Stagwell Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a revenue of $706.8 million, a 5.3% increase from $671.2 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2025, the company generated $1.36 billion in revenue, up from $1.34 billion in the first half of 2024. Despite the revenue growth, Stagwell experienced a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $5.3 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $3.0 million in the prior year. The loss for the first half of 2025 was $8.2 million, compared to a loss of $4.2 million in the same period last year.
The company's operating income for the second quarter was $23.2 million, reflecting a 5.8% increase from $21.9 million in the previous year. However, operating income for the first half of 2025 decreased to $41.5 million from $47.8 million in 2024. The increase in operating expenses, particularly in office and general expenses, contributed to this decline. Stagwell's total operating expenses for the second quarter rose to $683.6 million, up from $649.3 million in the prior year, driven by higher staff costs and stock-based compensation.
Stagwell's strategic developments included several acquisitions in 2025, such as JetFuel Studio LLC and Create Group Holding Limited, which contributed to the revenue growth. The company reported that revenue from these acquisitions was $6.3 million for the quarter. Additionally, Stagwell's geographic expansion continued, with significant revenue contributions from the United States, which accounted for $557.4 million of the total revenue, followed by $38.1 million from the United Kingdom and $111.4 million from other regions.
The company also noted an increase in cash and cash equivalents, which rose to $181.3 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $131.3 million at the end of 2024. Stagwell's total debt increased to $1.46 billion, up from $1.35 billion at the end of the previous year. The company remains committed to maintaining sufficient liquidity to support its operations and growth initiatives, with plans to utilize cash generated from operations and available borrowings under its credit agreement.
Looking ahead, Stagwell anticipates continued revenue growth driven by new client wins and increased spending in key sectors, despite potential challenges from budget cuts in certain industries. The company is focused on leveraging its integrated marketing solutions to enhance client relationships and drive performance in a competitive landscape.
