The Financial Times Group continued its run of record revenue in 2025, growing by 5% to £566m, reports Charlotte Tobitt of Press Gazette.

Tobitt reports, “Operating profit grew by 23% to £51.8m year on year.

“FT Group has grown revenue every year since 2017 with the exception of the Covid-hit year of 2020.

“These global figures were revealed in consolidated and unaudited figures shared internally and seen by Press Gazette.

“Last year marked the tenth anniversary of the FT being wholly owned by private Japanese firm Nikkei, which does not publish any global financial figures for the news group. This means this internal performance report provides the best indicator of the 137-year-old newsbrand’s financial health.

“Across the whole business the FT Group now claims to have around 3.5 million people paying for its content and events globally.”
