Arthur Sadoun, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer :
“2025 was another year of very strong performance for Publicis in a difficult macroeconomic environment. Once again, the Groupe outperformed the industry with organic growth of +5.6%, while continuing to deliver the strongest financial ratios in the sector.

At the beginning of 2026, the Groupe maintained its momentum with a first quarter in line with expectations, enabling us to confirm our objectives for the year. Despite a global environment that remains uncertain, we continue to be confident in our ability to once again outperform the industry thanks to the strength of our model.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new members joining our Board today. I have no doubt that their experience and expertise will be valuable assets to Publicis moving forward. 

As the Groupe marks its centenary, I would like to thank our shareholders for their loyalty, our clients for their trust, and all of our teams around the world for their outstanding efforts. For 100 years, Publicis has demonstrated its ability to anticipate the major transformations of our industry, navigate crises, embrace technological revolutions and continuously reinvent ourselves, while remaining true to the values passed on to us by our founder Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet. Thanks to our AI-powered growth model, we are entering our second century stronger than ever. »
