Interpublic Announces Second Quarter and First Half 2022 Results

Second quarter net revenue was $2.38 billion, an increase of 4.7% from a year ago, with organic growth of 7.9%
Second quarter net income was $229.6 million, with adjusted EBITA of $370.1 million and margin of 15.6% on net revenue
Second quarter diluted EPS was $0.58 as reported and $0.63 as adjusted
Company expects FY22 organic growth to exceed 6.5% and to deliver 16.6% adjusted EBITA margin for the year
Company highlights strength of talent, resources, and differentiated solutions

Philippe Krakowsky, CEO of IPG:

“We are pleased to report a strong second quarter and first-half, in which we continued to build on our industry-leading performance over a period of many years. Growth in the quarter was broad-based across world regions, client sectors and our operating units. A differentiator of our performance has been our ability to bring together creativity, digital technology and data to create marketing solutions that are responsive to the evolving business transformation needs of our clients. Our growth is largely driven by these highly relevant capabilities, with which we are solving for an expanding set of marketer needs for more precise, personalized, and accountable engagements at an individual level, with respect for data ethics and compliance.

“Like all companies, as we look ahead we are facing a period of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, and the limited visibility that comes with such an environment. In April, we upgraded our 2022 organic growth expectation to 6% and given our growth through the first half of the year, we see upside and believe we will exceed 6.5% organic growth for the full year. We continue to expect that we will deliver adjusted EBITA margin of 16.6%.

“We will stay close to and support our people and our clients, remain disciplined in managing our operations, and maintain the strength of our balance sheet. The skill and commitment of our IPG colleagues have helped us to reach the halfway point of the year on strong footing. I’d like to recognize and thank our people for their work, on behalf of clients and in support of each other, as well as their engagement on vital societal issues consistent with our culture and our values.”

Summary

Revenue
Second quarter 2022 net revenue of $2.38 billion increased by 4.7% compared to $2.27 billion in the second quarter of 2021. During the quarter, our organic net revenue increase was 7.9%, which was comprised of an organic net revenue increase of 8.3% in the U.S. and an increase of 7.1% internationally. Second quarter 2022 total revenue, which includes billable expenses, of $2.74 billion, increased by 9.0% compared to $2.51 billion in 2021.
First half 2022 net revenue of $4.60 billion increased by 7.1% compared to $4.30 billion in the first half of 2021. During the first half of 2022, our organic net revenue increase was 9.6%, which was comprised of an organic net revenue increase of 10.2% in the U.S. and an increase of 8.6% internationally. First half 2022 total revenue, which includes billable expenses, of $5.30 billion, increased by 11.3% compared to $4.77 billion in 2021.

Operating Results
Operating income in the second quarter of 2022 was $349.1 million compared to $384.4 million in 2021. Adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges was $370.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges of $405.8 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges margin on net revenue was 15.6%, compared to 17.9% in 2021. The comparison is mainly due to increased headcount from a year ago required to support our strong 11.4% organic growth over the trailing twelve months, and to the impact of the pandemic on our operating expenses a year ago, when certain expenses were at a historically low levels.
Operating income in the first half of 2022 was $594.8 million compared to $627.4 million in 2021. Adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges was $643.7 million in the first half of 2022, compared to adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges of $671.7 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges margin on net revenue was 14.0%, compared to 15.6% in 2021.
Net restructuring charges were $(0.1) million and $6.5 million for the second quarter and first half of 2022, respectively. Net restructuring charges were $(0.2) million and $1.1 million for the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively. Restructuring charges represent adjustments to our 2020 restructuring program, rather than new actions.

Operating Expenses
For the second quarter of 2022, total operating expenses, excluding billable expenses, increased by 7.5%, mainly due to increased headcount from a year ago required to support our strong 11.4% organic growth over the trailing twelve months, and to the impact of the pandemic on our operating expenses a year ago, when certain expenses were at historically low levels. For the first half of 2022, total operating expenses, excluding billable expenses, increased by 9.2%, compared to the net revenue increase of 7.1%.

Staff cost ratio, which is total salaries and related expenses as a percentage of net revenue, increased to 66.9% in the second quarter of 2022 from 65.4% in the same period in 2021, and increased to 68.5% in the first half of 2022 from 67.0% in the same period in 2021. Salaries and related expenses increased 7.1% to $1.59 billion during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $1.48 billion for the same period in 2021. Salaries and related expenses increased 9.6% to $3.15 billion during the first half of 2022, compared to $2.88 billion for the same period in 2021. The increase in staff cost ratio as a percentage of net revenue in the second quarter and first half of 2022 was primarily driven by an increase in base salaries, benefits and payroll tax, which was driven by hiring to support revenue growth, partially offset by a decrease in performance-based employee compensation expense.

Office and other direct expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 14.7% during the second quarter of 2022, compared to 13.3% a year ago, and increased as a percentage of net revenue to 14.6% during the first half of 2022, compared to 13.8% a year ago. In the second quarter of 2022, office and other direct expenses were $349.8 million, an increase of 16.2% compared to the same period in 2021. In the first half of 2022, office and other direct expenses were $673.2 million, an increase of 13.4% compared to the same period in 2021. The change for the second quarter and first half of 2022 was mainly due to increases in travel and entertainment expenses, professional consulting fees and client services costs, as well as increases in expenses related to company meetings and conferences, partially offset by savings on occupancy expense as a result of real estate restructuring actions taken in 2020.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 0.8% during the second quarter of 2022, compared to 1.3% during the same period in 2021, and decreased as a percentage of net revenue to 0.8% during the first half of 2022, compared to 1.3% during the same period in 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses were $19.4 million compared to $29.4 million for the same period in 2021. During the first half of 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses were $38.7 million compared to $57.6 million for the same period in 2021. The change for the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to decreases in performance-based incentive compensation expense, partially offset by increases in professional consulting fees. The change for the first half of 2022 was primarily due to decreases in performance-based incentive compensation

expense, partially offset by increases in base salaries, benefits and tax and an increase in professional consulting fees.

Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 2.8% during the second quarter of 2022, compared to 3.1% a year ago, and decreased to 2.9% during the first half of 2022, compared to 3.2% a year ago. During the second quarter of 2022, depreciation and amortization was $67.1 million, a decrease of 4.3% compared to the same period in 2021. During the first half of 2022, depreciation and amortization was $134.9 million, a decrease of 3.2% compared to the same period in 2021.

There were no new restructuring actions taken in the first half of 2022. Restructuring charges were $(0.2) million for the second quarter of 2021 and were $1.1 million for the first half of 2021, which also consisted of adjustments to the 2020 program.

Non-Operating Results and Tax
Net interest expense decreased by $5.2 million to $29.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 from a year ago, and decreased by $18.3 million to $59.4 million in the first half of 2022 from a year ago.

Other expense, net was $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 and other expense, net was $10.7 million in the first half of 2022, which primarily consisted of a non-cash loss related to the deconsolidation of a previously consolidated entity in which we maintain an equity interest and losses on the sales of certain small, non-strategic businesses.

The income tax provision in the second quarter of 2022 was $83.7 million on income before income taxes of $314.8 million. This compares to an income tax provision of $86.7 million for the second quarter of 2021 on income before income taxes of $354.1 million.
