TMP WORLDWIDE ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2001 RESULTS
-- THIRD QUARTER DILUTED ADJUSTED EPS OF $0.35 UP 35% --
-- REITERATES ITS EARLIER EPS ESTIMATES FOR 2001 AND 2002 --
NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 5, 2001 - TMP Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: TMPW), the world's
leading supplier of human capital solutions, including the pre-eminent Internet
career portal Monster.com(R) and the world's largest Yellow Pages advertising
agency, today reported diluted adjusted third quarter 2001 earnings per share of
$0.35, for an increase of 35% over the prior year period. The Company attributed
its leading market position, recurring revenue stream and ongoing profitability
improvements to the increase in earnings.
"We were pleased that we were still able to grow our business and report
increased earnings compared to last year, although third quarter results were
lower than we wanted," said Andrew J. McKelvey, Chairman and CEO of TMP
Worldwide. "As we previously indicated, our ability to generate top-line growth
in the near-term has been adversely impacted by the events of September 11th and
the sudden economic slowdown that followed. Consequently, we continue to manage
our business prudently to ensure that our costs are aligned with the lower
revenue expectations resulting from this slowdown. Nonetheless, we remain
confident about the long-term prospects of TMP Worldwide. Our confidence is
bolstered by our strong brand recognition, our diversified portfolio of products
and services, our unique ability to cross-sell these offerings, and our strong
balance sheet."

THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL REVIEW
Total commissions and fees for TMP Worldwide declined by 5% to $361.2
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, down from $381.1 million in
the third quarter of 2000. However, adjusted net income for the third quarter of
2001 was $39.6 million, up 36% from $29.1 million for the prior year period.
The decrease in total Company commissions and fees reflects declines in
Advertising & Communications, eResourcing, Executive Search and Directional
Marketing, substantially offset by the continued growth of Monster.com, the
flagship product of TMP's Interactive division, and an increase at
Monstermoving.com. Total Interactive commissions and fees for TMP were $174.3
million for the third quarter, a 38% increase from the $126.0 million reported
for the prior year period, as restated for pooling of interests transactions.
Quarter versus quarter comparative results for TMP Worldwide are as
follows (all numbers in thousands, except per share amounts):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS 3Q'01 3Q'00(1) % CHANGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Commissions and Fees $361,173 $381,114 -5%
Adjusted Operating Income (2) $ 60,437 $ 46,269 +31%
Adjusted EBITDA (2) $ 80,990 $ 60,590 +34%
Adjusted Net Income (3) $ 39,583 $ 29,117 +36%
Diluted Adjusted EPS (4) $ 0.35 $ 0.26 +35%
Diluted Weighted Avg. Shares 113,665 112,533 +1%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The adjusted operating income, EBITDA, net income and diluted EPS amounts
discussed herein reflect adjustments to exclude merger and integration costs
incurred in connection with companies acquired using the pooling of interests
method of accounting and the tax benefits thereon (please see the Endnotes).
Merger and integration costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were $20.2
million versus $14.8 million for the third quarter of 2000. Such costs include
transaction costs for the mergers completed in the respective year-to-date
periods, amortization of employee stay bonuses, separation pay, and office and
management integration costs.
A higher operating margin in Interactive operations contributed to a 31%
increase in adjusted operating income to $60.4 million and a 34% increase in
adjusted EBITDA to $81.0 million. The adjusted operating profit margin increased
to 16.7% for the third quarter, compared to 12.1% for the same period last year.

Jim Treacy, President and COO of TMP Worldwide, said, "While we are
clearly facing near-term challenges in our sector, our diversification of
products, markets and customers continues to provide us with the opportunity to
grow our earnings and increase our market share. Our Interactive services, in
particular, continue to gain share versus traditional recruitment and
advertising services, as evidenced by our strong gains in Interactive
commissions and fees in Monster.com and eResourcing. Additionally, with six
market-leading business lines serving their own distinct client bases, we are
aggressively pursuing opportunities to cross-sell our services to those sectors
and markets where the strongest demand exists today."
Monster.com's continued growth resulted in commissions and fees of $144.8
million for the third quarter of 2001, a 37% increase over the $105.5 million
reported in the third quarter of 2000. In addition, for the third quarter of
2001, Monster.com's adjusted operating profit was $51.4 million, up from $20.5
million in the third quarter of 2000, resulting in an adjusted operating margin
of 35.5%. Monstermoving.com also reported solid growth, as its commissions and
fees increased 30% to $4.0 million from $3.1 million for the same period last
year. The addition of new clients, increased website traffic and successful
cross-selling to the Directional Marketing client base accounted for most of
this growth.
Advertising & Communications' total commissions and fees, including its
Interactive business, were $51.1 million for the third quarter of 2001, a 22%
decrease from the $65.9 million reported for the third quarter of 2000.
Commissions and fees in Advertising & Communications' traditional operations
were $48.6 million for the third quarter of 2001, down from $56.8 million in the
third quarter of 2000, a decline of 14%, reflecting the continuing effects of
the difficult economic environment. However, due to this division's ongoing
focus on improving its cost structure, it continued to generate an adjusted
operating profit in the third quarter despite the reduced level of commissions
and fees. Advertising & Communications' strategy to reduce its dependency on
newspaper advertising commissions as the primary source of revenue continues to
be successful, as demonstrated
4
by its relative out performance of The Conference Board's Help Wanted Index for
the third quarter of 2001, which declined 34%.
eResourcing's total commissions and fees, including its Interactive
business, were $107.9 million, down 15% from $127.4 million for the same period
last year. eResourcing's traditional business generated $86.7 million in
commissions and fees during the third quarter, compared to $121.1 million
reported in the third quarter of last year, a 28% decrease, as the further
slowdown in the economy caused a significant decline in permanent placement
revenues in the U.S. However, eResourcing's Interactive contribution continued
to grow significantly, generating commissions and fees of $21.1 million, up 233%
over the same period last year. This increase reflects the ongoing synergies
between eResourcing and Monster.com's resume database and proprietary Web mining
tools.
Executive Search reported commissions and fees of $23.0 million in the
third quarter of 2001, down 52% from the third quarter of 2000, also reflecting
the further slowdown in the economy and retained searches, particularly
following the events of September 11th. Although demand for executive level
searches has declined, TMP's cross-selling initiatives and full-service offering
enables Executive Search consultants to provide their clients with recruiting
solutions that best meet their shifting human capital needs.
Directional Marketing's commissions and fees, including its Interactive
business, were $30.4 million for the third quarter of 2001, down slightly from
the $31.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2000. However, the continued
focus on increasing productivity and client retention enabled the division to
again improve its profitability during the quarter.
Consolidated commissions and fees as a percent of related billings for the
quarter ended September 30, 2001 were 56.3% compared to 52.3% for the prior year
period. This increase reflects the growth of the Company's Interactive
businesses, where TMP retains a greater portion of the amount billed to the
client.
MONSTER.COM CONTINUES TO GAIN SHARE OF THE ONLINE RECRUITMENT MARKET
Monster.com continued to report record traffic figures for the third
quarter, despite a short-term drop in site traffic following September 11th.
In September 2001, according to independent research conducted by Media
Metrix, Monster received 7.2 million unique visitors, up 64% from the 4.4
million visitors reported in September 2000. Monster.com's "power ranking(5)"
of 266.3 and its 62.4% of "career eyeball minutes(6)" also confirm its
leading position in the online recruitment market. Furthermore, the economic
slowdown has spurred additional growth in Monster.com's consumer base, as
indicated by the increase in job seeker members to more than 19 million, and
the increase in total number of resumes to more than 13 million. Monster.com
continues to revolutionize and lead the industry's secular shift towards full
service, online recruitment solutions by
5
introducing cost-effective products and services that connect employer's job
opportunities with millions of job seekers.
Jeff Taylor, Global Director Interactive, stated, "Monster.com's ability
to deliver strong results in the face of adversity is indicative of the strength
of our management team and our leadership position as the most comprehensive
provider of online recruitment solutions. With a database now of more than 13
million resumes, our value to clients has been increasing dramatically over the
last year as we clearly now provide companies with the world's largest pool of
available labor. Demographic labor shortages continue to exist today and we
believe that these shortages will become even more acute when the economy begins
to recover. At that time, employers are going to need to hire people even more
quickly and cost efficiently than before in order to maintain their competitive
positions and drive growth. Monster.com has become the industry standard for a
solution to meet these needs, which we believe will drive market share gains
when the demand shift occurs."
TMP MAINTAINS STRONG BALANCE SHEET
As of September 30, 2001, TMP had $317.6 million in cash and cash
equivalents on the balance sheet compared to $540.8 million as of June 30, 2001.
The decrease in cash is primarily a result of the Company's acquisition activity
and capital investments in the business during the quarter. Cash paid for
acquisitions, net of cash received from acquired companies, was approximately
$230 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, including $109 million
for the acquisition of Jobline International AB, one of Europe's leading online
professional recruitment companies.
Mr. Treacy stated, "We came into the economic downturn with a strong
balance sheet, and we will continue to manage our operations and focus on
working capital to enhance our cash position and preserve our financial
flexibility. Given the short-term economic uncertainty ahead, we have suspended
virtually all future acquisition activity, with the exception of potential
acquisitions in our Interactive division. This will allow us to concentrate our
efforts on the efficient integration of all our businesses, including
streamlining of management, systems, business processes and office locations. At
the same time, we will continue to invest in internal growth initiatives that
will increase our competitive standing, and position TMP as the clear leader
over the long-term."
STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS
In addition to Jobline International AB, TMP Worldwide completed several other
acquisitions in the third quarter of 2001. TMP's acquisitions are designed to
enhance its product and market reach and expand its global presence.
6
MONSTER.COM
o In July, TMP acquired IT Appointments Limited, a privately held
leading career site for IT professionals in Ireland. IT Appointments
provides a focused website dedicated to connecting IT job seekers
with top companies throughout the growing high-tech community in
Ireland and the U.K.
ADVERTISING & COMMUNICATIONS
During the quarter, the Advertising & Communications division acquired
five companies, expanding its reach in Europe and the United States. Of
particular note are:
o In July, TMP acquired Daric Limited, located in the U.K., which
serves to strengthen the division's position with local and national
government accounts, where recruitment is expected to remain
relatively stable.
o In September, TMP acquired US Motivation, Inc., a company that
focuses on employee retention and motivation primarily for sales
professionals through the design, implementation and operation of
sales incentive plans and promotional services to corporate clients
throughout the United States.
ERESOURCING
In the third quarter, the eResourcing division completed six acquisitions;
three firms in Europe, two in Australia, and one in North America. Of
particular note are:
o In July, TMP acquired Sale Search Rekrytering & Urval: Stockholm AB,
located in Sweden, which provides permanent placement services
primarily for sales and marketing professionals across a wide range
of industries, including media, IT and telecommunications, and
manufacturing.
o In August, TMP acquired Kudos Recruitment Limited, an IT contracting
and permanent staffing firm in the United Kingdom, which serves
primarily the IT and telecommunications industry in the U.K.,
Ireland and most of Continental Europe.
o In October, TMP completed the acquisition of Ernst & Young Human
Resources Services NV, also known as De Witte & Morel, the market
leader in human capital management in Belgium. One of the largest
recruitment companies in Continental Europe, De Witte expands the
reach of TMP's
7
eResourcing division in selection, mid-market search and candidate
assessment, as well as accounting, finance and human resource
consulting.
DIRECTIONAL MARKETING
o In August, TMP acquired The O'Connor Agency, which complements the
Company's existing position as the world's largest Yellow Page
advertising agency and provides strong revenues and cash flows for
TMP's North American business.
o Also in August, TMP acquired Hunt Marketing, Inc., expanding the
Company's telemarketing fulfillment business to the Midwest region
of the United States.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
o In September, Monster.com announced the launch of MonsterLearning
(www.monsterlearning.com), a unique online resource for consumers
managing learning as it relates to advancing their careers. Monster
debuted with MonsterLearning Search (ML Search), the first of
several products and services designed to help track, plan, manage
and assess career and professional growth. Leveraging Monster.com's
powerful search engine technology, ML Search offers learning seekers
the opportunity to explore and research all their options for
career-related learning. The one-stop search engine provides free
access to online and classroom courses, test preparation, degree
programs, certifications and other instructional materials such as
books and videos, anytime - 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
o Also in September, Monstermoving.com announced the launch of
Monstermoving Corporate Relocation Solutions, which provides
in-depth relocation information and support tools to companies that
relocate employees internationally and domestically.
NINE MONTH RESULTS
TMP reported total commissions and fees of $1,122.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $1,029.4 million for the
year-earlier period, an increase of 9%. Total Interactive commissions and fees
were $507.6 million, up $199.8 million or 65% versus $307.8 million for the same
period last year.
8
Monster.com's commissions and fees increased 63% to $420.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $258.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, primarily reflecting increased market share gains, and
the addition of new clients, products and services.
Monstermoving.com's commissions and fees increased 55% to $11.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $7.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, reflecting the addition of new clients, and
successful cross-selling efforts with Directional Marketing.
Advertising & Communications' total commissions and fees decreased 16% to
$160.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $190.6
million for the prior year period, reflecting the general decline in newspaper
classified advertising during the U.S. economic slowdown, partially offset by
growth in creative and value-added services, and the sale of innovative employee
communication products and services to corporate human resource departments.
eResourcing's total commissions and fees were $363.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, representing an increase of 2% compared to
$355.1 million for the prior year period. This increase primarily reflects the
impact of acquisition activity and continued demand for temporary contract
professionals, primarily for information technology and mid-level management,
but has been offset by a significant decline in permanent placement fees due to
the weak U.S. economic environment.
Executive Search's total commissions and fees were $87.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 36% compared to $135.3
million for the prior year, reflecting the continued impact that the slowdown in
the U.S. economy is having on executive level search bookings, particularly in
the U.S. financial services and information technology sectors.
Directional Marketing's total commissions and fees were $80.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 3% versus $82.6 million
for the prior year period, reflecting lower commissions paid by Yellow Page
publishers and higher discounts to major clients, partially offset by the
effects of rate increases and the addition of new clients.
Excluding merger and integration costs of $61.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and $37.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, which were incurred in connection with companies acquired
using the pooling of interests method of accounting, the Company reported
adjusted operating income of $144.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, up 38% from $104.5 million for the prior year period. This increase
primarily reflects the growing profitability of Monster.com and the
9
effects of strategic cost reduction initiatives across the entire Company.
Consequently, the adjusted operating profit margin for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 was 12.9% compared to 10.1% for the period ended September
30, 2000.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $200.2
million versus $145.6 million for the prior year, representing an increase of
38%. Adjusted net income increased 39% to $96.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, compared to $69.2 million for the prior year period.
Diluted adjusted earnings per share were $0.85 for the nine months ended
September 2001 versus $0.62 for the prior year, representing an increase of 37%.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK - TMP REITERATES 2001 AND 2002 ESTIMATES
The following estimates include the anticipated impact of mergers,
acquisitions and other business combinations completed before November 5, 2001,
and exclude merger and integration expenses incurred in connection with
companies acquired using the pooling of interests method of accounting.
FOURTH QUARTER AND TOTAL YEAR 2001
Bart Catalane, Chief Financial Officer of TMP Worldwide, said, "Given the
prevailing difficult economic environment, we remain cautious in our business
outlook for the near-term. We continue to estimate adjusted diluted earnings per
share of $0.24 to $0.26 for the fourth quarter of 2001. As a result, for the
full year 2001, the Company estimates adjusted diluted earnings per share in the
range of $1.09 to $1.11, which represents an increase of 17% to 19% over
adjusted diluted earnings of $0.93 per share in 2000. Interactive commissions
and fees for 2001 are estimated to be in the range of $655 million to $675
million, which represents a 44% to 49% increase above prior year's Interactive
commissions and fees of $453 million. The anticipated gains in Interactive are
expected to be offset by further declines in most of the Company's traditional
lines of business, specifically, Executive Search, eResourcing and Advertising &
Communications. As a result, total Company commissions and fees for 2001 are
estimated to be in the range of $1.45 billion to $1.47 billion, which represents
an increase of 3% to 4% above prior year's commissions and fees of $1.40
billion."
Total operating expenses for 2001 are still expected to be between 86% and
88% of the revised estimate for total Company commissions and fees. These
operating expenses include approximately $26 million of amortization of
intangibles and $170 million to $190 million of marketing and promotion
expenses, but exclude merger and integration expenses.
10
Due to the significant decline in market interest rates and the Company's
use of approximately $230 million in cash to complete third quarter
acquisitions, the Company still estimates net interest expense to be in the
range of zero to $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2001. The Company
believes that its continuing focus on cost reductions and improving working
capital, particularly in the area of accounts receivable, should result in
substantial positive cash flow.
2002
Mr. Catalane continued, "Although our short-term outlook is guarded, we
continue to believe that TMP is positioned for growth in 2002. Based on our
assumption that there will be a modest economic recovery in the second half of
2002, combined with several internal strategic and operating initiatives, we
believe TMP can maintain its top-line and drive meaningful bottom-line growth in
2002. Consequently, we continue to estimate that TMP will generate total Company
commissions and fees in the range of $1.47 billion to $1.49 billion for the full
year 2002, which is flat to 3% higher than the current estimate for total 2001.
We also estimate that adjusted diluted earnings per share for the full year 2002
will be in the range of $1.55 and $1.65. This estimate includes our anticipated
January 1, 2002 adoption of FASB 142, `Accounting for Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets,' which requires the elimination of goodwill amortization and
is estimated to benefit the company by approximately $0.10 to $0.12 per diluted
share. Reflecting this elimination of goodwill, 2001 would result in earnings
per share expectations of $1.19 to $1.21, rather than $1.09 to $1.11. Therefore,
on a comparable basis, we estimate that earnings will grow from a range of $1.19
to $1.21 in 2001 to a range of $1.55 to $1.65 in 2002, an increase of 28% to
39%. Lastly, reflecting the seasonality of our business and the modest recovery
expected in the second half of 2002, the estimated quarterly breakdown is: $0.23
to $0.25 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002; $0.31 to $0.33 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002; $0.49 to $0.52 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002;
and $0.52 to $0.55 for the quarter ended December 31, 2002."
Added Mr. Treacy, "We continue to believe that our broad geographic and
customer reach, extensive product offerings and cross-selling abilities, will
enable us to grow our market share and achieve our top-line objectives. In
addition, ongoing cost reduction programs continue to drive profitability at TMP
Worldwide. We reduced expenses on an annual basis by $50 million in the first
half of this year and we have completed our plans to reduce expenses by an
additional $60 million in the fourth quarter 2001 ensuring that our costs are
aligned with our lower revenue expectations for next year. Lastly, in 2002, we
also expect to benefit from the full-year impact of our 2001 acquisitions, as
well as the impact of bringing Monster Europe to profitability and
Monstermoving.com to breakeven earlier than previously expected."

2 Operating profit and EBITDA have been adjusted to exclude the effects of
merger and integration costs of $20.2 million and $14.8 million for the
quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
3 Net income has been adjusted to exclude the effects of merger and
integration costs incurred, net of the tax benefits thereon, of $14.0

5 "Power ranking" is the result of Media Metrix "audience reach" multiplied
by Media Metrix "unique pages per visitor per month" and therefore
indicates a website's recognition by and usefulness to consumers (who in
Monster.com's case are job seekers).
6 "Career eyeball minutes" is the result of Media Metrix "unique visitors"
multiplied by Media Metrix "average minutes per visitor per month" and
therefore indicates a website's share of total career or job seeker
audience that month.
