Insights

Financial Analyst

Omnicom's Q2 2024 financial performance presents a mixed bag for investors. On the one hand, the company reported a 6.8% increase in revenue to $3.9 billion, driven by organic growth of 5.2%. This is encouraging as it shows the company’s underlying business is expanding at a reasonable rate. Organic growth is a key metric because it excludes the effects of acquisitions and currency fluctuations, offering a clear view of the company's operational performance.

However, net income declined by 10.4% to $328.1 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) fell by 9.3% to $1.65. These declines were largely due to increased operating expenses and interest costs. Specifically, operating expenses increased by 9.3%, with significant rises in salary and third-party service costs. The company also faced restructuring costs related to severance, which further impacted net income. Furthermore, net interest expense rose due to higher debt levels and reduced interest income.

On a positive note, Omnicom's Non-GAAP adjusted figures show an improved performance. Adjusted EBITA rose by 5.5% to $589.6 million and the adjusted EPS increased to $1.95, up from $1.86. These figures suggest that when excluding certain one-time costs, the company's profitability is improving. However, the EBITA margin did drop slightly from 15.5% to 15.3%, indicating some erosion in profitability margins.

For retail investors, the key takeaway is the balance between the positive revenue growth and the negative impact of rising costs and lower margins. While Omnicom is expanding, the profitability challenges could weigh on investor sentiment in the short term.

Market Research Analyst

Omnicom's quarterly performance underscores the importance of regional growth dynamics. Notably, the company achieved robust growth in Latin America (24.5%), Middle East & Africa (8.0%) and United Kingdom (6.9%). These regions are emerging as key drivers for the company's revenue as they outperformed more mature markets like the United States and Europe. This geographic diversification helps mitigate risks associated with slowing growth in other regions.

However, there's a noticeable decline in the Asia Pacific region and Other North America, with revenue dropping by 0.1% and 8.3%, respectively. These declines could be a result of varying economic conditions, competitive pressures, or shifts in consumer behavior in these markets. Investors should closely watch these regions for any signs of recovery or further decline.

Additionally, the company's discipline-specific growth highlights the changing landscape of marketing. The Experiential discipline saw a remarkable 17.6% growth, indicating a strong client demand for interactive and immersive marketing experiences. Conversely, traditional sectors like Branding & Retail Commerce experienced a 3.8% decline, suggesting a shift in client spending priorities.

For investors, understanding these regional and sectoral trends is crucial. They indicate where Omnicom is most likely to face opportunities and challenges moving forward, helping to shape more informed investment decisions.

Revenue
Revenue in the second quarter of 2024 increased $243.9 million, or 6.8%, to $3,853.8 million. Worldwide revenue growth in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 was led by an increase in organic revenue of $188.3 million, or 5.2%. Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue, increased revenue by $93.0 million, or 2.6%, primarily due to the Flywheel Digital acquisition in the Precision Marketing discipline during the first quarter of 2024. The impact of foreign currency translation reduced revenue by $37.4 million, or 1.0%.

Organic growth by discipline in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 was as follows: 7.8% for Advertising & Media, 17.6% for Experiential, 2.0% for Healthcare, 1.4% for Precision Marketing, 0.9% for Public Relations, and 1.2% for Execution & Support, partially offset by a decline of 3.8% for Branding & Retail Commerce.

Organic growth by region in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 was as follows: 6.3% for the United States, 4.5% for Euro Markets & Other Europe, 6.9% for the United Kingdom, 24.5% for Latin America, and 8.0% for the Middle East & Africa, partially offset by declines of 0.1% for Asia Pacific and 8.3% for Other North America.

Expenses
Operating expenses increased $284.3 million, or 9.3%, to $3,343.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Salary and service costs increased $182.3 million, or 7.0%, to $2,800.1 million. These costs tend to fluctuate with changes in revenue and are comprised of salary and related costs, which include employee compensation and benefits costs, freelance labor, third-party service costs, and third-party incidental costs. Salary and related costs increased $64.9 million, or 3.7%, to $1,836.9 million, primarily due to our acquisition of Flywheel Digital. Third-party service costs include third-party supplier 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, which are billed back to the client directly at our cost. Third-party service costs increased $95.3 million, or 13.3%, to $811.1 million, and third-party incidental costs increased $22.1 million, or 17.0%, to $152.1 million, both primarily as a result of organic growth.

Occupancy and other costs, which are less directly linked to changes in revenue than salary and service costs, increased $16.5 million, or 5.5%, to $314.2 million. The increase is primarily related to our acquisition activity during the year. Increased occupancy costs were partially offset by lower rent expense.

SG&A expenses increased $11.9 million, or 12.0%, to $111.0 million, primarily due to professional fees related to our acquisitions and investments in strategic initiatives.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 included $57.8 million of repositioning costs, primarily reflecting severance actions related to ongoing efficiency initiatives including strategic agency consolidation in our smaller international markets and the start of our centralized production strategy. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2023 included a net decrease of $6.5 million related to the $78.8 million gain on disposition of a subsidiary, partially offset by real estate and other repositioning costs of $72.3 million.

Operating Income
Operating income decreased $40.4 million, or 7.3%, to $510.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, and the related margin decreased to 13.2% from 15.3%. Operating income in the second quarter of 2024 was reduced by $57.8 million of repositioning costs, primarily related to severance. Operating income in the second quarter of 2023 was increased by $6.5 million related to the gain on disposition of a subsidiary of $78.8 million, partially offset by real estate and other repositioning costs of $72.3 million.

Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2024 increased $14.3 million to $41.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. Interest expense increased $5.2 million to $62.7 million due primarily to higher outstanding debt, and interest income decreased by $9.1 million due primarily to lower average cash and short-term investment balances.

Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased slightly period-over-period to 26.4% from 27.0%.

Net Income – Omnicom Group Inc. and Diluted Net Income per Share

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share - Diluted in the second quarter of 2024 excluded $15.9 million of amortization of acquired and internally developed strategic platform assets and $42.9 million of repositioning costs primarily related to severance. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share - Diluted in the second quarter of 2023 excluded $10.9 million of amortization of acquired and internally developed strategic platform assets and real estate and other repositioning costs of $54.5 million, partially offset by $55.9 million related to the gain on disposition of a subsidiary. We present Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share - Diluted to allow for comparability with the prior year period.

EBITA
EBITA decreased $33.6 million, or 5.9%, to $531.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, and the related margin decreased to 13.8% from 15.7%. EBITA excluded amortization of acquired and internally developed strategic platform assets of $21.5 million and $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.  Adjusted EBITA increased $30.7 million, or 5.5%, to $589.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, and the related margin decreased to 15.3% from 15.5%.  Adjusted EBITA in the second quarter of 2024 excluded $57.8 million of repositioning costs primarily related to severance. Adjusted EBITA in the second quarter of 2023 excluded $78.8 million related to the gain on disposition of a subsidiary, partially offset by real estate and other repositioning costs of $72.3 million.

Risks and Uncertainties
Current global economic challenges, including geopolitical events, international hostilities, acts of terrorism, public health crises, high and sustained inflation in countries that comprise our major markets, high interest rates, and labor and supply chain issues 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 such 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.

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 allows for comparability between reporting periods. EBITA is defined 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 diluted share – Omnicom Group Inc. 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.

2)	See Notes 3-5 on page 10 regarding our repositioning actions.
3)	The above table reconciles the U.S. GAAP financial measure of Net Income - Omnicom Group Inc. to EBITDA, EBITA, and EBITA - Adjusted. 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. The above table also presents Non-GAAP adjustments to EBITA to present EBITA - Adjusted for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe EBITA, EBITA Margin, EBITA - Adjusted, and EBITA Margin - Adjusted are useful measures for investors to evaluate the comparability of the performance of our business year to year.
