In addition, from time to time, the Company or its representatives have made, or may make, forward - looking statements, orally or in writing. These stateme nts may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of the Company’s managem ent as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Forward - looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or similar words, phrases or expressions. The se forward - looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the Company’s control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that c oul d cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward - looking statements include: international, national or local economic conditions that could adversely affect the Company or i ts clients; losses on media purchases and production costs incurred on behalf of clients; reductions in client spending, a slowdown in client payments and a deterioration in the credit markets; ability t o a ttract new clients and retain existing clients in the manner anticipated; changes in client advertising, marketing and corporate communications requirements; failure to manage potential conflicts of interest be tween or among clients; unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in the advertising, marketing and corporate communications industries; ability to hire and retain key personnel; curr enc y exchange rate fluctuations; reliance on information technology systems; changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting the Company or its clients; risks associated with assumptions th e C ompany makes in connection with its critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; and the Company’s international operations, which are subject to the risks of currency repatriation restri cti ons, social or political conditions and regulatory environment. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties tha t may affect the Company’s business, including those described in the “Risk Factors” in Omnicom’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Except as required under applicable law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update these forward - looking statements. Non - GAAP Financial Measures We present financial measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“G AAP ”) and adjustments to the GAAP presentation (“Non - GAAP”), which we believe are meaningful for understanding our performance. Non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation f rom, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP. Non - GAAP financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported b y other companies. We provide a reconciliation of non - GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures on pages 22 and 23. The Non - GAAP measures used in this presentation include the following: Free Cash Flow, defined as net income plus depreciation, amortization, share based compensation expense plus/(less) other non - cash it ems to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities. We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful measure to evaluate our ability to generate excess cash from our operations. Primary Uses of Cash, defined as dividends to common shareholders, dividends paid to non - controlling interest shareholders, capital expe nditures, cash paid on acquisitions, payments for additional interest in controlled subsidiaries and stock repurchases, net of the proceeds and excess tax benefit from our stock plans, a nd excludes changes in operating capital and other investing and financing activities, including commercial paper issuances and redemptions used to fund working capital changes . We believe this measure is useful in identifying the significant uses of our cash. Net Free Cash Flow, defined as Free Cash Flow less the Primary Uses of Cash. Net Free Cash Flow is one of the metrics used by us to assess our sources and uses of cash and was derived from our consolidated statements of cash flows. We believe that this presentation is meaningful for understanding our primary sources and primary uses of that cash flow. EBITDA, defined as operating income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is meaningful be cau se the financial covenants in our credit facilities are based on EBITDA. EBITA, defined as operating income before interest, taxes and amortization. We use EBITA as an additional operating performan ce measure, which excludes the non - cash amortization expense of intangible assets ( primarily consisting of amortization arising from acquisitions ), because we believe it is a useful measure for investors to evaluate the performance of our businesses. Net Debt, defined as total debt less cash, cash equivalents and short - term investments. We believe net debt, together with the c omparable GAAP measures, reflects one of the metrics used by us to assess our cash management. After Tax Reported Operating Income, defined as reported operating income less income taxes calculated using the effective ta x r ate for the applicable period. Management uses after tax operating income as a measure of after tax operating performance as it excludes the after tax effects of financing and investing activi tie s on results of operations.
