Publicis Groupe posted better-than-expected results in the second quarter, fueled by continued growth in the U.S., good results in its digital operations and stabilization in Europe. The Paris-based holding company said revenue rose 9.6 percent to $2.3 billion, with organic growth up 5 percent.

Revenue for the first half was $4.4 billion, an 8.7 percent increase on the year-earlier period, and organic growth increased 3.2 percent. Net income rose 15 percent to $410 million.

“The strong organic growth acceleration at 5 percent in the second quarter allows the Groupe to significantly improve its performance,” Publicis CEO Maurice Lévy said in a statement.
