"Across the board, 2016 was a successful year, in which we posted strong financial results, continued to build our digital and integrated offerings, and garnered the highest level of recognition for the creativity and effectiveness of our work in over a decade. We grew organically in every region of the world, with notably strong performance in the U.S., and with broad participation from across our agencies, disciplines and client sectors,” said Michael I. Roth, Interpublic’s Chairman and CEO. "Digital activity across the portfolio continues to be a significant driver of our results. We are well positioned to keep innovating, and to remain a vital partner in helping our clients navigate the complex marketing media environment. Of course,
Interpublic Group 909 Third Avenue New York, NY 10022 212-704-1200 tel 212-704-1201 fax
we also demonstrated our continued ability to focus on and deliver improved profitability. Margin expansion and capital returns are powerful drivers of value for Interpublic going forward.”
Commenting on 2017 targets, Mr. Roth added, "Given our positive market momentum - having just concluded a three-year period of industry-leading organic revenue growth - we believe a competitive target of 3%-4% on this key metric is appropriate for 2017. We are also targeting an additional 50 basis points of operating margin improvement. We have a strong balance sheet and a commitment to returning capital to our owners, which is underscored by the actions our board announced today to increase the dividend and allocate additional funds for share repurchase. Combined with the breadth and strength of our professional offerings, there remains significant potential for enhancing shareholder value in the years to come.”

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;
