The various components of our business and material factors affecting us
in 2001 are discussed in our "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations" which begins on page 5 of this report.
Geographic Regions: Our total consolidated revenue is about evenly divided
between U.S. and non-U.S. operations. For financial information concerning
domestic and foreign operations and segment reporting, see note 5 to our
consolidated financial statements at pages F-12 of this report. For financial
information concerning our acquisitions in 2001, see note 2 to our consolidated
financial statements on page F-10 of this report.
Our Clients: We had over 5,000 clients in 2001, many of which were served
by more than one of our agency brands. Our 10 largest and 200 largest clients in
the aggregate accounted for 17% and 48%, respectively, of our 2001 consolidated
revenue. Our largest client was served by 20 of our agency brands last year.
This client accounted for 5.4% of our 2001 consolidated revenue. No other client
accounted for more than 2.5% of our consolidated revenue.
Our Employees: We employed over 57,000 people at December 31, 2001. We are
not party to any significant collective bargaining agreements. See our
management discussion and analysis at page 5 of this report for a discussion of
the effect of salary and related costs on our 2001 results of operations.
Risks: We face risks typical of marketing and corporate communications
services companies and other services businesses generally, including risks
arising out of changes in general economic conditions, competitive factors,
client communication requirements, and the hiring and retention of key
employees. In addition, due to our international operations, we are subject to
translation risk associated with currency fluctuations, exchange controls and
similar risks discussed in our management discussion and analysis at pages 5 to
12 of this report. For financial information on our operations by geographic
area, see note 5 to our consolidated financial statements at page F-12 of this
report.
Our revenue is dependent upon marketing and corporate communication
requirements of our clients and tends to be highest in the second and fourth
quarters of the calendar year. See our management discussion and analysis
beginning on page 5 of this report for a discussion of the effect of market
conditions, September 11th and other factors on our 2001 results of operations.
Government agencies and consumer groups have from time to time directly or
indirectly affected or attempted to affect the scope, content and manner of
presentation of advertising and other marketing communications. We believe the
total volume of advertising and marketing communications will not be materially
affected by future legislation or regulation, although the scope, content and
manner of presentation will likely continue to change.
2. Properties
We maintain office space in many of the major cities around the world,
including our principal corporate offices in New York City. Substantially all of
our office space is leased. Certain of our leases are subject to rent reviews
under various escalation clauses and certain of our leases require our payment
of various operating expenses, which may also be subject to escalation. Our
consolidated rent expense was $305.4 million in 2001, $258.9 million in 2000 and
$237.1 million in 1999, after reduction for rents received from subleases of
$8.0 million, $7.2 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Our obligations for
future minimum base rents under terms of noncancellable real estate and other
operating leases, reduced by rents to be received from existing noncancellable
subleases, are (in millions):
Net Rent
--------
2002 ................................. $343.4
2003 ................................. 300.0
2004 ................................. 255.0
2005 ................................. 212.0
2006 ................................. 191.4
Thereafter ........................... 988.2
See note 10 to our consolidated financial statements on page F-18 of this
report for a discussion of our lease commitments, including our leased
properties.

3. Legal Proceedings
We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of business. We do not presently expect that these proceedings
will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of
operations.
4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of our shareholders during the last
quarter of 2001.

PART II
5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Our common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol "OMC". On March 26, 2002, we had 3,756 holders of record of our common
shares. The table below shows the range of quarterly high and low sales prices
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape for our common shares and
the dividends paid per share for these periods.

We are subject to a number of financial tests under the terms of our
credit facilities and were in compliance with those tests as of December 31,
2001. We are not aware of any restrictions on our ability to continue to pay
dividends. See note 3 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements for
a description of our borrowing facilities at page F-10 of this report.
Since the beginning of last year, we sold $850.0 million of convertible
notes due in 2031 and $900.0 million of convertible notes due in 2032 in
separate transactions. For information about these transactions see notes 4 and
14 to our consolidated financial statements at pages F-11 to F-12 and F-22. We
initially sold the $850.0 million of convertible notes in 2001 to Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated for net cash proceeds of $830.2 million and
the $900.0 million of convertible notes in 2002 to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.,
Goldman Sach & Co. and Salomon Smith Barney Inc. for net cash proceeds of $905.0
million. The investment banks, in both transactions, resold them to a small
number of qualified institutional buyers in transactions exempt from
registrations under the federal securities laws because they did not involve
public offerings.

7/7A. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations; Critical Accounting Policies; and Quantitative and Qualitative
Information about Market Risk
Financial Results from Operations-- 2001 Compared with 2000
Revenue: Our consolidated worldwide revenue for 2001 increased 11.9% to
$6,889.4 million from $6,154.2 million in 2000. This is a result of growth in
our domestic operations of 14.1% to $3,717.0 million from $3,258.2 million in
2000, and growth in our international operations of 9.5% to $3,172.4 million
from $2,896.0 million in 2000.
Foreign exchange impacts reduced our international revenue by $174.0
million during the year, reducing our international growth by 6.0% and our
overall growth by 2.8%. The most significant impacts came from the Euro and the
British Pound as these markets represented 70.0% of our international
operations. The effect of acquisitions, net of divestitures, increased our
worldwide revenue by 6.3%, domestic revenue by 6.8% and international revenue by
5.7%. The balance of the increase in revenue represents net new business wins
and additional revenue from expanding the scope of services provided to existing
clients.
In addition to expanding our client base, expanding the scope of services
and the extension of additional services to clients, several market trends
continued to affect our business. These trends include clients increasingly
expanding the focus of their brand strategies from a national market to the
global market. And, in an effort to gain greater efficiency and effectiveness
from their marketing dollars, clients are increasingly requiring greater
coordination of their traditional advertising and marketing activities and
tending to concentrate these activities with a smaller number of service
providers.
Due to a variety of factors, including the trends mentioned above, in the
normal course of business, our agencies both gain and lose clients each year.
The net result in 2001 and historically each year for Omnicom as a whole, was an
overall gain in new business. Due to our multiple independent agency structure
and the breadth of our service offerings and geographic reach, our agencies have
more than 5,000 active client relationships in the aggregate. Our single largest
client in 2001 represented 5.4% of worldwide revenue and no other client
represented more than 2.5%. Our 10 largest and 200 largest clients represented
17.0% and 48.0% of our worldwide revenue, respectively.
Revenue from our domestic operations increased in 2001 by 14.1% over 2000.
Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenue from our international operations,
increased by 15.5% over 2000, primarily the result of the strong performance of
our agencies in the E.U. and other international markets and several
acquisitions in Asia. Additional geographic information relating to our business
is contained in note 5 to our consolidated financial statements at page F-12 of
this report.
Driven by clients' continuous demand for more effective and efficient
branding activities, we strive to provide through various client centric agency
networks that are organized to meet specific client objectives, an extensive
range of marketing and corporate communications services. These services include
advertising, brand consultancy, crisis communications, custom publishing,
database management, digital and interactive marketing, direct marketing,
directory and business-to-business advertising, employee communications,
environmental design, field marketing, healthcare communications, marketing
research, media planning and buying, multi-cultural marketing, non-profit
marketing, promotional marketing, public affairs, public relations, recruitment
communications, sports and event marketing, and other specialty communications.
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 by marketing
discipline and group them into the following four categories: traditional media
advertising, customer relationship management (CRM), public relations and
specialty communications.
Traditional media advertising revenue represented 43.6%, or $3,006.3
million, of our worldwide revenue during 2001, as compared to 44.2%, or $2,718.9
million, in 2000. The remainder of our revenue, 56.4%, or $3,883.1 million, in
2001 and 55.8%, or $3,435.4 million, in 2000, was related to our other marketing
and corporate communication services. The breakdown of this revenue was 30.8%
CRM, 14.3% public relations and 11.3% specialty communications. Revenue for
these services in 2001 increased when compared to 2000 by 16.5% for CRM, 4.3%
for public relations and 15.9% for specialty communications.
September 11th and Market Conditions: The tragic events of September 11th
adversely impacted our business. We experienced disruptions in client spending
patterns related to the cancellation and postponement of activities. As a
result, operating margins deteriorated during the third quarter. This decline
occurred primarily
5
because we had only a limited ability to adjust our cost structure in response
to the sudden reduction in revenues.
We do not believe September 11th permanently impacted any of our agencies.
While the specific effects of September 11th began to dissipate over the
remainder of 2001, overall economic conditions remained weak. We believe that
the diversity of our clients across industries, the broad range of services our
agencies provide, the diversity of our geographic locations and the flexibility
of certain elements of our cost structure mitigated much of the economic impact
on our business as a whole.
Operating Expenses: Our 2001 worldwide operating expense increased 12.2%
to $5,921.2 million from $5,276.1 million in 2000.
The most significant component of our cost structure is salary and related
costs, which increased by $316.2 million to $3,949.6 million in 2001 from
$3,633.4 the prior year. These expenses function as a semi-variable component of
our cost structure due to our ability to adjust workforce levels and incentive
compensation to mitigate fluctuations in the performance of our individual
agencies. Accordingly, to compensate for the impact of September 11th and weak
economic conditions, in 2001 we reduced these costs as a percentage of revenue
to 57.3% from 59.0% in 2000.
Our remaining operating expenses, which primarily consist of occupancy
costs, depreciation, amortization and client service costs, increased by $328.9
million to $1,971.6 million in 2001 from $1,642.7 the prior year. These costs
are generally less variable and are adjusted in response to business trends over
time. As a result, these expenses increased as a percentage of revenue to 28.6%
in 2001 from 26.7% in 2000.
In the first quarter of 2001, we recorded a $2.9 million after tax charge
($4.9 million pre-tax) for the cumulative effect of adopting, effective January
1, 2001, a new accounting principle applicable to financial instruments,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). The charge resulted from
our accounting for a hedge of our net Yen investments. We utilized cross
currency interest rate swap contracts to hedge our net Yen investments.
Consistent with our policy with respect to derivative instruments and hedging
activities, and in accordance with SFAS No. 133, when the spot rate is declared
as the underlying hedge of a net investment, any ineffectiveness is recorded in
operating income or expense. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company
replaced the contract with a floating rate cross currency swap contract. As a
result, minimal ineffectiveness will result for the remaining term of up to five
years.
Operating Margin: Our operating margin declined for the year to 14.1% from
14.3% in 2000 (exclusive of a gain of $110.0 million pre-tax and $63.8 million
after-tax, on a portion of our investment in Razorfish, Inc.). The reduction was
primarily the result of the effects of September 11th and subsequent further
weakening of economic conditions. Including the Razorfish gain in 2000, our
operating margin was 16.1%.
Net Interest Expense: Our net interest expense for 2001 decreased to $72.8
million from $76.5 million in 2000. This decrease resulted from the conversion
of our 4 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures at the end of 2000 and the
general lowering of short-term interest rates as the year progressed. These
benefits were partially offset by increased borrowings used to fund acquisitions
and stock repurchases completed during the year. In 2002, we expect the
conversion of our 2 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures, which occurred at
the end of 2001, to further reduce reported interest expense.
Income Taxes: Our consolidated effective income tax rate was 39.3% in 2001
as compared to 40.3% in 2000 (exclusive of the tax impact of the Razorfish
gain). The decrease was primarily attributable to the implementation of various
planning and restructuring initiatives designed to reduce the tax inefficiency
of our holding company structure, as well as the lowering of statutory rates in
several international markets. Including the Razorfish gain in 2000, our
consolidated effective income tax rate was 40.5%.
Equity in Affiliates and Minority Interests: In 2001, our equity in
affiliates increased by 15.6% to $12.6 million from $10.9 million in 2000. The
increase resulted from new acquisitions of affiliated companies and increased
ownership of existing affiliated companies, partially offset by increased
ownership in certain affiliates that resulted in their consolidation during the
year and lower earnings of certain affiliates.
In 2001, minority interests decreased by 3.3% to $52.8 million from $54.6
million in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to lower earnings of certain
subsidiaries, partially offset by our taking increased ownership
6
positions in certain affiliates that resulted in their subsequent consolidation
and the related recognition of their minority interests.
Earnings Per Share (EPS): Our net income for 2001 increased by 15.7% to
$503.1 million from $435.0 million in 2000 (exclusive of the Razorfish gain) and
our diluted EPS increased by 12.5% to $2.70 from $2.40. While our net income in
2001 was positively impacted by the conversion of the 4 1/4% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures at the end of 2000, the shares associated with the
conversion of these debentures were included in computing diluted EPS for both
2001 and 2000. Foreign exchange impacts had the effect of reducing diluted EPS
in 2001 versus 2000 by $0.06. Including the Razorfish gain, our net income
increased by 1.0% to $503.1 million from $498.8 million in 2000 and our diluted
EPS decreased by 1.1% to $2.70 from $2.73 in 2000.
Financial Results from Operations-- 2000 Compared with 1999
Revenue: Our consolidated worldwide revenue for 2000 increased 20.0% to
$6,154.2 million from $5,130.5 million in 1999. This was a result of growth in
domestic operations of 28.6% to $3,258.2 million from $2,532.9 million in 1999,
and growth in international operations of 11.5% to $2,896.0 million from
$2,597.6 million in 1999.
Foreign exchange impacts reduced our international revenue by $285.5
million during the year, reducing our international growth by 11.0 % and overall
growth by 5.6%. The most significant impacts came from the Euro and the British
Pound as these markets represented 72% of our international business. The effect
of acquisitions, net of divestitures, increased our worldwide revenue by 8.9%,
our domestic revenue by 10.8% and our international revenue by 7.1%. The balance
of the increase represents net new business wins and additional revenue from
expanding the scope of services to existing clients.
Revenue from our domestic operations increased in 2000 by 28.6% over 1999.
Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenue from our international operations
increased by 22.5% over 1999, primarily the result of the strong performance by
our agencies based in the E.U. and several acquisitions in the United Kingdom
and France. Additional geographic information relating to our business is
contained in note 5 to our consolidated financial statements at page F-12 of
this report.
Traditional media advertising revenue represented 44.2%, or $2,718.9
million, of our worldwide revenue during 2000 as compared to 46.7%, or $2,396.5,
million in 1999. The remainder of our revenue, 55.8%, or $3,435.4 million, in
2000 and 53.3%, or $2,734.1 million, in 1999, was related to our other marketing
and corporate communication services. The breakdown of this revenue was 29.6%
CRM, 15.3% public relations and 10.9% specialty communications. Revenue for
these services in 2000 increased when compared to 1999 by 28.3% for CRM, 24.6%
for public relations and 20.4% specialty communications.
Operating Expenses: Our 2000 worldwide operating expenses increased 19.7%
to $5,276.1 million from $4,406.4 million in 1999. The most significant
component of our cost structure was salary and related costs, which increased by
$579.4 million to $3,633.4 million in 2000 from $3,054.0 in 1999. Salary and
related costs represented about 59.0% of our total revenue in each of 2000 and
1999. The remaining operating expenses, primarily consisting of occupancy costs,
depreciation, amortization and client service costs, increased to 26.7% of our
total revenue to $1,642.7 in 2000 from 26.4% in 1999.
Net Interest Expense: Our net interest expense for 2000 increased to $76.5
million from $50.4 million in 1999. This increase was due to an increase in
interest rates and higher average borrowings during 2000. The higher average
borrowings were the result of acquisition payments and share repurchases during
the year.
Operating Margin: Our operating margin increased to 14.3% (exclusive of a
gain of $110.0 million pre-tax and $63.8 million after-tax on a portion of our
investment in Razorfish), as compared to 14.1% in 1999. We were able to improve
our operating margin in 2000 by enhancing our operating leverage and through our
continued emphasis on cost control and corporate purchasing efficiencies.
Including the Razorfish gain in 2000, operating margins were 16.1%.
Income Taxes: Our consolidated effective income tax rate was 40.3% in 2000
(excluding the tax impact of the Razorfish gain) as compared to 40.6% in 1999.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the implementation of various
planning and restructuring initiatives designed to reduce the tax inefficiency
of our
7
holding company structure, as well as the lowering of statutory rates in several
international markets. Including the tax impact of the Razorfish gain, our
consolidated effective income tax rate was 40.5%.
Equity in Affiliates and Minority Interests: In 2000, our equity in
affiliates decreased by 29.2% to $10.9 million from $15.4 million in 1999. This
decrease resulted from our taking an increased ownership position in certain
affiliates that resulted in the subsequent consolidation of their income in our
2000 financial statements and non-cash losses from restructuring actions taken
by one of our affiliated companies.
In 2000, minority interests increased by 3.1% to $54.6 million from $52.9
million in 1999. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions, including
increased ownership positions in some of our affiliates that resulted in their
subsequent consolidation and higher earnings at subsidiaries where minority
interests are held by third parties.
Earnings Per Share (EPS): Our net income for 2000 increased by 19.9% from
$362.9 million in 1999 (excluding the Razorfish gain) and diluted EPS increased
by 19.4% to $2.40 (excluding the Razorfish gain) from $2.01. Foreign exchange
impacts reduced EPS by $0.10. Including the Razorfish gain, our consolidated net
income increased by 37.5% to $498.8 million in 2000 from $362.9 million in 1999
and our diluted EPS increased to $2.73 from $2.01 in 1999.
Critical Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements
We are a holding company. Our business is conducted through more than
1,500 subsidiary agencies operating in more than 100 countries. Our agencies
provide a broad range of marketing and corporate communications services to more
than 5000 clients representing nearly every industry sector.
We have prepared the following supplemental summary of accounting policies
to assist in better understanding our financial statements and the related
management discussion and analysis. Readers are encouraged to consider this
supplement together with our consolidated financial statements and the related
notes to our consolidated financial statements for a more complete understanding
of accounting policies discussed below.
Estimates: Readers are reminded that the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, or
"GAAP," requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates
and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during a
reporting period. Actual results can differ from those estimates, and it is
possible that the differences could be material.
Revenue: A small portion of our contractual arrangements with clients
includes performance incentive provisions designed to link a portion of our
revenue to our performance relative to both quantitative and qualitative goals.
This revenue has historically been less than 2.0% of our annual consolidated
revenue. We recognize this portion of revenue when the specific quantitative
goals are achieved, or when our performance against qualitative goals is
determined by our clients. Additional information about revenue appears in note
1 to our consolidated financial statements on pages F-7 to F-10 of this report.
Acquisitions: We have historically made and expect to continue to make
acquisitions. In making these acquisitions, the price we pay is determined by
various factors, including our prior experience and judgement. The amount we
paid for acquisitions, including cash, stock and assumption of net liabilities
totaled $844.7 million in 2001 and $849.8 million in 2000. These acquisitions
were accounted for as purchases.
Most of our acquisitions have been relatively small transactions made
consistent with our strategy of building our various agency brands through the
extension of their service capabilities and geographic reach. The intangibles
that result from these acquisitions principally result from the purchased
companies know-how, reputation, experience and geographic location. These
intangibles have been amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to
exceed 40 years and have been written down if, and to the extent, they have been
determined to be impaired.
Additional information about acquisitions appears in notes 1 and 2 to our
consolidated financial statements on pages F-7 to F-10 of this report and
information about changes in GAAP relative to accounting for acquisitions is
described in New Accounting Pronouncements on pages F-21 to F-22 of this report.
8
Other Investments: Management continually monitors the value of its
investments to determine whether an other than temporary impairment has
occurred. A variety of factors are considered when making this determination
including the current market value of the investment and the financial condition
and prospects of the investee.
In May 2001, the Company received a non-voting non-participating preferred
stock interest in a newly formed company, Seneca Investments LLC, in exchange
for its contribution of Communicade, the Company's subsidiary that conducted its
e-services industry investment activities. The common shareholder of Seneca, who
owns all the common stock, is an established private equity investment firm. We
did not recognize a gain or loss on Seneca's formation, and management believes
that the carrying value of our Seneca investment approximated its fair value at
December 31, 2001. Additional information about Seneca is contained in note 6 to
our consolidated financial statements at pages F-13 to F-14 of this report.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). The FASB also issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS
143) in June 2001, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), in
August 2001.
SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001
to be accounted for under the purchase method. SFAS 141 superseded Accounting
Pronouncement Bulletin ("APB") Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 38, Accounting for
Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises, and is effective for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Given that all of our
acquisitions in 2000 and 2001 were accounted for under the purchase method, the
adoption of SFAS 141 on July 1, 2001 and the cessation of goodwill amortization
on post July 1, 2001 acquisitions as required by SFAS 142, as discussed below,
was not material to our 2001 consolidated results of operations or financial
position.
SFAS 142 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for acquired
goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS 142 supersedes APB Opinion No. 17,
Intangible Assets. Effective January 1, 2002, companies are no longer required
to amortize goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite lives, but
these assets will be subject to periodic testing for impairment. Additionally,
goodwill acquired in a business combination for which the acquisition date was
after June 30, 2001 is no longer required to be amortized. Had the cessation of
goodwill amortization expense been in effect on January 1, 2001, diluted EPS
would have been increased by an amount estimated at $0.42 to $0.47.
We expect to complete the required impairment testing by the end of the
second quarter of 2002 and are currently evaluating the effect that such
adoption may have on our future consolidated results of operations and financial
position. However, at this time we do not expect that the results of the
impairment testing will be material to our 2002 consolidated results of
operations or financial position.
SFAS 143 establishes accounting standards for the recognition and
measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its associated asset
retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance for legal obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS 143 is
effective in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, and we plan to adopt
SFAS 143 effective January 1, 2003. The impact of SFAS 143 on our financial
statements will depend on a variety of factors, including interpretative
guidance from the FASB. However, we do not expect that the adoption will have a
material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. SFAS 144
superseded Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,
and APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. The provisions of SFAS 144 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and we intend to
adopt SFAS 144 effective January 1, 2002. We do not expect that the adoption
will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or
financial position.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk
Our results of operations are subject to the risk of currency exchange
rate fluctuations related to our international operations. Our net income is
subject to risk from the translation of the revenue and expenses of our foreign
operations, which are generally denominated in the local currency. There are
also economic risks associated with intercompany cash movements when we move
money across different currency markets. While our agencies operate in more than
100 countries and invoice clients in more than 70 different currencies, our
major international markets are the E.U., the United Kingdom, Japan, Brazil and
Canada.
We periodically purchase derivative financial instruments as part of
managing our exposure to currency exchange fluctuations. Derivative financial
instruments are also subject to counterparty risk. Counterparty risk arises from
the inability of a counterparty to meet its obligations. To mitigate
counterparty risk, we enter into derivative contracts with major well-known
banks and financial institutions that have credit ratings at least equal to our
own. Generally, we use forward exchange contracts with maturities ranging up to
90 days to hedge our foreign currency assets and liabilities. To a lesser extent
to hedge our net Yen investments we have in place several currency and interest
rate swaps with various maturity dates ranging up to five years.
Our derivative activities are limited in volume and confined to risk
management activities related to our international operations. We have
established a centralized reporting system to evaluate the effects of changes in
interest rates, currency exchange rates and other relevant market risks. We
periodically determine the potential loss from market risk by performing a
value-at-risk computation. Value-at-risk analysis is a statistical model that
utilizes historic currency exchange and interest rate data to measure the
potential impact on future earnings of our existing portfolio of derivative
financial instruments. The value-at-risk analysis we performed on our December
31, 2001 portfolio of derivative financial instruments indicated that the risk
of loss was immaterial. This overall system is designed to enable us to initiate
remedial action, if appropriate.
At December 31, 2001, we had numerous forward foreign exchange contracts
outstanding with an aggregate notional principal of $387 million, most of which
were denominated in our major international market currencies. These contracts
predominantly hedged certain intercompany cash movements which were not recorded
in the respective company's functional currency. The terms of these contracts
were generally 90 days or less. Additionally, at December 31, 2001, we had
several cross currency interest rate swaps in place with an aggregate notational
principal amount of 16,300 million Yen with maturities up to five years. See
note 12 to our consolidated financial statements at pages F-20 to F-21 of this
report for information about the fair value of each type of derivative.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity: We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $472.2 million and
$516.8 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net cash provided by
our operating activities was $775.6 million in 2001 compared to $685.9 million
in 2000. Our operating cash flows in 2001, which are impacted by our clients'
spending patterns, reflected revenue and net income growth and an increase in
the cash provided resulting from a decrease in accounts receivable, partially
offset by a decrease in cash provided resulting from decreases in accounts
payable and decreases in accrued taxes, advance billings and other liabilities
which include accruals for incentive compensation. At December 31, 2001 and
2000, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $1,410.0 million
and $1,258.2 million, respectively. This occurs primarily because we generally
require payment from our clients before paying vendors for media and other
pass-through expenditures.
Net cash flows used in our investing activities in 2001 were $947.9
million, including $818.8 million used for acquisitions, net of cash acquired,
and $149.4 million used for capital expenditures. Of the $818.8 million used for
acquisitions and investments, $156.8 million related to acquisitions completed
in prior years.
Net cash flows from our financing activities in 2001 were $170.8 million,
including net borrowings of $354.7 million and proceeds from option exercise
payments and employee stock purchase plan contributions of $65.4 million, offset
by dividends paid to shareholders of $135.7 million, repayments of deposits
received from affiliates of $53.5 million and payments to repurchase stock of
$60.1 million.
10
Capital Resources: We maintain two revolving credit facilities with two
consortia of banks. In the second quarter 2001, we extended our 364-day, $1.0
billion revolving credit facility. This facility, which primarily supports our
issuance of commercial paper, was renewed under substantially the same terms as
had previously been in effect, including a provision which allows us to convert
all amounts outstanding at its expiration on April 25, 2002 into a one-year term
loan. During 2001, we issued $45.3 billion of commercial paper and we redeemed
$45.9 billion. The average term of the commercial paper issued was eight days.
At December 31, 2001, $269.6 million of our commercial paper was outstanding at
interest rates ranging from 2.2% to 2.7% under the $1 billion credit facility.
We also have a $500 million five-year revolving credit facility which expires on
June 30, 2003. No borrowings were outstanding under this revolving credit
facility at December 31, 2001.
We had short-term bank loans of $169.1 million at December 31, 2001,
primarily comprised of bank overdrafts by our international subsidiaries which
are treated as unsecured loans pursuant to the subsidiaries' bank agreements.
In February 2001, we issued $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of
zero-coupon notes due 2031. These notes are senior, unsecured zero-coupon
securities that are convertible into 7.7 million common shares, implying a
conversion price of $110.01 per common share, subject to normal anti-dilution
adjustments. These notes are convertible at the specified ratio only upon the
occurrence of certain events, including if our common shares trade above certain
levels, if we effect extraordinary transactions or if our long-term debt ratings
are downgraded by least three notches from their current level to Baa3 or lower
by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services. These events would not, however, result in an adjustment of the number
of shares issuable upon conversion. Holders of the notes due 2031 have the right
to put the notes back to us for, at our election, cash, stock or a combination
of both, in February of each year and we have the right to redeem the notes for
cash beginning in 2006. There are no events that accelerate the noteholders' put
rights. Beginning in February 2006, if the market price of our common shares
exceeds certain thresholds, we may be required to pay contingent cash interest
on the notes equal to the amount of dividends that would be paid on the common
shares into which the notes are contingently convertible.
In March 2002, we issued $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of
zero-coupon notes due 2032. The notes are senior, unsecured zero-coupon
securities that are convertible into 8.2 million common shares, implying a
conversion price of $110.01 per common share, subject to normal anti-dilution
adjustments. These notes are convertible at the specified ratio only upon the
occurrence of certain events including if our common shares trade above certain
levels, if we effect extraordinary transactions or if our long-term debt ratings
are downgraded at least three notches from their current level to Baa3 or lower
by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services. These events would not, however, result in an adjustment of the number
of shares issuable upon conversion. Holders of the notes due 2032 have the right
to put the notes back to us for, at our election, cash, stock or a combination
of both, in July of each year beginning in July 2003 and we have the right to
redeem the notes for cash beginning in 2007. There are no events that accelerate
the noteholders' put rights. Beginning in August 2007, if the market price of
our common shares exceeds certain thresholds, we may be required to pay
contingent cash interest on the notes equal to the amount of dividends that
would be paid on the common shares into which the notes are contingently
convertible.
On December 31, 2001, we redeemed our 2 1/4% Convertibled Subordinate
Debentures, which had a scheduled maturity in 2013. The debentures were
convertible into 4.6 million common shares. Prior to redemption, substantially
all of the bondholders exercised their conversion rights. These debentures were
issued in 1998.
We believe that our operating cash flow combined with our available lines
of credit and our access to the capital markets are sufficient to support our
foreseeable cash requirements, including working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions and dividends.
Additional information about our indebtedness is included in notes 3 and 4
of our consolidated financial statements at pages F-10 to F-12 of this report.

Contractual and Commercial Obligations: We enter into numerous contractual
and commercial undertakings in the normal course of our business. The following
table summarizes information about certain of our obligations as of December 31,
2001. The table should be read together with note 3 (bank loans and lines of
credit), note 4 (long-term debt and convertible debentures), note 10

instruments) and note 12 (financial instruments and market risk) to our

In the normal course of business, our agencies enter into various media
commitments on behalf of our clients. These commitments are included in our
accounts payable balance when the media services are delivered by the providers.
Historically, we have not experienced significant losses for media commitments
entered into on behalf of our clients and we believe that we do not have any
substantial exposure to potential losses of this nature in the future.
In addition, we have various commitments related to acquisitions completed
in the current and prior years that may require additional future purchase price
payments that would result in additional intangible assets on our balance sheet.
These payments are contingent upon the businesses achieving minimum
predetermined performance goals. Formulas for these contingent future payments
vary from acquisition to acquisition. These commitments are not reflected on the
balance sheet because they are highly contingent upon future events. The
payments made in 2001, 2000 and 1999 for acquisitions completed in prior years
were $156.8 million, $183.9 million and $137.0 million, respectively.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
Omnicom Group Inc. management is responsible for the integrity of the
financial data reported by Omnicom. Management uses its best judgement to ensure
that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
Omnicom's consolidated financial position and results of operations. These
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
Omnicom's system of internal controls, augmented by a program of internal
audits, is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded
and records are maintained to substantiate the preparation of financial
information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. Underlying this concept of reasonable assurance is the premise
that the cost of controls should not exceed the benefits derived therefrom.
The financial statements have been audited by independent public
accountants. Their report expresses the independent accountant's judgement as to
the fairness of management's reported operating results, cash flows and
financial position. This judgement is based on the procedures described in the
second paragraph of their report.
Omnicom's Audit Committee meets periodically with representatives of
financial management, internal audit and the independent public accountants to
assure that each group believes they are properly discharging their
responsibilities. To aid in ensuring independence, the Audit Committee
communicates directly and separately with the independent public accountants,
internal audit and financial management to discuss the results of their audits,
the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the quality of financial
reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Omnicom Group Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Omnicom
Group Inc. (a New York corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and
2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2001. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Omnicom Group Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule on page S-1 is presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is
not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, fairly states, in all material respects, the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

the earnings process, including when services are rendered, upon presentation
date for media, when costs are incurred for radio and television production and
when print production is completed and collection is reasonably assured.
A small portion of our contractual arrangements with clients includes
performance incentive provisions which allow us to earn additional revenues as a
result of our performance relative to both quantitative and qualitative goals.
The Company recognizes the incentive portion of revenue under these arrangements
when specific quantitative goals are achieved, or when performance against
qualitative goals is determined by the Company's clients.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, in December
1999. The SAB summarizes certain of the SEC staff's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SAB 101.
Billable Production. Billable production orders in process consist
principally of costs incurred on behalf of clients when providing corporate
communications services to clients. Such amounts are generally invoiced to
clients at various times over the course of the production process.
Investments Available for Sale. Investments available for sale are
comprised of the following two categories of investments.
Short-term investments and time deposits with financial institutions, which
consist principally of investments with original maturity dates between three
months and one year and are therefore classified as current assets.
Long-term investments are included in other assets in the Company's balance
sheet and are comprised of minority ownership interests in certain publicly
traded marketing and corporate communications services companies where the
Company does not exercise significant influence over the operating and financial
policies of the investee. The Company accounts for these investments under the
cost method. The book value of these investments is adjusted to market value
with any unrealized gains or losses recorded to comprehensive income. The
Company periodically evaluates these investments to determine if there have been
any non-temporary declines in value. A variety of factors are considered when
determining if a decline in market value below book value is non-temporary,
including, among others, the financial condition and prospects of the investee,
as well as the Company's investment intent.
Cost-Based Investments. Cost-based long-term investments are primarily
comprised of preferred equity interests in non-public marketing and corporate
communications services companies where the Company does not exercise
significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee.
These minority interests are accounted for under the cost method and are
included in the Company's other assets account. These investments are
periodically evaluated to determine if there have been any non-temporary
declines below book value. A variety of factors are considered when determining
if a decline in fair value below book value is non-temporary, including, among
others, the financial condition and prospects of the investee, as well as the
Company's investment intent.
Common Stock. During 2000, the par value of common stock was decreased from
$.50 to $.15 per share and the number of authorized common shares was increased
from 300 million shares to 1 billion shares.

Treasury Stock. The Company accounts for treasury share purchases at cost.
The reissuance of treasury shares is accounted for at the average cost. Gains or
losses on the reissuance of treasury shares are accounted for as additional
paid-in capital and do not affect reported results of operations.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Company's financial statements were
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation."
Substantially all of the Company's foreign subsidiaries use their local currency
as their functional currency in accordance with SFAS 52. Accordingly, the
currency impacts of the translation of the balance sheets of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollar statements are included as translation
adjustments in other accumulated comprehensive income. The income statements of
foreign subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Net
foreign currency transaction gains included in net income were $1.1 million in
2001, $1.7 million in 2000 and $9.9 million in 1999.
Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per share is based upon the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted
earnings per share is based on the above, plus, if dilutive, common share
equivalents which include outstanding options and restricted shares and
adjustments for the assumed conversion of the Company's 2 1/4% and 4 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures. For purposes of computing diluted earnings
per share for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
2,821,850, 2,688,589 and 3,046,904 shares were assumed to have been outstanding
related to common share equivalents and 4,599,909, 11,468,018 and 11,551,936
shares in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively were assumed to have been converted
related to the Company's convertible subordinated debentures. Additionally, the
assumed increase in net income related to the after tax interest cost of
convertible debentures and the after tax compensation expense related to
dividends on restricted shares used in the computations was $9,728,117,
$17,939,255 and $17,968,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The number of shares used in the computations were as
follows:
2001 2000 1999
----------- ----------- -----------
Basic EPS computation............ 182,867,900 174,881,000 175,285,900
Diluted EPS computation.......... 190,289,700 189,037,600 189,884,800
The Company's 2 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were converted in
the fourth quarter of 2001 and its 4 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
were converted in the fourth quarter of 2000 (see Note 4).
Gains and Losses on Issuance of Stock in Affiliates and Subsidiaries.
Gains and losses on the issuance of stock in equity method affiliates and
consolidated subsidiaries are recognized directly in the Company's shareholders'
equity through an increase or decrease to additional paid-in capital in the
period in which the sale occurs and do not affect reported results of
operations.
Severance Agreements. Arrangements with certain present and former
employees provide for continuing payments for periods up to 10 years after
cessation of their full-time employment in consideration for agreements by the
employee not to compete with the Company and to render consulting services
during the post-employment period. Such payments, the amounts of which are also
subject to certain limitations, including the Company's operating performance
during the post-employment period, are expensed in such periods.
Depreciation of Furniture and Equipment and Amortization of Leasehold
Improvements. Depreciation charges are computed on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of furniture and equipment, up to 10 years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the terms
of the related lease or the useful life of these assets.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles. The intangible values associated with the
Company's business consist predominantly of the value of the Company's agency
brands and worldwide networks and the value of the Company's client
relationships, know-how, reputation and experience. Intangibles are amortized on
a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed 40 years. The intangibles are
written down if, and to the extent, they are determined to be impaired.
Intangibles are considered to be impaired if the future anticipated undiscounted
cash flows arising from the use of the intangibles is less than the net
unamortized cost of the intangibles. The Company's worldwide agency networks
have been operating for an average of over 60 years. Relationships with
F-8
OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
significant clients in the corporate communications services industry are
typically long-term in nature and the Company's largest clients have on average
been clients for more than 30 years. The Company makes acquisitions consistent
with its strategy of building its various agency brands through the extension of
their service capabilities and geographic reach. The intangibles that result
from these acquisitions represent acquisition costs in excess of the fair value
of tangible net assets acquired and consist primarily of the know-how,
reputation, experience and the geographic coverage of the purchased businesses.
In accordance with SFAS 142 -- Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (see Note
13), goodwill acquired resulting from a business combination for which the
acquisition date was after June 30, 2001 is no longer amortized. Additionally,
certain intangible assets are required to be valued and amortized over their
estimated useful lives. Beginning in 2002, goodwill and other intangible assets
with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but are to be periodically
tested for impairment in accordance with SFAS 142 (see Note 13).
Deferred Taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary
difference between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Company's
assets and liabilities. Deferred tax benefits result principally from recording
certain expenses in the financial statements which are not currently deductible
for tax purposes and from differences between the tax and book basis of assets
and liabilities recorded in connection with acquisitions. Deferred tax
liabilities result principally from deductions recorded for tax purposes, in
excess of that recorded in the financial statements and non-cash, unrealized
financial statement gains associated with investments and capital transactions
including initial public offerings of common stock by affiliates.
Cash Flows. The Company's cash equivalents are primarily comprised of
investments in overnight interest-bearing deposits, commercial paper and money
market instruments with original maturity dates of three months or less.
The following supplemental schedule summarizes the fair value of non-cash
assets acquired, cash paid, common shares issued, which are valued at the then
market value of the shares, and the liabilities assumed in connection with the
acquisition of equity interests in subsidiaries and affiliates, for each of the
years specified below:
(Dollars in Thousands)
2001 2000 1999

---------- ---------- ----------
Liabilities assumed...................... $ 381,651 $ 310,668 $ 358,059
========== ========== ==========
Concentration of Credit Risk. The Company provides marketing and corporate
communications services to over 5,000 clients who operate in nearly every
industry sector and in more than 100 countries. The Company grants credit to
qualified clients in the ordinary course of business. Due to the diversified
nature of the Company's client base, the Company does not believe that we are
exposed to a concentration of credit risk.
Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company adopted Statement Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities", on January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through the
consolidated statement of income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the
nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be
offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or
firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the
change in fair value of a derivative used as a hedge is required to be
immediately recognized in the statement of income.
The Company's derivative financial instruments consist principally of
forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate and cross-currency swaps.
For derivative financial instruments to qualify for hedge accounting
F-9
OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
the following criteria must be met: (1) the hedging instrument must be
designated as a hedge; (2) the hedged exposure must be specifically identifiable
and expose the Company to risk; and (3) it must be highly probable that a change
in fair value of the derivative financial instrument and an opposite change in
the fair value of the hedged exposure will have a high degree of correlation.
The majority of the Company's derivative activity relates to forward
foreign economic exchange contracts. The Company executes these contracts in the
same currency as the hedged exposure, whereby 100% correlation is achieved based
on spot rates. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments which are
hedges of foreign currency assets or liabilities are recorded at market value
and changes in market value are recognized in the statement of income in the
current period. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments which are
hedges of net investments, are recorded to accumulated comprehensive income as
translation adjustments to the extent of change in the spot exchange rate. The
remaining difference is recorded in the statement of income in the current
period. Derivative financial instruments which do not qualify as hedges are
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability and are revalued
to the current market rate and any gains or losses are recorded in the statement
of income in the current period.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the 2001 presentation.
2. Acquisitions
During 2001, the Company made 39 acquisitions whose aggregate cost, in cash
or by issuance of the Company's common stock and the assumption of net
liabilities, totaled $844.7 million, including intangible assets of $839.1
million. Valuations of these companies were based on a number of factors,
including geographic coverage, service offerings, competitive position and
reputation.
Most of our acquisitions have been relatively small transactions made
consistent with our strategy of building our various agency brands through the
extension of their service capabilities and geographic reach. The intangibles
that result from these acquisitions principally result from the purchased
companies know-how, reputation, experience and geographic coverage. These
intangibles have been amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to
exceed 40 years.
Certain acquisitions completed in 2001 and prior years require payments in
future years contingent upon the future performance of the acquired businesses
and their ability to achieve certain predetermined goals. Formulas for these
contingent future payments vary from acquisition to acquisition. Included in the
aggregate cost of $844.7 million are payments of $156.8 million made in 2001
related to acquisitions completed in prior years.
3. Bank Loans and Lines of Credit
Bank loans of $169.1 million and $72.8 million at December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively, are primarily comprised of the bank overdrafts of our
international subsidiaries, which are treated as unsecured loans pursuant to our
bank agreements. The weighted average interest rate on the borrowings
outstanding as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 was 4.6% and 6.1%, respectively.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had committed lines of credit
aggregating $1,832.8 million and $1,871.7 million, respectively. The unused
portion of these credit lines was $1,394.1 million and $967.4 million at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The lines of credit, including the
credit facilities discussed below, are generally extended to us on terms that
the banks grant to their most creditworthy borrowers.
F-10
OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In the second quarter 2001, the Company extended its 364-day, $1 billion
revolving credit facility (the "$1 billion credit facility"). The facility,
which primarily supports the issuance of commercial paper, was renewed under
substantially the same terms as had previously been in effect, including a
provision which allows the Company to convert all amounts outstanding at the
expiration on April 25, 2002 into a one-year term loan.
The Company had $269.6 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding
supported by the $1 billion facility with interest rates ranging from 2.2% to
2.7% as of December 31, 2001, with various maturity dates through January 30,
2002. Commercial paper is included in long-term debt in the consolidated balance
sheet, as it is the Company's intention to refinance these borrowings on a
long-term basis through continued commercial paper borrowings supported by the
available bank facilities (see note 4) or other long-term financing.
On February 20, 1998, the Company established a $500 million revolving
credit agreement (the "$500 million credit facility"), expiring on June 30,
2003. There were no borrowings under this credit facility at December 31, 2001
and 2000.
The gross amount of commercial paper issued and redeemed under the
Company's commercial paper programs during 2001 was $45.3 billion and $45.9
billion, respectively, and during 2000 $13.4 billion was issued and $12.5
billion was redeemed.
The credit facilities contain financial covenants limiting the ratio of
total consolidated indebtedness to total consolidated capitalization, the ratio
of debt to cash flow and investments in and loans to affiliates and
unconsolidated subsidiaries. At December 31, 2001, the Company was in compliance
with these covenants.
4. Long-Term Debt and Convertible Debentures
Long-term debt and convertible debentures outstanding as of December 31,
2001 and 2000 consisted of the following:

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred
gross interest expense on its borrowings of $90.9 million, $116.7 million and
$84.9 million, respectively.
Commercial paper is issued under the Company's credit facilities described
in Note 3.
On June 24, 1998, the Company issued French Franc 1 billion of 5.2% notes.
The notes are unsecured, obligations of the Company. Unless previously redeemed,
or purchased and cancelled, the notes mature on June 24, 2005.
In March 1998, the Company issued $178.6 million aggregate principal amount
unsecured floating rate loan notes. A substantial portion of these notes were
redeemed by the Company during 2000. The remaining balance was repaid in 2001.
F-11
OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of zero-coupon notes due 2031
were issued by the Company in February 2001. These notes are senior, unsecured
zero-coupon securities that are convertible into 7.7 million common shares,
implying a conversion price of $110.01 per common share, subject to normal
anti-dilution adjustments. These notes are convertible at the specified ratio
only upon the occurrence of certain events, including if the Company's common
shares trade above certain levels, if the Company effects extraordinary
transactions or if the Company's long-term debt ratings are downgraded by least
three notches from their current level to Baa3 or lower by Moody's Investors
Services, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. These
events would not, however, result in an adjustment of the number of shares
issuable upon conversion. Holders of the notes due 2031 have the right to put
the notes back to the Company for, at the Company's election, cash, stock or a
combination of both, in February of each year and the Company has the right to
redeem the notes for cash beginning in 2006. There are no events that accelerate
the noteholders' put rights. Beginning in February 2006, if the market price of
the Company's common shares exceeds certain thresholds, the Company may be
required to pay contingent cash interest on the notes equal to the amount of
dividends that would be paid on the common shares into which the notes are
contingently convertible.
On January 6, 1998, the Company issued $230.0 million of 2 1/4% convertible
subordinated debentures with a scheduled maturity in 2013. The debentures were
redeemed by the Company on December 31, 2001 upon the issuance of 4.6 million
common shares.
On January 3, 1997, the Company issued $218.5 million of 4 1/4% convertible
subordinated debentures with a scheduled maturity in 2007. The debentures were
redeemed on December 29, 2000 upon the issuance of 6.9 million common shares.
Aggregate stated maturities of long-term debt and convertible debentures
are as follows:

5. Segment Reporting
The Company's wholly and partially owned businesses operate within the
marketing and corporate communications services operating segment. These
businesses provide communications services to clients on a global, pan-regional
and national basis. The businesses have similar cost structures, and are subject
to the same general economic and competitive risks. A summary of the Company's
revenue and long-lived assets by geographic area for the years then ended, and
as of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 is presented below:

6. Equity and Cost Based Investments
Equity Investments. The Company has 111 unconsolidated affiliates accounted
for under the equity method. The affiliates offer marketing and corporate
communications services similar to those offered by the Company. The equity
method is used when the Company has an ownership of less than 50% but exercises
significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the
affiliate. The following table summarizes the balance sheets and income
statements of the Company's unconsolidated affiliates, as of December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999 and for the years then ended:
(Dollars in Thousands)

Costs and expenses........................ 316,132 740,267 467,745
Net income................................ 43,773 45,076 23,662
The Company's equity interest in the net income of these affiliates was
$12.7 million, $10.9 million and $15.4 million for 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The Company's equity interest in the net assets of these
affiliated companies was $116.8 million, $205.2 million and $174.0 million at
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition, the Company's total
investment in affiliates includes the excess of acquisition costs over the fair
value of tangible net assets acquired. These excess acquisition costs are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed 40 years.
In 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company disposed of shares held in certain
affiliates. The resulting impact of these disposals was not material to the
Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Cost Based Investments. The Company's cost based investments at December
31, 2001 were primarily comprised of preferred stock interests representing
equity interests of less than 20% in various marketing and corporate
communications services companies. This method is used when the Company owns
less than a 20% equity interest and does not exercise significant influence over
the operating and financial policies of the investee.
The total cost basis of these investments, which are included in other
assets on the Company's balance sheet, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 was
$318.8 million and $238.5 million, respectively. The following is a summary of
significant transactions involving cost based investments in the past three
years.
2001. In May 2001, the Company received a non-voting non-participating
preferred stock interest in a newly formed company, Seneca Investments LLC, in
exchange for its contribution of Communicade, the Company's subsidiary that
conducted its e-services industry investment activities. The common shareholder
of Seneca, who owns all the common stock, is an established private equity
investment firm. Upon formation, no debt was assumed by Seneca and no
distributions were made to shareholders. The Company has no commitment
obligating it to advance funds or provide other capital to Seneca. The preferred
stock is nonvoting (except on certain extraordinary events) and is entitled to
preferential dividends at a rate of 8.5% compounded semiannually and is
redeemable on the 10th anniversary of issuance or earlier upon the occurrence of
certain extraordinary events. Unpaid dividends accrue on a cumulative basis. No
dividends were paid by Seneca or accrued by the Company in 2001. Seneca had no
outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2001.
The transaction was accounted for in accordance with SFAS 140, Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,
and resulted in no gain or loss being recognized by the Company on Seneca's
formation. Management believes that the carrying value of its preferred
investment in Seneca of $280 million at December 31, 2001 approximated its fair
value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
2000. In 2000, the Company sold a portion of its ownership interest in
Razorfish Inc., which was recorded under the cost method of accounting and
included in other assets at December 31, 2000 and 1999. As a result of the sale,
the Company realized a pre-tax gain of $110.0 million. Included in consolidated
net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 is $63.8 million ($0.33 per
diluted share) related to this transaction and comprehensive income was adjusted
to reflect the reclassification of the gain from unrealized to realized. The
remaining shares were owned by Communicade at the time of Seneca's formation.
During 2000, certain companies in which the Company had investments
completed initial public offerings. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the
carrying value of its equity holdings to reflect the market value and recorded
an unrealized gain to comprehensive income. During the balance of the year, the
market value of these companies declined thereby reducing the total value of the
Company's cost based investments and accumulated comprehensive income. At
December 31, 2000, the aggregate market value of these investments was below
their aggregate original cost. Based on management's consideration of the
factors described in Footnote 1, Investments Available for Sale, it was
determined there had not been a non-temporary decline in the fair value of these
investments below their book value. Accordingly, no adjustment to the December
31, 2000 book value was recorded.
1999. Razorfish completed an initial public offering in April 1999. The
Company owned 32.4% of Razorfish's equity immediately following their initial
public offering and accounted for this investment under the equity method.
Consistent with the Company's accounting policy and based on its offering price
of $16 per share, an after-tax gain of $5.1 million was recognized by the
Company in shareholders' equity as a direct increase to additional paid-in
capital. During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company's ownership interest in
Razorfish was diluted below 20%. Given that the Company no longer exercised
significant influence and as a result of the dilution of its ownership below
20%, the Company discontinued accounting for its investment under the equity
method.
In 1999, the Company owned 36% of Agency.com and accounted for its
investment under the equity method. In December 1999, Agency.com completed an
initial public offering. Based on its offering price of $26 per share, an after
tax gain of $17.6 million was recognized by the Company in shareholders' equity
as a direct increase to additional paid-in capital. The Agency.com shares were
owned by Communicade at the time of Seneca's formation.
7. Employee Stock Plans
The Company's current incentive compensation plan was adopted in 1998 (the
"1998 Plan") and amended in 2000. Under the Plan, 8,250,000 shares of common
stock of the Company were reserved for options and other awards, of which up to
2,250,000 were for restricted stock awards. As of December 31, 2001, 3,929,849
were available for future grants, of which 1,592,349 were available for
restricted stock awards. Pursuant to the plan, the exercise price of options
awarded may not be less than 100% of the market price of the stock at the date
of grant. Options become exercisable 30% on each of the first two anniversary
dates of the grant date with the final 40% becoming exercisable three years from
the grant date.
Under the terms of the Company's long-term shareholder value plan,
9,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for stock option awards to key
employees of the Company at an exercise price that is no less than 100% of the
market price of the stock at the date of the grant. The options can become
exercisable after the sixth anniversary date of grant. The shares can become
exercisable prior to this anniversary date in increments of one-third if the
market value for the Company's common stock increases compared to the market
price on the date of grant by at least 50%, 75% and 100%, respectively. At
December 31, 2001, options for 3,267,275 million shares were available for
future grants.

Pro Forma. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation", the Company intends to continue to apply the accounting
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
and to make annual pro forma disclosures of the effect of adopting the fair
value method of accounting for employee stock options and similar instruments.
The weighted average fair value, calculated on the basis summarized below,
of each option granted was as follows; 2001: $21.45, 2000: $24.85 and 1999:
$20.91. The fair value of each option grant has been determined as of the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and with the following
assumptions (without adjusting for the risk of forfeiture and lack of
liquidity):
2001 2000 1999

Using compensation cost for grants of the Company's stock options and
shares issued under the employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP"), determined based
on the fair value at the grant or issuance date in 2001, 2000 and 1999,
consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the effect on the Company's net
income and net income per share would have been as follows:

Restricted Shares. Changes in outstanding shares of restricted stock for
the three years ended December 31, 2001 were as follows:
2001 2000 1999
--------- --------- ---------
Restricted shares at beginning of year 2,493,505 2,602,281 2,703,612

--------- --------- ---------
Restricted shares at end of year ..... 2,227,022 2,493,505 2,602,281
========= ========= =========
All restricted shares were sold at a price per share equal to their par
value. The difference between par value and market value on the date of the
grant is charged to shareholders' equity and then amortized to expense over the
period of restriction. The restricted shares vest in 20% annual increments
provided the employee remains in the employ of the Company.
Restricted shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise
encumbered until the restrictions lapse. Under most circumstances, the employee
must resell the shares to the Company at par value if the employee ceases
employment prior to the end of the period of restriction.
The charge to operations in connection with these restricted stock awards
for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 amounted to $47.1 million,
$39.1 million and $27.8 million, respectively.
ESPP. The Company has an employee stock purchase plan that enables
employees to purchase the Company's common stock through payroll deductions over
each plan quarter at 85% of the market price on the last trading day of the plan
quarter. Purchases are limited to 10% of eligible compensation as defined by the
plan. During 2001, 2000 and 1999 employees purchased 323,269, 311,171 and 63,408
shares, respectively, all of which were treasury shares, for which $23.7
million, $22.3 million and $4.8 million respectively, was paid to the Company.
For this plan, 2,302,152 shares remain reserved at December 31, 2001.

was 40.3%.
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary difference between
the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Company's assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax assets result principally from recording certain
expenses in the financial statements which are not currently deductible for tax
purposes and from differences between the tax and book basis of assets and
liabilities recorded in connection with acquisitions. Deferred tax liabilities
result principally from non-cash, unrealized financial statement gains
associated with investments and capital transactions, including initial public
offerings of common stock by affiliates, and expenses which are currently
deductible for tax purposes, but have not yet been expensed in the financial
statements.

Current deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $54.1
million and $46.4 million, respectively, and were included in prepaid expenses
and other current assets. Non-current deferred tax assets as of December 31,
2001 and 2000 were $100.4 million and $98.4 million, respectively. The Company
has concluded that it is probable that it will be able to realize these deferred
tax assets in future periods.
A provision has been made for additional income and withholding taxes on
the earnings of international subsidiaries and affiliates that will be
distributed.
9. Employee Retirement Plans
The Company's international and domestic subsidiaries provide retirement
benefits for their employees primarily through defined contribution plans.
Company contributions to the plans, which are determined by the boards of
directors of the subsidiaries, have generally been in amounts up to 15% (the
maximum amount deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of total
eligible compensation of participating employees. Expenses related to the
Company's contributions to these plans in 2001 were $69.2 million, in 2000 were
$82.0 million and in 1999 were $77.2 million.
The Company's pension plans are primarily related to non-U.S. businesses.
These plans are not subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. Substantially all of these plans are funded by fixed premium payments to
insurance companies which undertake to provide specific benefits to the
individuals covered. Pension expense recorded for these plans in 2001 was $14.9
million, in 2000 was $11.1 million and in 1999 was $8.5 million.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company have executive retirement programs
under which benefits will be paid to participants or to their beneficiaries over
15 years beginning at age 65 or death. In addition, other subsidiaries have
individual deferred compensation arrangements with certain executives which
provide for payments over varying terms upon retirement, cessation of employment
or death. Some of the Company's domestic subsidiaries provide life insurance and
medical benefits for retired employees. Eligibility requirements vary by
subsidiary, but generally include attainment of a specified combined age plus a
years of service factor. The costs related to these benefits were not material
to the 2001, 2000, and 1999 consolidated results of operations or financial
position. The Company's obligation with respect to these programs is included in
deferred compensation and other liabilities on the balance sheet.
10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
At December 31, 2001, the Company was committed under operating leases,
principally for office space in many of the major cities around the world.
Certain leases are subject to rent reviews with various escalation

subject to escalation clauses. Rent expense for the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999 was reported as follows:

2006 ....................... 198,972 (7,560) 191,412
Thereafter ................. 996,689 (8,463) 988,226
The present value of the gross future minimum base rents under
noncancellable operating leases is $1,527 million. Where appropriate, management
has established liabilities for the difference between the cost of leased
premises that were vacated and anticipated sublease income.
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to
the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not presently expect that
these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the
Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Amounts in

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 which consist primarily of short-term investments
and investments in short-term interest bearing instruments with original
maturity dates between three months and one year are carried at cost which
approximates fair value.
F-19
OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Other investments:
Other investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The
Company's investment in Seneca represents $280.0 million of the balance at
December 31, 2001. Refer to note 6 for additional information about this
investment.
Long-term debt and convertible debentures:
A portion of the Company's long-term debt includes floating rate debt, the
carrying value of which approximates fair value. The Company's long-term debt
also includes convertible debentures and fixed rate senior debt. The fair value
of these instruments was determined by reference to quotations available in
markets where these issues were traded.
Financial commitments:
The estimated fair values of derivative positions are based upon
quotations received from independent, third party banks and represent the net
amount required to terminate the positions, taking into consideration market
rates and counterparty credit risk. The fair values of guarantees and letters of
credit are based upon the face value of the underlying instruments.
12. Financial Instruments and Market Risk
The Company adopted Statement Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," on January
1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring
that derivative instruments which meet the SFAS 133 definition of a derivative
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through
earnings. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge,
changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the
change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments
through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair
value of a derivative used as a hedge is required to be immediately recognized
in the Company's statement of income.
In the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a $2.9 million after
tax charge in earnings ($4.9 million pre-tax) for the cumulative effect of
adopting SFAS No. 133. The charge resulted from the Company's accounting for a
hedge of its net Yen investments. The Company utilized cross currency interest
rate swap contracts to hedge its net Yen investments. Consistent with the
Company's policy with respect to derivative instruments and hedging activities
and in accordance with SFAS No. 133, the Company designated the change in Yen
spot rates as the hedged risk in its net Yen investments. Since the contract was
a hedge of the Yen net investments, the change in the fair value of the contract
attributable to changes in spot rates, which was the effective portion of the
hedge, was recorded as an offset in the cumulative translation account, the same
account in which translation gains and losses on the net Yen investment are
recorded. All other changes in the fair value of the contract were recorded
currently in operating income or expense as ineffectiveness. During the first
quarter of 2001, the Company replaced the contract with a floating rate cross
currency swap contract. As a result, minimal ineffectiveness will result for the
remaining term.
The Company's derivative activities are limited in volume and confined to
risk management activities related to our international operations. The Company
has established a centralized reporting system to evaluate the effects of
changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and other relevant market
risks. The Company periodically determines the potential loss from market risk
by performing a value-at-risk computation. Value-at-risk analysis is a
statistical model that utilizes historic currency exchange and interest rate
data to measure the potential impact on future earnings of the Company's
existing portfolio of derivative financial instruments. The value-at-risk
analysis the Company performed on the Company's December 31, 2001 portfolio of
derivative financial instruments indicated that the risk of loss was immaterial.
Counterparty risk arises from the inability of
F-20
OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
a counterparty to meet its obligations. To mitigate counterparty risk, the
Company enters into derivative contracts with major well-known banks and
financial institutions that have credit ratings at least equal to that of the
Company. This system is designed to enable the Company to initiate remedial
action, if appropriate.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had Japanese Yen 16,300 million
aggregate notional principal amount of cross currency interest rate swaps with
maturities of up to five years. The swaps effectively hedge the Company's net
investment in Japanese Yen denominated assets.
The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts primarily to
hedge intercompany cash movements between subsidiaries operating in different
currency markets. Changes in market value of the forward contracts are included
in the income statement and are offset by the corresponding change in value of
the underlying asset or liability being hedged. The terms of these contracts are
generally ninety days or less. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the aggregate
amount of intercompany receivables and payables subject to this hedge program
was $387 million and $254 million, respectively. The table below summarizes by
major currency the notional principal amounts of the Company's forward foreign
exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The "buy" amounts
represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase the respective
currency, and the "sell" amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of
commitments to sell the respective currency. Refer to note 11 for a discussion
of the value of these instruments.

The derivative financial instrument existing during the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000 were entered into for the purpose of hedging certain
specific currency risks. As a result of these financial instruments, the Company
reduced financial risk in exchange for foregoing any gain (reward) which might
have occurred if the markets moved favorably. In using derivative financial
instruments, management exchanged the risks of the financial markets for
counterparty risk. To minimize counterparty risk the Company only enters into
derivative contracts with major well-known banks and financial institutions that
have credit ratings equal to or better than the Company's credit rating.
13. New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS
141), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). The FASB also issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS
143), in June 2001, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), in
August 2001.
SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001
be accounted for under the purchase method. SFAS 141 superseded Accounting
Pronouncement Bulletin ("APB") Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 38, Accounting for

OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises, and is effective for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Given that all of the
Company's acquisitions in 2000 and 2001 were accounted for under the purchase
method, the adoption of SFAS 141 on July 1, 2001 and the cessation of goodwill
amortization on post July 1, 2001 acquisitions as required by SFAS 142, as
discussed below, was not material to the Company's 2001 results of operations
and financial position.
SFAS 142 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for acquired
goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS 142 supersedes APB Opinion No. 17,
Intangible Assets. Effective January 1, 2002 companies are no longer required to
amortize goodwill and other intangibles that have indefinite lives, but these
assets will be subject to periodic testing for impairment. Additionally,
goodwill acquired in a business combination for which the acquisition date was
after June 1, 2001 is no longer required to be amortized. The Company will adopt
SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the
effect that such adoption may have on our future consolidated results of
operations and financial position. The Company expects to complete the required
impairment testing by the end of the second quarter of 2002. However, at this
time the Company does not expect that the results of the impairment testing will
be material to the Company's 2002 results of operations and financial position.
SFAS 143 establishes accounting standards for the recognition and
measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its associated asset
retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance for legal obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS 143 is
effective in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with early adoption
permitted. Consistent with the requirements, the Company plans to adopt SFAS 143
effective January 1, 2003. The impact of SFAS 143 on the Company's financial
statements will depend on a variety of factors, including interpretative
guidance from the FASB. However, the Company does not expect that the adoption
will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations
and financial position.
SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. SFAS 144
superseded Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of
and APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. The provisions of SFAS 144 are
effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with early adoption
permitted and, in general, are to be applied prospectively. Consistent with the
requirements of SFAS 144, the Company intends to adopt SFAS 144 effective
January 1, 2002. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and
financial position.
14. Subsequent Events
In March 2002, the Company issued $900.0 million aggregate principal
amount of zero-coupon notes due 2032. The notes are senior, unsecured
zero-coupon securities that are convertible into 8.2 million common shares,
implying a conversion price of $110.01 per common share, subject to normal
anti-dilution adjustments. These notes are convertible at the specified ratio
only upon the occurrence of certain events including if the Company's common
shares trade above certain levels, if the Company effects extraordinary
transactions or if the Company's long-term debt ratings are downgraded at least
three notches from their current level to Baa3 or lower by Moody's Investors
Services, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. These
events would not, however, result in an adjustment of the number of shares
issuable upon conversion. Holders of the notes due 2032 have the right to put
the notes back to the Company for, at the Company's election, cash, stock or a
combination of both, in July of each year beginning in July 2003 and the Company
has the right to redeem the notes for cash beginning in 2007. There are no
events that accelerate the noteholders' put rights. Beginning in August 2007, if
the market price of the Company's common shares exceeds certain thresholds, the
Company may be required to pay contingent cash interest on the notes equal to
the amount of dividends that would be paid on the common shares into which the
notes are contingently convertible.
The net proceeds of the issuance of these notes were $905.0 million. The
Company used $280.6 million of these proceeds to repurchase 3.0 million of the
Company's common shares. The balance of the net proceeds were initially applied
by the Company to reduce short-term borrowings pending use for working capital
and other general corporate purposes.
