Improving / on-track Watch
Assumptions
(a) Average costs are attributed equally across all HC; (b) SMB only got moved into EUI in 2026 — for YoY-consistent E/R comparison, 2025 SMB labor is synthesized using a labor-share method: (2026 SMB labor YTD ÷ 2026 EUI labor YTD ex-SMB) × 2025 EUI labor FY ex-SMB = $1.22M / $190.76M × $393.84M = $2.51M FY 2025 (vertical mix carried from 2026 SMB %), avoiding a YoY scope shift; and (c) only costs that are controllable / directly attributable to a vertical and capable of supporting growth were taken into consideration.
Key takeaways
🚗 Automotive is in line with target (+60% YoY vs 60% goal · 100% attainment), while ✈️ Travel and 💳 Fin Services are growing strongly but tracking below '26 Growth Target ambitions (87% and 95% attainment respectively). The shortfall is concentrated, not broad-based:
  • ✈️ Travel: Booking Holdings is 46% of YTD Travel revenue ($77.3M of $169.2M) and growing only +15.6% YoY — well below the 73% target. Stripped of Booking, the rest of Travel is growing +97%, comfortably above target. Travel attainment is therefore a single-account anchor effect, not a portfolio issue.
  • 💳 Fin Services: no equivalent single-name anchor — gap is more diffuse. Largest account Revolut (+26% YoY on $16M base) is the main soft spot but only 8% of FS revenue; ex-Revolut FS is +65% (still −9pp vs target). Drag spread across mature payment / banking accounts (Monzo +1.5%, eToro +29%) being only partially offset by hyper-growth challengers (Lloyds +205%, Trade Republic +67%, Scalable +395%).
However, profitability has improved despite the revenue gap — most visibly in 💳 Fin Services, with FS E/R compressing −1.1 pp YoY (8.0% → 6.9%) on FS revenue of $100.9M. The FS cost stack is dominated by two lines: Labor ($3.7M · ~54% of FS cost · incl SMB) and Sales Incentives (Agency $1.5M + JBP $1.1M + STI $0.3M = $2.9M · ~42% of FS cost) — together ~96% of the FS cost base. The −1.1pp move is therefore essentially a story of the FS revenue line (+66% YoY) growing materially faster than these two cost lines, rather than absolute cost reductions:
  1. Labor scale leverage: FS-attributed Labor E/R sits at 3.65% ('26 YTD) vs the EUI blended 3.89% — Labor has not grown in line with the +66% FS revenue uplift, producing the bulk of the −1.1pp compression.
  2. Incentive lines remain stable as a % of FS revenue: Agency 1.47%, JBP 1.10%, STI 0.32% — modest dilution on a fast-growing top line, but no major rate reductions on FS specifically. The FS STI line in particular is held back by the Q1-26 Discretionary Fund / Seller-Led programme which alone drives 94% of FS STI loss ($211.4K of $225.7K) across CEU/IL/DACH (see Section E).
  3. CLP and CPS stay small ($0.2M / 0.21% E/R combined) — FS CLP runs at 5.62× ROI, the strongest of the priority verticals, but the absolute envelope is too small to materially move FS E/R either way.

▲ Callout · 🚗 Automotive Rev/Headcount
🚗 Automotive Revenue per Headcount sits below every other priority vertical and below the EUI blended average. At EUI level Auto Rev/V-FTE is $1,656K vs blended $1,993K (−17%), against ✈️ Travel $2,074K (+4%) and 💳 FS $2,121K (+6%).
  • Broad-based under-performance: Auto trails team blended in all 7 teams — IL −34%, UKIBNL −20%, FRITES −13%, DACH −8%, CEU −8%, SMB −3%, Nordics −1%.
  • No team beats blended on Auto: closest performers are Nordics and SMB (within −3pp of own blended) — but neither is a positive contributor relative to other priority verticals.
  • Structural Labor anomaly confirmed: Auto absorbs ~1.6% of EUI Labor headcount but generates ~1.3% of revenue — the imbalance is regional, not single-team.
  • Recommended actions: (i) right-size Auto coverage in IL, UKIBNL, FRITES where the ratio is most distorted; (ii) study Nordics / SMB Auto playbook (closest to break-even within team blended).

3.2 · Business Hospitality — Top 20 Advertisers vs Bus Hospitality Spend

Top 20 advertisers ranked by 2026 YTD revenue per vertical, joined to Bus Hospitality spend = Reimbursements (Expense Type L1 = 业务招待) + Project allocations, both pro-rated by Vertical Attribution. Each row's Bus Hospitality / Rev (%) is benchmarked against its team's overall E/R (sum Bus Hospitality ÷ sum Revenue across all clients in that team). Above team E/R = advertiser is over-served on hospitality vs the team norm; Below team E/R = advertiser is under-served; No Bus Hospitality spend = zero matched Bus Hospitality on a Top-20 account.

3.3 · Vertical Specific Business Hospitality Projects

From Data - Projects 2026. A project is treated as vertical-specific only when its Vertical Attribution assigns more than 50% to a single priority vertical (Auto / Travel / FS). Projects allocated 50/50 across two verticals (e.g. SWAG, Cannes, Six Nations) are excluded as they are mainly cross-vertical platform investments.

Vertical:
0 projects > 50% allocation Total $ $0 Allocated to ✈️ $0
Project Name Team Vertical Allocation % Total PJ Amount (USD) Tag (Group)
No projects with > 50% allocation to this vertical found in 2026 YTD project register.
▲ Callout · Dedicated Vertical Programming Is Thin
Across all three priority verticals only 5 projects are dedicated (>50% allocation) — total allocated value $<30K. The vast majority of project spend (e.g. Six Nations, Wimbledon, Cannes Lunches, OMR Q2, Showtime Q1) is allocated across multiple verticals and so does not qualify as vertical-specific by this rule.
  • 💳 Fin Services: 5 dedicated projects totalling ~$19.9K. The DACH C-level Fin Services event ($7K, 59% allocation) and Digitas MarTec OMR breakfast ($10K, 83%) are the only meaningful FS-purpose investments — far below the FS revenue weight in the book.

Incentives · Agency, JBP & STI — Top 20 Advertisers per Priority Vertical

For each top-revenue advertiser: 2026 YTD growth (vs Jan-Apr 2025) · projected '26 spend (FY 25 × growth) · whether they qualify for a 2026 JBP (growth ≥ 50% AND projected '26 spend ≥ $7M) · whether they qualify for a Commercial Deal (growth > 70% AND projected '26 spend ≥ $3.5M) · whether they are currently supported by JBP, STI or an Agency · with investment recommendations

YTD growth = (Jan-Apr 2026 Rev − Jan-Apr 2025 Rev) / Jan-Apr 2025 Rev, where Jan-Apr 2025 = Fixed base original value of Revenue - USD w/o margin (Current Fx) on Data - List Advertisers 2026. Projected '26 Spend (size proxy, value not displayed) = Jan-Apr 2026 actual revenue ÷ 26% (time-progress annualization — Apr ≈ 26% of FY). Qualifies JBP (≥50% growth) = YTD growth ≥ 50% (uniform across verticals). Qualifies JBP (≥$7M proj.) = Projected '26 Spend ≥ $7M. The two JBP flags are independent; passing both counts toward the "Qualifies for JBP (both)" KPI. Qualifies Commercial Deal (>70% growth) = YTD growth > 70% (a tighter growth bar than the territory JBP rule). Qualifies Commercial Deal (≥$3.5M proj.) = Projected '26 Spend ≥ $3.5M (a lower size bar than the JBP $7M rule). Passing both flags counts toward the "Qualifies for Commercial Deal (both)" KPI — a Commercial Deal is the natural lever for the torso / long-tail accounts: fast-growing mid-size advertisers that are too small for territory JBP but too important to leave on Agency-only support. Supported by JBP = matched in Mapping - JBP Deals 2026 (any non-voided status). Supported by STI = matched in Data - STI 2026. Supported by Agency = Agency Customer Name (NAL First) not null in Data - List Advertisers 2026.

Commercial Deal — Where the Lower Bar Adds Coverage

A Commercial Deal bar (growth > 70% AND projected '26 spend ≥ $3.5M) is deliberately tighter on growth but lower on size than the territory JBP rule. The intent is to capture the torso / long-tail accounts — fast-growing mid-size advertisers that don't yet hit the $7M JBP threshold but are too important to leave on Agency-only support. This is the layer that sits below the territory JBP top-of-the-house deals and above pure Agency / self-serve coverage. Across the three Top-20 panels, 11 advertisers qualify for a Commercial Deal but not for both JBP flags — these are the prime conversion targets for a Commercial Deal incentive in '26:

  1. Why this matters — torso/long-tail capture: territory JBPs are calibrated for the head of the distribution ($7M+ accounts). Once you go beyond the top ~5–10 per vertical, you fall off a cliff into Agency-only or no-coverage, which means Sales has no programmatic incentive lever for accounts in the $3.5–7M projected range. The Commercial Deal threshold deliberately catches this torso band (and the upper end of the long tail) where growth is strongest and conversion economics are still attractive.
  2. FS is the biggest unlock: 6 of the 11 Commercial-Deal-only candidates are FS (Scalable, SumUp, RIA Payment, Zurich, Transferwise, Visa) — all UKIBNL/DACH/FRITES, all growing >87%, all sized $4.6–6.6M projected. Scalable GmbH (DACH, +395%, $6.6M proj.) currently has no JBP/STI/Agency at all — should be the top FS Commercial Deal target.
  3. Auto: two UKIBNL accounts (Stellantis +137% / RNM Alliance +180%) sit just below the JBP size bar. Stellantis already has an EUI-FRSEU-IT JBP — a Commercial Deal extension into UKIBNL avoids opening a full territory JBP for a $4.4M run-rate.
  4. Travel: IHG stands out — explosive growth (+13,732% off a tiny base, projected $3.9M) AND no JBP / STI / Agency support. Commercial Deal is the right entry vehicle before either letting it churn back to baseline or committing to a full JBP.
  5. Note on EasyJet (UKIBNL Travel): +517% / $4.4M proj., currently Agency-only. A Commercial Deal would lock in 2026 spend before the typical Q3 budget review window in airline marketing.

▲ Insights · Where to Add JBP & STI Coverage

Benchmark. 44 active 2026 JBP deals carry a median Ad-Spend Target of $11.78M FY (≈ $3.92M Jan–Apr equivalent). We compare un-supported top-20 advertisers against this signed-deal floor: anyone already running at signed-JBP-deal scale should be a JBP this year, not a hunter target. The remainder are STI candidates (STI is the right lever for non-JBP accounts where the team has a proven ROI track record).

⚠ (C) Zero-coverage spotlight · No JBP, No STI, No Agency

11 top-revenue advertisers are commercially un-managed (no JBP, no STI, no agency relationship). FS dominates the list — these accounts have material revenue and high YoY but no commercial lever. Cross-reference with (A)/(B) above — most "no-coverage + qualifies-growth" rows are direct STI targets and should be moved to UKIBNL FS or DACH FS STI in H2 (where ROI economics support it).

↗ (D) Cross-region JBP appetite — Stellantis

Stellantis is currently signed on a single regional JBP (Stellantis-EUI-FRSEU-IT). Stellantis UKIBNL ($1.13Mn YTD · +137% YoY) is therefore not JBP-supported under the strict NAL match — the IT deal does not extend to UKIBNL legal entities. Recommend confirming with the FRSEU GAM whether the holding-group has appetite to extend the JBP to UKIBNL (and potentially DACH) for FY '26: the UKIBNL row already qualifies on growth (+137% > 60% Auto threshold) and has agency relationship in place.

⚠ (E) What is dragging FS STI ROI down — clients & program type

Source: Data - STI 2026 (Filter for ROI = Y, Customer Vertical = Financial Services). 17 FS STI rows in total. The three loss-making teams (CEU 0.01× · IL 0.00× · DACH 0.00×) burned a combined $225.7K for $2.7K incremental revenue — and they share one root cause: 11 of 13 rows are the same program — Q1-26 Discretionary Fund (Seller-Led) (taxonomy DISCRETIONARY_FUND). The other two CEU rows are Ukraine agency payouts (CLIENT_ACTIVATION), also near-zero ROI. By contrast FRITES (2.55× ROI) uses PRODUCT_ADOPTION + REVENUE_ENABLEMENT programs, and UKIBNL (15.9× ROI) uses standard incentive plays — no Discretionary Fund spend in either.

  • Common thread (the answer to the question): $211.4K of the $225.7K loss-making FS STI spend (94%) is one program — Q1-26 Discretionary Fund (Seller-Led). It runs in CEU, IL and DACH and has produced essentially zero attributable incremental revenue across 11 rows.
  • Single-client concentration: CHILLI CHILL INC. alone absorbed $106.9K (47% of CEU FS Discretionary spend) across 4 separate Discretionary Fund payouts — and it is mis-tagged Customer Vertical = Financial Services but Customer Name suggests Gaming-EMEA, worth a data-quality check with the CEU GAM.
  • Tier mix is bottom-heavy: 9 of 11 Discretionary Fund FS rows are Tier 4–5 (long-tail / torso). Discretionary Fund as currently deployed is functioning as a Tier-5 retention subsidy in CEU, not as a true incentive lever.

✈️ Travel 3 events (UK · FR · DACH) $703K $96.5K 7.29x UK 7.5x · FR 10.4x · DACH 4.4x — only priority vertical with reliable measurement
💳 Fin Services 1 event (UK TTA Webinar) $445K $0 (n/a) n/a* Webinar reported with $0 business_cost — meaningful IR but ROI not computable
🚗 Automotive 1 event (UK TikTok Academy) $63K $0 (n/a) n/a* Webinar reported with $0 business_cost — small IR; opportunity to expand FY '26 calendar
Priority verticals subtotal 5 events $1.21Mn $96.5K 12.55x Travel-driven; FS / Auto webinars excluded from ROI denominator
Methodology: Total ROI = Σ Inc Revenue / Σ business_cost across vertical-specific events with measurable cost. Events with business_cost = $0 (typically webinars) are excluded from the ROI denominator but their IR is reported separately.
Read · Priority Verticals
  1. ✈️ Travel is the only priority vertical with reliable measurement — 3 events at 7.29x blended ROI ($703K IR / $96.5K cost). FR Top Table Travel (10.4x) is the format to scale; DACH Top Table Travel (4.4x) underperforms and needs a reformat or replacement before FY '26 booking.
  2. 💳 Fin Services and 🚗 Automotive ROI is not currently measurable — both run on a single $0-cost webinar each ($445K and $63K IR respectively). The IR is real but no cost denominator exists. FY '26 priority: commission at least 2-3 cost-measurable events per priority vertical per EU5 region (Top Table / Summit / Showcase format), so Travel-style ROI evidence can be built for FS and Auto.
  3. Priority subtotal of 12.55x clears the EU5 12x target, but it is entirely Travel-driven and the FS/Auto contribution (n/a) means the headline number is not yet defensible across all three priority verticals. Expanding measurable Auto and FS events is the single most important FY '26 marketing-mix decision.
