TROY, Mich. (February 13, 2020) -- Kelly Services (Nasdaq: KELYA) (Nasdaq: KELYB), a global leader in providing workforce solutions, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2019.
Peter Quigley, president and chief executive officer, announced revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 totaled $1.3 billion, a 5.4% decrease, or 5.2% in constant currency, compared to the corresponding quarter of 2018.
Earnings from operations for the fourth quarter of 2019 totaled $13.1 million, compared to the $33.1 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2018. The 2019 fourth quarter results include a $15.8 million impairment charge related to a technology development project.
Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2019 were $0.43 compared to a loss per share of $0.62 in the fourth quarter of 2018. Included in the earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2019 was a $0.30 impairment charge, net of tax and a $0.01 gain, net of tax on Persol Holdings common stock. Included in the loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2018 is the unfavorable impact of $1.49 due to the non-cash after-tax loss on Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common stock.
Diluted earnings per share for the full year 2019 were $2.84 compared to $0.58 for 2018. Full-year earnings per share for 2019 were unfavorably impacted $0.40 by the after-tax impact of asset impairments and restructuring charges, and were favorably impacted $1.08 by the after-tax gain on Persol common stock, the gain on sale of assets, and the impact of recent acquisitions. Full-year earnings per share for 2018 were unfavorably impacted by the $1.69 non-cash after-tax loss on Persol Holdings common stock. On an adjusted basis, diluted earnings per share were $2.16 in 2019 compared to $2.27 in 2018. The impacts of these adjustments are more fully described in the included reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.
“Q4 continued the underlying dynamics we saw in Q3, including a weaker manufacturing sector, economic headwinds in Europe, and disruption from the 2019 restructuring of our U.S. operations,” noted Quigley. “The efficiencies we’ve gained are already bringing us increased agility and we have delivered good GP rate improvement, however, we have not yet delivered on top-line growth.” Quigley has made returning to growth a top priority since becoming CEO, while also taking other significant steps in his first 120 days: the sale and lease-back of the company’s HQ building to free up capital; the acquisition of Insight to further strengthen Kelly Education’s leading U.S. market position; the appointment of Kelly’s first-ever Chief Growth Officer; deployment of new front-office technology in the U.S. and Europe; and other actions designed to accelerate Kelly’s shift toward a more responsive, tech-enabled delivery model.
Today, Quigley announced three additional changes designed to accelerate growth and intensify Kelly’s specialty focus:
•The company will be managed by specialty: Professional & Industrial (formerly Commercial); Education; STEM (including Science, Engineering, and IT); OCG; and International. Each specialty will be led by a president, reporting directly to Quigley, who will work to accelerate each specialty’s top- and bottom-line results.

•Kelly will accelerate its M&A initiatives as part of an ambitious program to drive financial performance through growth in higher-margin businesses, focusing its capital allocations on investments and acquisitions that align with the company’s specialty solutions strategy.
•Kelly will share growth targets via its growth map, providing regular updates on progress against key financial goals the company intends to achieve.
“There’s no question there are a lot of positive changes underway at Kelly,” stated Quigley. “Although they’re at different stages of progress, they are necessary to address market challenges head-on, modernize our delivery models, leverage more agile operations, open new doors for organic and inorganic growth, and put us on a path to becoming a specialty talent company that delivers results for clients, talent, and shareholders.”
Kelly also reported that on February 12, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend is payable March 9, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 24, 2020.

KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2019 and 2018 gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings, the 2019 restructuring charges, the 2019 acquisitions, the 2019 gain on sale of assets and the 2019 asset impairment charge are useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2019 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of 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)The gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings represent the change in fair value of the investment during the period presented and the related tax expense and benefit.
(2)Restructuring charges in 2019 represent severance costs primarily related to U.S. branch-based staffing operations.
(3)NextGen and GTA were acquired on January 2, 2019, and were included in the reported results of operations of Americas Staffing and GTS segments, respectively, from the date of acquisition.
(4)Gain on sale of assets primarily represents the excess of the proceeds over the cost of an unused parcel of land located near the Company headquarters sold during the second quarter of 2019.
(5)Asset impairment charge represents the write-off of previously capitalized costs associated with a U.S. front and middle office technology development project that we determined we would not complete in order to enhance and expand a technology platform already in existence.
