TROY, Mich., May 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kelly (Nasdaq: KELYA) (Nasdaq: KELYB), a leading specialty talent solutions provider, today announced results for the first quarter of 2020.
Peter Quigley, president and chief executive officer, announced revenue for the first quarter of 2020 totaled $1.3 billion, an 8.8% decrease, or 8.3% in constant currency, compared to the corresponding quarter of 2019. Included in the revenue decline is an estimated year-over-year decrease of 2.7% as a result of lower demand during the second half of March as customers reacted to the COVID-19 crisis.
Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2020 totaled $111.8 million, compared to the $16.8 million of earnings from operations reported for the first quarter of 2019. The 2020 first quarter results include a $147.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, an $8.7 million restructuring charge and a gain on the sale of headquarters buildings of $32.1 million. The first quarter of 2019 included a restructuring charge of $6.3 million. On an adjusted basis, earnings from operations were $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $23.1 million for the first quarter of 2019.
Diluted loss per share in the first quarter of 2020 is $3.91 compared to earnings per share of $0.56 in the first quarter of 2019. Included in the loss per share in the first quarter of 2020 is a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.18 per share, net of tax, a $1.38 per share non-cash loss, net of tax, on Persol Holdings common stock, a $0.17 per share restructuring charge, net of tax, and a gain on the sale of headquarters buildings of $0.61, per share net of tax. Included in the earnings per share in the first quarter of 2019 is a $0.23 from a non-cash gain per share on Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common stock, net of tax and a $0.12 per share restructuring charge, net of tax. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $0.20 for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $0.45 for the corresponding quarter of 2019.
“Kelly began the year with signs of stabilization in our U.S. staffing business, and continued growth in our outcome and consulting businesses,” stated Quigley. “However, the sudden and dramatic disruption sparked by COVID-19 in mid-March was unlike anything we’ve seen in our nearly 75 years. Negative market reaction to the crisis, including declines in our share price, triggered a goodwill impairment charge in the quarter that had a significant impact on our reported results. While we continue to closely manage the financial impact of the pandemic, the non-cash impairment charge does not change our views, or confidence, in our ability to weather the COVID-19 crisis or to capitalize on opportunities when the crisis ends. We’re moving forward with our transformation into a specialty talent solutions provider by taking prudent, near-term measures to protect our financial flexibility, while preserving our ability to capture growth coming out of this crisis. And, of course, our top priority has been, and continues to be, the health and safety of our people.”
In conjunction with its first 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 9:00 a.m. (ET) on May 4 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 2020 goodwill impairment charge, the 2020 and 2019 gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings, the 2020 gain on sale of assets, and the 2020 and 2019 restructuring charges, and are useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2020 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.
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) The goodwill impairment charge is the result of an interim impairment test the Company performed during the first quarter of 2020, due to a triggering event caused by a decline in the Company's common stock price.
(2) The gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings represent the change in fair value of the investment during the period presented and the related tax expense and benefit.
(3) Gain on sale of assets in 2020 represents the excess of the proceeds over the cost of the headquarters properties sold during the first quarter of 2020.
(4) Restructuring charges in 2020 represent severance costs and lease terminations in preparation for the new operating model later in 2020. Restructuring charges in 2019 represent severance costs primarily related to U.S. branch-based staffing operations.
