"We are pleased to report another quarter of solid revenue and profit increases that position us to achieve our financial objectives.

Roth, Interpublic's Chairman and CEO. "During the quarter, we once again saw contributions from a broad range of our creative, marketing services and media agencies, and our digital capabilities across the group were significant drivers of growth. The high caliber of our people and the effectiveness of our offerings on behalf of clients are what have fueled our strong organic revenue growth during the first half of this year. Going forward, we will stay vigilant in terms of costs, and continue to focus on achieving the appropriate levels of profit conversion. We also remain committed to our robust capital return programs, which have been significant incremental drivers of shareholder value creation."

(1) The following table reconciles our reported results to our adjusted non-GAAP results that exclude the losses on
sales of businesses in our international markets, primarily in Continental Europe, the effect of the adoption of ASU
2016-09 and the release of reserves related to the conclusion and settlement of a tax examination of previous tax
years. 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.

Cautionary Statement
Page 32
This investor presentation contains forward-looking statements. Statements in this investor presentation that are
not historical facts, including statements about management’s beliefs and expectations, constitute forward-looking
statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and are subject to change
based on a number of factors, including those outlined in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item
1A, Risk Factors. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no
obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, but
are not limited to, the following:
➔ potential effects of a challenging economy, for example, on the demand for our advertising and
marketing services, on our clients’ financial condition and on our business or financial condition;
➔ our ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients;
➔ our ability to retain and attract key employees;
➔ risks associated with assumptions we make in connection with our critical accounting estimates,
including changes in assumptions associated with any effects of a weakened economy;
➔ potential adverse effects if we are required to recognize impairment charges or other adverse
accounting-related developments;
➔ risks associated with the effects of global, national and regional economic and political conditions,
including counterparty risks and fluctuations in economic growth rates, interest rates and currency
exchange rates; and
➔ developments from changes in the regulatory and legal environment for advertising and marketing
and communications services companies around the world.
Investors should carefully consider these factors and the additional risk factors outlined in more detail in our most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 1A, Risk Factors.
