UK newspaper group Trinity Mirror said today that it expected half-year and full-year adjusted results in line with its expectations.
The owner of the Daily Mirror, which has been cutting costs to counter a fall in circulation and print advertising, said group revenue was expected to fall about 9% on a like-for-like basis.
Trinity, which also publishes the Sunday Mirror and The People, said publishing revenue was expected to fall 10%, while print revenue was seen down 12%, partially offset by a 5% growth in its digital unit.
Publishing print advertising revenue fell 21% for the 26-week period to July 2, while circulation revenue fell 6%, the company said.
Trinity also said it had set aside an additional £7.5m for the settlement of civil claims related to phone hacking.
