Relx forecasts growth in its three biggest divisions

LONDON (Reuters) - British information provider Relx forecast that its three biggest divisions would help drive growth in underlying revenue and adjusted operating profit in 2021, but said the pandemic continued to hit its exhibitions unit.

Relx said in a trading update on Thursday that its main science, legal and risk divisions had all started the year well.

The exhibitions unit, which holds conferences and events and accounted for 5% of revenue in 2020, continued to be significantly impacted by COVID-19, and the company said that the timing and pace of recovery was uncertain.
