Daily Mail and General Trust has reported its third quarter revenues are up 5 percent over the same time last year, thanks to ad revenue declines being offset by circulation increases and growth in the business division at its national newspapers, Brand Republic reported Wednesday.

The Daily Mail newspaper owner's overall revenues were up, due to its business-to-business divisions seeing growth.

DMG Information, DMGT's investment and business-to-business information company management division, saw overall revenues up, with revenues for the quarter at £78 million, a 6 percent increase over last year, Brand Republic reported.

Circulation revenues for Associated Newspapers, which publishes the Daily Mail, Evening Standard and Metro, 4 percent higher than the same quarter last year, mainly due to the Daily Mail increasing its cover price in April from 45 pence to 50 pence. Circulation revenues make up almost half of the company's print revenues, according to Brand Republic.

Overall revenues for Associated Newspapers for the third quarter were at £243 million, a 0.4 percent increase over the same quarter in 2007.

Northcliffe Media, the company's regional newspaper division, was the only division to suffer, with revenues for the quarter down 7 percent, and revenues down 5 percent to £102 million, not including acquisitions and disposals made last year, Brand Republic reported.
