Interpublic Announces Second Quarter and First Half 2021 Results
• Second quarter net revenue was $2.27 billion, an increase of 22.5% from a year ago, with organic growth of 19.8%
• Net income was $263.3 million, with adjusted EBITA before restructuring charges of $405.8 million and margin of 17.9% on net revenue
• Second quarter diluted EPS was $0.66 as reported, and $0.70 as adjusted compared with $0.23 a year ago
• Company upgrades expectation for FY 2021 financial performance to organic growth of 9%-10% and adjusted EBITA margin of approximately 16.0%, with continued progress on public health and sustained macro recovery
Philippe Krakowsky, CEO of IPG:
“Our performance this quarter is highlighted by very strong revenue growth across agencies, disciplines and world regions, and by outstanding margin performance. These results represent a remarkable rebound from the impact of the pandemic on our business, demonstrating the resilience of our people, as well as their commitment to each other, our clients, and our craft.”
“Our results this quarter compare favorably not only to the same period last year – which while the steepest decrease of the recession was well ahead of our peer group – but also Q2 of 2019, which underscores the continued evolution and vitality of our offerings. Strategic decisions we have taken over a number of years to combine our world-class creative storytelling capabilities with our ability to deliver addressable and accountable data-powered marketing programs position us well for the future. Ultimately, our growth speaks to our role as a high value partner that helps marketers to drive sustained business results."
“As we emerge from the pandemic, we continue to focus on the health and well-being of our people. This includes a focus on equity and inclusion, as well as a long-term commitment across the ESG spectrum, including climate change, responsible data stewardship, digital media and brand safety practices."
“In light of our very strong second quarter, we believe it’s appropriate at the mid-point of this unprecedented year to upgrade our expectations for full year performance. While doing so, we also recognize that the COVID pandemic continues to pose a risk to the macro environment in many parts of the world. Predicated on continued progress on public health issues, we believe we can deliver organic growth for the full year of 9%-10%, and, with that level of growth, we

would expect to achieve 2021 adjusted EBITA margin of approximately 16.0%. As such, we see this as another year of strong value creation for all of our stakeholders.”

ago. For the first half of 2021, total operating expenses, excluding billable expenses, decreased by 1.1% compared to the net revenue increase of 12.3% from the same period a year ago.
Staff cost ratio, which is total salaries and related expenses as a percentage of net revenue, decreased to 65.4% in the second quarter of 2021 from 70.5% in the same period in 2020, and decreased to 67.0% in the first half of 2021 from 71.3% in the same period in 2020.

Salaries and related expenses increased 5.5% to $2.88 billion during the first half of 2021, compared to $2.73 billion for the same period in 2020. The decreases in staff cost ratio as a percentage of net revenue in the second quarter and first half of 2021 were primarily driven by leverage on base salaries, benefits and tax, partially offset by increased incentive expense, primarily related to better than projected performance, and increased temporary help expense. The decrease was also driven by lower severance expense as a result of initiatives taken in the comparable prior-year quarter.
Office and other direct expenses decreased as a percentage of net revenue to 13.3% during the second quarter of 2021, compared to 17.1% a year ago, and decreased as a percentage of net revenue to 13.8% during the first half of 2021, compared to 18.2% a year ago.

In the first half of 2021, office and other direct expenses were $593.9 million, a decrease of 14.6% compared to the same period in 2020. The change was mainly driven by lower bad debt expense and a year-over-year change in contingent acquisition obligations, as well as savings on occupancy expense as a result of real estate restructuring actions taken in 2020.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net revenue to 1.3% during the second quarter of 2021, compared to 0.2% during the same period in 2020, and increased as a percentage of net revenue to 1.3% during the first half of 2021, compared to 0.7% during the same period in 2020. The change was primarily due to increases in incentive expense and employee insurance expense.
Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 3.1% during the second quarter of 2021, compared to 3.9% a year ago, and decreased to 3.2% during the first half of 2021, compared to 3.8% a year ago. During the second quarter of 2021, depreciation and amortization was $70.1 million, a decrease of 4.1% compared to the same period in 2020.

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: ▪ the effects of a challenging economy on the demand for our advertising and marketing services, on our clients’ financial condition and on our business or financial condition; ▪ the impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and, the measures to contain its spread, including social distancing efforts and restrictions on businesses, social activities and travel, any failure to realize anticipated benefits from the rollout of COVID-19 vaccination campaigns and the resulting impact on the economy, our clients and demand for our services, which may precipitate or exacerbate other risks and uncertainties; ▪ 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; ▪ developments from changes in the regulatory and legal environment for advertising and marketing and communications services companies around the world, including laws and regulations related to data protection and consumer privacy; and ▪ failure to fully realize the anticipated benefits of our 2020 restructuring actions and other cost-saving initiatives. Investors should carefully consider these factors and the additional risk factors outlined in more detail under Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our other SEC filings.
