The company already reported a fourth quarter, ending December 31, back in early March — but the new report reflects a shift to a fiscal year ending March 31, which they say will better align with seasonal industry cycles. The preliminary report, which lacks full financials, touts their digital growth and provides minor updates on how COVID-19 has affected the […]

Pearson Pauses Share Buyback, Citing “Prolonged Uncertainty”

March 23, 2020By Sara Grace

Pearson “has decided it is prudent” to pause the rest of their planned £350 million share buyback, the company announced March 23.

(The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020). Pearson estimated that the temporary closing of their Pearson VUE test centres will reduce operating profit by approximately £25 million to £35 million, and cancellations of state tests […]
