HAVAS

2008 KEY FIGURES

Havas ended 2008 with reported growth of +4.7% for the financial year. For the first time in its history, Havas posted a net income of over €100 million. Operating margin continued to grow, reaching 12.1%. This performance bears out the pertinence of our operating plan introduced in 2006, which set two major targets: the highest annual growth rate in the market, and profitability in line with that of the profession. Our ability to adapt, our creativity, our media expertise, growth in our digital business - up from 9% in 2006 to 14% in 2008 with no major acquisitions - and the balanced geographic spread of Group revenues enabled us to achieve these results a year ahead of plan.
