Manpower Reports 2nd Quarter and First Half 2006 Results
MILWAUKEE, July 19, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased 30 percent to 91 cents from 70 cents in the prior year period. Net income in the quarter increased to $80.4 million from $62.5 million a year earlier. Revenues for the second quarter totaled $4.4 billion, an increase of 10 percent from the year-earlier period. Results for the second quarter were not significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Jeffrey A. Joerres, Manpower Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We had very strong results across nearly all business units in the second quarter. The relentless execution of our key strategies of elevating and broadening our relationships with our clients, and improving our efficiency through speed and quality is producing superior results.
"Our performance underscores the momentum that we have established over the past eighteen months. As we move into the second half of 2006, our major geographies and business units continue to be well-positioned for a strong year.
"We are anticipating the third quarter of 2006 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.00 to $1.04, which includes an estimated favorable currency impact of 2 cents," Joerres stated.
Earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.50, an increase of 46 percent from $1.03 per diluted share in 2005. Net income was $133.0 million compared to $94.7 million the prior year. Revenues for the six-month period were $8.4 billion, an increase of 7 percent from the prior year or 11 percent in constant currency. Foreign currency exchange rates had a negative impact of 5 cents for the six-month period.
Included in the 2006 six-month period was a 27 cents per diluted share gain on the sale of a payroll processing business in Sweden, and a 16 cents per diluted share charge related to reorganization and a global cost reduction initiative.
