Omnicom Q3 results show organic revenue growth of 7.2% for the quarter ended 30 September 2026, its third straight quarter of acceleration since closing the Interpublic acquisition in November 2025.

  • Core revenue: $6.01 billion, up 7.3%
  • Organic growth: 7.2%, after 3.9% in Q1 and 6.1% in Q2
  • Core adjusted EBITA margin: 18.2%, against 16.2%
  • Adjusted diluted EPS: $2.73, up 22%

What Drove Omnicom Q3

Core revenue, which strips out businesses being sold and compares against combined Omnicom and IPG figures for 2025, rose to $6,010.7 million from $5,603.3 million, according to the company's third-quarter release. Almost all of the increase was organic; currency and acquisitions added 0.1 percentage points each.

Integrated media was by far the largest discipline at $3.2 billion, or 53% of core revenue, followed by advertising at $935.4 million, public relations at $678.3 million, experiential and other at $644.3 million, and health at $566.6 million.

By region, the United States accounted for 60.2% of core revenue at $3.62 billion. Asia Pacific contributed $573.1 million, or 9.6%. India is not broken out separately.

Margins And Earnings

Core adjusted EBITA rose 21.1% to $1,096.2 million. On a reported basis, revenue was $6.42 billion including businesses held for sale, net income attributable to Omnicom was $656 million, and diluted EPS was $2.38 against $1.75 a year earlier.

"We've strengthened our competitive position and are on track to deliver $900 million in cost-reduction synergies in 2026," said John Wren, chairman and chief executive officer, Omnicom.

What Comes Next

Wren said the integration is nearly complete and the portfolio streamlined, with the company focused on high-demand services and continued investment in people and agentic technology. Omnicom has bought back $3.2 billion of shares so far this year under a $5 billion authorisation and expects to conclude its few remaining disposals in the near term. It did not issue numeric guidance.
