Costa Mesa-based Experian Group posted record 29% revenue growth for the six months ended Sept. 30, according to parent company Gus PLC of Britain.
Experian’s North American operation, which offers credit reports and other financial information, showed the strongest growth with a 37% gain in revenue from a year earlier.
Experian’s global business, which makes up 40% of sales, grew by 19% during the period.
Gus, one of Britain’s largest retailers, didn’t disclose sales figures for Experian and its other units. Experian has yearly sales of more than $2 billion.
Experian’s North America business got a boost from acquisitions, which accounted for 19% of the added sales. In April, the company paid $330 million for
Santa Monica-based LowerMyBills.com, which directs users to deals on mortgage loans, auto loans and other expenses.
