S4 Capital PLC, down 5.8% at 20.50p, 12-month range 42.00p-17.30p. The London-based advertising firm says revenue in the third quarter to the end of September falls 3.4% to GBP191.7 million from GBP198.4 million. Net revenue sinks 6.9% to GBP167.0 million from GBP179.3 million. Revenue in the third quarter is down 1.0% on a like-for-like basis, while net revenue is 4.4% lower. The firm expects like-for-like net revenue to fall by upper-single-digits in 2025. It forecasts operational earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to remain broadly similar to 2024. S4 Capital says it will consider approving an enhanced final dividend for 2025, if the improved second half performance and liquidity targets are delivered. "Market conditions in the third quarter reflect the continuing impact of volatile global macroeconomic conditions. As a result, clients remain generally cautious given the uncertainty, with technology clients, which account for almost half our revenue, in particular, continuing to prioritise capital expenditure on expanding AI capacity," says Executive Chair Martin Sorrell. "We maintain our operational EBITDA and net debt guidance reflecting continued cost control and cash management. As in previous years, financial performance will be weighted to the fourth quarter. Liquidity is also forecast to improve, which will give us the ability to consider proposing an enhanced final dividend once the results for 2025 are announced, if targets are met."
