ManpowerGroup Reports 4th Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results

MILWAUKEE, January 31, 2017 -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) today reported net earnings of $1.87 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $1.66 per diluted share in the prior year period. The net earnings in the quarter were $127.4 million compared to $123.9 million a year earlier. Revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $5.0 billion, which was equal to the year earlier period.
Financial results in the quarter were significantly impacted by the stronger U.S. dollar relative to several foreign currencies compared to the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 3% and net earnings per diluted share increased 17%. Earnings per share were negatively impacted 7 cents by changes in foreign currencies compared to the prior year. The quarter included a favorable impact due to an insurance settlement which increased earnings per share by 7 cents.
Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO, said: "We are very pleased with our strong performance in the 4th quarter, with improving top line growth and strong bottom line performance, capping off a solid year, despite the uneven and slow growth environment in 2016.
“Our clients appreciate the breadth, global scale and innovation of our services and solutions, helping them reach their business objectives in an uncertain environment. The workforce solutions we provide to our clients also help millions of individuals enhance their employability and skills. Those are the fundamental drivers of our confidence in our continued business progress and our passion for sustainable and meaningful employment wherever we are in the world. We look forward to building on our progress in 2017, helping our clients and candidates win in the changing world of work.
“We are anticipating diluted earnings per share in the first quarter 2017 to be in the range of $1.06 to $1.14 which includes an estimated unfavorable currency impact of 5 cents.” Prising stated.
Net earnings per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $6.27 compared




to $5.40 per diluted share in 2015. Net earnings were $443.7 million compared to $419.2 million in the prior year. Revenues for the year were $19.7 billion, an increase of 2% in U.S. dollars from the prior year and an increase of 4% in constant currency.
2016 earnings were unfavorably impacted by 15 cents per diluted share due to changes in foreign currencies compared to the prior year.
In conjunction with its fourth quarter and full year earnings release, ManpowerGroup will broadcast its conference call live over the Internet on January 31, 2017 at 7:30 a.m. CST (8:30 a.m. EST).
