Kelly Reports
First-Quarter 2023 Earnings
•Q1 revenue down 2.2%; down 1.4% in constant currency; organic revenue nearly flat (down 0.5% in constant currency)
•Q1 gross profit down 1.7%; down 0.8% in constant currency; delivered continued improvement in GP rate, 20.0%, up 10 bps year-over-year
•Q1 operating earnings of $10.7 million, including a $5.7 million restructuring charge, or $16.4 million on an adjusted basis
•Initiated a comprehensive business transformation program to significantly improve EBITDA margin
TROY, Mich., (May 11, 2023) – Kelly (Nasdaq: KELYA, KELYB), a leading specialty talent solutions provider, today announced results for the first quarter of 2023.
Peter Quigley, president and chief executive officer, announced revenue for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $1.3 billion, a 2.2% decrease, or 1.4% decrease in constant currency, compared to the corresponding quarter of 2022, with organic, constant currency revenue down 0.5%. Year-over-year revenue trends were impacted by foreign currency headwinds and the impact of the sale of Russian operations in July 2022. Year-over-year results in the quarter also reflect the impact of the 2022 acquisitions of RocketPower, a recruitment process outsourcing firm, and Pediatric Therapeutic Services, a specialty firm providing in-school therapy services.
“Taking into account well recognized macroeconomic headwinds, we delivered solid results as our specialty solutions proved more resilient than others. Our Education segment and our more profitable outcome-based solutions in both P&I and SET continued to deliver solid growth, while, as expected, our staffing businesses faced decreased demand in this environment,” said Quigley.
Kelly reported operating earnings in the first quarter of 2023 of $10.7 million, compared to earnings of $23.4 million reported in the first quarter of 2022. Earnings in the first quarter of 2023 included a $5.7 million restructuring charge. The restructuring charge reflects cost management actions in response to the current demand levels and to reposition the Professional & Industrial staffing business to better capitalize on opportunities in local markets. Excluding the restructuring charge, adjusted earnings from operations were $16.4 million. Earnings in the first quarter of 2022 included a $0.9 million gain on sale of assets and adjusted earnings were $22.5 million. Adjusted earnings declined year-over-year primarily as a result of lower revenues.
Earnings per share in the first quarter of 2023 were $0.29 compared to a loss per share of $1.23 in the first quarter of 2022. Included in the earnings per share in the first quarter of 2023 is an $0.11 per share restructuring charge, net of tax. Included in the first quarter of 2022 is a $1.69 loss per share, net of tax, on the sale of Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common shares and related transactions, partially offset by a $0.02 per share gain on sale of real property, net of tax. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $0.40 in the first quarter of 2023, a decline of 9% from $0.44 per share in the corresponding quarter of 2022.
As Kelly approaches the three-year anniversary of its operating model, Quigley went on to introduce a new phase in the company’s journey toward profitable growth. “We have made progress on our growth journey. Now, with an eye to the future, we are taking a bold approach to accelerate profitable growth. I’ve established a Transformation Management Office reporting directly to me and engaged an expert consulting firm to support our aggressive ambitions to create structural improvements in our business designed to convert our revenue and gross margin gains to significantly improve our EBITDA.” Quigley noted that regular progress updates will be provided starting in August.
Kelly also reported that on May 9, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend is payable on June 6, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 22, 2023.
In conjunction with its first-quarter earnings release, Kelly has published a financial presentation on the Investor Relations page of its public website and will host a conference call at 9 a.m. ET on May 11 to review the results and answer questions.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2023 restructuring charges, the 2022 sale of the Persol Holdings investment, the 2022 losses on the fair value changes of the investment in Persol Holdings, the 2022 losses on foreign currency matters, and the 2022 gain on sale of assets are useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2023 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of these items allows for a meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. Management also believes that such measures are used by those analyzing performance of companies in the staffing industry to compare current performance to prior periods and to assess future performance.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (percent of total GAAP revenue) which Management believes is useful to compare operating performance compared to prior periods and uses it in conjunction with GAAP measures to assess performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be used in conjunction with GAAP measurements. Management also uses year-to-date free cash flow (operating cash flows less capital expenditures) to indicate the change in cash balances arising from operating activities, net of working capital needs and expenditures on fixed assets.
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) In 2022, the loss on the investment in Persol Holdings represents the change in fair value up until the date of the sale of the investment on February 15, 2022 as well as the loss on the sale of the investment during the period presented and the related tax benefit.
(2) In 2022, the loss on foreign currency matters includes a $20.4 million loss on currency translation resulting from the substantially complete liquidation of the Company's Japan entity, partially offset by a $5.5 million foreign exchange gain on the Japan entity's USD-denominated cash balance. The foreign exchange gain is included in other (income) expense, net in the EBITDA calculation.
(3) Gain on sale of assets in 2022 is related to the sale of real property in the first quarter of 2022.
(4) Restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2023 represent severance costs and lease and other terminations as a result of management undertaking actions to further our cost management efforts in response to the current demand levels and reflects a repositioning of our P&I staffing business to better capitalize on opportunities in local markets.
(5) Other, net primarily represents amortization of capitalized hosted software implementation costs.
