MANPOWER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000
(IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(1) Basis of Presentation
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 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 the Company believes 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 the Company's 2000 Annual Report
to Shareholders.
The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for
the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Certain amounts in the 2000 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations," which requires all business combinations completed subsequent to
June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Although the
purchase method generally remains unchanged, this standard also requires that
acquired intangible assets should be separately recognized if the benefit of the
intangible assets are obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if
the intangible assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged,
regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so. Intangible assets separately
identified must be amortized over their estimated economic life. Goodwill or
identifiable intangible assets with an indefinite life resulting from such
business combinations are no longer required to be amortized.
This statement is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2001. The Company
has accounted for all previous acquisitions under the purchase method and the
related excess of purchase price over net assets was mainly goodwill, therefore,
the adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
During June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which prohibits the amortization of goodwill over an estimated useful
life. Rather, goodwill will be subject to impairment reviews by applying a
fair-value-based test at the reporting unit level, which generally represents
operations one level below the segments reported by the Company. An impairment
loss will be recorded for any goodwill that is determined to be impaired.
This statement is effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption,
the Company will perform an impairment test on all existing goodwill, which will
be updated at least annually. The Company has not yet determined the extent of
any impairment losses on its existing goodwill, however, any such losses are not
expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
(3) Acquisitions
8
During July 2001, the Company acquired Jefferson Wells International, Inc.
("Jefferson Wells"), a professional services provider of internal audit,
accounting, technology and tax services, for approximately $174.0, including
assumed debt. The acquisition of Jefferson Wells was financed through the
Company's existing credit facilities. Jefferson Wells operates a network of
offices throughout the United States and Canada. The substantial majority of the
purchase price is expected to be allocated to goodwill and other identifiable
intangible assets.
During the first six months of 2001, the Company also acquired and invested in
several companies throughout the world. The total consideration paid for such
transactions was $96.1 as of June 30, 2001, the majority of which was recorded
as goodwill. This consideration includes the final payment of $30.0 in deferred
consideration related to the Company's January 2000 acquisition of Elan Group
Limited.
(4) Income Taxes
The Company provided for income taxes at 36.0%, which is equal to the estimated
annual effective tax rate based on the currently available information. This
rate is higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to cost of foreign
repatriations, foreign tax rate differences and U.S. state income taxes.

======== ======== ======== ========
(8) Contingencies
The Company and a number of unrelated parties have been named as defendants in
numerous lawsuits, including a certified class action, in Louisiana asserting
claims primarily for personal injuries, property damage and lost profits
arising out of a 1999 explosion at a customer's industrial facility. The cases
have been consolidated before a single judge and some of the most serious ones
are set for trial on September 4, 2001. Allegedly, the injuries and damages
were caused in part by the actions of one of the Company's temporary employees.
Although several recent court rulings have been adverse to the Company, it
intends to continue to vigorously contest these lawsuits. Should the ultimate
judgements or settlements exceed the Company's insurance coverage, they could
have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial
position and cash flows. An estimate of our portion of any liability with
respect to these claims cannot be reasonably made with currently available
information.
The Company is also involved in a number of other lawsuits arising in the
ordinary course of business that will not, in the opinion of management, have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or
cash flows.
(9) Derivative Financial Instruments
Since June 1998, the FASB has issued SFAS Nos. 133, 137 and 138 related to
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133,
as amended" or "Statements"). These Statements establish accounting and
reporting standards requiring derivative instruments are recorded on the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. If the derivative
is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the
derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized
in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective
portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in the
consolidated statement of earnings when the hedged item affects earnings.
Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are
recognized in earnings.
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended. As a result of
adopting the standard, the Company recognized the fair value of all derivative
contracts as a net liability of $3.4 on the consolidated balance sheets. This
amount was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss). There was no impact on earnings.
The Company enters into various derivative financial instruments to manage
certain of its foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks. The
Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Management
In certain circumstances, the Company enters into foreign currency forward
exchange contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency
exchange rates on cash flows with foreign subsidiaries. Such contracts have been
designated as cash flow hedges and were considered highly effective as of June
30, 2001.
The Company's borrowings which are denominated in Euro, Japanese yen, and
British pounds have been designated and are effective as economic hedges of the
Company's net investment in its foreign
10
subsidiaries with the related functional currencies. Therefore, all translation
gains or losses related to these borrowings are recorded as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage the effects of interest
rate movements on the Company's variable rate borrowings. The swaps are
denominated in Euro and Japanese yen and exchange floating rate for fixed rate
payments on a periodic basis over the terms of the related borrowings. Such
contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and were considered highly
effective as of June 30, 2001.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Operating Results - Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000
Revenues decreased 3.5% to $2,620.1 million for the second quarter of 2001.
Revenues were unfavorably impacted by changes in currency exchange rates during
the second quarter of 2001 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, as
compared to the second quarter of 2000, relative to the currencies in most of
the Company's non-U.S. markets. At constant exchange rates, revenues would have
increased 2.5%. Acquisitions had a favorable impact of less than 1% on
consolidated revenues, on a constant currency basis, during the second quarter
of 2001.
The United States experienced a revenue decrease of 14.1% for the second quarter
of 2001 compared to 2000 due lower customer demand resulting from the economic
slowdown. Local currency revenue in France contracted .6% during the second
quarter of 2001 due to slowing of the French economy throughout the quarter.
Constant currency revenue increases for the second quarter of 2001 compared to
2000 were experienced in the United Kingdom (14.7%), Other Europe (11.5%) and
Other Countries (21.0%). Revenue growth rates in the United States, France and
Other Europe are down from those realized in the first quarter of 2001,
reflecting further slowing in the United States and recent slowing in France and
most other continental-European markets.
Gross profit increased 2.4% to $489.1 million for the second quarter of 2001
compared to 2000. Gross profit margin increased 110 basis points (1.1%) from the
second quarter of 2000 to 18.7% in 2001. This increase is due primarily to
improving business mix to higher value services and improved pricing in most of
the Company's major markets.
Selling and administrative expenses increased 4.5% to $426.4 million in the
second quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. This expense level
is lower than that incurred during the first quarter of 2001, reflecting the
Company's cost reduction efforts. As a percent of gross profit, these expenses
were 87.2% in the second quarter of 2001 compared to 85.4% in the second quarter
of 2000. The increase is due primarily to the de-leveraging of the business
caused by the slowing revenue growth, particularly in the United States and
Other Europe, coupled with the Company's continued investment in certain
expanding markets and strategic initiatives.
Interest and other expense decreased $2.1 million from the second quarter of
2000 to $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2001. Net interest expense,
including the loss on sale of accounts receivable, was $8.0 million in the
second quarter of 2001 compared to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2000.
This decrease in expense is due to the lower borrowing levels resulting from the
improvement in working capital management. Translation gains were $.9 million in
the second quarter of 2001 compared to losses of $.2 million in the second
quarter of 2000.
The Company provided for income taxes during the second quarter of 2001 at a
rate of 36.0%, which is equal to the estimated annual effective tax rate based
on the currently available information. This rate is higher than the U.S.
Federal statutory rate due to foreign repatriations, cost of foreign tax rate
differences and U.S. state income taxes.
On a diluted basis, net earnings per share were $.45 in the second quarter of
2001 compared to $.49 in the second quarter of 2000. The net earnings per share,
on a diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2001 were negatively impacted by
$.05 due to changes in exchange rates.
Operating Results - Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000
Revenues decreased .2% to $5,272.0 million for the first six months of 2001.
Revenues were unfavorably impacted by changes in currency exchange rates during
the first six months of 2001 due to the
12
strengthening of the U.S. dollar, as compared to the first six months of 2000,
relative to the currencies in most of the Company's non-U.S. markets. At
constant exchange rates, revenues would have increased 6.1%. Acquisitions had a
favorable impact of less than 1% on consolidated revenues, on a constant
currency basis, during the first six months of 2001.
Constant currency revenue increases during the first six months of 2001 compared
to 2000 were experienced in France (4.2%), the United Kingdom (14.8%), Other
Europe (14.3%) and Other Countries (19.3%). The United States experienced a
revenue decrease of 8.8% for the first six months of 2001 compared to 2000 due
to the impact of the economic slowdown.
Gross profit increased 5.3% to $973.0 million for the first six months of 2001
compared to 2000. Gross profit margin increased 100 basis points (1.0%) from the
first six months of 2000 to 18.5% in 2001. This increase is due primarily to
improving business mix to higher value services and improved pricing in most of
the Company's major markets.
Selling and administrative expenses increased 6.8% to $858.2 million in the
first six months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. As a percent of
gross profit, these expenses were 88.2% in the first six months of 2001 compared
to 87.0% in the first six months of 2000. This increase is due primarily to the
de-leveraging of the business caused by the slowing revenue growth, particularly
in the United States and Other Europe, coupled with the Company's continued
investment in certain expanding markets and strategic initiatives.
Interest and other expense decreased $2.7 million from the first six months of
2000 to $18.8 million in the first six months of 2001. Net interest expense,
including the loss on sale of accounts receivable, was $16.4 million in the
first six months of 2001 compared to $17.3 million for the same period in 2000.
This decrease in expense is due to the lower borrowing levels resulting from the
improvement in working capital management. Translation gains were $.2 million in
the first six months of 2001 compared to losses of $1.3 million in the first six
months of 2000.
The Company provided for income taxes during the first six months of 2001 at a
rate of 36.0%, which is equal to the estimated annual effective tax rate based
on the currently available information. This rate is higher than the U.S.
Federal statutory rate due to cost of foreign repatriations, foreign tax rate
differences and U.S. state income taxes.
On a diluted basis, net earnings per share were $.80 for the first six months of
2001 compared to $.82 for the same period in 2000. The net earnings per share,
on a diluted basis, for the first six months of 2001 were negatively impacted by
$.08 due to changes in exchange rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities was $62.1 million in the first six months
of 2001 compared to cash used by operating activities of $24.9 million in the
first six months of 2000. Excluding the changes in amounts advanced under the
Receivable Facility, cash provided by operating activities was $142.1 million
and $75.1 million in the first six months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. This
increase is mainly due to a 2-day improvement in consolidated accounts
receivable days sales outstanding ("DSO") during the first six months of 2001
compared to 2000. Cash provided by operating activities before changes in
working capital requirements was $104.5 million in the first six months of 2001
compared to $107.4 million in the first six months of 2000.
Capital expenditures were $43.9 million in the first six months of 2001 compared
to $33.8 million during the first six months of 2000. These expenditures were
primarily comprised of purchases of computer equipment and software, office
furniture and other costs related to office openings and refurbishments.
13
During the first six months of 2001, the Company acquired and invested in
several companies throughout the world. The total consideration paid for such
transactions was $96.1 million as of June 30, 2001, which includes the final
payment of $30.0 million in deferred consideration related to the Company's
January 2000 acquisition of Elan Group Limited.
Net cash provided from borrowings was $79.2 million and $161.3 million in the
first six months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Including changes in amounts
advanced under the accounts receivable securitization, there was a net repayment
of $.8 million in the first six months of 2001 compared to net borrowings and
advances of $61.3 million in the same period of 2000. Net borrowings and
advances in 2000 were used to finance acquisitions and working capital needs.
The Company repurchased 100,000 shares and 483,900 shares at a cost of $3.3
million and $14.5 million, respectively, during the first six months of 2001 and
2000, respectively.
Net accounts receivable decreased to $1,969.2 million at June 30, 2001 from
$2,094.4 million at December 31, 2000. This decrease is mainly due to the effect
of the change in foreign currency exchange rates in 2001 compared to 2000, which
negatively impacted the receivable balance by $166.7 million, and a 2-day
decrease in consolidated accounts receivable DSO. This decrease was offset by
the $80.0 million reduction in the amount advanced under the Company's U.S.
Receivables Facility.
As of June 30, 2001, the Company had borrowings of $211.1 million and letters of
credit of $67.6 million outstanding under its $415.0 million U.S. revolving
credit facility, and borrowings of $16.4 million outstanding under its U.S.
commercial paper program. The commercial paper borrowings have been classified
as long-term debt due to the availability to refinance them on a long-term basis
under the revolving credit facility.
The Company and some of its foreign subsidiaries maintain separate lines of
credit with foreign financial institutions to meet short-term working capital
needs. As of June 30, 2001, such lines totaled $168.5 million, of which $137.0
million was unused.
On May 1, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$.10 per share which was paid on June 14, 2001 to shareholders of record on June
1, 2001.
During July 2001, the Company acquired Jefferson Wells International, Inc.
("Jefferson Wells"), a professional services provider of internal audit,
accounting, technology and tax services, for approximately $174.0 million,
including assumed debt. The acquisition of Jefferson Wells was financed through
the Company's existing credit facilities. Jefferson Wells operates a network of
offices throughout the United States and Canada.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Since June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Nos. 133, 137 and 138
related to "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
No. 133, as amended" or "Statements"). These Statements establish accounting and
reporting standards requiring derivative instruments are recorded on the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. If the
derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of
the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are
recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge,
the effective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are
recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are
recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings when the hedged item
affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow
hedges are recognized in earnings.
14
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended. As a result of
adopting the standard, the Company recognized the fair value of all derivative
contracts as a net liability of $3.4 million on the consolidated balance sheets.
This amount was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss). There was no impact on earnings.
During June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which
requires all business combinations completed subsequent to June 30, 2001 to be
accounted for using the purchase method. Although the purchase method generally
remains unchanged, this standard also requires that acquired intangible assets
should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible assets are
obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible assets
can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the
acquirer's intent to do so. Intangible assets separately identified must be
amortized over their estimated economic life. Goodwill or identifiable
intangible assets with an indefinite life resulting from such business
combinations are no longer required to be amortized.
This statement is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2001. The Company
has accounted for all previous acquisitions under the purchase method and the
related excess of purchase price over net assets was mainly goodwill, therefore,
the adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
During June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which prohibits the amortization of goodwill over an estimated useful
life. Rather, goodwill will be subject to impairment reviews by applying a
fair-value-based test at the reporting unit level, which generally represents
operations one level below the segments reported by the Company. An impairment
loss will be recorded for any goodwill that is determined to be impaired.
This statement is effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption,
the Company will perform an impairment test on all existing goodwill, which will
be updated at least annually. The Company has not yet determined the extent of
any impairment losses on its existing goodwill, however, any such losses are not
expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
The Euro
Twelve of the fifteen member countries of the European Union (the "participating
countries") have established fixed conversion rates between their existing
sovereign currencies (the "legacy currencies") and the Euro and have agreed to
adopt the Euro as their common legal currency. The legacy currencies will remain
legal tender in the participating countries as denominations of the Euro between
January 1, 1999 and January 1, 2002 (the "transition period"). During the
transition period, public and private parties may pay for goods and services
using either the Euro or the participating country's legacy currency. Beginning
on January 1, 2002, Euro-denominated bills and coins will be issued and legacy
currencies will be withdrawn from circulation.
The Company has significant operations in many of the participating countries
and continues to assess the impact of the Euro on its business operations. Since
the Company's labor costs and prices are generally determined on a local basis,
the near-term impact of the Euro has been and is expected to be primarily
related to making internal information systems modifications to meet employee
payroll, customer invoicing and financial reporting requirements. Such
modifications relate to converting currency values and to operating in a dual
currency environment during the transition period. Modifications of internal
information systems have been occurring throughout the transition period and are
mainly coordinated with other system-related upgrades and enhancements. All
modifications are expected to be completed prior to December 2001. The Company
will account for all such system modification costs in accordance with its
existing policy and does not expect such costs to be material to the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
