• | Company states it is well-positioned to achieve high end of 2016 organic revenue growth target of 3% - 4% and to expand full-year operating margin by 50 bps or better |
Summary
Revenue
| |
• | First quarter 2016 revenue was $1.74 billion, compared to $1.68 billion in the first quarter of 2015, with an organic revenue increase of 6.7% compared to the prior-year period. This was comprised of an organic increase of 8.3% in the U.S. and 4.3% internationally. |
Operating Results
| |
• | Operating income in the first quarter of 2016 was $20.9 million, compared to $7.8 million in 2015. |
| |
• | Operating margin was 1.2% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 0.5% in 2015. |
Net Results
| |
• | First quarter results include a non-operating pre-tax loss of $16.3 million on the sales of businesses, in "Other (Expense) Income, net," which is chiefly non-cash. This amount includes losses on completed dispositions and the classification of certain assets as held for sale. |
| |
• | The income tax benefit in the quarter includes valuation allowance reversals of $12.2 million as a consequence of the classification of assets as held for sale, as well as a benefit of $7.5 million related to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2016-09. |
| |
• | First quarter 2016 net income available to IPG common stockholders was $5.4 million, resulting in earnings of $0.01 per basic and diluted share. This compares to net loss |
Interpublic Group 909 Third Avenue New York, NY 10022 212-704-1200 tel 212-704-1201 fax
available to IPG common stockholders a year ago of $1.8 million and break-even earnings per basic and diluted share.
“We are pleased to report another quarter of very strong performance, driven by solid contributions from across the portfolio. Our results reflect growth with existing clients, as well as new business wins, and strength in all geographic regions, led by notable domestic performance,” said Michael I. Roth, Interpublic’s Chairman and CEO. “Our digital expertise - whether embedded within all of our agency networks or at our stand-alone specialist agencies - continues to make us a valued partner for clients as they respond to an increasingly complex media and marketing landscape. Another key differentiator for IPG is our long-standing commitment to integrated ‘open architecture’ solutions customized to client needs. First quarter profit performance demonstrates that we are focused on driving further margin expansion. We also remain committed to our robust capital return programs. While the first quarter is seasonally small for us, our results position us to deliver on the high end of our 2016 target of 3% - 4% organic revenue growth and to expand full-year operating margin by 50 basis points or better. The caliber of our people and our offerings, coupled with strong operating discipline, is a winning combination that will ensure we continue to deliver for clients and further enhance shareholder value.”
Operating Results
Revenue
Revenue of $1.74 billion in the first quarter of 2016 increased 3.9% compared with the same period in 2015. During the quarter, the effect of foreign currency translation was negative 3.1%, the impact of net acquisitions was positive 0.3% and the resulting organic revenue increase was 6.7%.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased 3.2% in the first quarter of 2016 from a year ago, compared with revenue growth of 3.9%.
Salaries and related expenses were $1.27 billion in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 4.6% compared to the same period in 2015.
Staff cost ratio, which is total salaries and related expenses as a percentage of total revenue, was 73.0% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 72.5% in the same period in 2015, in the seasonally small first quarter, due to higher expenses for long-term performance-based compensation and severance.
During the first quarter of 2016, office and general expenses were $450.2 million, a decrease of 0.6% compared to the same period in 2015, due to the impact of changes in foreign currency translation and decreased pass-through expenses. Office and general expenses were 25.8% of revenue in the first quarter of 2016 compared with 27.0% a year ago.

Non-Operating Results and Tax
Net interest expense of $16.8 million increased by $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
The income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2016 was $15.6 million on loss before income taxes of $13.0 million, compared to a benefit of $1.4 million on loss before income taxes of $5.6 million in the same period in 2015. The income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by valuation allowance reversals of $12.2 million, as a consequence of the classification of certain assets as held for sale, in addition to a benefit of $7.5 million on the early adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, which requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies on employee share-based payment accounting to be recognized in earnings instead of as additional paid-in capital, on a prospective basis.
Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2016, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $680.3 million, compared to $1.51 billion at December 31, 2015 and $741.2 million at March 31, 2015. Total debt was $1.74 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.76 billion at December 31, 2015.
Share Repurchase Program and Common Stock Dividend
During the first quarter of 2016, the company repurchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $53.7 million and an average price of $21.67 per share, including fees.
During the first quarter of 2016, the company declared and paid a common stock cash dividend of $0.15 per share, for a total of $59.9 million.

(1) The following table reconciles our reported results to our adjusted non-GAAP results that excludes the losses on sales of businesses in our international markets, primarily in Continental Europe, valuation allowance reversals as a result of the classification of certain assets as held for sale, and the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-09. The losses on sales of businesses amount includes losses on completed dispositions and the classification of certain assets as held for sale during the first quarter of 2016. Management believes the resulting comparisons provide useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP measures, allow for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance.
