Severance and repositioning costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $47.0 million and $51.1 million, respectively, and consist primarily of severance and employee-related termination benefits, as well as real estate repositioning costs. Severance and repositioning costs reflect integration related actions and adjustments to estimates for actions taken during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to the Merger.
In connection with our strategic initiatives, operating expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included $88.8 million ($67.2 million after-tax) of repositioning costs, primarily related to severance actions related to efficiency initiatives, primarily within the Omnicom Advertising Group and the Omnicom Production Group.
The following table summarizes activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026 related to adjustments to liabilities for severance and contract terminations and other, which are expected to be settled in cash. In addition, real estate write-downs of $1.4 million were recorded during the period, which is a non-cash charge.
