US— Nielsen’s first quarter results show revenue up 8.9% to $1.3bn, but with a $181m loss for the period due to $206m of costs related to the company’s initial public offering (IPO) in January.
Its consumer purchase data arm grew 9.8% to $815m, with operating income up $2m year-on-year to $64m.
Media measurement revenue increased 6.4% to $431m and operating income rose 15% to $82m.
Nielsen raised $1.75bn through its IPO and an accompanying bond offering, with the money used to pay down debt.
