Philippe Krakowsky, CEO of IPG:

"Once again, our people are at the heart of our strong performance this year. Their dedication to our clients and to one another, as well as their expertise spanning creative marketing services, technology and data management fueled our 2022 growth in every world region and broadly across client sectors. Our three-year organic growth stack stands at 14% – a level of performance that speaks to the strength and relevance of our offerings, particularly in services and sectors demanding emerging media, precision and accountability.

"As we look ahead, the macroeconomic situation remains uncertain. Marketers are approaching 2023 with conviction in the need to stay invested and be in the marketplace, as well as a degree of caution. We're confident that the strongest growth areas of our business, such as consultative media services, healthcare marketing, experiential marketing, and commerce, all supported by our best-in-class data capabilities and creative assets, will continue to perform despite the current economic headwinds.

"We expect organic net revenue growth for 2023 of 2% to 4%, on top of our very strong multi-year performance, and to further expand our adjusted EBITA margin to 16.7% for the full year.

Strategically, we'll continue to build on IPG's evolution to a higher value solutions provider. Our strong balance sheet and commitment to financial flexibility remain key priorities. The actions announced by our Board today, to increase our dividend and the additional authorization on the share repurchase program, speak to confidence in the strategic trajectory of our company. Our strong operating performance and financial foundation, coupled with the talent of our people and dedication to client success, will be fundamental to enhance value for all of our stakeholders."
