London Stock Exchange Group PLC said Thursday that its performance for the first half of the year has been in line with expectations, and consistent with guidance.

The stock-exchange and financial-information company also said Andrea Remyn Stone is stepping down from her role as group head of data & analytics, for personal reasons.

It added that Group Chief Executive David Schwimmer will lead the unit while the board looks for a replacement to Ms. Stone, who will remain an adviser to the group until she leaves in the autumn.

The company hasn't provided any actual figures. However, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization consensus--a metric that strips out exceptional and other one-off items--is GBP3.43 billion for 2022, taken from FactSet and based on seven analysts' estimates. This compares with GBP3.28 billion in 2021.

Shares at 1007 GMT were down 62 pence, or 0.8%, at 7,638 pence.
