Following a 2.7% fall in first quarter revenue, Ipsos has reported a 0.4% rise in its second quarter figures. However, negative currency effects meant that total first half 2013 revenues fell by 4% to EUR 803.7m.
Performance by region
Second quarter sales improved strongly in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and in the Americas. However, the business remained 'sluggish' in the Asia-Pacific region, which Ipsos says reflects the 'snags' encountered in the Ipsos/Synovate integration process - a region where the firm's size doubled following the acquisition.
