Loss on Assets Held for Sale or Dispositions of Subsidiaries [Abstract]  
Loss on Assets Held for Sale or Dispositions of Subsidiaries Loss on Assets Held for Sale or Dispositions of Subsidiaries
During the fourth quarter of 2025, management determined that the assets and liabilities of certain businesses planned for disposition in the next twelve months, primarily within the Advertising and Experiential & Other (formerly, Execution & Support) disciplines, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Accordingly, these businesses were recorded at net realizable value - fair value less cost to sell. The disposals do not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation.
In the first quarter of 2026, we recorded impairment charges of $34.3 million to write down the businesses identified for disposition to net realizable value. Fair value was determined using discounted cash flow analyses, supplemented by observable market inputs where available. These charges were recorded in loss on assets held for sale and dispositions in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, we closed on the sale of certain legacy IPG businesses and recorded an adjustment to goodwill (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).
The following table presents the major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and included in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately within current assets and current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026.
