	(1) Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

	Basis of Presentation

	Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2013 Annual Report to Shareholders.

	The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

	In accordance with the current accounting guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, we perform an annual impairment test of goodwill at our reporting unit level and indefinite-lived intangible assets at our unit of account level during the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying value.

	We performed our annual impairment test of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the third quarter of 2014 and determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill or our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

	Significant assumptions used in our annual goodwill impairment test during the third quarter of 2014 included: expected future revenue growth rates, operating unit profit margins, and working capital levels; discount rates ranging from 11.7% to 17.8%; and a terminal value multiple. The expected future revenue growth rates and operating unit profit margins were determined after taking into consideration our historical revenue growth rates and operating unit profit margins, our assessment of future market potential, and our expectations of future business performance.

	Subsequent Events

	We have evaluated events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through our filing date and noted no events that are subject to recognition or disclosure.

	(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

	In March 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on cumulative translation adjustment. The new guidance requires that currency translation adjustments should be released into net income only if the sale of a foreign subsidiary results in the complete liquidation of the entity. For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the currency translation adjustments should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment. The new guidance also clarifies that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity and (2) events that result in an acquirer’s obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date, otherwise known as a “step acquisition.” Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon the occurrence of those events. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2014. There was no impact of this adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

	In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit. The new guidance requires that, in certain cases, an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to the deferred tax asset when there is an existing net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or an existing tax credit carryforward. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2014. There was no impact of this adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

	In April 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The new guidance changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results and when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, is disposed by sale or is disposed of by other than by sale. The guidance is effective for us in 2015. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

	In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for us in 2017 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

	In September 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and if so, disclose that fact. Management is also required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The guidance is effective for us in 2017 and will be applicable to both annual and interim reporting periods. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The expense relates to stock options, deferred stock, restricted stock and performance share units. Consideration received from share-based awards was $24.3 and $65.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	We recorded net restructuring costs of $62.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 in selling and administrative expenses, related to severances and office closures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made payments of $30.8 out of our restructuring reserve. We expect a majority of the remaining $17.6 reserve will be paid by the end of 2015.

	Changes in the restructuring reserve by reportable segment and Corporate are shown below.

	We recorded an income tax expense at an effective rate of 35.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to an effective rate of 39.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The 2014 rate was favorably impacted by a change in the overall mix of earnings, primarily an increase to non-U.S. income, and a deemed repatriation. The 35.5% effective tax rate in the quarter was slightly higher than the United States Federal statutory rate of 35%, and we currently expect an annual effective tax rate of approximately 37%, due primarily to the French business tax, repatriations, valuation allowances and other permanent items.

	We recorded an income tax expense at an effective rate of 37.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to an effective rate of 41.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The 2014 rate was favorably impacted by a change in the overall mix of earnings, primarily an increase to non-U.S. income, and a deemed repatriation. The 37.9% effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was higher than the United States Federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the French business tax, repatriations, valuation allowances and other permanent items.

	As of September 30, 2014, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $33.8. We had related tax benefits of $1.9, and the net amount of $31.9 would favorably impact the effective tax rate if recognized. As of December 31, 2013, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $32.3. We had related tax benefits of $1.9 for a net amount of $30.4. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months.

	We conduct business globally and, as a result, we are routinely audited by the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Generally, the tax years that remain subject to tax examination are 2009 through 2013 for our major operations in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. As of September 30, 2014, we are subject to tax audits in Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Norway and Spain. We believe that the resolution of these audits will not have a material impact on earnings.

	(12) Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

	We are exposed to various risks relating to our ongoing business operations. Among these risks are foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, which can be managed through the use of derivative instruments. In certain circumstances, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates on our cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations. We have historically managed interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed and variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap agreements. In accordance with current accounting guidance on derivative instruments and hedging activities, we record all of our derivative instruments as either an asset or liability measured at their fair value.

	A portion of the €350.0 ($442.0) notes due June 2018 were designated as an economic hedge of our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries with a Euro functional currency as of September 30, 2014. For derivatives designated as an economic hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss associated with foreign currency translation is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of taxes. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had an unrealized translation loss of $36.2 and $60.6, respectively, included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of taxes, as the net investment hedge was deemed effective.

	Our forward contracts are not designated as hedges. Consequently, any gain or loss resulting from the change in fair value is recognized in the current period earnings. These gains or losses are offset by the exposure related to receivables and payables with our foreign subsidiaries and to interest due on our Euro-denominated notes, which is paid annually in June. We recorded a loss in interest and other expenses of $0.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a gain of $0.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and gains of $0.9 and $0.6 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, associated with our forward contracts, which offset the loss and gain recorded for the items noted above.

	The fair value measurements of those items recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:

				Fair Value Measurements Using
		September 30,		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs

	The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value, except for the Euro-denominated notes. The fair value of the Euro-denominated notes, as observable at commonly quoted intervals (level 2 inputs), was $496.0 and $520.1 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $442.0 and $480.9, respectively.

Segment Data	'
	(13) Segment Data

	We are organized and managed primarily on a geographic basis, with Right Management currently operating as a separate global business unit. Each country and business unit generally has its own distinct operations and management team, providing services under our global brands, and maintains its own financial reports. We have an executive sponsor for each global brand who is responsible for ensuring the integrity and consistency of delivery locally. Each operation reports directly or indirectly through a regional manager, to a member of executive management. Given this reporting structure, all of our operations have been segregated into the following reporting segments: Americas, which includes United States and Other Americas; Southern Europe, which includes France, Italy and Other Southern Europe; Northern Europe; APME; and Right Management.

	The Americas, Southern Europe, Northern Europe and APME segments derive a significant majority of their revenues from the placement of contingent workers. The remaining revenues within these segments are derived from other workforce solutions and services, including recruitment and assessment, training and development, and ManpowerGroup Solutions. ManpowerGroup Solutions includes Talent Based Outsourcing (TBO), TAPFIN - Managed Service Provider (MSP), Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Borderless Talent Solutions (BTS), Strategic Workforce Consulting (SWC) and Language Services. The Right Management segment revenues are derived from career management and talent management services. Segment revenues represent sales to external clients. Due to the nature of our business, we generally do not have export sales. We provide services to a wide variety of clients, none of which individually comprise a significant portion of revenues for us as a whole.

	During the second quarter of 2014, we accrued legal costs of $9.0 in the United States related to a settlement agreement in connection with a lawsuit in California involving allegations regarding our wage statements. The settlement agreement is still subject to final court approval which is expected later this year. We believe that the settlement is in our best interest to avoid the costs and disruption of ongoing litigation.

	In France, during the second quarter of 2013, we experienced a significant increase in claims against us, requesting refunds for various payroll tax subsidies that we have received dating back to 2003 related to our French temporary associates. In March 2014, the French Supreme Court ruled in our favor on this matter, confirming that, as a matter of law, the benefit of the payroll tax subsidies belongs to the direct employer of the temporary associates. We do not expect to incur any losses as all of these claims have now been withdrawn as a result of this ruling.

	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

	In accordance with the current accounting guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, we perform an annual impairment test of goodwill at our reporting unit level and indefinite-lived intangible assets at our unit of account level during the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying value.

	We performed our annual impairment test of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the third quarter of 2014 and determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill or our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

	Significant assumptions used in our annual goodwill impairment test during the third quarter of 2014 included: expected future revenue growth rates, operating unit profit margins, and working capital levels; discount rates ranging from 11.7% to 17.8%; and a terminal value multiple. The expected future revenue growth rates and operating unit profit margins were determined after taking into consideration our historical revenue growth rates and operating unit profit margins, our assessment of future market potential, and our expectations of future business performance.

	(a)	In the United States, where a majority of our franchises operate, revenues from services include fees received from the related franchise offices of $4.4 and $4.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $11.7 and $11.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $196.3 and $181.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $555.7 and $512.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	(b)	Our consolidated revenues from services include fees received from our franchise offices of $6.9 and $6.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $18.8 and $18.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $302.0 and $285.4 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $845.2 and $792.4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	(c)	We evaluate segment performance based on operating unit profit (“OUP”), which is equal to segment revenues less cost of services and branch and national headquarters operating costs. This profit measure does not include goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges or amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, interest and other income and expense amounts or income taxes.

The majority of the Corporate balance relates to goodwill attributable to our acquisition of Jefferson Wells ($55.5) which is now part of the United States reporting unit. For purposes of monitoring our total assets by segment, we do not allocate the Corporate balance to the respective reportable segments as this is commensurate with how we operate our business. We do, however, include these balances within the appropriate reporting units for our goodwill impairment testing. See table below for the breakout of goodwill balances by reporting unit.

[1]	Our consolidated revenues from services include fees received from our franchise offices of $6.9 and $6.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $18.8 and $18.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $302.0 and $285.4 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $845.2 and $792.4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
[2]	In the United States, where a majority of our franchises operate, revenues from services include fees received from the related franchise offices of $4.4 and $4.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $11.7 and $11.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $196.3 and $181.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $555.7 and $512.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
[3]	We evaluate segment performance based on operating unit profit OUP which is equal to segment revenues less cost of services and branch and national headquarters operating costs. This profit measure does not include goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges or amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, interest and other income and expense amounts or income taxes.
