CEO Giles Palmer comments:

“The first quarter continued to be impacted by macro headwinds, integration work and reversals. A high growth streamlined organization powered by a unified global platform will only come to fruition when all the hard work of integration is complete. Cint has made great progress over the last year in organizational integration and OPEX synergies are in line with the original plan. We are now entering the most complex aspect of the integration process, namely the integration of our various platforms. This process may be lengthier and more challenging than initially expected and continue at least into 2024. The total integration costs are not expected to exceed EUR 40m as previously communicated. Consolidation, standardization and optimization will be the focus of the organization for the next 12 months.

Despite the current challenging conditions, the long-term fundamentals of Cint are strong. My key priority as the new CEO will be building an integrated company back to front, so as to be able to capitalize on our strong position and the ongoing transformation of the insights industry.”
