First-quarter revenue trends by region and business line

As reported by London Stock Exchange, citing Regulatory News Service, Experian says revenue from ongoing activities rises 10% at actual exchange rates in the first quarter, with growth of 8% at constant currency and 7% organically, which the company says is in line with expectations.

Chief Executive Officer Brian Cassin says the company delivers a strong start to FY27 and continues to execute against its strategy, backed by its data assets, scaled platforms and expanding AI-enabled opportunities.

North America records 7% organic revenue growth and 8% total revenue growth. Within that market, B2B organic revenue growth reaches 11%, with Financial Services supported by Ascend analytics solutions, fraud prevention products, mortgage activity and stable underlying client demand.

Consumer Services in North America declines 2% organically, which Experian says is expected after the initial wind down last quarter of two long-term mass data breach support contracts. Excluding data breach services, Consumer Services delivers 3% organic growth.

Latin America and UK support broader performance

Latin America posts 12% organic revenue growth, with total constant currency revenue growth also at 12%. Experian says B2B organic revenue in the region grows 9%, reflecting continued commercial and product momentum.

In UK and Ireland, organic revenue growth is 5%, while total constant currency revenue growth is 7%, primarily due to the contribution from the KYC360 acquisition. In EMEA and Asia Pacific, organic revenue growth is 1%, with total constant currency revenue growth also at 1%.

Experian says its full-year expectations are unchanged. The company is due to release results for the half year ending 30 September 2026 on Wednesday, 18 November 2026.

Our earlier analysis of Experian (EXPN) focused on the stock’s pullback driven largely by technical selling and overbought intraday signals rather than new fundamental news. It highlighted mixed momentum—strength above short- and medium-term moving averages but weakness versus the 200-day trend—and pointed to GBX 2,598 as a key support level to watch for signs of renewed downside pressure.
