- 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Results of Operations: Third Quarter Sales of services in the third quarter of 1995 totaled $698,453,000, an increase of 10.8% from the same period in 1994. Modest growth in domestic sales, at less than 10% over the same period in 1994, reflected slowed economic conditions in the United States and management's continued challenging of low yielding, higher risk light industrial business. International sales continued to grow at double digit rates, with the United Kingdom and French companies posting significant increases for the quarter. Cost of services, consisting of payroll and related costs of employees assigned to customers, increased 9.9% in the third quarter as compared to the same period in 1994. Average hourly wages and related costs increased almost 6% from 1994 due to inflation and a shift in business mix toward higher margin service lines. Gross profit of $142,485,000 was 14.4% higher than 1994 due to both increased volume and gross profit rates which, combined, averaged 20.4% compared to 19.8% in 1994. This increased rate of gross profit was related principally to a greater mix of sales in higher margin service lines, such as office and technical. Strong growth of international sales carrying higher gross profit rates also contributed to the overall increase in margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $111,125,000 in the third quarter, an increase of 16.9% over the same period in 1994. As a percent of sales, the spending rate averaged 15.9%, or .8 percentage point over last year's third quarter. This increase resulted from expected growth in business activity, increased national advertising costs related to promoting the introduction of new customer products and services, inclusion of newly acquired operations, and continued aggressive investments in new service lines and programs, which promote and improve service quality and customer satisfaction. Earnings before income taxes were $33,158,000, an increase of 6.6%, compared to pretax earnings of $31,119,000 for the same period in 1994. The pretax margin was 4.7%, a .2 percentage point decrease from the third quarter of 1994. The increased rate of expense spending noted above was the principal reason for the decline in the return on pretax earnings. Income taxes were 38.6% of pretax income, which was a .6 percentage point increase over the applicable tax rate for the third quarter of 1994, due to reduced credits available from the U.S. targeted jobs tax credit program. The program was discontinued effective January 1, 1995. - 8 - Net earnings were $20,373,000 in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 5.6% over the third quarter of 1994. Earnings per share were $.54 compared to the $.51 in the same period last year. Year-to-Date Sales of services totaled $1,971,555,000 during the first nine months of 1995, an increase of 13.9% over 1994. This increase reflects continued growth in the volume of domestic and especially international sales, particularly in Europe. Sales of OK Personnel Holding SA in Switzerland (completed July, 1994) and The Wallace Law Registry, Inc. (purchased as of April, 1995) are included with 1995 sales. Cost of services of $1,574,374,000 was 12.8% higher than last year, reflecting volume growth, acquisitions, modest inflationary increases in hourly payroll costs and a shift towards higher margin service lines. Gross profit increased 18.2% in 1995 due to increased sales volume, acquisitions, and a rate of gross profit that averaged 20.1% for the first nine months of 1995 compared to the 19.4% rate of 1994. This change reflects the increased mix of business in higher margin service lines such as office and technical, plus strong sales growth in international operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $323,219,000 were 19.0% higher than last year, reflecting higher business activity, the acquisition of new businesses and investments in new programs. Earnings before taxes were $80,470,000, an increase of 16.1% over 1994. These earnings averaged a pretax margin of 4.1%, or .1 percentage point improvement over 1994. Income taxes were 38.7% of pretax earnings and were .7 percentage point higher than last year's first nine months' income tax rate. As explained above, the elimination of the U.S. targeted jobs tax credit, effective January 1, 1995, is the principal reason for this rate increase. Net earnings were $49,295,000, or 14.8% higher than the first nine months of 1994. Earnings per share were $1.30 compared to $1.13 last year. - 9 - Financial Condition Assets totaled $693,227,000 at October 1, 1995, an increase of 8% over the $642,098,000 at January 1, 1995. Working capital increased $5,208,000 during the nine-month period. The current ratio was 2.4 at October 1, 1995, a decline of .1 percentage point since January 1. Increased business activity and capital expenditures, including the acquisition of The Wallace Law Registry, Inc. during the second quarter of 1995, accounted for the change. Enhancements to automated systems in all branches continue to be made and were a major element of capital spending. The quarterly dividend rate applicable to Class A and Class B common shares outstanding was $.20 per share in the third quarter of 1995. This compares to a dividend rate of $.18 per share in the third quarter of 1994. Management believes the financial condition of the Company continues to be exceptionally strong, which enables it to fund working capital requirements and longer-term growth opportunities from internal resources. -------------------------------------------------------------- Companies for which this report is filed are: Kelly Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Kelly Assisted Living Services, Inc., Kelly Properties, Inc., Kelly Professional and Technical Services, Inc., Kelly Services (Canada), Ltd., Les Services Kelly (Quebec) Inc., Lenore Simpson Personnel, Ltd., Societe Services Kelly, Kelly Professional Services (France), Inc., Kelly Services (UK), Ltd., Kelly Services (Ireland), Ltd., Kelly Services (Australia), Ltd., Kelly Services (New Zealand), Ltd., Kelly Services (Nederland), B.V., Kelly Services of Denmark, Inc., OK Personnel Service Holding SA, Kelly de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., Kelly Services Norge A.S., KSI Acquisition Corp., Kelly Pinpoint, Inc., Your Staff, Inc. and The Wallace Law Registry, Inc.
