Good revenue growth and record levels of permanent recruitment activity, resulting in 4% revenue increase (10% constant currency (CC)) and gross profit margin of 17.4%
•
Strong performance of higher margin brands during the quarter with Experis recording 31% revenue growth (15% organic CC) and Talent Solutions 10% revenue growth (13% CC). Manpower delivered solid growth (-2% as reported; +5% organic CC).
•

MILWAUKEE, April 19, 2022 -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) today reported net earnings of $1.68 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.11 per diluted share in the prior year period. Net earnings in the quarter were $91.6 million compared to $62.0 million a year earlier. Revenues for the first quarter were $5.1 billion, a 4% increase from the prior year period.

The current year quarter included integration costs from the U.S. Experis acquisition and the net loss related to the sale of our Russia business in January. These costs reduced earnings per share by $0.20 in the current quarter. Excluding these costs, earnings per share was $1.88 per diluted share in the quarter.

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 10 cent negative impact to earnings per share in the quarter compared to the prior year. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 10% (6% organic constant currency) compared to the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of integration costs and the loss from our Russia disposition, on a constant currency basis net earnings per diluted share increased 64% during the quarter.

Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO, said, “Our first quarter results demonstrate very good execution of our strategic initiatives to improve our business mix and strong demand for our higher margin

 

 

offerings. Even with the tragic events unfolding in Ukraine we continue to see good growth opportunities overall for our staffing and workforce solutions services in Europe as well as globally.

I am very proud of how our ManpowerGroup teams are bringing our values to life, especially in Poland and neighboring European countries: providing immediate humanitarian support to refugees from Ukraine, acting swiftly to assess, reskill and match them to employment opportunities, and working closely with our clients to advise and redefine roles to help people find work and start new lives.

Overall, we made good progress during the first quarter and believe that our focus on profitable growth positions us well in 2022.

We anticipate diluted earnings per share in the second quarter will be between $2.31 and $2.39, which includes an estimated unfavorable currency impact of 19 cents. Our guidance excludes expected integration costs ranging from $4 million to $6 million.”

In conjunction with its first quarter earnings release, ManpowerGroup will broadcast its conference call live over the Internet on April 19, 2022 at 7:30 a.m. central time (8:30 a.m. eastern time).
