Omnicom10-Q: Goodwill impairment

Omnicom's weakest reporting unit has a 37% buffer against goodwill impairment amid rising capital costs.

What happened

While no goodwill impairment was recorded, the company disclosed that its weakest reporting unit is within 37% of failing its impairment test. A significant year-over-year increase in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to 13.8%-14.2% is compressing valuations, creating pressure to improve operating margins and cash flow to protect asset values.
