Second Quarter 2022 Results

Revenues 
Worldwide revenue growth in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 was led by an increase in revenue from organic growth of $403.8 million, or 11.3%.  Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue, was a decrease of $239.8 million, or 6.7%, reflecting dispositions in the Advertising & Media discipline in the second quarter of 2021 and the disposition of our businesses in Russia in the first quarter of 2022.  The impact of foreign currency translation was a decrease of $168.4 million, or 4.7%.  Reported total revenue in the second quarter of 2022 decreased $4.4 million, or 0.1%.

Organic growth in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 increased across all of our fundamental disciplines, including: 8.2% for Advertising & Media, 15.8% for Public Relations, 21.0% for Precision Marketing, 9.2% for Healthcare, 9.3% for Execution & Support, 11.2% for Commerce & Brand Consulting, and 36.6% for Experiential.

Organic growth in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 increased across our regional markets as follows: 10.7% for the United States, 15.1% for the Euro Markets & Other Europe, 4.7% for Asia Pacific, 12.0% for the United Kingdom, 12.5% for Other North America, 14.0% for Latin America and 28.3% for the Middle East & Africa.  Growth in Asia Pacific was negatively impacted by COVID-19 lockdowns in China.

Expenses 
Operating expenses increased $22.4 million, or 0.7%, to $3,025.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2021, including a decrease of 4.8% from the impact of foreign currency translation.  Operating expenses in the the second quarter of 2021 were favorably impacted by a $50.5 million gain on the disposition of a subsidiary.

Salary and service costs, which tend to fluctuate with changes in revenue, are comprised of salary and related costs, and third party service costs.  In total, salary and service costs  decreased $37.1 million, or 1.4%.  Salary and related costs increased $79.1 million, or 4.6%, due primarily to the increase in organic revenue, an increase in headcount, and an increase in travel and related costs. Third-party service costs decreased $116.2 million, or 13.2%, due primarily to dispositions in the Advertising & Media discipline in the United States and the disposition of our businesses in Russia, partially offset by costs related to our organic growth in revenue.

Occupancy and other costs, which are less directly linked to changes in revenue than salary and service costs, decreased $0.9 million, or 0.3%, to $293.0 million, due to lower rent and other occupancy costs, partially offset by the continued return of our workforce to the office.

SG&A expenses increased $7.7 million, or 7.5%, to $110.9 million due to higher marketing and professional fees.

Operating Profit 
Operating profit decreased $26.8 million, or 4.7%, to $541.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2021, and our operating profit margin decreased to 15.2% from 15.9%.  After adjusting for a $50.5 million gain on the disposition of a subsidiary in the second quarter of 2021, operating profit in the second quarter of 2022 of $541.6 million increased $23.7 million, or 4.6%, and the related margin improved to 15.2% from 14.5%.

Interest Expense 
Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2022 decreased $33.4 million, or 45.4%, to $40.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2021.  Interest expense on debt in the second quarter of 2022 decreased $27.5 million to $47.2 million, primarily as a result of the $26.6 million charge incurred in the second quarter of 2021 related to the early redemption of debt in May 2021. Net Interest expense in the second quarter of 2022 also decreased due to lower average debt balances, a lower weighted-average cost of debt, and higher interest income.

Income Taxes 
Our effective tax rate of 26.5% in the second quarter of 2022 increased from 24.9% in the second quarter of 2021. The higher effective tax rate for 2022 was primarily the result of the nominal tax applied to the $50.5 million book gain on the disposition of subsidiary in the second quarter of 2021 resulting from the excess of tax over book basis.

Net Income – Omnicom Group Inc. 
Net income - Omnicom Group Inc. for the second quarter of 2022 increased $0.2 million, or 0.1%, to $348.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2021.  Net income - Omnicom Group Inc. for the second quarter of 2021 included a $50.5 million pre-tax and after-tax gain on the sale of a subsidiary, and interest expense related to the early redemption of debt of $26.6 million ($19.5 million after-tax). Diluted shares outstanding decreased to 206.9 million, or 4.7%, from 217.1 million.  Diluted net income per share of $1.68 increased $0.08, or 5.0%, from $1.60 per share.

EBITA 
EBITA in the second quarter of 2022 decreased $27.2 million, or 4.6%, to $562.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2021, and our EBITA margin decreased to 15.8% from 16.5%.  After adjusting for a $50.5 million gain related to the disposition of a subsidiary in the second quarter of 2021, EBITA in the second quarter of 2022 of $562.4 million increased $23.3 million, or 4.3%, and the related margin improved to 15.8% from 15.1%.

Risks and Uncertainties 
Global economic challenges, including the impact of the war in Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation and supply-chain disruptions could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The impact of these issues on our business will vary by geographic market and discipline. We monitor economic conditions closely, as well as client revenue levels and other factors. In response to reductions in revenue, we can take actions to align our cost structure with changes in client demand and manage our working capital. However, there can be no assurance as to the effectiveness of our efforts to mitigate any impact of the current and future adverse economic conditions, reductions in client revenue, changes in client creditworthiness and other developments.

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.

Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue: 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 date 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 disposals through the disposition date. The acquisition revenue and disposition revenue amounts are netted in the description above.

Organic growth: calculated by subtracting the foreign exchange rate impact component and the acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue component from total revenue growth.

For definition of Adjustments, see footnote on page 1.

We use EBITA and EBITA Margin as additional operating performance measures, which exclude the non-cash amortization expense of intangible assets (primarily consisting of amortization of intangible assets arising from acquisitions). Accordingly, we believe EBITA and EBITA Margin are useful measures for investors to evaluate the performance of our business. The above table also reconciles the GAAP financial measure of Net Income – Omnicom Group Inc. to the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITA Adjusted and EBITA Margin Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

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