BIIA’s Deputy Managing Director and Contributing Editor provided a comparison of Equifax and Experian results for the BIIA membership:

At first glance these results look impressive, however, looking at the detail underlying the headline results shows that the acquisition of CSC had made a significant contribution to the results reported.

Experian announced growth for the financial year ending 31st March 2013 of 10% at constant FX, delivering organic growth of 8% (8% H1, 7% H2) with total revenues of $4.7bn.
