Dentsu Group raises full-year profit forecast on strong domestic performance

Dentsu Group announced on November 14, 2025, a revision to its consolidated earnings forecast for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Underlying operating profit is now projected to be 161.2 billion yen, an increase of 19.6 billion yen from the August forecast of 141.6 billion yen, representing a 13.8% increase. Underlying net profit attributable to owners of the parent is also revised upwards by 20.4 billion yen to 83.4 billion yen, a 32.4% increase from the previous 63 billion yen. Operating margin is expected to be in the "13% range," up from 12.0%.

This revision reflects robust performance in Japan and anticipated cost reductions from business restructuring. Consolidated organic growth for FY2025 remains at approximately 0%, with Japan's organic growth revised upward from circa 3% to circa 4%, while international business is revised downward from negative circa 2% to negative circa 3%. Revenue for the full year is slightly adjusted downwards to 1,421 billion yen from 1,433.2 billion yen, a 0.9% decrease. Net revenue, however, increased to 1,182.6 billion yen from 1,180.1 billion yen. The year-end dividend forecast remains undetermined.
