Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Advantage Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) is a provider of outsourced solutions to consumer goods companies and retailers. The Company’s Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “ADV” and warrants to purchase the Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “ADVWW”.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at that date and does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the results as of June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related footnotes thereto. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the remainder of the current year or for any future period.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Beginning in March 2020 and continuing through the first quarter of 2021, the Company's services experienced the most severe effects from reductions in client spending due to the economic impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic. While mixed by services and geography, the spending reductions impacted all of the Company's services and markets. Globally, the most impacted services were the Company's experiential services. Most services began to recover in April 2021, and the recovery has continued through the second quarter of 2022.

Impact of the War in Ukraine

The Company has a minority interest in a European company that has majority-ownership interests in local agencies in Russia. During the first quarter of 2022, the war in Ukraine resulted in the imposition of sanctions by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, that affect the cross-border operations of businesses operating in Russia. In addition, Russian regulators have imposed currency restrictions and regulations that created uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to recover its investment in operations in Russia, as well as the Company's ability to exercise control or influence over operations by the local agencies in Russia. As a result, the Company intends to use its influence to cause the European company to dispose of its ownership interests in the local agencies in Russia. Accordingly, the Company recorded pretax charges of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2022, primarily consisting of its proportionate share of the net investment in its Russian interest in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Recent Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted by the Company

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on

Financial Reporting. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective for reporting periods that include or are subsequent to March 12, 2020 and must be applied prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships through December 31, 2022. On April 1, 2022, the Company adopted the standard prospectively and determined that the adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP, simplifies the contract settlement assessment for equity classification, requires the use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and expands disclosure requirements. The adoption of this accounting standard, under the full retrospective method, did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and use of the if-converted method did not have an impact on the Company's overall earnings per share calculation.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The guidance clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting of an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption and the adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This update requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The guidance is applied prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendments that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted by the Company

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 606): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements, if the acquiree prepared financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The amendment in this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The guidance should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment in this update. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

All other new accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective or adopted have been deemed to be not relevant to the Company and, accordingly, are not expected to have a material impact once adopted.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

2. Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of promised goods or services are transferred to the client in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such goods or services. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts with clients involve the transfer of a service to the client, which represents a performance obligation that is satisfied over time because the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services provided. In most cases, the contracts consist of a performance obligation that is comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). For these contracts, the Company allocates the ratable portion of the consideration based on the services provided in each period of service to such period.

Revenues related to the sales segment are primarily recognized in the form of commissions, fee-for-service, or on a cost-plus basis for providing headquarter relationship management, analytics, insights and intelligence services, administrative services, retail merchandising services, retailer-client relationships and in-store media programs, and digital technology solutions (which include business intelligence solutions, e-commerce services, and content services).

Marketing segment revenues are primarily recognized in the form of fee-for-service (including retainer fees, fees charged to clients based on hours incurred, project-based fees, or fees for executing in-person consumer engagements or experiences, which engagements or experiences the Company refers to as “events”), commissions, or on a cost-plus basis for providing experiential marketing, shopper and consumer marketing services, private label development and digital, social, and media services.

The Company disaggregates revenues from contracts with clients by reportable segment. Revenues within each segment are further disaggregated between brand-centric services and retail-centric services. Brand-centric services are centered on providing solutions to support manufacturers’ sales and marketing strategies. Retail-centric services are centered on providing solutions to retailers.

Disaggregated revenues were as follows:

3. Acquisitions

2022 Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company acquired a sales business and two marketing businesses. The acquisitions were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the purchase consideration for each acquired business was allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities

assumed based upon their respective fair values. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination were recorded on the Company’s financial statements as of the acquisition date based upon the estimated fair value at such date. The excess of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the excess purchase price was based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and is subject to post-close adjustments to working capital. Accordingly, the measurement period for such purchase price allocations will end when the information, or the facts and circumstances, becomes available, but will not exceed twelve months. The results of operations of each acquired business have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) since its respective date of acquisition.

The aggregate purchase price for the acquisitions referenced above was $68.9 million, which includes $67.6 million paid in cash, $0.5 million recorded as contingent consideration liabilities, and $0.8 million recorded as holdback amounts. Contingent consideration payments are determined based on future financial performance and payment obligations (as defined in the applicable purchase agreement) and are recorded at fair value. The maximum potential payment outcome related to the acquisitions is $1.6 million. Holdback amounts are used to withhold a portion of the initial purchase price payment until certain post-closing conditions are satisfied and are typically settled within 18 months of the acquisition. The goodwill related to the acquisitions represented the value paid for the assembled workforce, geographic presence, and expertise. Of the resulting goodwill relating to these acquisitions, $0.8 million is deductible for tax purposes.

The preliminary fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as of the applicable acquisition dates, are as follows:


(in thousands)

The operating results of the businesses acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2022 contributed total revenues of $8.0 million and $8.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The

Company has determined that the presentation of net income from the date of acquisition is impracticable due to the integration of the operations upon acquisition. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred immaterial amounts in transaction costs related to the acquisitions described above. These costs have been included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

2021 Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company acquired three sales businesses. The acquisitions were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the purchase consideration for each acquired business was allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination were recorded on the Company’s financial statements as of the acquisition date based upon the estimated fair value at such date. The excess of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the excess purchase price was based upon estimates and assumptions. The results of operations of each acquired business has been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) since its respective date of acquisition.

The aggregate purchase price for the acquisitions referenced above was $27.0 million, which includes $20.4 million paid in cash, $5.1 million recorded as contingent consideration liabilities, and $1.4 million recorded as holdback amounts. Contingent consideration payments are determined based on future financial performance and payment obligations (as defined in the applicable purchase agreement) and are recorded at fair value. The maximum potential payment outcome related to the acquisitions is $13.5 million. Holdback amounts are used to withhold a portion of the initial purchase price payment until certain post-closing conditions are satisfied and are typically settled within 18 months of the acquisition. The goodwill related to the acquisitions represented the value paid for the assembled workforce, geographic presence, and expertise. Of the resulting goodwill relating to these acquisitions, $9.0 million is deductible for tax purposes.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value, categorized by input level within the fair value hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2022, $36.7 million of fair value of the Company’s outstanding interest rate caps were included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recognized as a component of “Interest expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of December 31, 2021, $10.2 million and $0.4 million of the Company’s fair value of outstanding interest rate caps were included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other accrued expenses” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of “Interest expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a gain of $5.6 million and a loss of $1.2 million, respectively, within Interest expense, net, related to changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded gains of $26.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, within Interest expense, net, related to changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments.

Forward Contracts

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had open euro forward contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure on a total of €22.1 million with maturities in fiscal year 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no open euro forward contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the changes in fair value of the forward contracts were $1.7 million for both periods.

Warrant Liability

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 7,333,333 private placement warrants, which were owned by Conyers Park II Sponsor LLC (“CP Sponsor”), remained outstanding at fair value of $1.8 million and $22.2

million, respectively. The warrant liability was remeasured to fair value with adjustment of $4.9 million and $20.4 million reflected in “Change in fair value of warrant liability” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The warrant liability was remeasured to fair value with adjustments of $7.1 million and $1.5 million reflected in “Change in fair value of warrant liability” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The warrant liability is stated at fair value at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) until the warrants are exercised, expire or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified as an equity instrument.

The Company previously valued its private placement warrants using a Black-Scholes Model. The private placement warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, they are classified as Level 2 based on the period of time the public warrants have been trading. The Company determined the fair value of the liability classified private placement warrants by approximating the value with the share price of the public warrants which is inherently less subjective and judgmental given it is based on observable inputs. Therefore, the value of the private placement warrants are measured at an indirectly observable quoted price in active markets for the public warrants. Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs.

Contingent Consideration Liabilities

During each reporting period, the Company measures the fair value of its contingent liabilities by evaluating the significant unobservable inputs and probability weightings using Monte Carlo simulations. Any resulting decreases or increases in the fair value result in a corresponding gain or loss reported in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

As of June 30, 2022, the maximum potential payment outcomes were $148.1 million. The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying value of estimated contingent consideration liabilities:


	June 30,

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Some of these legal matters purport or may be determined to be class and/or representative actions, or seek substantial damages, or penalties. The Company has accrued amounts in connection with certain legal matters, including with respect to certain of the matters described below. There can be no assurance, however, that these accruals will be sufficient to cover such matters or other legal matters or that such matters or other legal matters will not materially or adversely affect the Company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Employment Matters

The Company has also been involved in various litigation, including purported class or representative actions with respect to matters arising under the California Labor Code and Private Attorneys General Act. The Company has retained outside counsel to represent it in these matters and is vigorously defending its interests.

Legal Matters Related to Take 5

On April 1, 2018, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed liabilities of Take 5 Media Group (“Take 5”). In June 2019, as a result of a review of internal allegations related to inconsistency of data provided by Take 5 to its clients, the Company commenced an investigation into Take 5’s operations. In July 2019, as a result of the Company’s investigation, the Company determined that revenue during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 attributable to the Take 5 business had been recognized for services that were not performed on behalf of clients of Take 5 and that inaccurate reports were made to Take 5 clients about those services (referred to as the “Take 5 Matter”). As a result of these findings, in July 2019, the Company terminated all operations of Take 5, including the use of its associated trade names and the offering of its services to its clients and offered refunds to Take 5 clients of collected revenues attributable to Take 5 since the Company’s acquisition of Take 5.

USAO and FBI Voluntary Disclosure and Investigation Related to Take 5

The Company voluntarily disclosed to the United States Attorney’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation certain misconduct occurring at Take 5, a line of business that the Company closed in July 2019. The Company intends to cooperate in this and any other governmental investigations that may arise in connection with the Take 5 Matter. At this time, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any investigation related to the Take 5 Matter and is unable to estimate the potential impact such an investigation may have on the Company.

Arbitration Proceedings Related to Take 5

In August 2019, as a result of the Take 5 Matter, the Company provided a written indemnification claim notice to the sellers of Take 5 (the “Take 5 Sellers”) seeking monetary damages (including interest, fees and costs) based on allegations of breach of the asset purchase agreement (the “Take 5 APA”), as well as fraud. In September 2019, the Take 5 Sellers initiated arbitration proceedings against the Company, alleging breach of the Take 5 APA as a result of the Company’s decision to terminate the operations of the Take 5 business, and seeking monetary damages equal to all unpaid earn-out payments under the Take 5 APA (plus interest, fees and costs). In 2020, the Take 5 sellers amended their statement of claim to allege defamation, relating to statements the Company made to customers in connection with terminating the operations of the Take 5 business, and seeking monetary damages for the alleged injury to their reputation. The Company filed its response to the Take 5 Sellers’ claims, and asserted indemnification, fraud and other claims against the Take 5 Sellers as counterclaims and cross-claims in the arbitration proceedings. In August 2022, the arbitrator made an interim award in favor of the Company. The Company is currently unable to estimate if or when it will be able to collect any amounts associated with this arbitration.

Other Legal Matters Related to Take 5

The Take 5 Matter may result in additional litigation against the Company, including lawsuits from clients, or governmental investigations, which may expose the Company to potential liability in excess of the amounts being offered by the Company as refunds to Take 5 clients. The Company is currently unable to determine the amount of

any potential liability, costs or expenses (above the amounts already being offered as refunds) that may result from any lawsuits or investigations associated with the Take 5 Matter or determine whether any such issues will have any future material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. Although the Company has insurance covering certain liabilities, the insurance may not be sufficient to cover any potential liability or expenses associated with the Take 5 Matter.

Stock-Based Compensation

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

11. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has issued nonqualified stock options, restricted stock units, and performance restricted stock units under the Advantage Solutions Inc. 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”). The Company’s restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units, as described below, are expensed and reported as non-vested shares. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $12.5 million and $10.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The related deferred tax benefit for stock-based compensation recognized was $3.0 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $20.3 million and $20.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The related deferred tax benefit for stock-based compensation recognized was $4.5 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Performance Restricted Stock Units

Performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) are subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions based on the Company’s revenues and Adjusted EBITDA targets in the respective measurement period and the recipient’s continued service to the Company. The PSUs are scheduled to vest over a three-year period from the date of grant and may vest from 0% to 150% of the number of shares set forth in the table below. The number of PSUs earned shall be adjusted to be proportional to the partial performance between the Threshold Goals, Target Goals and Maximum Goals. Details for each aforementioned defined term for each grant have been provided in the table below.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that the achievement of the performance objective applicable to the PSU EBITDA 2021 objective was 64.6% of target and the achievement of the performance objective applicable to the PSU Revenues 2021 objective was 126.2% of target. In the first quarter of 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that the PSU EBITDA and Revenue metrics will be measured separately when determining whether above-target performance has been maintained for future year performance. Such determination is applicable to the PSUs grants made in 2021 and in 2022. As a result, the 26.2% above-target performance on Revenues for 2021 must be maintained in 2022 and 2023 in order for the corresponding above-target PSUs to vest in January 2024. Assuming there is no decline in performance with respect to Revenues in 2022 and 2023, an amount equal to approximately 9.2% of the target number of PSUs granted in January 2021 will vest in full in January 2024 as a result of the above-target Revenue performance for fiscal 2021. The performance period for those awards ended on December 31, 2021 but remain subject to service-based vesting conditions.

Under the provision of ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation, the Company determined that 2021 PSUs granted were modified as of March 11, 2022 related to 205,834 above-target Revenue Metric PSUs. The stock-based compensation expense for such modification was accounted for as a cancellation of the original award and the issuance of a new award using the fair value of the award on the date of modification, resulting in a $1.1 million gain upon cancellation during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and an intrinsic value associated with the new award of $1.2 million that is expected to be recognized over the remaining service-based vesting term.

The fair value of PSU grants is equal to the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of the applicable grant. The maximum potential remaining expense if the Maximum Goals were met for these awards has been provided in the table below for awards in which the performance period has not yet concluded. Recognition of expense associated with performance-based stock is not permitted until achievement of the performance targets are probable of occurring.


(in thousands, except share and per share data) Performance Period	Number of Shares Threshold		Number of Shares Target		Number of Shares Maximum		Weighted Average Fair Value per Share		Maximum Remaining Unrecognized Compensation Expense		Weighted-average remaining requisite service periods

The following table summarizes the PSU activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022:


	Performance Share Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are subject to the recipient’s continued service to the Company. The RSUs are generally scheduled to vest over three years and are subject to the provisions of the agreement under the Plan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the following activities involving RSUs occurred under the Plan:


	Number of RSUs		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2022		3,660,553	$	10.64
Granted		6,011,028	$	5.83
Distributed		623,066	$	12.78
Forfeited		436,889	$	8.61
Outstanding at June 30, 2022		8,611,626	$	7.23

As of June 30, 2022, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs amounted to $40.0 million, which is expected to be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of 2.4 years.

Stock Options

Pursuant to the Plan, a total of 945,664 non-qualified stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 945,664 remained outstanding as of June 30, 2022 with a weighted average exercise price of $5.99 per share. A total of 261,324 non-qualified stock options were forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2022, with a weighted average exercise price of $9.20.

The fair value of the employee stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions for the six months ended:


	June 30,
	2022
Share Price	$	5.99
Dividend yield		0.0	%
Expected volatility		30.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.0	%
Expected term (years)		6.5

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, net of related forfeiture estimates, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years. The intrinsic value of all outstanding options as of June 30, 2022 was zero based on the market price of the Company's common stock of $3.80 per share.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

12. Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to stockholders of the Company by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding without the consideration for potential dilutive shares of common stock. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of performance stock units, restricted stock units, public and private placement warrants, the employee stock purchase plan and stock options. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the potential dilutive shares of common stock for the period determined using the treasury stock method. During periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share because the antidilutive effect of potential common shares is disregarded.

The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted net earnings per common share:

The Company had 18,578,321 warrants to purchase Class A common stock at $11.50 per share outstanding at June 30, 2022, which have been excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as the weighted average market price of the common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 did not exceed the exercise price of the warrants. The Company had 18,578,325 warrants to purchase Class A common stock at $11.50 per share outstanding at June 30, 2021.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at that date and does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the results as of June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related footnotes thereto. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the remainder of the current year or for any future period.
COVID-19 Pandemic	COVID-19 Pandemic Beginning in March 2020 and continuing through the first quarter of 2021, the Company's services experienced the most severe effects from reductions in client spending due to the economic impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic. While mixed by services and geography, the spending reductions impacted all of the Company's services and markets. Globally, the most impacted services were the Company's experiential services. Most services began to recover in April 2021, and the recovery has continued through the second quarter of 2022.
Impact of the War in Ukraine	Impact of the War in Ukraine The Company has a minority interest in a European company that has majority-ownership interests in local agencies in Russia. During the first quarter of 2022, the war in Ukraine resulted in the imposition of sanctions by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, that affect the cross-border operations of businesses operating in Russia. In addition, Russian regulators have imposed currency restrictions and regulations that created uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to recover its investment in operations in Russia, as well as the Company's ability to exercise control or influence over operations by the local agencies in Russia. As a result, the Company intends to use its influence to cause the European company to dispose of its ownership interests in the local agencies in Russia. Accordingly, the Company recorded pretax charges of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2022, primarily consisting of its proportionate share of the net investment in its Russian interest in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Recent Accounting Standards	Recent Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Recently Adopted by the Company In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective for reporting periods that include or are subsequent to March 12, 2020 and must be applied prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships through December 31, 2022. On April 1, 2022, the Company adopted the standard prospectively and determined that the adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP, simplifies the contract settlement assessment for equity classification, requires the use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and expands disclosure requirements. The adoption of this accounting standard, under the full retrospective method, did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and use of the if-converted method did not have an impact on the Company's overall earnings per share calculation. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The guidance clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting of an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption and the adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This update requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The guidance is applied prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendments that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted by the Company In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 606): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements, if the acquiree prepared financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The amendment in this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The guidance should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment in this update. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements. All other new accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective or adopted have been deemed to be not relevant to the Company and, accordingly, are not expected to have a material impact once adopted.
