Pearson plc (PSO) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

Increase adoption of AI-powered Study Prep within existing US Higher Education accounts.

Pearson plc saw its Higher Education division achieve 6% sales growth in Q1 2025, directly linked to the successful implementation and monetization of AI-enhanced study tools for students and educators. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2025, Higher Education sales increased by 2% overall, with US digital subscriptions specifically growing by 2%. This digital uptake is supported by the continued engagement with AI-powered tools like the 'Go Deeper' feature.

Drive enrollment growth in current Virtual Learning schools for the 2025/26 academic year.

The Virtual Learning segment is expected to return to growth for the full year, driven by enrolment increases for the 2025/26 academic year. In the third quarter of 2025, Virtual Learning sales jumped 17% year-on-year. This surge was underpinned by a 13% increase in 2025/26 academic year enrolments in the Fall semester. Pearson successfully opened two new virtual schools for the 2025/26 academic year, bringing the total network to 41 schools across 31 states.

Aggressively convert remaining print users to digital subscriptions like Inclusive Access (up 22% in Q1 2025).

The conversion of print users to digital subscriptions, particularly through the Inclusive Access model, remains a core focus for market penetration in Higher Education. Inclusive Access adoption demonstrated significant momentum, growing by 22% in Q1 2025. By the first half of 2025, Inclusive Access growth was reported at 21%.

Focus marketing spend on core markets to ensure Assessment & Qualifications sales hit the low to mid-single digit growth target.

Pearson plc has set a target for Assessment & Qualifications sales to grow in the low to mid-single digit range for the full year 2025. Performance in the nine months ending September 30, 2025, showed sales growth of 2%, with Q3 sales specifically up 4%. This growth was supported by the return to growth of Pearson VUE and strong international demand.

Use the ongoing £350 million share buyback to signal financial stability to key institutional partners.

Pearson plc commenced its £350 million share buyback programme in March 2025. By April 30, 2025, £65 million of this programme had been executed. The second tranche of £175 million was completed, involving the purchase of 552,321 ordinary shares at an average price of 990.92 pence per share. This action signals confidence in the company's intrinsic value to partners.

Here's a quick look at the segment sales growth comparison for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, versus the prior year:

The overall Group underlying sales growth for the nine-month period was 2%, with stronger growth of 4% seen in the third quarter alone.

Pearson plc (PSO) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Pearson plc expands its existing offerings into new international or corporate markets. This is Market Development in action, focusing on taking proven products to new customers or segments.

The international rollout of the AI-powered Study Prep platform is a prime example of this strategy. Launched commercially globally in the first half of 2025, this AI-enhanced video learning experience now reaches students in several new geographies beyond its initial US base.

• Study Prep now reaches students in India, China, and South Africa, alongside Canada, Brazil, and the UK.
• The platform offers personalized study support across more than 25 academic subjects.
• This digital push aligns with the fact that over 80% of Pearson plc's products are now digital or digitally enabled.

The Pearson Test of English (PTE) expansion is also critical here, though growth is expected to moderate in 2025 due to election-related impacts on immigration rates. Still, the underlying expansion continues. For context, in 2023, the English Language Learning division saw sales of UK£415 million, a 30% increase year-over-year, driven by PTE Academic volumes hitting 1.231 million tests.

To support this, the secure test center network is growing; 30 centers were opened in 2025 so far, bringing the total to 517 locations, with new openings in key markets like China and India. The Pearson English Express Test starts at $70, positioning it 30-40% cheaper than rivals in certain markets.

For existing Vocational Qualifications, Pearson plc is targeting new Enterprise Learning & Skills contracts. The Enterprise Learning & Skills unit, which absorbed Workforce Skills in January 2025, expects sales to grow high single digit in 2025. In 2024, this unit generated £45 million in sales.

A concrete win in this area is the extension of the partnership with the UK's Ministry of Defence. Pearson plc will become one of the British Army's largest apprenticeship partners after winning three new contracts.

• Pearson TQ will now hold six contracts in total with the British Army.
• These programmes deliver training to around 4,000 learners each year across sectors like logistics, healthcare, and engineering.

Leveraging strategic alliances is key to accessing new corporate training markets, which itself was valued at USD 477.72 billion globally in 2025. Pearson plc landed strategic partnerships with AWS and Microsoft in 2024, with a specific collaboration with Microsoft announced in January 2025 to address workforce skilling for the AI-driven economy. The partnership with AWS, announced in February 2025, focuses on expanding cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities to scale learning products.

Here's a look at how the business segments contributed to sales in the last reported full year:

Pearson plc (PSO) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how Pearson plc is driving growth by pushing new products into its established customer bases. This is the Product Development quadrant of the Ansoff Matrix, and the numbers from the first half of 2025 show where the focus is landing.

The overall Group performance for the first half of 2025 saw underlying sales increase by 2% to £1,722m, with underlying adjusted operating profit also up 2% to £242m. Management expects stronger growth in the second half of the year, building on these product innovations.

Furthermore, 25 AI translated titles were made available for Spring semester courses in the International business, expanding reach efficiently.

For the introduction of new AI Literacy Modules, while specific revenue isn't isolated, the broader educational landscape shows a clear need. Research indicates 57% of teachers believe AI will play a bigger role in education in the future. Critically, 42% of schoolteachers specify that AI should be included in teacher training, signaling a direct market for such modules.

The Clinical Assessment product development is showing tangible financial results. This segment is a key driver within the Assessment & Qualifications division, which saw sales up 2% in H1 2025.

• Clinical Assessment sales were up 11% in underlying terms for the six months to June 30, 2025.
• For the nine-month period, Clinical Assessment sales were up 9%.

The Pearson Skilling Suite rollout targets the Enterprise Learning & Skills segment. The goal is to capture high single-digit sales growth, though initial reported growth is more modest. The launch supported the test prep business building in Q1 2025.

Here's how the Enterprise segment performed:

• Enterprise Learning & Skills sales were up 4% in H1 2025.
• In Q1 2025, this segment saw underlying sales growth of 1%.
