AGM Trading Update

 

Trading for the first four months in line with market expectations for the
year(1)

 

M&C Saatchi is pleased to announce a trading update ahead of today's
Annual General Meeting.

 

Like-for-like net revenue is in line with expectations and supportive of the
market's full year outlook. Trading reflects positive growth in our
high-margin Issues and Media specialisms, compensating for a continued
difficult market environment. In recent weeks, the business has delivered
numerous client wins such as UNICEF, Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development
Authority, RAC Motoring Service and Brand USA.

 

Dame Heather Rabbatts, Executive Chair, said:

"Although the global macro and geopolitical situation remains volatile, I am
pleased with the progress that the business has made. We continue to target
net revenue and operating margin growth this year, supported by the momentum
in our high-margin specialisms. Assuming the role of Executive Chair in April
has reinforced my view on the depth of capability and talent that this
business has. Our focus remains, as I highlighted when I took the role, on
simplifying the business, refining our go-to-market offering and unlocking the
Company's intrinsic value to deliver strong sustainable returns for
shareholders, including through our ongoing share buyback programme."
