Our adjusted EBITA margin was 17.2%, underscoring continued operating discipline as we continue our enterprise-wide investments in growth and business transformation.

“Third quarter results include non-cash goodwill impairment expense of $232 million related to our digital specialist agencies and progress with the strategic sales process for R/GA and Huge.

“The quarter also continued to see progress in the evolution of our offerings and organizational structure, as we invest in the stronger, growing areas within the portfolio. The launch of Interact marks the next evolution of our marketing intelligence engine, which integrates data flows across the campaign lifecycle and consumer journey. This core technology connects our entire portfolio, from brand research as well as audience insights and audience creation, all the way through to creative ideation, production, commerce, and personalized CRM programs through the use of generative AI. It also powers media activation and optimization, including earned and owned channels, delivering better marketing results across media channels and touchpoints for our clients, in real time.

“Looking forward, we are seeing a strong new business pipeline, for both Q4 activity and longer-term AOR opportunities, and we remain focused on achieving organic growth of approximately 1% this year. At that level, we continue to target adjusted EBITA margin of 16.6%. Our long-standing commitment to capital returns remains an important priority and our strong balance sheet provides a solid foundation from which to continue to evolve our offerings and the solutions we provide for marketers.”

The organic net revenue change in the third quarter excludes agencies R/GA and Huge, due to their classification as held-for-sale during the quarter.

Revenue before billable expenses of $6.75 billion in the first nine months of 2024 decreased 0.9% compared with the same period in 2023. Compared to the first nine months of 2023, the effect of foreign currency translation was negative 0.3%, the impact of net dispositions was negative 1.6%, and the resulting organic increase of net revenue was 1.0%.

In the third quarter of 2024, staff cost ratio, which is total salaries and related expenses as a percentage of revenue before billable expenses, decreased to 65.3% compared to 66.3% for the same period in 2023. Total salaries and related expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were $1.46 billion, a decrease of 4.4% from a year ago. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased base salaries, benefits and tax, performance-based employee compensation expense and temporary help expense.

Total salaries and related expenses in the first nine months of 2024 were $4.59 billion, a decrease of 2.4% from a year ago. The decrease was primarily driven by factors similar to those noted above for the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by increased severance expense.

In the third quarter of 2024, office and other direct expenses as a percentage of revenue before billable expenses increased to 14.6% compared to 13.8% for the same period in 2023. Office and other direct expenses were $327.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 2.6% from a year ago, reflecting increased expenses for technology and software, as well as professional consulting.

Office and other direct expenses were $1.01 billion in the first nine months of 2024, an increase of 1.8% from a year ago, primarily due to increases in technology and software costs and general corporate expenses, partially offset by decreases in occupancy expense.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $20.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $16.9 million a year ago, primarily due to increased strategic investment in base salaries, benefits and tax and technology & software.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, we recorded goodwill impairment of $232.1 million.

Non-Operating Results and Tax
Net interest expense decreased by $2.9 million to $20.7 million in the third quarter of 2024 from a year ago, primarily attributable to higher interest rates, offset by lower average balances on net deposits. Net interest expense decreased by $10.8 million to $56.1 million in the first nine months of 2024 from a year ago, primarily due to factors similar to those noted above for the third quarter of 2024.
