Dollar saps Reuters revenues
Revenue at Reuters fell by 1.1% to [pounds sterling]626m in the first quarter of this year compared with [pounds sterling]633m a year ago.
The news provider blamed most of the fall on the weaker dollar. When acquisitions and disposals are stripped out of the results, revenue grew by 6.5% compared with 4% last year.
New revenue came from electronic trading, sales of data products and new initiatives in consumer media, China and India.
"Our first-quarter results confirm that we have made a strong start to 2007," said the company's chief executive Tom Glocer. "Reuters continues to benefit from the focused investment we announced with Core Plus.
"The early indications from [foreign exchange joint venture] FXMarketSpace are encouraging, and we are well positioned to deliver on our full-year expectations."
