2017 vs. 2016 P&L Summary Second Quarter 1 2017 2016 Revenue 3,790.1$ 3,884.9$ Operating Expenses (a) 3,224.6 3,323.1 Operating Profit 565.5 561.8 Net Interest Expense 45.3 44.8 Income Tax Expense (b) 166.7 (b) 167.9 Tax Rate % (b) 32.0% (b) 32.5% Income from Equity Method Investments 1.6 2.8 Net Income Attributed To Noncontrolling Interests 26.5 25.8 Net Income - Omnicom Group Inc. 328.6$ 326.1$ Second Quarter July 20, 2017 (a) Additional information on our operating expenses can be found on page 23. (b) O n January 1, 2017, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016 - 09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employ ee Share - Based Payment Accounting” (ASU 2016 - 09), which requires all additional tax benefits or deficiencies related to share - based compensation to be recognized in results of op erations on the restricted stock vesting date or on the exercise date for stock options. ASU 2016 - 09 is required to be adopted on a prospective basis and retroactive restatement is not permitted. As a result, income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 reflects a reduction of $2.3 million arising from a larger cash tax deduction as compared to the book tax deduction resulting from the vesting of restricted stock and stock options that were ex erc ised in the three months ended June 30, 2017. The reduction of our income tax expense impacted our tax rate, reducing our effective tax rate by 0.4% to 32.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 . The larger tax deduction is primarily due to the increase in the intrinsic value of these awards that resulted from an increase in the price of our common stock since the grant date of the awards.

The foreign exchange rate impact is the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. Dollars and the current period constant cur ren cy revenue. (b) Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue: Acquisition revenue is calculated as if the acquisition occurred twelve mont hs prior to the acquisition date by aggregating the comparable prior period revenue of acquisitions through the acquisition date. As a result, acquisition revenue excludes the positive or negative difference betw een our current period revenue subsequent to the acquisition date and the comparable prior period revenue and the positive or negative growth after the acquisition date is attributed to organic growth. Disposition re ven ue is calculated as if the disposition occurred twelve months prior to the disposition date by aggregating the comparable prior period revenue of disposals through the disposition date. The acquisition revenue and dis pos ition revenue amounts are netted in the presentation above. (c) Organic growth: calculated by subtracting the foreign exchange rate impact component and the acquisition revenue, net of disp osi tion revenue component from total revenue growth.

Forward - Looking Statements Certain statements in this presentation constitute forward - looking statements, including statements within the meaning of the Pr ivate Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, from time to time, the Company or its representatives have made, or may make, forward - looking statements, orally or in writing. These statements may discuss go als, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of the Company’s management as well as assumptions made by, and i nfo rmation currently available to, the Company’s management. Forward - looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “estimate, ” “ expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or similar words, phrases or expressions. These forward - looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertaint ies, many of which are outside the Company’s control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward - lookin g statements include: international, national or local economic conditions that could adversely affect the Company or its clients; losses on media purchases and production costs incurred on behalf of clients; reductions i n c lient spending, a slowdown in client payments and a deterioration in the credit markets; ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients in the manner anticipated; changes in client advertising, marketin g a nd corporate communications requirements; failure to manage potential conflicts of interest between or among clients; unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in the advertising, marketing and corporate c omm unications industries; ability to hire and retain key personnel; currency exchange rate fluctuations; reliance on information technology systems; changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting the Co mpa ny or its clients; risks associated with assumptions the Company makes in connection with its critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; and the Company’s international operations, which are subject to the ri sks of currency repatriation restrictions, social or political conditions and regulatory environment. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the oth er risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s business, including those described in the “Risk Factors” in Omnicom’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Except as required under applicable law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update these forward - looking statements. Non - GAAP Financial Measures We present financial measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“G AAP ”) and adjustments to the GAAP presentation (“Non - GAAP”), which we believe are meaningful for understanding our performance. Non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a su bstitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP. Non - GAAP financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. We provid e a reconciliation of non - GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures on pages 21 and 22. The Non - GAAP measures used in this presentation include the following: Free Cash Flow, defined as net income plus depreciation, amortization, share based compensation expense plus/(less) other items to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities. We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful measure of liquidity to evaluate our ability to generate excess cash from our operations. Primary Uses of Cash, defined as dividends to common shareholders, dividends paid to non - controlling interest shareholders, capital expe nditures, cash paid on acquisitions, payments for additional interest in controlled subsidiaries and stock repurchases, net of the proceeds and excess tax benefit from our stock plans, and excludes changes in ope rating capital and other investing and financing activities, including commercial paper issuances and redemptions used to fund working capital changes . We believe this liquidity measure is useful in identifying the significant uses of our cash. Net Free Cash Flow, defined as Free Cash Flow less the Primary Uses of Cash. Net Free Cash Flow is one of the metrics used by us to assess our sources and uses of cash and was derived from our consolida ted statements of cash flows. We believe that this liquidity measure is meaningful for understanding our primary sources and primary uses of that cash flow. EBITDA, defined as operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is meaningful operating performance measure because the financial covenants in our credit facilities are based on EBITDA. EBITA, defined as operating profit before interest, taxes and amortization and EBITA margin, defined as EBITA divided by revenue. We use EBITA and EBITA margin as additional operating performance measures, which excludes the non - cash amortization expense of intangible assets (primarily consisting of amortization arising from acquisi tions). Accordingly, we believe it is a useful measure for investors to evaluate the performance of our businesses. Net Debt, defined as total debt less cash, cash equivalents and short - term investments. We believe net debt, together with the compa rable GAAP measures, reflects one of the liquidity metrics used by us to assess our cash management. After Tax Reported Operating Profit, defined as reported operating profit less income taxes calculated using the effective tax rate for the applicable period. Management uses after tax operating profit as a measure of after tax operating performance as it excludes the after tax effects of financing and investing activities on results of operations. Other Information All dollar amounts are in millions except for per share amounts and figures shown on pages 2 and 4 and the net cash returned to shareholders figures on page 14.
