Thank you very much. Hello, everybody, and welcome to our FY26 results presentation. I'm joined by Lloyd, who will run through the financials after my initial overview, and then we'll open up for Q&A.
FY26 was a strong year for Experian, a record year, in fact, where we delivered on our medium-term framework. We had many important client wins and renewals, and we made really good strategic progress whilst remaining disciplined on capital.
And that leaves us well-positioned as we move into the new financial year.
Financially, it was an excellent year. Organic revenue came at the top of our range of expectations with margins ahead. And just as importantly, this is our 2nd year of delivery against the medium-term framework, demonstrating consistent execution against our objectives.
Organic revenue growth for the year was 8%, rising to 9% in Q4.
Margins expanded by 60 basis points at constant currency, ahead of our 30 to 50 basis points guidance.
