- Ongoing stabilization across North America and Europe overall, including sequential improvement in France and market leading growth in Italy. Latin America and Asia Pacific saw continued strong demand during the quarter
- Compared to the previous quarter, year over year revenue growth in Manpower increased and the rate of revenue decline in both Experis and Talent Solutions also improved
- Gross profit margin of 16.3% reflects softer than expected permanent recruitment activity in Europe while year-over-year staffing margin trends held steady from the previous quarter
- Cost actions drove a sequential improvement in the year over year SG&A decrease with additional restructuring actions taken in the quarter
- Strong cash provided by operating activities1 during the quarter. Refinanced the €500 million Euro Note (previously scheduled to mature in June 2026) and reset the revolving credit facility for a new 5-year period
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) today reported net earnings of $0.64 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to net earnings of $0.47 per diluted share in the prior year period. Net earnings in the quarter were $30.2 million compared to net earnings of $22.5 million a year earlier. Revenues for the fourth quarter were $4.7 billion, a 7% increase from the prior year period.
The current year quarter included restructuring costs, pension settlements, and Argentina hyperinflationary related non-cash currency translation losses which reduced earnings per share by $0.28 in the fourth quarter. Excluding these charges, earnings per share was $0.92 per diluted share in the quarter representing a decrease of 17% in constant currency.2
Financial results in the quarter were also impacted by the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies compared to the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 1% compared to the prior year period and, on an organic constant currency basis, revenues increased 2% compared to the prior year period.
Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chair & CEO, said "We are pleased with our solid fourth quarter results, which reflect improving stabilization in market trends and continued execution of our go-to market and cost optimization strategy. Throughout 2025, we delivered sequential progress in both revenue and profitability, as adjusted, exiting the year with strengthening trends. France and Northern Europe improved, alongside market-leading performance in Italy. In North America, Manpower and Talent Solutions TAPFIN MSP continued to perform well, while Experis stabilized and RPO and permanent recruitment faced continued headwinds. Looking ahead, assuming current trends hold, we see opportunity to capitalize on improving market demand as we progress technology initiatives to diversify our capabilities and win market share. We will remain agile and continue to execute against our disciplined transformation to drive productivity gains and operating leverage."
"We anticipate diluted earnings per share in the first quarter will be between $0.45 and $0.55, which includes an estimated favorable currency impact of 6 cents and a 43.0% effective tax rate."
Net losses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $13.3 million, or net losses of $0.29 per basic share compared to net earnings of $145.1 million, or net earnings of $3.01 per diluted share in the prior year, respectively. The full year period included non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, restructuring costs, net losses from the sale of businesses, which will operate as franchises going forward, pension settlements, and Argentina hyperinflationary related non-cash currency translation losses which reduced earnings per share by $3.26. Excluding the net impact of these charges, earnings per share for the year were $2.97 per diluted share representing a decrease of 38% in constant currency. 2 Revenues for the year were $18.0 billion, representing an increase of 1% compared to the prior year or a decrease of 2% in constant currency.
