Dividend increased by 5%Outlook for the full year unchangedMartin Morgan, Chief Executive, said:"We have delivered a good underlying performance in the first half reflectingthe strength of our B2B companies and the resilience of our national consumertitles. As expected, reported operating profit increased despite a decline inreported revenue resulting from recent disposals.Our international B2B companies have increased their underlying revenues andprofits* by 6% and 5% respectively. Our UK consumer business, dmg media,continued to experience challenging conditions and underlying revenues wereslightly down, although the increase in digital revenues more than offset thedecline in print advertising revenues and the business delivered a 7%underlying increase in operating profit*.We have continued to actively manage our portfolio of businesses and have madeseveral acquisitions and disposals during the period and into the second half,to improve the overall quality and growth prospects of the Group.Relative to last year, the first half of the year benefited from the timing ofbiennial events and the absence of a bond redemption premium. Conversely weexpect the comparatives in the second half of the year to be adverselyimpacted by the timing of biennial events and the Olympics, which were one-offbenefits for us in the second half of the last financial year. Overall, theoutlook for the full year remains unchanged."
