Ipsos first quarter revenues rose 6.2% to EUR 217.3m from Q1 2007. Despite slow going in North America, global organic growth reached 9.6%, which the firm said exceeded its full-year targets.
Currency effects had a negative impact of 6.4%. Consolidation effects had an impact of 3% on first quarter 2008 revenues owing to the consolidation of Eureka, Indica Research, Markinor, ResearchPartner, and Forward Research. The acquisition of Monroe Mendelsohn, which now operates under the Ipsos Mendelsohn brand, will be consolidated from 1 April 2008.
Regionally, North America recorded slow growth, while Europe continued the recovery it began in 2007, and growth exceeded 10% in the Asia-Pacific zone.
