Strong Performance in FY 2024

The Company’s trading performance in the second half of 2024 mirrored the momentum built in the first half, driven by a diverse portfolio of services. M&C Saatchi reported a like-for-like net revenue growth of approximately 3.5%, with total reported net revenue for the year reaching £243 million. Key growth drivers included strong performances in the Issues, Media, and UAE markets.

Profit and Margin Expectations

The Board anticipates that profit before tax and operating margin for FY 2024 will meet market expectations. This performance is attributed to the successful implementation of group-wide efficiency programmes, which allowed for reinvestment into the company’s capabilities and talent in the second half of the year.

Financial Strength and Strategic Positioning

M&C Saatchi’s financial position remains robust, with a net cash balance of £16 million at 31 December 2024. Additionally, the Company has £36 million in available facilities, enabling it to seize strategic opportunities as they arise. With a strong cash management focus and the ongoing settlement of put options, M&C Saatchi expects to benefit from significant cash tailwinds in 2025 and beyond, supporting its growth strategy.
