Manpower Reports 2nd Quarter and First Half 2004 Results

 

MILWAUKEE, WI, USA, July 20, 2004 – Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that net income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $53.1 million, or 56 cents per diluted share, an increase of 82 percent, from $29.1 million, or 37 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Revenues for the second quarter totaled $3.6 billion, an increase of 20 percent from the year-earlier period. Results for the second quarter were positively affected by relatively stronger foreign currencies compared to the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, earnings per diluted share for the quarter were 54 cents on a 14 percent improvement in revenues.

 

“The second quarter results continued to endorse the power of our business strategies and the effectiveness of our execution. The Manpower team again delivered results through exceptional focus and a high level of energy throughout our network,” stated Jeffrey A. Joerres, Chairman and CEO of Manpower Inc.

 

“Both long-term and newly acquired customers are accelerating their use of flexible talent. This increased demand is not only fueling our core business, but is also fueling our unique offerings in financial services, organizational consulting and career transition services. Jefferson Wells grew revenue 131% in the second quarter, the EMEA segment grew at 17.8% in constant currency, and our U.S. operation more than doubled their growth rate, compared to the first quarter of 2004.

 

“Our organization remains focused on delivering solutions to our customers that only the combined strength of Manpower’s unique array of services can provide to meet their needs through the entire business and employment lifecycle. We continue to strengthen our position by expanding our customer relationships and increasing the efficiency of our organization.

 

“We are anticipating the third quarter of 2004 diluted earnings per share will be in the range of 63 to 67 cents. This includes an estimated positive currency impact of 4 cents,” Joerres stated.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $92.7 million or $1.01 per diluted share, an increase of 110 percent from $44.0 million, or 56 cents per diluted share in 2003. Revenues for the six-month period were $7.0 billion, an increase of 22 percent from the prior year.
