Havas posts net revenue of €638 million, up 2.5%

Havas has reported that its first quarter revenue has reached €667 million, with organic growth of +2.8%. Net revenue amounted to €638 million, representing organic growth of +2.5% compared to the same period in 2025.

This organic growth confirms the overall vitality of the business, even though the comparison base was less favorable than last year, the agency said.

For FY 2026, the company expects organic net revenue growth in the range of 2-3%. The agency said it will pursue its strategy of bolt-on and targeted acquisitions by acquiring 5 to 10 majority stakes in 2026.

Yannick Bolloré, Chairman and CEO of Havas, said: “Havas has started 2026 on a solid footing, continuing its momentum and delivering organic growth in net revenue of +2.5%. 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. I would like to thank our clients for their continued trust and recognize the commitment of our teams around the world, who play a central role in our success.”
