Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $1.4 billion, a 0.1% increase compared to the corresponding quarter of 2012.
Earnings from operations for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $16.4 million, compared to $23.8 million reported for the second quarter of 2012. Included in the results of operations in the second quarter of 2013 are impairment charges of $1.7 million and restructuring charges of $0.8 million. The results of operations in the second quarter of 2012 included a benefit due to changes in the estimated cost of restructuring of $2.2 million. Excluding the impairment and restructuring charges, earnings from operations were $18.9 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to adjusted earnings of $21.6 million last year.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2013 were $0.26 compared to $0.40 per share in the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.33 in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $0.34 in the second quarter of 2012.
“We-re pleased with our second quarter performance in each operating segment, given the uneven and generally subpar global economic growth,” said Camden. “The Americas delivered solid results that were in line with our expectations, considering both our investment strategy and the lower volume we-re experiencing. In EMEA and APAC, we-re proud of our efforts in recalibrating our operations to bring costs in line with revenue in a tough environment. In addition, the growth we are seeing in -s revenue and fees confirms that our solutions are meeting market demand for outsourced management programs, and we believe the investments we-re making will support our long-term growth in that segment.”
Kelly also reported that on August 6, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per share. The dividend is payable September 9 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 19.

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the restructuring charges and asset impairment charges is useful to understand the Company-s fiscal 2013 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding these items allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. 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.
