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 1997 were $959,726,000, an
increase of 19.3% 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 21.1% in the second
quarter as compared to the same period in 1996. Direct wage costs have
increased from 1996 at a rate somewhat higher than the general
inflation rate, due to strong worldwide demand for labor.
Gross profit of $170,108,000 was 11.7% higher than the second quarter
of 1996, and gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 18.9%
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 costs 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 $137,636,000 in the
second quarter, an increase of 11.2% over the same period in 1996.
Expenses averaged 14.3% of sales as compared to 15.4% in last year's
second 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 $32,472,000 were 14.0% greater than the
second quarter of 1996. Earnings before income taxes were
$32,958,000, an increase of 13.1%, compared to pretax earnings of
$29,138,000 for the same period in 1996. The pretax margin was 3.4%, a
.2 percentage point decrease from the second quarter of 1996. The
decrease was due to the lower gross profit and expense ratios and, to a
lesser extent, lower net interest income.
Income taxes were 41.0% of pretax income. This was .9 percentage point
over the applicable tax rate for the second quarter of 1996 due to
reduced tax-exempt income and earnings growth in our foreign operating
units where tax rates are higher. (The income tax rate for the year
1996 averaged 40.6%.)
- 8 -
Net earnings were $19,443,000 in the second quarter of 1997, an
increase of 11.4% over the second quarter of 1996. Earnings per share
were $.51 compared to $.46 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.
Year-to-Date
Sales of services totaled $1,840,572,000 during the first six months of
1997, an increase of 19.7% over 1996. This increase reflects continued
growth in the volume of domestic and international sales.
Cost of services of $1,514,126,000 was 21.3% higher than last year,
reflecting domestic and international volume growth and increases in
payroll costs due to strong demand for labor worldwide.
Gross profit increased 12.6% in 1997 due to increased sales, but at
lower gross profit rates. The gross profit rate was 17.7% for the
first six months of 1997 compared to 18.8% for 1996. This decline
reflects growth with our very large customers and in the staff leasing
business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $269,855,000 were 11.9%
higher than last year. The spending rate was 14.7% of sales, 1.0
percentage point below last year's rate. Expenses continue to be
closely monitored in both U.S. and overseas markets.
Earnings before taxes were $57,081,000, an increase of 12.7% over 1996.
These earnings averaged a pretax margin of 3.1%, or .2 percentage point
decrease from 1996. The decrease was due to lower gross profit and
expense ratios and lower net interest income. Income taxes were 41.0%
of pretax earnings and were .9 percentage point higher than last year's
first half income tax rate. Reduced tax-exempt income and earnings
growth in our foreign operations where tax rates are higher
account for this change.
Net earnings were $33,671,000, or 10.9% higher than the first six
months of 1996. Earnings per share were $.88 compared to $.80 last
year.

Financial Condition
Assets totaled $911,017,000 at June 29, 1997, an increase of 8.6% over
the $838,879,000 at December 29, 1996. Working capital increased
$8,773,000 during the six-month period. The current ratio was 1.9 at
June 29, 1997, a decline of .1 percentage point since December 29,
1996.
During the first half of 1997, the Company generated cash from
operating activities totaling $73,036,000 compared to a decline in cash
from operating activities of $34,624,000 in the first half of 1996. In
1997, increased net earnings and increases in current liability
balances, offset by moderate growth in accounts receivable, contributed
to the increase in cash. In 1996, an increase in accounts receivable
was a principal component in the decline in cash from operating
activities. 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 $.22 per share in the second quarter of 1997. This
compares to a dividend rate of $.21 per share in the second 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.
