These ongoing headwinds reinforce the validity of our three priorities and we continue to execute our strategy and diversify revenues. Actions include growing off-platform audiences, expanding video content and successfully launching premium subscriptions which are now live across 11 sites. Print revenue decreased 6.6%, with circulation and advertising revenues remaining reliable, supported by a cover price increase and strong promotional activity,’ Reach adds. ---------- Serica Energy PLC, down 6.5% at 266.48p, 12-month range 121.80p-297.60p.
