M&C Saatchi reported that its 2025 performance met earlier guidance, with like-for-like net revenue expected to fall around 7% (or 2.5% excluding Australia), generating reported net revenue of £210m and operating profit of £26m. The group delivered £12m of annualised cost savings in the second half and ended the year with a solid balance sheet and £13m of net cash, leaving it positioned to pursue strategic opportunities and its share buyback plans. Management pointed to improved pipeline conversion from new regional growth teams, securing multi-specialism mandates including work for Coca-Cola’s Premier League sponsorship, UK Government strategy and development frameworks, a major Super Bowl campaign, and expanded assignments from JP Morgan Chase and Ferrari. Despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, the company maintains confidence in achieving profitable growth in 2026, citing its portfolio strategy, higher-margin growth drivers and strong client retention as key supports for future performance.
