    Growth acceleration
    and maintained high profitability in 2023

    Organic growth: 8.8% in Q4 and 3% for the year
    Operating profit: 13.1%

    Paris, 21 February 2024 – Ipsos, one of the world’s leading market research companies, confirmed the acceleration of its activity in the 4th quarter of 2023 and posted organic growth of 8.8% (after -2.8% in the 1st quarter, 0.5% in the 2nd quarter and 4.3% in the 3rd quarter), meeting our guidance for the year. Organic growth for the 2023 financial year therefore reached 3% (4% excluding the impact of COVID contracts ending). The operating profit remained stable at an all-time high of 13.1%, demonstrating the Group’s ability to maintain its profitability in a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical context.

    The 4th quarter revenue amounts to 714.7 million euros, up by 4.8%. For the year, it reaches 2,389.8 million euros, down 0.6% due to unfavorable exchange rate effects
    (-3.9%) which more than offset the organic growth (3%) and perimeter effects (0.3%).

    Ben Page, CEO of Ipsos, says: “We improved in 2023 despite economic headwinds, proving the resilience of Ipsos’ model. Thanks to our geographic spread, our multi-sectoral approach, client portfolio and new technology, we can feel confident as we step into 2024. Combined with the talent and commitment of our teams, these strengths are exactly what we need to keep responding to new client needs and seizing new growth opportunities.”

    All regions showed excellent growth momentum in the 4th quarter and grew over the year.

    From the 3rd quarter onwards, activity in the EMEA region was free from unfavourable base effects caused by the end of major Covid contracts, and it showed excellent momentum with organic growth of 11.2% in the final quarter. Annual organic growth of 4.1% was largely driven by Continental Europe, where countries like France and Belgium reported excellent results.

    Activity in the Americas showed organic growth of 1.7% in 2023. This reflects a contrasting reality between the strong performance of Latin America (above 8%) and lower growth in North America (close to 1%). The United States was affected by the significant decline in demand by major Tech clients. However, we did see a gradual improvement in demand from these clients over the final quarter. This trend remains to be confirmed in 2024, primarily with new opportunities offered by generative AI. Overall, the final quarter in the Americas showed organic growth of over 7.5%, both in North and South America.

    Lastly, the Asia-Pacific region posted organic growth of around 5.5% for the quarter and 3.5% for the full year. With no tangible economic recovery in China following the end of the Zero-COVID policy, our activity in the country stagnated, which hindered performance for the entire region. Conversely, India and South-East Asia maintained their momentum with double-digit growth rates.

    Our activities with consumers showed very strong momentum both in the 4th quarter (+12.8%) and throughout 2023 (+7.1%). This reflects excellent performance from our business lines with regard to brand health tracking, marketing spend optimization and market positioning activities, as well as our qualitative work. Solid performance in the consumer goods sector also helped maintain the high level of activity in this segment.

    Our activity with clients and employees was stable throughout the year. Customer experience and mystery shopping surveys recorded strong performance, even if this audience segment was adversely affected in 2023 by the drop in demand from major Tech clients.

    Our activity with citizens was down 5%, due mainly to major COVID contracts ending. Our business relating specifically to the public sector other than COVID contracts performed well and posted organic growth of more than 8%.

    Finally, our activity with doctors and patients continued on its path of improvement throughout 2023, with organic growth of 9% in the 2nd semester, of which 12% was achieved in the final quarter. Initially affected early in the year by shifts in decision-making from certain clients in the pharmaceutical industry, this activity did regain its momentum. One example in particular was our high added-value services offering, as well as our solutions for targeting and segmenting patients and prescribers.

    *Adjusted net profit is calculated before (i) non-monetary items related to IFRS 2 (Share-based Payment), (ii) the amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets (client relations), (iii) the impact of other non-current income and expenses, net of tax, (iv) the non-monetary impact of changes in puts and other financial income and expenses, and (v) deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill for which amortisation is deductible in some countries. It is in particular adjusted for the provisions related to Russia.

    Income statement items

    The gross margin rose by 120 basis points to 67.5%, compared to 66.3% in 2022. This increase was mainly attributable to (i) a favourable mix effect related to very strong momentum from higher margin segments like Ipsos.Digital, Marketing Management Analytics activities and qualitative surveys, (ii) the structural continuation of the increase in the proportion of online surveys, which rose from 65% in 2022 to 66% in 2023, (iii) the Group’s ability to maintain its prices in a context of inflation, and (iv) the definitive end of large covid contracts in early 2022 (for which collection costs were above average).

    With regard to operating costs, the payroll remained under control at less than 1% growth, despite the persisting impact of inflation on salaries in some countries. Given the context of uncertainty, throughout 2023 we adapted our staff numbers based on the activity in each of our markets. At 31 December 2023, Ipsos had 19,701 employees, a 2.3% decrease compared to 31 December 2022. The payroll-to-gross-margin ratio improved to 65.1% compared to 65.3% in 2022. This ratio was 67% in 2019 before COVID, which allowed us to achieve structural productivity gains. The cost of variable compensation in shares rose to €16.3 million compared to €14.4 million in 2022 due to the increased share price.

    Overhead costs were down slightly (-0.4%) despite the inflationary context. While we continued to increase current expenditure on IT, our other overhead items were stable or down – particularly professional fees and travel expenses. The ratio of overhead to gross margin improved to 13.3% compared to 13.5% in 2022, also remaining significantly lower than its pre-pandemic level (17% in 2019).

    Other operating income and expenses, consisting mainly of severance costs, showed a net cost of €20.3 million. In 2023, we adopted our operating model based on the level of activity in each of our markets, especially in the United States due to the drop in major Tech clients.

    Overall, the Group’s operating profit once again reached the high level of 13.1% achieved in 2022.

    Below the operating profit, the amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets refers to the portion of goodwill allocated to client relations in particular. This allocation came to €6.0 million.

    The balance of other non-current and non-recurring income and expenses came to a net cost of €47.3 million. Since July 31, 2023, a draft law aiming to impose strong restrictions on companies researching the structure of consumer goods markets in Russia came under review at the Duma. Even though uncertainties remain about the law’s final content and its implementation schedule, the draft law plans, at this point, among other restrictive provisions, to limit foreign ownership of such companies to a 20% shareholding. Considering the risks that this draft law poses to our business continuity in Russia, even though it is not clearly established that its purpose includes Ipsos' business, we have, as a precaution, decided to write off the entirety of the net asset linked to our local subsidiary, representing an amount of 59 million euros. Our activities in Russia account for less than 2% of the Group's revenue.

    Finance costs. The net interest expense came to €13.3 million compared to €13.2 million last year – the effects of the rise in interest rates on financial income and expenses balanced each other out overall.

    Other net financial income and expenses showed a net cost of €7.0 million, including €3.7 million related to financial expenses as a result of applying IFRS 16.

    The effective tax rate on the IFRS income statement was 30.6% compared to 24.8% last year. This rate would be 24,5% excluding the impact of provisions related to Russia.

    Net profit attributable to owners of the parent came to €160 million compared to €215 million in 2022, impacted by 59 million euros due to the depreciation of Ipsos' net asset in Russia.

    Adjusted net profit attributable to owners of the parent came to €229 million compared to €232 million in 2022. For the second half of the year, it increased by 24 million euros, or 17%.

    Financial structure

    Cash flow from operations came to €413 million compared to €402 million in 2022, up €11 million.

    The working capital requirement saw a negative change of €65 million. A significant portion of our growth in 2023 was achieved in the final quarter. Cash generation associated with this revenue extended partly to the start of 2024.

    Investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets consisted mainly of investments in IT infrastructure, technology and R&D. Amounting to €59 million, these were up €4 million compared to 2022. This was in line with the 2025 strategic plan, which calls for an increase in our investments in platforms, our proprietary panels and generative AI tools. The pace of these investments will be stepped up in 2024.

    Overall, free cash flow from operations came to €169 million, down €45 million compared to last year, mainly due to the growth momentum in the fourth quarter.

    As for non-current investments, Ipsos stepped up the pace of its external growth policy in 2023, investing €48 million in the acquisition of NVCS in the US, Behaviour & Attitudes in Ireland, CBG in New Zealand, Big Village in Australia, Xperity in the US, Omedia in West Africa and Shanghai Focus RX in China. In January 2024, the acquisitions of Jarmany in Great Britain and I&O in the Netherlands were added to this list.

    Lastly, our financing activities in 2023 included the following:

    • Continuation of the share buyback programme with the intention of cancellation for an amount of €50 million, representing 1,050,000 cancelled shares, in addition to the usual share buybacks as part of our free share plans amounting to €36 million.
    • Repayments of the “Schuldschein” loan taken out in 2016 for an amount of €39 million and $42 million.
    • Dividend payments of €59 million.

    Shareholders’ equity stood at €1,433 million at 31 December 2023, compared to €1,500 million at 31 December 2022.

    Net financial debt came to €120 million, up €51 million compared to 31 December 2022. The company’s balance sheet remained very healthy, and the leverage ratio (calculated excluding the impact of IFRS 16) was 0.3 times EBITDA (compared to 0.2 times at 31 December 2022).

    Cash position. Cash at 31 December 2023 was €278 million. The Group also had almost €500 million in credit lines payable after more than one year, allowing it to prepare for its debt maturities in 2024 (€20 million in bilateral lines) and September 2025 (€300 million in bond issues).

    OUTLOOK 2024

    Ipsos improved in 2023 despite headwinds caused by major Covid contracts ending, a drop in demand from major Tech clients and more generally a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. By maintaining a high operating profit, the Group confirmed the resilience of its operating model and its ability to adapt to uncertain environments. With hardly any debt, the Group is in an excellent position to continue financing its growth, investments and acquisitions.

    By accelerating the acquisition programme, we were able to consolidate our leading position in certain markets, particularly in Public Affairs.

    As in 2023, this year will be characterised by macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, as well as ongoing massive changes in technology, society and the climate. In a situation like this, more so than ever before, companies and governments need high-quality data and analysis if they are to understand consumption dynamics and public opinion, and thus inform their decision-making. All of these factors will drive our growth in 2024.

    In 2024, we will be intensifying our technology investments so we can give our clients more impactful information and do so faster. We will also launch new offers, ensure data quality and security, and make our operating model more effective. Ipsos Facto, our generative AI platform forms the core of this strategy. Accessible to all our employees since June 2023, and now available to our clients, it is based on the best language models on the market – updated in real time with Ipsos data – and our proprietary library of prompts specific to market research professionals.

    For this year, we are forecasting organic growth over 4%, and an operating profit of
    around 13%. Quarterly growth in activity in 2024 will be very different from that seen in 2023: performance in the 1st quarter of 2024 will benefit from a relatively favourable basis for comparison, but subsequent bases for comparison will become gradually less favourable as the year progresses.

    Finally, we remain confident in our ability to deliver on the financial targets announced in our strategic plan, “The Heart of Science and Data”.

    At the General Meeting on 14 May 2024, the Board of Directors will also be proposing a substantially higher dividend payment of €1.65 per share, i.e. an increase of more than 22% representing over 30% of the adjusted net profit per share, compared to €0.90 for 2020, €1.15 for 2021 and €1.35 for 2022. While our priorities in terms of cash allocation remain the pursuit of acquisitions and investments in technology and our panels, we will be continuing our share buyback programme with the intention of cancellation.
