Lord Michael Heseltine, chairman of Haymarket, said: "Within our consumer media division, the core print markets are unquestionably slowing down through a combination of migration online, increased competition on the bookstalls and an increasingly competitive ad market.
"The digital age is transforming the media marketplace and significant parts of the traditional publishing industry have already, and will continue, to migrate to digital media."
In its consumer media division, Eve magazine registered two consecutive periods of circulation growth and is up 5.3% over the year to 172,419. FourFourTwo recorded its largest ABC to date in the first half of 2006 at 111,406.

The consumer exhibitions division strengthened its position as the leading organiser of consumer exhibitions in the UK, including BBC Good Food Show and BBC Gardeners' World Live.
Haymarket Business Media enjoyed a 41% increase in revenues from its online activity, where Brand Republic is its biggest title, and a 35% increase in profits from events. Other notable activity included the relaunch of Media Week, Packaging News and the acquisition of Printing World and Packaging Magazine.

We believe a combination of online platforms working in harmony with our print products and live events creates the very strongest editorial offering."Profits were before tax, finance costs, amortisation and disposals.
