Kelly Services(R) Reports Second Quarter Earnings

August 9, 2017 7:30 AM EDT

TROY, MI -- (Marketwired) -- 08/09/17 -- Financial Highlights

  • Q2 revenue down 3%; up 4% adjusted for the APAC Joint Venture transaction in 2016
  • Q2 operating earnings up 105%; up 71% adjusted for 2016 restructuring charges and the APAC Joint Venture transaction
  • Q2 earnings per share of $0.47 versus $0.23 (2016 Adjusted EPS of $0.27)

Kelly Services (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB), a global leader in providing workforce solutions, today announced results for the second quarter of 2017.

George S. Corona, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $1.3 billion, a 3% decrease compared to the corresponding quarter of 2016. Revenue comparisons are unfavorably impacted by the transfer of APAC staffing operations to the TS Kelly Asia Pacific Joint Venture at the beginning of the third quarter of 2016.

Earnings from operations for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $20.3 million, compared to $9.9 million reported for the second quarter of 2016. Included in the results of operations in the second quarter of 2016 are restructuring charges of $3.4 million. Excluding the restructuring charges and the APAC staffing operations from 2016, earnings from operations in 2016 were $11.9 million.

Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2017 were $0.47 compared to $0.23 per share in the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the restructuring charges and the APAC staffing operations, earnings per share were $0.27 in the second quarter of 2016.

Reflecting on the results, Corona stated, "It was a successful quarter that confirmed our strategic direction and continued Kelly's forward momentum in the market. Our performance demonstrates our sustained ability to grow the top line, operate more efficiently, and deliver solid returns to our shareholders -- all while continuing to invest in the future. I'm incredibly proud of our Kelly teams' commitment to growth and delivering such strong results."

Kelly also reported that on August 8, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend is payable September 1, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 22, 2017.

KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2017 and 2016 restructuring charges and 2016 disposal of APAC businesses is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2017 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of these items allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) Disposal of APAC businesses represents the second quarter and June year to date 2016 operational results of businesses contributed to TS Kelly Asia Pacific in the third quarter of 2016.

(2) Restructuring charges in 2017 represent costs related primarily to optimizing our GTS service delivery models to deliver expected cost savings. Restructuring charges in 2016 include costs related to actions during the second quarter in the Americas and International regions designed to increase operational efficiency and align our staffing operations with opportunities for growth within their markets.
