Information and analytics company RELX PLC (LON:REL) said its outlook for the year is unchanged after underlying revenue increased 4% in the first nine months of the year with growth across all its businesses.
The firm formerly known as Reed Elsevier abandoned its dual Anglo-Dutch structure for a single parent holding company in September in a bid to simplify the business.
In the year to date, RELX has sold four assets for £28mln and bought seven assets for £943mln.

Revenue growth in the third quarter was driven by the risk and business analytics business and the exhibitions division, which delivered underlying revenue gains of 8% and 6%, respectively.
The legal unit and scientific, technical and medical arm both generated underlying revenue growth of 2%.
RELX said it has completed £650mln of its previously announced £700mln share buyback programme and will deploy the rest by year-end.
Shares were little changed in early trading at 1,519p.
