TROY, MI (May 11, 2016) -- Kelly Services (Nasdaq: KELYA) (Nasdaq: KELYB), a global leader in providing workforce solutions, today announced results for the first quarter of 2016.

Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $1.3 billion, a 2.2% increase (a 4.6% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the corresponding quarter of 2015.

Earnings from operations for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $14.7 million, compared to $12.1 million reported for the first quarter of 2015.

Diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2016 were $0.29 compared to $0.10 per share in the first quarter of 2015. Included in diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2016 is a $0.07 improvement related to reinstatement of the Work Opportunity Credit.

Commenting on the first quarter, Camden stated, “We are pleased with Kelly’s ability to deliver solid increases in revenue, GP, and earnings in the first quarter, as we operated with improved efficiency and a heightened focus on profitability. Our investments in PT and OCG continue to yield results as we expand Kelly’s role as a trusted talent advisor to our clients worldwide.”

Kelly also reported that on May 10, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend is payable June 7 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 23, and represents a 50% increase. “We are very pleased that our strong, sustained operating results in 2015 gave us the ability to deliver this increase and to enhance shareholder value,” said Camden, “and with 2016 off to a solid start, we move forward with confidence.”
