TROY, Mich., Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kelly (Nasdaq: KELYA) (Nasdaq: KELYB), a leading specialty talent solutions provider, today announced results for the second quarter of 2020.

Peter Quigley, president and chief executive officer, announced revenue for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $1.0 billion, a 28.7% decline, or 27.7% in constant currency, compared to the corresponding quarter of 2019. Revenues declined as a result of lower demand during the quarter as customers reacted to the COVID-19 crisis.

Earnings from operations for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $11.1 million, compared to the $34.8 million reported for the second quarter of 2019. The 2020 second quarter results include an adjustment to restructuring charges, and the second quarter of 2019 results included an adjustment to restructuring charges and a $12.3 million gain on sale of assets. On an adjusted basis, earnings from operations were $10.9 million compared to $21.9 million in the corresponding quarter of 2019.

Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2020 were $1.04 compared to earnings per share of $2.12 in the second quarter of 2019. Included in the earnings per share in the second quarter of 2020 is a non-cash gain, net of tax, on Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common stock of $0.52. Included in the earnings per share in the second quarter of 2019 is $1.07 from a non-cash gain per share on Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common stock, net of tax, gain on sale of assets, net of tax of $0.23, and a $0.01 per share adjustment to restructuring charges, net of tax. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $0.51 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $0.81 for the corresponding quarter of 2019.

“The impact of COVID-19 continued throughout the second quarter as closures and widespread uncertainty resulted in reduced customer demand and lower top-line growth,” stated Quigley. “Amid this unprecedented environment, Kelly initiated several quick and decisive actions to protect its profitability and liquidity and captured available upside in resilient, high-margin areas of our business. While we continue to closely manage the impact of the pandemic, we’re making steady progress on our strategy toward specialization. We stayed on schedule in deploying our new front office technology and we’re now organized as five specialty businesses based on the skill sets modern organizations need to grow and thrive. I believe these are important steps in setting the stage for a more profitable and resilient portfolio in the post-pandemic world. I’m proud that Kelly’s teams have continued to advance our strategy during this stressful time while taking care of our talent and customers with speed and agility.”

In conjunction with its second quarter earnings release, Kelly has published a financial presentation on the Investor Relations page of its public website and will host a conference call at 9:00 a.m. (ET) on August 6 to review the results and answer questions.

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

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2020 goodwill impairment charge, the 2020 and 2019 gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings, the 2020 and 2019 gains on sale of assets, and the 2020 and 2019 restructuring charges, are useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2020 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of these items allows for a meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. Management also believes that such measures are used by those analyzing performance of companies in the staffing industry to compare current performance to prior periods and to assess future performance.

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 goodwill impairment charge is the result of an interim impairment test the Company performed during the first quarter of 2020, due to a triggering event caused by a decline in the Company's common stock price.

(2) 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.

(3) Gain on sale of assets in 2020 represents the excess of the proceeds over the cost of the headquarters properties sold during the first quarter of 2020. Gain on sale of assets in 2019 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.

(4) Restructuring charges in 2020 represent severance costs and lease terminations in preparation for the new operating model to be in place in the third quarter of 2020. Restructuring charges in 2019 represent severance costs primarily related to U.S. branch-based staffing operations.
