Reworded

Macroeconomic conditions have a direct impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 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 marketsmarkets, and labor and supply chain issues affecting the distribution of our clients’ products, or a disruption in the credit markets, pose a risk that clients may reduce, postpone or cancel spending for marketing and communications services. Such actions would reduce the demand for our services and could result in a reduction inof our revenue, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. A contraction or disruption in the credit markets may make it more difficult for us to meet our working capital requirements or refinance maturing debt, or negatively impact our clients’ liquidity that could cause them to delay payment or take other actions that would negatively affect our working capital. In such circumstances, we may need to obtain additional financing to fund our day-to-day working capital requirements, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Even if we take action to respond to adverse economic conditions, reductions in revenue and disruptions in the credit markets by aligning our cost structure and more efficiently managing our working capital, such actions may not be effective.

Reworded

Current or future geopolitical events, international hostilities or acts of terrorism could impact global economies through, among other things, disruption of business operations and demand for client services, disruption in the credit markets, heightened risk of cybersecurity attacks and disruptions to our information technology infrastructure, increased energy costs and labor and supply chain disruptions. This could result in suspension of our,our or our clients’ businesses in the affected region, which could impact client spending on our services. These actions could have a significant and adverse impact our business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. For example, as a result of the war in Ukraine, in the first quarter of 2022, we suspended our business operations in Ukraine and disposed of all our businesses in Russia. In addition, economic sanctions were imposed on Russia by the United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union. The war in Ukraine is ongoing, and its duration is uncertain. We cannot predict the impact of the war in Ukraine or other international hostilities on our businesses and operations.

Reworded

As a service business, our ability to attract and retain key personnel is an important aspect of our competitiveness. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our ability to provide our services in the manner clients have come to expect may be adversely affected, which could harm our reputation and result in a loss of clients,clients. whichAdditionally, we may be unable to hire or retain talent who are trained in artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced algorithms, to keep up with the rapid and ongoing technological advancements in our industry. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operationsoperations, and financial condition.

Reworded

We rely extensively on information technology systems,systems and data, and cybersecurity incidents could adversely affect us.

Reworded

We rely on our own and third-party service providers’ information technology systems and infrastructure that are critical to our business, to connect with our clients, people and others, and to collect, store, transfer, process and use business, personal and financial data. We face cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our information technology systems or data stored on such systems. Additionally, hardware, software applications or services that we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our information technology systems or data stored on such systems.

Reworded

Cybersecurity threats and attacks, including computer viruses, social engineering/phishing, malfeasance by insiders, human or technological error, advanced persistent threats, malware, hacking, ransomware or other destructive or disruptive activities or software, are constantly evolving and pose a risk to our information technology systems and data. Cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in frequency and magnitude as threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated using techniques and tools, including AI, that circumvent security controls, evade detection and remove forensic evidence. As a result, we may be unable to detect, investigate, remediate or recover from future attacks or incidents, or to avoid a material adverse impact to our information technology systems and data. There can be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in detecting and preventing such threats or protecting our information technology systems or data. Security breaches, improper use of our systems and unauthorized access to our data and information by employees and others may pose a risk that data may be exposed to unauthorized persons. Such occurrences could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation and could result in litigation or regulatory action, as discussed below. Also, we have acquired or may acquire companies that have cybersecurity vulnerabilities or different cybersecurity risk management processes, which may increase our risks from cybersecurity threats and attacks.

Reworded

In addition, we make extensive use of third-party service providers, including cloud providers, that store, transmit and process data. These third-party service providers are also subject to malicious attacks and cybersecurity threatsrisks that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation and could result in litigation or regulatory action, as discussed below.

Reworded

We and certain of our third-party providers regularly experience cyberattacks and other incidents, and we expect such attacks and incidents to continue. For example, we have experienced cybersecurity incidents that resulted in the disruption of our information technology systems and required us to engage third parties to remediate the issues. While, to date, no incidents have had a material impact on our operations or financial results, we cannot guarantee that material incidents will not occur in the future. Any attack or incident could result in legal claims or proceedings (such as class actions), regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, fines and penalties, negative reputational impacts, and/or significant incident response, system restoration or remediation and future compliance costs, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also cannot guarantee that any such costs or losses will be covered by our existing insurance policies or that applicable insurance will be available to us in the future on economically reasonable terms or at all. Additionally, hardware, software applications or services that we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our information technology systems or data stored on such systems.

Reworded

We are subject to risks related to our use of generative AI and agentic AI, a new and emerging technology,technologies, which isare in the early stages of commercial use.use and subject to evolving legislative and regulatory requirements.

Reworded

We continually evaluate the use of AI in our business processes, and in 2023, we entered into strategic partnerships with leading AI technology companies, enabling enhanced product and service capabilities in generativeusing AI. InWe recentrecently years,announced the new Omni platform that further enhances our product offerings using innovative AI tools and data analytic technologies. With the emergence of AI, the use of AI has come under increased scrutiny. ThisThese technology,technologies which is a new and emerging technology in early stages of commercial use, presentspresent a number of risks inherent into itstheir use, including ethical considerations, public perception and reputation concerns, intellectual property protection, intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, regulatory compliance andcompliance, privacy and data security concerns, and risks related to AI algorithms and training methodologies that may be flawed, datasets or outputs that may be over-broad, insufficient or contain biased, misleading or inaccurate information, harmful content, or defamation, as well as concerns about accuracy, health and safety, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Evolving rules, regulations and industry standards governing AI may require us to spend significantly to modify, maintain, or align our business practices, solutions and services, the nature of which cannot be determined at this time and may be inconsistent from region to region. There is increasing divergence globally among AI regulations, which will require us to navigate different obligations in different geographies. Further, new laws, guidance and decisions in this area may limit our ability to use AI and related technologies or decrease itstheir usefulness.usefulness to our businesses. As a result, we cannot predict future developments in AI and related impacts to our business and our industry. If we fail to increase our capabilities in generative AI, or if we are unable to successfully adapt to new developments related to the risks and challenges associated with AI, demand for our services could be reduced, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

Added

Failure to adapt to technological developments, including emerging technologies such as generative AI and agentic AI, could adversely affect our competitive position, reputation, client relationships, results of operations and financial condition.

Added

Our industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Our ability to remain competitive depends in part on our ability to anticipate, develop, acquire and integrate new technologies, platforms and capabilities, including data-driven solutions, automation, generative AI and agentic AI. These technologies may require significant and ongoing investment, involve long development cycles and uncertain returns, and may not be accepted by clients or generate expected benefits.

Added

If we fail to keep pace with technological developments, or if competitors or new market entrants adopt new technologies more quickly or effectively, or if our clients develop their own AI-related capabilities, our services could become less attractive to clients, our competitive position could be harmed, and our revenues and profitability could decline. In addition, the use of emerging technologies presents risks related to intellectual property, ethics, data privacy, cybersecurity and regulatory compliance. Any failure to address these risks effectively could adversely affect our reputation, client relationships, business results of operations and financial condition.

Added

Our liquidity, long-term financing needs, credit rating and access to capital markets is dependent on our agencies, operating cash flow.

Added

Our agencies’ operating cash flows have a significant impact on our liquidity and access to short-term and long-term financing in the capital markets. We maintain a committed, unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility, which also provides us with the ability to issue commercial paper, and to manage and support our operating liquidity in the short term. In addition, we issue senior long-term notes in the capital markets. If our agencies’ operating cash flow significantly declines or any of these sources were unavailable to us or insufficient, our liquidity and ability to refinance our long-term debt could be impeded. We could be required to restructure our debt, sell assets or take other actions, and our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected. In addition, our credit rating, which is also dependent on our agencies operating cash flows among other factors, has a direct effect on our ability to obtain bank financing and access the capital markets. A downgrade to our credit rating, for any reason, could increase our borrowing costs, reduce our capacity to borrow, or impede our ability to access the capital markets, and our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected. See Part II for further discussion of our liquidity and capital resources.

Risks Related to the Merger with IPG

Added

Uncertainties associated with the Merger may cause a loss of our management personnel and other key employees, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Added

We depend on the experience and industry knowledge of our officers and other key employees to execute our business plans. The success of the combined company depends, in part, on our ability to retain key management personnel and other key employees. Our current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their roles following the Merger, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to retain or attract key management and other key personnel. If we are unable to retain personnel who are critical to the future operations of the company, including our key management, we could face disruptions in our respective operations, loss of existing clients, loss of key information, expertise or know‑how and unanticipated additional recruitment and training costs. In addition, the loss of our key personnel could diminish the anticipated benefits of the Merger. No assurance can be given that the combined company, following the Merger, will be able to retain or attract our key management personnel and other key employees to the same extent that we have previously been able to retain or attract personnel.

Added

We have incurred and are expected to continue to incur significant costs in connection with the Merger and integration of IPG, which may be in excess of those anticipated by us.

Added

We have incurred and will continue to incur transaction costs related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including facilities, systems and service contract consolidation costs and employment‑related costs. We will continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the Merger and the integration of IPG. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other synergies related to the integration of the businesses, should allow the combined company to offset integration‑related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all. For additional information, see “Risk Factors - The failure to integrate our and IPG’s businesses and operations successfully in the expected time frame may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.” The costs described above, as well as other unanticipated costs and expenses, could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Added

The failure to integrate our and IPG’s businesses and operations successfully in the expected time frame may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Added

Following the completion of the Merger, our and IPG’s businesses may not be integrated successfully. It is possible that the continued integration process could result in the loss of our key employees, the loss of clients, service providers, vendors or other business counterparties, the disruption of our businesses, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses, or delays associated with the Merger. Specifically, the following challenges, among others, must be addressed in integrating our and IPG’s operations in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger:

Added

•combining operations and corporate functions and the resulting difficulties associated with managing a larger, more complex, diversified business;

Added

•combining our businesses in a manner that permits us to achieve the cost savings and operating synergies anticipated from the Merger;

Added

•integrating personnel and minimizing the loss of key employees;

Added

•harmonizing operating practices, employee development and compensation programs, internal controls and other policies, procedures and processes;

Added

•consolidating our operating, administrative and information technology infrastructure and financial systems.

Added

In addition, at times, the attention of certain members of our management and our resources may be focused on integration of the businesses of the two companies, reducing availability for day‑to‑day business operations or other opportunities that may be beneficial, which may disrupt our ongoing operations.

Added

The Merger may result in a loss of our clients, service providers, vendors, joint venture participants and other business counterparties and may result in the termination of existing contracts.

Added

Some of our clients, service providers, vendors, joint venture participants and other business counterparties may terminate or scale back their current or prospective business relationships with us after the Merger. If relationships with clients, service providers, vendors, joint venture participants and other business counterparties are adversely affected by the Merger, or we lose the benefits of existing contracts due to conflicts that may arise in connection with the Merger or other factors discussed above, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Added

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

Added

The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits from combining our and IPG’s businesses. The anticipated cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all, may take longer to realize than expected, or may result in other adverse effects that we do not currently foresee, in which case, among other things, the Merger may not be accretive to adjusted earnings per share and may not generate significant cash to return to stockholders via share repurchases or other means. Some of the assumptions that we have made, such as the achievement of the anticipated benefits related to combining complementary assets to create a portfolio of services and products that expand client opportunities, and advances in our ability to innovate and develop new products and services, may not be realized. The integration process may result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. In addition, there could be potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses associated with the Merger that could adversely impact us.

Added

Our future results following the Merger will suffer if we do not effectively manage expanded operations.

Added

Following the Merger, the size and complexity of our Company has increased significantly. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management of a larger number of operations and geographies and associated increased costs and complexity. We may also face increased scrutiny from, and/or additional regulatory requirements of, governmental authorities as a result of the significant increase in the size and complexity of the business. There can be no assurances that the combined company will be successful or that we will realize the expected operating synergies, cost savings or other benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.

Reworded

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP or GAAP, we have recorded a significant amount of goodwill related to our acquisitions including goodwill recorded in connection with the Merger, see Notes 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements; a substantial portion of which represents the intangible specialized know-how of the acquired workforce. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, we review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually on May 1 and whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The estimates and assumptions about future results of operations and cash flows made in connection with the impairment testing could differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows. While we have concluded, for each year presented in the financial statements included in this report, that our goodwill is not impaired, future events could cause us to conclude that the goodwill associated with a given operation may become impaired. Any resulting non-cash impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to the Proposed Merger with IPG

Removed

The Merger may not be completed, and the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms.

Removed

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 approval by our stockholders of our share issuance proposal, the approval by IPG stockholders of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, 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.

Removed

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. In addition, 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, before or after stockholder approval. 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. Additionally, if the Merger Agreement is terminated in circumstances where the Omnicom shareholders have not approved our share issuance proposal, then Omnicom has agreed to reimburse IPG’s expenses up to $25 million.

Removed

Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact the price of shares of our common stock, as well as our business and results of operations.

Removed

If the Merger is not completed for any reason, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Merger, we would be subject to a number of risks, including:

Removed

•we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the market price of our common stock;

Removed

•we may experience negative reactions from clients, vendors, joint venture participants and other third parties with whom we do business, which in turn could affect our business operations or our ability to compete for new business or obtain renewals in the marketplace more broadly;

Removed

•we may experience negative reactions from employees;

Removed

•we will still be required to pay certain significant costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor and printing fees; and

Removed

•we will have expended time and resources that could otherwise have been spent on our existing business and the pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us, and our ongoing business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Removed

If the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, we may be required to pay IPG a termination fee or other termination‑related payment as discussed above.

Removed

Uncertainties associated with the Merger may cause a loss of our and IPG’s management personnel and other key employees, which could adversely affect the business and operations of the combined company following the Merger.

Removed

Each of Omnicom and IPG depends on the experience and industry knowledge of its officers and other key employees to execute its business plans. The success of the combined company after the Merger will depend, in part, on its ability to retain key management personnel and other key employees. Our and IPG’s current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their roles within the combined company following the Merger or other concerns regarding the timing and completion of the Merger or the operations of the combined company following the Merger, any of which may have an adverse effect on our and IPG’s ability to retain or attract key management and other key personnel. If we or IPG are unable to retain personnel, including our or IPG’s key management, who are critical to the future operations of the companies, we and IPG could face disruptions in our respective operations, loss of existing clients, loss of key information, expertise or know‑how and unanticipated additional recruitment and training costs. In addition, the loss of our and IPG’s key personnel could diminish the anticipated benefits of the Merger. No assurance can be given that the combined company, following the Merger, will be able to retain or attract our and IPG’s key management personnel and other key employees to the same extent that we and IPG have previously been able to retain or attract personnel.

Removed

Our and IPG’s business relationships may be subject to disruption due to uncertainty associated with the Merger, which could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows or those of the combined company following the Merger.

Removed

Parties with whom we or IPG do business may experience uncertainty associated with the Merger, including with respect to current or future business relationships with us or IPG following the Merger. Our and IPG’s business relationships may be subject to disruption as clients, vendors, landlords, joint venture participants and other third parties with whom we or IPG do business may attempt to delay or defer entering into new business relationships, negotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than us or IPG. These disruptions could have a material and adverse effect on our and IPG’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, regardless of whether the Merger is completed, as well as a material and adverse effect on the combined company’s ability to realize the expected cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits of the Merger. The risk, and adverse effects, of any disruption could be exacerbated by a delay in completion of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.

Removed

The Merger Agreement subjects us to restrictions on business activities prior to the effective time of the Merger.

Removed

The Merger Agreement restricts us from entering into certain corporate transactions and taking other specified actions without the consent of IPG and generally requires us to continue our operations in the ordinary course through the completion of the Merger. These restrictions could be in place for an extended period of time if completion of the Merger is delayed and could prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Merger.

Removed

We are expected to incur significant costs in connection with the Merger and integration of the two companies, which may be in excess of those anticipated by us.

Removed

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur costs associated with negotiating and completing the Merger and combining the operations of the two companies. These costs have been, and will continue to be, substantial. The substantial majority of costs will consist of transaction costs related to the Merger and include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors, filing fees, employee retention and other employment-related costs, and debt restructuring costs. Many of these costs will be borne by us even if the Merger is not completed.

Removed

We will also incur transaction costs related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including facilities, systems and service contract consolidation costs and employment‑related costs. We will continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the Merger and the integration of the two companies’ businesses. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other synergies related to the integration of the businesses, should allow the combined company to offset integration‑related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all. For additional information, see “Risk Factors - The failure to integrate our and IPG’s businesses and operations successfully in the expected time frame may adversely affect the combined company’s business and results of operations.” The costs described above, as well as other unanticipated costs and expenses, could adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the combined company following the completion of the Merger.

Removed

Litigation relating to the Merger, if any, could result in an injunction preventing the completion of the Merger and/or substantial costs to us.

Removed

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 may 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.

Removed

There can be no assurance that any of the defendants would be successful in the outcome of any potential future lawsuits.

On the Closing Date, Omnicom completed its Merger with IPG. As previously reported, on December 8, 2024, Omnicom entered into the Merger Agreement with IPG and EXT Subsidiary Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom (the “Merger Sub”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into IPG, with IPG continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom. Upon the Merger, each outstanding share of IPG common stock (other than certain excluded shares) converted into the right to receive 0.344 shares of Omnicom common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares. 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 (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

Added

Omnicom’s common stock continues to trade on the New York Stock Exchange , or NYSE, under the symbol “OMC,” and IPG’s common stock has ceased trading. The Merger qualified as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the combined company operates under the Omnicom name with headquarters in New York, New York. 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).

Added

In connection with the Merger, Omnicom commenced offers to exchange all outstanding notes of certain series issued by IPG for up to $2.95 billion in aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by Omnicom. As a result of these exchange offers, which were completed on December 2, 2025, approximately 94% of IPG's outstanding senior notes were exchanged for $2.76 billion in aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by Omnicom. The remaining approximately 6% of IPG's senior notes that were not tendered for exchange by holders remain outstanding obligations of IPG, a wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom (see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements).

If completed, the Merger is expected to have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our clients operate in virtually every sector of the global economy, with no one industry representing more than 15% of our revenue in 2025. In many cases, multiple agencies within our networks serve different brands, product groups or both within the same client. For example, in 2025, our largest client represented 2.4% of revenue and was served by approximately 144 of our agencies. Our 100 largest clients, which represent many of the major marketers, represented approximately 54% of revenue and were each served, on average, by approximately 55 of our agencies. 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.

Reworded

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 yearyear, andas well as 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.

Our acquisition strategy is focused on acquiring the expertise of an assembled workforce in order to continue to build upon the core capabilities of our various strategic business platforms and agency brands through the expansion of their geographic reach or their service capabilities to better serve our clients. Additional key factors we consider include the competitive position and specialized know-how of the acquisition targets. Accordingly, as is typical in most service businesses, a substantial portion of the assets we acquire are intangible assetsassets, primarily consisting of the know-how of the personnel, which is treated as part of goodwill and is not required to be valued separately under U.S. GAAP. For each acquisition, we undertake a detailed review to identify other intangible assets that are required to be valued separately. A significant portion of the identifiable intangible assets acquired is derived from customer relationships, including the related customer contracts, as well as trade names. The fair value measurements of the customer relationships and trade names intangible assets are primarily determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach, respectively. In connection with the IPG acquisition, we reviewed the assumptions related to royalty rates, customer attrition rates, and discount rates applied in valuing these identifiedthe intangible assets, we typically use an income approach and consider comparable market participant measurements.assets.

We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually at May 1 each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Under FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, we have the option of either assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of our reporting units exceeds their respective fair value (Step 0) or proceeding directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. While there were no trigger events that required us to perform a quantitative test, we performed the annual quantitative impairment test and compared the fair value of each of our reporting units to its respective carrying value, including goodwill. Effective January 1, 2025, we formed Omnicom Advertising Group (OA), which aligned all of our creative advertising networks under one segment manager. We identified our regional reporting units as components of our operating segments, which are our sixfour global agency networks. The regional reporting units and practiceconnected areascapabilities monitor performance and are responsible for the agencies in their region. The regional reporting unitsThey report to the segment managers and facilitate the administrative and logistical requirements of our key client matrix organization structure for delivering services to clients in their regions. We have concluded that for each of our operating segments, their regional reporting units have similar economic characteristics and should be aggregated for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment at the operating segment level. Our conclusion was based on a detailed analysis of the aggregation criteria set forth in FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and in FASB ASC Topic 350. Consistent with our fundamental business strategy, the agencies within our regional reporting units serve similar clients in similar industries, and in many cases the same clients. In addition, the agencies within our regional reporting units have similar economic characteristics, and the employees share similar skill sets. The main economic components of each agency are employee compensation and related costs, and direct service costs and occupancy and other costs, which include rent and occupancy costs, technology costs that are generally limited to personal computers, servers and off-the-shelf software and other overhead expenses. Finally, the expected benefits of our acquisitions are typically shared by multiple agencies in various regions as they work together to integrate the acquired businessagency into our virtual client network strategy.

In applying the income approach, we use estimates to derive the discounted expected cash flowsflows, (“DCF”)or DCF, for each reporting unit that serves as the basis of our valuation. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth and operating margin, EBITDA, tax rates, capital expenditures, weighted average cost of capital and related discount rates and expected long-term cash flow growth rates. All of these estimates and assumptions are affected by conditions specific to our businesses, economic conditions related to the industry we operate in, as well as conditions in the global economy. The assumptions that have the most significant effect on our valuations derived using a DCF methodology are: (1) the expected long-term growth rate of our reporting units' cash flows and (2) the weighted average cost of capitalcapital, (“WACC”)or WACC, for each reporting unit.

When performing the annual impairment test as of May 1, 20242025 and estimating the future cash flows of our reporting units, we considered the current macroeconomic environment, as well as industry and market specific conditions in 2024.2025. In the first half of 2024,2025, our organicconstant revenuecurrency increasegrowth was 4.6%,3.2%, which excluded our net disposition activity and the impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.

Our sixfour reporting units vary in size with respect to revenue and the amount of debt allocated to them. These differences drive variations in fair value among our reporting units. In addition, these differences as well as differences in book value, including goodwill, cause variations in the amount by which fair value exceeds book value among the reporting units. The goodwill balances and debt vary by reporting unit primarily because our three legacy agency networks were acquired at the formation of Omnicom and were accounted for as a pooling of interests that did not result in any additional debt or goodwill being recorded. The remaining three agency networks were built through a combination of internal growth and acquisitions that were accounted for using the acquisition method and as a result, they have a relatively higher amount of goodwill and debt. Finally, the allocation of goodwill when components are transferred between reporting units is based on relative fair value at the time of transfer.

Based on the results of our impairment test, we concluded that our goodwill as of May 1, 20242025 was not impaired, because the fair value of each of our reporting units was in excess of its respective net book value. For our reporting units with negative book value, we concluded that the fair value of their total assets was in excess of book value.value of total assets. The minimum decline in fair value that one of our reporting units would need to experience in order to fail the goodwill impairment test was approximately 48%.46%. Notwithstanding our belief that the assumptions we used for WACC and long-term growth rate in our impairment testing were reasonable, we performed a sensitivity analysis for each reporting unit. The results of this sensitivity analysis on our impairment test as of May 1, 20242025 revealed that if the WACC increased by 1% and/or the long-term growth rate decreased by 1%, the fair value of each of our reporting units would continue to be in excess of its respective net book value and would pass the impairment test.

Reworded

We will continue to perform our impairment test each year at May 1, unless events or circumstances trigger the need for an interim impairment test. There were no events through December 31, 20242025 that would change our impairment assessment. The estimates used in our goodwill impairment test do not constitute forecasts or projections of future results of operations, but rather are estimates and assumptions based on historical results and assessments of macroeconomic factors affecting our reporting units as of the valuation date. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, but they are subject to change from year-over-year.period to period. Actual results of operations and other factors will likely differ from the estimates used in our discounted cash flow valuation, and it is possible that differences could be significant. A change in the estimates we use could result in a decline in the estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units from the amounts derived as of our latest valuation and could cause us to fail our goodwill impairment test if the estimated fair value for the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit, including its goodwill. A large decline in estimated fair value of a reporting unit could result in a non-cash impairment charge and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.condition. Additional information about acquisitions and goodwill appears in Notes 2, 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition Methods. A substantial portion of our revenue is recognized over time, as the services are performed, because the client receives and consumes the benefit of our performance throughout the contract period, or we create an asset with no alternative use and are contractually entitled to payment for our performance to date in the event the client terminates the contract for convenience. For these client contracts, other than when we have a stand-ready obligation to perform services, revenue is recognized over time using input measures that correspond to the level of staff effort expended to satisfy the performance obligation on a rate per hour or equivalent basis. For client contracts when we have a stand-ready obligation to perform services on an ongoing basis over the life of the contract, typically for periods up to one year, where the scope of these arrangements is broad and there are no significant gaps in performing the services, we recognize revenue using a time-based measure resulting in a straight-line revenue recognition. From time to time, there may be changes in the client service requirements during the term of a contract and the changes could be significant. These changes are typically negotiated as new contracts covering the additional requirements and the associated costs, as well as additional fees for the incremental work to be performed. For contracts greater than 1 year, primarily within our data management contracts, revenue is generally recognized over time as services are delivered.

•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.

Changes in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar affect our results of operations and financial condition. 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 January 30, 2025,2026, remain unchanged, we expect the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates to reduce revenue between 2.0% to 2.5% for the first quarter of 2025 and by 2.0% for the full year. Based on our acquisition and disposition activity to date, excluding the proposed merger with IPG, we expect that the net impact will be flatover fora thepositive first quarter and2% for the full year of 2025.2026. In addition, in connection with the Merger we identified planned dispositions of certain businesses in 2026 that we expect will occur within the next twelve months (see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements). These businesses had revenue in the prior year of approximately $3.2 billion.

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 currency exchange rates from period to period impact our results of operations and financial condition when we translate our financial statements from local foreign currency exchange rates 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.
