S4 Capital stated its "significantly improved" operational EBITDA margin performance in the second half, with like-for-like gross profit/net revenue growth, was also in line with its 25% guidance.

As a result of improved liquidity, S4 Capital added that net debt was expected to be "well towards the lower end" of guidance of £130.0m-170.0m.

Chairman Martin Sorrell said: "Most market commentators are now projecting high single-digit growth for digital advertising and high teens percentage growth for digital transformation, which we believe we can continue to outpace, given our addressable markets including technology services and as we build further momentum with our clients."

As of 1100 GMT, S4 shares were up 0.22% at 218.87p.
