*The term “billings” is commonly used in the industry to describe the volume of advertising purchased on behalf of clients. In thisreport, billings were computed by multiplying all income from commissions and fees by 6 2/3–the reciprocal of the customary 15percent commission which media commonly grant advertising agencies. Commission rates are not uniform, however, and arenegotiated with clients. In the case of majority-owned subsidiaries, total subsidiary commissions and fees are used. In the caseof minority-owned affiliates, Omnicom’s percent of ownership in total affiliate commissions and fees are used.**“Revenues” include commissions and fees of only subsidiary companies–that is, companies which are greater than 50 percentowned.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

In a year of continuing economic strength, the U.S.advertising industry showed much improved growthin 1994, with your company posting record gains inrevenues, net income and earnings per share.Omnicom worldwide revenues grew by 16% whilenet income before a change in accounting principleincreased by 27% versus the previous year. Fullydiluted earnings per share were up 17%. Ouroutstanding performance for the year led the industryin terms of revenues, earnings and in the acquisitionof new business. The addition of substantial newbillings during 1994, of course, translates into newrevenues in 1995.

We believe that the current worldwide recoveryin advertising should continue for some time. It isbeing fueled by increased expenditures towardbrand building and a generally improved economicenvironment. Under these favorable conditions, weexpect Omnicom to deliver revenue growth, marginimprovement and increases in net income in 1995and beyond.

But the most important factor behind ouroptimistic outlook is the creative power andmanagement strength of our advertising andmarketing services companies around the world.Our agencies are widely acknowledged to be thecreative leaders of the industry, and they areespecially attractive to sophisticated marketers whounderstand that innovative advertising is a significantcompetitive edge in the marketplace. Our companiesare led by managers of great talent and vision whowork closely with the top executives of the world’slargest and most successful companies to helpgenerate sales and build reputations for majorbrands in all categories. Each of our three globalagencies had excellent results in 1994, as did ourDiversified Agency Services division, and ourindependent agencies.

BBDO Worldwide continues to add luster to itssuperb reputation for great creative work andsuccess for its clients’ brands. In 1994, BBDO wasnamed the “Agency of the Year” by both AdvertisingAge and Adweek, the leading U.S. advertisingpublications, as well as “New Products Agency ofthe Year” by the American Marketing Association.At the annual creative competition in Cannes,BBDO won the most Lions for U.S. advertising andtied with DDB Needham for the most televisionawards overall.

In terms of new business, the agency addedRussell Athletic, Sterling Health, Campbell’s

Condensed Soups, three major brands from BestFoods and Ortho in the United States, as well as allmedia responsibilities for General Electric. In Europe,the agency had a particularly strong year, highlightedby the consolidation of $75 million of BritishTelecom advertising at AMV/BBDO—the largestaccount win in U.K. history. Other significant newbusiness wins included Credit Lyonnais, theprivatization of Renault in France and the Renaultadvertising account in Spain, and two large Germanaccounts, Allianz Insurance and CPC Knorr.

In February of 1995, BBDO was once again awinner. In one of the largest account moves inhistory, Mars Incorporated awarded the agency theglobal assignments for M&M’s, Snickers, BountyBar, Cesar Dog Food and Sheba Cat Food. Thisvictory for BBDO is testimony to the agency’scontinuing success in the management of majormultinational brands.

In other key developments, the agencyextended its Eastern European network of agencies,which now operates in nine countries, the mostextensive in the region. BBDO also expandedin the Asia Pacific region, where it acquired asubstantial equity position in a leading Thai agency,which has been renamed Damask/BBDO, andbegan operations in Vietnam. Late in the year,BBDO purchased a minority interest in Israel’slargest advertising and marketing communicationsfirm.

DDB Needham began 1995 with two significantvictories. It was awarded media planningresponsibility for all of Frito-Lay in the U.S. and wasawarded the Sony account for all of Europe.

During the year, the agency expanded itsoperations with the acquisition of Griffin Bacal Inc.,the New York-based advertising agency with officesin New York, London, Toronto, Mexico City, Athensand Frankfurt. Griffin Bacal is well known for itsunique expertise in communicating to children. Itsmajor client, Hasbro, has been a common clientwith DDB Needham.

Our third international network, TBWA, had ayear of substantial growth from present clients andnew business. Also, its reputation for great creativework continued to grow as it won creativecompetitions around the world for its continuallysuperb Absolut work, its campaigns for Nissan andits campaign for Wonderbra, which was namedcampaign of the year in the U.K. TBWA was named“Agency to watch in 1995” by Media and MarketingEurope, in recognition of its creative and newbusiness momentum.

A highly successful new business year includedseveral important Seagram products including TheGlenlivet, worldwide responsibility for Chivas Regaland other brands. The agency also won Nissan infour additional international markets, British Gas inthe U.K. and Wonderbra in the U.S.

The network grew substantially with acquisitionsin the U.K., the Netherlands, South Africa, the CzechRepublic, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Greeceand Mexico. Associates were added in Poland,Hungary, the Middle East and India. The agencyalso expanded its working relationship withHakuhodo, the Tokyo-based international agency,creating the TBWA/H Neth-work in Amsterdam.

In January 1995, TBWA International and Chiat/Day Holdings Inc. reached an agreement in principlewhereby TBWA and Chiat/Day will combineoperations. When completed, the combination ofthese two networks under Omnicom will result ina creative powerhouse with worldwide billings ofmore than $2 billion. In North America, the newoperation will be called TBWA/Chiat Day. Thenetwork will have offices in New York, Los Angeles,St. Louis and Toronto as well as in 32 countriesthroughout Europe, Latin America, Asia, the MiddleEast and South Africa. Bill Tragos, Chairman of

TBWA International, will become Chairman andCEO of the combined operation. Jay Chiat, afounder of Chiat/Day, will become a consultant toOmnicom Group.

Diversified Agency Services (DAS) continuedto make impressive gains in revenue and profit in1994. DAS is now operating in 17 countries serving4,500 clients worldwide in marketing services andspecialty advertising.

During the year, DAS formed a second U.S.healthcare group, Diversified HealthcareCommunications, to function as a managementumbrella for three agencies. DAS also acquired aminority interest in the GMR Group, a managedcare consultancy company.

In addition, DAS acquired Dorritie Lyons &Nickel and merged it with the operations of Lavey/Wolff/Swift, creating a major healthcare com-munications company, Lyons/Lavey/Nickel/Swift.

Rapp Collins Worldwide, a direct marketingnetwork, made two acquisitions, Optima Direct,Inc., specializing in data-driven telemarketingprograms, in Vienna, Virginia, and Shain ColavitoPensabene Direct, Inc., a leading direct responsemedia buying company, in New York.

recruitment advertising industry. Bernard Hodesalso created CareerMosaic™—the first server on theInternet’s World Wide Web for employers andemployment information.

Among our independent agencies, GoodbySilverstein & Partners continues to be among themost honored and respected agencies in the U.S. InMarch 1995, the agency was named the “Agency ofthe Year” by Adweek. During 1994, it excelled inrevenue growth and profit. The agency added $100million in new business billings during the year, anunprecedented record for an agency of its size. Newclients in 1994 included Pacific Bell, DHL, AlaskaAirlines, Haggar, the Good Guys, Pete’s WickedAle, Royal Cruise Lines, Sutter Home Winery andMajor League Baseball. Of all the competitions forclients entered by Goodby Silverstein during theyear, they won all but one.

In 1994, both Jeff Goodby and Rich Silversteinwere picked as National Executives of the Year byAdweek. The agency won the Grand Clio for its Milkcampaign and the Grand Effie for its campaign forthe Partnership for a Drug Free America. A trulyremarkable record for this agency.

By all measures, Omnicom experienced thebest year in its history. But we believe there areeven better times ahead. As our reputation forworking successfully on multinational brandscontinues to grow, we strengthen our position toexploit the better economic environmentsthroughout the world. Our intention is to gainmarket share in the traditional advertising businessand to build aggressively on our strong foundationin marketing services and specialty advertising.

Second, we will continue to bolster our strongcorporate presence in today’s biggest Europeanmarkets. Though we are one of the largest advertisinggroups in the U.K., France and Germany, we haveample room for future growth.

Third, we intend to increase our commitmentto the Asia Pacific region. We believe this is anenormous opportunity for us to add importantrevenues and profits in the years ahead.

Fourth, we will continue to assess opportunitiesfor growth in the media buying services business.In future years, we intend to be the media plannersand buyers of choice for sophisticated clients whowill choose media suppliers the same way theychoose their agencies.

Fifth, our future plans will benefit from balancesheet strength which has been continuously

enhanced in the last five years. With a 1994 year-end Debt to Capital Ratio of 26% and an InterestCoverage Ratio of 6.5 times, we have validated 1993and 1994 ratings increases by Moody’s and Standardand Poor’s.

Most important, as we move into what webelieve will be a period of great opportunity, weknow we are moving forward with the most talentedcommunications specialists in the world. We excelbecause of our talented teams of professionals, andwe intend to maintain this edge in the years tocome.

Credit for our success goes to the many dedicatedpeople of Omnicom agencies in over 470 officesaround the world, and to the shareholders whohave given us their confidence and support sincethe very beginning of our enterprise. They have ourthanks and appreciation.

Omnicom Group Inc.

As the parent company of BBDO Worldwide, DDB Needham Worldwide, TBWA International, the DASGroup, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners and Altschiller & Company, the Company, through its wholly-ownedsubsidiary Omnicom Management Inc. provides a common financial and administrative base for the operatinggroups. The Company oversees the operations of each group through regular meetings with their respective top-level management. The Company sets operational goals for each of the groups and evaluates performance

3

through the review of monthly operational and financial reports. The Company provides its groups withcentralized services designed to coordinate financial reporting and controls, real estate planning and to focuscorporate development objectives. The Company develops consolidated services for its agencies and theirclients. For example, the Company participated in forming The Media Partnership, which consolidates certainmedia buying activities in Europe in order to obtain cost savings for clients.

Clients

The clients of the Agency include major industrial, financial and service industry companies as well assmaller, local clients. Among its clients are Anheuser-Busch, Apple Computer, Chrysler Corporation, DeltaAirlines, Gillette, GTE, Henkel, McDonald’s, PepsiCo., Visa U.S.A., Volkswagen and The Wm. Wrigley Jr.Company.

The Agency’s ten largest clients accounted for approximately 18% of 1994 billings. The majority of thesehave been clients for more than ten years. The Agency’s largest client accounted for less than 5% of 1994 billings.

Revenues

Commissions charged on media billings are the primary source of revenues for the Agency. Commissionrates are not uniform and are negotiated with the client. In accordance with industry practice, the media sourcetypically bills the Agency for the time or space purchased and the Agency bills its client for this amount plusthe commission. The Agency typically requires that payment for media charges be received from the clientbefore the Agency makes payments to the media. In some instances a member of the Omnicom Group, like otheradvertising agencies, is at risk in the event that its client is unable to pay the media.

The Agency’s advertising networks also generate revenues in arranging for the production of advertise-ments and commercials. Although, as a general matter, the Agency does not itself produce the advertisementsand commercials, the Agency’s creative and production staff directs and supervises the production company.The Agency bills the client for production costs plus a commission. In some circumstances, certain productionwork is done by the Agency’s personnel.

In some cases, fees are generated in lieu of commissions. Several different fee arrangements are useddepending on client and individual agency needs. In general, fee charges relate to the cost of providing servicesplus a markup. The DAS Group primarily charges fees for its various specialty services, which vary in type andscale, depending upon the service rendered and the client’s requirements.

Advertising agency revenues are dependent upon the marketing requirements of clients and tend to behighest in the second and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

Other Information

For additional information concerning the contribution of international operations to commissions andfees and net income see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Agency is continuously developing new methods of improving its research capabilities, to analyzespecific client requirements and to assess the impact of advertising. In the United States, approximately 146people on the Agency’s staff were employed in research during the year and the Agency’s domestic researchexpenditures approximated $20,395,000. Substantially all such expenses were incurred in connection withcontemporaneous servicing of clients.

The advertising business is highly competitive and accounts may shift agencies with comparative ease,usually on 90 days’ notice. Clients may also reduce advertising budgets at any time for any reason. An agency’sability to compete for new clients is affected in some instances by the policy, which many advertisers follow,of not permitting their agencies to represent competitive accounts in the same market. As a result, increasing sizemay limit an agency’s potential for securing certain new clients. In the vast majority of cases, however, theseparate, independent identities of BBDO Worldwide, DDB Needham Worldwide, TBWA International, theindependent agencies within the DAS Group, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners and Altschiller & Company haveenabled the Agency to represent competing clients.

4

BBDO Worldwide, DDB Needham Worldwide, TBWA International, the DAS Group, Goodby, Silverstein& Partners and Altschiller & Company have sought, and as part of the Agency’s operating segments will seek,new business by showing potential clients examples of advertising campaigns produced and by explaining thevariety of related services offered. The Agency competes in the United States and internationally with amultitude of full service and special service agencies. In addition to the usual risks of the advertising agencybusiness, international operations are subject to the risk of currency exchange fluctuations, exchange controlrestrictions and to actions of governmental authorities.

EmployeesThe business success of the Agency is, and will continue to be, highly dependent upon the skills and

creativity of its creative, research, media and account personnel and their relationships with clients. The Agencybelieves its operating groups have established reputations for creativity and marketing expertise which attract,retain and stimulate talented personnel. There is substantial competition among advertising agencies for talentedpersonnel and all agencies are vulnerable to adverse consequences from the loss of key individuals. Employeesare generally not under employment contracts and are free to move to competitors of the Agency. The Companybelieves that its compensation arrangements for its key employees, which include stock options, restricted stockand retirement plans, are highly competitive with those of other advertising agencies. As of December 31, 1994,the Agency, excluding unconsolidated companies, employed approximately 16,100 persons, of which approxi-mately 6,700 were employed in the United States and approximately 9,400 were employed in its internationaloffices.

Government RegulationThe advertising business is subject to government regulation, both within and outside the United States.

In the United States, federal, state and local governments and their agencies and various consumer groups havedirectly or indirectly affected or attempted to affect the scope, content and manner of presentation of advertising.The continued activity by government and by consumer groups regarding advertising may cause further changein domestic advertising practices in the coming years. While the Company is unable to estimate the effect of thesedevelopments on its U.S. business, management believes the total volume of advertising in general media in theUnited States will not be materially reduced due to future legislation or regulation, even though the form, content,and manner of presentation of advertising may be modified. In addition, the Company will continue to ensurethat its management and operating personnel are aware of and are responsive to the possible implications of suchdevelopments.

Item 2. PropertiesSubstantially all of the Company’s offices are located in leased premises. The Company has continued a

program to consolidate leased premises. Management has obtained subleases for most of the premises vacated.Where appropriate, management has established reserves for the difference between the cost of the leasedpremises that were vacated and anticipated sublease income.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

In 1994, domestic revenues from commissions and fees increased 11.4 percent. The effect of acquisitions,net of divestitures, accounted for a 1.4 percent increase. The remaining 10.0 percent increase was due to net newbusiness gains and higher spending from existing clients.

In 1993, domestic revenues from commissions and fees increased 9.0 percent. The effect of acquisitions,net of divestitures, accounted for a 3.9 percent increase. The remaining 5.1 percent increase was due to net newbusiness gains and higher spending from existing clients.

In 1992, domestic revenues increased 2 percent, primarily as a result of net new business gains and higherspending from existing clients.

In 1994, international revenues increased 20.3 percent. The effect of acquisitions, net of divestitures,accounted for an 8.7 percent increase in international revenues. The weakening of the U.S. dollar increasedinternational revenues by 2.3 percent. The remaining 9.3 percent increase was due to net new business gainsand higher spending from existing clients.

In 1993, international revenues increased 10.0 percent. The effect of the acquisition of TBWAInternational B.V. and several marketing services companies in the United Kingdom, net of divestitures,accounted for an 18.1 percent increase in international revenues. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar againstseveral major international currencies relevant to the Company’s non-U.S. operations decreased revenues by11.7 percent. The increase in revenues, due to net new business gains and higher spending from existing clients,was 3.6 percent.

8

In 1992, international revenues increased 25 percent, of which the effect of the acquisition of McKimBaker Lovick BBDO in Canada and the purchase of additional shares in several companies which werepreviously affiliates of the Company accounted for 14 percent. The remaining increase was due to net newbusiness gains and higher spending from existing clients. Currency exchange rates did not significantly impactthe revenues for the year.

In 1994, worldwide operating expenses increased 15.2 percent. Acquisitions, net of divestitures duringthe year, accounted for a 5.4 percent increase in worldwide operating expenses. The weakening of the U.S dollarincreased worldwide operating expenses by 1.2 percent. The remaining increase was caused by normal salaryincreases and growth in out-of-pocket expenditures to service the increased revenue base. Net currencyexchange gains did not significantly impact operating expenses for the year.

In 1993, worldwide operating expenses increased 8.8 percent. Acquisitions, net of divestitures during theyear, accounted for an 11.7 percent increase in worldwide operating expenses. The strengthening of the U.S.dollar against several international currencies decreased worldwide operating expenses by 5.9 percent. Theremaining increase was caused by normal salary increases and growth in out-of-pocket expenditures to servicethe increased revenue base. Net currency exchange gains did not significantly impact operating expenses forthe year.

In 1992, worldwide operating expenses increased 12.5 percent. Acquisitions, net of divestitures during theyear, accounted for 5.0 percent of the increase. The special charge accounted for 0.5 percent of the increase.The remaining increase was caused by normal salary increases and growth in out-of-pocket expenditures toservice the increased revenue base. Net currency exchange gains did not significantly impact total operatingexpenses for the year.

Interest expense in 1994 decreased by $6.4 million. This decrease reflects lower average borrowings andinterest rates on borrowings, primarily due to the conversion of the Company’s 6.5% Convertible SubordinatedDebentures in July 1994 and the full year effect of the conversion of the Company’s 7% ConvertibleSubordinated Debentures in October 1993. Interest and dividend income decreased by $2.7 million in 1994.This decrease was primarily due to lower average funds invested during the year and declining interest rates incertain countries.

Interest expense in 1993 was comparable to 1992. Interest and dividend income decreased in 1993 by $2.2million. This decrease was primarily due to lower average amounts of cash and marketable securities investedduring the year and lower average interest rates on amounts invested.

Interest expense in 1992 was comparable to 1991. Interest and dividend income decreased by $1.4 millionin 1992. This decrease was primarily due to lower average funds invested during the year and declining interestrates in certain countries.

In 1994, the effective tax rate decreased to 40.9 percent. The decrease reflects a lower internationaleffective tax rate primarily caused by fewer international operating losses with no associated tax benefit and taxplanning strategies implemented in certain non-U.S. countries.

In 1993, the effective tax rate decreased to 42.0 percent. This decrease primarily reflects a lowerinternational effective tax rate caused by fewer international operating losses with no associated tax benefit,partially offset by an increased domestic federal tax rate.

In 1992, the effective tax rate of 43.6 percent was comparable to the 1991 effective tax rate of 44 percent.

In 1994, consolidated net income before the change in accounting principle increased by 26.7 percent. Thisincrease was the result of revenue growth, margin improvement and an increase in equity income, partially offsetby an increase in minority interest expense. Operating margin, which excludes net interest expense, increasedto 11.7 percent in 1994 from 11.2 percent in 1993. This increase was the result of greater growth in commissionand fee revenue than the growth in operating expenses. The increase in equity income was primarily due to theacquisition of certain minority interests and improved net income at companies which are less than 50 percentowned. The increase in minority interest expense was primarily due to greater earnings by companies whereminority interests exist and the additional minority interests resulting from acquisitions. In 1994, the incrementalimpact of divestitures, net of acquisitions, accounted for a 1.7 percent decrease in consolidated net income, whilethe weakening of the U.S dollar against several international currencies increased consolidated net income by1.1 percent.

9

In 1993, consolidated net income increased 23.2 percent. This increase is the result of revenue growth,margin improvement, an increase in equity income and a decrease in minority interest expense. Operatingmargin increased to 11.2 percent in 1993 from 10.6 percent in 1992. This increase was the result of greatergrowth in commission and fee revenue than the growth in operating expenses. The increase in equity incomewas the result of improved net income at companies which are less than 50 percent owned. The decrease inminority interest expense was primarily due to the acquisition of certain minority interests in 1993 and lowerearnings by companies in which minority interests exist. In 1993, the incremental impact of acquisitions, netof divestitures, accounted for 0.8 percent of the increase in consolidated net income, while the strengthening ofthe U.S. dollar against several international currencies decreased consolidated net income by 5.7 percent.

Consolidated net income increased 21 percent in 1992. This increase was the result of revenue growth andmargin improvement. Operating margin, after the first quarter special charge discussed below, decreased to 10.6percent in 1992 from 10.9 percent in 1991. This decrease was the result of the special charge offset by greatergrowth in commissions and fees than the growth in operating expenses. In 1992, the incremental impact ofacquisitions, net of divestitures, accounted for 6 percent of the increase in consolidated net income.

At December 31, 1994, accounts receivable increased by $238.4 million from December 31, 1993. Thisincrease was primarily due to acquisitions and an increased volume of activity resulting from business growth.

At December 31, 1994, accounts payable increased by $367.7 million from December 31, 1993. Thisincrease was primarily due to acquisitions, an increased volume of activity resulting from business growth, anddifferences in the dates on which payments to media and other suppliers became due in 1994 compared to 1993.

At December 31, 1992, the translation, into U.S. dollars, of the assets and liabilities of the Company’sinternational subsidiaries decreased cumulative translation adjustment by $70.9 million compared toDecember 31, 1991. This decrease was primarily the result of a stronger U.S. dollar exchange rate for certaininternational currencies at December 31, 1992 as compared to December 31, 1991.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial AccountingStandards No. 112 “Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits”. The cumulative after tax effect ofthe adoption of this statement decreased net income by $28.0 million.

In 1992, the Company adopted two new accounting principles which had a net favorable cumulative aftertax effect of $3.8 million. At the same time, the Company recorded a special charge to provide for future lossesrelated to certain leased property. The combination of the favorable impact of the adoption of the new accountingprinciples and the after tax impact of the special charge had no effect on 1992 consolidated net income.

The Company’s international operations are subject to the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations.This risk is generally limited to the net income of the operations as the revenues and expenses of the operationsare generally denominated in the same currency. When economically beneficial to do so, the Company or itsinternational operations enter into hedging transactions to minimize the risk of adverse currency exchange ratefluctuations on the net income of the operation. The Company’s major international markets are the UnitedKingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Canada. The Company’s operations are alsosubject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations.

As part of managing the Company’s exposure to changes in currency exchange and market interest rates,the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with major well known banks acting asprincipal counterparty.

In order to minimize counterparty risk, the Company only enters into derivative contracts with major wellknown banks that have credit ratings equal to or better than the Company’s. Additionally, these contracts containprovisions for net settlement. As such, the contracts settle based on the spread between the currency rates andinterest rates contained in the contracts and the current market rates. This minimizes the risk of an insolventcounterparty being unable to pay the Company and, at the same time, having the creditors of the counterpartydemanding the notional principal amount from the Company.

The Company’s derivative activities are limited in volume and confined to risk management activitiesrelated to the Company’s worldwide operations. A reporting system is in place which evaluates the impact onthe Company’s earnings resulting from changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and other relevantmarket risks. This system is structured to enable senior management to initiate prompt remedial action, ifappropriate.

10

At December 31, 1994, the Company had forward exchange contracts outstanding with an aggregatenotional principal amount of $346 million, most of which were denominated in the Company’s majorinternational market currencies. These contracts effectively hedge certain of the Company’s assets and liabilitieswhich are recorded in a currency different from that in which they will settle. The terms of these contracts aregenerally three months or less.

The Company had no other derivative contracts outstanding at December 31, 1994.

At December 31, 1993, the Company had entered into various cross currency interest rate swaptransactions. The notional principal amount of these swap transactions totaled $70.6 million comprisingcontracts denominated in German Deutsche Marks, French Francs, Australian Dollars and Spanish Pesetas. Theswaps were principally used to reduce the Company’s risk related to currency fluctuations and to convert theeffective interest rate on borrowings of certain international subsidiaries from fixed rates to a lower floating U.S.interest rate. In addition, the Company had one U.S. dollar interest rate swap outstanding at December 31, 1993with a notional principal amount of $50 million, for the purpose of converting a portion of the floating U.S.interest rates mentioned previously to fixed interest rates. These contracts were closed out during 1994 for a gainof $2.4 million which is being amortized into income over the original term of the swap agreements.

The current economic conditions in the Company’s major markets would indicate varying growth ratesin advertising expenditures in 1995. The Company anticipates relatively favorable growth rates in its majorinternational markets.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents increased $53 million during 1994 to $228 million at December 31, 1994. TheCompany’s positive net cash flow provided by operating activities was enhanced by an improvement in therelationship between the collection of accounts receivable and the payment of obligations to media and othersuppliers. After annual cash outlays for dividends paid to shareholders and minority interests and the repurchaseof the Company’s common stock for employee programs, the balance of the cash flow was used to fundacquisitions, make capital expenditures and repay debt obligations.

On June 1, 1994, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption for its 6.5% Convertible SubordinatedDebentures due 2004. Prior to the July 27,1994 redemption date, debenture holders elected to convert all of theiroutstanding debentures into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $28.00 per common share.

The Company maintains relationships with a number of banks worldwide, which have extended unsecuredcommitted lines of credit in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs. At December 31, 1994, theCompany had $370 million in committed lines of credit, comprised of a $250 million revolving credit agreementexpiring on June 30, 1997 and $120 million in unsecured credit lines, principally outside of the United States.Of the $370 million in committed lines, $32 million were used at December 31, 1994. Management believes theaggregate lines of credit available to the Company are adequate to support its short-term cash requirements fordividends, capital expenditures and maintenance of working capital.

On January 4, 1995, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued Deutsche Mark 200million Floating Rate Bonds (approximately $130 million), due January 5, 2000. The bonds bear interest at aper annum rate equal to Deutsche Mark three month LIBOR plus 0.65%.

The Company anticipates that the year end cash position, together with the future cash flows fromoperations and funds available under existing credit facilities and borrowings will be adequate to meet its long-term cash requirements as presently contemplated.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

The management of Omnicom Group Inc. is responsible for the integrity of the financial data reported byOmnicom Group and its subsidiaries. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the financial statementspresent fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of OmnicomGroup. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accountingprinciples.

The system of internal controls of Omnicom Group, augmented by a program of internal audits, is designedto provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and records are maintained to substantiate thepreparation of accurate financial information. Underlying this concept of reasonable assurance is the premisethat the cost of control should not exceed the benefits derived therefrom.

The financial statements have been audited by independent public accountants. Their report expresses anindependent informed judgment as to the fairness of management’s reported operating results and financialposition. This judgment is based on the procedures described in the second paragraph of their report.

The Audit Committee meets periodically with representatives of financial management, internal audit andthe independent public accountants to assure that each is properly discharging their responsibilities. In order toensure complete independence, the Audit Committee communicates directly with the independent publicaccountants, internal audit and financial management to discuss the results of their audits, the adequacy ofinternal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors andShareholders of Omnicom Group Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Omnicom Group Inc. (a New Yorkcorporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements ofincome, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to expressan opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statementsare free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amountsand disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used andsignificant 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, thefinancial position of Omnicom Group Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the resultsof their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 inconformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 1994, the Companychanged its methods of accounting for postemployment benefits and certain investments in debt and equitysecurities. Effective January 1, 1992, the Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes andpostretirement benefits other than pensions.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as awhole. The schedule on page S-1 is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and ExchangeCommission’s rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to theauditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in allmaterial respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statementstaken as a whole.

OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recognition of Commission and Fee Revenue. Substantially all revenues are derived from commissionsfor placement of advertisements in various media and from fees for manpower and for production ofadvertisements. Revenue is generally recognized when billed. Billings are generally rendered upon presentationdate for media, when manpower is used, when costs are incurred for radio and television production and whenprint production is completed.

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts ofOmnicom Group Inc. and its domestic and international subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significantintercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1994presentation.

Billable Production. Billable production orders in process consist principally of costs incurred inproducing advertisements and marketing communications for clients. Such amounts are generally billed toclients when costs are incurred for radio and television production and when print production is completed.

Treasury Stock. The Company accounts for treasury share purchases at cost. The reissuance of treasuryshares is accounted for at the average cost. Gains or losses on the reissuance of treasury shares are generallyaccounted for as additional paid-in capital.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Company’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with therequirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.” Underthis method, net transaction gains of $4.0 million, $5.0 million and $8.1 million are included in 1994, 1993 and1992 net income, respectively.

Earnings Per Common Share. Primary earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number ofcommon shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each year. Fully diluted earnings per shareis based on the above and if dilutive, adjusted for the assumed conversion of the Company’s ConvertibleSubordinated Debentures and the assumed increase in net income for the after tax interest cost of thesedebentures. For the year ended December 31, 1994 the 4.5%/6.25% Step-Up Convertible SubordinatedDebentures were assumed to be converted for the full year; and the 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentureswere assumed to be converted through July 27, 1994, when they were converted into common stock. For the yearended December 31, 1993, the 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were assumed to be converted forthe full year; the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were assumed to be converted through October 8,1993 when they were converted into common stock; and the 4.5%/6.25% Step-Up Convertible SubordinatedDebentures were assumed to be converted from their September 1, 1993 issuance date. For the year endedDecember 31, 1992, the 6.5% and 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were assumed to be converted forthe full year. The number of shares used in the computations were as follows:

1994 1993 1992

Primary EPS computation …………… 34,369,200 30,607,900 28,320,400

Fully diluted EPS computation ……… 38,949,600 37,563,500 35,332,400

For purposes of computing fully diluted earnings per share on net income and the cumulative effect of thechange in accounting principle, for the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company’s Convertible Subordi-nated Debentures were not reflected in the computations as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Severance Agreements. Arrangements with certain present and former employees provide for continuingpayments for periods up to 10 years after cessation of their full-time employment in consideration for agreementsby the employees not to compete and to render consulting services in the post employment period. Suchpayments, which are determined, subject to certain conditions and limitations, by earnings in subsequentperiods, are expensed in such periods.

OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Depreciation of Furniture and Equipment and Amortization of Leasehold Improvements. Depreciationcharges are computed on a straight-line basis or declining balance method over the estimated useful lives offurniture and equipment, up to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over thelesser of the terms of the related lease or the useful life of these assets.

Intangibles. Intangibles represent acquisition costs in excess of the fair value of tangible net assets ofpurchased subsidiaries. Intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding forty years.Each year, the intangibles are written off if, and to the extent, they are determined to be impaired. Intangiblesare considered to be impaired if the future anticipated undiscounted income of the subsidiary is less than the netunamortized cost of the intangibles.

Deferred Taxes. Deferred tax liabilities and tax benefits relate to the recognition of certain revenues andexpenses in different years for financial statement and tax purposes.

Cash Flows. The Company’s cash equivalents are primarily comprised of investments in short-terminterest-bearing deposits and money market instruments with maturity dates of three months or less.

The following supplemental schedule summarizes the fair value of assets acquired, cash paid, commonshares issued and the liabilities assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of equity interests in subsidiariesand affiliates, for each of the three years ended December 31:

(Dollars in thousands)

1994 1993 1992

Fair value of non-cash assets acquired …… $ 265,865 $287,177 $173,974Cash paid, net of cash acquired …………… (150,660) (80,577) (59,651)Common shares issued …………………… (13,035) (21,906) 5,596Liabilities assumed ………………………… $ 102,170 $184,694 $119,919

During 1994, the Company issued 3,571,233 shares of common stock upon conversion of $100 millionof its 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. During 1993, the Company issued 3,334,079 shares ofcommon stock upon conversion of $85.9 million of its 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures.

Concentration of Credit Risk. The Company provides advertising and marketing services to a wide rangeof clients who operate in many industry sectors around the world. The Company grants credit to all qualifiedclients, but does not believe it is exposed to any undue concentration of credit risk to any significant degree.

Derivative Financial Instruments. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments which are hedgesof existing assets or liabilities are included in the carrying amount of those assets or liabilities and are ultimatelyrecognized in income as part of those carrying amounts. Interest received and/or paid arising from swapagreements which qualify as hedges are recognized in income when the interest is receivable or payable.Derivative financial instruments which do not qualify as hedges are revalued to the current market rate and anygains or losses are recorded in income in the current period.

2. Acquisitions

During 1994 the Company made several acquisitions within the advertising industry whose aggregate cost,in cash or by issuance of the Company’s common stock, totaled $190.4 million for net assets, which includedintangible assets of $221.5 million. Due to the nature of the advertising industry, companies acquired generallyhave minimal tangible net assets. The majority of the purchase price is paid for ongoing client relationships andother intangibles. Included in both figures are contingent payments related to prior year acquisitions totaling$32.2 million.

Pro forma combined results of operations of the Company as if the acquisitions had occurred onJanuary 1, 1993 do not materially differ from the reported amounts in the consolidated statements of income foreach of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994.

Certain acquisitions entered into in 1994 and prior years require payments in future years if certain resultsare achieved. Formulas for these contingent future payments differ from acquisition to acquisition. Contingentfuture payments are not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In May 1993, the Company completed its acquisition of a third agency network, TBWA International B.V.The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the results of operations for TBWAInternational B.V. have been included in these consolidated financial statements since January 1, 1993. Prioryear consolidated financial statements were not restated as the impact on such years was not material.

3. Bank Loans and Lines of CreditBank loans generally resulted from bank overdrafts of international subsidiaries which are treated as loans

pursuant to bank agreements. The weighted average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding as ofDecember 31, 1994 and 1993 was 9.1% and 6.5%. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had unsecuredcommitted lines of credit aggregating $370 million and $359 million, respectively. The unused portion of creditlines was $338 million and $332 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The lines of credit aregenerally extended at the banks’ lending rates to their most credit worthy borrowers. Material compensatingbalances are not required within the terms of these credit agreements.

At December 31, 1993, the committed lines of credit included $200 million under a two and one-half yearrevolving credit agreement. Due to the long term nature of this credit agreement, borrowings under theagreement would be classified as long-term debt. As of July 15, 1994, the $200 million revolving creditagreement was replaced by a $250 million revolving credit agreement expiring June 30, 1997. Borrowings underthis credit agreement would also be classified as long-term debt. There were no borrowings under theserevolving credit agreements at December 31, 1994 and 1993.

These revolving credit agreements include a facility for issuing commercial paper backed by a bank letterof credit. During the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company issued commercial paperwith an average original maturity of 33, 32 and 31 days, respectively. The Company had no commercial paperborrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992. The maximum outstanding during the yearwas $230 million, $194 million and $120 million, in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. The gross amount ofissuance and redemption during the year was $1,587 million, $1,337 million and $1,012 million in 1994, 1993and 1992, respectively.

4. Employee Stock PlansUnder the terms of the Company’s 1987 Stock Plan, as amended (the “1987 Plan”), 4,750,000 shares of

common stock of the Company are reserved for restricted stock awards and non-qualified stock options to keyemployees of the Company.

6. Investments in Affiliates

The Company has approximately 45 unconsolidated affiliates accounted for under the equity method. Theequity method is used when the Company has an ownership of less than 50% and exercises significant influenceover the operating and financial policies of the affiliate. The following table summarizes the balance sheets andincome statements of the Company’s unconsolidated affiliates, primarily in Europe, Australia and Asia, as ofDecember 31, 1994, 1993, 1992, and for the years then ended:

The increase in the summarized balance sheets and income statements of the Company’s unconsolidatedaffiliates in 1994 is due to the growth of the Company’s existing equity affiliates and the inclusion of AegisGroup plc, in which the Company had acquired a minority interest. The Company’s equity in the net income ofthese affiliates amounted to $18.3 million, $13.2 million and $9.6 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.The Company’s equity in the net tangible assets of these affiliated companies was approximately $65.8 million,$58.1 million and $56.2 million at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Included in the Company’sinvestments in affiliates is the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of tangible net assets acquired. Theseacquisition costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding forty years.

A provision has been made for additional income and withholding taxes on the earnings of internationalsubsidiaries and affiliates that will be distributed.

9. Employee Retirement PlansThe Company’s international and domestic subsidiaries provide retirement benefits for their employees

primarily through profit sharing plans. Company contributions to the plans, which are determined by the boardsof directors of the subsidiaries, have been in amounts up to 15% (the maximum amount deductible for federalincome tax purposes) of total eligible compensation of participating employees. Profit sharing expenseamounted to $34.7 million, $25.8 million and $20.8 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Some of the Company’s international subsidiaries have pension plans. These plans are not required toreport to governmental agencies pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).Substantially all of these plans are funded by fixed premium payments to insurance companies who undertakelegal obligations to provide specific benefits to the individuals covered. Pension expense amounted to $2.6million, $2.4 million and $2.7 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have an executive retirement program under which benefits will bepaid to participants or their beneficiaries over 15 years from age 65 or death. In addition, other subsidiaries haveindividual deferred compensation arrangements with certain executives which provide for payments overvarying terms upon retirement, cessation of employment or death.

Some of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries provide life insurance and medical benefits for retiredemployees. Eligibility requirements vary by subsidiary, but generally include attainment of a specifiedcombined age plus years of service factor. Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted the provisions ofStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 “Employers’ Accounting For Post Retirement BenefitsOther Than Pensions” (“SFAS No. 106”). SFAS No. 106 requires that the expected cost of post retirementbenefits be charged to expense during the years that the eligible employees render service. The expense relatedto these benefits was not material to the 1994, 1993 and 1992 consolidated results of operations.

10. Commitments

At December 31, 1994, the Company was committed under operating leases, principally for office space.Certain leases are subject to rent reviews and require payment of expenses under escalation clauses.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

During 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119 “Disclosureabout Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financialinstruments at December 31, 1994.

(Dollars in Thousands)Carrying FairAmount Value

Cash, cash equivalents and investments available-for-sale $ 256,634 $ 256,634Long-term investments ....................................................... 5,532 5,532Long-term debt ................................................................... 190,914 192,352

Financial Commitments:Forward exchange contracts ............................................ — 123

Guarantees ....................................................................... — 10,065 Letters of credit ................................................................ — 19,879

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financialinstruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash equivalents and investments available-for-sale:

Cash equivalents and investments available-for-sale consist principally of investments in short-term,interest bearing instruments and are carried at fair market value, which approximates cost.

Long-term investments:

Included in deferred charges and other assets are long-term investments carried at cost, which approxi-mates estimated fair value.

Long-term debt:

The fair value of the Company’s convertible subordinated debenture issue was determined by referenceto quotations available in markets where that issue is traded. These quotations primarily reflect the conversionvalue of the debentures into the Company’s common stock. These debentures are redeemable by the Company,at prices explained in Note 7, which are less than the quoted market prices used in determining the fair value.The fair value of the Company’s remaining long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates offered tothe Company for debt with the same remaining maturities.

Financial commitments:

The estimated fair value of derivative positions are based upon quotations received from independent,third party banks and represent the net amount payable to terminate the position, taking into consideration market

F-16

OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

rates and counterparty credit risk. The fair values of guarantees, principally related to affiliated companies, andletters of credit were based upon the face value of the underlying instruments.

12. Financial Instruments and Market RiskThe Company periodically utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce certain market risks to which

the Company is exposed. These market risks primarily consist of the impact of changes in currency exchangerates on assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations and the impact of changes in interest rates on debt. TheCompany’s derivative activities are limited in volume and confined to risk management activities. Seniormanagement at the Company actively participate in the quantification, monitoring and control of all significantrisks. A reporting system is in place which evaluates the impact on the Company’s earnings resulting fromchanges in interest rates, currency exchange rates and other relevant market risks. This system is structured toenable senior management to initiate prompt remedial action, if appropriate. Adequate segregation of dutiesexists with regard to the execution, recording and monitoring of derivative activities. Additionally, seniormanagement reports periodically to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concerning derivativeactivities. Since 1993, the Audit Committee has established limitations on derivative activities. Theselimitations have been reviewed annually, most recently on March 23, 1995. The Audit Committee hasreconfirmed, for the year 1995, the limitations originally established in 1993.

At December 31, 1994, the Company had no swap agreements outstanding.

At December 31, 1993, the Company had cross currency swap agreements and a U.S. dollar interest rateswap agreement outstanding with commercial banks as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)Aggregate Company Company

Notional Amount Receives Pays

Cross currency fixed to floating rate swaps ........... $70,600 8.97% 3.51%U.S. dollar floating to fixed rate swap .................... $50,000 3.22% 4.99%

The cross currency swap agreements were comprised of contracts denominated in German Deutsche Marks,French Francs, Australian Dollars and Spanish Pesetas. These contracts effectively changed a portion of theCompany’s non-U.S. dollar denominated debt to floating rate U.S. dollar denominated debt, which reduced theCompany’s risk related to currency fluctuations and interest rates. The U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreementconverted a portion of the Company’s floating rate debt to a fixed rate. These agreements were closed out during1994 for a gain of $2.4 million which is being amortized into income over the original term of the swapagreements.

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain assets and liabilities which arerecorded in a currency different from that in which they will settle. Gains and losses on these positions aredeferred and included in the basis of the transaction upon settlement. The terms of these contracts are generallythree months or less. The table below summarizes by major currency the notional principal amounts of theCompany’s forward exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 1994. The “buy” amounts represent theU.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase the respective currency, and the “sell” amounts represent theU.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell the respective currency.

OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The derivative financial instruments existing at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were entered into for thepurpose of hedging certain specific currency and interest rate risks. As a result of these financial instruments,the Company reduced financial risk in exchange for foregoing any gain (reward) which might have occurred ifthe markets moved favorably. In using derivative financial instruments, management exchanged the risks of thefinancial markets for counterparty risks. In order to minimize counterparty risk the Company only enters intocontracts with major well known banks that have credit ratings equal to or better than the Company’s.Additionally, these contracts contain provisions for net settlement. As such, the contracts settle based on thespread between the currency rates and interest rates contained in the contracts and the current market rates. Thisminimizes the risk of an insolvent counterparty being unable to pay the Company the notional principal amountowed to the Company and, at the same time, having the creditors of the counterparty demanding the notionalprincipal amount from the Company.

13. Adoption of New Accounting Principles and Special Charge

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,“Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits” (“SFAS No. 112”). This Statement establishesaccounting standards for employers who provide benefits to former or inactive employees after employment butbefore retirement (referred to in this Statement as “postemployment benefits”). Those benefits include, but arenot limited to, salary continuation, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance benefits, disability-relatedbenefits, job training and counseling, and continuation of benefits such as health care benefits and life insurancecoverage. The cumulative after tax effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 112 resulted in a reduction to net incomeof $28.0 million.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company also adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”). This Statementaddresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fairvalues and for all investments in debt securities. In compliance with SFAS No. 115, the Company classifies theseinvestments as investments available-for-sale. At December 31, 1994, the Company’s investments consistedprincipally of time deposits with financial institutions. These investments, with scheduled maturities of less thanone year, are valued at estimated fair value, which approximates cost. These investments are generally redeemedat face value upon maturity and, as such, gains or losses on disposition are immaterial. There are no materialunrealized holding gains or losses as of December 31, 1994.

Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106 and SFAS No. 109. The cumulative aftertax effect of the adoption of these Statements increased net income by $3.8 million, substantially all of whichrelated to SFAS No. 109. Due to the continued weakening of the commercial real estate market in certaindomestic and international locations and the reorganization of certain operations, the Company provided aspecial charge of $6.7 million pretax for losses related to future lease costs.
