FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MANPOWER REPORTS 2ND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF 2003 RESULTS
MILWAUKEE, WI, USA, July 17, 2003 - Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported
that net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $29.1 million, or
37 cents per diluted share, an increase of 14 percent, from $25.7 million, or 33
cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Revenues for the second quarter totaled
$3.0 billion, an increase of 16 percent from the year-earlier period. Systemwide
sales were $3.3 billion. Results for the second quarter were positively affected
by relatively stronger foreign currencies compared to the prior year period. On
a constant currency basis, earnings per diluted share for the quarter were 30
cents on a 1 percent improvement in revenues.
"Our second quarter performance was successful from a management
perspective, however, we continue to be operating in a difficult economic
environment in most of our markets around the world," said Jeffrey A. Joerres,
Manpower Chairman and CEO. "Our operation in France made a sizable contribution
to the quarter's profit, despite these challenges, and we also benefited from
strong performances in Japan, Italy and Germany.
"In the second quarter we saw marginal increases in revenue on a global
basis. However, in the U.S. we have yet to experience an increase in activity to
indicate that we are in the midst of a meaningful upward economic turn," Joerres
stated. "Based on our current trends, we anticipate third quarter earnings per
share will be between 42 and 46 cents, including a 4 cent favorable impact from
currency."
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $44.0 million
or 56 cents per diluted share, an increase of 35 percent from $32.6 million, or
42 cents per diluted share
