Business
RELX Plc provides information-based analytics and decision tools to professional and business customers worldwide. The company operates through four principal segments: Scientific, Technical & Medical, offering content and analytics platforms including Elsevier's ScienceDirect with over 16 million research documents, Scopus bibliographic database covering more than 50 million items, Mendeley research management tools, and leading journals such as The Lancet and Cell; Risk, providing LexisNexis Risk Solutions for fraud prevention, identity verification, financial crime compliance via Accuity, and aviation analytics through Cirium; Legal, delivering LexisNexis legal research databases with 119 billion documents, historical brands like Butterworths and Matthew Bender, and analytics tools; and Exhibitions under RX, organizing over 500 events annually for 140,000 exhibitors and 7 million visitors, including ReedPop consumer shows like New York Comic Con and sites such as Popverse. RELX serves customers in over 180 countries from operations in 40 nations. Formed in 1993 from the merger of Reed International and Elsevier and headquartered in London, the company rebranded from Reed Elsevier in 2015 and maintains a dual-listed structure on the London, Amsterdam, and New York stock exchanges. Recent developments include strong revenue and profit growth in 2024 and the first half of 2025 driven by a shift to higher-quality analytics and recurring revenue streams; exhibition segment revenue up 8% year-over-year in early 2025; divestiture of Gamer Network to IGN Entertainment in May 2024 while retaining EGX and Popverse; and ongoing acquisitions such as Corp Events by RX in 2023 to bolster events capabilities.
