                          Trading update, second half


Experian, the global information services company, today issues an update on
trading for the six months to 31 March 2008.

Commenting on the performance of Experian, Don Robert, Chief Executive Officer,
said:

'Experian's strong portfolio of businesses enabled the group to deliver a good
second-half performance, despite continuing marketplace challenges in the US and
the UK. Total revenue growth was 21% for the second half, with organic revenue
growth of 2%. For the full year we expect double-digit EBIT growth, unchanged
from our previous expectations.

'Looking ahead, we expect good performances in new geographies and across many
business lines. Although we do not plan on short-term improvement in the US and
UK financial services environment, and are facing strong comparables in the
first quarter, our cost efficiency programme is on track and we remain confident
about the outlook.'

(1) Continuing activities exclude the contributions of MetaReward, UK account
    processing and Loyalty Solutions
(2) Experian is reporting in US dollars
(3) Latin America total growth at actual exchange rates for the six months ended
    31 March 2008 was 7,306% and total growth at constant exchange rates was
    6,119%


In the six months to 31 March 2008, revenue from continuing activities at
Experian increased by 15% at constant exchange rates. Group organic revenue
growth was 2% (Q3 2%, Q4 1%). There was good organic revenue growth at Decision
Analytics and Interactive, both up 7%. There were modest organic revenue
declines in Credit Services and Marketing Services of 1% each. Acquisitions
contributed 13% to revenue growth. Net debt at the end of the period was $2.7bn.

North America
Revenue in North America for the six months ended 31 March 2008 increased by 2%
in total. Organic growth was 1%, with Hitwise (acquired in June 2007)
contributing the balance.

Market conditions in US financial services continued to be challenging,
particularly in mortgage and pre-screen. Growth in automotive and business
information helped mitigate weakness in consumer information, resulting in a
decline in organic revenue of 3% at Credit Services. Decision Analytics
performed well against a very strong comparable, delivering 3% organic growth
and reflecting a number of new business wins in the telecommunications and
energy sectors. Marketing Services continued to benefit from the mix shift to
new media with 3% organic revenue growth, while at Interactive organic revenue
growth was 3%, with continued strength in Consumer Direct and PriceGrabber
offsetting further weakness at LowerMyBills.

Latin America
Revenue for Latin America in the six-month period to 31 March 2008 was $221m
(prior year $3m), including contributions from Serasa (acquired in June 2007)
and Informarketing (acquired in April 2007). Organic revenue growth was 40%,
reflecting the performance of Decision Analytics only.

Serasa performed well during the period, in line with the buy plan, reflecting
the strong market environment for credit in Brazil. The integration of Serasa
has now been completed.

UK and Ireland
Revenue from continuing activities for the six months ended 31 March 2008
increased by 7% at constant exchange rates. Organic revenue rose 1%, with the
acquisitions of Tallyman (acquired in May 2007), Hitwise, The pH Group (acquired
in July 2007) and N4 Solutions (acquired in July 2007) contributing the balance.

While the environment for UK financial services continues to be uncertain,
strength in business information helped mitigate weakness in consumer
information and as a result Credit Services' organic revenue declined modestly
by 1%. At Decision Analytics organic revenue rose 1%, with some improvement in
pipeline conversion, offsetting weak application processing activity. Marketing
Services continues to be affected by lower levels of spend by financial services
clients, with organic revenue down 7% in the half. Interactive performed very
strongly, as higher volumes of new CreditExpert members contributed to a near
doubling of revenues.

EMEA/Asia Pacific
At constant exchange rates, revenue in EMEA/Asia Pacific increased by 12% in the
six-month period to 31 March 2008. Organic revenue growth was 6%, with
acquisitions, mainly Emailing Solution (acquired in May 2007), Tallyman and
Hitwise, contributing the balance.

Organic revenue growth was 1% at Credit Services in the half. Decision Analytics
performed strongly, with organic revenue growth of 24%, reflecting good
performances in both Europe and Asia Pacific. Marketing Services again performed
well, particularly across Asia Pacific, with organic growth up 10%.

Experian will issue its full year results announcement on 21 May 2008.
