Manpower Reports 2nd Quarter and First Half 2003 Results
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jul 17, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $29.1 million, or 37 cents per diluted share, an increase of 14 percent, from $25.7 million, or 33 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Revenues for the second quarter totaled $3.0 billion, an increase of 16 percent from the year-earlier period. Systemwide sales were $3.3 billion. Results for the second quarter were positively affected by relatively stronger foreign currencies compared to the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, earnings per diluted share for the quarter were 30 cents on a 1 percent improvement in revenues.
"Our second quarter performance was successful from a management perspective, however, we continue to be operating in a difficult economic environment in most of our markets around the world," said Jeffrey A. Joerres, Manpower Chairman and CEO. "Our operation in France made a sizable contribution to the quarter's profit, despite these challenges, and we also benefited from strong performances in Japan, Italy and Germany.
"In the second quarter we saw marginal increases in revenue on a global basis. However, in the U.S. we have yet to experience an increase in activity to indicate that we are in the midst of a meaningful upward economic turn," Joerres stated. "Based on our current trends, we anticipate third quarter earnings per share will be between 42 and 46 cents, including a 4 cent favorable impact from currency."
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $44.0 million or 56 cents per diluted share, an increase of 35 percent from $32.6 million, or 42 cents per diluted share in 2002. Revenues for the six-month period were $5.7 billion, an increase of 16 percent from the prior year. Systemwide sales were $6.2 billion. On a constant currency basis, earnings per diluted share for the six-month period were 43 cents on a 2 percent improvement in revenues.
