Havas CEO David Jones had this to say: "2012 was a strong year reflecting continued progress on profitability, organizational structure and strategic growth areas.  Importantly, we continued to deliver sequential year-over-year margin improvement with further potential in the years ahead.  New business performance in 2012 was strong by agencies at global, regional and local level, and we continued to grow both our emerging markets as well as our digital business.  The simplification of our group structure and network branding reinforces our agile and integrated organization with digital at the core, which we believe gives us unique competitive advantages within the industry.  While European economies remain challenged, we are confident in our ability to continue to deliver strong results and grow shareholder value for the long-term."
