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 in accordance with 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 normally 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, 2011 (“2011 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, 2012, FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment ("ASU 2011-08") became effective. This standard gives an entity the option of either performing step 1 of the goodwill impairment test or performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether performing step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is necessary. An entity may choose to perform the qualitative assessment for some or all of its reporting units or an entity may bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to step 1 of the impairment test. We performed our annual impairment test at the end of the second quarter (see Note 5).

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 provides support for up to $1.5 billion of commercial paper issuances, as well as back-up liquidity in the event that any of our convertible notes are put back to us. The issuance of commercial paper reduces the amount available under the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had various uncommitted lines of credit aggregating $799.3 million and $758.3 million, respectively.
Our available and unused lines of credit at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were (in millions):

The 2022 Notes are senior unsecured notes that rank in equal right of payment with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness as a joint and several liability of the issuer and the co-obligors. On July 20, 2012, OFI was merged with and into OGI. Pursuant to the merger, OGI has assumed OFI's obligations under the Senior Notes and Convertible Debt. Accordingly, OFI is no longer a co-obligor of our Senior Notes and Convertible Debt.

We review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually at the end of the second quarter or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Although not required, as in prior years 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, 2012 and 2011 because the fair value of our reporting units was substantially in excess of their respective net book values.

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.

Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was 33.7% and 30.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was impacted by the following items. In connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Clemenger Group increasing our equity ownership to 73.7% from 46.7%, effective February 1, 2011, we recorded a remeasurement gain of $123.4 million and a related tax provision of $2.8 million. In addition, in the first quarter of 2011, in connection with a continuing review of our businesses focused on enhancing our strategic position, improving our operations and rebalancing our workforce, we recorded $131.3 million of charges and a related tax benefit of $39.5 million

related to repositioning actions for severance, real estate lease terminations and asset and goodwill write-offs related to disposals and other costs. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 also included a provision of $9.0 million for agreed upon adjustments to income tax returns that were under examination in the first quarter of 2011. Excluding the effect of these items, our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 would have been 34.2%.
The remeasurement gain resulting from the acquisition of the controlling interest in Clemenger created a difference between the book basis and tax basis of our investment. Because this basis difference is not expected to reverse, no deferred taxes were provided and the tax provision recorded represents the incremental U.S. tax on acquired historical unremitted earnings. The tax benefit on the repositioning actions was calculated based on the jurisdictions where the charges were incurred and reflects the likelihood that we will be unable to obtain a tax benefit for all charges incurred. The $9.0 million charge resulted from adjustments to U.S. income tax returns for calendar years 2005, 2006 and 2007, which were agreed upon and recorded in the first quarter of 2011. The examination of those returns is closed.
At June 30, 2012, our unrecognized tax benefits were $157.2 million. Of this amount, approximately $60.0 million would affect our effective tax rate upon resolution of the uncertain tax positions.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Short-term investments. 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. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are carried at quoted market prices.
Cost method investments. Cost method investments are carried at cost, which approximates or is less than fair value.
Short-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings consist of bank overdrafts and credit lines of our international subsidiaries. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, carrying value approximates fair value.
Forward foreign exchange contracts. The estimated fair value of derivative positions in forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using model-derived valuations, taking into consideration market rates and counterparty credit risk.
Debt. Debt includes fixed rate debt and convertible debt. The fair value of these instruments is based on quoted market prices.

Subsequent Events
We have evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date and determined there have not been any other events that have occurred that would require adjustment to or disclosure in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 2.7% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and no other client accounted for more than 2.5% of our revenue. Our top 100 clients accounted for approximately 50% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our business is spread across a number of industry sectors with no one industry comprising more than 14% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012. 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.
In the first six months of 2012, our revenue increased 3.5% compared to the first six months of 2011. The increase reflects strong operating performance by our agencies and an improvement in business conditions in our industry over 2011, partially offset by the negative impact from foreign exchange rates. Revenue increased across most of our disciplines and geographic areas driven by strong operating performance in most of the markets we operate in and continued growth in the emerging markets of Asia and Latin America.
Our business and financial performance are impacted by global economic conditions. In the first six months of 2012, the United States experienced modest economic growth and the major economies of Asia and Latin America continued to expand. However, the European economies continued to experience uncertainty, as well as economic difficulty in certain markets. If the economic conditions worsen, the downturn may expand beyond Europe and could cause reductions in client spending levels and adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. We will continue to closely monitor economic conditions, client spending and other factors, and in response to reductions in client spending, 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 client spending patterns, changes in client creditworthiness and other developments will be effective.
In the near term, barring unforeseen events and excluding foreign exchange impacts, as a result of increases in client spending and new business activities, we expect our 2012 revenue to increase modestly in excess of the weighted average nominal GDP growth in our major markets. We also expect to continue to identify acquisition opportunities that will build on 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.
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.
Effective February 1, 2011, we acquired a controlling interest in the Clemenger Group, our affiliate in Australia and New Zealand increasing our equity ownership to 73.7% from 46.7%. In connection with this transaction, we recorded a non-cash gain of $123.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 resulting from the remeasurement of the carrying value of our equity interest to the acquisition date fair value. This acquisition has and will continue to help us to further develop our combined businesses throughout the Asia Pacific region and further enhance our global capabilities.

We have an objective of improving EBITA margins to 2007 levels for the full year 2012. In connection with this objective, during 2011 we reviewed our businesses with a focus on enhancing our strategic position, improving our operations and rebalancing our workforce. As part of this process, we disposed of certain non-core and underperforming businesses and repositioned others. As a result of these actions, we incurred charges of $131.3 million in the first quarter of 2011 for severance, real estate lease terminations and asset and goodwill write-offs related to disposals and other costs. While the bulk of this process is behind us, we continue to review of all our businesses and we will take actions, where appropriate, to reposition underperforming businesses. We will also continue to pursue operational consolidations to further drive efficiencies in our back office functions.
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 location, growth by major marketing discipline, impact from 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, 2012, our revenue increased 2.1% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011, of which 5.1% was organic growth and 0.7% was related to acquisitions, net of dispositions. The impact of foreign exchange rates reduced revenue by 3.7%. Across our geographic markets revenue increased 5.4% in the United States, 2.3% in the United Kingdom and 7.5% in our other markets, primarily Asia and Latin America, while revenue decreased 12.9% in our Euro markets. The change in revenue in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 in our four fundamental disciplines was as follows: advertising increased 3.4%, CRM increased 2.1%, public relations increased 2.2% and specialty communications decreased 5.7%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our revenue increased 3.5% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011, of which 5.1% was organic growth and 0.9% was related to acquisitions, net of dispositions. The impact of foreign exchange rates reduced revenue by 2.5%. Across our geographic markets revenue increased 4.7% in the United States, 2.4% in the United Kingdom and 12.1% in our other markets, primarily Asia and Latin America, while revenue decreased 9.3% in our Euro markets. The change in revenue in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011 in our four fundamental disciplines was as follows: advertising increased 5.7%, CRM increased 2.2%, public relations increased 4.3% and specialty communications decreased 4.8%.
We measure operating expenses in two distinct cost categories: salary and service costs and office and general expenses. Salary and service costs are primarily comprised of employee compensation and related costs and direct service costs. Office and general expenses are primarily comprised 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 also 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. Salary and service costs increased $68.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. Salary and service costs increased $84.7 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011. Salary and service costs for the first six months of 2011 reflect $92.8 million of severance charges associated with our repositioning actions.
Office and general expenses are less directly linked to changes in our revenue than salary and service costs. Office and general expenses decreased $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. Office and general expenses increased $86.1 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011. Office and general expenses for the first six months of 2011 includes a reduction of $84.9 million, which reflects the $123.4 million non-cash remeasurement gain recorded in connection with the acquisition of the controlling interest in the Clemenger Group and $38.5 million of charges related to our repositioning actions.
Operating margins increased to 12.7% in the first six months of 2012 from 12.2% in the first six months of 2011 and EBITA margins increased to 13.3% in the first six months of 2012 from 12.9% in the first six months of 2011. The year-over-year margin improvement was driven by our strong revenue growth, as well as lower operating costs resulting from actions taken in 2011 to improve our operations, rebalance our workforce and drive efficiencies in our back office functions.

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was unchanged at 34.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2011. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2012 increased to 33.7%, compared to 30.9% for the first six months of 2011 Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects a number of items that were recorded in the first quarter of 2011. These items include a $39.5 million tax benefit related to charges incurred in connection with our repositioning actions, a provision of $2.8 million related to the remeasurement gain and a provision of $9.0 million for agreed upon adjustments to income tax returns that were under examination in 2011.
Net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the second quarter of 2012 increased $7.6 million, or 2.8%, to $282.7 million from $275.1 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the first six months of 2012 increased $10.3 million, or 2.2%, to $487.3 million from $477.0 million in the first six months of 2011. 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 6.3% to $1.02 in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $0.96 in the second quarter of 2011 due to the factors described above, as well as the reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share - Omnicom Group Inc. increased 5.5% to $1.74 in the first six months of 2012, compared to $1.65 in the first six months of 2011 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 during 2011 through the second quarter of 2012, net of stock option exercises and shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan.

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 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.

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 $3,691.4 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 $3,561.0 million less $3,691.4 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 revenue 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 $3,487.4 million for the Total column in the table).

For the second quarter of 2012, foreign exchange rate impacts reduced revenue by 3.7%, or $130.4 million, compared to the second quarter of 2011. The most significant impacts resulted from the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro, Brazilian Real and British Pound.
Assuming exchange rates at July 13, 2012 remain unchanged, we expect foreign exchange impacts to decrease revenue by approximately 3% for the full year 2012.

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 2012 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 2.9% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011. No other client represented more than 2.6% and 2.3% of revenue for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our ten largest and 100 largest clients represented 19.6% and 52.7% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2012, respectively and 18.4% and 50.5% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2011, 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, recruitment communications, 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.

Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, barring unforeseen events and excluding foreign rate exchange impacts, we expect our revenue to increase in excess of the weighted average nominal GDP growth as a result of increases in client spending and new business activities.

Operating Expenses: Salary and service costs tend to fluctuate in conjunction with changes in revenue. Salary and service costs increased $68.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. This increase reflects growth in our business, as well as increased compensation costs, including freelance labor.
Office and general expenses are less directly linked to changes in our revenue than salary and service costs. Office and general expenses decreased $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011.
Operating margins increased to 14.2% in 2012 from 14.0% in 2011 and EBITA margins increased to 14.9% in the second quarter of 2012 from 14.7% in the second quarter of 2011. The year-over-year margin improvement was driven by our strong revenue growth, as well as lower operating costs resulting from the actions taken in 2011 to improve our operations, rebalance our workforce and drive efficiencies in our back office functions.
Net Interest Expense: Net interest expense increased to $34.9 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $27.6 million in the second quarter of 2011. Interest expense increased $7.1 million to $44.0 million. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to increased interest expense resulting from the issuance of our 3.625% Senior Notes issued in April 2012, partially offset by lower commercial paper issuances in the second quarter of 2012. Interest income decreased $0.2 million.
Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was unchanged at 34.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2011.
Net Income Per Common Share - Omnicom Group Inc.: For the foregoing reasons, net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the second quarter of 2012 increased $7.6 million, or 2.8%, to $282.7 million, compared to $275.1 million in the second quarter of 2011. Diluted net income per common share - Omnicom Group Inc. increased 6.3% to $1.02 in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $0.96 in the second quarter of 2011 due to the factors described above, as well as the impact of the reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding. This reduction was the result of repurchases of our common stock during 2011 through the second quarter of 2012, net of stock option exercises and shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan.

Revenue from our largest client accounted for 2.7% and 3.0% of our revenue for the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. No other client represented more than 2.5% and 2.2% of revenue for the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our ten largest and 100 largest clients represented 19.1% and 51.8% of our revenue for the first six months of 2012, respectively and 18.4% and 50.5% of our revenue for the first six months of 2011, respectively.

Repositioning Actions and Remeasurement Gain: In the first quarter of 2011, we recorded $131.3 million of charges related to our repositioning actions. Additionally, we recorded a $123.4 million remeasurement gain related to the acquisition of the controlling interest in the Clemenger Group in the first quarter of 2011. The impact on operating expenses of these transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was (in millions):

Operating Expenses: Salary and service costs tend to fluctuate in conjunction with changes in revenue. Salary and service costs increased $84.7 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011. This increase reflects growth in our business, as well as increased compensation costs, including freelance labor and incentive compensation. The first quarter of 2011 included approximately $92.8 million of charges related to our repositioning actions.

20




Office and general expenses are less directly linked to changes in our revenue than salary and service costs. Office and general expenses increased $86.1 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011. Office and general expenses for the first six months of 2011 includes a reduction of $84.9 million, which reflects the $123.4 million non-cash remeasurement gain recorded in connection with the acquisition of the controlling interest in the Clemenger Group and $38.5 million of charges related to our repositioning actions.
Operating margins increased to 12.7% in 2012 from 12.2% in 2011 and EBITA margins increased to 13.3% in the first six months of 2012 from 12.9% in the first six months of 2011. Excluding the $131.3 million of respositioning actions and the $123.4 remeasurement gain, operating margin and EBITA margin for the first six months of 2011 would have been 12.3% and 13.0%, respectively. The year-over-year margin improvement was driven by our strong revenue growth, as well as lower operating costs resulting from the repositioning actions taken in the first quarter of 2011, as well as other actions taken in 2011 to improve our operations, rebalance our workforce and drive efficiencies in our back office functions.
Net Interest Expense: Net interest expense increased to $64.0 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to $59.9 million in the first six months of 2011. Interest expense increased $3.7 million to $82.5 million. The change in interest expense is primarily attributable to increased interest expense resulting from the issuance of our 3.625% Senior Notes issued in April 2012, partially offset by lower commercial paper issuances in the first six months of 2012. Interest income decreased $0.4 million.
Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2012 increased to 33.7%, compared to 30.9% for the first six months of 2011. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2011 was effected by the following items (in millions):

The tax benefit on the repositioning actions was calculated based on the jurisdictions where the charges were incurred and reflects the likelihood that we will be unable to obtain a tax benefit for all charges incurred. The remeasurement gain resulting from the acquisition of the controlling interest in Clemenger created a difference between the book basis and tax basis of our investment. Because this basis difference is not expected to reverse, no deferred taxes were provided and the tax provision recorded represents the incremental U.S. tax on acquired historical unremitted earnings. The $9.0 million charge resulted from adjustments to U.S. income tax returns for calendar years 2005, 2006 and 2007, that were agreed upon and recorded in the first quarter of 2011. The examination of those returns is closed.
Net Income Per Common Share - Omnicom Group Inc.: For the foregoing reasons, net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the first six months of 2012 increased $10.3 million, or 2.2%, to $487.3 million, compared to $477.0 million in the first six months of 2011. Diluted net income per common share - Omnicom Group Inc. increased 5.5% to $1.74 in the first six months of 2012, compared to $1.65 in the first six months of 2011 due to the factors described above, as well as the impact of the reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding. This reduction was the result of repurchases of our common stock during 2011 through the second quarter of 2012, net of stock option exercises and shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan.

Critical Accounting 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 2011 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. 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, 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 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, 2012 and 2011 were:

Long-term growth rates represent our estimate of a conservative 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 7.5% 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, 2012. 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. For our annual test as of June 30, 2012, 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, 2012 and estimating the future cash flows of our reporting units, we considered the macroeconomic environment and industry and market specific conditions at mid-year 2012. In the first half of 2012, we experienced an increase in our revenue of 5.1%, which excludes growth from acquisitions and changes in foreign exchange rates. However, the European economies continued to experience uncertainty, as well as economic difficulty in certain markets. We considered the effect of these conditions in our annual impairment test. We estimated growth rates for the subsequent six years that reflect a reduction from current business results.
Our five reporting units vary in size with respect to revenue and the amount of debt allocated to them. These differences drive the variations in fair value among our reporting units. In addition, these differences as well as differences in book value, including goodwill, cause the 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.
The risk-adjusted discount rate used in our DCF analysis represents the estimated after-tax WACC for each of our reporting units and ranged from 10.3% to 10.9%. 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. The slight decrease in the WACC at June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011 was primarily the result of a decrease in the long-term U.S. Treasury bond, the risk-free rate of return used as a component that we use in determining the WACC.
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 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, 2012, because the fair value of our reporting units was substantially in excess of their respective net book values. 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, 2012 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.

New Accounting Standards
See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
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 certain contingent acquisition obligations (earn-outs) related to acquisitions made in prior years.
Our principal discretionary cash requirements include dividend payments to our shareholders, capital expenditures, payments for strategic acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock. In addition, we pay dividends to shareholders of noncontrolling interests in our subsidiaries.
Our discretionary spending is funded from operating cash flow and cash on hand. In addition, depending on the level of our discretionary activity, 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. We expect that we should be able to fund both our discretionary and non-discretionary cash requirements for the remainder of 2012 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 acquisition obligations. This typically results in a net borrowing requirement that decreases over the course of the year and at the end of the calendar year we expect to have cash invested. However, to take advantage of historically low borrowings rates, in April 2012, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% Senior Notes due May 1, 2022 ("2022 Notes"). As a result of the issuance of the 2022 Notes, we were able to reduce our total commercial paper issuances in the second quarter of 2012 by 42% compared to the second quarter of 2011, as well as increase our cash balances from March 31, 2012.
During the first six months of 2012, we generated $157.3 million of cash from operations. Our discretionary spending during the period was comprised primarily of: dividend payments of $153.5 million, capital expenditures of $112.8 million, repurchases of our common stock of $805.9 million and acquisition payments of $105.2 million. Our total discretionary spending for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,177.4 million compared to $1,137.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Cash Management
We manage our cash and liquidity centrally through our regional treasury centers in North America, Europe and Asia. The regional 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 funding borrow funds 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 or 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 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.
At June 30, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents decreased $115.9 million to $1,665.3 million and our short-term investments decreased $9.1 million to $14.7 million. Short-term investments principally 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, 2012 and 2011 our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $1,680.0 million and $1,003.3 million, respectively. At June 30, 2012 and 2011 our total debt was $3,922.3 million and $3,225.4 million, respectively.
At June 30, 2012, our foreign subsidiaries held $1,496.1 million of our cash and cash equivalents. 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.

24




We have policies governing counterparty credit risk with banks that hold our cash and cash equivalents. In countries where we conduct treasury operations, generally the bank counterparties are either branches or subsidiaries of institutions that are party to our Credit Agreement. Generally, these banks have credit ratings equal to or better than our credit ratings. We have risk management limits for each of these banks and we monitor the global exposure on a daily basis. In countries where we do not conduct treasury operations, we ensure that all cash is held by bank counterparties that meet criteria based on credit ratings and other factors.
Debt Instruments and Related Covenants
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. The Credit Agreement provides support for outstanding commercial paper issuances, as well as back-up liquidity in the event that any of our convertible notes are put back to us. The issuance of commercial paper reduces 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, 2012, there were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
The proceeds from the issuance of the 2022 Notes before deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses were $746.8 million. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including repurchases of our common stock. The 2022 Notes were co-issued by Omnicom Group Inc., or OGI, and two of its wholly owned finance subsidiaries, Omnicom Capital Inc. and Omnicom Finance Inc., or OFI, as co-obligors. The 2022 Notes are senior unsecured notes that rank in equal right of payment with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness as a joint and several liability of the issuer and the co-obligors. On July 20, 2012, OFI was merged with and into OGI. Pursuant to the merger, OGI has assumed OFI's obligations under the Senior Notes and Convertible Debt. Accordingly, OFI is no longer a co-obligor of our Senior Notes and Convertible Debt.

At June 30, 2012, we had short-term borrowings of $12.4 million that were comprised of 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 bank 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, 2012, we were in compliance with these covenants. At June 30, 2012 our Leverage Ratio was 2.0 times as compared to the Leverage Ratio of 1.7 times at December 31, 2011. The increase in the Leverage Ratio is a result of the issuance of the 2022 Notes. Although interest expense increased due to the issuance of the 2022 Notes, our Interest Coverage Ratio at June 30, 2012 improved slightly to 12.4 times compared to 12.3 times at December 31, 2011, because EBITDA increased. The Credit Agreement does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends.

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. We will continue to monitor and manage the level of credit made available to our clients. We believe that these actions, in addition to 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.
The next date on which holders of our 2032 Notes can put their notes back to us for cash is July 31, 2012. The next date on which holders of our 2038 Notes can put their notes back to us for cash is June 17, 2013. If our convertible notes are put back to us, based on our current financial condition and expectations, we expect to have sufficient available cash and unused credit commitments to fund any repurchase. Although such borrowings would reduce the amount available under our Credit Agreement to fund our cash requirements, we believe that we have sufficient capacity under these commitments to meet our cash requirements for the normal course of our business operations after any repurchase.
Credit Risk
We provide marketing and corporate communications services to thousands of clients who operate in nearly every industry sector of the global economy and 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 2.7% of our revenue for the first six months of 2012 and no other client accounted for more than 2.5% of our revenue for the first six months of 2012. 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

26




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 credit ratings and other factors.
Our 2011 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 2011 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, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2012, 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, 2012 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 2011 Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on Omnicom’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, dated February 17, 2012.
