Manpower Reports 3rd Quarter 2006 Results

MILWAUKEE, WI, USA, October 17, 2006 – Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that earnings per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased 33 percent to $1.16 from 87 cents in the prior year period. Net income in the quarter increased to $100.6 million from $76.3 million a year earlier. Revenues for the third quarter totaled $4.6 billion, an increase of 12 percent from the year-earlier period.

Results for the third quarter were positively affected by relatively stronger foreign currencies compared to the prior year period. Foreign currency exchange rates had a positive impact of 4 cents for the quarter. On a constant currency basis, earnings per diluted share increased 29 percent on a 9 percent improvement in revenues.

Jeffrey A. Joerres, Manpower Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The Manpower team is hitting full stride when it comes to executing. Our European operations minus France improved operating unit profit in U.S. dollars by 54%; U.S. improved operating unit profit by 27%, while France improved in U.S. dollars by 22%. We are leveraging our growth which is evident by our revenue growth in U.S. dollars of 12%, resulting in net income growth in U.S. dollars of 32%.

“Revenue continues to be stable throughout many of the major geographies. Our European operations minus France led the way with a revenue increase in constant currency of 14% over third quarter of 2005. Fast growing countries include the Netherlands, Nordics, Italy, China, India and all of Eastern Europe.

“We are anticipating the fourth quarter of 2006 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.14 to $1.18, which includes an estimated positive currency impact of 4 cents,” Joerres stated.
