(Dollars in tables in millions, except per share amounts.)

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, including statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives have made, or may make, forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. These statements may discuss goals, intentions, and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “future”, “guidance”, “intend”, “may”, “will”, “possible”, “potential”, “predict”, “project” or similar words, phrases or expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include:

  • risks relating to the Merger, including risks related to the integration of IPG’s business, such as, among others: uncertainties associated with retaining key management and other employees; potential disruptions to client, vendor, and business partner relationships; the risk that integration activities may be more time-consuming, complex, or costly than expected; the possibility that anticipated synergies, efficiencies, and other benefits of the Merger may not be realized, or may be realized more slowly than anticipated; and risks associated with managing a larger, more complex combined organization and effectively integrating systems, processes, operations, and cultures;

  • adverse economic conditions, 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;

  • international, national, or local economic conditions that could adversely affect us or our clients;

  • reductions in client spending, a slowdown in client payments or a deterioration or disruption in the credit markets;

  • the ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients in the manner anticipated;

  • changes in client marketing and communications services requirements;

  • failure to manage potential conflicts of interest between or among clients;

  • unanticipated changes related to competitive factors in the marketing and communications services industries;

  • unanticipated changes to, or an inability to hire and retain, key personnel;

  • currency exchange rate fluctuations;

  • reliance on information technology systems and risks related to cybersecurity incidents;

  • effective management of the risks, challenges, and efficiencies presented by utilizing artificial intelligence, or AI, technologies and related partnerships in our business, and their use by our competitors;

  • failure to adapt to technological developments;

  • our liquidity, long-term financing needs, credit ratings, and access to capital markets;

  • changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting us or our clients;

  • losses on media purchases and production costs incurred on behalf of clients;

  • risks associated with assumptions we make in connection with our acquisitions, critical accounting estimates, and legal proceedings;

  • our international operations, which are subject to the risks of currency repatriation restrictions, social or political conditions and an evolving regulatory environment in high-growth markets and developing countries;

  • risks related to our environmental, social, and governance goals and initiatives, including impacts from regulators and other stakeholders, and the impact of factors outside of our control on such goals and initiatives;

  • changes in tax rates, tax laws, regulations or interpretations, or adverse outcomes of tax audits or proceedings; and

  • other business, financial, operational, and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s business, including those described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2025 10-K, and in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report and in other documents filed from time to time with the SEC. Except as required under applicable law, we do not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

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 2025 Form 10-K.

Merger with IPG

On the Closing Date, Omnicom completed the Merger. Omnicom is the acquirer of IPG under U.S. GAAP, and as a result, the consolidated financial statements of Omnicom for periods prior to the Closing Date do not include the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of IPG. The results of operations of IPG are included in Omnicom’s consolidated financial statements only from the Closing Date forward. Accordingly, Omnicom’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows after the Closing Date are not comparable to prior periods due to the inclusion of IPG’s results from the Closing Date (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

Risks and Uncertainties

Global economic 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 our major markets, and labor or supply chain challenges, could contribute to economic uncertainty and volatility. The impact of these conditions on our business may vary by geographic market and service discipline. We monitor macroeconomic conditions, client revenue levels, and other relevant factors and may take actions to align our cost structure with changes in client demand and to manage working capital. However, there can be no assurance that such actions will be sufficient to mitigate the effects of adverse economic conditions, reductions in client spending, changes in client creditworthiness, or other developments.

Our Business

Omnicom is a strategic holding company that operates through global networks, connected capabilities and specialized agencies, which connect its comprehensive portfolio of companies to deliver marketing, sales, communications, and commerce services to many of the largest global companies. Our products and service offerings support client objectives across our primary focus areas: media, data, commerce, CRM, content, creativity and AI.

Omnicom’s agencies integrate data, creativity, and technology to deliver coordinated marketing, communications, and commerce solutions. All of our agencies are supported by our integrated technology platform: Omni, which includes Acxiom and Interact, which were acquired from IPG and Flywheel Commerce Cloud, respectively, as well as privacy-focused identity and data management capabilities. These capabilities include

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 2025 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 2025 10-K. Note 15 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements provides a discussion of our foreign currency derivatives and cross currency swaps as of June 30, 2026.

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 (the "Exchange Act"), is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, ("CEO"), and Chief Financial Officer, ("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 June 30, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, 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 June 30, 2026 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 June 30, 2026. 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 2025 Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on Omnicom’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, dated February 20, 2026.

  1. On February 18, 2026, Omnicom announced that its Board of Directors had approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $5.0 billion of the Company's common stock as part of the Company's capital allocation strategy. Pursuant to this authorization, we also entered into an accelerated share repurchase program to repurchase approximately $2.5 billion of our common stock. Under the share repurchase program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with applicable SEC and other legal requirements. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions, and other considerations.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we purchased 10,130,806 shares under the accelerated share repurchase program and under a plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, Additionally, we withheld 141,080 shares from employees to satisfy estimated statutory income tax obligations related to vesting of restricted stock awards and stock option exercises. The value of the common stock withheld was based on the closing price of our common stock on the applicable vesting or exercise date. There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Item 5. Other Information

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, none of our directors or officers adopted, modified, or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, in each case as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
