Recent performance

In Q2 2026, Core Operations revenue was $6.0 billion, up 6.1% organically year-over-year, with total reported revenue of $6.6 billion. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITA from Core Operations was $1.1 billion, a margin of 17.8%, up from 15.9% in the prior year. Reported diluted EPS was $2.08, and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS was $2.65, up 29% year-over-year. Operating income was $922.5 million, with non-GAAP Adjusted EBITA of $1.1 billion (17.2% margin). These results include IPG's operations only from the November 26, 2025 closing date, and are not comparable to prior periods.

Strategy

Management highlights three priorities: leading in agentic marketing transformation, expanding and deepening client partnerships, and helping clients win in new consumer engagement models such as sports entertainment, social creator, and AI-driven discovery. The company is focused on integrating IPG to realize cost synergies and leveraging its combined network to win consolidated client work. It emphasizes speed, integration, and scale as competitive advantages.

Risks

• Integration Risk — Merger with IPG may be more time-consuming, complex, or costly than expected, and anticipated synergies may not be realized.
• Client Spending Reductions — Adverse economic conditions, including inflation, tariffs, and geopolitical events, could lead clients to reduce or postpone marketing spending.
• Macroeconomic Disruptions — Global disruptions, including international hostilities and public health crises, could impact client demand and revenue across markets.
• Key Personnel and Client Retention — Uncertainties in retaining key employees and client relationships post-merger could disrupt business operations.

Outlook

Management expects to strengthen the company's position as an integrated growth partner, with a focus on AI-led transformation and expanding client relationships. They anticipate continued organic growth and margin expansion, driven by cost synergies from the IPG acquisition. The company will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and adjust cost structure to align with client demand.
