Philippe Krakowsky, CEO of IPG:
“As is evident in our results, the combination of strategy, talent and culture we have built at IPG continues to drive a high level of innovation, collaboration and creativity. Our strong performance reflects more than the cyclical economic recovery, it further validates the growing role we are playing with marketers as they adapt and enhance their businesses to meet the challenges and opportunities of the digital economy.
“Clients are increasingly looking for partners with expertise in first-party data management, performance media, creative ad tech and direct-to-consumer commerce, areas in which we remain very well-positioned. During the quarter and throughout the year, our best-in-class agency brands increasingly tapped into IPG’s foundational technology and data layer. Across marketing disciplines, channels and use cases, our combination of data, technology and creativity is resulting in a growing range of effective marketing and media solutions that help our clients to grow their brands and build their businesses.
“As we look ahead, we anticipate that 2022 will be another year of strong growth, on top of our multi-year, industry-leading performance. As such, we are targeting full-year organic growth of 5% in 2022. With that level of growth, we expect that in 2022 we will consolidate the significant gains achieved in adjusted EBITA margin over the past two years, at a level of approximately 16.6%. Our commitment to a strong balance sheet and financial flexibility remains a key priority, and the actions announced by our Board today, to increase our dividend and resume our share repurchase program, further speak to confidence in the forward trajectory of our company. Our strong financial foundation and performance, coupled with the talent of our people and the competitiveness of our offerings, will be key to our continued focus on further enhancing value for all of our stakeholders.”

Operating Expenses
For the fourth quarter of 2021, total operating expenses excluding billable expenses increased by 1.5%, compared to a net revenue increase of 11.6% for the same period in 2020. Total operating expenses excluding both billable expenses and restructuring charges increased by 15.0%.

Staff cost ratio, which is total salaries and related expenses as a percentage of net revenue, was 62.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 58.9% in the same period in 2020. For the full year 2021, staff cost ratio was 65.6%, compared to 66.3% in the same period in 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2021, salaries and related expenses were $1.59 billion, an increase of 17.8% compared to the same period in 2020. For the full year 2021, salaries and related expenses was $5.98 billion, an increase of 11.8% compared to 2020. The increase in staff cost ratio as a percentage of net revenue in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by increases in performance-based employee incentive compensation expense as a result of strong operating performance, severance expense and temporary help expense supporting our revenue growth. The decrease in staff cost ratio as a percentage of net revenue for the full year 2021, was primarily driven by leverage in base salaries, benefits and tax that includes the benefit of initiatives taken during 2020, as well as lower severance expense, partially offset by increased performance-based employee incentive compensation expense, as a result of strong operating performance and increased temporary help expense.
For the fourth quarter office and other direct expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 15.1% compared to 16.0% for the same period in 2020.

For the full year 2021, office and other direct expenses were $1.28 billion, a decrease of 6.5% compared to 2020. The increase in office and other direct expenses for the fourth quarter was related to increases in travel and entertainment expenses, client service costs and employee recruitment costs, partially offset by lower bad debt expense attributable to an improved credit outlook over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in office and other direct expenses for the full year 2021 was related to savings on occupancy expense as a result of real estate restructuring actions taken in 2020, a reduction in the year-over-year change in contingent acquisition obligations, lower travel and entertainment expenses and lower bad debt expense attributable to an improved credit outlook over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in employee recruitment costs.
For the fourth quarter of 2021, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 1.3% from 1.0% in 2020. For the full year 2021 selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 1.3%, from 0.7% in 2020.

For the full year 2021, selling, general and administrative expenses were $122.3 million compared to $58.8 million for the same period in 2020. The increase for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 was primarily attributable to increases in performance-based employee incentive compensation expense and base salaries, benefits and tax.
For the fourth quarter and full year 2021, depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net revenue was 3.0% and 3.1%, respectively, compared to 3.2% and 3.6%, respectively, for the same periods in 2020.

Restructuring charges were $253.9 million and $413.8 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively.
