Dividend Sustainability and Growth

Progressive growth intact: FY2025 DPS up 7%, consistent with mid-single to high-single digit growth trend.
Healthy coverage and cash generation: ~52.5% payout on adjusted EPS; 99% cash flow conversion supports cash dividends.
Balance sheet headroom: Net debt/EBITDA 2.0x (from 1.8x); still moderate for RELX’s cash profile. Average interest cost 3.9% keeps financing burden manageable.
Earnings momentum: Underlying revenue +7%, adjusted operating profit +9%, adjusted EPS +10% (cc). Management guides to “another year of strong growth” in 2026, underpinning further DPS increases.
Capital allocation supportive: £1.5bn buybacks in 2025, planned £2.25bn in 2026 alongside the dividend signals strong confidence and provides per-share support without crowding out DPS.
