Latin America's organic growth at CER was 27%, while both the UK & Ireland and the Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA)/Asia Pacific regional groups racked up 7% growth. North America's underlying revenue growth was 2%.
"Looking ahead, we expect organic revenue growth for the second half to be at least as strong as the third quarter, while for the year as a whole, we reiterate our expectations of modest margin improvement and strong cash flow conversion," said Don Robert, Chief Executive Officer of Experian.
