2021 Total Revenue Change First Quarter $ % ∆ Prior Period Revenue $ 3,406.9 Foreign exchange rate impact (a) 95.7 2.8 % Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue (b) (15.1) (0.4)% Organic growth (c) (60.6) (1.8)% Current Period Revenue $ 3,426.9 0.6 % (a) Foreign exchange rate impact: calculated by translating the current period’s local currency revenue using the prior period average exchange rates to derive current period constant currency revenue. The foreign exchange rate impact is the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. Dollars and the current period constant currency revenue. (b) Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue: Acquisition revenue is calculated as if the acquisition occurred twelve months prior to the acquisition date by aggregating the comparable prior period revenue of acquisitions through the acquisition date. As a result, acquisition revenue excludes the positive or negative difference between our current period revenue subsequent to the acquisition date and the comparable prior period revenue and the positive or negative growth after the acquisition date is attributed to organic growth. Disposition revenue is calculated as if the disposition occurred twelve months prior to the disposition date by aggregating the comparable prior period revenue of disposals through the disposition date. The acquisition revenue and disposition revenue amounts are netted in the presentation above. (c) Organic growth: calculated by subtracting the foreign exchange rate impact, and the acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue components from total revenue growth. 3 April 20, 2021

Forward - Looking Statements Certain statements in this presentation constitute forward - looking statements, including statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, from time to time, Omnicom Group Inc. ("Omnicom" or the "Company") or its representatives have made, or may make, forward - looking statements, orally or in writing. These statements 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 management 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. These 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 could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward - looking statements include: the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic, international, national or local economic conditions that could adversely affect the Company or its clients; losses on media purchases and production costs incurred on behalf of clients; reductions in client spending, a slowdown in client payments and a deterioration in the credit markets; the ability to attract 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 between or among clients; unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in the advertising, marketing and corporate communications industries; the ability to hire and retain key personnel; currency exchange rate fluctuations; reliance on information technology systems; changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting the Company or its clients; risks associated with assumptions the Company makes in connection with its critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; and the Company’s international operations, which are subject to the risks of currency repatriation restrictions, social or political conditions and regulatory environment. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s business, including those described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report. 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 (“GAAP”) and adjustments to the GAAP presentation (“Non - GAAP”), which we believe are meaningful for understanding our performance. Non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a 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 by other companies. We provide a reconciliation of non - GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures on pages 1 7 and 1 8 . The Non - GAAP measures used in this presentation include the following: Free Cash Flow, defined as net income plus depreciation, amortization, share based compensation expense plus/(less) other items to reconcile to net cash used in operating activities. We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful measure of liquidity to evaluate our ability to generate excess cash from our operations. Primary Uses of Cash, defined as dividends to common shareholders, dividends paid to non - controlling interest shareholders, capital expenditures, cash paid on acquisitions, payments for additional interest in controlled subsidiaries and stock repurchases, net of the proceeds from our stock plans, and 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 liquidity measure is useful in identifying the significant uses of our cash. Net Free Cash Flow, defined as Free Cash Flow less the Primary Uses of Cash. Net Free Cash Flow is one of the metrics used by us to assess our sources and uses of cash and was derived from our consolidated statements of cash flows. We believe that this liquidity measure is meaningful for understanding our primary sources and primary uses of that cash flow. EBITDA, defined as operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets. We believe EBITDA is a meaningful operating performance measure because the financial covenants in our credit facilities are based on EBITDA. EBITA, defined as operating profit before interest, taxes and amortization of intangible assets and EBITA margin, defined as EBITA divided by revenue. We use EBITA and EBITA margin as additional operating performance measures, which excludes the non - cash amortization expense of intangible assets (primarily consisting of amortization arising from acquisitions). Accordingly, we believe it is a useful measure for investors to evaluate the performance of our business. Net Debt, defined as total debt less cash, cash equivalents and short - term investments. We believe net debt, together with the comparable GAAP measures, reflects one of the liquidity metrics used by us to assess our cash management. After Tax Reported Operating Profit, defined as reported operating profit less income taxes calculated using the effective tax rate for the applicable period. Management uses after tax operating profit as a measure of after tax operating performance as it excludes the after tax effects of financing and investing activities on results of operations.
