In the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Omnicom reported a 1.6% increase in worldwide revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, amounting to $3,690.4 million compared to $3,630.5 million in the prior year period.

Omnicom's recent Agreement and Plan of Merger with The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (IPG) is also a significant development. The shareholders of both Omnicom and IPG approved the Merger on March 18, 2025. If completed, Omnicom expects the Merger to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, and financial condition. In the first quarter of 2025, the company recorded $33.8 million of acquisition-related costs in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The company emphasized that global economic conditions and disruptions, including geopolitical events, international hostilities, acts of terrorism, public health crises, inflation or stagflation, tariffs, and other trade barriers, could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. Omnicom also stated that its revenue is typically lower in the first and third quarters and higher in the second and fourth quarters, reflecting client spending patterns during the year and additional project work that usually occurs in the fourth quarter.
Omnicom's largest client accounted for 2.7% of its revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, and the 100 largest clients represented approximately 53.6% of its revenue.
