Correction to RELX Trading Update

RELX PLC (REL.LN), a global information and analytics firm, on Thursday reported a 2% increase in underlying revenue for the first nine months of the year.

The Anglo-Dutch company said that underlying revenue--which strips out the effects of acquisitions and disposals on a constant-currency basis--grew across all divisions on year.

The company continues to expect modest underlying revenue growth for the full year.

RELX had a 2% increase in underlying revenue at its scientific, technical and medical unit for the first nine months, and said it expects the unit to post modest full-year growth. "RELX Says Nine-Month Underlying Revenue Grew on Year," at 0608 GMT, incorrectly stated that the revenue rise and the guidance were both for RELX as a whole in the first and last paragraphs. The revenue rise and the guidance both refer to the scientific, technical and medical unit alone. The error was also present in "*RELX Underlying Rev. +2% in the First Nine Months" at 0600 GMT.
