Second-Quarter 2024 Earnings

•Q2 operating earnings of $12.2 million; $28.1 million on an adjusted basis, up 95%

•Q2 revenue down following sale of European staffing operations; up 0.6% on an organic basis

•Q2 adjusted EBITDA margin increased 170 basis points to 3.7% driven by meaningful reduction in operating expenses resulting from business transformation initiatives and sale of European staffing operations

•Company expects further expansion of EBITDA margin from the May 31, 2024 acquisition of Motion Recruitment Partners, LLC ("MRP")

TROY, Mich. (August 8, 2024) – Kelly (Nasdaq: KELYA, KELYB), a leading specialty talent solutions provider, today announced results for the second quarter of 2024.

Peter Quigley, president and chief executive officer, announced revenue for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $1.06 billion, a 13.1% decrease compared to the corresponding quarter of 2023 resulting primarily from the sale of the company’s European staffing operations on January 2, 2024. Excluding the impact of the sale of the European staffing operations and the recent acquisition of MRP, revenue improved 0.6% on an organic basis reflecting the continuing impact of customers’ more guarded approach to hiring and initiating new projects or capital spending. MRP revenue is included in reported revenue upon acquisition beginning in June 2024 and added 400 bps to reported year-over-year revenue growth.

Kelly reported operating earnings in the second quarter of 2024 of $12.2 million, compared to earnings of $6.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted earnings were $28.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The $15.9 million increase from reported earnings includes a loss on the sale of our European staffing operations, charges related to transformation actions and the sale of our European staffing operations, an impairment charge related to excess leased property and a gain on the sale of assets related to the Ayers Group. The acquisition of MRP added $1.5 million of earnings from operations in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted earnings in the second quarter of 2023 were $14.2 million. The $8.0 million increase from reported earnings included transformation related charges and an asset impairment charge. The European staffing operations produced $1 million of earnings from operations on an adjusted basis in the second quarter of 2023.

Earnings per share in the second quarter of 2024 were $0.12 compared to earnings per share of $0.20 in the second quarter of 2023. Included in earnings per share in the second quarter of 2024 were a loss on the sale of EMEA staffing operations and a gain on the sale of Ayers Group, net of tax of $0.16, as well as transaction costs related to the acquisition of MRP, restructuring charges associated with our transformation and an asset impairment charge, net of tax, of $0.43. Included in the earnings per share in the second quarter of 2023 are $0.16 per share related to restructuring charges and an asset impairment charge, net of tax. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $0.71 in the second quarter of 2024, a significant improvement from $0.36 per share in the corresponding quarter of 2023.

“In the second quarter, employers continued to take a cautious approach to hiring, though customer demand stabilized on a sequential basis across much of our business – a development that is reflected in Kelly’s organic revenue for the quarter,” said Quigley. “As we continued to navigate uncertain market conditions, we remained focused on what we can control. Our ongoing growth and efficiency initiatives increased Kelly’s EBITDA margin in the first half of the year to 3.4% on an organic, adjusted basis – at the midpoint of our initial expectation for EBITDA margin expansion which we established one year ago. This improvement, combined with the scale and capabilities we added through our recent acquisition of MRP, position Kelly to accelerate profitable growth as market conditions improve.”

Kelly also reported that on August 7, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend is payable on September 4, 2024, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 21, 2024.

In conjunction with its second-quarter earnings release, Kelly has published a financial presentation on the Investor Relations page of its public website and will host a conference call at 9 a.m. ET on August 8 to review the results and answer questions.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(UNAUDITED)

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2024 gain on the sale of our EMEA staffing operations, the 2024 gain on sale of assets, the 2024 gain on forward contract, the 2024 transaction costs, the 2024 asset impairment charge, the 2024 restructuring charges, the 2023 asset impairment charge, and the 2023 restructuring charges are useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2024 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of these items allows for a meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. Management also believes that such measures are used by those analyzing performance of companies in the staffing industry to compare current performance to prior periods and to assess future performance.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (percent of total GAAP revenue) which Management believes is useful to compare operating performance compared to prior periods and uses it in conjunction with GAAP measures to assess performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be used in conjunction with GAAP measurements. Management also uses year-to-date free cash flow (operating cash flows less capital expenditures) to indicate the change in cash balances arising from operating activities, net of working capital needs and expenditures on fixed assets.

These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) (Gain) loss on sale of EMEA staffing operations represents the loss as of the second quarter-end 2024 and gain as of June year-to-date 2024 as a result of the sale in January 2024.

(2) Gain on forward contract represents the gain recognized in the first quarter of 2024 for the settlement of the foreign currency forward contract in January 2024 that was entered into in 2023 relating to the sale of the EMEA staffing operations.

(3) Gain on sale of assets represents the sale of Ayers Group in the second quarter of 2024.

(4) Transaction costs in the second quarter of 2024 includes employee termination costs and transition costs directly related to the sale of the EMEA staffing operations and the acquisition of MRP. Employee termination costs and transition costs related to the sale of the EMEA staffing operations were $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $7.1 million for June year-to-date 2024. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of MRP were $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.

(5) Asset impairment charge in the second quarter of 2024 for certain right-of-use assets related to our leased headquarters facility reflects adjustments to how we are utilizing the building as part of our ongoing transformation efforts. Asset impairment charge in the second quarter of 2023 represents the impairment of right-of-use assets related to an unoccupied existing office space lease.

(6) Restructuring charges in 2024 represent a continuation of the comprehensive transformation initiative that started in the second quarter of 2023 that will further streamline the Company's operating model to enhance organizational efficiency and effectiveness. In the second quarter of 2024, these restructuring charges include $1.9 million of costs to execute the transformation and $2.4 million of severance. For June year-to-date 2024, these restructuring charges include $3.5 million of costs to execute the transformation and $3.1 million of severance. Restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2023 relate to a comprehensive transformation initiative that includes actions that will further streamline the Company's operating model to enhance organizational efficiency and effectiveness. These restructuring charges include $4.5 million of costs to execute the transformation through the use of an external consultant and $1.1 million of severance. Restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2023 represent severance costs and lease and other terminations as a result of management undertaking actions to further our cost management efforts in response to the current demand levels and reflects a repositioning of our P&I staffing business to better capitalize on opportunities in local markets.
