Interpublic Launches Agentic Systems for Commerce to Help Brands Accelerate and Sustain Profitable Sales Growth Across Channels
New York, NY, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG) today announced the launch of Agentic Systems for Commerce (ASC), a new offering designed to help brands manage the scaled and complex commerce ecosystem in ways that are not possible without automation and artificial intelligence. To optimize commerce performance, ASC leverages Interpublic's proprietary agentic system and is powered by data from Intelligence Node, the transaction data company Interpublic acquired earlier this year. ASC captures data signals for every product and its competitors, including at the SKU and store level, generating actionable intelligence from insights into consumer searches, digital shelf position, product page content, pricing, and inventory levels, and enabling brands to optimize sales and margin performance across digital commerce channels. The new offering will be led by Dr. Jeriad Zoghby, Chief Commerce Strategy Officer at Interpublic, who joined IPG from Accenture in 2023 and has deep experience with the design and integration of large-scale enterprise systems across a variety of sectors. ASC is already being piloted by almost two dozen brands with results to date that have shown double-digit improvements in impressions and sales. 'Agentic Systems for Commerce can help brands compete and succeed in an evolving and demanding marketplace and flatten the cost curve associated with the complex commerce landscape,' said Philippe Krakowsky, CEO at Interpublic. 'We believe ASC can become a new revenue stream for us, and it's another way in which we can use AI to scale our expertise and expand our business beyond our core capabilities of marketing communications and media, into solution sets that deliver quantifiable results.' 'We're seeing strong early momentum with ASC,' said Dr. Zoghby. 'Over 20 CPG brands have already deployed our agentic commerce system. This quick adoption demonstrates our clients' recognition that today's commerce environment demands more than tools, even AI-enabled ones. They need integrated agentic systems that autonomously capture market-wide signals, identify performance opportunities, and execute in real time, enabling brands to move with the speed, precision, and enterprise agility this new era demands.' To support initiatives such as this one, earlier this year Interpublic appointed Yaniv Sarig as the Global Head of AI Commerce and completed the strategic acquisition of Intelligence Node, whose market-wide, real-time signal capabilities power the commerce intelligence and activation at the core of the offering. ASC marks a foundational shift for sales and marketing teams from standalone tools to intelligent systems, allowing brands to move from reactive to adaptive operations, with unified, financially aligned performance across the entire commerce ecosystem. # # # About Interpublic Interpublic (NYSE: IPG) ( ) is a values-based, data-fueled, and creatively-driven provider of marketing solutions.

Ad firm Interpublic beats quarterly estimates on resilient client spending
(Reuters) -Ad group Interpublic surpassed analysts' estimates for second-quarter revenue and profit on Tuesday, thanks to resilient marketing spend from clients, sending its shares up 3% before the bell. The results are the latest sign that ad spending is holding firm in an uncertain economy, after French ad giant Publicis and Omnicom also reported upbeat earnings. Increasing use of AI for creating ads has sparked worries about the industry that has long been the creative voice for brands. Interpublic benefited in the April-June quarter from strong spending from its media and healthcare-focused businesses, as well as growth in its sports marketing and public relations units, CEO Philippe Krakowsky said. The company, which last year signed a $13.25 billion merger with Omnicom to create the world's largest ad agency and better navigate the changing industry landscape, also said it expects the deal to close in the second half of the year. Interpublic's media services are managed through IPG Mediabrands, which includes brands such as Initiative and Mediahub. Its healthcare marketing is managed under the unified IPG Health network. The company reported second-quarter revenue of $2.54 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $2.17 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Its adjusted profit per share of 75 cents also beat the estimate of 56 cents.

RevenueRevenue in the second quarter of 2025 increased $161.8 million, or 4.2%, to $4,015.6 million. Worldwide revenue growth in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 was led by an increase in organic revenue of $116.8 million, or 3.0%. Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue, increased revenue by $2.6 million, or 0.1%. The impact of foreign currency translation increased revenue by $42.4 million, or 1.1%. Organic growth by discipline in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 was as follows: 8.2% for Media & Advertising, 5.0% for Precision Marketing, 2.9% for Experiential, and 1.5% for Execution & Support, partially offset by declines of 9.3% for Public Relations, 4.9% for Healthcare, and 16.9% for Branding & Retail Commerce. Organic growth by region in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 was as follows: 3.0% for the United States, 2.5% for Euro Markets & Other Europe, 6.5% for Asia Pacific, 18.0% for Latin America, 2.4% for Other North America, and 0.9% for the Middle East & Africa, partially offset by a decline of 2.5% for the United Kingdom. ExpensesOperating expenses increased $232.9 million, or 7.0%, to $3,576.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024. Included in operating expenses in the second quarter of 2025 are $66.0 million of costs related to the pending acquisition of The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. ("IPG") and $88.8 million of repositioning costs, primarily related to severance actions related to efficiency initiatives, primarily within the Omnicom Advertising Group and the Omnicom Production Group. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 included $57.8 million of repositioning costs, primarily related to severance. Salary and service costs increased $132.5 million, or 4.7%, to $2,932.6 million. These costs tend to fluctuate with changes in revenue and are comprised of salary and related costs, which include employee compensation and benefits costs and freelance labor, third-party service costs, and third-party incidental costs. Salary and related costs decreased $9.1 million, or 0.5%, to $1,827.8 million, primarily due to our repositioning actions related to severance and changes in our global employee mix, substantially offset by increases related to foreign currency exchange rates. Third-party service costs include third-party supplier costs when we act as principal in providing services to our clients. Third-party incidental costs that are required to be included in revenue primarily consist of client-related travel and incidental out-of-pocket costs, which are billed back to the client directly at our cost. Third-party service costs increased $107.3 million, or 13.2%, to $918.4 million, primarily as a result of organic growth in our Media & Advertising and Precision Marketing disciplines. Third-party incidental costs increased $34.3 million, or 22.6%, to $186.4 million, primarily as a result of organic growth. Occupancy and other costs, which are less directly linked to changes in revenue than salary and service costs, increased $11.7 million, or 3.7%, to $325.9 million. Increased other occupancy costs were driven in part by negative effects from foreign currency exchange rates and were partially offset by lower rent expense in the period. In the second quarter, as a percentage of revenue, occupancy and other costs decreased as compared to the prior period. SG&A expenses increased $59.4 million, or 53.5%, to $170.4 million. Included in SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2025 are $66.0 million of acquisition related costs. Operating IncomeOperating income decreased $71.1 million, or 13.9%, to $439.2 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024, and the related margin decreased to 10.9% from 13.2%. Acquisition related costs and repositioning costs decreased operating margin by 3.9 percentage points in the second quarter of 2025 and repositioning costs decreased operating margin by 1.5 percentage points in the second quarter of 2024. Interest Expense, netNet interest expense in the second quarter of 2025 decreased $1.0 million to $40.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. Interest expense decreased $0.1 million to $62.6 million. Interest income increased $0.9 million to $21.9 million, primarily due to higher average cash balances. Income TaxesOur effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 increased to 30.2% compared to 26.4% for the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for 2025 increased primarily due to the non-deductibility of certain acquisition related costs in 2025. Net Income – Omnicom Group Inc. and Diluted Net Income per ShareNet income - Omnicom Group Inc. for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $70.5 million, or 21.5%, to $257.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share - Diluted for the second quarter of 2025 increased $0.10, or 5.1%, to $2.05 from $1.95. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share - Diluted for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024 excluded $14.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively, of after-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share - Diluted for the second quarter of 2025 also excluded $61.6 million of after-tax acquisition related costs and $67.2 million of after-tax repositioning costs. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share - Diluted for the second quarter of 2024 also excluded $42.9 million of after-tax repositioning costs. We present Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share - Diluted to allow for comparability with the prior year period. EBITAEBITA decreased $72.8 million, or 13.7%, to $459.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024, and the related margin decreased to 11.4% from 13.8%. Adjusted EBITA increased $24.2 million, or 4.1%, to $613.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024, and the related margin was unchanged at 15.3%. EBITA and Adjusted EBITA excluded amortization of acquired intangible assets and internally developed strategic platform assets of $19.8 million and $21.5 million in the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adjusted EBITA also excluded acquisition related costs of $66.0 million and repositioning costs of $88.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 and repositioning costs of $57.8 million in the second quarter of 2024. Risks and UncertaintiesGlobal economic conditions and disruptions, including geopolitical events, international hostilities, acts of terrorism, public health crises, inflation or stagflation, tariffs and other trade barriers, central bank interest rate policies in countries that comprise our major markets, labor and supply chain issues affecting the distribution of our clients' products, or a disruption in the credit markets could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The impact of these issues on our business will vary by geographic market and discipline. We monitor economic conditions and disruptions closely, as well as client revenue levels and other factors. In response to reductions in revenue, we can take actions to align our cost structure with changes in client demand and manage our working capital. However, there can be no assurance as to the effectiveness of our efforts to mitigate any impact of the current and future adverse economic conditions and disruptions, reductions in client revenue, changes in client creditworthiness and other developments. Definitions - Components of Revenue ChangeWe use certain terms in describing the components of the change in revenue above. Foreign exchange rate impact: calculated by translating the current period's local currency revenue using the prior period average exchange rates to derive current period constant currency revenue. The foreign exchange rate impact is the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. Dollars and the current period constant currency revenue. Acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue: Acquisition revenue is calculated as if the acquisition occurred twelve months prior to the acquisition date by aggregating the comparable prior period revenue of acquisitions through the acquisition date. As a result, acquisition revenue excludes the positive or negative difference between our current period revenue subsequent to the acquisition date, and the comparable prior period revenue and the positive or negative growth after the acquisition date is attributed to organic growth. Disposition revenue is calculated as if the disposition occurred twelve months prior to the disposition date by aggregating the comparable prior period revenue of disposals through such date. The acquisition revenue and disposition revenue amounts are netted in the description above. Organic growth: calculated by subtracting the foreign exchange rate impact component and the acquisition revenue, net of disposition revenue component from total revenue growth.

Advertising Giant WPP's Shares Plunge 18% As Economic Uncertainty, AI Threat Dim Forecasts
Shares in London-based advertising giant WPP plunged 18% on Wednesday, stoking broader anxiety about the state of the ad business. The stock settled at $29.34, its lowest point since the onset of Covid in 2020, after lackluster quarterly earnings results and the company's unexpected lowering of profit forecasts. WPP cited a combination of client defections and economic jitters. The sector is facing significant disruption due to AI, which can perform functions like planning, buying and creative execution at a fraction of traditional costs. More from Deadline 'Happy Gilmore 2' Brings Back Subway Plugs, With Chris McDonald's Shooter McGavin As Pitchman Disney & Amazon Advertising Units Team Up: "We're Breaking Down Traditional Barriers Between Content And Commerce" Netflix Adds Yahoo To Its Roster Of Programmatic Advertising Partners Trading volume was nearly eight times its average level, and the plunge followed an equally poor day on the London Stock Exchange, where shares at one point touched a 16-year low. On Wall Street, shares of the two other major agencies traded in New York (Omnicom and Interpublic) each shed 3%. Last December, Omnicom announced its plan to acquire Interpublic, which would create the world's No. 1 agency and leave it, Publicis and WPP as the three surviving majors. The poor financial and stock news came several weeks after a key WPP subsidiary, WPP Media, was abruptly fired by Paramount after two decades of working on its movie studio campaigns and other projects. Coca-Cola has also moved its North American media buying business to Publicis, which also took Mars from WPP. CEO Mark Read, who has said he will step down before the end of the year, told analysts on a conference call that the lowered profit forecast reflected the impact of several client losses along with economic uncertainty. WPP Media, until recently known as GroupM, has faced 'some distractions to the business,' Read said. 'The implementation of the new strategy for WPP Media is going well, but we're clearly not yet seeing that translate into better business performance.' Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snap Inc., was asked in a CNBC interview from the Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley, ID about the tumble for WPP shares and what it means for all advertising stakeholders. 'It's hard to speak specifically about WPP's business,' he said, 'but there's no question it's an uncertain business environment.' When Snap reported quarterly results last spring amid the confusion about President Trump's tariff rollout, it cited 'macro headwinds' hitting its ad business. Investors pummeled the company's shares, which have fallen 46% over the past year. Some large-scale digital ad sellers, for example Meta and YouTube, have managed to remain on a steady growth trajectory. The state of their businesses, and those of other ad industry stakeholders, will become clear over the coming weeks as more media and tech companies report quarterly earnings.
