Evenbase, and the acquisition of DIIG(E) by dmg information and the Indaba Mining Conference exhibition by Euromoney. DMGT has grown internationally this year, including investments in education and meteorological forecasting for the agricultural industry in India. Throughout the year, DMGT’s investment strategy has seen the Group take minority investments in younger companies, ensuring it invests during the highest growth phase, as well as working with entrepreneurs and founders in the long-term. The Group has also invested heavily in its technology capability, appointing a number of new Chief Technology Officers across DMGT, most recently at MailOnline, and integrating a technology aspect into its Leadership programme.
