Please refer to non-GAAP adjusted reconciliations starting on page 8 . RevenuesReported total revenue in the second quarter of 2023 increased $42.7 million, or 1.2%, to $3,609.9 million. Worldwide revenue growth in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 was led by an increase in revenue from organic growth of $121.4 million, or 3.4%. Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue, decreased $54.3 million, or 1.5%, primarily reflecting dispositions in the Execution & Support discipline in the first and second quarter of 2023. The impact of foreign currency translation was a decrease of $24.4 million, or 0.7%. Organic growth by discipline in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 was as follows: 5.1% for Advertising & Media, 9.2% for Experiential, 3.0% for Healthcare, 2.3% for Precision Marketing, 2.4% for Commerce & Brand Consulting, and 0.1% for Public Relations. Execution & Support decreased 3.8%. In the first quarter of 2023, we realigned the classification of certain services primarily within our Commerce & Brand Consulting, Execution & Support, and Experiential disciplines, and revenue by discipline amounts for prior periods were revised to reflect the current period presentation. Organic growth by region in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 was as follows: 2.4% for the United States, 7.5% for Asia Pacific, 2.6% for Euro Markets & Other Europe, 8.4% for Other North America, 2.5% for the United Kingdom, 6.9% for Latin America, and 4.0% for the Middle East & Africa. ExpensesOperating expenses increased $33.6 million, or 1.1%, to $3,059.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022. Included in operating expenses in the second quarter of 2023 is the net impact from a gain on the disposition of a subsidiary in our Execution & Support discipline of $78.8 million ($55.9 million net of income tax) and $72.3 million ($54.5 million net of income tax) of repositioning costs primarily related to severance incurred in the period in connection with a rebalancing of our workforce. Salary and service costs, which tend to fluctuate with changes in revenue, are comprised of salary and related costs, third-party service costs, and third-party incidental costs. Salary and service costs include employee compensation and benefits costs and freelance labor. Salary and service costs increased $51.8 million, or 2.0%, to $2,617.8 million. Salary and related costs decreased $28.8 million, or 1.6%, to $1,772.0 million. While headcount increased as a result of organic growth, the increase was offset by reductions from dispositions in our Execution & Support discipline in the first and second quarters of 2023. Third-party service costs include third-party supplier costs when we act as principal in providing services to our clients. Third-party incidental costs primarily consist of client-related travel and incidental out-of-pocket costs that we bill back to the client directly at our cost and which we are required to include in revenue. Third-party service costs increased $86.8 million, or 13.8%, to $715.8 million, and third-party incidental costs decreased $6.2 million, or 4.6%, to $130.0 million and were impacted by the dispositions in our Execution & Support discipline. Occupancy and other costs, which are less directly linked to changes in revenue than salary and service costs, increased $4.7 million, or 1.6%, to $297.7 million, due to increases in other occupancy expenses, partially offset by lower rent. SG&A expenses decreased $11.8 million, or 10.6%, to $99.1 million, primarily due to lower professional fees and lower marketing related costs. Operating IncomeOperating income increased $9.1 million, or 1.7%, to $550.7 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022. The related operating income margin was 15.3% compared to 15.2% for the second quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2023, non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $544.2 million, which excludes the net effect of a gain on the disposition of a subsidiary offset by repositioning costs, increased 0.5%, and the non-GAAP adjusted operating income margin was 15.1%. Interest Expense, netNet interest expense in the second quarter of 2023 decreased $12.7 million to $27.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. Interest expense increased $6.3 million to $57.5 million, and interest income increased $19.0 million to $30.1 million, primarily as a result of higher interest rates on cash balances and short-term investments. Income TaxesOur effective tax rate of 27.0% in the second quarter of 2023 increased from 26.5% in the second quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2023 was unfavorably impacted by a higher tax rate on a gain on the disposition of a subsidiary and a lower tax benefit on the repositioning costs in certain markets. Net Income – Omnicom Group Inc. and Diluted Net Income per ShareNet income – Omnicom Group Inc. for the second quarter of 2023 increased $17.9 million, or 5.1%, to $366.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. The net impact of the gain on the disposition of a subsidiary, offset by repositioning costs, increased Net income – Omnicom Group Inc. by $1.4 million. Diluted shares outstanding decreased to 201.6 million, or 2.6%, from 206.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 as a result of net share repurchases. Diluted net income per share of $1.82 increased $0.14, or 8.3%, from $1.68 per share. Excluding the net effect of a gain on the disposition of a subsidiary, offset by repositioning costs, non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2023 was $1.81. EBITAEBITA increased $7.6 million, or 1.4%, to $570.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022. The related EBITA margin was 15.8% compared to 15.8% for the second quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2023, non-GAAP adjusted EBITA of $563.5 million, which excludes the net effect of a gain on the disposition of a subsidiary offset by repositioning costs, increased 0.2%, and the non-GAAP adjusted EBITA margin was 15.6%. Risks and UncertaintiesCurrent global economic challenges, including the war in Ukraine, high and sustained inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions, credit market deterioration, and other macroeconomic factors, could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The impact of these issues on our business will vary by geographic market and discipline. We closely monitor economic conditions, 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 ChangeWe 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.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresWe 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. EBITA is defined as operating income before interest, taxes, and amortization of intangible 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 intangible assets (primarily consisting of amortization arising from acquisitions). 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. We believe these measures are useful in evaluating the impact of certain items on operating performance and allow for comparability between reporting periods. 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.
