Universal Music Group rode out 2020 with a gentle, if significant, revenue uplift: total annual sales across all of its divisions (including publishing and recorded music) rose 4.7% YoY.

 

But the real standout story for UMG last year – perhaps music to the ears of those hoping it will hit a ginormous valuation in the coming months – was its profit performance.
