PUBLICIS GROUPE Q1 2014 Revenue

Regulatory News:

Publicis Groupe (Paris:PUB):

1^st Quarter 2014

Maurice Lévy, Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe:

"After a fourth quarter well below our expectations (+0.7%) in 2013, the Groupe is now back to more satisfactory organic growth of +3.3% (+6.8% before the impact of exchange rates).

The emerging markets contracted at the end of last year, particularly China which at ended the quarter at -10.8% (Q4), but are now back to growth. The good news in Q1 2014 is Europe, where long-awaited growth was registered, though it does remain fragile. Germany is buoyant, but the most interesting news comes from Italy and Spain which have both recorded positive quarterly growth for the first time since 2011. France is also beginning to show encouraging signs.

Added to the double-digit growth in digital activities and the marked improvement in healthcare, these are good reasons that allow us to feel confident about 2014.

We therefore maintain our growth objective of over 4% for the full year, though growth will not be as strong in the second quarter due to the high comparables.

As we continue to improve our margin (moderate increase in the first quarter), we are on track to reach our growth and profitability targets as set forth in the Publicis Groupe strategic plan by 2018, excluding the merger project.

Finally, the merger of equals with Omnicom is moving forward even though progress is slower than anticipated.”

I – Revenue

Publicis Groupe’s consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was 1,597 million euro, i.e. a +2.2% increase from the 1,563 million reported in 2013. The impact of exchange rates was -67 million euro, or 4.2% of revenue. Before the impact of exchange rates, revenue growth was +6.8%.

Expressed in dollars, Q1 revenue rose 6% to 2,187 million dollars.

• Organic Growth

At +3.3%, organic growth is up from Q4 2013 (+0.7%), a marked improvement. This upturn came from sustained growth in digital activities (+10.4%), which now account for 40.9% of total revenue, and from improved growth in Europe* and China which is expected to accelerate quarter on quarter.

*Excluding Russia and Turkey

II – Business in Q1 2014

The global economy has shown signs of a recovery in certain regions but remains very slow to pull out of the crisis of the last five years, and economic situations have been highly contrasted. US growth is driven by vigorous demand in the private sector. In the euro zone, the recovery varies from one country to another but remains feeble except in Germany and the UK. The southern European economies have improved slightly but remain very fragile. Despite a temporary slowdown, China plays a major part in global growth.

In a global economic environment that has seen a shifting of balances since the second half of 2013, Publicis Groupe has achieved its growth largely as a result of its strong presence in the USA (49.8% of revenue) and its digital business which has become the Groupe’s main activity. Digital now generates over 40% of total revenue, thus confirming the Groupe’s declared objective of reaching the 50% mark by 2018.

The proportion of revenue from high-growth countries is slightly lower at 22.2% due to economic slowdown in certain regions and to the adverse impact of exchange rates.

Q1 2014 revenue by region

*Europe excluding Russia and Turkey

**MISSAT: Mexico, Indonesia, Singapore, South Africa and Turkey

• Europe* posted a marked improvement in the first quarter of 2014. Germany grew by +9.9%, France by +2%, whilst the UK experienced a temporary slump (-1.6%) attributable to some specific Groupe’s entities. The southern European countries remained fragile overall, despite a slight improvement in Spain (+1.1%).

*Europe excluding Russia and Turkey

• North America posted +4.3% as it continued to be buoyed by the renewed vigor of its economy and the Groupe’s share of digital services in the region.
• The BRIC+MISSAT countries showed promise with Greater China picking up (+0.2% after -10.8% in Q4 2013), as well as good growth in Brazil (+3%), Russia (+7.6%) and Turkey (+23.8%). The region was, however, penalized by poor performance in Mexico (-3.3%), South Africa (-6.2%) and India (-18%) in the first quarter.

• The Rest of the world returned growth of +5.1%.

III - Activities

The table below shows the strong dynamics of digital activities in all regions of the world. Digital continues to shore up growth despite the continued slide of analog activities (-0.9%).

*Europe excluding Russia and Turkey

**MISSAT: Mexico, Indonesia, Singapore, South Africa and Turkey

IV – Cost control

With a view to improving its operating margin in the medium term, Publicis Groupe has continued to invest (regionalization of shared service centers, production platforms, ERP) and to simplify its organization.

V – External growth, financial transactions

  • Qorvis Communications, one of the foremost PR firms in the USA

Accordingly, 562,921 Publicis shares were delivered in January 2014. The remaining 4,674 bonds were redeemed in cash at a unit price of 48.74 euro, also in January 2014.

• Orane bonds

As part of the compensation proposed by Publicis to its Orane bondholders, and as approved by the General Meeting of Orane bondholders on October 10, 2013, the bondholders who exercised their rights received 865,656 euro in additional interest and 110,871 Publicis Groupe shares on January 15, 2014, in respect of the redemption parity adjustment.

VI – Net debt at March 31, 2014

At March 31, 2014, the Groupe’s net debt was 29 million euro, down from 847 million at March 31, 2013.

VII – The Publicis - Omnicom merger

On July 28, 2013, Publicis Groupe SA and Omnicom Group Inc. (Omnicom) announced that they had signed an agreement for a merger of equals, meant to create the world’s leading company in communications, advertising, marketing and digital services.

The transaction is a cross-border merger of equals under a holding company, Publicis Omnicom Group, with its registered office in the Netherlands. The group will be listed on the Euronext Paris and NYSE.

The transaction has been structured so that, at the date of the merger, the shareholders of Publicis Groupe and Omnicom will each hold approximately 50% of the equity of the Publicis Omnicom Group. Publicis Groupe shareholders will receive one newly issued ordinary share of Publicis Omnicom Group for each Publicis Groupe share they own, together with a special dividend of €1.00 per share. Omnicom shareholders will receive 0.813 newly issued ordinary shares of Publicis Omnicom Group for each Omnicom share they own, together with a special dividend of $2.00 per share. According to the agreement, certain adjustments may be made to the special dividends paid and to the share parity.

The transaction is subject to approval by the shareholders of both companies as well as various regulatory approvals. Approval was obtained from all anti-trust authorities prior to the agreement, with the exception of China where the case in under review. The merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014. Before the annual general meeting of shareholders convened to vote the merger, Publicis Groupe will provide its shareholders with a detailed report setting forth the terms and conditions of the merger.

VIII – Outlook

In its forecast dated April 7, 2014, the ZenithOptimedia’s media observatory modified its worldwide advertising (media) market prospect for 2014, revising it upwards from its December 2013 growth forecast of 5.3% to 5.5%. This increase of 0.2 of a percentage point builds in a slight recovery of the global economy, especially in the mature economies, and confirms an accentuation of the shift towards digital services.

For the worldwide advertising (media) market, we expect good performances in the USA, Germany, the UK, Australia and Mexico. France should remain stable and, while the southern European countries are expected to continue to report negative growth, Spain should stabilize. For the emerging markets, ZenithOptimedia forecasts 10.8% growth for the BRIC countries and 14.8% overall for the MISSAT countries.

The figures for Q1 2014 confirm that the Q4 2013 performance levels were the reflection of a temporary situation and not a harbinger of market deterioration. For the full year 2014, Publicis Groupe remains confident about its growth objectives and continued margin enhancement.
