Kelly Services (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB), a global leader in providing workforce solutions, today announced results for the third quarter of 2016.

Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $1.2 billion, a 7.6% decrease (a 7.1% decrease on a constant currency basis) compared to the corresponding quarter of 2015. During the third quarter of 2016, Kelly transferred its APAC staffing operations to the TS Kelly Asia Pacific joint venture and recorded a gain of $87.2 million. Kelly retains a 49% ownership interest in the newly formed joint venture. Excluding the APAC staffing operations from the third quarter of 2015, adjusted 2016 third quarter revenue was down 0.7% year over year (a 0.1% decrease on a constant currency basis).

Earnings from operations for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $18.8 million, compared to $16.6 million reported for the third quarter of 2015. Excluding the APAC staffing operations from the third quarter of 2015, adjusted earnings from operations were $14.5 million; therefore, Kelly's third quarter 2016 earnings increased 29% year-over-year on an adjusted basis.

Diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2016 were $2.06 compared to $0.23 per share in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding the gain from 2016 third quarter results and APAC staffing operations from 2015 third quarter results, adjusted earnings per share were $0.44 in the third quarter of 2016 and $0.19 in the third quarter of 2015.

Commenting on the third quarter, Camden stated, "Sorting through the financial complexity around the JV transaction, Kelly's third quarter performance reflects good operating leverage on basically flat revenue. We increased our gross profit rate, reduced expenses, and turned in healthy operating earnings and solid returns for our shareholders. Our U.S. Staffing segment showed competitive strength and agility in an uncertain economic environment, and our OCG business delivered year-over-year GP improvement. With the APAC JV now firmly in place, we are operating as a more focused, disciplined company relentlessly committed to profitability."

KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2016 gain on investment in equity affiliate, 2016 restructuring charges and disposal of APAC businesses is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2016 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of 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.

                                                                            
    (1) Gain on investment in equity affiliate represents the difference    
    between the fair value and book value of amounts contributed by the     
    Company to the investment in TS Kelly Asia Pacific.                     
                                                                            
    (2) Disposal of APAC businesses represents the 2015 operational results 
    of business contributed to TS Kelly Asia Pacific in the third quarter of
    2016.                                                                   
                                                                            
    (3) Restructuring charges in 2016 include costs related to actions      
    during the second quarter in the Americas and EMEA designed to increase 
    operational efficiency and align our staffing operations with           
    opportunities for growth within their markets.
