Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 27, 2004, Omnicom Group Inc. (“Omnicom”) issued an earnings release reporting its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. A copy of this earnings release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. Following the issuance of this earnings release, Omnicom hosted an earnings call in which its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 were discussed. The investor presentation materials used for the call are attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.

On July 27, 2004, Omnicom posted the materials attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 on its web site (www.omnicomgroup.com).

As discussed on page 1 of Exhibit 99.2, the investor presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are present expectations, and are subject to the limitations listed therein and in Omnicom’s other SEC reports, including that actual events or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

The investor presentation includes information on traditional return on equity, which for the amounts shown for 2000 excludes a non-recurring gain. As a result of this exclusion, this presentation is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under applicable SEC rules and regulations. The investor presentation includes explanations of why management believes the presentations of the non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors, as well as a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP financial measures.

The foregoing information (including the exhibits hereto) is being furnished under “Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure” and “Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” Such information (including the exhibits hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The filing of this Report and the furnishing of this information pursuant to Items 9 and 12 (including the investor presentation) do not mean that such information is material or that disclosure of such information is required.
