The Interpublic Group Financials
The Interpublic Group (IPG) reported $10.7B in revenue for fiscal year 2024, down 1.8% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Interpublic’s cash generation recovered in FY2024 even as reported margins weakened, showing working capital can outweigh earnings swings.
The least obvious shift is that cash conversion snapped back in FY2024: operating cash flow of$1.1B was about 1.5x net income of$690M , after FY2023 cash flow covered only about half of profit. That reversal, helped by a modest drop in receivables and capex of only$142M , says the business’s working-capital timing can swing far more than its revenue line.
