United Business Media acquisition of ABI Building Data

UBM plc has today announced the acquisition of ABI Building Data Limited (ABI), from EMAP plc for £12m plus an amount equal to the cash in the business. In the calendar year 2004 ABI generated revenues of £5.5 million and EBITDA of £1.1 million.

“ABI represents a significant opportunity for CMPi to strengthen its information product offering to the construction industry and is complementary to our existing range of market leading products serving this sector – in particular the Barbour product range. Increasing demand for project data will continue to drive growth in this business. The acquisition should be earnings-enhancing in its first full year.”

Chairman’s Statement to the United Business Media plc AGM
Profits Broadly In Line, Strategy On Track

£300m Special Dividend With Share Consolidation

Speaking at the United Business Media annual general meeting today, the Chairman, Geoff Unwin said:

“2005 has already seen significant changes for UBM, with a steady pipeline - over £60m to date - of earnings enhancing acquisitions, the £383m disposal of NOP World, the £35m disposal of UBM’s shareholding in SDN, a £32m settlement payment from Granada, and the appointment of a new CEO.

“David Levin has been enthusiastically taking up the reins of the Group as its new CEO - following the departure of Clive Hollick who leaves UBM having made an outstanding contribution in his 31 years at the head of the company.

“Profits from our continuing operations are broadly in line with the trends we indicated in February, albeit with revenue softening in March and April, partially offset by further cost savings. UBM continues to achieve revenue growth in its exhibitions, particularly in Asia, and in its online operations; US news distribution also continues to show solid revenue growth; however print continues to face significant challenges, particularly in the classified titles but also in display titles.

“In this changing market, it is all the more important for us to renew our product ranges and evolve our existing products and UBM is moving ahead with our previously announced £5m to £10m programme of incremental new product investment.”

“UBM has bought market leading publishing businesses for around £60m so far this year – including medical trade press in France, specialised paper industry events and publications in Asia, specialist licensed trade publications and events in the UK and leading online developer websites in the US.

“The £383m NOP World disposal remains on track for completion at the end of May, with Hart-Scott-Rodino anti-trust clearances having been received and certain other clearances still pending. Conditional on completion, UBM intends to return £300m of the proceeds to shareholders – all of it by way of a special dividend of approximately 90p per share. In order to maintain comparability of the UBM share price and earnings and dividend per share before and after the payment of the special dividend, the Board intends to seek shareholder approval to implement a consolidation of UBM’s issued ordinary share capital. A circular will be posted to shareholders with details of the proposed return of funds and to convene the necessary EGM in due course. Subject to the timing of completion of the NOP World disposal and to shareholder approval at the necessary EGM, the special dividend and consolidation should be completed by the end of June. Detailed documentation on the special dividend and consolidation process will be issued following completion of the NOP World sale. Today we are also seeking the renewal of authority to buyback 10 per cent of our own shares.”

New CEO David Levin today added:

“It’s great to be on board and getting stuck in. I’m delighted with the handover I have received from Clive and Malcolm Wall and have been pleased by the depth of preparation for the transition from the organisation.

“I have reorganised the management of the businesses to align the structure of UBM’s management and UBM’s cost base with the geographical needs of customers and their marketplaces, as well as to address the issue of performance at UAP. We continue to look for “bolt on” opportunities to consolidate our chosen markets and the acquisition of ABI was a good fit with our continuing strategy.

“UBM is an increasingly focused provider of B2B information services worldwide, its businesses operate across rapidly evolving publishing, events and other media platforms, in a wide range of industry sectors. We intend to build on the strength of these market leading positions and brands and to ensure UBM is ever closer to its customer base.”

Detailed Notes:

Changes to UBM Management Structures
Bernard Gray, CEO of CMPi (UK and continental Europe), has now also become CEO of United Advertising Publications UAP (including Exchange & Mart and Dalton’s Weekly). Gary Marshall, CEO of CMP Media, has taken on responsibility for those CMPi businesses which operated in the USA (notably the enthusiast Music and Entertainment titles), these have now been brought into CMP Media. Charles Gregson takes on the CEO role at PR Newswire.

UBM’s next scheduled trading information point
Is its regular pre close season update on 21^st June 2005.

IFRS
UBM will produce its 2005 interim accounts on an IFRS basis – with a reconciliation to UK GAAP. In advance of the 2005 interim results UBM will provide 2004 interims results restated on a comparable IFRS basis.

UNITED BUSINESS MEDIA

US High Tech Publishing Statistics: Quarter 1 2005

Summary

Quarter 1 2005

The market decreased by 5.6% compared to the year to March 2004. CMP’s continuing titles, in the year to March 2005, recorded a 4.2% decrease in advertising page volumes against the year to March 2004.

Market share of CMP Media’s continuing titles year to date was 26.9% up from 26.5% in the prior year period.

Trailing twelve months to March 2005

The market decreased by 5.2% in advertising page volumes in the twelve months ended March 2005 compared to the twelve months ended March 2004. CMP Media’s continuing High Tech publications recorded a 3.2% decrease in the same period.

NOTE: In February UBM announced that due to the progressive decline in the significance of this indicator since its initial publication in 2001 UBM would publish this analysis quarterly rather than monthly as previously. Since February investors have indicated that these statistics have become of such diminished relevance for UBM’s overall performance that they would prefer it if they were not published at all. Accordingly this will be the last issuance of these statistics.
