Here are the results of the JCDecaux 2Q 2026 earnings release and earnings call, sponsored and analyzed by SignValue.  We are reporting JCDecaux financials in US dollar equivalents.

• Revenue increased 4.6% to $2.2 billion during the first half of 2026 due to digital revenue growth and revenues from the 2026 FIFA world cup.  Here’s a breakout of revenue growth by segment and by geography.  Street furniture and North America were the leaders in revenue growth.  Billboards, Asia-Pacific and France were the poorest performing segments.   Management forecasts 5% growth for 2Q 2026.

• Cashflow (EBITDA) increased 29% to $442 million in the first half of 2026 due to increased revenues.  The EBITDA margin was 19%.
• Debt totaled $734 million at June 2026. The company’s debt has an average maturity of 2.6 years.  92% of debt is fixed.  The cost of debt was approximately 4.7%.   During the quarter, Moodys and S&P raised the company’s outlook from stable to positive.  Debt/Cashflow(EBITDA) is a low 2.52 times.

SignValue’s Take: France and Asia are a drag on performance.  JCDecaux’s low 19% EDITDA margin reflects that fact 87% of the company’s revenues come from Airport or Street Furniture and both sectors have high franchise and operating fees.
