Havas reported organic revenue growth 2.5% in the March quarter, supported by its business in the US, up 7.4%, and a series of pitch wins fuelling the future.
The company reiterated its full year guidance of 2% to 3% despite macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.
Havas said it had “modest” exposure in the Middle East at 1.9% of 2025 net revenue.
“Havas has started 2026 on a solid footing, continuing its momentum and delivering organic growth in net revenue of +2.5%,” said CEO Yannick Bolloré.
“This performance, in line with our full year 2026 guidance, was driven in particular by continued strength in the US and reflects the resilience of our model and the quality of our recent new business wins across key markets.
“Building on the transformation delivered in recent years, we remain focused on disciplined execution, the continued deployment of our Converged strategy, and our commitment to empowering our teams through the roll-out of our AVA LLM portal and comprehensive training in AI and new technologies, further strengthening collaboration and value creation across the Group.
“While the environment remains uncertain, the fundamentals of our model and our ability to adapt with agility give us confidence in our capacity to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.”
