Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that net income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 increased 54.9 percent to $40.1 million, or 52 cents per diluted share, from $26.0 million, or 34 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Included in 2001 net income is $4.3 million (net of income taxes) or 5 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 fourth quarter totaled $2.8 billion, an increase of 11.9 percent from the year-earlier period. Systemwide sales were $3.1 billion. Results for the fourth 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 44 cents on a 4.5 percent revenue increase.
Jeffrey A. Joerres, Manpower Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "We performed well in the fourth quarter. We continued to gain traction throughout all of our major operations. France, our largest operation, performed extraordinarily well, given the economic conditions and, once again, our geographical diversification benefited our earnings.
"In the difficult economic environment of 2002, we improved our cash flow and strengthened our balance sheet. Equally important, we strengthened our position in the marketplace through expansion of offices in the specialty service areas, launching new services and better execution of our strategies.
"This is an exciting time for Manpower, as we are well positioned to capitalize when the economies improve. Our accomplishments in 2002 are a credit to the diligent work of the Manpower team worldwide.
"Despite our optimism regarding 2003, we are still confronted with uncertainty in the majority of the markets where we operate. The acceleration that we experienced at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter has slowed somewhat, which necessitates that we approach the first quarter of 2003, and potentially more of the year, with caution. We anticipate earnings per share for the first quarter of 2003 in the range of 16 to 20 cents. This includes an estimated favorable currency impact of 5 cents," Joerres said.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $113.2 million or $1.46 per diluted share, down 9.1 percent from $124.5 million, or $1.62 per diluted share in 2001. Included in 2001 net income is $14.8 million (net of income taxes) or 19 cents per diluted share of amortization of intangible assets. Revenues for the year were $10.6 billion, an increase of 1.2% from the prior year. Systemwide sales were $11.8 billion. On a constant currency basis, earnings per diluted share for the year were $1.29 on a revenue decline of 2.0%.
