About Experian

Since then, the company has made a series of strategic acquisitions, which have extended the scope and geographic reach of its activities, such as Serasa in June 2007, which took Experian into Latin America.

Around half of annual revenues are derived from North America and a quarter in UK and Ireland, with substantial activities in EMEA, Latin America and Asia Pacific. The company employs around 15,500 people in 38 countries, supporting clients in more than 65 countries. Its annual sales are US$4.1 billion with EBIT of $938m and net debt of $2.7bn.
