Arthur Sadoun, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, presented the highlights of 2024 and the outlook for 2025:

“2024 was another record year for the Groupe. After leading the industry on organic growth for three years, new business for five years, financial ratios for the past decade, and market capitalization since 2023, Publicis has become the world's largest advertising group. In a challenging global environment, the Groupe's organic net revenue growth stood at +5.8%, an acceleration compared to its average growth since 2020. At the start of 2025, this momentum continued, with Q1 organic growth of  +4.9% and record new business, making us confident in achieving our guidance of +4% and +5% organic growth in 2025, despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.

I would like to thank the Board for its unwavering support, particularly its Vice-Chair, Élisabeth Badinter, and Maurice Lévy, Emeritus Chairman, whose visions and pioneering investments have positioned the Groupe to seize opportunities in the age of AI. I would also like to thank our clients and shareholders for their trust throughout our transformation, and our employees for their extraordinary efforts. Thanks to them, we have reached new heights as a Group, and we are well positioned to continue this momentum with ambition in 2025.”
