Briefing

ManpowerGroup's Q3 2023 results reflected a challenging operating environment, particularly in North America and Europe, leading to a revenue decline.

ManpowerGroup reported Q3 2023 revenues of $4.7 billion, a 3% decrease year-over-year, with net earnings of $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $2.13 in the prior year. The results were impacted by a challenging operating environment in North America and Europe, though Latin America and Asia Pacific Middle East showed solid demand. The company is implementing cost reduction and restructuring actions to align operations with weaker market demand.

  • Revenues decreased by 3% as reported and 5% in constant currency, totaling $4.7 billion.
  • Challenging operating conditions in North America and Europe significantly impacted revenue.
  • Gross profit margin stood at 17.6%, with resilient staffing margins but weakened permanent recruitment demand.
  • The company repurchased $50 million of common stock and generated strong free cash flow of $245 million during the quarter.
