ManpowerGroup Reports 1st Quarter 2014 Results

MILWAUKEE, April 23, 2014 -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) today reported that net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $70.1 million, or 86 cents per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $23.9 million, or 31 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Revenues for the first quarter were $4.9 billion, an increase of 3% from the prior year period.
Included in the prior year first quarter results is a restructuring charge, primarily related to office consolidations and severance costs of $34.8 million ($25.3 million after tax or 32 cents per diluted share). There were no restructuring charges in the current year quarter. Net earnings in the first quarter were negatively impacted by 1 cent per diluted share, as certain foreign currencies were slightly weaker compared to the prior year period.
Jeffrey A. Joerres, ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO, said, “Despite the slow start in January, we are experiencing more positive revenue trends as we enter the second quarter in almost all of the major geographies. Growth in our Europe business improved to over 4 percent in constant currency in the quarter, and exceeded 3 percent on an average daily basis.
“The work that our team did last year to simplify and re-calibrate our company is paying off as we were able to achieve strong flow through and operational leverage.
“We anticipate second quarter earnings per share will range between $1.26 to $1.34, which includes an estimated favorable currency impact of 2 cents.”
In conjunction with its first quarter earnings release, ManpowerGroup will broadcast its conference call live over the Internet on April 23, 2014 at 7:30 a.m. CDT (8:30 a.m. EDT). Interested parties are invited to listen to the webcast and view the presentation by logging on to http://www.manpowergroup.com in the section titled “Investor Relations.”

(a) On a consolidated basis, the French business tax is reported in provision for income taxes, in accordance with the current accounting guidance on income taxes. Prior to the second quarter of 2013, we internally reviewed the financial results of our French operations including the French business tax within OUP given the operational nature of these taxes. While we continue to view this tax as operational, during the second quarter of 2013 we changed our internal reporting to exclude the French business tax from the OUP of our France reportable segment. Therefore, we are no longer required to show the business tax amount separately to reconcile to the consolidated results. All previously reported segment results have been restated to conform to the current year presentation. This change in segment reporting has no impact on our reporting of consolidated results.
 
                                 
(b) In the United States, revenues from services include fees received from our franchise offices of $3.4 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $169.1 million and $155.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
