Financials

Dentsu will be presenting on its ESG strategy and progress on its mindset and behaviour reform at a webinar on 30 September. H124 figures showed sequential quarterly improvements, with organic growth of 0.2% in Q2. Encouragingly, this is partly from improved pitch win rates in all four reporting regions, underpinning growth projections through H224 and into FY25, despite a persistently difficult macroeconomic backdrop. The One dentsu initiative is driving collaborative efforts across the group and we expect this to be at the heart of the new medium-term strategy, to be unveiled in H2. In the meantime, the Business transformation (BX) offering is proving effective in Japan and is now being rolled out more widely. The shares continue to be valued well below peers and we would expect this discount to narrow with improving operational performance.
