OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Presentation of Financial Statements

The terms “Omnicom,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refer to Omnicom Group Inc. and our subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“2015 10-K”). Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

Effective January 1, 2016, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the current and prior period are reported as a separate line in the unaudited consolidated statements of income. Historically, we included SG&A expenses in salary and service costs and occupancy and other costs. In addition, we present cost of services in two distinct categories: salary and service costs and occupancy and other costs. As a service business, salary and service costs make up the vast majority of our operating expenses and substantially all these costs comprise the essential components directly linked to the delivery of our services, such as employee compensation, including freelance labor, employee benefit related costs, direct service costs, including the costs of third-party suppliers, and client-related travel costs. Occupancy and other costs consist of the indirect costs related to the delivery of our services, including office and equipment rent, other occupancy costs, technology costs, general office expenses and other expenses. SG&A expenses primarily consist of third-party marketing costs, professional fees and compensation and related benefits and occupancy and other costs of our corporate and executive offices, including group-wide finance and accounting, treasury, legal and governance, human resource oversight and similar costs.

2. New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which will replace all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to all annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted only for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2016. ASU 2014-09 provides for one of two methods of transition: retrospective application to each prior period presented or recognition of the cumulative effect of retrospective application of the new standard as of the beginning of the period of initial application. Presently, we are not yet in a position to conclude on the application date or the transition method we will choose. Based on our initial assessment, the impact of the application of the new standard will likely result in a change in the timing of our revenue recognition for performance incentives received from clients and the recognition of certain reimbursable out-of-pocket costs as revenue. Performance incentives are currently recognized in revenue when specific quantitative goals are achieved, or when our performance against qualitative goals is determined by the client. Under the new standard, we will be required to estimate the amount of the incentive that will be earned at the inception of the contract and recognize the incentive over the term of the contract. While performance incentives are not material to our revenue, this will result in an acceleration in revenue recognition for certain contract incentives compared to the current method. Certain incidental costs that are reimbursed by our clients and are currently required to be recorded in revenue will likely not be recorded as revenue under the new standard. We expect this will result in less revenue and related cost recorded in our results of operations. While we have not yet completed our assessment, we do not expect this change to have a material impact on our revenue and it will not result in any change to operating income.

In February 2016, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which eliminates the current tests for lease classification under U.S. GAAP and requires lessees to recognize the right-to-use assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early application is permitted. The new standard provides for a modified retrospective application for leases existing at, or entered into after, the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We will apply ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. While we are not yet in a position to assess the full impact of the application of the new standard, we expect that the impact of recording the lease liabilities and the corresponding right-to-use assets will have a significant impact on our total assets and liabilities with a minimal impact on our equity.

5

In March 2016, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which changes certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payments to employees. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early application is permitted. Certain changes will be applied prospectively and other changes will be applied using a modified retrospective approach with the recognition of the cumulative effect of the application of the new standard as of the beginning of the period of initial application. We will apply ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. However, we are not yet in a position to assess the impact of the application of the new standard on our results of operations or financial position.

5. Debt

Credit Facilities

As a source of short-term financing, we have a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) that expires July 31, 2020 and domestic and international uncommitted credit lines, and we can issue up to $2 billion of commercial paper. The uncommitted credit lines aggregated $1.17 billion and $1.16 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. There were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Facility or the uncommitted credit lines at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Available and unused credit lines at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were (in millions):

	2016		2015
Credit Facility	$	2,500.0	$	2,500.0
Uncommitted credit lines	1,169.7		1,157.7
Available and unused credit lines	$	3,669.7	$	3,657.7

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 3 times for the most recently ended 12-month period (EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and an Interest Coverage Ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of at least 5 times for the most recently ended 12-month period.At March 31, 2016 we were in compliance with these covenants as our Leverage Ratio was 2.1 times and our Interest Coverage Ratio was 11.9 times. The Credit Facility does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends or repurchase our common stock.

Short-Term Debt

Short-term debt at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $38.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, represents bank overdrafts and short-term borrowings of our international subsidiaries. Due to the short-term nature of this debt, carrying value approximates fair value.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was (in millions):

	2016			2015
5.9% Senior Notes due 2016	$	1,000.0		$	1,000.0
6.25% Senior Notes due 2019	500.0			500.0
4.45% Senior Notes due 2020	1,000.0			1,000.0
3.625% Senior Notes due 2022	1,250.0			1,250.0
3.65% Senior Notes due 2024	750.0			750.0
Other debt	0.3			0.3
	4,500.3			4,500.3
Unamortized premium (discount) on senior notes, net	9.9			10.1
Debt issuance costs	(16.0		)	(16.9		)
Adjustment to carrying value for interest rate swaps	118.7			72.1
Total Debt	4,612.9			4,565.6
Current portion	(1,000.2		)	(1,001.4		)
Long-term debt	$	3,612.7		$	3,564.2

On April 6, 2016, we issued $1.4 billion principal amount of 3.60% Senior Notes due April 15, 2026 (“2026 Notes”). The net proceeds received by us, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, were $1.387 billion. A portion of the net proceeds were used to retire our outstanding $1 billion 5.9% Senior Notes due 2016 (“2016 Notes”) at maturity on April 15, 2016. On March 28, 2016, we settled the outstanding forward-starting interest rate swap, which was entered into in connection with the refinancing of the 2016 Notes, for $54.5 million, which was paid to the counterparties on April 6, 2016. The settlement payment will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Notes resulting in an

7

effective interest rate on the 2026 Notes of approximately 4.1%. At March 31, 2016, we recorded a liability of $54.5 million, which is included in other current liabilities, and the related loss of $31.8 million, net of income taxes, in other comprehensive income.

On January 19, 2016, we terminated the $1 billion interest rate swap on our 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”) and realized a gain of $54.2 million. The gain will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the 2022 Notes. In connection with the $750 million interest rate swap on the 3.65% Senior Notes due 2024 (“2024 Notes”) at March 31, 2016, we recorded a receivable, which is included in other assets, of $20.2 million and at December 31, 2015, we recorded a liability, which was included in long-term liabilities of $10.0 million. The asset and liability represent the fair value of the swap that was substantially offset by the change in the carrying value of the 2024 Notes due to the change in fair value of the notes. Accordingly, any hedge ineffectiveness was not material to our results of operations.

On April 6, 2016, in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes, we entered into a $500 million notional amount fixed-to-floating interest rate swap. The swap hedges the risk of changes in fair value of a portion of the notes attributable to changes in the benchmark LIBOR interest rate. We will receive fixed interest rate payments equal to the coupon interest rate on the notes and will pay a variable interest rate equal to three month LIBOR, plus a spread of 1.982%. The swap qualifies and is designated as a fair value hedge on the 2026 Notes. Gains and losses attributed to changes in the fair value of the swap are expected to substantially offset changes in the fair value of the notes attributed to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The net interest settlement is recorded in interest expense.

As of April 6, 2016, the total aggregate principal amount of our fixed rate senior notes was $4.9 billion and the total notional amount of the fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps was $1.25 billion.

6. Segment Reporting

Our five branded agency networks operate in the advertising, marketing and corporate communications services industry, and are organized into agency networks, virtual client networks, regional reporting units and operating groups. Our networks, virtual client networks and agencies increasingly share clients and provide clients with integrated services. 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.

The agency networks' regional reporting units comprise three principal regions; the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific. The regional reporting units monitor the performance and are responsible for the agencies in their region. Agencies within the regional reporting units serve similar clients in similar industries and in many cases the same clients and have similar economic characteristics.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are a strategic holding company providing advertising, marketing and corporate communications services to clients through our branded networks and agencies around the world. On a global, pan-regional and local basis, our networks and agencies provide a comprehensive range of services in four fundamental 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 networks and 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 requires that multiple agencies collaborate 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 currently 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 and have a large and diverse client base. In the first quarter of 2016, our largest client accounted for 2.9% of our revenue and our 100 largest clients accounted for approximately 53% of our revenue. Our business is spread across a number of industry sectors with no one industry comprising more than 14% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016. 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 quarter of 2016, revenue increased$29.9 million, or 0.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2015. Throughout 2015 and continuing into the first quarter of 2016, substantially all foreign currencies weakened against the U.S. Dollar. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced revenue $96.6 million, or 2.8%, acquisitions net of dispositions reduced revenue $4.2 million, or 0.1%, and organic growth increased revenue $130.7 million, or 3.8%.

Global economic conditions have a direct impact on our business and financial performance. In particular, a contraction in global or regional economic conditions poses a risk that our clients may reduce, postpone or cancel spending on advertising, marketing and corporate communications services which would reduce the demand for our services. In the first three months of 2016, the United States and the major economies of Asia continued their modest economic growth. Economic conditions in the Euro Zone remain unsettled with uneven growth across the region and unstable political and economic conditions in Brazil contributed to its continuing downward economic trend that began in the second quarter of 2015. The economic and fiscal issues facing certain countries, particularly in Europe and Latin America, continue to cause economic uncertainty in those markets; however, the impact on our business varies by country. We will continue to monitor economic conditions closely, as well as 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 our working capital. There can be no assurance whether, or to what extent, our efforts to mitigate any impact of future adverse economic conditions, reductions in 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 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 expenditures, clients continue to require greater coordination of marketing activities. 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 of 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 2016 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 focus on are revenue and operating expenses. We analyze revenue growth by reviewing the components and mix of the growth, including growth by principal regional market, growth by marketing discipline, impact from foreign currency fluctuations, growth from acquisitions and growth from our largest clients.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, our revenue increased0.9% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced revenue by 2.8%, acquisitions, net of dispositions reduced revenue 0.1% and organic growth increased revenue 3.8%. Across our principal regional markets, the changes in revenue were: North America increased2.7%, Europe decreased1.3%, Asia Pacific decreased0.7% and Latin America decreased10.1%. In North America, moderate growth in the United States and Canada was partially offset by the weakening of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar. In Europe, growth in the U.K., Germany and Spain was offset by the weakening of all major European currencies against the U.S. Dollar and negative performance in The Netherlands. The decrease in revenue in Latin America was a result of the weakening of most currencies in the region against the U.S. Dollar, especially the Brazilian Real. The continuing decline in our revenue in Brazil was due to the uncertainty in both the economic and political climate, which offset our growth from our acquisition in Brazil and also overshadowed strong growth in Mexico. In Asia Pacific, growth in the major economies in the region was offset by the weakening of most currencies in the region. The change in revenue in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015, including the negative impact of currency changes, in our four fundamental disciplines was: advertising increased4.0%, CRM decreased3.2%, public relations decreased1.5% and specialty communications increased1.1%.

We measure cost of services in two distinct cost categories: salary and service costs and occupancy and other costs. As a service business, salary and service costs make up the vast majority of our operating expenses and substantially all these costs comprise the essential components directly linked to the delivery of our services, such as employee compensation, including freelance labor, employee benefit related costs, direct service costs, including the costs of third-party suppliers, and client-related travel costs. Occupancy and other costs consist of the indirect costs related to the delivery of our services, including office and equipment rent, other occupancy costs, technology costs, general office expenses and other expenses.

In addition to cost of services, operating expenses include SG&A expenses and depreciation and amortization. SG&A expenses primarily consist of third-party marketing costs, professional fees and compensation and related benefits and occupancy and other costs of our corporate and executive offices, including group-wide finance and accounting, treasury, legal and governance, human resource oversight and similar costs.

Each of our agencies requires professionals with the skill sets that are common across our disciplines. At the core of the skill sets 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.

Operating expenses increased sightly in first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Salary and service costs, which tend to fluctuate with changes in revenue, increased$27.4 million, or 1.1% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Occupancy and other costs, which are less directly linked to changes in revenue than salary and service costs, decreased$17.9 million, or 5.6%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015.

Operating margin increased0.3% to 11.2% in the first quarter of 2016 from 10.9% in the first quarter of 2015 and earnings before interest, taxes and amortization of intangible assets, or EBITA, margin increased0.3% to 12.0% in the first quarter of 2016 from 11.7% in the first quarter of 2015.

Net interest expense increased$5.9 million to $40.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. In the first quarter of 2016, interest expense increased $6.7 million to $50.3 million, primarily resulting from the reduced benefit of the fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps on a portion of our 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022, or 2022 Notes. In January 2016, we terminated the $1 billion notional value interest rate swap on the 2022 Notes. By terminating the swap, we were able to lock interest savings over the remaining term of the 2022 Notes reducing the effective rate to 2.7% from 3.5%. As a result, in the first quarter of 2016 there was less floating rate benefit from the swaps and this will also be the case for the remainder of 2016 compared to 2015. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in interest income of$0.8 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period. The increase in interest income resulted from our cash management efforts and higher interest earned on cash balances in our international treasury centers, net of negative foreign exchange translation effects in the current period.

14

Our effective tax rate remained flat period-over-period at 32.8%.

Net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the first quarter of 2016increased$9.3 million, or 4.4%, to $218.4 million from $209.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. The period-over-period increase is due to the factors described above. Diluted net income per common share - Omnicom Group Inc. increased8.4% to $0.90 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $0.83 in the first quarter of 2015 due to the factors described above, as well as the impact of the reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding resulting from repurchases of our common stock, net of shares issued for 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 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

In the first quarter of 2016, revenue increased$29.9 million, or 0.9%, to $3,499.1 million from $3,469.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced revenue $96.6 million, acquisitions, net of dispositions reduced revenue $4.2 million and organic growth increased revenue $130.7 million.

The components of revenue change for the first quarter of 2016 in the United States (“Domestic”) and the remainder of the world (“International”) were (in millions):

	Total					Domestic					International
	$			%		$			%		$			%
March 31, 2015	$	3,469.2				$	1,958.2				$	1,511.0
Components of revenue change:
Foreign exchange impact	(96.6		)	(2.8	)%	—			—	%	(96.6		)	(6.4	)%
Acquisitions, net of dispositions	(4.2		)	(0.1	)%	(25.7		)	(1.3	)%	21.5			1.4	%
Organic growth	130.7			3.8	%	75.1			3.8	%	55.6			3.7	%
March 31, 2016	$	3,499.1		0.9	%	$	2,007.6		2.5	%	$	1,491.5		(1.3	)%

The components and percentages are calculated as follows:

• The foreign exchange impact is calculated by translating the current period’s local currency revenue using the prior period average exchange rates to derive current period constant currency revenue (in this case $3,595.7 million for the Total column). The foreign exchange impact is the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. Dollars and the current period constant currency revenue ($3,499.1 million less $3,595.7 million for the Total column).

• Acquisitions, net of dispositions is calculated by aggregating the prior period revenue of the acquired businesses, less the prior period revenue of any business that was disposed of in the current 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 ($3,469.2 million for the Total column).

For the first quarter of 2016, changes in foreign exchange rates reduced revenue by 2.8%, or $96.6 million, compared to the first quarter of 2015. Substantially all currencies have weakened against the U.S. Dollar, with the most significant impacts resulting from the weakening of the Euro and British Pound, as well as the Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, Canadian Dollar, Russian Ruble and South African Rand.

Our results of operations are subject to risk from the translation to U.S. Dollars of the revenue and expenses of our foreign operations, which are generally denominated in their local currency. However, for the most part, because the revenue and expenses of our foreign operations are denominated in the same currency, the economic impact on operating margin is minimized. Assuming exchange rates at April 15, 2016 remain unchanged, we expect the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates to reduce revenue by approximately 1.0% for the year and 1.5% in the second quarter of 2016.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2016 and the percentage change in revenue and organic growth from the first quarter of 2015 in our principal regional markets were (in millions):

	$		% Change		% Organic Growth
Americas:
North America	$	2,123.2	2.7	%	4.5	%
Latin America	75.3		(10.1	)%	(7.8	)%
EMEA:
Europe	889.7		(1.3	)%	2.7	%
Middle East and Africa	56.6		(5.8	)%	1.7	%
Asia Pacific	354.3		(0.7	)%	5.1	%
	$	3,499.1	0.9	%	3.8	%

Europe comprises the U.K., and the Euro currency countries and other European countries that have not adopted the European Union Monetary standard. In the first quarter of 2016, the percentage of revenue attributed to the U.K. and the Euro currency and other European countries was 9.6% and 15.8%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2016, revenue decreased2.8% in the U.K. and revenue decreased0.4% in the Euro currency and other European countries.

16

In North America, moderate growth in the United States and Canada was partially offset by the weakening of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar. In Europe, growth in the U.K., Germany and Spain was offset by the weakening of all major European currencies against the U.S. Dollar and negative performance in The Netherlands. The decrease in revenue in Latin America was a result of the weakening of most currencies in the region against the U.S. Dollar, especially the Brazilian Real. The continuing decline in our revenue in Brazil was due to the uncertainty in both the economic and political climate, which offset our growth from our acquisition in Brazil and also overshadowed strong growth in Mexico. In Asia Pacific, growth in the major economies in the region was offset by the weakening of most currencies in the region.

In the normal course of business, our agencies both gain and lose business from clients each year due to a variety of factors. The net change through the first three months of 2016 was an overall gain in new business. Under our client-centric approach, we seek to broaden our relationships with all of our clients. Our largest client represented 2.9% and 2.7% of our revenue for the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our ten largest and 100 largest clients represented 17.5% and 53.0% of our revenue for the first quarter of 2016, respectively, and 18.0% and 52.1% of our revenue for the first quarter of 2015, respectively.

Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, barring unforeseen events and excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, as a result of continued strong operating performance by many of our agencies and new business activities, we expect our revenue to increase modestly in excess of the weighted average nominal GDP growth in our major markets.

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.

Operating Income	$	392.1	11.2	%	$	377.7	10.9	%	$	14.4		3.8	%

Operating expenses increased sightly in first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Salary and service costs, which tend to fluctuate with changes in revenue, increased$27.4 million, or 1.1%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Occupancy and other costs, which are less directly linked to changes in revenue than salary and service costs, decreased$17.9 million, or 5.6%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015 principally resulting from our ongoing efforts to reduce occupancy and other costs. SG&A expenses increased sightly period-over-period primarily related to professional fees incurred in connection with our acquisition activities.

Operating margin increased0.3% to 11.2% in the first quarter of 2016 from 10.9% in the first quarter of 2015 and EBITA margin increased0.3% to 12.0% in the first quarter of 2016 from 11.7% in the first quarter of 2015.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense increased$5.9 million to $40.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. In the first quarter of 2016, interest expense increased $6.7 million to $50.3 million, primarily resulting from the reduced benefit of the fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps on a portion of our 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022, or 2022 Notes. In January 2016, we terminated the $1 billion notional value interest rate swap on the 2022 Notes. By terminating the swap, we were able to lock interest savings over the remaining term of the 2022 Notes reducing the effective rate to 2.7% from 3.5%. As a result, in the first quarter of 2016 there was less floating rate benefit from the swaps and this will also be the case for the remainder of 2016 compared to 2015. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in interest income of$0.8 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period. The increase in interest income resulted from our cash management efforts and higher interest earned on cash balances in our international treasury centers, net of negative foreign exchange translation effects in the current period. A complete discussion of our interest rate swaps is included in Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

18

On April 6, 2016, we issued $1.4 billion principal amount of 3.60% senior notes due April 15, 2026 (“2026 Notes”) and we entered into a $500 million notional amount fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on the 2026 Notes.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate remained flat period-over-period at 32.8%.

Net Income Per Common Share - Omnicom Group Inc.

Net income - Omnicom Group Inc. in the first quarter of 2016increased$9.3 million, or 4.4%, to $218.4 million from $209.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. The period-over-period increase is due to the factors described above. Diluted net income per common share - Omnicom Group Inc. increased8.4% to $0.90 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $0.83 in the first quarter of 2015, due to the factors described above, as well as the impact of the reduction in our weighted average common shares outstanding resulting from repurchases of our common stock, net of shares issued for stock option exercises and shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For a more complete understanding of our accounting policies, the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, 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 2015 10-K.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Sources and Requirements

Our primary source of liquidity is operating cash flow. In addition to our cash and cash equivalents, additional liquidity sources include access to the commercial paper market, our $2.5 billion revolving credit facility, or Credit Facility, uncommitted domestic and international credit lines and access to the capital markets. These sources of liquidity fund our non-discretionary cash requirements and our discretionary spending.

Working capital is our principal non-discretionary funding requirement. In addition, we have contractual obligations related to our senior notes, recurring business operations, primarily related to lease obligations, and contingent purchase price obligations (earn-outs) from prior acquisitions. Our principal discretionary cash spending includes dividend payments to common shareholders, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock. We have a short-term borrowing requirement normally peaking during the second quarter of the year primarily due to the timing of payments for incentive compensation, income taxes and contingent purchase price obligations.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our non-discretionary cash requirements, and our discretionary spending through 2016. Our cash and cash equivalents, access to the commercial paper market, Credit Facility, uncommitted credit lines and access to the capital markets provide additional sources of liquidity.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased$857.9 million from December 31, 2015 and short-term investments decreased$11.8 million from December 31, 2015. During the first three months of 2016, we used$461.2 million of cash in operations, which included the use of operating capital of $807.1 million. Our discretionary spending during the first three months of 2016 was: capital expenditures of $41.4 million; dividends paid to common shareholders of $122.2 million; dividends paid to shareholders of noncontrolling interests of $14.9 million; repurchases of our common stock, net of proceeds from stock option exercises and related tax benefits and common stock sold to our employee stock purchase plan, of $193.2 million; and, acquisition payments, including payment of contingent purchase price obligations and acquisition of additional shares of noncontrolling interests, net of cash acquired, of $114.6 million. In the first three months of 2016, the impact of the translation of foreign cash balances to U.S. Dollars increased cash and cash equivalents by $77.8 million.

Cash Management

Our regional treasury centers in North America, Europe and Asia, which are structured as wholly owned finance subsidiaries, manage our cash and liquidity. 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 issue up to a total of $2 billion of U.S. Dollar-denominated commercial paper or borrow under the Credit Facility or the uncommitted credit lines. This process enables us to manage our debt more efficiently and utilize our cash more effectively, as well as 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 credit lines.

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

Our net debt position, which we define as total debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, increased $950.6 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to December 31, 2015. The increase in net debt is primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $857.9 million primarily arising from the unfavorable change in our operating capital of $807.1 million, which typically occurs in the first half of the year.

Net debt is a Non-GAAP financial measure. This presentation, together with the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, reflects one of the key metrics used by us to assess our cash management performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with US GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

At March 31, 2016, our foreign subsidiaries held approximately $1.5 billion of our total cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 billion. 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.

Debt Instruments and Related Covenants

At March 31, 2016, as a source of short-term financing, we have the $2.5 billion Credit Facility that expires July 31, 2020 and domestic and international uncommitted credit lines that aggregated $1.2 billion, and we can issue up to $2 billion of commercial paper.

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 3 times for the most recently ended 12-month period (EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and an Interest Coverage Ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of at least 5 times for the most recently ended 12-month period. At March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with these covenants as our Leverage Ratio was 2.1 times and our Interest Coverage Ratio was 11.9 times. The Credit Facility does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends or repurchase our common stock.

At March 31, 2016, our senior notes outstanding were unchanged from December 31, 2015. On April 6, 2016, we issued $1.4 billion principal amount of 2026 Notes. A portion of the net proceeds were used to retire our outstanding $1 billion 5.9% Senior Notes due 2016 at maturity on April 15, 2016.

On January 19, 2016, we terminated the interest rate swap on the 2022 Notes and on March 28, 2016, we settled our outstanding forward-starting interest rate swap, which was entered into in connection with the refinancing of the 2016 Notes. Additionally, on April 6, 2016, we entered into a $500 million notional amount fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on the 2026 Notes. A complete discussion of our interest rate swaps is included in Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

As of April 6, 2016, the total aggregate principal amount of our fixed rate senior notes was $4.9 billion and the total notional amount of the fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps was $1.25 billion. The interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting our debt portfolio to approximately 75% fixed rate obligations and 25% floating rate obligations.

20

Omnicom and its wholly owned finance subsidiary Omnicom Capital Inc., or OCI, are co-obligors under all the senior notes. The senior notes are a joint and several liability of us and OCI and we unconditionally guarantee OCI’s obligations with respect to the senior notes. OCI provides funding for our operations by incurring debt and lending the proceeds to our operating subsidiaries. OCI’s assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and intercompany loans made to our operating subsidiaries and the related interest receivable. There are no restrictions on the ability of OCI or us to obtain funds from our subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances. Our senior notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.

Credit Markets and Availability of Credit

We typically fund our day-to-day liquidity by issuing commercial paper. As an additional source of funding, we may borrow under the Credit Facility or the uncommitted credit lines. At March 31, 2016, there were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Facility or the uncommitted credit lines.

Commercial paper activity for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was (dollars in millions):

	2016			2015
Average amount outstanding during the quarter	$	601.7		$	558.7
Maximum amount outstanding during the quarter	$	1,160.0		$	983.5
Average days outstanding	8.0			8.5
Weighted average interest rate	0.67		%	0.44		%

Our access to the commercial paper market and the cost of these borrowings are affected by our credit ratings and market conditions. S&P rates our long-term and short-term debt BBB+ and A2, respectively, and Moody’s rates our long-term and short-term debt Baa1 and P2, respectively. Our outstanding senior notes and Credit Facility do not contain provisions that require acceleration of cash payments in the event our debt credit ratings are downgraded.

We expect to continue funding our day-to-day liquidity by issuing commercial paper. However, disruptions in the credit markets may lead to periods of illiquidity in the commercial paper market and higher credit spreads. To mitigate any future disruption in the credit markets and to fund our liquidity we may borrow under the Credit Facility or access the capital markets if favorable conditions exist. We will continue to monitor closely our liquidity and conditions in the credit markets. We cannot predict with any certainty the impact on us of any future disruptions in the credit markets. In such circumstances, we may need to obtain additional financing to fund our day-to-day working capital requirements. Such additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

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 and we grant credit to qualified clients in the normal course of business. 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 2.9% of our revenue for the first three months of 2016. However, during periods of economic downturn, the credit profiles of our clients could change.

In the normal course of business, our agencies enter into contractual commitments with media providers and production companies on behalf of our clients at levels that can substantially exceed the revenue from our services. These commitments are included in accounts payable when the services are delivered by the media providers or production companies. If permitted by local law and the client agreement, many of our agencies purchase media and production services for our clients as an agent for a disclosed principal. In addition, while operating practices vary by country, media type and media vendor, in the United States and certain foreign markets, many of our agencies’ contracts with media and production providers specify that our agencies are not liable to the media and production providers under the theory of sequential liability until and to the extent we have been paid by our client for the media or production services.

Where purchases of media and production services are made by our agencies as a principal or are not subject to the theory of sequential liability, the risk of a material loss as a result of payment default by our clients could increase significantly and such a loss could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

21

In addition, our methods of managing the risk of payment default, including obtaining credit insurance, requiring payment in advance, mitigating the potential loss in the marketplace or negotiating with media providers, may be less available or unavailable during a severe economic downturn.

ITEM 3. QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We manage our exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risk through various strategies, including the use of derivative financial instruments. We use forward foreign exchange contracts as economic hedges to manage the cash flow volatility arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Additionally, we use interest rate swaps to manage our interest expense and structure our debt portfolio to achieve a mix of fixed rate and floating rate debt. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Utilizing derivative instruments exposes us to the risk that counterparties to the derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, we have a policy of only entering into derivative contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based on specific minimum credit standards and other factors.

Our 2015 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 2015 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 reports we file with the SEC 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 the reports 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. Management, including our CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2016. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, 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 March 31, 2016 are appropriate.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management, with the participation of our CEO, CFO and our agencies, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2016. 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 2015 10-K, has issued an attestation report on Omnicom’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, dated February 9, 2016.

Presentation of Financial Statements

Presentation of Financial Statements

The terms “Omnicom,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refer to Omnicom Group Inc. and our subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“2015 10-K”). Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

Effective January 1, 2016, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the current and prior period are reported as a separate line in the unaudited consolidated statements of income. Historically, we included SG&A expenses in salary and service costs and occupancy and other costs. In addition, we present cost of services in two distinct categories: salary and service costs and occupancy and other costs. As a service business, salary and service costs make up the vast majority of our operating expenses and substantially all these costs comprise the essential components directly linked to the delivery of our services, such as employee compensation, including freelance labor, employee benefit related costs, direct service costs, including the costs of third-party suppliers, and client-related travel costs. Occupancy and other costs consist of the indirect costs related to the delivery of our services, including office and equipment rent, other occupancy costs, technology costs, general office expenses and other expenses. SG&A expenses primarily consist of third-party marketing costs, professional fees and compensation and related benefits and occupancy and other costs of our corporate and executive offices, including group-wide finance and accounting, treasury, legal and governance, human resource oversight and similar costs.

New Accounting Standards [Abstract]

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which will replace all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to all annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted only for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2016. ASU 2014-09 provides for one of two methods of transition: retrospective application to each prior period presented or recognition of the cumulative effect of retrospective application of the new standard as of the beginning of the period of initial application. Presently, we are not yet in a position to conclude on the application date or the transition method we will choose. Based on our initial assessment, the impact of the application of the new standard will likely result in a change in the timing of our revenue recognition for performance incentives received from clients and the recognition of certain reimbursable out-of-pocket costs as revenue. Performance incentives are currently recognized in revenue when specific quantitative goals are achieved, or when our performance against qualitative goals is determined by the client. Under the new standard, we will be required to estimate the amount of the incentive that will be earned at the inception of the contract and recognize the incentive over the term of the contract. While performance incentives are not material to our revenue, this will result in an acceleration in revenue recognition for certain contract incentives compared to the current method. Certain incidental costs that are reimbursed by our clients and are currently required to be recorded in revenue will likely not be recorded as revenue under the new standard. We expect this will result in less revenue and related cost recorded in our results of operations. While we have not yet completed our assessment, we do not expect this change to have a material impact on our revenue and it will not result in any change to operating income.

In February 2016, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which eliminates the current tests for lease classification under U.S. GAAP and requires lessees to recognize the right-to-use assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early application is permitted. The new standard provides for a modified retrospective application for leases existing at, or entered into after, the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We will apply ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. While we are not yet in a position to assess the full impact of the application of the new standard, we expect that the impact of recording the lease liabilities and the corresponding right-to-use assets will have a significant impact on our total assets and liabilities with a minimal impact on our equity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which changes certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payments to employees. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early application is permitted. Certain changes will be applied prospectively and other changes will be applied using a modified retrospective approach with the recognition of the cumulative effect of the application of the new standard as of the beginning of the period of initial application. We will apply ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. However, we are not yet in a position to assess the impact of the application of the new standard on our results of operations or financial position.

Credit Facilities

As a source of short-term financing, we have a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) that expires July 31, 2020 and domestic and international uncommitted credit lines, and we can issue up to $2 billion of commercial paper. The uncommitted credit lines aggregated $1.17 billion and $1.16 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. There were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Facility or the uncommitted credit lines at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Available and unused credit lines at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were (in millions):

	2016		2015
Credit Facility	$	2,500.0	$	2,500.0
Uncommitted credit lines	1,169.7		1,157.7
Available and unused credit lines	$	3,669.7	$	3,657.7

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 3 times for the most recently ended 12-month period (EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and an Interest Coverage Ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of at least 5 times for the most recently ended 12-month period.At March 31, 2016 we were in compliance with these covenants as our Leverage Ratio was 2.1 times and our Interest Coverage Ratio was 11.9 times. The Credit Facility does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends or repurchase our common stock.

Short-Term Debt

Short-term debt at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $38.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, represents bank overdrafts and short-term borrowings of our international subsidiaries. Due to the short-term nature of this debt, carrying value approximates fair value.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was (in millions):

	2016			2015
5.9% Senior Notes due 2016	$	1,000.0		$	1,000.0

Long-term debt	$	3,612.7		$	3,564.2

On April 6, 2016, we issued $1.4 billion principal amount of 3.60% Senior Notes due April 15, 2026 (“2026 Notes”). The net proceeds received by us, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, were $1.387 billion. A portion of the net proceeds were used to retire our outstanding $1 billion 5.9% Senior Notes due 2016 (“2016 Notes”) at maturity on April 15, 2016. On March 28, 2016, we settled the outstanding forward-starting interest rate swap, which was entered into in connection with the refinancing of the 2016 Notes, for $54.5 million, which was paid to the counterparties on April 6, 2016. The settlement payment will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Notes resulting in an effective interest rate on the 2026 Notes of approximately 4.1%. At March 31, 2016, we recorded a liability of $54.5 million, which is included in other current liabilities, and the related loss of $31.8 million, net of income taxes, in other comprehensive income.

On January 19, 2016, we terminated the $1 billion interest rate swap on our 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”) and realized a gain of $54.2 million. The gain will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the 2022 Notes. In connection with the $750 million interest rate swap on the 3.65% Senior Notes due 2024 (“2024 Notes”) at March 31, 2016, we recorded a receivable, which is included in other assets, of $20.2 million and at December 31, 2015, we recorded a liability, which was included in long-term liabilities of $10.0 million. The asset and liability represent the fair value of the swap that was substantially offset by the change in the carrying value of the 2024 Notes due to the change in fair value of the notes. Accordingly, any hedge ineffectiveness was not material to our results of operations.

On April 6, 2016, in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes, we entered into a $500 million notional amount fixed-to-floating interest rate swap. The swap hedges the risk of changes in fair value of a portion of the notes attributable to changes in the benchmark LIBOR interest rate. We will receive fixed interest rate payments equal to the coupon interest rate on the notes and will pay a variable interest rate equal to three month LIBOR, plus a spread of 1.982%. The swap qualifies and is designated as a fair value hedge on the 2026 Notes. Gains and losses attributed to changes in the fair value of the swap are expected to substantially offset changes in the fair value of the notes attributed to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The net interest settlement is recorded in interest expense.

As of April 6, 2016, the total aggregate principal amount of our fixed rate senior notes was $4.9 billion and the total notional amount of the fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps was $1.25 billion.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

Our five branded agency networks operate in the advertising, marketing and corporate communications services industry, and are organized into agency networks, virtual client networks, regional reporting units and operating groups. Our networks, virtual client networks and agencies increasingly share clients and provide clients with integrated services. 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.

The agency networks' regional reporting units comprise three principal regions; the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific. The regional reporting units monitor the performance and are responsible for the agencies in their region. Agencies within the regional reporting units serve similar clients in similar industries and in many cases the same clients and have similar economic characteristics.

Revenue and long-lived assets and goodwill by geographic region as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were (in millions):

	Americas		EMEA		Asia Pacific
2016
Revenue	$	2,198.5	$	946.3	$	354.3

Revenue	$	2,151.0	$	961.4	$	356.8
Long-lived assets and goodwill	6,136.3		2,635.6		549.4

The Americas comprises North America, which includes the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, and Latin America, which includes Mexico. EMEA comprises the United Kingdom, the Euro currency countries, other European countries that have not adopted the European Union Monetary standard, the Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific comprises Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and other Asian countries. Revenue in the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2,007.6 million and $1,958.2 million, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments is determined using model-derived valuations, taking into consideration foreign currency rates for the foreign currency derivatives and readily observable inputs for LIBOR interest rates and yield curves to derive the present value of the future cash flows for the interest rate swap derivatives and counterparty credit risk for each. The estimated fair value of the contingent purchase price obligations is calculated in accordance with the terms of each acquisition agreement and is discounted. The fair value of debt is based on quoted market prices.
