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 ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP"), for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, ("SEC"). 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, 2025 (the "2025 10-K"). Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year.
Merger with IPG
On November 26, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Omnicom completed its merger (the "Merger") with The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. ("IPG"). 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 are not comparable to historical periods due to the inclusion of IPG’s results from the Closing Date. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for more information related to the Merger.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $40.1 million and $99.5 million, respectively, of integration and acquisition related costs related to the Merger in selling, general and administrative expenses.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $66.0 million and $99.8 million, respectively, of acquisition related costs related to the Merger in selling, general and administrative expenses. The results of IPG are not included in our 2025 results of operations.
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.

The number of potential shares of common stock excluded from diluted shares outstanding was 6.2 million and 6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 6.2 million and 5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, because the effect of including those shares of common stock in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.
The increase in our weighted average shares in 2026 is a result of the inclusion of outstanding shares issued in connection with the acquisition of IPG, see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

*The increase in goodwill in the six months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily attributable to adjustments to the preliminary purchase price accounting for the IPG acquisition in November 2025 (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements). There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and there are no accumulated goodwill impairment charges.
We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of May 1, 2026. The market assumptions used in our assessment reflected the current economic environment (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements). Based on the results of our impairment test, we concluded that our goodwill was not impaired at May 1, 2026.

5. Business Combinations
On November 26, 2025, we completed the Merger (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements). The acquisition combines complementary capabilities and service offerings and is expected to expand client opportunities and support long-term growth.
Purchase Consideration
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the 361,498,876 shares of IPG common stock (the “IPG common stock”) (par value $0.10 per share) that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were converted into 124,352,188 shares of Omnicom common stock (par value $0.15 per share) and cash in lieu of fractional shares, based on an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) of 0.344 shares of Omnicom common stock for each share of IPG common stock. Following the closing of the Merger, legacy Omnicom shareholders owned approximately 60.6% of the combined company, and legacy IPG shareholders owned approximately 39.4%, on a fully diluted basis.
The total consideration paid at closing was $8,893.5 million, consisting primarily of equity consideration of $8,891.2 million, excluding debt assumed in connection with Omnicom's offer to exchange all outstanding notes of certain series issued by IPG. The following table summarizes the purchase consideration:
| Fair value of shares issued to IPG shareholders1 | $8,891.2 | ||||
| Cash paid for fractional shares | $0.3 | ||||
| Fair value of equity awards2 | $2.0 | ||||
| Total Consideration | $8,893.5 |
-
The fair value of shares issued reflects the number of IPG shares outstanding at the Closing Date multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and Omnicom’s closing share price on the Closing Date.
-
Represents the fair value of director awards that were settled as part of the closing consideration through the issuance of shares and assumed stock option awards.

The purchase accounting process has not been completed as of June 30, 2026, including the finalization of the purchase price allocation. The Company has not yet finalized the valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets. The preliminary fair values of identifiable assets as of June 30, 2026 include Trade Names of $792.0 million, Customer Relationships of $3,616.0 million, and Technology and Other of $170.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the adjustments to goodwill related primarily to the updates of the fair value of acquired software and deferred taxes. The purchase price allocation may be adjusted during the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the Closing Date.
Integration and Acquisition-Related Costs
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred approximately $40.1 million and $99.5 million, respectively, of integration and acquisition related costs associated primarily with the acquisition of IPG. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred approximately $66.0 million and $99.8 million, respectively, of acquisition related costs associated primarily with the acquisition of IPG. These costs consist mainly of third-party professional fees and were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The Company may incur additional integration and acquisition-related costs in the future related to the acquisition of IPG.
6. Debt
Credit Facility
On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Five Year Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which amended and restated the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Five Year Credit Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2023. The Credit Agreement Amendment, among other things, (i) increased the unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) amount from $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion, (ii) reduced the facility fee and applicable margin, (iii) extended the termination date (with respect to the available commitments of the extending lenders) from June 2, 2028 to November 26, 2030 and (iv) designated Omnicom as sole borrower under the Credit Facility.
We can issue up to $3.0 billion of U.S. Dollar denominated commercial paper under a U.S. commercial paper program, and issue up to the equivalent of $500 million in British Pounds, Euro, or U.S. Dollars under a Euro commercial paper program. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries have uncommitted credit lines that are guaranteed by Omnicom, aggregating $919.1 million. All of these facilities provide additional liquidity sources for operating capital and general corporate purposes. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we issued commercial paper, and the average and maximum amounts outstanding during the quarter were $34.0 million and $230.0 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we issued commercial paper, and the average and maximum amounts outstanding were $147.3 million and $632.6 million, respectively. There were no issuances of commercial paper for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. At both June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no outstanding commercial paper issuances.
The Credit Facility has a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) 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 June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with this covenant as our Leverage Ratio, computed in accordance with the terms of the facility, 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 $48.8 million and $62.0 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, represented bank overdrafts and short-term borrowings primarily of our international subsidiaries.

On March 2, 2026, Omnicom closed its public offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.200% Senior Notes due 2029, $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2033 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.300% Senior Notes due 2036. In addition, on March 2, 2026, Omnicom Finance Holdings plc, a U.K.-based wholly-owned subsidiary of Omnicom ("OFH"), closed its public offering of €600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.850% Senior Notes due 2034, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Omnicom. Omnicom used a portion of the net proceeds of these offerings to repay its $1.4 billion 3.600% Senior Notes due 2026, which were fully redeemed at par on March 13, 2026. Omnicom intends to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.
Omnicom has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of OFH with respect to the €500 million 0.800% Senior Notes due 2027, the €500 million 1.400% Senior Notes due 2031, the €600 million 3.700% Senior Notes due 2032, and the €600 million 3.850% Senior Notes due 2034 (collectively, the "Euro Notes").

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 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 Omnicom, respectively.
Omnicom has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of Omnicom Capital Holdings plc ("OCH") a U.K.-based wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom, with respect to the £325 million aggregate principal amount of 2.250% Senior Notes due 2033 (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.
7. 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 connected capabilities. 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 four operating segments, which are our global agency networks, into one reporting segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, reviews segment operating income for each network and allocates resources accordingly. Beginning in December of 2025, we integrated the newly acquired IPG businesses into our existing four networks. 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.

8. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 27.0% compared to 29.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the non-deductibility of certain integration and acquisition related costs in connection with the Merger that negatively impacted the effective tax rate in 2025. The effective tax rates for 2026 and 2025 reflect the impact of the lower tax benefit associated with severance and repositioning charges and IPG acquisition related costs.
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 ("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.
On January 5, 2026, the OECD released comprehensive administrative guidance on the “side-by-side system” to streamline Pillar Two’s global minimum tax rules, which would exclude U.S. parented groups from certain Pillar Two provisions in recognition of existing U.S. minimum tax rules. The side-by-side safe harbor election will be effective beginning in 2026, once adopted into domestic legislation, with the transitional safe harbor extended through 2027 to facilitate the implementation of this permanent system. Overall, the rules are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law in the U.S., which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. The legislation does not have a material impact on our financial statements.
At June 30, 2026, our gross unrecognized tax benefits were $442.5 million. Of this amount, approximately $426.5 million would affect our effective tax rate upon resolution of the uncertain tax positions.

In the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we contributed $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, to the defined benefit pension plans.
10. Severance and Repositioning Costs
Severance and repositioning costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $47.0 million and $51.1 million, respectively, and consist primarily of severance and employee-related termination benefits, as well as real estate repositioning costs. Severance and repositioning costs reflect integration related actions and adjustments to estimates for actions taken during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to the Merger.
In connection with our strategic initiatives, operating expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included $88.8 million ($67.2 million after-tax) of repositioning costs, primarily related to severance actions related to efficiency initiatives, primarily within the Omnicom Advertising Group and the Omnicom Production Group.
The following table summarizes activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026 related to adjustments to liabilities for severance and contract terminations and other, which are expected to be settled in cash. In addition, real estate write-downs of $1.4 million were recorded during the period, which is a non-cash charge.

11. Loss on Assets Held for Sale or Dispositions of Subsidiaries
During the fourth quarter of 2025, management determined that the assets and liabilities of certain businesses planned for disposition in the next twelve months, primarily within the Advertising and Experiential & Other (formerly, Execution & Support) disciplines, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Accordingly, these businesses were recorded at net realizable value - fair value less cost to sell. The disposals do not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation.
In the first quarter of 2026, we recorded impairment charges of $34.3 million to write down the businesses identified for disposition to net realizable value. Fair value was determined using discounted cash flow analyses, supplemented by observable market inputs where available. These charges were recorded in loss on assets held for sale and dispositions in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, we closed on the sale of certain legacy IPG businesses and recorded an adjustment to goodwill (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).
The following table presents the major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and included in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately within current assets and current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026.

The estimated fair value of the foreign currency derivatives and the cross-currency swaps are determined using model-derived valuations, taking into consideration foreign currency rates, interest rates, and counterparty credit risk. The estimated fair value of the contingent purchase price obligations is calculated in accordance with the terms of each acquisition agreement and is discounted. The fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices.
16. Accelerated Share Repurchase
From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes the repurchase of shares of our common stock. In February 2026, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 billion of our common stock. Pursuant to this authorization, we also entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") program to repurchase approximately $2.5 billion of our common stock and received an aggregate initial share delivery of 24.7 million shares of our common stock. We received an additional 7.5 million shares upon settlement of the ASR agreement in May 2026 and recorded the final adjustment, which increased additional paid-in-capital.
17. Subsequent Events
We have evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date and determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require additional adjustments to, or disclosures in, these unaudited consolidated financial statements.
