Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

Revenue
Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $1.2 billion, or 27.9%, to $5.5 billion as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to constant currency revenue growth and to the inclusion of one month of revenue attributable to The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. ("IPG") acquisition which closed on November 26, 2025. The impact of foreign currency translation increased revenue by $89.0 million, or 2.1%.

Revenue contribution by discipline in the fourth quarter of 2025 was as follows: 60.1% for Media & Advertising, 10.3% for Precision Marketing, 9.1% for Public Relations, 7.3% for Healthcare, 6.5% for Experiential, 3.7% for Execution & Support, and 3.0% for Branding & Retail Commerce.

Expenses
Operating expenses increased $2.9 billion to $6.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Included in operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 are $186.7 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition of IPG, $1.1 billion of repositioning costs, and $543.4 million of loss on planned dispositions following closing of the IPG acquisition. In addition, operating expenses include one month of operating expenses of IPG.

Salary and service costs increased $899.8 million, or 28.6%, to $4.0 billion primarily due to the IPG acquisition and constant currency revenue growth. These costs tend to fluctuate with changes in revenue and are comprised of salary and related costs, which include employee compensation and benefits costs and freelance labor, third-party service costs, and third-party incidental costs. Salary and related costs increased $480.8 million, or 25.2%, to $2.4 billion. As a percentage of revenue, salary and related costs decreased as compared to the prior period. Third-party service costs include third-party supplier costs when we act as principal in providing services to our clients. Third-party service costs increased $388.1 million, or 36.8%, to $1.4 billion, primarily due to growth in our Media & Advertising and Experiential disciplines and the effects of including one month of IPG costs. Third-party incidental costs that are required to be included in revenue primarily consist of client-related travel and incidental out-of-pocket costs, which are billed back to the client directly at our cost. Third-party incidental costs increased $30.9 million, or 17.3%, to $209.6 million, primarily due to revenue growth and the effects of including one month of IPG costs.

Occupancy and other costs, which are less directly linked to changes in revenue than salary and service costs, increased $83.0 million, or 25.9%, to $403.5 million, primarily due to the inclusion of one month of IPG occupancy costs in the quarter.

SG&A expenses increased $181.6 million, or 161.7%, to $293.9 million. Included in SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 are $186.7 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition of IPG.

Operating Income (Loss)
Operating income decreased $1.7 billion, or 242.6%, to a loss of $977.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of IPG acquisition related costs and repositioning costs.

Interest Expense, net

Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate on the operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 12.7% compared to 26.4% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for 2025 reflects the impacts of the lower tax benefit associated with severance and repositioning charges and IPG acquisition related costs, which are not deductible in certain jurisdictions.

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 and disruptions 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 and disruptions, reductions in client revenue, changes in client creditworthiness and other developments.

Definitions - Components of Revenue Change
We use certain terms in describing the components of the change in revenue above. 

Foreign exchange rate impact: calculated by translating the current period's local currency revenue using the prior period average exchange rates to derive current period constant currency revenue. The foreign exchange rate impact is the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. Dollars and the current period constant currency revenue.

Constant currency growth: represents the change in revenue from the prior year, excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. This measure is calculated by adjusting current-period revenue to eliminate the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and comparing the resulting amount to prior-year revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present financial measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and adjustments to the GAAP presentation ("Non-GAAP"), which we believe are meaningful for understanding our performance. We believe these measures are useful in evaluating the impact of certain items on operating performance and allow for comparability between reporting periods. We define EBITA as earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets, and EBITA margin is defined as EBITA divided by revenue. We use EBITA and EBITA margin as additional operating performance measures, which exclude the non-cash amortization expense of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets. We also use Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITA, Adjusted EBITA Margin, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Net Income – Omnicom Group Inc. and Adjusted Net Income per share – Omnicom Group Inc. - Diluted as additional operating performance measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
