- Havas reported positive performance in India during Q3 2026, contributing to overall growth despite a 6.7% decline in organic net revenue for the Asia Pacific and Africa region.
- The decline in the Asia Pacific and Africa region was attributed to reduced activity in China and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with India helping to offset these weaknesses.

Havas has reported continued positive performance in India in the third quarter of 2026, even as its Asia Pacific and Africa region recorded a 6.7% year-on-year decline in organic net revenue growth, reflecting subdued activity in China and the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The group said India remained positive during the first nine months of the year, helping offset weakness in other markets across the region. The company did not disclose India-specific growth figures.
Havas reported net revenue of €703 million for the third quarter, up 7.2% from a year earlier.
For the first nine months of 2026, the Asia Pacific and Africa region recorded a 5.5% decline in organic growth. Havas attributed approximately half of the regional decline to weaker activity in the Middle East, with the remainder largely linked to China.
India continued to register positive performance over the period, according to the company.
At the group level, Havas said its third-quarter performance was driven particularly by its Media and Creative divisions.
North America was the strongest-performing region, delivering 7.5% organic growth, supported by both Media and Creative. Europe recorded 1.7% growth, while Latin America contracted 4.3% during the quarter.
