Experian J.P. Morgan 2025 Ultimate Services Investor Conference summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Financial services and platform strategy
Strong organic growth in financial services, especially in North America, driven by improved lending momentum and the expanding Ascend platform.
Over 20 of the top 25 U.S. financial institutions and two-thirds of U.K. lending touch Ascend modules, with plans to expand to tier two and three customers and new geographies in the coming year.
Ascend is evolving into the central distribution platform for all products, integrating fraud and decisioning, and offering unique cross-product optimization.
Ascend faces limited direct competition, with its breadth and integration considered generations ahead of rivals.
Growth is driven more by innovation and new value creation in data signals than by taking market share from competitors.
Competitive landscape and pricing
Recent regulatory changes have ended FICO's monopoly in secured credit, opening the market to score competition and incentivizing adoption of VantageScore.
VantageScore is offered free with FICO in bundled products, and as a standalone at a 50% discount to FICO, supporting lender transition and regulatory goals.
Ecosystem relationships are often "frenemy" in nature, with ongoing partnerships and competition, especially with FICO.
AI, productivity, and margin development
Proprietary data assets and scale distribution are key defensible advantages, with AI accelerating value extraction from vast data sets.
AI adoption has rapidly increased developer productivity, with 11,000 technologists and 7,000 product developers leveraging advanced coding tools.
AI-driven productivity gains contributed to strong organic margin growth, offsetting acquisition dilution and dual run costs.
Forward guidance targets 30-50 basis points margin growth, underpinned by cost flowbacks and acquisition rescaling, with flexibility for further investment.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
