RELX (pronounced "Rel-ex") is a British[2] multinational information and analytics company headquartered in London, United Kingdom. the comprising businesses that provide scientific, technical and medical information and analytics; legal information and analytics; decision-making tools; and organise exhibitions. It operates in 40 countries and serves customers in over 180 nations.[3] It was previously known as Reed Elsevier. The company employs about 33,000 staff, of whom about 9,000 are IT professionals.[4]

The company is publicly listed, with shares traded on the London Stock Exchange, Amsterdam Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange (ticker symbols: London: REL, Amsterdam: REN, New York: RELX). The company is one of the constituents of the FTSE 100 Index, Financial Times Global 500 and Euronext 100 Index.

History

The company, which was previously known as Reed Elsevier, came into being in 1992, as a result of the merger of Reed International, a British trade book and magazine publisher, and Elsevier, a Netherlands-based scientific publisher.[5] The company re-branded itself as RELX in February 2015.[6] RELX has outperformed the FTSE 100 index the past 10 years after moving to the data and analytics space.[7]

Reed International

In 1895, Albert E. Reed established a newsprint manufacturing operation at Tovil Mill near Maidstone, Kent.[8] The Reed family were Methodists and encouraged good working conditions for their staff in the then-dangerous print trade.[9]

In 1965 Reed Group, as it was then known, became a conglomerate, creating its Decorative Products Division with the purchase of Crown Paints, Polycell and Sanderson's wallpaper and DIY decorating interests.[10]

In 1970, Reed Group merged with the International Publishing Corporation and the company name was changed to Reed International Limited.[8] The company continued to grow by merging with other publishers and produced high quality trade journals as IPC Business Press Ltd and women's and other consumer magazines as IPC magazines Ltd.[8]

In 1985 the company decided to rationalise its operations, focusing on publishing and selling off its other interests. Sanderson was sold to WestPoint Pepperell, Inc. of Georgia, United States, that year,[10] while Crown Paint and Polycell were sold to Williams Holdings in 1987.[11] The company's paper and packaging production operations were bundled together to form Reedpack and sold to private equity firm Cinven in 1988.[12]

Amsterdam headquarters of Elsevier

Elsevier NV

In 1880, Jacobus George Robbers started a publishing company called NV Uitgeversmaatschappij Elsevier (Elsevier Publishing Company NV) to publish literary classics and the encyclopedia Winkler Prins.[8] Robbers named the company after the old Dutch printers family Elzevir,[8] which, for example, published the works of Erasmus in 1587. Elsevier NV originally was based in Rotterdam but moved to Amsterdam in the late 1880s.[8]

Up to the 1930s, Elsevier remained a small family-owned publisher, with no more than ten employees. After the war it launched the weekly Elsevier magazine, which turned out to be very profitable. A rapid expansion followed. Elsevier Press Inc. started in 1951 in Houston, Texas, USA, and in 1962 publishing offices were opened in London and New York. Multiple mergers in the 1970s led to name changes, settling at "Elsevier Scientific Publishers" in 1979. In 1991, two years before the merger with Reed, Elsevier acquired Pergamon Press in the UK.[13]

Cahners Publishing

Cahners Publishing, founded by Norman Cahners, was the largest U.S. publisher of trade[14] or business magazines as of his death in 1986. Reed Elsevier acquired the company in 1977.[15]

Reed Elsevier and RELX

During the 2010s, RELX accelerated its transformation from a print publisher to a digital business information and data company through its acquisition strategy.[16] The company typically spends about £300m on about 25 acquisitions a year.[17][18]

Significant divestments

In February 1997, Reed Elsevier divested its trade publishing group (including Heinemann, Methuen, Secker & Warburg, Sinclair-Stevenson, Mandarin, Minerva and Cedar) to Random House.[50] In 1998, Reed Elsevier sold the children's divisions of Heinemann, Methuen, Hamlyn and Mammoth to the Egmont Group.[51]

In February 2007, the company announced its intention to sell Harcourt, its educational publishing division.[52] On 4 May 2007 Pearson, the international education and information company, announced that it had agreed to acquire Harcourt Assessment and Harcourt Education International from Reed Elsevier for $950m in cash.[53] In July 2007, Reed Elsevier announced its agreement to sell the remaining Harcourt Education business, including international imprint Heinemann, to Houghton Mifflin for $4 billion in cash and stock.[54]

Between 2006 and 2019, in 65 separate deals, the company systematically sold its 300 print, business to business magazine titles, reducing the proportion of print revenues from 51% to 9%.[55] Advertising, which had been the largest source of revenues when RELX was founded in 1992, represented just 1% of sales in 2018.[56]

In July 2009, Reed Elsevier announced its intention to sell most of its North American trade publications, including Publishers Weekly, Broadcasting & Cable, and Multichannel News, although it planned to retain Variety.[57]

In April 2010, Reed Elsevier announced that it had sold 21 US magazines to other owners in recent months, and that an additional 23 US trade magazines, including Restaurants & Institutions, Hotels, and Trade Show Week would cease publication. The closures were mostly due to the weak economy including an advertising slump.[58]

Variety, the company's last remaining North American title, was sold in October 2012.[59]

In 2014, Reed Business Information sold BuyerZone, an online marketplace; emedia, an American provider of research for IT buyers and vendors; and a majority stake in Reed Construction Data, a provider of construction data.[60][61][62]

In 2016, RELX sold Elsevier Weekly and BeleggersBelangen in the Netherlands.[63]

In 2017 the company sold New Scientist magazine.[64]

In December 2019, RBI announced plans to sell the Farmers Weekly magazine title, website and related platforms, events and awards to MA Agriculture Limited, part of the Mark Allen Group.[67]

Operations and market segments

RELX’s 3 largest business areas; STM, risk and legal, performed slightly better in 2020 than they did the previous year. These areas made up 95% of the company’s revenue in 2020 and are expected to grow revenues and profits in 2021 according to the FTSE 100 group.[68]

Scientific, Technical & Medical

RELX's Scientific, Technical & Medical business, which operates under the name of Elsevier, provides information and analytics that help institutions and professionals progress science, advance healthcare and improve performance.[69]

Elsevier is the world's largest publisher of academic articles. It publishes about 500,000 articles a year in about 2,500 journals.[76][77][78] Its best-known titles are The Lancet and Cell. The STM division, which includes Elsevier, launched 115 new journals in 2020.[19] Most of the journals were author-pays open access titles leading to a total of 500.[19]

In 1995, Forbes magazine (wrongly) predicted Elsevier would be "the first victim of the internet" as it was disrupted and disintermediated by the World Wide Web.[79]

Risk is a global data and analytics business that provides data and technology services, analytics, predictive insights, and fraud prevention for a wide range of industries.[80][81] It is headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia (part of the Atlanta metropolitan area) and has offices throughout the United States, and in Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong SAR, India, Ireland, Israel, Philippines and the United Kingdom.[82] The company's customers include businesses within the insurance, financial services, healthcare and corporate sectors as well as the local, state and federal government, law enforcement and public safety.[83]

In August 2020, RELX announced Sir Anthony Habgood would retire as Chair, to be replaced by Paul Walker in the first half of 2021.[95]

Corporate affairs

Corporate strategy

The predictability of the company's results in recent years has led to a re-rating of the shares.[96][97][98]

Between 2001 and 2019, the company's shares outperformed the FTSE 100 every year, the only company to achieve this.[99] While Sir Anthony Habgood was chairman between 2009 and 2019, RELX shares quadrupled, making it one of the 15 most valuable companies in the FTSE 100.[100]

Between 2009 and 2019, RELX transformed itself from a publishing house into an information and data group by selling off its business and trade magazines, reducing its dependence on print and investing analytics.[101][102] In 2019, Barron's said the company had transformed itself from a media company to a high-margin tech player.[103] In 2007, half of RELX's revenues came from print and 15 percent from advertising; they are now 9 per cent and less than 1 per cent respectively.[104]

RELX was named Britain's most admired media group in 2019.[105]

Controversy

Boycott

Reed Elsevier has been criticised for the high prices of its journals and services, especially those published by Elsevier. It has also supported SOPA, PIPA and the Research Works Act, although it no longer supports the last. Because of this, members of the scientific community have boycotted Elsevier journals. In January 2012, the boycott gained an online pledge and petition (The Cost of Knowledge) initiated by mathematician and Fields medalist Sir Timothy Gowers.[117] The movement has received support from noted science bloggers, such as biologist Jonathan Eisen.[118] Between 2012 and November 2015, about 15,391 scientists signed The Cost of Knowledge boycott. In 2016, Elsevier received 1.5 million article submissions.[119]

2019 UC system negotiations

On 28 February 2019 following long negotiations, the University of California announced it would be terminating all subscriptions with Elsevier.[120]

Privacy

As a data broker Reed Elsevier collected, used, and sold data on millions of consumers.[121] In 2005, a security breach occurred through a recently purchased subsidiary, Seisint, which allowed identity thieves to steal the records of at least 316,000 people.[122] The database contained names, current and prior addresses, dates of birth, drivers license numbers and Social Security numbers, among other data obtained from credit reporting agencies and other sources. In 2008 the company settled an action taken against it by the Federal Trade Commission for multiple failures of security practice in how the data was stored and protected. The settlement required Reed Elsevier and Seisint to establish and maintain a comprehensive security program to protect nonpublic personal information.[122]

Defence exhibitions

Between 2005 and 2007, members of the medical and scientific communities, which purchase and use many journals published by Reed Elsevier, agitated for the company to cut its links to the arms trade. Two UK academics, Tom Stafford of Sheffield University and Nick Gill, launched petitions calling for it to stop organising arms fairs.[123] A subsidiary, Spearhead, organised defence shows, including an event where it was reported that cluster bombs and extremely powerful riot control equipment were offered for sale.[124][125] In February 2007 Richard Smith, former editor of the British Medical Journal, published an editorial in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine arguing that Reed Elsevier's involvement in both the arms trade and medical publishing constituted a conflict of interest.[126] Subsequently, in June the company announced that they would be exiting the defence exhibition business during the second half of the year.[127]

Collaboration with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

In November 2019, legal scholars and human rights activists called on RELX to cease work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement because their product LexisNexis directly contributes to the deportation of illegal immigrants.[128]
