TROY, Mich., Feb. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelly®(Nasdaq: KELYA, KELYB), a leading specialty talent solutions provider, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021. The company's 2021 fiscal year is a 52-week year, and the fourth quarter of 2021 includes 13 weeks. The company's 2020 fiscal year was a 53-week year, and the fourth quarter of 2020 included 14 weeks.
Peter Quigley, president and chief executive officer, announced revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $1.3 billion, a 0.7% increase compared to the corresponding quarter of 2020. Year-over-year revenue trends were negatively impacted by the additional week in the 2020 period. Adjusted for the impact of the additional week in 2020, revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 6.0%. Improving year-over-year revenues in the quarter reflect increasing customer demand compared to the COVID-19-impacted prior year period.
Earnings from operations in the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $15.3 million, compared to earnings of $9.5 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2020. The 2021 fourth-quarter results include a $4.1 million restructuring charge. The 2020 fourth-quarter results included a $4.4 million restructuring charge. On an adjusted basis, earnings from operations were $19.4 million compared to $13.9 million in the corresponding quarter of 2020.
Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2021 were $1.80 compared to $0.59 per share in the fourth quarter of 2020. Included in the earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2021 is a non-cash gain, net of tax, on Kelly's investment in Persol Holdings common stock of $0.87 and a gain on insurance settlement, net of tax, of $0.36, partially offset by a loss of $0.08 related to restructuring charges, net of tax. Included in the earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2020 is $0.26 from a non-cash gain per share on Kelly's investment in Persol Holdings common stock, net of tax, partially offset by a loss of $0.08 related to restructuring charges, net of tax. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $0.65 in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $0.41 in the corresponding quarter of 2020.
"Our fourth-quarter results reflect that the economic recovery continues. While our revenue growth in the quarter was affected by talent supply, we are pleased with our ability to leverage growth into solid gross profit and earnings improvements," said Quigley.
Operating earnings for the full year of 2021 totaled $48.6 million, compared to a loss of $93.6 million reported for the full year of 2020. The 2021 full-year results included a $4.0 million restructuring charge. The 2020 full-year results include a $147.7 million goodwill impairment charge, $12.8 million of restructuring charges, a $9.5 million customer dispute charge and a $32.1 million gain on sale of assets. On an adjusted basis, earnings from operations for the full year of 2021 were $52.6 million compared to $44.3 million for the full year of 2020.
Diluted earnings per share for the full year of 2021 were $3.91 compared to a loss per share of $1.83 for the full year of 2020. Included in the earnings per share for the full year of 2021 is $2.12 from a non-cash gain on Kelly's investment in Persol Holdings common stock, net of tax, and a $0.36 gain on insurance settlement, net of tax, partially offset by a $0.07 per share restructuring charge, net of tax. Included in the loss per share for the full year of 2020 is a non-cash goodwill impairment charge, net of tax, of $3.17; restructuring charges, net of tax, of $0.24; a $0.17 customer dispute charge, net of tax; and a non-cash loss, net of tax, on Kelly's investment in Persol Holdings common stock of $0.29, partially offset by a gain of $0.61 related to the gain on sale of assets, net of tax. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $1.51 for the full year of 2021 compared to $1.44 for the full year of 2020.
In other actions taken today, Persol Holdings and Kelly have agreed to changes in their relationship in the APAC region.
First, Kelly will reduce its ownership interest in PersolKelly Pte. Ltd., the staffing joint venture established between Kelly and Persol in 2016, from 49% to 2.5%. Persol will acquire 46.5% of the shares held by Kelly through a Persol subsidiary. These changes will have no impact on the operations of PersolKelly, which remains a premier staffing supplier across the region. PersolKelly will continue to use the brand name, PersolKelly, for a period of time.
Second, Kelly and Persol will discontinue their cross-shareholding. Kelly holds 9,106,800 shares of Persol Holdings common stock, and Persol owns 1,576,169 shares of Kelly's Class A common stock and 1,475 shares of its Class B common stock. Kelly will monetize its equity holdings in Persol by selling all its shares in an open market transaction. Kelly will also buy back from Persol its equity position in Kelly. These actions will allow Kelly to realize the appreciation of its equity investment in Persol and enable the company to reinvest in Kelly's specialty growth strategy. Both stock transactions are expected to be completed within two business days.
Persol Holdings continues to be a valued partner to Kelly, and the companies' senior leaders will continue to regularly meet as part of this valued business partnership. PersolKelly, under the leadership of CEO Francis Koh, will continue to provide workforce solutions to customers across 13 markets in the Asia Pacific market and Kelly, under the leadership of Pete Hamilton, will continue to operate KellyOCG in the region.
"Kelly is already building on our momentum from 2021, which included Softworld, our largest acquisition to date, the creation of a strong, diverse leadership team, and the introduction of new solutions and products in our specialty businesses," said Quigley. "With the additional transactions announced today, Kelly will free up significant capital to invest in our specialty strategy, positioning us to elevate growth and profitability in 2022 and beyond."

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2020 goodwill impairment charge, the 2021 and 2020 gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings, the 2020 gain on sale of assets, the 2020 customer dispute, the 2021 and 2020 restructuring charges and the 2021 gain on insurance settlement are useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2021 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.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (percent of total GAAP revenue) which Management believes is useful to compare operating performance compared to prior periods and uses it in conjunction with GAAP measures to assess performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be used in conjunction with GAAP measurements.
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 primarily represents the excess of the proceeds over the cost of the headquarters properties sold during the first quarter of 2020. |
|
(4) |
Customer dispute in 2020 represents a non-cash charge in Mexico to increase the reserve against a long-term receivable from a former customer based on an updated probability of loss assessment. |
|
(5) |
Restructuring charges in 2021 represent severance costs as part of cost management actions designed to increase operational efficiencies within enterprise functions that provide centralized support to operating units. Restructuring charges in 2020 represent severance costs and lease terminations in preparation for the new operating model adopted in the third quarter of 2020. |
|
(6) |
Gain on insurance settlement represents a payment received in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to the settlement of claims under a representations and warranties insurance policy purchased by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Softworld. |
