Group Press Releases
Pre-Close Statement
29 June 2007
Aegis Group plc today issues its scheduled pre-close statement ahead of interim results on 6 September 2007.
Trading has continued in line with expectations and organic revenue growth across the group remains very healthy. In the year to date, both Aegis Media and Synovate have delivered organic revenue growth ahead of their industries and the wider marketing services peer group.
Within Aegis Media, the fastest organic revenue growth continues to be achieved in EMEA, Asia-Pacific and digital services, while at Synovate, organic revenue growth has been strongest in the Americas, Asia-Pacific and from global clients.
We are continuing to invest in organic growth initiatives and acquisitions across both Aegis Media and Synovate. Recent acquisitions include Marvellous Mobile, a leader in global mobile marketing services; Vivid in US sports and entertainment marketing; and Bluestreak in ad-serving.
Although reported results will reflect the current strength of sterling, we expect to deliver a good underlying improvement in pre-tax profit at constant currencies for the first half of 2007.
