Notes
Throughout
this announcement: growth rates are stated on an underlying basis
unless otherwise stated. Underlying growth rates exclude both
currency movements, portfolio changes and the impact of adopting
IFRS 15 in 2018. The latter impact is not material.
1
Based on December 2016 exchange rates. A significant part
of costs and savings from the restructuring programme are US Dollar
denominated and in other non-Sterling currencies and are therefore
subject to exchange rate movements over the implementation
timeframe.

Q1 Trading
In
North
America
, revenues grew 3% in
underlying terms with slight growth in US higher education
courseware, due to lower returns from the channel, and good growth
in Online Program Management (OPM), student assessment,
Professional Certification and Connections Virtual Schools,
partially offset by expected declines in Learning Studio, a
learning management system that is being
retired.
In our
Core
segment (which
includes the UK, Australia and Italy), revenues grew 6% in
underlying terms, partly helped by phasing, but with good growth in
Pearson Test of English and in OPM, where we have recently
announced an additional partnership with the University of
Sussex to launch a programme of postgraduate online degrees from
September 2018.
In our
Growth
segment (which includes Brazil, China, India and
South Africa) revenues were down 12% as good growth in China and in
our Wizard English language schools in Brazil were offset by a
decline in South Africa school courseware, against the prior year
Q1, which benefited from an unusually large order. Excluding South
African school courseware, our Growth segment revenues rose 1% in
underlying terms in the first quarter.
At
Penguin
Random House,
trading is in
line with our expectations.
We will hold a conference call at 8.30am today Friday, 4th May to
discuss our first quarter results. A replay will be available soon
after on our website www.pearson.com. Our AGM will begin today at
12 noon at IET London, 2 Savoy Place, London WC2R 0BL.

Forward looking statements:
Except for the historical
information contained herein, the matters discussed in this
statement include forward-looking statements. In particular, all
statements that express forecasts, expectations and projections
with respect to future matters, including trends in results of
operations, margins, growth rates, overall market trends, the
impact of interest or exchange rates, the availability of
financing, anticipated cost savings and synergies and the execution
of Pearson's strategy, are forward-looking statements. By their
nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties
because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will
occur in future. They are based on numerous assumptions regarding
Pearson's present and future business strategies and the
environment in which it will operate in the future. There are a
number of factors which could cause actual results and developments
to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements, including a number of factors outside
Pearson's control. These include international, national and local
conditions, as well as competition. They also include other risks
detailed from time to time in Pearson's publicly-filed documents
and you are advised to read, in particular, the risk factors set
out in Pearson's latest annual report and accounts, which can be
found on its website (www.pearson.com/corporate/investors.html).
Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are
made, and Pearson gives no undertaking to update forward-looking
statements to reflect any changes in its expectations with regard
thereto or any changes to events, conditions or circumstances on
which any such statement is based. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements.
