Protégé, our next generation AI legal assistant, continues to see rapid growth in usage and its expansion with our most recent launch, Protégé General AI, has been very positively received.<br>In Government & Academic and News & Business, good growth continues to be driven by the further extension of analytics and decision tools. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Full year outlook:** We expect continued strong underlying revenue growth with underlying adjusted operating profit growth exceeding underlying revenue growth.<br>**Exhibitions**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Underlying revenue growth YTD +8%. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Continued strong growth reflects the improved growth profile of our event portfolio and good progress on value-enhancing digital initiatives for our customers.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Full year outlook:** We expect continued strong underlying revenue growth with an improvement in adjusted operating margin over the prior full year.<br>
