Omnicom (OMC) Q3 Earnings Surpass Estimates, Revenues Miss

Zacks Equity Research

Omnicom Group Inc. OMC reported mixed third-quarter 2019 results wherein its earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues missed the same.

Total revenues of $3.6 billion missed the consensus estimate by $13 million and decreased 2.4% year over year on a reported basis. The year-over-year decrease was due to negative foreign exchange rate impact of 1.5% and decline in acquisition revenues, net of disposition revenues of 3.1%, offset by organic revenue growth of 2.2%.

Shares of Omnicom have gained 12.3% over the past year, against 8.6% decline of the industry it belongs to.
