MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations:
First Quarter
Sales of services in the first quarter of 1997 were $880,846,000, an
increase of 20% from the same period in 1996. Sales growth was
generally strong in both domestic and foreign operations.
Cost of services, consisting of payroll and related tax and benefit
costs of employees assigned to customers, increased 21.5% in the first
quarter as compared to the same period in 1996. Average hourly wage
rates and related costs from U.S. operations have increased from 1996
at a rate somewhat higher than the general inflation rate, due to a
tightening labor market.
Gross profit of $156,338,000 was 13.5% higher than the first quarter of
1996, and gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 18.8% in
1996 to 17.7% in 1997. The growth of sales with our largest customers
where contracts require special pricing and additional implementation
costs, the upward pressure on wage rates noted above and growth in the
staff leasing business with its inherently lower margins all had the
effect of reducing the consolidated gross profit rate.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $132,219,000 in the
first quarter, an increase of 12.7% over the same period in 1996. As a
percent of sales, the spending rate averaged 15.0%, compared to 16.0%
in last year's first quarter. The rate of growth of these expenses in
relationship to the sales increases reflects the Company's emphasis on
expense control.
Earnings from operations of $24,119,000 were 18.3% greater than the
first quarter of 1996. Earnings before income taxes were $24,123,000,
an increase of 12.2%, compared to pretax earnings of $21,493,000 for
the same period in 1996. The pretax margin was 2.7%, a .2 percentage
point decrease from the first quarter of 1996. This was due to lower
interest income, net and the lower gross profit and expense ratios.
Income taxes were 41.0% of pretax income. This was 1.0 percentage
point over the applicable tax rate for the first quarter of 1996 due to
reduced tax-exempt income and higher foreign tax rates. (The income
tax rate for the year 1996 averaged 40.6%.)
- 8 -
Net earnings were $14,228,000 in the first quarter of 1997, an increase
of 10.3% over the first quarter of 1996. Earnings per share were $.37
compared to $.34 in the same period last year. Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share," was
issued in February 1997. Adoption of SFAS 128, effective for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, is not expected to have a material
effect on reported earnings per share.
Financial Condition
Assets totaled $869,705,000 at March 30, 1997, an increase of 3.7% over
the $838,879,000 at December 29, 1996. Working capital increased
$5,425,000 during the three-month period. The current ratio was 2.0 at
March 30, 1997 and December 29, 1996.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company generated cash flows from
operating activities totaling $42,921,000, an increase of 66% over the
comparable period in 1996. This increase resulted principally from
increases in net earnings and liability balances. Capital expenditures
were principally for expanding and improving the worldwide branch
network.
The quarterly dividend rate applicable to Class A and Class B shares
outstanding was $.21 per share in the first quarter of 1997. This
compares to a dividend rate of $.20 per share in the first quarter of
1996.
The Company's financial position continues to be strong. This strength
will allow it to continue to aggressively pursue growth opportunities,
while supporting current operations.
