| Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
| On October 28, 2003, Omnicom Group Inc. (“Omnicom”) issued an earnings release reporting its financial results for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003. A copy of this earnings release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. Following the issuance of this earnings release, Omnicom hosted an earnings call in which its financial results for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 were discussed. The investor presentation materials used for the call are attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto. |
| On October 28, 2003, Omnicom posted the materials attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 on its web site (www.omnicomgroup.com). |
| As discussed on page 1 of Exhibit 99.2, the investor presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are present expectations, and are subject to the limitations listed therein and in Omnicom’s other SEC reports, including that actual events or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. |
| In addition, the investor presentation includes information on traditional return on equity, which for the amounts shown for 1994 and 2000, excludes a charge for the cumulative effect of an accounting change and a non-recurring gain, respectively. As a result of these exclusions, this presentation is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under applicable SEC rules and regulations. The investor presentation includes an explanation of why management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors, as well as a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest GAAP financial measure. |
