Public prices involving Informa (Taylor & Francis)
- Taylor & Francis (Informa) incremental non-recurring AI data licensing revenue in the first half of 2025, including a new 2025 contract with a different, undisclosed LLM customer (academic books and content)
The seller's own finance director on its results call. Informa would not name the customer or the terms ('fairly under wraps'); its 2025 annual report adds only that it signed a further data access contract with another AI technology provider and that non-recurring data revenue was lower than 2024's $75m+.
