Pearson produces partnerships

Published on March 6, 2000; Published on February 13, 2011

British media company Pearson on Monday unveiled new partnerships to boost its Internet presence and said strong growth in its educational-publishing arm and Financial Times Group lifted 1999 pre-tax profit 15 per cent.

Topics :: America Online , Simon & Schuster

Pearson - whose interests span education, books, magazines and TV - said it had reached a preliminary agreement with America Online over its new education network and had also signed deals with various educational Internet companies.

Pearson bought Simon & Schuster's textbook division in November 1998.

London-based Pearson said pre-tax profit before one-time items and goodwill rose to 402 million pounds ($635 million) in 1999 from 350 million pounds the previous year. That was in line with the consensus among analysts of 399 million pounds pretax.
