Nonetheless, taking a conservative approach, Ipsos made a provision in the first half covering the amount of receivables reported on its financial statement at 31 December 2012 to bring the figure in line with the amount paid by Aegis.

After various write backs of provisions, the net impact on the 2013 income statement is 73.2 million euros. This accounting adjustment was reported on the income statement in compliance with IFRS, because the final allocation of the acquisition price must be completed within 12 months of taking control, and does not have an impact on Ipsos' real financial situation. eceivables tment e sale and purchase

2013 outlook

There is no point in hiding from it: in a nutshell, the situation is tense.

    1. First, on the macroeconomic front. Economic growth is slowing, in Europe of course but also in emerging-market countries. Countries and second phase of the crisis that began in 2008, more so than they were in 2009, which in retrospect was a benign still had some financial leeway. , market regions are now more interdependent in the period during which governments were able to act as though they half f who will

The problem is that today's winners are not necessarily those win tomorrow, though today's losers are unlikely to become tomorrow's winners. Customers are smarter, more interconnected, sometimes keen to buy but sometimes willing to abstain. In the current transitional phase, certainty of a predictable tomorrow, the confidence that comes from ready At a time when customers being offered a broader range of options, marketing its Companies need to continue products, services, brands, ideas and ideals.

However, during this transitional phase that we described some time ago as a new renaissance, at a time when content is defined more than ever by the medium, during this period of imbalances, disruption and participatory unpredictability of behaviour makes the job of research companies difficult. It sometimes puts us in a precarious position. Clearly, no research company anticipated the re Turkey, or correctly predicted how badly the European car market would perform, or forecast the collapse in the global PC market. But who did?
