NEW YORK Publicis Groupe on Tuesday said its first-half net profit before amortization of goodwill jumped to nearly $126 million, up 49 percent from the same period a year ago.
The gain comes primarily from the acquisition of Bcom3 last September, which doubled the size of the French holding company.
The company’s overall revenue in the first six months rose 59 percent to $2.1 billion. Organic growth during the half was flat. Net earnings per share, before amortization of goodwill, climbed 16 percent during the first six months to 77 cents.
