ManpowerGroup reports Q3 adjusted EPS $1.29, consensus $1.29

Reports Q3 revenue $4.5B, consensus $4.5B. Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO, said, “The operating environment has not changed significantly through the third quarter and employers in North America and Europe remain cautious. Although demand levels have largely stabilized at lower levels in these markets, during the quarter we have taken additional cost actions based on the extended duration of the current operating environment. At the same time, our experienced management team continues to drive our key Diversification, Digitization and Innovation initiatives which are strengthening ManpowerGroup for the future. We anticipate diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter will be between $0.98 and $1.08, which includes an estimated unfavorable currency impact of 1 cent. Our guidance excludes any restructuring costs and any Argentina related impact of non-cash currency translation losses.”
