TROY, MI (February 4, 2016) -- Kelly Services (Nasdaq: KELYA) (Nasdaq: KELYB), a global leader in providing workforce solutions, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2015.

Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled
$1.5 billion, a 3% increase (a 7% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the corresponding quarter of 2014. Revenue for the full year totaled $5.5 billion, a 1% decrease (a 5% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year. Fourth quarter 2015 and fiscal 2015 include 14 and 53 weeks, respectively.

Earnings from operations for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $26.5 million, compared to $2.6 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2014. The results of operations in the fourth quarter of 2014 included restructuring charges of $6.2 million. Excluding the restructuring charges, earnings from operations were $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Earnings from operations for the full year of 2015 totaled $66.7 million compared to $21.9 million in 2014. Included in the results from operations for 2014 are restructuring charges of $12.0 million. Excluding this item, earnings from operations were $33.9 million in 2014.

Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $0.88 compared to $0.44 per share in the fourth quarter of 2014. Included in diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 are restructuring charges of $0.10 per share. Excluding this item, diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $0.54 per share.

Diluted earnings per share for the full year of 2015 were $1.39 compared to $0.61 per share in 2014. The diluted earnings per share for 2014 included restructuring charges of $0.19 per share. Excluding this item, diluted earnings per share for 2014 were $0.81 per share.

Commenting on the fourth quarter, Camden stated, “Kelly’s fourth quarter performance capped off a year of solid earnings growth, and we are very pleased with our strong operating leverage and strategic execution throughout 2015.  All told, excluding the 2014 restructuring charges, we dropped nearly 70% of our full-year constant currency GP dollar growth to the bottom line. Kelly has entered 2016 as a more efficient organization keenly focused on profitability…and we expect our investments in PT and OCG to continue yielding results as we expand Kelly’s role as a trusted talent advisor to our clients worldwide.”

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 is useful to understand the Company's financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding this item 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.
