120th listing anniversary Brill

Brill sounds gong for 120-years listed anniversary

This year, academic publisher Brill (ticker symbol: BRILL) not only celebrates its 333rd birthday but also the fact that the company has been listed at the Amsterdam Stock Exchange for 120 years. On behalf of the new Management Team, which will help Brill develop its digital future, Peter Coebergh, EVP Sales & Marketing, sounds the gong.

Brill’s shares have been listed at Euronext Amsterdam since 1997. Since then, revenue has increased steadily from 7.9 million euros to 30.8 million euros in 2015, as a result of organic growth and acquisitions. Investors who purchased the share at its first listing in 1997 have quadrupled their investment and achieved a compound average total shareholder return of 7%.

Brill’s publishing portfolio consists of over 20 subject areas in the Humanities, Social Sciences and International Law. Apart from traditional print publications, Brill has been innovative in electronic publishing: the 265 journals and close to 1000 new books and reference works published each year are available both in print and electronic form. In 2015, almost half of the revenue was created through digital products.
