Nielsen Holdings announced its third quarter 2017 financial results. Revenues were $1.641 billion for the third quarter of 2017, up 4.5 percent, or 3.6 percent on a constant currency basis, compared to the third quarter of 2016.
“Once again, our results reflect revenue growth and margin expansion in a challenging environment. Our Watch business delivered broad-based growth, highlighted by a strong quarter in Audience Measurement of Video and Text and Marketing Effectiveness. In our Buy Segment, revenue remains soft as a result of the challenging fast moving consumer goods environment in the U.S. However, growth and margins continue to improve in the emerging markets,” said Nielsen CEO Mitch Barns.
Barns continued, “In Watch, Total Audience remains our priority as we drive adoption and arm our clients with the critical tools and data they need. Within our Buy business, we continue to invest behind the Connected System, coverage, and granularity. Overall, we remain focused on investing and innovating for growth and efficiency across our company.”
