TROY, MI--(Marketwire - November 10, 2010) - Kelly Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB), a leader in providing workforce solutions, today announced results for the third quarter of 2010.

Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the third quarter of 2010 totaled $1.3 billion, a 22% increase compared to the corresponding quarter in 2009. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by 23%.

Earnings from operations for the third quarter of 2010 totaled $14.3 million, compared to losses from operations of $28.0 million reported for the third quarter of 2009. Included in the results from operations for the third quarter of 2010 are restructuring charges of $2.8 million. The loss from operations in the third quarter of 2009 included restructuring charges of $4.6 million and impairment charges of $0.5 million. Excluding the restructuring and impairment charges, earnings from operations were $17.1 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to a loss from operations of $22.9 million in 2009.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2010 were $0.26 compared to third quarter 2009 losses of $0.43 per share.

Commenting on the third quarter results, Camden stated, "We're very pleased that demand for temporary staffing accelerated as global economic expansion persisted and labor markets continued to slowly strengthen. These trends, along with our ability to maintain a leaner cost structure, translated into solid third quarter earnings.

"Our efforts and discipline are clearly yielding results. We're confident that our realigned strategy enables us to take advantage of growth areas in our industry, particularly professional/technical staffing and supply chain management. We will continue to focus on improving profitability through client-focused solutions that connect the world's top companies with the world's best talent."

                                      (UNAUDITED)

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the restructuring and impairment charges is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2010 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding 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) In 2010, restructuring costs relate primarily to severance and lease termination costs for branches in the EMEA and APAC Commercial segments that were in the process of closure at the end of 2009, as well as severance costs related to the corporate headquarters. In 2009, restructuring costs relate primarily to global severance, lease terminations, asset write-offs and other miscellaneous costs incurred in connection with the reduction in the number of permanent employees and the consolidation, sale or closure of branch locations.

(2) In 2010, the asset impairment charges relate to the write-off of incomplete software projects in Europe. In 2009, the asset impairment charges included adjustments to the value of goodwill for the Company's Americas Commercial, APAC Commercial and EMEA PT segments, as well as long-lived assets and intangibles related to operations in Japan and Europe.
