    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


    1. Presentation of Financial Statements
    The terms “Omnicom,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refer to Omnicom Group Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP or GAAP, for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Unless otherwise noted, dollars in tables are in millions, except per share amounts.
    In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the information contained herein. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, or 2024 10-K. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year.
    Agreement to Acquire IPG
    On December 8, 2024, Omnicom entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, by and among Omnicom, EXT Subsidiary Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom, or Merger Sub, and The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc., or IPG, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into IPG, or the Merger, with IPG surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom. On March 18, 2025, the shareholders of each of Omnicom and IPG approved the Merger. The completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including required regulatory approvals, which are ongoing. If completed, the Merger is expected to have a material impact on our ongoing results of operations and financial condition. In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded $33.8 million of acquisition related costs related to the Merger in selling, general and administrative expenses. The results of IPG are not included in our 2025 or 2024 results of operations or financial position.
    Risks and Uncertainties
    Global economic conditions and disruptions, including geopolitical events, international hostilities, acts of terrorism, public health crises, inflation or stagflation, tariffs and other trade barriers, central bank interest rate policies in countries that comprise our major markets, labor and supply chain issues affecting the distribution of our clients’ products, or a disruption in the credit markets could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The impact of these issues on our business will vary by geographic market and discipline. We monitor economic conditions closely, as well as client revenue levels and other factors. In response to reductions in revenue, we can take actions to align our cost structure with changes in client demand and manage our working capital. However, there can be no assurance as to the effectiveness of our efforts to mitigate any impact of the current and future adverse economic conditions, reductions in client revenue, changes in client creditworthiness and other developments.
    Accounting Changes
    On January 1, 2025, ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), became effective and requires, among other things, greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and for paid income taxes to be disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 affects financial statement disclosure only, which is not required until year end 2025 and, as a result, does not affect our results of operations or financial condition.
    2. Revenue

    5. Debt
    Credit Facilities
    Our $2.5 billion unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility, or Credit Facility, terminates on June 2, 2028. We can issue up to $2 billion of U.S. Dollar denominated commercial paper, and issue up to the equivalent of $500 million in British Pounds or Euro under a Euro commercial paper program. In addition, certain of our international subsidiaries have uncommitted credit lines that are guaranteed by Omnicom, aggregating $520.6 million. All of these facilities provide additional liquidity sources for operating capital and general corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no drawings under the Credit Facility and no commercial paper issuances.
    The Credit Facility has a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash charges) of no more than 3.5 times for the most recently ended 12-month period. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with this covenant as our Leverage Ratio was 2.4 times. The Credit Facility does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends or repurchase our common stock.
    Short-Term Debt
    Short-term debt of $19.1 million and $21.3 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, represented bank overdrafts and short-term borrowings primarily of our international subsidiaries. Due to the short-term nature of this debt, carrying value approximates fair value.

    6. Segment Reporting
    Our branded agency networks operate in the advertising, marketing and corporate communications services industry, and are organized into agency networks, virtual client networks, regional reporting units and operating groups or practice areas. Our networks, virtual client networks and agencies increasingly share clients and provide clients with integrated services. The main economic components of each agency are employee compensation and related costs, direct service costs and occupancy and other costs, which include rent and occupancy costs, technology costs and overhead expenses. Therefore, given these similarities, we aggregate our operating segments, which are our agency networks, into one reporting segment. The chief operating decision maker, or CODM, reviews segment operating income for each network and allocates resources accordingly. The CODM includes Omnicom’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer.
    Segment operating results include allocations of costs, including information technology, and other shared services costs, that are allocated using metrics designed to correlate the allocation with consumption.

    The agency networks' regional reporting units comprise three principal regions: the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. The regional reporting units monitor the performance and are responsible for the agencies in their region. Agencies within the regional reporting units serve similar clients in similar industries and, in many cases, the same clients and have similar economic characteristics.

    7. Income Taxes
    Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased period-over-period to 28.5% from 25.7%, due primarily to the non-deductibility of acquisition related costs related to the pending merger with IPG (see Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements). The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 includes the favorable impact from the resolution of certain non-U.S. tax positions of $7.5 million.
    Numerous foreign jurisdictions have enacted legislation to adopt a minimum effective tax rate described in the Global Anti-Base Erosion, or Pillar Two, model rules issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD. Under such rules, a minimum effective tax rate of 15% applies to multinational companies with consolidated revenue above €750 million.
    Under the Pillar Two rules, a company is required to determine a combined effective tax rate for all entities located in a jurisdiction. If the jurisdictional effective tax rate determined under the Pillar Two rules is less than 15%, a top-up tax will be due to bring the jurisdictional effective tax rate up to 15%. We are continuing to monitor Pillar Two legislative developments and the effects of Pillar Two on our business. The provisions effective in 2025 do not have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
    At March 31, 2025, our unrecognized tax benefits were $177.9 million. Of this amount, approximately $171.6 million would affect our effective tax rate upon resolution of the uncertain tax positions.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including our critical accounting estimates, and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report, should be read in conjunction with our 2024 Form 10-K.
    Agreement to Acquire IPG
    On December 8, 2024, Omnicom entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, by and among Omnicom, EXT Subsidiary Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom, or Merger Sub, and IPG, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into IPG, or the Merger, with IPG surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom. On March 18, 2025, the shareholders of each of Omnicom and IPG approved the Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, IPG shareholders will receive 0.344 shares of Omnicom common stock for each share of IPG common stock they own. Following the closing of the Merger, Omnicom shareholders are expected to own approximately 60.6% of the combined company, and IPG shareholders are expected to own approximately 39.4%, on a fully diluted basis. The completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including required regulatory approvals, which are ongoing. If completed, the Merger is expected to have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded $33.8 million of acquisition related costs in selling, general and administrative expenses. The results of IPG are not included in our 2025 or 2024 results of operations or financial position.
    Risks and Uncertainties
    Global economic conditions and disruptions, including geopolitical events, international hostilities, acts of terrorism, public health crises, inflation or stagflation, tariffs and other trade barriers, central bank interest rate policies in countries that comprise our major markets, labor and supply chain challenges affecting the distribution of our clients' products, or a disruption in the credit markets could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The impact of these issues on our business will vary by geographic market and discipline. We monitor economic conditions closely, as well as client revenue levels and other factors. In response to reductions in revenue, we can take actions to align our cost structure with changes in client demand and manage our working capital. However, there can be no assurance as to the effectiveness of our efforts to mitigate any impact of the current and future adverse economic conditions, reductions in client revenue, changes in client creditworthiness and other developments.
    Our Business
    We are a strategic holding company providing data-inspired, creative marketing and sales solutions to many of the largest global companies. Our portfolio of companies includes our global networks: Omnicom Advertising Group (OAG), Omnicom Media Group, the DAS Group of Companies, and the Communications Consultancy Network. OAG includes our creative brands BBDO, DDB, TBWA and the brands included within the Omnicom Advertising Collective. All of our global networks integrate their service offerings with the Omnicom branded practice areas, including Omnicom Health Group, Omnicom Precision Marketing Group, Omnicom Commerce Group, Omnicom Public Relations Group, Omnicom Brand Consulting Group, Flywheel Digital and Omnicom Production, as well as our Experiential businesses and Execution & Support businesses, which includes Omnicom Specialty Marketing Group.
    On a global, pan-regional, and local basis, our networks, practice areas and agencies provide a comprehensive range of services in the following fundamental disciplines: Media & Advertising, Precision Marketing, Public Relations, Healthcare, Branding & Retail Commerce, Experiential, and Execution & Support. Media & Advertising includes creative services across digital and traditional media, strategic media planning and buying, performance media, data analytics services, and Omnicom Production. Precision Marketing includes digital and direct marketing, digital transformation consulting, e-commerce operations, media execution, market intelligence and data and analytics. Public Relations services include corporate communications, crisis management, public affairs and media and media relations services. Healthcare includes corporate communications and advertising and media services to global healthcare and pharmaceutical companies. Branding & Retail Commerce services include brand and product consulting, strategy and research and retail marketing. Experiential marketing services include live and digital events and experience design and execution. Execution & Support includes field marketing, sales support, digital and physical merchandising, point-of-sale and product placement, as well as other specialized marketing and custom communications services. Our geographic markets include the Americas, which includes North America and Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa or EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.
    Our business model was built and continues to evolve around our clients. While our networks, practice areas and agencies operate under different names and frame their ideas in different disciplines, we organize our services around our clients. Our fundamental business principle is that our clients’ specific requirements are the central focus of how we structure our service offerings and allocate our resources. This client-centric business model requires that multiple agencies within Omnicom collaborate in formal and informal virtual client networks utilizing our key client matrix organization structure. This collaboration allows us to cut across our internal organizational structures to execute our clients’ marketing requirements in a consistent and comprehensive manner. We use our client-centric approach to grow our business by expanding our service offerings to existing
    15


    clients, moving into new markets and obtaining new clients. In addition, we pursue selective acquisitions of complementary companies with strong entrepreneurial management teams that could fill gaps in our service delivery to our existing clients.
    We believe generative AI will have a significant effect on how we provide services to our clients and how we enhance the productivity of our people. As with any new technology, we are working closely with our clients and technology partners to take advantage of the benefits of AI while being mindful of its limitations, risks, and privacy concerns. We are committed to responsible AI practices and collaboration to harness AI's potential, while evaluating related risks, such as ethical considerations, public perception and reputational concerns, intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance, privacy and data security concerns and our ability to effectively adopt this new emerging technology. The rapidly developing nature of AI technology makes it difficult to assess the full impact on our business at this time.
    Global economic conditions and disruptions have a direct impact on our business and financial performance. Adverse global economic conditions and disruptions pose a risk that our clients may reduce, postpone or cancel spending on marketing and communications services, which would reduce the demand for our services. Revenue is typically lower in the first and third quarters and higher in the second and fourth quarters, reflecting client spending patterns during the year and additional project work that usually occurs in the fourth quarter. Certain global events targeted by major marketers for advertising expenditures, such as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics, and certain national events, such as the U.S. election process, may affect our revenue year-over-year in certain businesses. Typically, these events do not have a significant impact on our revenue in any period.
    We operate in all major markets and have a large client base. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, our largest client accounted for 2.7% of our revenue, and our 100 largest clients, which represent many of the world’s major marketers, accounted for approximately 53.6% of our revenue. Our clients operate in virtually every sector of the global economy with no one industry representing more than 16% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Although our revenue is generally balanced between the United States and international markets, and we have a large and diverse client base, we are not immune to general economic downturns.
    Given our size and breadth, we manage our business by monitoring several financial indicators. The key performance indicators that we focus on are revenue growth and variability of operating expenses. We analyze revenue growth by reviewing the components and mix of the growth, including growth by principal regional market, practice area and marketing discipline, the impact from foreign currency exchange rate changes, growth from acquisitions, net of dispositions, and growth from our largest clients. Operating expenses primarily consist of cost of services, selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, and depreciation and amortization, and are analyzed for each network by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who allocates resources accordingly.
    Financial Performance
    Worldwide revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $59.9 million, or 1.6%, to $3,690.4 million, compared to $3,630.5 million in the prior year period. Worldwide organic revenue growth (defined below) increased revenue $121.9 million, or 3.4%, reflecting increased client spending across most of our disciplines, primarily driven by our Media & Advertising and Precision Marketing disciplines. In contrast, our Branding & Retail Commerce, Public Relations, and Healthcare disciplines had negative performance during the quarter, while our Experiential and Execution & Support disciplines remained relatively stable. Substantially all of our major geographic regions had positive organic growth compared to the prior year period. Organic growth in the quarter was led by our largest market, the U.S. In Europe, growth in most of our markets was offset by negative performance in the U.K. In Asia-Pacific, Australia and India had strong performances, which was partially offset by a weak performance in China, with the remaining markets flat. Changes in foreign exchange rates period-over-period reduced revenue $59.2 million, or 1.6%. Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue, reduced revenue $2.8 million, or 0.1%.
    The period-over-period change in worldwide revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, in our fundamental disciplines was: Media & Advertising increased $94.0 million, Precision Marketing increased $24.9 million, Public Relations decreased $20.8 million, Healthcare decreased $11.3 million, Branding & Retail Commerce decreased $26.0 million, Experiential decreased $1.5 million, and Execution & Support increased $0.6 million.
    The period-over-period change in worldwide revenue across our geographic markets for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was: North America increased $70.6 million, or 3.5%, Latin America decreased $0.1 million, or 0.1%, Europe decreased $10.8 million, or 1.1%, Middle East and Africa decreased $8.8 million, or 11.1%, and Asia-Pacific increased $9.0 million, or 2.2%.

    2) Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are acquisition related costs of $33.8 million ($32.7 million after-tax), in connection with the pending merger with IPG (see Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements), which reduced diluted net income per share - Omnicom Group Inc. by $0.17. There were no acquisition related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    3) EBITA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes and amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets. We believe EBITA is useful in evaluating the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets on operating performance and allows for comparability between reporting periods. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the effects of after-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets decreased diluted net income per share- Omnicom Group Inc. by $0.08 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

    1) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 23.
    2) Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are acquisition related costs of $33.8 million ($32.7 million after-tax), in connection with the pending merger with IPG (see Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial
    17


    statements), which reduced diluted net income per share - Omnicom Group Inc. by $0.17. There were no acquisition related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    3) EBITA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes and amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets. We believe EBITA is useful in evaluating the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets on operating performance and allows for comparability between reporting periods. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the effects of after-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets decreased diluted net income per share- Omnicom Group Inc. by $0.08 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

    The components and percentages are calculated as follows:
    •Foreign exchange rate impact is calculated by translating the current period’s local currency revenue using the prior period average exchange rates to derive current period constant currency revenue (in this case $3,749.6 million for the Total column). The foreign exchange impact is the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. Dollars and the current period constant currency revenue ($3,690.4 million less $3,749.6 million for the Total column).
    •Acquisition revenue is calculated as if the acquisition occurred twelve months prior to the acquisition date by aggregating the comparable prior period revenue of acquisitions through the acquisition date. As a result, acquisition revenue excludes the positive or negative difference between our current period revenue subsequent to the acquisition date and the comparable prior period revenue and the positive or negative growth after the acquisition is attributed to organic growth. Disposition revenue is calculated as if the disposition occurred twelve months prior to the disposition date by aggregating the comparable prior period revenue of dispositions through the disposition date. The acquisition revenue and disposition revenue amounts are netted in the table.
    •Organic growth is calculated by subtracting the foreign exchange rate impact, and the acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue components from total revenue growth.
    •The percentage change is calculated by dividing the individual component amount by the prior period revenue base of that component ($3,630.5 million for the Total column).
    Changes in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar affect our results of operations and financial position. For the most part, because the revenue and expense of our foreign operations are both denominated in the same local currency, the economic impact on operating margin is minimized. Assuming exchange rates at March 31, 2025 remain unchanged, we expect the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates will be a negative 0.5% for the second quarter and a negative 1.0% for the full year. Based on our acquisition and disposition activity completed to date, we expect the net impact on revenue to remain flat for both the second quarter and the full year.

    Revenue by Discipline
    To monitor the changing needs of our clients and to further expand the scope of our services to key clients, we monitor revenue across a broad range of disciplines and group them into the following categories: Media & Advertising, Precision Marketing, Public Relations, Healthcare, Branding & Retail Commerce, Experiential and Execution & Support.

    Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, we realigned the classification of certain services, primarily within our Media & Advertising, Branding & Retail Commerce, Precision Marketing and Public Relations disciplines. As a result, we reclassified the prior year periods to be consistent with the revised classifications.
    The period-over-period change in worldwide revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, in our fundamental disciplines was: Media & Advertising increased $94.0 million, Precision Marketing increased $24.9 million, Public Relations decreased $20.8 million, Healthcare decreased $11.3 million, Branding & Retail Commerce decreased $26.0 million, Experiential decreased $1.5 million, and Execution & Support increased $0.6 million. Worldwide organic revenue growth increased revenue $121.9 million, or 3.4%, primarily reflecting increased client spending across most of our disciplines, primarily driven by Media & Advertising, led by our media business, and Precision Marketing disciplines compared to the prior year period. The organic growth was partially offset by underperformance in our Branding & Retail Commerce, Public Relations and Healthcare disciplines. Changes in foreign exchange rates period-over-period reduced revenue $59.2 million, or 1.6%. The decrease in revenue from foreign exchange translation was primarily related to the weakening of most currencies, including the Euro, Brazilian Real, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Mexican Peso and British Pound, against the U.S. Dollar. Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue, reduced revenue $2.8 million, or 0.1%.
    In the normal course of business, our agencies both gain and lose business from clients each year due to a variety of factors. Under our client-centric approach, we seek to broaden our relationships with all of our clients. Our largest client represented 2.7% and 3.0% of revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our ten largest and 100 largest clients represented 19.1% and 53.6% of revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and 20.0% and 53.8% of revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.

    North America
    In North America, organic revenue growth period-over-period for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by strong performance in the United States, especially in the Media & Advertising discipline, led by our media business, and our Precision Marketing, Experiential and Execution & Support disciplines. The organic growth was partially offset by underperformance in our Branding & Retail Commerce, Public Relations and Healthcare disciplines.
    Latin America
    In Latin America, organic revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was led by our Media & Advertising discipline, and in substantially all countries in the region, compared to the prior year period. The weakening of all currencies, especially the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso, against the U.S. Dollar decreased revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period.
    EMEA
    In Europe, compared to the prior year period, organic revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by strong performance in our Media & Advertising discipline, led by our media business, and in our Experiential discipline, partially offset by underperformance in our Precision Marketing, Healthcare, Branding & Retail Commerce and Public Relations disciplines. Foreign currency changes decreased revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of the weakening of the Euro and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar period-over-period.
    In the U.K., for the three months ended March 31, 2025, organic revenue decreased period-over-period by 0.7%. In Continental Europe, which includes the Euro Zone and the other European countries, organic revenue growth of 1.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was led by Czech Republic, Italy and Poland, primarily driven by our Media & Advertising and Experiential disciplines.
    In the Middle East and Africa, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, organic revenue decreased period-over-period by 9.3%, primarily due to underperformance in our Experiential discipline.
    Asia-Pacific
    In Asia-Pacific, organic revenue increased period-over-period for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by 6.0%. Organic growth, led by our Media & Advertising discipline, was partially offset by underperformance in our Experiential and Public Relations disciplines. Several markets in the region, especially India and Australia, had positive organic growth, partially offset by weakening in China, as compared to the prior year period. Foreign currency changes decreased revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of the weakening of several currencies, including the Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar and Japanese Yen, against the U.S. Dollar.

    We measure cost of services in two distinct categories: salary and service costs and occupancy and other costs. As a service business, salary and service costs make up a significant portion of our operating expenses and substantially all these costs comprise the essential components directly linked to the delivery of our services. Salary and service costs include employee compensation and benefits, freelance labor, third-party service costs, and third-party incidental costs. Third-party service costs include vendor costs when we act as principal in providing services to our clients. Third-party incidental costs that are required to be included in revenue primarily consist of client-related travel and incidental out-of-pocket costs that are billed back to the client directly at our cost. Occupancy and other costs consist of the indirect costs related to the delivery of our services, including office rent and other occupancy costs, equipment rent, technology costs, general office expenses and other expenses. Adverse and beneficial fluctuations in foreign currencies from period to period impact our results of operations and financial position when we translate our financial statements from local foreign currencies to the U.S. Dollar. However, substantially all of our foreign operations transact business in their local currency, mitigating the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our operating margin percentage. As a result, the changes in our operating expenses period-over-period from foreign currency translation were in line with the percentage impact from changes in foreign currencies on revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
    Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $86.2 million, or 2.7%, to $3,237.8 million from $3,151.6 million, compared to the prior year period. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are acquisition related costs of $33.8 million ($32.7 million after-tax), related to the pending merger with IPG (see Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements).
    Operating Expenses - Salary and Service Costs
    Salary and service costs, which tend to fluctuate with changes in revenue, are comprised of salary and related costs, third-party service costs, and third-party incidental costs.
    Salary and service costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $53.7 million, or 2.0%, to $2,746.3 million, compared to the prior year period. Salary and related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $66.8 million, or 3.6%, to $1,780.5 million. These costs decreased primarily due to the reduction arising from our repositioning actions in 2024 and global employee mix. Third-party service costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $98.6 million, or 14.1%, to $796.8 million, primarily as a result of organic growth in our Media & Advertising discipline. Third-party incidental costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $21.9 million, or 14.9%, to $169.0 million, primarily as a result of organic growth.
    Operating Expenses - Occupancy and Other Costs
    Occupancy and other costs are less directly linked to changes in revenue than salary and service costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, occupancy and other costs increased by $0.5 million to $314.6 million.

    21


    Operating Expenses - Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
    SG&A expenses primarily consist of third-party marketing costs, professional fees, compensation and benefits and occupancy and other costs of our corporate and executive offices, including group-wide finance and accounting, treasury, legal and governance, human resource oversight and similar costs. SG&A expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by $32.6 million, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to acquisition related costs of $33.8 million ($32.7 million after-tax), in connection with the pending merger with IPG (see Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements).
    Operating Income
    Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $26.3 million to $452.6 million, and operating margin decreased to 12.3% from 13.2% compared to the same period in 2024. EBITA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $26.0 million to $474.4 million, and EBITA Margin decreased to 12.9% from 13.8%. Acquisition related costs recorded in the first quarter of 2025 (see Note 1 to the unaudited financial statements) reduced both operating income and EBITA by $33.8 million, and reduced both operating margin and EBITA margin by 0.9%.
    Net Interest Expense
    Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $2.6 million period-over-period to $29.4 million. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $5.3 million period-over-period to $59.1 million, primarily related to the higher weighted average cost of debt in connection with our financing activities in 2024. Interest income in the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $2.7 million period-over-period to $29.7 million, principally due to higher cash balances.
    Income Taxes
    Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased period-over-period to 28.5% from 25.7%, due primarily to the non-deductibility of acquisition related costs related to the pending merger with IPG. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, includes the favorable impact from the resolution of certain non-U.S. tax positions of $7.5 million.
    Net Income and Net Income Per Share - Omnicom Group, Inc.
    Net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $30.9 million to $287.7 million from $318.6 million. The period-over-period decrease is due to the factors described above. Diluted net income per share - Omnicom Group Inc. decreased to $1.45 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $1.59 in the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to the factors described above and the impact of the reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding resulting from repurchases of our common stock. After-tax, the acquisition related costs recorded in the first quarter of 2025 (see Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements) reduced net income - Omnicom Group Inc. by $32.7 million and diluted net income per share - Omnicom Group Inc. by $0.17.
    In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the effect of after-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets decreased diluted net income per share by $0.08 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
    We use certain non-GAAP financial measures in describing our performance. We use EBITA and EBITA Margin as additional operating performance measures, which excludes from operating income the non-cash amortization expense of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets. We believe EBITA and EBITA Margin are useful measures for investors to evaluate the performance of our business and allows for comparability between the periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
    Cash Sources and Requirements
    The primary sources of our short-term liquidity are net cash provided by operating activities and cash and cash equivalents. Additional liquidity sources include our $2.5 billion unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility, or Credit Facility, terminating on June 2, 2028, and the ability to issue up to $2 billion of U.S. Dollar denominated commercial paper and issue up to the equivalent of $500 million in British Pounds or Euro under a Euro commercial paper program, and access to the capital markets. In addition, certain of our international subsidiaries have uncommitted credit lines that are guaranteed by Omnicom, aggregating $520.6 million. Our liquidity sources fund our non-discretionary cash requirements and our discretionary spending.
    Working capital, which we define as current assets minus current liabilities, is our principal non-discretionary funding requirement. Our working capital cycle typically peaks during the second quarter of the year due to the timing of payments for incentive compensation, income taxes and contingent purchase price obligations. In addition, we have contractual obligations related to our long-term debt (principal and interest payments), recurring business operations, primarily related to lease obligations, and acquisition related obligations. Our principal discretionary cash spending includes dividend payments to common shareholders, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock.
    Cash and cash equivalents decreased $961.1 million from December 31, 2024. During the first three months of 2025, we used $786.8 million of cash in operating activities, which included the use for operating capital of $1.2 billion, primarily related to our typical working capital cycle. Discretionary spending for the first three months of 2025 was $253.7 million, compared to $1.2 billion for the first three months of 2024, which included $801.5 million for acquisition of businesses and interests in affiliates, net of cash acquired. Discretionary spending for the first three months of 2025 was comprised of capital expenditures of $29.5 million, dividends paid to common shareholders of $137.7 million, dividends paid to shareholders of noncontrolling interests of $13.0 million, repurchases of our common stock, net of proceeds from vesting of restricted stock awards and related tax benefits and common stock sold under our employee stock purchase plan of $69.5 million, the acquisition of additional shares of noncontrolling interests, and payment of contingent purchase price obligations of $4.0 million. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that net cash provided by operating activities and cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our
    23



    non-discretionary cash requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, and over the longer term, our Credit Facility is available to fund our working capital and contractual obligations.
    Cash Management
    Our regional treasury centers in North America, Europe and Asia manage our cash and liquidity. Each day, operations with excess funds invest those funds with their regional treasury center. Likewise, operations that require funds borrow from their regional treasury center. Treasury centers with excess cash invest on a short-term basis with third parties, with maturities generally ranging from overnight to 90 days. Certain treasury centers have notional pooling arrangements that are used to manage their cash and set-off foreign exchange imbalances. The arrangements require each treasury center to have its own notional pool account and to maintain a notional positive account balance. Additionally, under the terms of the arrangement, set-off of foreign exchange positions are limited to the long and short positions within their own account. To the extent that our treasury centers require liquidity, they can issue up to a total of $2 billion of U.S. Dollar-denominated commercial paper and issue up to the equivalent of $500 million in British Pounds or Euro under a Euro commercial paper program, or borrow under the Credit Facility, or the uncommitted credit lines. This process enables us to manage our debt more efficiently and utilize our cash more effectively, as well as manage our risk to foreign exchange rate imbalances. In countries where we either do not conduct treasury operations or it is not feasible for one of our treasury centers to fund net borrowing requirements on an intercompany basis, we arrange for local currency uncommitted credit lines. We have a policy governing counterparty credit risk with financial institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents, and we have deposit limits for each institution. In countries where we conduct treasury operations, generally the counterparties are either branches or subsidiaries of institutions that are party to the Credit Facility. These institutions generally have credit ratings equal to or better than our credit ratings. In countries where we do not conduct treasury operations, all cash and cash equivalents are held by counterparties that meet specific minimum credit standards.
    At March 31, 2025, our foreign subsidiaries held approximately $1.8 billion of our total cash and cash equivalents of $3.4 billion. Substantially all of the cash is available to us, net of any foreign withholding taxes payable upon repatriation to the United States.
    At March 31, 2025, our net debt position, which we define as total debt, including short-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents, increased $1.0 billion to $2.8 billion from December 31, 2024. The increase in net debt primarily resulted from the use of cash of $786.8 million for operating activities, which included the use for operating capital of $1.2 billion, primarily related to our typical working capital requirement during the period and discretionary spending of $253.7 million, as discussed above.

Non-GAAP liquidity measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP liquidity measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

    Our 2.45% Senior Notes due 2030, 4.20% Senior Notes due 2030, 2.60% Senior Notes due 2031 and 5.30% Senior Notes due 2034 are senior unsecured obligations of Omnicom that rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.
    Omnicom and its wholly owned finance subsidiary, Omnicom Capital Inc., or OCI, are co-obligors under the 3.60% Senior Notes due April 2026. These notes are a joint and several liability of Omnicom and OCI, and Omnicom unconditionally guarantees OCI’s obligations with respect to the notes. OCI provides funding for our operations by incurring debt and lending the proceeds to our operating subsidiaries. OCI’s assets primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and intercompany loans made to our operating subsidiaries, and the related interest receivable. There are no restrictions on the ability of OCI or Omnicom to obtain funds from our subsidiaries through dividends, loans, or advances. Such notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.

    24



    Omnicom and OCI have, jointly and severally, fully, and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of Omnicom Finance Holdings plc, or OFH, a U.K.-based wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom, with respect to the €500 million 0.80% Senior Notes due 2027 and the €500 million 1.40% Senior Notes due 2031, and Omnicom has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of OFH with respect to the €600 million 3.70% Senior Notes due 2032, collectively the Euro Notes. OFH’s assets consist of its investments in several wholly owned finance companies that function as treasury centers, providing funding for various operating companies in Europe, Australia, and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The finance companies’ assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and intercompany loans that they make or have made to the operating companies in their respective regions and the related interest receivable. There are no restrictions on the ability of Omnicom, OCI or OFH to obtain funds from their subsidiaries through dividends, loans, or advances. The Euro Notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations that rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness of OFH and each of Omnicom and OCI, as applicable.
    Omnicom has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of Omnicom Capital Holdings plc, or OCH, a U.K.-based wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom, with respect to the £325 million 2.25% Senior Notes due 2033, or the Sterling Notes. OCH’s assets consist of its investments in several wholly owned finance companies that function as treasury centers, providing funding for various operating companies in EMEA, Australia, and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The finance companies’ assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and intercompany loans that they make or have made to the operating companies in their respective regions and the related interest receivable. There are no restrictions on the ability of Omnicom or OCH to obtain funds from their subsidiaries through dividends, loans, or advances. The Sterling Notes and the related guarantee are senior unsecured obligations that rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness of OCH and Omnicom, respectively.
    The Credit Facility has a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash charges) of no more than 3.5 times for the most recently ended 12-month period. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with this covenant as our Leverage Ratio was 2.4 times. The Credit Facility does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends or repurchase our common stock.
    At March 31, 2025, our long-term and short-term debt was rated BBB+ and A2 by S&P and Baa1 and P2 by Moody’s. Our access to the commercial paper market and the cost of these borrowings are affected by market conditions and our credit ratings. The long-term debt indentures and Credit Facility do not contain provisions that require acceleration of cash payments in the event of a downgrade in our credit ratings.
    Credit Markets and Availability of Credit
    In light of the uncertainty of future economic conditions, we will continue to take actions available to us to respond to changing economic conditions, and we will manage our discretionary expenditures. We will also continue to monitor and manage the level of credit made available to our clients. We believe that these actions, in addition to the availability of our Credit Facility, are sufficient to fund our near-term working capital needs and our discretionary spending. Information regarding our Credit Facility is provided in Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
    We have the ability to fund our day-to-day liquidity, including working capital, by issuing commercial paper or borrowing under the Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no drawings under the Credit Facility, and no commercial paper issuances.
    We may issue commercial paper to fund our day-to-day liquidity when needed. However, disruptions in the credit markets may lead to periods of illiquidity in the commercial paper market and higher credit spreads. To mitigate any disruption in the credit markets and to fund our liquidity, we may borrow under the Credit Facility, or the uncommitted credit lines or access the capital markets if favorable conditions exist. We will continue to monitor closely our liquidity and conditions in the credit markets. We cannot predict with any certainty the impact on us of any disruptions in the credit markets. In such circumstances, we may need to obtain additional financing to fund our day-to-day working capital requirements. Such additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
    Credit Risk
    We provide marketing and communications services to several thousand clients that operate in nearly every sector of the global economy, and we grant credit to qualified clients in the normal course of business. Due to the diversified nature of our client base, we do not believe that we are exposed to a concentration of credit risk, as our largest client represented 2.7% of revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. However, during periods of economic downturn, the credit profiles of our clients could change.
    In the normal course of business, our agencies enter into contractual commitments with media providers and production companies on behalf of our clients at levels that can substantially exceed the revenue from our services. These commitments are included in accounts payable when the services are delivered by the media providers or production companies. If permitted by local law and the client agreement, many of our agencies purchase media and production services for our clients as an agent for a disclosed principal. In addition, while operating practices vary by country, media type and media vendor, in the United States and
    25



    certain foreign markets, many of our agencies’ contracts with media and production providers specify that our agencies are not liable to the media and production providers under the theory of sequential liability until and to the extent we have been paid by our client for the media or production services.
    Where purchases of media and production services are made by our agencies as a principal or are not subject to the theory of sequential liability, the risk of a material loss as a result of payment default by our clients could increase significantly, and such a loss could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.
    While we use various methods to manage the risk of payment default, including obtaining credit insurance, requiring payment in advance, mitigating the potential loss in the marketplace or negotiating with media providers, these may be insufficient, less available, or unavailable during a severe economic downturn.
    CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
    For a more complete understanding of our accounting estimates and policies, the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, readers are encouraged to consider this information together with our discussion of our critical accounting policies under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2024 10-K.
    ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
    We manage our exposure to foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk through various strategies, including the use of derivative financial instruments. We use forward foreign exchange contracts as economic hedges to manage the cash flow volatility arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We use net investment hedges to manage the volatility of foreign exchange rates on the investment in our foreign subsidiaries. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Using derivatives exposes us to the credit risk that counterparties to the derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. We manage that risk through careful selection and ongoing evaluation of the counterparty financial institutions based on specific minimum credit standards and other factors. Our 2024 10-K provides a detailed discussion of the market risks affecting our operations. No material change has occurred in our market risks since the disclosure contained in our 2024 10-K. Note 12 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements provides a discussion of our foreign currency derivatives and cross currency swaps as of March 31, 2025.
    ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
    We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within applicable time periods. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, including our CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that decisions can be made timely with respect to required disclosures, as well as ensuring that the recording, processing, summarization and reporting of information required to be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 are appropriate.
    Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management, with the participation of our CEO, CFO and our agencies, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2025. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
    KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 10-K, has issued an attestation report on Omnicom’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, dated February 5, 2025.
    PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
    Item 1. Legal Proceedings
    In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings. We do not presently expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.

    26



    Item 1A. Risk Factors
    There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A in our 2024 10-K, except as follows:
    The Merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, and the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms.
    The Merger is subject to a number of conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the completion of the Merger, including, among others, the receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and the approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, of the shares of our common stock issuable to IPG stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
    These conditions to the completion of the Merger may not be satisfied or waived in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the Merger may be delayed or may not be completed. For example, Omnicom or IPG may be unable to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals required for the Merger, or such approvals may be received later than anticipated or may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Merger.
    If the Merger is not completed by December 8, 2025, which date may be extended to June 8, 2026 in certain circumstances, either we or IPG may choose not to proceed with the Merger by terminating the Merger Agreement, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time. In addition, we and IPG may elect to terminate the Merger in certain other circumstances as set forth in the Merger Agreement. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, Omnicom would be required to pay IPG a termination fee of $676 million.
    Litigation relating to the Merger, if any, could result in an injunction preventing the completion of the Merger and/or substantial costs to us.
    Following the announcement of the Merger, several lawsuits have been filed by purported shareholders of Omnicom and IPG concerning the Merger. Omnicom and IPG have also received demand letters from counsel representing purported individual shareholders of Omnicom and IPG, respectively, alleging, among other things, that the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by Omnicom and IPG in connection with the Merger contains disclosure deficiencies and/or incomplete information regarding the Merger.
    Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger or other business combination agreements like the Merger Agreement. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition. Lawsuits that have been, or may in the future, be brought against us, IPG, or our or their directors could also seek, among other things, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including a request to rescind parts of the Merger Agreement already implemented and to otherwise enjoin the parties from consummating the Merger. One of the conditions to the closing of the Merger is that no Law or Order (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) is promulgated, entered, enforced, enacted or issued by any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction in which we, IPG, or our or their subsidiaries have material assets or material business operations, which prohibits, restrains or makes illegal the consummation of the Merger. Consequently, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Merger, that injunction may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed within the expected timeframe or at all, which may adversely affect our businesses, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, either we or IPG may terminate the Merger Agreement if any Law or Order has been promulgated, entered, enforced, enacted or issued by any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction in which we, IPG, or our or their subsidiaries have material assets or material business operations, which is in effect and permanently prohibits, restrains, enjoins or makes illegal the consummation of the Merger, so long as our or Merger Sub’s (in the case of a termination by us) or IPG’s (in the case of a termination by IPG) material breach of any obligations under the Merger Agreement has not been the primary cause of, or resulted in, the enactment or issuance of such Law or Order, decree, ruling, injunction or other action.
