Kelly Services (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB), a global leader in providing workforce solutions, today announced results for the third quarter of 2015.

Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $1.4 billion, a 3% decrease (a 3% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the corresponding quarter of 2014.

Earnings from operations for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $16.6 million, compared to $7.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2014. Included in the results of operations in the third quarter of 2014 are restructuring charges of $4.0 million. Excluding the restructuring charges, earnings from operations were $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2015 were $0.23 compared to $0.03 per share in the third quarter of 2014. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.10 in the third quarter of 2014. Included in the third quarter of 2015 was a foreign exchange impact of $0.06 per share.

Commenting on the third quarter, Camden stated, "Our third quarter results confirm that Kelly is operating as a more efficient organization, delivering both top-line growth and operating leverage. Excluding the 2014 restructuring charges, we dropped nearly 50% of our constant currency GP growth to the bottom line during the quarter; our 2014 investments in PT and OCG are continuing to yield results; and we're expanding Kelly's role as a trusted talent advisor to many of the world's top companies."

Kelly also reported that on November 3, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per share. The dividend is payable December 4 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 16.

KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
 

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the restructuring charges is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2015 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding these items allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
