Late last month Haymarket Group reported annual earnings of £11.5 million in the last financial year ending 30 June 2025. Accounts filed at Companies House show the total turnover in this period was £175 million, reporting a healthy underlying profit despite a turbulent global economy.
Haymarket Group says the results reflect a year of strategic balancing across Haymarket’s international footprint. The Group says it saw positive growth in the UK, a steady performance in Germany, and its best performance in over a decade in Asia. In the US profits decreased by £2.3 million year-on-year, a result driven by a combination of challenging healthcare market conditions, political elections and the impact of fluctuating exchange rates. Despite these factors, the Group’s balanced portfolio across medical, automotive, and marketing-communications sectors ensured steady profitability.
Haymarket continued to actively invest in its future, added the Group, with a particular emphasis on New Product Development (NPD). This targeted investment in digital platforms and data-led products is central to the Group’s strategy to move toward sustainable, paid-content revenue streams.
In an achievement for the business, Haymarket Media Group is now a Certified B Corp. This global accreditation follows a three-year effort to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, the Group continued. This commitment is further evidenced by the £440,000 raised for charity and nearly 2,000 volunteer hours dedicated by employees over the past year.
Kevin Costello, global chief executive of Haymarket said: “Our strategy continues to focus on a balanced portfolio of diversified revenues while accelerating our digital transformation. By shifting towards digital platforms and paid-content models, we are building a more sustainable and resilient business.
“We remain firmly people-first. With over 1,200 colleagues across eight countries and an average global tenure of over seven years, our culture is our greatest asset. We continue to invest in our future through robust apprenticeship and early-career programmes in the UK and US, which are vital for driving workforce diversity and fresh perspectives. While we continue to invest organically, we also have the healthy cash reserves needed to pursue new ventures. Our recent acquisition of MWCR Ltd from Centaur Media Plc in September 2025 is a testament to our commitment to accelerating growth in our chosen markets.”
Rupert Heseltine, chairman of Haymarket Group added: “I am immensely proud that Haymarket is now a Certified B Corp™. This is a powerful testament to our commitment to accountability and transparency. In uncertain times, our geographic and sectoral diversification has made us more resilient. I want to thank every one of our employees whose talent and hard work ensure we continue to deliver the remarkable content that inspires and informs our audiences.”
