Forward - looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “could,” “wou ld,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or similar words, phrases or expressions. The se forward - looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the Company’s control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ ma terially from those in the forward - looking statements include: international, national or local economic, social or political conditions that could adversely affect the Company or it s clients; losses on media purchases and production costs incurred on behalf of clients; reductions in client spending, a slowdown in client payments and changes in client advertising, marketing and corporate communications requirements; failure to manage potential conflicts of interest between or among clients; unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in the advertising, marketing and corporate communications industries ; ability to hire and retain key personnel; ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients in the manner anticipated; reliance on information technology systems; changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting the Company or its clients; conditions in the credit markets; risks associated with assumptions the Company makes in connection with its critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; and the Company’s international operations, which are subject to the risks of currency fluctuation and currency repatriation restrictions.

Non - GAAP Financial Measures We present financial measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“G AAP ”) and adjustments to the GAAP presentation (“Non - GAAP”), which we believe are meaningful for understanding our performance. Non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation f rom, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP. Non - GAAP financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported b y other companies. We provide a reconciliation of non - GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures on pages 25, 26, 32 and 33. The Non - GAAP measures used in this presentation include the following: Net Free Cash Flow, defined as Free Cash Flow (defined below) less the Primary Uses of Cash (defined below). Net Free Cash Fl ow is one of the metrics used by us to assess our sources and uses of cash and was derived from our consolidated statements of cash flows. We believe that this presentation is meaningful for unde rst anding our primary sources and primary uses of that cash flow. Free Cash Flow, defined as net income plus depreciation, amortization, share based compensation expense less other non - cash items to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities. Primary Uses of Cash, defined as dividends to common shareholders, dividends paid to non - controlling interest shareholders, capital expenditures , cash paid on acquisitions, payments for additional interest in controlled subsidiaries and stock repurchases, net of the proceeds and excess tax benefit from our stock plans, and excludes changes in wor king capital and other investing and financing activities, including commercial paper issuances and redemptions used to fund working capital changes. EBITDA, defined as operating income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is meaningful be cau se the financial covenants in our credit facilities are based on EBITDA. EBITA, defined as operating income before interest, taxes and amortization. We use EBITA as an additional operating performan ce measure, which excludes acquisition - related amortization expense, because we believe that EBITA is a useful measure to evaluate the performance of our businesses. Net Debt, defined as total debt less cash, cash equivalents and short - term investments. We believe net debt, together with the c omparable GAAP measures, reflects one of the metrics used by us to assess our cash management. After Tax Reported Operating Income, defined as reported operating income less income taxes calculated using the effective ta x r ate for the applicable period. 2013 Non - GAAP figures. These amounts exclude expenses incurred (and the associated impact on income taxes and net income) in connection wit h O mnicom’s terminated merger with Publicis, and are comprised primarily of professional fees. We believe that this “ Non - GAAP ” presentation allows for a more meaningful understanding of our performance .
