ManpowerGroup's (MAN) Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Up Y/Y

Zacks Equity Research
·4 min read

ManpowerGroup Inc. MAN reported mixed second-quarter 2022 results, with earnings beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues missing the same. The earnings beat failed to impress the market as the stock declined 6.3% since the earnings release on Jul 19.

Quarterly adjusted earnings of $2.33 per share beat the consensus mark by a slight margin and improved 15.4% year over year. The bottom line benefited from robust demand for higher margin offerings.

Revenues of $5.07 billion missed the consensus mark by 3.8% and decreased 3.9% year over year on a reported basis. Revenues increased 6% on a constant-currency (cc) basis and 3% on an organic constant currency basis.

Continued supply chain disruptions in certain European markets offset the positive impacts of the strong performance of higher-margin brands and revenue growth in Experis and Talent Solutions in the quarter. Experis and Talent Solutions grew 10% and 13% year over year, respectively. Manpower brand increased 1% year over year.
