Omnicom (OMC) Q1 Earnings and Revenues Beat Estimates, Rise Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC - Free Report) reported impressive first-quarter 2023 results, wherein its earnings and revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Earnings of $1.56 per share beat the consensus estimate by 13% and our estimates by 11.4%. EPS increased 12.2% year over year. Total revenues of $3.4 billion surpassed the consensus estimate by 2.3% and our estimate by 1.4%. The top line increased 1% year over year.
The increase in the top line resulted from an increase of 5.2% in revenues from organic growth, partially offset by a negative impact of 3.2% due to foreign currency translations and a 1% fall in acquisition revenues, net of disposition revenues.
In the quarter, Omnicom witnessed broad-based growth across disciplines, regions and client sectors. Advertising & Media, Precision Marketing and Public Relations were the largest contributors to this growth.
The company’s shares have gained 18.9% over the past year against the 1% decline of the industry it belongs to and the 7.6% decline of the Zacks S&P 500 composite.
Across fundamental disciplines, revenues from Advertising & Media were up 5.1%, Precision marketing revenues jumped 7%, Execution & Support revenues increased 3.6% and Commerce and Brand Consulting revenues were up 3.3%. Experiential revenues improved 8.4%, Public Relations revenues increased 5.8% and Healthcare revenues increased 4.8%, organically, year over year.
