Executive summary
Net revenue declined 5.1% like-for-like, mainly due to macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty and client caution, especially in Australia, which saw a 27% decline and prompted restructuring and leadership changes.
Excluding Australia, net revenue was nearly flat (-0.7%), with growth in Issues, Media, Middle East (+46.6%), and Europe (+5.7%).
Operating profit fell 36% like-for-like to £10.3m, with margin down 4.8pps to 9.9%, pressured by prior year investments and Q2 revenue shortfall.
Responsive cost actions and transformation programs, especially in Australia, targeted at least £12m in annualized savings for FY25.
Strong client retention (93% of 2024 spend retained) and 171 new business wins in H1.
Financial highlights
Like-for-like net revenue: £103.8m (down 5.1% YoY); statutory net revenue: £103.8m (down 7.7%).

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
