The education, book and information publishing group said 2007 had been an "outstanding" year at the FT and a record year across its whole business, with overall revenues up 4% to £4.16bn.
It revealed that the FT's website has grown its number of monthly unique users by 30% to 5.7m.
Since the website changed its access model to offer more content to non-paying subscribers in October, it has attracted 150,000 new registered users.
Pearson did not provide ad revenue figures specifically for the FT, but said ad revenues climbed 10% at FT Publishing -- the division that houses the FT and other publishing assets such as website Mergermarket and business books imprint FT Business.
It claimed this growth continued into the current year, but said future advertising trends remained difficult to predict.
The division's 2007 revenues were £344m, up 23%, and its adjusted operating profit was £56m, up 107%.
Pearson slimmed down its international newspaper assets by selling France's Les Echos in December and its 50% share in FT Deutschland in January.
Marjorie Scardino, chief executive, said: "This is another record set of results and an excellent performance from every part of Pearson.
"We continue to reshape Pearson into a more digital, more international and more efficient company, and those changes make us confident that 2008 will be another good year."
