Havas' net revenue increased by 7.2% in the third quarter of 2026 in comparison to the same period last year to reach 703 million Euros.

Havas recorded organic growth of +2.4% compared with the same period in 2025 (organic growth of +3.8% in third-quarter 2025). The performance is attributable in particular to the media and creative divisions. 

Europe performed well with organic performance of 1.7% in the third quarter of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025. Growth was supported by contributions from France, particularly in media, as well as Spain and Poland. At the end of September 2026, Europe recorded organic growth of +1.0% compared with the same period in 2025.

North America witnessed organic growth of 7.5% compared with the same period in 2025. This performance was driven by both the creative and media divisions. 

Asia Pacific and Africa recorded negative organic growth of -6.7% in the third quarter, compared with the same period last year, but India continued to 'perform well'. The region continued to be impacted by China and by the Middle East, where activity remained affected by the ongoing geopolitical conflict throughout the quarter. 

Latin America recored -4.3% organic growth compared with the same period last year. This organic performance was primarily impacted by Mexico and Peru. The strong performance of Brazil and Chile was not sufficient to offset these declines. At the end of September 2026, the organic performance for Latin America remained positive at +1.0%, compared with the same period in 2025.

Yannick Bolloré, chairperson and CEO, Havas, said, “Havas delivered a solid third quarter, achieving organic growth in net revenue of +2.4%, in line with our full-year guidance. This performance reflects the resilience of our client-centric model in a macroeconomic and geopolitical environment that remains uncertain.
