Net Results
• | Third quarter 2016 net income available to IPG common stockholders was $128.6 million, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.32. This compares to net income available to IPG common stockholders a year ago of $74.9 million, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.18. |
• | As adjusted to primarily exclude a non-operating pre-tax gain of $3.9 million on the sale of businesses, which is chiefly non-cash, in "Other (Expense) Income, net," adjusted net income available to IPG common stockholders would be $124.4 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share would be $0.31 for the third quarter 2016. This compares to adjusted net income available to IPG common stockholders a year ago of $110.2 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.27. |
• | First nine months 2016 net income available to IPG common stockholders was $290.9 million, resulting in earnings of $0.73 per basic share and $0.71 per diluted share. This compares to net income available to IPG common stockholders a year ago of $194.3 million, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.47. |
• | First nine months results include a non-operating pre-tax loss of $16.1 million on the sales of businesses, in "Other (Expense) Income, net," which is chiefly non-cash. The income tax provision includes valuation allowance reversals of $12.2 million as a consequence of the disposition of certain businesses, a benefit of $10.5 million related to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, and a benefit of $23.4 million related to the conclusion and settlement of a tax examination of previous years. Excluding these items, net income available to IPG common stockholders would be $260.5 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.64. This compares to adjusted net income available to IPG common stockholders a year ago of $229.6 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.55. |
"The quarter reflected solid revenue and profit increases, with positive momentum from a broad range of our creative, marketing services and media offerings," said Michael I. Roth, Interpublic's Chairman and CEO. "Our digital capabilities also continued to be very significant drivers of growth, which demonstrates that we remain highly relevant in today's complex media and marketing landscape. Operationally, we once again demonstrated the ability to manage expenses effectively, a key priority for us. Going forward, the overall tone of business remains solid and, in light of the strength of our offerings and our organic revenue performance through nine months, we believe it's appropriate to raise our full-year organic growth target to a range of 4 to 5 percent. We also feel that we remain well-positioned to achieve 2016 operating margin expansion of 50 basis points or more. Combined with the strength of our balance sheet and our proven commitment to robust capital return programs, which have been a source of significant value creation, this will allow us to further enhance shareholder value."

Cautionary Statement
Page 33
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.
