ManpowerGroup Reports 4th Quarter 2021 Results

6% revenue increase (9% constant currency (CC)) and gross profit margin of 17.2 in the quarter reflecting good growth in higher-margin offerings and record levels of permanent recruitment activity
All brands recorded revenue growth during the quarter with Experis recording strong 33% revenue growth (14% organic CC), Talent Solutions 10% revenue growth (11% CC) and Manpower 1% revenue growth (4% CC)
Expanded EBITA and operating profit margins during the quarter, reflecting continued progress as business mix improves, operating leverage strengthens and the ettain acquisition
Company repurchased $60 million of common stock during the quarter, paid down $75 million of the $150 million incremental borrowing used for ettain acquisition
Adjusted our geographic portfolio further in January 2022 through the sale of our Russia business which will operate as a franchise going forward

 

MILWAUKEE, February 1, 2022 -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) today reported net earnings of $2.02 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1.33 per diluted share in the prior year period. Net earnings in the quarter were $111.1 million compared to $76.2 million a year earlier. Revenues for the fourth quarter were $5.4 billion, a 6% increase from the prior year period.

The current year quarter included ettain group transaction and integration costs. These costs reduced earnings per share by $0.18 in the current quarter. Excluding these costs, earnings per share was $2.20 per diluted share in the quarter. The prior year period included restructuring costs which decreased earnings per share by $0.15.

Financial results in the quarter were also impacted by the stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies compared to the prior year period, resulting in a 4 cent negative impact to earnings per share in the quarter compared to the prior year. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 9% (6% organic constant currency) compared to the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of transaction and integration costs in the current year and restructuring costs in the prior year period, on a constant currency basis, net earnings per diluted share increased 51% during the quarter.

 


 

Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO, said, “Our fourth quarter results reflect good growth in higher margin offerings and improved business mix leading to better operating leverage.

Our focus on our Diversification, Digitization and Innovation during the past year positions us well for a successful 2022. The acquisition of ettain is already enhancing the contribution of our IT resourcing capabilities in our Experis business. Talent Solutions delivered strong overall growth with record revenue levels in RPO and MSP during 2021. Ongoing initiatives in the Manpower business are driving significant year over year gross profit margin growth.

I thank all our people for their resilience, agility, and innovation -- providing our clients with the skilled talent and workforce solutions expertise they need more than ever in a strengthening labor market, while finding meaningful work for millions of people.

We anticipate diluted earnings per share in the first quarter will be between $1.56 and $1.64, which includes an estimated unfavorable currency impact of 10 cents. Our guidance excludes ettain integration costs ranging from $4 million to $6 million and the expected loss on sale of our Russia business of $8 million.”

Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $382.4 million, or net earnings of $6.91 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $23.8 million, or net earnings of $0.41 per diluted share in the prior year. The full year period included restructuring costs and ettain group acquisition and integration costs which reduced earnings per share by $0.33. Excluding these costs, earnings per share was $7.24 per diluted share for the year. The prior full year period included special items and restructuring costs which reduced earnings per share by $3.26. Revenues for the year were $20.7 billion, an increase of 15% from the prior year or an increase of 12% in constant currency (11% organic constant currency). Reported earnings per share for the year were positively impacted by 17 cents due to changes in foreign currencies compared to the prior year.

In conjunction with its fourth quarter and full year earnings release, ManpowerGroup will broadcast its conference call live over the Internet on February 1, 2022 at 7:30 a.m. central time (8:30 a.m. eastern time). Prepared remarks for the conference call are included within the Investor Relations section of our website at manpowergroup.com.
