TROY, MI (May 6, 2015) -- Kelly Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: KELYA) (Nasdaq: KELYB), a leader in providing workforce solutions, today announced results for the first quarter of 2015.

Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $1.3 billion, a 1% decrease (a 4% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the corresponding quarter of 2014.

Earnings from operations for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $12.1 million, compared to $6.3 million reported for the first quarter of 2014.

Diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2015 were $0.10 compared to $0.07 per share in the first quarter of 2014.

Commenting on the first quarter, Camden stated, “We’re pleased with Kelly’s overall performance and our ability to double operating earnings over the same period last year. Our U.S. local markets are off to a strong start in 2015, and our expanded PT sales and recruiting teams are showing the solid growth we expected from our 2014 investments. In addition, our continued success in our OCG segment reflects our ability to help some of the world’s largest companies design and deliver more holistic solutions for acquiring and managing their talent.”
