Manpower Inc. Reports 1st Quarter Results
MILWAUKEE, WI, USA, April 18, 2006 – Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased 63 percent to $52.6 million, or 59 cents per diluted share, compared to $32.2 million, or 35 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Revenues for the first quarter were $3.9 billion, an increase of 5 percent from the year-earlier period.
Results for the first quarter were negatively impacted by relatively weaker foreign currencies compared to the first quarter of 2005. On a constant currency basis, diluted earnings per share were 65 cents on an 11 percent improvement in revenues. Included in the current year results is a 27 cents per diluted share gain on the sale of a payroll processing business in Sweden and a 16 cents per diluted share charge related to reorganization and a global cost reduction initiative.
Jeffrey A. Joerres, Manpower Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The Manpower team across the world is performing well, and it shows in the results. When we get all cylinders firing, the leverage we can achieve is impressive. The United States, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Japan and other business units increased profitability by 30% or more compared to first quarter 2005. Excluding the one-time items, Manpower’s operating income increased 25 percent year over year, and earnings per share increased 37 percent in U.S. dollars and 51 percent in constant currency.”
Joerres added, “In addition to our strong performance this quarter, we also announced our new brand on February 21st, which is all about demonstrating the depth of our services and the strength of our leadership in the employment services industry. This effort has already had a positive impact with our clients and candidates.
“Given the current trends, we anticipate our second quarter diluted earnings per share to be in the range of 76 to 80 cents, which includes an estimated negative currency impact of 3 cents.”
