Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Recent Developments | 1. Business and Basis of Presentation Stagwell Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “Stagwell”), incorporated under the laws of Delaware, conducts its business through its networks and its portfolio of marketing services firms (“Brands”), which provide marketing and business solutions that realize the potential of combining data and creativity. Stagwell’s strategy is to build, grow and acquire market-leading businesses that deliver the modern suite of services that marketers need to thrive in a rapidly evolving business environment. The accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Stagwell and its subsidiaries. Stagwell has prepared the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting financial information on this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Form 10-K”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates about current and future results of operations and cash flows that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement, in all material respects, of the information contained therein. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the current year’s presentation. Recent Developments On January 1, 2025, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire ADK Group, an integrated marketing solutions company. The purchase price is dependent on the closing balance sheet but is estimated to be approximately $24 million. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025. On December 23, 2024, the Company entered into a sale purchase agreement to acquire Create Group Holding Limited, a strategic digital communications group in Middle East, for approximately $16 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. Under the agreement, the sellers are entitled to contingent consideration up to a maximum value of approximately $24 million, subject to continued employment and meeting certain future earnings targets, of which a portion may be settled in shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) at the Company’s discretion. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025.
