ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 20 10 2023 07:00:00 America/New_York

New York, NY, Oct. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Total revenue, including billable expenses, was $2.68 billion
Revenue before billable expenses ("net revenue") was $2.31 billion, an increase of 0.6%, with organic decrease of 0.4%
Reported net income was $245.7 million
Adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges was $397.2 million
Margin of adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges was 17.2% on revenue before billable expenses
Diluted earnings per share was $0.63 as reported and $0.70 as adjusted

Philippe Krakowsky, CEO of IPG:

“During the third quarter, revenue performance did not measure up to expectations, yet we continued to demonstrate disciplined management of the business and to see positive contributions to growth from our media offerings, the health care sector, sports and experiential marketing, and public relations.

“Factors that we have identified since the early part of the year continued to weigh on our growth in the quarter. These include the decreases in client activity in the tech and telecom client sector that have been evident across our industry, and the performance of certain of our digital specialists. Another factor impacting results is increased concern among marketers related to macroeconomic conditions, which led to the delay of projects and sales cycles, as well as slower-than-anticipated onboarding of some new business.

“Given the evolving business climate and our portfolio of clients and capabilities, as we look at the remainder of the year, we believe organic growth in the fourth quarter will be approximately 1%. Concurrently, we remain fully on track to deliver our margin goal for the year of 16.7%, which is unchanged, and represents margin expansion relative to 2022.

“We are focused on closing the year as strongly as possible and, specific to areas of underperformance, will simultaneously assess internal structural solutions in order to improve our growth profile. We continue to be in-market with compelling offerings that help marketers grow and deliver business outcomes. This has translated to strong new business success for us year-to-date, and which will provide some tailwinds as we move into 2024. An additional area of value creation is our long-standing commitment to capital returns, which remains an important priority for us going forward.”

Total salaries and related expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were $1.53 billion, a decrease of 1.0% from a year ago. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in performance-based employee compensation expense and temporary help expense, partially offset by an increase in base salaries, benefits and tax.

Total salaries and related expenses in the first nine months of 2023 were $4.71 billion, an increase of 0.1% from a year ago.

Office and other direct expenses were $989.6 million in the first nine months of 2023, a decrease of 1.1% from a year ago, primarily driven by factors similar to those noted for the third quarter of 2023.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $16.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 8.6% from a year ago, primarily due to decreases in performance-based incentive compensation expense.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by 1.5% during the third quarter of 2023 and decreased by 1.4% during the first nine months of 2023.

Non-Operating Results and Tax
Net interest expense decreased by $4.3 million to $23.6 million in the third quarter of 2023 from a year ago, primarily attributable to higher interest rates on net deposits, partially offset by lower net cash balances. Net interest expense decreased by $20.4 million to $66.9 million in the first nine months of 2023 from a year ago, primarily due to factors similar to those noted for the third quarter of 2023.

Other expense, net was $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, and was $24.8 million in the first nine months of 2023, which primarily related to losses on sales of businesses and the classification of certain assets and liabilities as held for sale.
