NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Presentation of Financial Statements

The terms “Omnicom,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refer to Omnicom Group Inc. and our subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure have been condensed or omitted.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the information contained herein. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“ 2012 Form 10-K”). Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year.

2. New Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2013, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2013-01"). ASU 2013-01 amended existing guidance by requiring additional disclosure about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in the statement of financial position or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. ASU 2013-01 requires retrospective disclosure for all comparative periods. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on our financial position or financial statement disclosure.

As of March 31, 2013, we adopted FASB ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 amended existing guidance by requiring additional disclosure either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-01 requires prospective adoption, and effects financial statement disclosure only. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 had no affect on our results of operations or financial position.

3. Net Income per Common Share

Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus, if dilutive, common share equivalents, which include outstanding stock options and restricted stock, and shares issuable for the conversion value of our convertible debt.

Net income per common share is calculated using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method for computing net income per common share when a company's capital structure includes common stock and participating securities. Our unvested restricted stock awards receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as our common stock and therefore are considered participating securities. Under the two-class method, basic and diluted net income per common share is reduced for a presumed hypothetical distribution of earnings to holders of our unvested restricted stock.

The computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is (in millions, except per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,


	2013			2012			2013			2012

Net Income Available for Common Shares:
Net income - Omnicom Group Inc.	$	289.5		$	282.7		$	494.7		$	487.3
Net income allocated to participating securities	(7.8		)	(6.4		)	(13.4		)	(10.9		)

	$	281.7		$	276.3		$	481.3		$	476.4

Weighted Average Shares:

Dilutive stock options and restricted shares and shares issuable for the conversion value of convertible debt	1.5			2.8			1.3			2.7

Diluted	259.2			271.8			260.7			273.9


Anti-dilutive stock options and restricted shares	0.1			0.2			0.1			0.3

Diluted	$	1.09		$	1.02		$	1.85		$	1.74

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were (in millions):



	2013						2012


	Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value		Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value


Goodwill	$	9,274.0	$	566.3	$	8,707.7	$	9,424.3	$	580.1	$	8,844.2


Intangible assets:
Purchased and internally developed software	$	282.3	$	222.9	$	59.4	$	283.3	$	218.8	$	64.5
Customer related and other	654.9		306.9		348.0		670.8		279.2		391.6


	$	937.2	$	529.8	$	407.4	$	954.1	$	498.0	$	456.1

We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually at the end of the second quarter of the year and whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. At June 30, 2013, we performed Step 1 of the annual impairment test and compared the fair value of each of our reporting units to its respective carrying value, including goodwill. Based on the results of our impairment tests, we concluded that our goodwill was not impaired at June 30, 2013 and 2012 , because the fair value of each of our reporting units was substantially in excess of their respective net book value.

Change in goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were (in millions):



	2013			2012


Balance January 1	$	8,844.2		$	8,456.3
Acquisitions	39.3			162.3
Dispositions	(7.1		)	(0.5		)
Foreign currency translation	(168.7		)	(18.5		)


Balance June 30	$	8,707.7		$	8,599.6

There were no goodwill impairment losses recorded in the first six months of 2013 or 2012 and there are no accumulated goodwill impairment losses. Goodwill resulting from acquisitions completed during 2013 and 2012 includes $5.8 million and $8.0 million , respectively, of goodwill attributed to noncontrolling interests in the acquired businesses.

Debt

Lines of Credit

We have committed and uncommitted lines of credit. We have a $2.5 billion committed line of credit ("Credit Agreement") with a consortium of banks expiring on October 12, 2016 . We have the ability to classify borrowings under the Credit Agreement as long-term. The Credit Agreement supports the issuance of up to $1.5 billion of commercial paper. Commercial paper issuances reduce the amount available under the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2013 , there were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , we had various uncommitted lines of credit aggregating $970.9 million and $878.2 million , respectively.

Our available and unused lines of credit at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were (in millions):



	2013		2012


Credit Agreement	$	2,500.0	$	2,500.0
Uncommitted lines of credit	970.9		878.2


Available and unused lines of credit	$	3,470.9	$	3,378.2

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that restrict our ability to incur indebtedness as defined in the agreement. These financial covenants limit the Leverage Ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to total consolidated EBITDA to no more than 3 times for the most recently ended 12 month period (under the Credit Agreement, EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). We are also required to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of at least 5 times for the most recently ended 12 month period. At June 30, 2013 we were in compliance with these covenants, as our Leverage Ratio was 1.9 times and our Interest Coverage Ratio was 10.8 times. The Credit Agreement does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends.

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings of $12.8 million and $6.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively, represent bank overdrafts and credit lines of our international subsidiaries. The bank overdrafts and credit lines are treated as unsecured loans pursuant to the agreements supporting the facilities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, carrying value approximates fair value.

As provided in the indenture governing the 2033 Notes and the 2038 Notes, prior to redemption the noteholders had the right to convert their notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 19.4174 shares per $1,000 principal amount at any time prior to June 13, 2013 . Substantially all the noteholders exercised their conversion right. We paid $406.1 million in cash representing the principal amount of the 2033 Notes and 2038 Notes that were converted and issued 1,499,792 shares of our common stock to satisfy the conversion premium. On June 17, 2013 , we paid $0.6 million to redeem the remaining 2033 Notes and 2038 Notes that were not converted.

On July 31, 2013 , the holders of our Convertible Notes due July 31, 2032 can put their notes back to us for cash.

6. Segment Reporting

Our wholly and partially owned agencies operate within the advertising, marketing and corporate communications services industry. These agencies are organized into agency networks, virtual client networks, regional reporting units and operating groups. Consistent with our fundamental business strategy, our agencies serve similar clients, in similar industries and, in many cases, the same clients across a variety of geographic regions. In addition, our agency networks have similar economic characteristics including similar costs and long-term profit contribution. The main economic components of each agency are employee compensation and related costs and direct service costs and office and general costs, which include rent and occupancy costs, technology costs and other overhead expenses. Therefore, given these similarities, we aggregate our operating segments, which are our five agency networks, into one reporting segment.

7. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was 33.5% and 33.7% , respectively.

In connection with the conversion of our 2033 Notes and 2038 Notes, we reclassified $52.7 million , representing the excess of the accreted value of the notes for income tax purposes over the conversion value, from long-term deferred tax liability to current taxes payable. In addition, we reclassified $34.5 million , representing the difference between the issue price of the notes and the conversion value, from long-term deferred tax liability to additional paid-in capital. We expect that the tax liability resulting from the conversion of the notes will be paid in the third and fourth quarters of 2013.

At June 30, 2013 , our unrecognized tax benefits were $139.6 million . Of this amount, approximately $60.9 million would affect our effective tax rate upon resolution of the uncertain tax positions.

Item2. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are a strategic holding company. We provide professional services to clients through multiple agencies around the world. On a global, pan-regional and local basis, our agencies provide these services in the following disciplines: advertising, customer relationship management, or CRM, public relations and specialty communications. Our business model was built and continues to evolve around our clients. While our agencies operate under different names and frame their ideas in different disciplines, we organize our services around our clients. The fundamental premise of our business is that our clients’ specific requirements should be the central focus in how we deliver our services and allocate our resources. This client-centric business model results in multiple agencies collaborating in formal and informal virtual networks that cut across internal organizational structures to deliver consistent brand messages for a specific client and execute against each of our clients’ specific marketing requirements. We continually seek to grow our business with our existing clients by maintaining our client-centric approach, as well as expanding our existing business relationships into new markets and with new clients. In addition, we pursue selective acquisitions of complementary companies with strong entrepreneurial management teams that typically serve or have the ability to serve our existing client base.

As a leading global advertising, marketing and corporate communications company, we operate in all major markets around the world. We have a large and diverse client base. Our largest client accounted for 2.6% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and no other client accounted for more than 2.6% of our revenue. Our top 100 clients accounted for approximately 52% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 . Our business is spread across a number of industry sectors with no one industry comprising more than 15% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 . 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.

As described in more detail below, in the first six months of 2013 , our revenue increased 2.4% compared to the first six months of 2012 . Increased revenue in the United States and continued growth in the emerging markets of Asia and Latin America was partially offset by the on-going economic weakness in the Euro Zone.

Global economic conditions have a direct impact on our business and financial performance. In particular, current global economic conditions pose a risk that our clients may reduce future spending on advertising and marketing services which could reduce the demand for our services. In the first six months of 2013 , the United States experienced modest economic growth and the major economies of Asia and Latin America continued to expand. However, the continuing fiscal issues faced by many countries in the Euro Zone has caused economic difficulty in certain of our Euro Zone markets. We will continue to closely monitor economic conditions, client revenue levels and other factors and, in response to reductions in our client revenue, if necessary, we will take actions available to us to align our cost structure and manage working capital. There can be no assurance whether, or to what extent, our efforts to mitigate any impact of future economic conditions, reductions in our client revenue, changes in client creditworthiness and other developments will be effective.

Certain business trends have had a positive impact on our business and industry. These trends include our clients increasingly expanding the focus of their brand strategies from national markets to pan-regional and global markets and integrating traditional and non-traditional marketing channels, as well as utilizing new communications technologies and emerging digital platforms. Additionally, in an effort to gain greater efficiency and effectiveness from their total marketing budgets, clients are increasingly requiring greater coordination of marketing activities and concentrating these activities with a smaller number of service providers. We believe these trends have benefited our business in the past and over the medium and long term will continue to provide a competitive advantage to us.

In the near term, barring unforeseen events and excluding the impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, as a result of continued improvement in operating performance by many of our agencies and new business activities, we expect our 2013 revenue to increase modestly in excess of the weighted average nominal GDP growth in our major markets. We expect to continue to identify acquisition opportunities intended to build upon the core capabilities of our strategic business platforms, expand our operations in the emerging markets and enhance our capabilities to leverage new technologies that are being used by marketers today.

Given our size and breadth, we manage our business by monitoring several financial indicators. The key indicators that we review focus on revenue and operating expenses. We analyze revenue growth by reviewing the components and mix of the growth, including growth by major geographic region, growth by major marketing discipline, impact from foreign currency fluctuations, growth from acquisitions and growth from our largest clients. In recent years, our revenue has been divided almost evenly between our domestic and international operations.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013 , our revenue increased 2.1% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012 . Organic growth increased revenue 2.8% and acquisitions, net of dispositions reduced revenue 0.1% . The impact of foreign exchange rates reduced revenue 0.6% . Across our geographic markets, revenue increased 2.4% in the United States, 5.1% in the United Kingdom and 2.9% in our other markets, primarily Asia and Latin America. Revenue decreased 1.4% in our Euro markets. The change in revenue in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 in our four fundamental disciplines was as follows: advertising increased 3.2% , CRM decreased 1.5% , public relations increased 4.3% and specialty communications increased 9.8% .

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 , our revenue increased 2.4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 . Organic growth increased revenue 2.8% and acquisitions, net of dispositions increased revenue 0.2% . The impact of foreign exchange rates reduced revenue 0.6% . Across our geographic markets, revenue increased 3.3% in the United States, 5.4% in the United Kingdom and 2.9% in our other markets, primarily Asia and Latin America. Revenue decreased 2.3% in our Euro markets. The change in revenue in the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012 in our four fundamental disciplines was as follows: advertising increased 4.4% , CRM decreased 1.4% , public relations increased 4.0% and specialty communications increased 6.4% .

We measure operating expenses in two distinct cost categories: salary and service costs and office and general expenses. Salary and service costs consist of employee compensation and related costs and direct service costs. Office and general expenses consist of rent and occupancy costs, technology costs, depreciation and amortization and other overhead expenses. Each of our agencies requires professionals with a skill set that is common across our disciplines. At the core of this skill set is the ability to understand a client’s brand or product and its selling proposition and the ability to develop a unique message to communicate the value of the brand or product to the client’s target audience. The facility requirements of our agencies are similar across geographic regions and disciplines, and their technology requirements are generally limited to personal computers, servers and off-the-shelf software. Because we are a service business, we monitor salary and service costs and office and general costs in relation to revenue.

Salary and service costs tend to fluctuate in conjunction with changes in revenue. In the second quarter of 2013 , salary and service costs increased $57.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 and in the first six months of 2013 , salary and service costs increased $156.5 million compared to the first six months of 2012 .

Office and general expenses are less directly linked to changes in our revenue than salary and service costs. In the second quarter of 2013 , office and general expenses increased $1.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 and in the first six months of 2013 , office and general expenses decreased $14.7 million compared to the first six months of 2012 .

Operating margins were 12.7% for the first six months of 2013 and 2012 and EBITA margins increased to 13.4% for the first six months of 2013 from 13.3% for the first six months of 2012 .

In the second quarter of 2013 , net interest expense increased to $ 40.7 million compared to $ 34.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 and in the first six months of 2013 , net interest expense increased to $ 81.7 million compared to $ 64.0 million in the first six months of 2012 . Interest expense increased $ 5.2 million to $ 49.2 million in the second quarter of 2013 and interest expense increased $ 15.7 million to $ 98.2 million in the first six months of 2013 . The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the issuance of our 3.625% Senior Notes due May 1, 2022, or the 2022 Notes, of which $750 million were issued in April 2012 and $500 million were issued in August 2012. Interest income decreased $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to the second quarter of 2012 and interest income decreased $2.0 million in the first six months of 2013 , compared to the first six months of 2012 .

For the second quarter of 2013 , our effective tax rate decreased to 33.9% , compared to 34.3% for the second quarter of 2012 and for the first six months of 2013 , our effective tax rate decreased to 33.5% , compared to 33.7% for the first six months of 2012 .

Net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the second quarter of 2013 increased $6.8 million , or 2.4% , to $289.5 million from $282.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 and net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the first six months of 2013 increased $7.4 million , or 1.5% , to $494.7 million from $487.3 million in the first six months of 2012 . The period-over-period increase in net income - Omnicom Group Inc. is due to the factors described above. Diluted net income per common share - Omnicom Group Inc. increased 6.9% to $1.09 in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to $1.02 in the second quarter of 2012 and diluted net income per common share - Omnicom Group Inc. increased 6.3% to $1.85 for the first six months of 2013 , compared to $1.74 for the first six months of 2012 due to the factors described above, as well as the reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding. The reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding was the result of repurchases of our common stock, net of stock option exercises, shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan and shares issued upon conversion of our Convertible Notes due June 15, 2033, or 2033 Notes, and our Convertible Notes due July 1, 2038, or 2038 Notes.

EBITA, which we define as earnings before interest, taxes and amortization of intangible assets, and EBITA Margin, which we define as EBITA divided by Revenue, are Non-GAAP financial measures. We use EBITA and EBITA Margin as additional operating performance measures, which exclude the non-cash amortization expense of acquired intangible assets. The table above reconciles EBITA and EBITA Margin to the U.S. GAAP financial measure of Operating Income for the periods presented. We believe that EBITA and EBITA Margin are useful measures to evaluate the performance of our businesses. 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.

Revenue: Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 increased $76.0 million , or 2.1% , to $3,637.0 million from $3,561.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 . Organic growth increased revenue $99.0 million and acquisitions, net of dispositions, reduced revenue $4.3 million . The impact of foreign exchange rates reduced revenue $18.7 million .

The components of the second quarter of 2013 revenue change in the United States (“Domestic”) and the remainder of the world (“International”) were (in millions):



	Total					Domestic					International


	$			%		$			%		$			%


Three months ended June 30, 2012	$	3,561.0				$	1,859.6				$	1,701.4
Components of revenue change:
Foreign exchange impact	(18.7		)	(0.6	)%	—			—	%	(18.7		)	(1.1	)%
Acquisitions, net of dispositions	(4.3		)	(0.1	)%	(6.7		)	(0.3	)%	2.4			0.2	%

The components and percentages are calculated as follows:

•

The foreign exchange impact is calculated by first converting the current period’s local currency revenue using the average exchange rates from the equivalent prior period to arrive at a constant currency revenue (in this case $3,655.7 million for the Total column in the table). The foreign exchange impact equals the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. dollars and the current period revenue in constant currency (in this case $3,637.0 million less $3,655.7 million for the Total column in the table).


•	The acquisition component is calculated by aggregating the applicable prior period revenue of the acquired businesses, less revenue of any business included in the prior period revenue that was disposed of subsequent to the period.


•	Organic growth is calculated by subtracting both the foreign exchange and acquisition components from total revenue growth.


•	The percentage change is calculated by dividing the individual component amount by the prior period revenue base of that component (in the case $3,637.0 million for the Total column in the table).

Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 and the percentage change in revenue and organic growth from the second quarter of 2012 in our primary geographic markets were (in millions):

United States	$	1,904.0	2.4	%	2.7	%
Euro Markets	568.8		(1.4	)%	(3.0	)%
United Kingdom	326.7		5.1	%	7.4	%
Other	837.5		2.9	%	5.2	%


	$	3,637.0	2.1	%	2.8	%

In the second quarter of 2013 , foreign exchange rate impacts reduced revenue 0.6% , or $18.7 million , compared to the second quarter of 2012 . The most significant impacts resulted from the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Japanese Yen and British Pound.

Assuming exchange rates at July 15, 2013 remain unchanged, we expect foreign exchange impacts to reduce 2013 revenue by approximately 1%.

Due to a variety of factors, in the normal course, our agencies both gain and lose business from clients each year. The net result through the first half of 2013 has been an overall gain in new business. Under our client-centric approach, we seek to broaden our relationships with all of our clients. Revenue from our largest client accounted for 2.8% and 2.9% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 , respectively. No other client represented more than 2.5% and 2.6% of revenue for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 , respectively. Our ten largest and 100 largest clients represented 19.3% and 52.5% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2013 , respectively, and 19.6% and 52.7% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2012 , respectively.

Driven by our clients’ continuous demand for more effective and efficient marketing activities, we strive to provide an extensive range of advertising, marketing and corporate communications services through various client-centric networks that are organized to meet specific client objectives. These services include advertising, brand consultancy, corporate social responsibility consulting, crisis communications, custom publishing, data analytics, database management, direct marketing, entertainment marketing, environmental design, experiential marketing, field marketing, financial/corporate business-to-business advertising, interactive marketing, marketing research, media planning and buying, mobile marketing, multi-cultural marketing, non-profit marketing, public affairs, public relations, reputation consulting, retail marketing, search engine marketing, social media marketing and sports and event marketing. In an effort to monitor the changing needs of our clients and to further expand the scope of our services to key clients, we monitor revenue across a broad range of disciplines and group them into the following four categories: advertising, CRM, public relations and specialty communications.

Salary and service costs tend to fluctuate in conjunction with changes in revenue. Salary and service costs increased $57.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to the second quarter of 2012 reflecting growth in revenue, an increase in employee compensation, including severance, and a change related to the mix of our business during the quarter.

Office and general expenses are less directly linked to changes in our revenue than salary and service costs. Office and general expenses increased $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to the second quarter of 2012 reflecting our continuing efforts to control the cost structures of our agencies.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2013 increased 3.3% , compared to the second quarter of 2012 . Operating margins increased to 14.4% in 2013 from 14.2% in 2012 and EBITA margins increased to 15.1% in the second quarter of 2013 from 14.9% in the second quarter of 2012 .

Net Interest Expense: Net interest expense increased to $40.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to $34.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 . Interest expense increased $5.2 million to $49.2 million . The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the issuance of $500 million of our 2022 Notes in August 2012. Interest income decreased $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 .

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 decreased to 33.9% , compared to 34.3% for the second quarter of 2012 .

Net Income Per Common Share - Omnicom Group Inc.: For the foregoing reasons, net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the second quarter of 2013 increased $6.8 million , or 2.4% , to $289.5 million , compared to $282.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 . Diluted net income per common share - Omnicom Group Inc. increased 6.9% to $1.09 in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to $1.02 in the second quarter of 2012 due to the factors described above, as well as the impact of the reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding. The reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding was the result of repurchases of our common stock, net of stock option exercises, shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan and shares issued upon the conversion of our 2033 Notes and 2038 Notes.

The components and percentages are calculated as follows:

•

The foreign exchange impact is calculated by first converting the current period’s local currency revenue using the average exchange rates from the equivalent prior period to arrive at a constant currency revenue (in this case $7,035.9 million for the Total column in the table). The foreign exchange impact equals the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. dollars and the current period revenue in constant currency (in this case $7,035.9 million less $7,074.1 million for the Total column in the table).


•	The acquisition component is calculated by aggregating the applicable prior period revenue of the acquired businesses, less revenue of any business included in the prior period revenue that was disposed of subsequent to the period.


•	Organic growth is calculated by subtracting both the foreign exchange and acquisition components from total revenue growth.


•	The percentage change is calculated by dividing the individual component amount by the prior period revenue base of that component (in the case $6,868.2 million for the Total column in the table).

Revenue for the first six months of 2013 and the percentage change in revenue and organic growth from the first six months of 2012 in our primary geographic markets were (in millions):

	$	7,035.9	2.4	%	2.8	%

In the first six months of 2013 , foreign exchange rate impacts reduced revenue 0.6% , or $38.2 million , compared to the first six months of 2012 . The most significant impacts resulted from the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Japanese Yen, British Pound and Brazilian Real, partially offset by the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro.

Revenue from our largest client accounted for 2.6% and 2.7% of our revenue for the first six months of 2013 and 2012 , respectively. No other client represented more than 2.6% and 2.5% of revenue for the first six months of 2013 and 2012 , respectively. Our ten largest and 100 largest clients represented 19.1% and 52.1% of our revenue for the first six months of 2013 , respectively and 19.1% and 51.8% of our revenue for the first six months of 2012 , respectively.

Salary and service costs tend to fluctuate in conjunction with changes in revenue. Salary and service costs increased $156.5 million for the first six months of 2013 , compared to the first six months of 2012 reflecting growth in revenue and an increase in employee compensation, including severance, and increases related to changes in the mix of our business during the period.

Office and general expenses are less directly linked to changes in our revenue than salary and service costs. Office and general expenses decreased $14.7 million in the first six months of 2013 , compared to the first six months of 2012 , reflecting our continuing efforts to control the cost structures of our agencies.

Operating income for first six months of 2013 increased 3.0% , compared to the first six months of 2012 . Operating margins were 12.7% in 2013 and 2012 and EBITA margins increased to 13.4% from 13.3% .

Net Interest Expense: Net interest expense increased to $81.7 million in the first six months of 2013 , compared to $64.0 million in the first six months of 2012 . Interest expense increased $15.7 million to $98.2 million . The increased interest expense is primarily attributable to the issuance $750 million of our 2022 Notes in April 2012 and $500 million of our 2022 Notes in August 2012. Interest income decreased $2.0 million in the first six months of 2013 .

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2013 decreased to 33.5% , from 33.7% for the first six months of 2012 .

Net Income Per Common Share - Omnicom Group Inc.: For the foregoing reasons, net income - Omnicom Group Inc. for the first six months of 2013 increased $7.4 million , or 1.5% , to $494.7 million , compared to $487.3 million for the first six months of 2012 . Diluted net income per common share - Omnicom Group Inc. increased 6.3% to $1.85 for the first six months of 2013 , compared to $1.74 for the first six months of 2012 due to the factors described above, as well as the impact of the reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding. The reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding was the result of repurchases of our common stock, net of stock option exercises, shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan and shares issued upon the conversion of our 2033 Notes and 2038 Notes.

CRITICAL ACOUNTING POLICIES

For a more complete understanding of all of our accounting policies, our financial statements and the related management’s discussion and analysis of those results, readers are encouraged to consider this information together with our discussion of our critical accounting policies under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2012 Form 10-K.

Acquisitions and Goodwill

We have made and expect to continue to make selective acquisitions. In making acquisitions, the valuation of potential acquisitions is based on various factors, including specialized know-how, reputation, competitive position, geographic coverage and service offerings of the target businesses, as well as our experience and judgment.

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 and/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 intangible asset value we acquire is the know-how of the people, which is treated as part of goodwill and is not valued separately. For each acquisition, we undertake a detailed review to identify other intangible assets and a valuation is performed for all such identified assets. A significant portion of the identifiable intangible assets acquired is derived from customer relationships, including the related customer contracts, as well as trade names. In valuing these identified intangible assets, we typically use an income approach and consider comparable market participant measurements.

We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually at the end of the second quarter of the year and whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We identified our regional reporting units as components of our operating segments, which are our five agency networks. The regional reporting units of each agency network are responsible for the agencies in their region. They report to the segment managers and facilitate the administrative and logistical requirements of our client-centric strategy 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 the guidance set forth in FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other . 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. The main economic components of each agency are employee compensation and related costs and direct service costs and office and general 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 across multiple agencies and regions as they work together to integrate the acquired agency into our client service strategy.

Estimates and Assumptions - Goodwill Impairment Review

We use the following valuation methodologies to determine the fair value of our reporting units: (1) the income approach, which utilizes discounted expected future cash flows, (2) comparative market participant multiples for EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and (3) when available, consideration of recent and similar purchase acquisition transactions.

In applying the income approach, we use estimates to derive the expected discounted cash flows (“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 capital (“WACC”).

The range of assumptions used for the long-term growth rate and WACC in our evaluations as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 were:



	June 30,


	2013	2012


Long-Term Growth Rate	4%	4%
WACC	10.1% - 10.7%	10.3% - 10.9%

Long-term growth rates represent our estimate of the long-term growth rate for our industry and most markets of the global economy we operate in. The average historical revenue growth rate of our reporting units for the past ten years was approximately 6.8% and the Average Nominal GDP growth of the countries comprising our major markets that account for substantially all of our revenue was 4.3% over the same period. We considered this history when determining the long-term growth rates used in our annual impairment test at June 30, 2013 . We believe marketing expenditures over the long term have a high correlation to GDP. We also believe, based on our historical performance, that our long-term growth rate will exceed Average Nominal GDP growth in the markets we operate in. For our annual test as of June 30, 2013 , we used an estimated long-term growth rate of 4% for all of our reporting units.

When performing our annual impairment test as of June 30, 2013 and estimating the future cash flows of our reporting units, we considered the current macroeconomic environment, as well as industry and market specific conditions at mid-year 2013 . In the first half of 2013 , we experienced an increase in our revenue of 2.8% , which excludes growth from acquisitions and the impact from changes in foreign exchange rates. However, the continuing fiscal issues faced by many countries in the Euro Zone has caused economic difficulty in certain of our Euro Zone markets. We considered the effect of these conditions in our annual impairment test.

The WACC is comprised of (1) a risk-free rate of return, (2) a business risk index ascribed to us and to companies in our industry comparable to our reporting units based on a market derived variable that measures the volatility of the share price of equity securities relative to the volatility of the overall equity market, (3) an equity risk premium that is based on the rate of return on equity of publicly traded companies with business characteristics comparable to our reporting units, and (4) a current after-tax market rate of return on debt of companies with business characteristics similar to our reporting units, each weighted by the relative market value percentages of our equity and debt.

Our five 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 reporting unit 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 two agency networks were built through a combination of internal growth and acquisitions that were accounted for as purchase transactions and as a result, they have a relatively higher amount of goodwill and debt.

Conclusion - Goodwill Impairment Review

Under U.S. GAAP, 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 or proceeding directly to Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. Although not required, we performed Step 1 of the annual impairment test and compared the fair value of each of our reporting units to its respective carrying value, including goodwill. Based on the results of our impairment test, we concluded that our goodwill was not impaired at June 30, 2013 , because the fair value of each of our reporting units was substantially in excess of their respective net book value. The minimum decline in fair value that one of our reporting units would need to experience in order to fail Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test was approximately 70%. Notwithstanding our belief that the assumptions we used in our impairment testing for our WACC and long-term growth rate are reasonable, we performed a sensitivity analysis for each of our reporting units. The results of this sensitivity analysis on our impairment test as of June 30, 2013 revealed that if WACC increased by 1% and/or long-term growth rate decreased by 1%, the fair value of each of our reporting units would continue to be substantially in excess of their respective net book values and would pass Step 1 of the impairment test.

We will continue to perform our impairment test at the end of the second quarter of each year unless events or circumstances trigger the need for an interim evaluation for impairment. The estimates we use in testing our goodwill for impairment 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. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, but they are subject to change from 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 material. 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 Step 1 of 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Sources and Requirements, Including Contractual Obligations

Historically, the majority of our non-discretionary cash requirements have been funded from operating cash flow and cash on hand. Working capital is our principal non-discretionary funding requirement. In addition, we have contractual obligations related to our senior notes and convertible notes, our recurring business operations, primarily related to lease obligations, as well as contingent purchase price obligations (earn-outs) related to acquisitions completed in prior years.

Our principal discretionary cash uses include dividend payments, capital expenditures, payments for strategic acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock. Our discretionary spending is funded from operating cash flow and cash on hand. In addition, depending on the level of our discretionary activity and conditions in the capital markets, we may use other available sources of funding such as issuing commercial paper, borrowing under our Credit Agreement or other long-term borrowings to finance these activities. For the remainder of 2013, we expect that we should be able to fund both our non-discretionary cash requirements and our discretionary spending without incurring additional long-term debt. However, we may access the capital markets at any time if favorable conditions exist.

We have a seasonal cash requirement normally peaking during the second quarter primarily due to the timing of payments for incentive compensation, income taxes and contingent purchase price obligations. This typically results in a net borrowing requirement that decreases over the course of the year.

During the first six months of 2013 , we generated $66.5 million of cash from operations, which included cash used for operating capital of $635.7 million . During the first six months of 2013 , our discretionary spending during the period was primarily comprised of: dividend payments of $106.7 million , capital expenditures of $69.0 million , repurchases of our common stock of $492.3 million , net of proceeds from stock option exercises and related tax benefits and common stock sold to our employee stock purchase plan, dividends to noncontrolling interest shareholders of $59.9 million and acquisition payments, including contingent purchase price obligations and acquisition of additional shares of noncontrolling interests, of $59.4 million .

On May 16, 2013, we called our Convertible Notes due June 15, 2033 (“2033 Notes”) and our Convertible Notes due July 1, 2038 (“2038 Notes”) for redemption on June 17, 2013 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount. As provided in the indenture governing the 2033 Notes and the 2038 Notes, prior to redemption the noteholders had the right to convert their notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 19.4174 shares per $1,000 principal amount at any time prior to June 13, 2013. Substantially all the noteholders exercised their conversion right. We paid $406.1 million in cash representing the principal amount of the 2033 Notes and 2038 Notes that were converted and issued 1,499,792 shares of our common stock to satisfy the conversion premium. On June 17, 2013, we paid $0.6 million to redeem the remaining 2033 Notes and 2038 Notes that were not converted.

Cash Management

We manage our cash and liquidity centrally through our regional treasury centers in North America, Europe and Asia. The treasury centers are managed by our wholly-owned finance subsidiaries. Each day, operations with excess funds invest these funds with their regional treasury center. Likewise, operations that require funds borrow from their regional treasury center. The treasury centers aggregate the net position which is either invested with or borrowed from third parties. To the extent that our treasury centers require liquidity, they have the ability to access local currency uncommitted lines of credit, the Credit Agreement or issue up to a total of $1.5 billion of U.S. Dollar-denominated commercial paper. This process enables us to manage our debt balances more efficiently and utilize our cash more effectively, as well as better manage our risk to foreign exchange rate changes. In countries where we either do not conduct treasury operations or it is not feasible for one of our treasury centers to fund net borrowing requirements on an intercompany basis, we arrange for local currency uncommitted lines of credit.

Our cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,278.4 million to $1,399.9 million and our short-term investments decreased $5.9 million to $14.7 million from December 31, 2012 , primarily to fund the redemption of our 2033 Notes and 2038 Notes, as well as funding our seasonal working capital requirement. Short-term investments primarily consist of time deposits with financial institutions that we expect to convert into cash within our current operating cycle, generally one year.

At June 30, 2013 , our foreign subsidiaries held substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents of $1,399.9 million . The majority of this cash is available to us, net of any taxes payable upon repatriation to the United States. Changes in international tax rules or changes in U.S. tax rules and regulations covering international operations and foreign tax credits may affect our future reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.

We have policies governing counterparty credit risk with financial institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. In countries where we conduct treasury operations, generally the counterparties are either branches or subsidiaries of institutions that are party to our Credit Agreement. These financial institutions generally have credit ratings equal to or better than our credit ratings. We have deposit limits for each of these institutions. In countries where we do not conduct treasury operations, we ensure that all cash is held by counterparties that meet specific minimum credit standards.

Debt Instruments and Related Covenants

We have committed and uncommitted lines of credit. We have a $2.5 billion committed line of credit, or Credit Agreement, with a consortium of banks expiring on October 12, 2016 . We have the ability to classify borrowings under the Credit Agreement as long-term. The Credit Agreement supports the issuance of up to $1.5 billion of commercial paper. Commercial paper issuances reduce the amount available under the Credit Agreement.

Depending on market conditions at the time, we typically fund our day-to-day liquidity by issuing commercial paper, borrowing under our uncommitted lines of credit or drawing on our Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2013 , there were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Commercial paper activity for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , was (dollars in millions):



	2013			2012


Average amount outstanding during the quarter	$	592.5		$	483.5
Maximum amount outstanding during the quarter	$	947.7		$	837.2
Total issuances during the quarter	$	3,345.0		$	4,536.7
Average days outstanding	16.1			9.7
Weighted average interest rate	0.35		%	0.43		%

At June 30, 2013 , short-term borrowings of $12.8 million represent bank overdrafts and lines of credit of our international subsidiaries. These bank overdrafts and lines of credit are treated as unsecured loans pursuant to the agreements supporting the facilities.

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that restrict our ability to incur indebtedness as defined in the agreement. These financial covenants limit the Leverage Ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to total consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended 12 month period (under the Credit Agreement, EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to no more than 3.0 times. We are also required to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of at least 5.0 times for the most recently ended 12 month period. At June 30, 2013 we were in compliance with these covenants as our Leverage Ratio was 1.9 times and our Interest Coverage Ratio was 10.8 times. The Credit Agreement does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends.

At June 30, 2013 , the carrying value of our debt and amounts available under the Credit Agreement were (in millions):

Credit Markets and Availability of Credit

We will continue to take actions available to us to respond to changing economic conditions and actively manage our discretionary expenditures and we will continue to monitor and manage the level of credit made available to our clients. We believe that these actions, in addition to operating cash flow and the availability of our Credit Agreement, are sufficient to fund our working capital needs and our discretionary spending.

In funding our day-to-day liquidity, we have historically been a participant in the commercial paper market. We expect to continue funding our day-to-day liquidity through the commercial paper market. However, prior disruptions in the credit markets led to periods of illiquidity in the commercial paper market and higher credit spreads. During these periods of disruption, we used our uncommitted lines of credit and borrowed under our Credit Agreement to mitigate these conditions and to fund our day-to-day liquidity. We will continue to closely monitor our liquidity and the credit markets. We cannot predict with any certainty the impact on us of any future disruptions in the credit markets.

On July 31, 2013 , the holders of our Convertible Notes due July 31, 2032 can put their notes back to us for cash.

CREDIT RISK

We provide advertising, marketing and corporate communications services to several thousand clients who operate in nearly every industry sector of the global economy. In the normal course of business, we grant credit to qualified clients. Due to the diversified nature of our client base, we do not believe that we are exposed to a concentration of credit risk as our largest client accounted for 2.6% of our revenue for the first six months of 2013 and no other client accounted for more than 2.6% of our revenue for the first six months of 2013 . However, during periods of economic downturn, the credit profiles of our clients could change.

In the normal course of business, we often enter into contractual commitments with media providers and agreements with production companies on behalf of our clients at levels that can substantially exceed the revenue from our services. Many of our agencies purchase media for our clients and act as an agent for a disclosed principal. These commitments are included in accounts payable when the media services are delivered by the media providers. While operating practices vary by country, media type and media vendor, in the United States and certain foreign markets, many of our contracts with media providers specify that if our client defaults on its payment obligation, then we are not liable to the media providers under the theory of sequential liability until we have been paid for the media by our client. In other countries, we manage our risk in other ways, including evaluating and monitoring our clients’ creditworthiness and, in many cases, obtaining credit insurance or requiring payment in advance. Further, in cases where we are committed to a media purchase and it becomes apparent that a client may be unable to pay for the media, options are potentially available to us in the marketplace, in addition to those cited above to

mitigate the potential loss, including negotiating with media providers. In addition, our agencies incur production costs on behalf of clients. We usually act as an agent for a disclosed principal in the procurement of these services. We manage the risk of payment default by the client by having the production companies be subject to sequential liability or requiring at least partial payment in advance from our client. However, the agreements entered into, as well as the production costs incurred, are unique to each client. We have not experienced a material loss related to media purchases or production costs incurred on behalf of our clients. However, the risk of a material loss could significantly increase in a severe economic downturn.

ITEM 3. QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a global service business, we operate in multiple foreign currencies and issue debt in the capital markets. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and the impact of interest rate changes. We limit these risks through risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. For foreign currency exposure, derivatives are used to better manage the cash flow volatility arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. For interest rate exposure, derivatives have been used to manage the related cost of debt.

As a result of using derivative instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we have a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based on specific minimum credit standards and other factors.

Our 2012 Form 10-K provides a detailed discussion of the market risks affecting our operations. No material change has occurred in our market risks since the disclosure contained in our 2012 Form 10-K. See our discussion regarding current economic conditions in Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Executive Summary and Liquidity and Capital Resources sections.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within applicable time periods. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013 . Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2013 , our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that decisions can be made timely with respect to required disclosures, as well as ensuring that the recording, processing, summarization and reporting of information required to be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 are appropriate.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on Omnicom’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 , dated February 19, 2013.
