Marketing agency core adjusted EBITA margin measures adjusted EBITA as a percentage of Core Operations revenue.

Omnicom reported a 17.8% Core Operations adjusted EBITA margin in the second quarter of 2026, up from 15.9% for the combined prior-year base. Adjusted EBITA was $1.069B.

Cost synergies supported margin expansion

Omnicom said the margin increase was primarily due to cost-reduction synergies following the IPG acquisition.

The measure therefore reflects integration economics as well as underlying agency profitability.

Adjusted EBITA is issuer-defined

The metric excludes repositioning and integration or acquisition-related costs and should not be treated as a standardized peer operating margin.
