New York, NY, July 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

• Total revenue, including billable expenses, was $2.67 billion
• Revenue before billable expenses ("net revenue") was $2.33 billion, a decrease of 2.0%, with organic decrease of 1.7%
• Reported net income was $265.5 million
• Adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges was $330.2 million
• Margin of adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges was 14.2% on revenue before billable expenses

Philippe Krakowsky, CEO of IPG:

“During the second quarter, we saw the same puts-and-takes on revenue that we have identified and discussed since the beginning of the year. Notably, among our client sectors, tech continued to weigh significantly on growth. In addition, modestly heightened macro uncertainty impacted certain of our specialty assets and traditional consumer agencies. Concurrently, we continued to deliver strong growth in areas of the business that have been important drivers of our success over several years, namely our media offerings and the healthcare sector. We also saw solid growth in disciplines such as public relations and our experiential offerings during the quarter. Taken together, these factors resulted in Q2 organic revenue performance that is inconsistent with our expectations and our long-term track record of strong growth. Despite this challenge, our operating discipline was evident in our ability to deliver a favorable margin result.

“Given our first six months, we are revising our full-year organic growth expectation to 1% to 2%, while remaining fully committed to our existing margin target for the year of 16.7%, which represents margin expansion relative to 2022. Our new business performance to date this year has been exceptionally strong, featuring wins in many of the industry’s largest and most competitive reviews. These speak to the strength of our offerings, underpinned by our foundational data and technology infrastructure, and will provide strong tailwinds as we move into the back half of this year and even more so in 2024.”
