Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 declined 26 percent to $25.7 million, or 33 cents per diluted share, from $34.6 million, or 45 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Included in 2001 net income is $3.4 million (net of income taxes) or 4 cents per diluted share of amortization of intangible assets which are no longer amortized, as required by the new accounting rules effective January 1, 2002. Revenues for the second quarter totaled $2.6 billion, a decline of less than 1 percent from the year-earlier period. Systemwide sales were $2.9 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 3 percent revenue decline.
"The second quarter showed continued improvement in the trends, particularly in the U.S.," Manpower Chairman and CEO, Jeffrey A. Joerres, stated. "While we must remain cautious based on all of the conflicting economic indicators, our U.S. operation is clearly experiencing a recovery. The demand from our light manufacturing customers is leading the way and our office and professional services groups are also showing early signs of improvement. We have also experienced improving trends in some of our European operations, including France, but at a much more modest rate.
"Given our current trends, we anticipate our third quarter earnings per share to be in the range of 43 to 47 cents, which includes an estimated favorable currency impact of 4 cents," Mr. Joerres said.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $32.6 million or 42 cents per diluted share, down 47 percent from $61.5 million, or 80 cents per diluted share in 2001. Included in 2001 net income for the six months is $6.6 million (net of income taxes) or 9 cents per diluted share of amortization of intangible assets. Revenues for the six-month period were $4.9 billion, a decline of 7% from the prior year. Systemwide sales were $5.4 billion. On a constant currency basis, earnings per diluted share for the six-month period were 40 cents on a revenue decline of 7%.
