AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (a) In the opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, the consolidated statements of income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, contain all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 1995 and for all periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc.'s (the "Company") December 31, 1994 annual report to stockholders. (b) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 95 "Statement of Cash Flows" requires disclosures of specific cash payments and noncash investing and financing activities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Income tax cash payments were approximately $40.3 million and $46.5 million in the first six months of 1995 and 1994, respectively. Interest payments during the first six months of 1995 were approximately $12.4 million. Interest payments during the comparable period of 1994 were approximately $10.0 million. (c) Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" and recorded a one-time pre- tax charge of $39.6 million or $21.8 million after-tax. As of June 30, 1995 deferred compensation and reserve for termination allowances includes approximately $40.0 million of postemployment benefits. 8 PAGE Exhibit 11 THE INTERPUBLIC GROUP OF COMPANIES, INC.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital at June 30, 1995 was $109.7 million, an increase of $29.6 million from December 31, 1994. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 1994 at approximately 1.0 to 1. During 1994, Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (the "Company") acquired Western International Media Corporation and Ammirati & Puris Holding, Inc. In April 1995, the Company acquired all the assets of Newspaper Services of America, Inc. The purchase price was approximately $7 million. In April 1995, the Company along with the management of Campbell Mithun Esty (CME) acquired substantially all of the assets of CME. The purchase price for Interpublic's share was $20.0 million. The Company, together with the management of Campbell Mithun Esty, will operate CME going forward on a 50/50 basis. Historically, cash flow from operations has been the primary source of working capital and management believes that it will continue to be in the future. The principal use of the Company's working capital is to provide for the operating needs of its advertising agencies, which include payments for space or time purchased from various media on behalf of its clients. The Company's practice is to bill and collect from its clients in sufficient time to pay the amounts due media. Other uses of working capital include the payment of cash dividends, acquisitions, capital expenditures and the reduction of long-term debt. In addition, during the first six months of 1995, the Company acquired 824,241 shares of its own stock for approximately $28.1 million for the purposes of fulfilling the Company's obligations under its various compensation plans. 11 PAGE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1994 Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased $53.6 million, or 11.2%, to $534.4 million compared to the same period in 1994. Domestic revenue increased $16.6 million or 9.9% from 1994 levels. Foreign revenue increased $37.0 million or 11.8% during the second quarter of 1995 compared to 1994. Other income increased by $6.0 million during the second quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. Operating expenses increased $39.3 million or 9.9% during the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. Interest expense increased 10.2% as compared to the same period in 1994. Pretax income increased $19.5 million or 21.1% during the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. The increase in total revenue, operating expenses, and pretax income is primarily due to acquired companies' results of operations. In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $48.7 million in connection with the elimination of duplicate facilities and excess personnel resulting primarily from the merger of Lintas New York and Ammirati & Puris agencies and certain international offices. Second quarter 1995 salary savings realized from the restructuring amounted to approximately $5.5 million. Net losses from exchange and translation of foreign currencies for the three months ended June 30, 1995 were approximately $1.3 million versus $3.8 million for the same period in 1994. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was 42.4%, as compared to 42.6% in 1994. The decrease in the effective tax rate is mainly due to the geographic mix of earnings. The difference between the effective and statutory rates is primarily due to foreign losses with no tax benefit, losses from translation of foreign currencies which provided no tax benefit, state and local taxes, foreign withholding taxes on dividends and nondeductible goodwill expense. Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased $96.8 million, or 10.9%, to $981.9 million compared to the same period in 1994. Domestic revenue increased $27.6 million or 8.6% from 1994 levels. Foreign revenue increased $69.1 million or 12.3% during the first six months of 1995 compared to 1994. Other income increased $2.4 million in the first six months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. Operating expenses increased $75.2 million or 9.6% during the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. Interest expense increased 10.4% during the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same six month period in 1994. Pretax income increased $22.3 million or 19.1% during the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. 12 PAGE The increase in total revenue, operating expenses, and pretax income is primarily due to acquired companies' results of operations. In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $48.7 million in connection with the elimination of duplicate facilities and excess personnel resulting primarily from the merger of Lintas New York and Ammirati & Puris agencies and certain international offices. At December 31, 1994 the Company's liability related to these restructuring charges totalled $27.6 million for severance. The remaining liability at June 30, 1995 is $6.5 million for severance. Total salary savings for the six months ended June 30, 1995 realized from the restructuring amounted to approximately $8.9 million. The Company expects to realize additional salary savings from restructuring of approximately $10.1 million during the remainder of 1995. Net losses from exchange and translation of foreign currencies for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were approximately $2.1 million versus $9.4 million for the same period in 1994. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was 42.5%, as compared to 42.6% in 1994. The decrease in the effective tax rate is mainly due to the geographic mix of earnings. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
