What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Condé Nast's UK operations saw pre-tax profits (excluding exceptional items) fall 36% last year, dropping to nearly £18m from £28m in 2024. While UK revenues fell 7% from £75.9m to £70.6m, total revenues remained almost flat at £100m, supported by an 18% increase in international revenues. Restructuring costs at the publisher more than doubled year on year, rising from £1.9m to £4.3m, primarily due to severance costs.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The decline in UK profits and the increase in restructuring charges affect Condé Nast's financial health. Since the Newhouse family holding company controls Condé Nast, the performance of the subsidiary impacts the holding company's asset valuation.
