KELLY SERVICES REPORTS 1st QUARTER 2008 RESULTS
TROY, MI (April 22, 2008) -- Kelly Services, Inc., a world leader in human resources solutions, today announced results for the first quarter of 2008.
Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the first quarter of 2008 totaled $1.4 billion, a 3% increase compared to the corresponding quarter in 2007.
Earnings from operations for the first quarter of 2008 totaled $12.9 million, a 23% increase compared to $10.5 million reported for the first quarter of 2007. Included in earnings from operations in the first quarter of 2007 are $2.6 million of restructuring costs related to our UK operations.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2008 were $0.23, an increase of 64% as compared to first quarter 2007 earnings of $0.14 per share. Included in first quarter 2007 diluted earnings is the $0.07 per share cost of the UK restructuring.
Commenting on the results, Camden said “We’re pleased that we delivered another quarter of solid, profitable results, despite the ongoing weak economic conditions and continued softness in the US staffing market. Our strategic commitment to diversify geographically, move into higher-margin, fee-based business, expand our professional and technical businesses, and improve operating margins, is proving its value.
“We have recently completed our organizational alignment to three regions-the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Commencing this quarter, we began the practice of separately reporting our Commercial and Professional and Technical financial results for each region. In addition, we’ve organized our Staffing Alternatives Businesses under our global Outsourcing and Consulting Group.”
Camden concluded, “We expect second quarter 2008 earnings from continuing operations to be in the range of $0.37 to $0.41 per share, compared to $0.41 per share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2007. Included in the second quarter 2007 earnings from continuing operations was $.07 of UK restructuring costs, as well as a $0.07 benefit from a temporary change in French payroll tax law.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
(In thousands of dollars except per share data)
Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the restructuring charge from prior year results is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2008 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding this item allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(1) The U.K. restructuring charge is comprised of facility exit costs associated with the closure of 22 branch locations and the accelerated depreciation of the leasehold improvements and personal property at the impacted locations.
