MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations:
Second Quarter
Sales of services in the second quarter of 1996 were $804,262,000, an
increase of 23.3% from the same period in 1995. Domestic sales grew
in excess of 20%, and reflects growth in the staffing business and
significant expansion in our staff leasing services. International
sales continued to grow at double digit rates.
Cost of services, consisting of payroll and related costs of employees
assigned to customers, increased 25.4% in the second quarter as
compared to the same period in 1995. Average hourly wage rates and
related costs from U.S. operations have increased from 1995 at a rate
somewhat higher than the general inflation rate due to a tightening
labor market.
Gross profit of $152,255,000 was 14.8% higher than 1995, while the
Company-wide gross profit rates declined from 20.3% in 1995 to 18.9% in
1996. Growth in the staff leasing business, with its inherently lower
margins, along with the upward pressure on wage rates noted above and
growth of sales with our very large customers, where contracts require
special pricing and additional implementation costs, all had the effect
of reducing the consolidated gross profit rate.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $124,259,000 in the
second quarter, an increase of 15.3% over the same period in 1995.
As a percent of sales, the spending rate averaged 15.5%, compared to
16.5% in last year's second quarter.
Earnings before income taxes were $29,138,000, an increase of 7.1%,
compared to pretax earnings of $27,210,000 for the same period in 1995.
The pretax margin was 3.6%, a .6 percentage point decrease from the
second quarter of 1995. Lower interest income represented .2
percentage point of the decline while the net of the lower gross
margin rate and lower expense spending rate accounted for the remaining
.4 percentage point of the decrease.
Income taxes were 40.1% of pretax income. This was 1.3 percentage
point over the applicable tax rate for the second quarter of 1995 due
to increased state tax rates, reduced tax-exempt income and the
expiration of tax credits against federal income tax liability earned
through the targeted jobs tax credit program.
- 8 -
Net earnings were $17,448,000 in the second quarter of 1996, an
increase of 4.7% over the second quarter of 1995. Earnings per share
were $.46 compared to the $.44 in the same period last year.
Year-to-Date
Sales of services totaled $1,538,193,000 during the first six months of
1996, an increase of 20.8% over 1995. This increase reflects continued
growth in the volume of domestic and international sales.
Cost of services of $1,248,252,000 was 22.6% higher than last year,
reflecting domestic and international volume growth and increases in
payroll costs due to a tightening U.S. labor market.
Gross profit increased 13.8% in 1996 due to strong increased sales
volume, but at lower gross profit rates on sales. The gross profit
rate was 18.8% for the first six months of 1996 compared to 20.0% for
1995. This decline reflects competitive constraints on price increases
in U.S. service lines, growth of sales with our very large customers
and higher volume growth in the staff leasing business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $241,997,000 were 14.1%
higher than last year. The spending rate was 15.7% of sales, 1.0
percentage point below last year's rate. Expenses continue to be
closely monitored in response to tightening margins in both U.S. and
overseas markets.
Earnings before taxes were $50,631,000, an increase of 7.0% over 1995.
These earnings averaged a pretax margin of 3.3%, or .4 percentage point
decrease over 1995. Lower interest income accounts for half of this
decline, and the net of lower gross margin rates, offset by a decreased
expense spending rate, accounted for the remainder. Income taxes were
40.1% of pretax earnings and were 1.2 percentage point higher than last
year's first half income tax rate. The absence of the targeted jobs
tax credit, increased state and local rates and increased foreign tax
rates account for this change.
Net earnings were $30,351,000, or 4.9% higher than the first six months
of 1995. Earnings per share were $.80 compared to $.76 last year.
- 9 -
Financial Condition
Assets totaled $766,592,000 at June 30, 1996, an increase of 6.7% over
the $718,687,000 at December 31, 1995. Working capital increased
$11,244,000 during the six-month period. The components of working
capital, notably accounts receivable, have changed due to increased
business activity. The current ratio was 2.2 at June 30, 1996, a
decline of .1 percentage point since December 31, 1995.
The quarterly dividend rate applicable to Class A and Class B shares
outstanding was increased to $.21 per share in the second quarter of
1996. This compares to a dividend rate of $.20 per share in the second
quarter of 1995.
Management believes the financial condition of the Company continues to
be strong, which enables it to fund working capital requirements and
long-term growth opportunities from internal resources.

dividends on shares of the Class A Common Stock or on the
Class B Common Stock shall be made in connection with any
conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of
Class A Common Stock.
- 5 -
3. The holders of a certificate or
certificates for Class B Common Stock, in order to effect the
conversion of shares represented thereby, shall
surrender the certificate or certificates to the corporation
or to the Transfer Agent for the shares of the Class B
Common Stock, with request for conversion. If the shares of
the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion are to be
issued in a name other than that in which the shares of the
Class B Common Stock to be converted are registered, the
certificate or certificates shall be duly endorsed for
transfer or accompanied by a duly executed stock transfer
power, and shall also be accompanied by the necessary stock
transfer stamps or equivalent funds.
Upon surrender of the certificate or
certificates, the corporation shall issue and deliver or
cause to be issued and delivered to the person entitled
thereto a certificate or certificates for the number of full
shares of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion.
The corporation shall pay all original issue taxes, if any,
payable upon the issue of shares of the Class A Common Stock
issued upon any conversion.
The conversion shall be deemed to have been
effected on the date of the surrender of the certificate or
certificates of shares of the Class B Common Stock, and the
person in whose name the certificate or certificates of the
shares of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion
are to be issued shall be deemed to be the holder of record
of the shares as of that date.
4. If there should be any capital
reorganization or any reclassification of the Class A Common
Stock, the shares of the Class B Common Stock shall
thereafter have the right to be converted into the number of
shares of stock or other securities or property of the
corporation to which outstanding shares of the Class A
Common Stock would have been entitled upon the effective
date of the reorganization or reclassification. The Board
of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the
application of the provisions of this paragraph (c) with
respect to the conversion rights of the holders of the
shares of the Class B Common Stock after the reorganization
or reclassification, to the end that the provisions shall be
applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in respect to
any shares or other securities or property thereafter
issuable or deliverable upon the conversion of shares of the
- 6 -
Class B Common Stock. The provisions of this sub-paragraph
shall not apply to a reorganization or reclassification
involving merely a subdivision or combination of outstanding
shares of the Class A Common Stock.
5. In case the corporation shall be
consolidated with or merged into any other corporation or
shall sell or transfer its property and business as or
substantially as an entirety, then the stock or other
securities or other property, including cash, issuable or
deliverable in connection with such consolidation, merger or
sale in respect of each share of the Class A Common Stock
then outstanding, shall thereafter, for the purposes of the
conversion rights of the Class B Common Stock, be deemed the
equivalent of one share of Class A Common Stock. Upon the
exercise of conversion rights, holders of Class B Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive on an equivalent basis
and at the same rate and on the other terms and conditions
set forth in this paragraph (c), the stock or other
securities or property, including cash, deemed to be the
equivalent of Class A Common Stock. Lawful provisions to
this effect shall be made a part of and condition to the
consolidation, merger or sale.
6. In case the corporation shall propose (i)
to effect any reclassification of the Class A Common Stock
or any capital reorganization involving a change in the
Class A Common Stock, other than a reclassification or
reorganization involving merely a subdivision or combination
of outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock, or (ii)
to consolidate with or merger into another corporation, or
to sell or transfer its property and business as or
substantially as an entirety, then, in each such case, the
corporation shall file with each Transfer Agent for the
shares of the Class B Common Stock and shall mail to the
holders of record of the shares at their respective
addresses then appearing on the records of the corporation a
statement, signed by an officer of the corporation, with
respect to the proposed action, the statement to be so filed
and mailed at least 30 days prior to the record date for
holders of the Class A Common Stock for the purposes
thereof. The statement shall set forth such facts with
respect to the proposed action as shall be reasonably
necessary to inform each Transfer Agent for the shares of
the Class B Common Stock and the holders of those shares as
to the effect of the action upon the conversion rights of
the holders.
- 7 -
7. The corporation shall at all times have
authorized but unissued, or in its treasury, a number of
shares of the Class A Common Stock sufficient for the
conversion of all shares of the Class B Common Stock from
time to time outstanding.
8. In case the shares of the Class A Common
Stock or the Class B Common Stock at any time outstanding
shall, by reclassification or otherwise, be subdivided into
a greater number of shares or combined into a lesser number
of shares, the shares of Class B Common Stock or Class A
Common Stock, respectively, then outstanding shall, at the
same time, be subdivided or combined, as the case may be, on
the same basis.
(d) Preemptive Rights. Holders of the Class A
-----------------
Common Stock shall have no preemptive right to subscribe to
any securities issued by the corporation. Holders of the
Class B Common Stock shall have the preemptive right to
subscribe to additional shares of Class B Common Stock, or
any other voting stock or any security convertible into
Class B Common Stock or other voting stock, hereafter issued
by the corporation.
(e) Liquidation Preferences.
-----------------------
1. In the event of dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary, holders of the Class A Common Stock and of the
Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to payment out of the
assets of the corporation ratably in accordance with the
number of shares held by them respectively.
2. Neither a consolidation nor a merger of
the corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a
merger of any other corporation into the corporation, nor
the purchase or other acquisition by the corporation of all
or a part of the outstanding shares of any class or classes
of its stock, nor the sale or transfer of the property and
business of the corporation, as or substantially as an
entirety, shall be considered a dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the corporation within the meaning of the
foregoing provisions.
