S4 Capital plc (SFOR.L) announced that, despite broader market uncertainty and notable fluctuations in global economic policy—especially due to US-imposed tariffs—the company anticipates its full-year like-for-like net revenue to decline by low single digits.
Marketing Services are forecast to be down only slightly, and although Technology Services are forecast to be down more significantly, the impact of the reduction in spending by one major client will cycle out.
Despite this, the company continues to target like-for-like operational EBITDA to be broadly similar to 2024. It will continue to focus on its cost base and will take further action to support profitability, if necessary.
The company expects an improved performance in the second half of the year and a greater second half weighting than in the prior year, enhanced by the phasing of new business revenue, including wins already secured.
The company said its board has proposed to pay a first-time final dividend of 1 pence per share, amounting to 6.1 million pounds, on 10 July 2025 to all shareowners on the register as at 6 June 2025.
