7 KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (In thousands of dollars) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, have been made which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2001 (the 2001 consolidated financial statements). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. 2. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When it is probable that undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset's carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value. Assets to be disposed of by sale, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. See footnote 6 for the discussion on the impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization. 3. Segment Disclosures The Company's reportable segments, which are based on the Company's method of internal reporting, are: (1) U.S. Commercial Staffing, (2) Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) and (3) International. The following table presents information about the reported sales and earnings from operations of the Company for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001. Segment data presented are net of intersegment revenues. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not produce such information internally. 13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Sales: U.S. Commercial Staffing $ 549,904 $ 515,289 $1,557,137 $1,592,215 PTSA 287,424 270,349 841,888 809,471 International 285,387 280,742 800,699 818,147 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Consolidated Total $1,122,715 $1,066,380 $3,199,724 $3,219,833 ========== ========== ========== ========== Earnings from Operations: U.S. Commercial Staffing $ 33,325 $ 27,324 $ 84,231 $ 90,069 PTSA 13,121 10,039 36,898 35,988 International 3,141 4,282 2,447 7,853 Corporate (38,872) (33,899) (105,200) (107,118) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Consolidated Total $ 10,715 $ 7,746 $ 18,376 $ 26,792 ========== ========== ========== ==========
8 KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (UNAUDITED) (In thousands of dollars) 4. Contingencies The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance and it is reasonably possible that some matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company. Although the amount of the liability at September 29, 2002 with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, the Company believes that any resulting liability will not be material to the financial statements of the Company at September 29, 2002. 5. Earnings Per Share The reconciliations of earnings per share computations for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001 were as follows: 13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net earnings $ 6,505 $ 4,566 $11,236 $15,826 ======= ======= ======= ======= Determination of shares (thousands): Weighted average common shares outstanding 35,508 35,855 35,792 35,817 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 22 6 63 10 Restricted and performance awards and other 73 87 113 83 ------- ------- ------- ------- Weighted average common shares outstanding - assuming dilution 35,603 35,948 35,968 35,910 ======= ======= ======= ======= Earnings per share - basic $ .18 $ .13 $ .31 $ .44 Earnings per share - assuming dilution $ .18 $ .13 $ .31 $ .44 Stock options representing 2,128,000 and 1,764,000 shares, respectively, for the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, and stock options representing 1,248,000 and 1,428,000 shares, respectively, for the nine months ended September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and the options were therefore anti-dilutive.
9 KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (UNAUDITED) (In thousands of dollars) 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Adoption of Statement 142 Effective for fiscal 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," and eliminated the amortization of purchased goodwill. The Company also reevaluated intangible assets and determined that their remaining useful lives are appropriate. At September 29, 2002, the unamortized purchased goodwill balance was approximately $78 million. Impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization were completed as of December 31, 2001. It was determined that goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are not impaired; therefore there was no transitional impairment charge to be recorded. In accordance with SFAS No. 142 the Company will test goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization on an annual basis or more often if circumstances change, indicating potential impairment. The following table presents net earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001, as adjusted for the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. 13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended ---------------------- ------------------------ 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------ ------ ------- ------- Reported net earnings $6,505 $4,566 $11,236 $15,826 Add back: Goodwill amortization, net of tax - 505 - 1,557 ------ ------ ------- ------- Adjusted net earnings $6,505 $5,071 $11,236 $17,383 ====== ====== ======= ======= Basic earnings per share: Reported net earnings $ 0.18 $ 0.13 $ 0.31 $ 0.44 Goodwill amortization, net of tax - 0.01 - 0.05 ------ ------ ------- ------- Adjusted net earnings $ 0.18 $ 0.14 $ 0.31 $ 0.49 ====== ====== ======= ======= Diluted earnings per share: Reported net earnings $ 0.18 $ 0.13 $ 0.31 $ 0.44 Goodwill amortization, net of tax - 0.01 - 0.04 ------ ------ ------- ------- Adjusted net earnings $ 0.18 $ 0.14 $ 0.31 $ 0.48 ====== ====== ======= ======= 7. New Accounting Standard In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which supercedes Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred, rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan as was required by EITF No. 94-3. This statement is effective for disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
10 Item 2. 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 2002 were $1.123 billion, an increase of 5.3% from the same period in 2001. This improvement was a result of an increase in hours worked of 4.1% and an increase in average hourly bill rates of 1.6%. Sales for the quarter increased in each of the Company's three business segments: U.S. Commercial, Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) and International. The gross profit rate for the third quarter of 2002 averaged 16.2%, an increase of 0.1 percentage point compared to the 16.1% rate earned for the same period in 2001. The gross profit rates of U.S. Commercial and PTSA increased compared to last year, while gross profit in the International segment decreased. The increase in gross profit rates was primarily due to the favorable impact of a decrease in benefit costs, including workers' compensation, and improved pricing in the office/clerical service line, offset by the unfavorable impact of the continuing shift in the mix of customers to large corporate and national accounts and a decline in recruitment fee income. Many of the Company's large corporate and national account customers have negotiated high volume global service agreements, which tend to result in lower gross profit rates than those earned with the Company's small and medium size customers. The Company's strategy is focused on serving and growing these large corporate and national accounts. As customer mix shifts to large corporate and national accounts, the Company's average gross margins tend to decrease. The Company expects this trend to continue throughout the balance of 2002. Fee based recruitment income, which represents approximately one percent of the Company's total sales, has a significant impact on gross profit rates. There are very low direct costs of services associated with recruitment income. Therefore, decreases in permanent placement fees can have a disproportionate impact on gross profit rates. As compared to last year, many customers reduced or eliminated the recruiting of full-time employees and the conversions of temporary to permanent staff. The Company expects that recruitment fee income will begin to increase when economic growth and job creation resume. Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of sales were 15.3% in the third quarter of 2002, a 0.1 percentage point improvement compared to the 15.4% rate in the third quarter of 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $171.5 million, a 4.6% year-over-year increase. The increase was primarily due to the effect of currency exchange rates on international expenses, higher depreciation and field bonus costs, expenses related to the Company's information technology programs and a loss related to the Company's equity investment in itiliti, an internet-based vendor management software provider. These costs were partially offset by lower telecommunication costs and a favorable settlement related to federal payroll taxes. Earnings from operations in the third quarter of 2002 totaled $10.7 million, a 38.3% increase compared to the $7.7 million reported for the third quarter of 2001. Earnings were 1.0% of sales for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to 0.7% for the same period last year. Net interest income in the third quarter of 2002 was $35 thousand, a $170 thousand improvement compared to last year's net interest expense of $135 thousand. The improvement is primarily attributable to lower short-term debt levels, somewhat offset by the impact of lower interest rates earned on cash balances. The effective income tax rate in the third quarter of 2002 was 39.5%, a 0.5 percentage point improvement compared with last year's 40.0% rate. Third quarter net earnings totaled $6.5 million in 2002, an increase of 42.5% from $4.6 million earned last year. The rate of return on sales for the third quarter of 2002 was 0.6% compared with last year's 0.4% rate. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2002 were $0.18, a 38.5% increase as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.13 reported for the third quarter of 2001.
11 U.S. Commercial Staffing Sales in the U.S. Commercial Staffing segment totaled $549.9 million in the third quarter of 2002, a 6.7% increase compared to the $515.3 million reported for the same period in 2001. This reflected a 6.3% increase in hours worked and a 0.5% increase in average hourly bill rates. The sales growth by month, on a year-over-year basis, were: up 3% in July, up 8% in August and up 11% in September, indicating sequential improvement throughout the third quarter. However, the rate of improvement slowed in September, leading the Company to expect that year-over-year growth may flatten somewhat in the fourth quarter. U.S. Commercial Staffing sales represented 49% of total Company sales in the third quarter of 2002 and 48% of total Company sales in the third quarter of 2001. U.S. Commercial Staffing earnings from operations totaled $33.3 million in the third quarter of 2002, an increase of 22.0% compared to earnings of $27.3 million last year. This was the result of the 6.7% increase in sales and a 0.4 percentage point increase in the gross profit rate, partially offset by a 2.8% increase in expenses. The increase in the gross profit rate reflects an improvement in benefit costs and improved pricing for the office/clerical business line. This increase was partially offset by an ongoing shift in mix of sales to larger corporate and national account customers and decreases in fee based income. The year-over-year decrease in fee based recruitment income for U.S. Commercial was 30% in the third quarter. The increase in expenses was due primarily to higher field bonus payouts and increased bad debts associated with corporate bankruptcies. Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives PTSA includes the following business units: Kelly Scientific Resources, Kelly Healthcare Resources, Kelly Home Care Services, Kelly Automotive Services Group, Kelly Engineering Resources, Kelly Information Technology Resources, Kelly Law Registry, Kelly Financial Resources, National Payroll Services, Kelly Management Services, Kelly Staff Leasing, Inc., Kelly Human Resource Consulting, HRFirst and Kelly Vendor Management Solutions. PTSA sales represented 26% of total Company sales in the third quarter of 2002 and 25% in the third quarter of 2001. Sales in the PTSA segment for the third quarter of 2002 totaled $287.4 million, an increase of 6.3% compared to the $270.3 million reported in the third quarter of 2001. This reflected a 4.3% increase in average hourly bill rates and a 3.3% increase in hours worked in the professional and technical businesses. Revenues in the staffing alternatives businesses, which include the staff leasing and management services business units, increased by 2.6% compared to the third quarter of 2001. Results continued to vary among the 14 business units that comprise PTSA. Kelly Healthcare Resources and Kelly Financial Resources continue to be the leading performers in 2002, exhibiting sales growth of 25% or better for the third quarter. Kelly Information Technology Resources, Kelly Engineering Resources and Kelly Staff Leasing maintained positive sales growth during the third quarter, and sales comparisons for Kelly Automotive Services Group turned positive during the third quarter. The sales growth in Kelly Healthcare Resources and Kelly Financial Resources reflect the impact of new branches opened in 2001. One large PTSA unit, Kelly Home Care, continued to experience revenue declines during the third quarter of 2002. This decrease, however, reflects the general softening of the home healthcare industry within the overall economy. PTSA earnings from operations for the third quarter of 2002 totaled $13.1 million and increased 30.7% from the same period in 2001. This was the result of the 6.3% increase in sales and a 0.5 percentage point increase in the gross profit rate, partially offset by a 2.3% increase in expenses. The increase in the gross profit rate was due to the favorable impact of lower benefit costs, including workers' compensation expense, and pricing increases within individual business units. This was partially offset by an unfavorable change in business unit sales mix, particularly as a result of the decline in sales at the Kelly Home Care division, which has a higher than average gross profit margin. The 2.3% increase in expenses was due primarily to higher liability insurance costs and increased facilities expense associated with the expansion of Kelly Financial Resources and Kelly Healthcare Resources. International Translated U.S. dollar sales in the International segment for the third quarter of 2002 totaled $285.4 million, a 1.7% increase compared to the $280.7 million reported in the third quarter of 2001. This resulted from an increase in the translated U.S. dollar average hourly bill rates of 1.5% and an increase in hours worked of 0.8%, partially offset by a 19% decrease in recruitment fee income.
12 On a constant currency basis, International revenue decreased 4% in the third quarter of 2002. This compares to a constant currency sales decline of 2% in the second quarter of 2002 and a decline of 6% in the first quarter of 2002. The Americas and Asia-Pacific, the first regions within the International segment to reflect the negative impact of the global economic slowdown, are continuing to show improvement. Year-over-year sales comparisons in continental Europe remained negative, while the United Kingdom slowed further in the third quarter. International sales represented 25% of total Company sales in the third quarter of 2002 and 26% in the third quarter of 2001. International earnings from operations were $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2001. However, this result does represent a significant sequential improvement compared to the operating loss of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2002 and operating earnings of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2002. The year-over-year decrease in earnings from operations was the result of a 0.5 percentage point decline in the gross profit rate and a 1.0% increase in expenses, partially offset by the 1.7% increase in sales. The decline in the gross profit rate was primarily due to a 19.1% decrease in recruitment fee income. On a year-over-year basis, translated U.S. dollar expenses in the International segment increased 1.0%. On a constant currency basis expenses actually decreased 6% from the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in expenses, on a constant currency basis, was due primarily to staff reductions and lower recruiting and retention costs. Year-to-Date Sales of services totaled $3.200 billion during the first nine months of 2002, a decrease of 0.6% from the same period in 2001. The decrease was a result of a decrease in hours worked of 2.2% partially offset by an increase in average hourly bill rates of 1.4%. Sales decreases in the U.S. Commercial Staffing and International segments were partially offset by a sales increase in the PTSA segment. Gross profit of $511.4 million was 3.8% lower than the first nine months of 2001, and gross profit as a percentage of sales was 16.0% in 2002, which decreased 0.5% compared to the 16.5% rate recorded in the prior year. This reflected decreases in the gross profit rates of all three business segments. The decline in gross profit rates was due primarily to a continuing shift in the mix of customers to large corporate and national accounts and a decline in recruitment fee income. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $493.1 million were 2.3% lower than last year. The expense rate improved to 15.4% of sales in 2002 as compared to 15.7% in 2001. The decrease was due primarily to staff reductions and lower telecommunication and recruiting costs, which were the result of expense reduction initiatives the Company implemented during 2001. The staff reductions in both field operations and headquarters units generated savings of approximately $8 million in the nine-month period as compared with the prior year. The Company did not incur significant termination costs as a result of these staff reductions. The majority of the staff reductions took place during the second and third quarters of 2001. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2002 was $258 thousand, a $669 thousand improvement compared to last year's net interest expense of $411 thousand. The improvement is primarily attributable to higher cash balances and lower short-term debt levels, offset by the impact of lower interest rates. Earnings before taxes were $18.6 million, a decrease of 29.4% from 2001. Earnings before taxes averaged 0.6% of sales in the first nine months of 2002 and 0.8% of sales in 2001. Income taxes were 39.7% of pretax earnings in the first nine months of 2002 and 40.0% in the first nine months of 2001. Net earnings were $11.2 million, or a 29.0% decrease compared to the first nine months of 2001. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.31, a decrease of 29.5% as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $.44 in the first nine months of 2001. U.S. Commercial Staffing Sales in the U.S. Commercial Staffing segment totaled $1.557 billion for the first nine months of 2002, a 2.2% decrease compared to the $1.592 billion reported for the same period in 2001. This reflected a 2.7% decrease in hours worked partially offset by a 0.7% increase in average hourly bill rates. U.S. Commercial Staffing sales represented 49% of total Company sales for the first nine months of 2002 and 2001.
13 U.S. Commercial Staffing earnings from operations totaled $84.2 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to earnings of $90.1 million last year, a decrease of 6.5%. The 2.2% sales decrease, combined with a 0.3 percentage point decrease in the gross profit rate, produced the 6.5% earnings decline. The decline in the gross profit rate reflects both an ongoing shift in mix of sales to larger corporate and national accounts and decreases in fee based income. The year-over-year decrease in recruitment fee income for U.S. Commercial was 33% for the first nine months of 2002. Expenses were tightly controlled and decreased 2.7% year-over-year primarily due in large part to staff reductions and lower recruiting costs, partially offset by higher field bonus expenses. Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives Sales in the PTSA segment for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $841.9 million, an increase of 4.0% compared to the $809.5 million reported for the first nine months of 2001. This reflected a 5.1% increase in average hourly bill rates, partially offset by a 1.9% decrease in hours worked in the professional and technical businesses. Revenues in the staffing alternatives businesses, which include the staff leasing and management services business units, increased by 5.9% compared to the first nine months of 2001. PTSA sales represented 26% of total Company sales for the first nine months of 2002 as compared with 25% in the same period of 2001. For the first nine months of 2002, Kelly Healthcare Resources and Kelly Financial Resources continued to be the leading performers, exhibiting sales growth of 25% or better as compared to the comparable period in 2001. Kelly Staff Leasing, Kelly Engineering Resources, Kelly Information Technology Resources, Kelly Management Services and Kelly Law Registry also maintained positive sales growth. However, two large PTSA units, Kelly Automotive Services Group and Kelly Home Care, experienced revenue declines during the first nine months of 2002 as compared to the first nine months of 2001. These decreases, however, were consistent with industry trends in their staffing sectors. PTSA earnings from operations for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $36.9 million and increased 2.5% from the same period in 2001. This was the result of the 4.0% increase in sales and a 0.8% decrease in expenses, partially offset by a 0.5 percentage point decrease in the gross profit rate. The decrease in the gross profit rate was due to changes in business unit mix and rate decreases in certain business units, such as Kelly Automotive Services Group and Kelly Information Technology Resources. The most significant factor impacting the business unit mix was the decline in sales at the Kelly Home Care unit, which has a higher than average gross profit rate. International Translated U.S. dollar sales in International for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $800.7 million, a 2.1% decrease compared to the $818.1 million reported in the first nine months of 2001. This resulted from a decrease in hours worked of 1.6% and a 20.8% decrease in recruitment fees, partially offset by a 0.1% increase in average hourly bill rates. On a constant currency basis, International revenue decreased 4% in the first nine months of 2002. International sales represented 25% of total Company sales in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001. International earnings from operations were $2.4 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in earnings from operations was the result of the 2.1% decrease in sales and a 0.8 percentage point decline in the gross profit rate, partially offset by a 3.0% reduction in expenses. The decline in the gross profit rate was primarily due to a 20.8% decrease in recruitment fee income, with the most significant decrease occurring in the United Kingdom. On a year-over-year basis, translated U.S. dollar expenses in the International segment decreased 3.0% primarily due to lower recruiting costs and the elimination of goodwill amortization. On a constant currency basis, expenses decreased 6%. Financial Condition Assets totaled $1.073 billion at September 29, 2002, an increase of 3.2% from the $1.039 billion at December 30, 2001. The Company's working capital position was $338.4 million at September 29, 2002, an increase of $16.4 million from year-end 2001. The current ratio was 1.9 at both third quarter-end 2002 and year-end 2001. Cash and short-term investments totaled $84.7 million at September 29, 2002, an increase of $0.6 million compared to the $84.1 million at year-end 2001.
14 During the first nine months of 2002, net cash from operating activities totaled $42.8 million, a decrease of 59.1% from the comparable period in 2001. This decrease is primarily due to a $39.4 million increase in the accounts receivable balance, compared to the $41.7 million decrease in accounts receivable during the same period in 2001. The change in the accounts receivable balance resulted primarily from increasing sales trends during 2002, as opposed to decreasing sales trends in 2001. The global days sales outstanding for the third quarter of 2002 were 48 days, a two-day improvement compared to the third quarter of last year. Short-term debt totaled $27.8 million at September 29, 2002, which decreased $5.1 million compared to the $32.9 million level at year-end 2001. All short-term borrowings are foreign currency denominated and reduce the Company's exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. At third quarter end, debt represented less than 5% of total capital. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $20.0 million, down 35.6% from the $31.1 million spent in the first nine months of 2001. For 2002, capital expenditures are expected to total between $30 and $35 million. Depreciation and amortization for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $33.3 million, an increase of 2.9% compared to the $32.4 million for same period of 2001. As a result of the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 at the beginning of 2002, the Company will eliminate approximately $2.7 million of amortization of goodwill in 2002. Approximately $2.0 million of amortization was eliminated in the first nine months of 2002, which was offset by a $2.9 million increase in depreciation. For planning purposes, the Company expects depreciation and amortization of intangible assets other than goodwill to total approximately $44 to $46 million for 2002, reflecting on-going implementation of major IT projects, including the Company's StaffNet branch automation system. Stockholders' equity was $609.3 million at September 29, 2002, which represents a $2.2 million increase as compared to year-end 2001. The increase in stockholders' equity is primarily the result of the change in accumulated foreign currency adjustments, partially offset by an increase in treasury stock. On July 1, 2002 the Company repurchased 500,000 shares of Class A common stock from the William R. Kelly Trust. The total value of the share repurchase was $13.1 million. The repurchase transaction was reflected in the Company's third quarter financial statements. Dividends paid per common share were $.10 in the third quarter of 2002, a decrease of 60% from dividends of $.25 per share in the third quarter of 2001, reflecting the change in the Company's dividend policy implemented in November 2001. The Company's financial position remains strong. The Company continues to carry no long-term debt and expects to meet its growth requirements principally through cash generated from operations, available cash and short term investments and committed, unused credit facilities. The Company has no material unrecorded commitments, losses, contingencies or guarantees associated with any related parties or unconsolidated entities. Market Risk-Sensitive Instruments And Positions The Company does not hold or invest in derivative contracts. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily due to its net investment in foreign subsidiaries, which conduct business in their local currencies. This risk is mitigated by the use of the Company's multi-currency line of credit. This credit facility is used to borrow in local currencies which mitigates the exchange rate risk resulting from foreign currency-denominated net investments fluctuating in relation to the U.S. dollar. In addition, the Company is exposed to interest rate risks through its use of the multi-currency line of credit. In addition, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of its obligation to pay benefits under its nonqualified deferred compensation plan and its related investments in company-owned variable universal life insurance policies. The obligation to employees increases and decreases based on movements in the equity and debt markets. The investments in publicly traded mutual funds, as part of the company-owned variable universal life insurance policies, are designed to mitigate this risk with offsetting gains and losses. Overall, the Company's holdings and positions in market risk-sensitive instruments do not subject the Company to material risk.
15 New Accounting Standard In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which supercedes EITF No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred, rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan as was required by EITF No. 94-3. This statement is effective for disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Forward-Looking Statements Except for the historical statements and discussions contained herein, statements contained in this report relate to future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties, such as: competitive market pressures including pricing, changing market and economic conditions, material changes in demand from large corporate customers, availability of temporary workers with appropriate skills required by customers, increases in wages paid to temporary workers not passed on to customers, currency fluctuations, changes in laws and regulations, the Company's ability to effectively implement and manage its information technology programs, the ability of the Company to successfully expand into new markets and service lines and other factors discussed in the report and in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ materially from any projections contained herein. Item 4.
