ManpowerGroup Reports 2nd Quarter 2021 Results

 41% revenue increase in the quarter (31% increase on a constant currency basis)

 All brands recorded significant quarterly year-over-year revenue growth, as Manpower and Experis experienced increased demand for staffing and permanent recruitment and Talent Solutions experienced strong growth, led by RPO and MSP

 Operating profit of $170 million in the quarter

 $50 million of common stock repurchased during the quarter

MILWAUKEE, July 20, 2021 -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) today reported net earnings of $2.02 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net losses of $1.11 per diluted share in the prior year period.  Net earnings in the quarter were $111.6 million compared to net losses of $64.4 million a year earlier.  Revenues for the second quarter were $5.3 billion, a 41% increase from the prior year period.

Financial results in the quarter were impacted by the weaker U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies compared to the prior year period, resulting in a 13 cents positive impact to earnings per share in the quarter compared to the prior year. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 31% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the prior year impact of special items, on a constant currency basis, net earnings per diluted share increased 938% during the quarter.

Days Sales Outstanding improved by 1.9 days year over year reflecting our continued focus on collections and working capital efficiency.

Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO, said, “Our second quarter results reflect an improving global economic environment and increased demand for our services across our key markets and brands.  As restrictions continued to ease worldwide, we saw the benefit of our diversified portfolio of services and workforce solutions. Our Manpower business rebounded strongly, our Experis business improved significantly during the quarter and our Talent Solutions offerings continued to deliver against the strong demand for global workforce solutions. We also made significant progress in the ongoing execution of our strategic initiatives, particularly in the implementation of new technology across the globe.

We are encouraged by the current momentum that we are experiencing across our offerings and confident in our team’s ability to continue to deliver value to all our stakeholders.

We anticipate diluted earnings per share in the third quarter will be between $1.86 and $1.94, which includes an estimated favorable currency impact of 4 cents.”

Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $173.6 million, or net earnings of $3.13 per diluted share compared to net losses of $62.7 million, or net losses of $1.07 per diluted share in the prior year. The prior year to date period included special items and restructuring costs which reduced earnings per share by $2.07. Revenues for the six-month period were $10.2 billion, an increase of 22% from the prior year or an increase of 14% in constant currency. Earnings per share for the six-month period were positively impacted by 20 cents due to changes in foreign currencies compared to the prior year.

In conjunction with its second quarter earnings release, ManpowerGroup will broadcast its conference call live over the Internet on July 20, 2021 at 7:30 a.m. CDT (8:30 a.m. EDT).
