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

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the restructuring charges and asset impairment charges is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2014 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.

(1) Restructuring charges in 2014 includes costs related to the U.S. management simplification restructuring plan, costs incurred for exiting the staffing business in Sweden, and costs related to closing branches in Australia and consolidating back office functions in Australia and New Zealand. Restructuring charges in 2013 relate to the Company's decision to exit the executive search business operating in Germany, and primarily relate to severance costs from exiting this business.

(2) Asset impairment charges represent the write-off of the carrying value of long-lived assets related to the decision to exit the executive search business operating in Germany.
