TROY, Mich. (February 16, 2023) – Kelly (Nasdaq: KELYA, KELYB), a leading specialty talent solutions provider, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022.

Peter Quigley, president and chief executive officer, announced revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $1.2 billion, a 1.3% decrease, or 0.7% increase in constant currency, compared to the corresponding quarter of 2021. Year-over-year revenue trends were impacted by foreign currency headwinds and the impact of the sale of our Russian operations in July 2022. Year-over-year results in the quarter also reflect the impact of the recent acquisitions of RocketPower, a recruitment process outsourcing firm, and Pediatric Therapeutic Services, a specialty firm providing in-school therapy services.

Kelly reported operating earnings in the fourth quarter of 2022 of $4.6 million, compared to earnings of $15.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2021. Earnings in the fourth quarter of 2022 included a $10.3 million goodwill impairment charge related to RocketPower. The charge reflects the acceleration of declines in hiring in the high-tech industry in which RocketPower specializes. Excluding the impairment charge and a $0.9 million gain related to the sale of real property, adjusted earnings from operations were $14.0 million. Earnings in the fourth quarter of 2021 included a $4.1 million restructuring charge and adjusted earnings were $19.4 million. Adjusted earnings declined primarily as a result of higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the impact of structural improvements in the business mix which resulted in higher gross profit.

Loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $0.02 compared to earnings per share of $1.80 in the fourth quarter of 2021. Included in the loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2022 is a $0.23 per share goodwill impairment charge, net of tax, related to RocketPower, partially offset by a $0.02 per share gain on sale of real property, net of tax. Included in the fourth quarter of 2021 is a non-cash gain, net of tax, on Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common shares of $0.87 and a gain on insurance settlement, net of tax, of $0.36, partially offset by a loss of $0.08 related to restructuring charges, net of tax. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $0.18 in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decline from $0.65 per share in the corresponding quarter of 2021.

Operating earnings for the full year of 2022 totaled $14.8 million compared to earnings of $48.6 million for the full year of 2021. The 2022 full-year results included a $41.0 million goodwill impairment charge, an $18.7 million loss on the disposal of Kelly’s Russian operations and $6.2 million of gains on the sale of assets. The 2021 full-year results included a $4.0 million restructuring charge. On an adjusted basis, earnings from operations for the full year of 2022 were $68.3 million compared to $52.6 million for the full year of 2021, a 30% improvement.

The loss per share for the full year of 2022 was $1.64 compared to earnings per share for the full year of 2021 of $3.91. Included in the loss per share for the full year of 2022 is a $1.28 loss on Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common stock, net of tax, an $0.89 goodwill impairment charge, net of tax, a $0.49 loss on sale of Kelly’s Russian operations, net of tax, and a $0.43 loss on foreign currency matters, net of tax, partially offset by a $0.12 gain on sale of assets, net of tax. Included in the earnings per share for the full year of 2021 was $2.12 from a non-cash gain on Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common stock, net of tax, and a $0.36 gain on insurance settlement, net of tax, partially offset by a $0.07 per share restructuring charge, net of tax. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $1.33 for the full year of 2022 compared to $1.51 for the full year of 2021.

“As macroeconomic uncertainty increased in the fourth quarter, we remained focused on executing our specialty strategy, achieving top-line growth in our Education, SET, and OCG segments, and expanding our gross profit rate on a year-over-year basis as we continue to remix our portfolio toward higher-margin, higher-value products and specialties,” said Quigley. “While it’s difficult to know how the macroeconomic situation will unfold as we move forward in 2023, we will position Kelly to manage through this economic cycle while staying the course in our aggressive pursuit of profitable growth. With ample capital available to us, we will continue to execute our inorganic strategy and invest in technologies and new products that will improve the talent and customer experience, increase efficiency, and enable organic growth well into the future.”

Kelly also reported that on February 14, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend is payable on March 13, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 27, 2023.
