LONDON, 6 November
2023: Pearson, the world's
leading learning company, will host an investor seminar today at
the New York Stock Exchange for analysts and investors on its
largest and most profitable business, Assessment &
Qualifications.
The seminar will be
hosted by CEO, Andy Bird, and Sally Johnson, CFO. It will feature
presentations and Q&A from Art Valentine, President, Assessment
& Qualifications; Gary Gates, Managing Director, Pearson VUE;
Sharon Hague, Managing Director, US Student Assessment and UK &
International Qualifications; and Mary Kempf, SVP, Finance,
Assessment & Qualifications. No new material financial

on current trading with the Group having already announced Q3

The event will be

A recording of the event, as well as the presentations, will be
available to view on Pearson's website shortly after the event
at https://plc.pearson.com/en-GB/investors/performance/results-reports-presentations.
Andy Bird, Chief Executive, commented: "Assessment &
Qualifications is at the heart of Pearson's lifelong strategy, and
this event will shine a light on what has been and will continue to
be the powerhouse of our growth. The need for trusted accreditation
and certification has never been greater and extends ever further
through people's lifelong learning journeys. Our A&Q business
is exceptionally well placed to leverage this, having built scale
and strong competitive positions in its chosen markets. It is our
largest and most profitable business, its customer base is well
diversified, and it benefits from good revenue consistency and
visibility, meaning that it makes a particularly high-quality
contribution to group performance. We see a broad range of
opportunities to build on these strong foundations, driving
improved top line and margin performance over the coming years, and
unlocking significant synergies with our other businesses.
