Springer Nature reports strong start to 2025

Springer Nature, a leading global publisher of research, today released strong results for the first three months of its financial year 2025. Revenue grew to €450 million, representing a 6% increase on an underlying [1] basis compared to the same period last year. Adjusted operating profit reached €108 million, equating to underlying [1] growth of 11%, which was mainly the result of positive revenue development during the quarter.

Frank Vrancken Peeters, CEO of Springer Nature, said: “These strong first-quarter results reflect the fact that we continue to successfully deliver on our strategy to grow sustainably and to add value to our communities. I am particularly pleased with the growth in the amount of content we are making immediately open for all to use, while continuing to invest in people and technology, and to safeguard research integrity.”

In the reported period, Research was a key contributor to Springer Nature’s performance seeing an underlying [1] revenue growth of 7%. This was led by a strong performance in open access (OA) including an increase of about 25% [2] on prior year in published articles in its full open access (FOA) journals. Fourteen new transformative agreements were also agreed, taking the total to 80, further driving the global OA transition. In addition, around 90% of contract renewals for 2025 have already been completed.
