RELX PLC (RELX) - Canvas Business Model: Value Propositions
You're looking at how RELX PLC delivers value across its core segments as of late 2025. The whole proposition hinges on shifting the business mix toward higher growth analytics and decision tools that deliver enhanced value to customers. Honestly, the numbers from the first half of 2025 show this strategy is working, with underlying revenue growth hitting 7% to reach £4,741m in that period.
Enhanced decision-making and productivity for legal and corporate professionals
For legal professionals, the value is in providing tools that combine legal, regulatory, and business information with powerful analytics to help them achieve justice and fair results. You see this reflected in the Legal division's performance. The underlying revenue growth for the first nine months of 2025 was 9%. This is being powered by platforms like Lexis+ AI, an integrated platform leveraging generative AI, which is seeing continued successful growth. To give you a sense of scale, there are more than 1.1m Lexis+ users across nine countries, including the US, Canada, and the UK. That's a lot of people using the tools to be more productive.
Risk mitigation via deeply embedded, AI-enabled fraud and identity solutions
In the Risk segment, the value proposition is about combining public and industry-specific content with advanced technology to evaluate and predict risk, which includes fraud and identity solutions. This segment saw underlying revenue growth of 8% year-to-date in the first nine months of 2025, driven by these 'deeply embedded,' AI-enabled analytics and decision tools. Think about the customer base here; RELX does business with 9 of the world's top ten banks and 23 of the world's top 25 insurers. For example, a new location intelligence tool for commercial property underwriting, launched in June 2025, reportedly delivers over 20 times the lift in risk assessment accuracy. That's a concrete example of risk mitigation in action.
Advancing science and improving health outcomes with trusted data and tools
The Scientific, Technical & Medical (STM) segment helps researchers advance scientific knowledge and supports healthcare professionals in improving patient lives. The underlying revenue growth for STM in the first nine months of 2025 was 5%, driven by a shift toward higher value analytics and tools. A key metric here is their contribution to global research quality; they help ensure quality research accelerates progress for society by helping validate, improve, and disseminate over 17% of the world's scientific articles. Renewals and new sales were ahead of the prior year across segments.
High-quality, recurring electronic revenue streams (H1 2025 electronic revenue grew +7%)
A major part of the value is the high-quality, recurring nature of the revenue, which is heavily weighted toward electronic delivery. For the first half of 2025, the electronic revenue grew +7%, matching the group's overall underlying revenue growth of +7%. The group's adjusted operating margin improved to 34.8% in H1 2025, up from 34.1% the prior year, showing cost management below revenue growth. The company achieved 100% adjusted cash flow conversion in the period. Here's the quick math: the shift to analytics and decision tools is clearly improving profitability.
Market access and transaction completion through global exhibition platforms
The Exhibitions segment provides market access, helping customers connect face-to-face and digitally to learn about markets, source products, and complete transactions. This segment showed strong ongoing growth, with underlying revenue growth of 8% in the first nine months of 2025. In 2024, RX (the exhibitions arm) ran 282 face-to-face events in 25 countries, welcoming over 6m participants. They are also embedding digital tools; the Mercury event registration system has been deployed at 100 events to recommend exhibitors to visitors. RELX serves customers in more than 180 countries and territories overall.
You can see the segment performance that underpins these value propositions in the table below:
| Segment | H1 2025 Underlying Revenue Growth | 9M 2025 Underlying Revenue Growth | Key Value Driver Mentioned |
| Risk | Not explicitly stated for H1 | 8% | AI-enabled analytics for risk evaluation |
| Legal | Not explicitly stated for H1 | 9% | Generative AI platform success (Lexis+ AI) |
| Scientific, Technical & Medical (STM) | Not explicitly stated for H1 | 5% | Validating/disseminating over 17% of world's scientific articles |
| Exhibitions | Not explicitly stated for H1 | 8% | 282 events in 25 countries in 2024 |
The focus on high-growth tools is evident when you look at the segment growth rates compared to the group's 7% underlying revenue growth for H1 2025. The company is also actively investing in this value-creation strategy, completing three acquisitions for a total consideration of £262m in the first half of 2025. If you're assessing the portfolio health, the growth in Legal at 9% and Risk at 8% (YTD) is definitely outpacing the group average.
The core value drivers RELX PLC is pushing are:
- Driving growth through analytics and decision tools.
- Helping lawyers promote the rule of law and achieve justice.
- Assisting businesses and governments to prevent fraud.
- Supporting researchers to advance scientific knowledge.
- Enabling customers to get better results and be more productive.

RELX PLC (RELX) - Canvas Business Model: Customer Relationships
You're looking at how RELX PLC keeps its professional and business customers locked in, which is key since their business model leans heavily on recurring revenue from analytics and decision tools. The relationship management here is definitely tiered based on the customer segment.
High-touch, direct sales and renewal management for enterprise subscriptions
For the big enterprise deals, especially within the Risk division, RELX PLC uses a direct sales approach. This isn't about a simple click-to-buy; it's about embedding complex solutions like fraud and identity tools. These high-value relationships are evidenced by the fact that subscriptions for enterprise clients in this area now regularly exceed $10,000 annually, which is a 100% increase in average price since 2019. The company's products often account for less than 1% of a customer's total cost base but have a significant impact on their economics, which helps secure renewals. RELX PLC generally prices these offerings on a subscription basis, often under multi-year contracts. The H1 2025 underlying revenue growth of 7% to £4,741 million shows this sales engine is running well.
Embedded, mission-critical tools leading to high customer switching costs
The stickiness comes from making the tools indispensable. In the Scientific, Technical & Medical segment, Elsevier's AI-driven platforms, like Scopus and Knovel, are treated as infrastructure by researchers. This results in client retention rates above 30% for these specific tools. Similarly, in Legal, the rollout of Lexis+AI and the new Protégé assistant means customers are integrating next-generation AI into core workflows. When your system helps lawyers promote the rule of law or helps businesses prevent fraud, the cost and disruption of switching vendors become prohibitive. This embedded nature is what drives the shift to a higher quality growth profile.
Dedicated customer support and training for complex analytics platforms
Supporting these complex, mission-critical platforms requires significant investment in people and technology. RELX PLC has over 36,000 employees globally, with more than 40% based in North America, supporting this global customer base across more than 180 countries. Furthermore, the company's annual technology spend is approximately $1.9 billion, which directly funds the platforms and the support infrastructure needed to keep them reliable and scalable. This investment underpins the dedicated support necessary for platforms that deliver predictive analytics and regulatory intelligence.
Self-service digital access and continuous product updates
The majority of RELX PLC's products are predominantly delivered in electronic format, facilitating self-service access for many users. The company's strategy emphasizes continuous process innovation to manage cost growth below revenue growth, which naturally feeds into frequent product enhancements. The focus on analytics and decision tools, which saw underlying revenue growth of 7% in the first nine months of 2025, is directly tied to the value derived from these continuous digital updates. The overall adjusted operating margin improvement to 34.8% in H1 2025 reflects the efficiency gained from this digital delivery model.
Here's a quick look at some key metrics that reflect the scale and depth of these customer relationships as of late 2025:
| Metric | Value/Rate | Segment/Context |
|---|---|---|
| H1 2025 Underlying Revenue Growth | 7% | Group Total |
| Enterprise Subscription Value (Annual) | Over $10,000 | Risk Division (100% increase since 2019) |
| Client Retention Rate | 30%+ | STM Division AI-driven platforms |
| Total Employees | Over 36,000 | Group Scale |
| Annual Technology Spend | $1.9 billion | Supporting platforms and innovation |
| H1 2025 Adjusted Operating Margin | 34.8% | Reflecting efficiency in service delivery |
The success in Legal, with strong renewals and new sales across key segments, shows that even in traditional fields, the AI-backed tools are creating new relationship dynamics.
RELX PLC (RELX) - Canvas Business Model: Channels
You're mapping out how RELX PLC gets its analytics and decision tools to customers. It's a mix of high-tech digital delivery and traditional event presence, honestly.
Direct digital delivery platforms are the core engine now. Electronic revenue represented a massive 83% of the group's total revenue in 2024. This digital focus is clearly paying off, with electronic revenue growing by +7% in the first half of 2025. The Legal segment, which houses LexisNexis, saw its underlying revenue grow by +9% year-to-date (YTD) for the first nine months of 2025, partly due to the success of Lexis+ AI. The Risk division, using its digital fraud and identity services, posted an underlying revenue growth of +8% YTD in the same period. Elsevier, part of Scientific, Technical & Medical, contributed to that segment's +5% underlying revenue growth YTD in the first nine months of 2025.
The revenue structure heavily favors recurring access, which is a direct result of these digital channels. Over 50% of RELX PLC's total revenue comes from recurring subscription models, giving you a very stable base.
Here's a look at the segment revenue base from 2024 and the recent growth trends that flow through these channels:
| Market Segment | 2024 Revenue (£m) | Underlying Revenue Growth (9M 2025 YTD) |
| Risk | 3,245 | +8% |
| Scientific, Technical & Medical | 3,051 | +5% |
| Legal | 1,899 | +9% |
| Exhibitions | 1,239 | +8% |
The Global sales force targeting professional and corporate customers is essential for embedding these high-value analytics tools, especially in the Risk and Legal segments. While we don't have a headcount number, the strong growth in Business Services within Risk, driven by Financial Crime Compliance and Fraud & Identity solutions with strong new sales, points to an active direct sales effort. Similarly, the Legal segment's double-digit growth in Law Firms & Corporate Legal, fueled by AI platforms, suggests direct engagement with key corporate buyers.
Physical and digital trade shows and conferences, managed by the Exhibitions division (RX Global), remain a key channel for brand visibility and customer interaction. In 2024, this segment generated revenue of £1.2 billion, which was 11% of the group's total revenue. For the first nine months of 2025, the underlying revenue growth for Exhibitions was +8%, reflecting both the return of in-person events and progress on digital initiatives for event customers.
The channel mix also still includes Third-party distributors for print and print-related products, though this is shrinking fast. The overall group revenue split shows that print revenue declined in 2024, while electronic revenue grew, leading to the 83% electronic revenue share.

This cost base is essential for maintaining the leading content and data sets that underpin their analytics platforms.

Capital expenditure for the full year 2024 was £484 million, which notably included £464 million capitalized in development costs, reflecting sustained investment in new products.

RELX PLC (RELX) - Canvas Business Model: Revenue Streams
You're looking at how RELX PLC brings in the money, and honestly, it's all about high-value data and decision tools now. The core of their revenue engine is definitely shifting away from older models.
The total revenue for the first half of 2025 hit £4,741 million. That's a solid start, building on the full-year 2024 revenue of £9,434m.
Here's the quick math on how the main segments contributed to that £9,434m in 2024, which sets the stage for the current streams:
| Segment | 2024 Revenue (£m) | Approximate % of 2024 Total Revenue |
| Risk | £3,245 | 34% |
| Scientific, Technical & Medical (STM) | £3,051 | 32% |
| Legal | £1,899 | N/A |
| Exhibitions | £1,239 | N/A |
The primary revenue stream is subscription and recurring fees for analytics and decision tools. This is where the value is concentrated, as management keeps pointing to the shift toward these higher-value offerings across the board.
The Risk segment revenue is the largest at 34% of 2024 total. This stream is heavily reliant on deeply embedded, AI-enabled analytics and decision tools, especially in Financial Crime Compliance and Digital Fraud & Identity Solutions.
Also significant, the revenue from STM segment is 32% of 2024 total. This is increasingly driven by recurring revenue from Databases, Tools & Electronic Reference, moving away from lower-margin print.
You still see revenue coming from the Exhibitions business, which includes fees from exhibition space sales, sponsorships, and attendee registration. This segment saw strong underlying growth in H1 2025, reflecting the return of face-to-face events.
The Legal segment also contributes substantially, with its revenue mix leaning heavily toward subscription models:
- Transactional revenue made up 16% of Legal revenue in H1 2025.
- Subscription revenue accounted for 84% of Legal revenue in H1 2025.
If onboarding for new tools takes 14+ days, churn risk rises, defintely something to watch in the recurring revenue base.
